Ok - Time for some crazy talk

We try to stay on point - and to 'keep it real' here. But, once in a while we get taken away in a flight of fancy. This is one of those times.

Now, you know we love Thomas Jefferson here. At one time in his career as our country's most brilliant founder, he wrote:

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

For those of you that spent your formative years in public city schools, that is from the Declaration of Independence. It formed the basis for our break from the English Crown - and the emergence of the US, the greatest country ever known.

Now, there are those out there, in increasing numbers, that think we are headed down the same road. The difference, of course, is that we are not dealing with a king. Instead, the people in this country voted for the twits that are now racing this country towards all out Socialism. So what is to be done?

Well, the most popular, and practical, is for a state or states to move on their own to re-establish a just government. To do this, though, you would need to be free of Federal entanglements. How could a State do this? Well - by succeeding from the Union and forming their own independent country!

I told you it was time for crazy talk. Oklahoma and Texas have both made noise in that direction. As, in the past, have a couple of Western States. My vote would be for a state with an ocean port - gotta get your goods in somewhere. It would have to be a very gun friendly state - no need to dwell on THAT. A state where the National Guard would ignore a federalization order.

Alaska would be nice. It is far away and hard to get to. Kind of cold, so dress warm. Sarah is already there...So I think we would be welcomed. They have lots of oil - so money would not be problem. There would be no fighting for land to build on.

Just some food for thought. Things are going to get bad here - and sooner rather than later. When you need some thought to help you escape our reality here --- think the Independent Commonwealth of Alaska!
