This is all so laughable....

I checked out the petitions and it’s really funny seeing someone from New York petition to have Michigan released. It’s all very good reading and fun but it will actually get... nowhere. Nothing will happen.

America's Elite New Normal:

Americans begin to take notice of the Two Americas.. " . . . it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. . . . I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. [It will become all one thing, or all the other.]"

Can people not recognize the obvious trap in this?

Lightworker Barack Hussein Obama has never had an original thought in his life. Everything he and his lackeys have ever uttered is some retread, shopworn shibboleth of the left from either the 1930s, 1950s, 1960s or 1970s.

This one is from Mao in the 1950s.

“Let one hundred flowers blossom. Let one hundred school of thought contend.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Flowers_Campaign

Signing these ‘petitions’ is one step removed from ‘suicide by cop’ in the police state that has emerged in the past decade.

That website will bring us heartache later. I hope it is flooded for petitions for everything under the sun. Free ice cream every Sunday, why not.

Axlerod will have his little social media school using that site to push Obama’s agenda. I think the site needs to be discredited. This helps.

The Texas petition leads all others by a wide margin. Shortly before 9:00 a.m. EST Wednesday, it had attracted 94,700 signatures.

"Arizona,...Colorado, Florida,...Indiana,...New Jersey, New York,...Oregon,..."

LOL! Now that's funny! Are they wanting to become more like the old Soviet states?

Why are these petitions addressed to the White House in the first place? It’s not as if Obama can just up and grant them.

They’ve already got many of us— those of us who express opinions and shop on the net, use Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.

Heck, they’ve said those social network folk may go work in the administration. Skype is handing out information without a warrant.

They will just go collect Levin, Rush, Hannity, Beck subscriber information. They will check books we’ve purchased at Amazon...on and on.

If it is so far gone, putting your name on that list won’t make a darn bit of difference.

It is especially sad that we are so frightened of our government. That in and of itself says there is a HUGE problem.
