An Appeal to My Fellow Okies

[SicEmBaylor]

One hundred and seventy-six years ago tomorrow, the brave defenders of the Alamo gallantly sacrificed their lives in an effort to buy time for Texican forces to gather their strength with the ultimate goal of winning independence from Mexico and establishing the Republic of Texas. A Republic where, to quote John Wayne in ‘The Alamo’, one can “eat free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose…” To expand on that a little, a Republic where one can keep what they earn and spend it on what they please; a Republic where one is entitled to their own property; a Republic where one can choose what to eat, what to consume, what to watch, and smoke whatever they choose. Those brave men in that old San Antonio Catholic mission did not sacrifice their lives for liberty so that liberty could be supplanted by legions of do-gooder politicians, drone-link bureaucrats, un-elected heads of the Fed, or dogmatic acolytes who consider the principle of liberty to be secondary to their own religious theology. Would they have laid down their lives if they knew that that the liberty they knew would be dead within a few generations? Would they have chosen to take up arms to build a Republic if citizens were no longer allowed to even freely build upon their own property? Would they have accepted a government that provided entitlements from the crib to the grave and involved itself in decisions as personal as what a citizen may or may not consume and what a person does in their own private bedroom? Purely conjecture on my part, but I think not.

On the anniversary of The Battle of the Alamo, the citizens of several states (including my own Oklahoma) will headto the polls to choose an alternative to President Obama. Our nation stands on the precipice – do we allow the march of statism and the ‘American Empire’ to continue unabated or do we take the first step in the long and difficult process of re-founding a Republic based on liberty? Will we do a disservice to our forefathers by making a ‘strategic’ decision to vote for the lesser evil? Will we rise to the occasion and support a candidate who unflinchingly stares down those on the left and the right who are no friend of liberty? Barry Goldwater famously declared, “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.” If that be the case, there is one man in this race who has no vice.

One hundred and seventy-six years ago, 115 Texans stood in defense of liberty. Tomorrow, one Texan continues to do so….Congressman Ron Paul.

"My Fellow Okies"

SicEm dear... do you know what the first words I utter to petition holders on the street corners and state fairs asking if I'm a registered voter in the state of Oklahoma are?

"Are you?"

I give the same courtesy to the push pollers on the phone reading from their scripts, regardless of which candidate they're pushing, regardless of what their agenda or platform or bill is.

So, allow me to speak as a registered voter in the state of Oklahoma about SicEm's agenda here at SoonerFans.com during the past few months.

...for the raping you Gooners are going to receive this saturday. I almost feel sorry for you bastards -- you have no idea what's in store for you. Let me introduce you to the most dynamic QB/WR duo in all of college football: King Griffin III and Kendall Wright.

When Baylor beat Oklahoma, what side of the Red River was SicEm on that weekend? It wasn't the side that will be voting in the March 6 primary.

2- Hijacking a thread on Sooner womens basketball.

When it comes time to supporting a womens basketball coach, does he choose the unquestioned (and Oklahoma native) best in Sherri Coale, or the ugly, bitter, loathsome Skeletor who has NO ties to the state voting tomorrow? Hint: The bobblehead he links is NOT pretty.

Therefore, registered voters of Oklahoma, I appeal to you as a fellow registered voter of Oklahoma who has NEVER wavered from her support of her current home state, a registered voter ever since moving here in 2001, an active voter whether it's from Norman while attending college, or the other cities I've lived and worked in with my husband and parents.

VOTE!

Don't worry about outside influence, they'll be gone after Tuesday, never to be seen again for four years.

Vote.

I don't care who you vote for, but please, exercise your right to vote.

7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Vote, vote, vote.

PS: I will probably vote for Ron Paul, but not because a BAYLOR (not Oklahoma!) fan told me to.

[rock on sooner]

As a native Oklahoman not living there now, allow me to also encourage each of you to vote, for whomever
you choose, but vote!

As an aside, I read recently that approximately 11% of registered Republicans are doing the voting and
caucusing thus far, clearly the most motivated of the party. Also, I heard a report today that only 11.8%
of Americans approve of the work of the Congress. I wonder how many Pubs are on both lists.

He was terrific here in Tulsa. So glad he came here to sway my vote tomorrow.

[TUSooner]

Despite SicEm's fullsome endorsement and romanticization of the Alamo (which would make a Texican blush), I'd vote for Ron Paul if I were there.
Not that I really wish for ALL of his policies to be enacted and enforced, but as a protest against the culturally repulsive creep-christianty of Sanctimorium, the vulgar egotistical fraud who is Newt, and Mitt's pathetic pandering.

I would have voted for Ron but he's not really allowing me to say anything by voting for him. If I vote for Santorum and he continues to split the vote like Perot did back in the day....maybe we will end up with a 3rd party and really get things turned around this time. I'm not sure what direction the Republican Party is headed right now but it seems like they have tried Richard Steele and now Reince Priebus, they have had their last VP Candidate Sarah Palin rolling around in a bus and hired by FOX to tell people what to think.

It's just so sad to see these tactics expand when they obviously didn't work in 2008. You can think that those of us who don't just wet ourselves everytime something is said about Obama is written or spoken but we have watched it now for years and are pretty disgusted about the 8 years prior to 2008 and the current GOP Candidates act like none of that ever happened. It's now just coming Home to Roost as to just how upset Americans are about how badly the Wars were handled. We don't trust that the GOP is doing what is right and we now are bringing Home many of our heroes that feel the same way.

Split the vote with who? That would require a strong 3rd party candidate which is highly unlikely to be the case.

I'm not sure what direction the Republican Party is headed right now/quote]
The same direction it has been heading for more than a decade -- the wrong one.
[quote]but it seems like they have tried Richard Steele and now Reince Priebus, they have had their last VP Candidate Sarah Palin rolling around in a bus and hired by FOX to tell people what to think.
You mean, Michael Steele, right? I can't stand Palin, but she is no more telling people what to think than any other pundit be it left, right, or in between. Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head and telling them how or what to think.


It's just so sad to see these tactics expand when they obviously didn't work in 2008.
The tactics do work. 2008 was a strategic problem not a tactical problem.

You can think that those of us who don't just wet ourselves everytime something is said about Obama is written or spoken but we have watched it now for years and are pretty disgusted about the 8 years prior to 2008 and the current GOP Candidates act like none of that ever happened.

Girlfriend, you fill my heart with joy. I mean a few Okie Baylor fans post here and you spew contempt in a political thread as if Baylor were a full-pledged rival. I like it. I like it a lot. God bless ya for giving us the creeds!

I wish that Cogburn were running. I'd vote for him. But that isn't happening and neither is Ron Paul gonna win in the current political-power-money environment. It isn't coincidence that the Republicans are so busy ruining each other in a bid to sell out to that religious right and the whole party is going down in flames. In other words, I hope that Santorum wins Oklahoma and gives the presidential election away.

[SicEmBaylor]

Several of you have mentioned the fact that Ron Paul will not win the nomination. This is correct. So why on earth would that stop anyone from voting for Ron Paul? Do you desire that badly to be on the "winning" team?

Does the fact that there's not a demonstrable difference between the ideology of Barack Obama and the other 3 candidates not give you some pause? Does the fact that the nation is such a horrible mess due to "business as usual" politics not make you want to try a candidate who is anything but business as usual?

Since all you have currently is the "Fab Four", may I suggest that George Will is closer to right
than you think. The Dems have to defend 23 seats, twice as many as you Pubs and then entire
House is up, too. If someone can't figure out a way to work together to start to fix what ails
us, the electorate may seriously "throw the bums out!" Not all, obviously, but they may start
with the 94 freshmen representatives from 2010. There were problems before but that enormous
crashing we all heard was the gridlock following the arrival of those freshmen. They took to
heart McConnell's pledge "to make Obama a one term president". What followed was the
greatest example of democracy shooting itself in the foot or head or a$$ in at least the last
60 years! My only regret is that only 1/3 of the Senate is up for re-election, because all
535 plus the prez and vp all need to face the people!

For me it's because I don't want to throw away my vote. A vote for Santorum is a vote against Romney. Let's face it, Romney is who is going to be the GOP Candidate. That's a crying shame. Bought and paid for. It's unfortunate that the SCOTUS has made it this way.

I am concentrating things I don't like. One of those things is seeing politicians sign agreements with guys like Grover Norquist. Even though it would hurt the GOP I think it would be a temporary solution to let politicians know that Americans will end your political career if you make deals with lobbyists and try to state that it's what Americans want.

Our Country will need to collect taxes in order to survive. It's not the amount of taxes that is causing Americans so much hardship, it's that it isn't a 100% sacrifice on all Americans.

I remember the day Pubs were pushing for a flat tax. It was when the Tea Party really began to get a following. Those ideas are long gone and the Tea Party is beginning to fall apart. I still think that in Business and Government...."KISS" is the real answer in fixing the many things that are wrong with our Country. By holding up legislation the GOP has helped fix some things in the last 3 years. Sure it stopped the Government Spending but it also has stopped a bunch of bad laws getting passed that have tons of pork in them.

The GOP could take advantage of that if they would clean all that up the next time they have power in the Executive and Legislative Branch. Since they have done no better than the Dems over the last Century Anericans have lost trust in both parties and now are involved in firing politicians as fast as they can find something wrong with them.

LOL Those brave freedom loving Texans..

When Anglo settlers were originally admitted to Mexican Texas, they were permitted to bring their black slaves from the Deep South with them. Indeed, had Mexican Texas been closed to slavery from the beginning, far fewer Southerners would have emigrated either because they could not bring their expensive property and manpower source with them or because of their political/racial views.

Over the years, Mexico took repeated steps to limit or abolish slavery in Texas. Each step prompted a vociferous reaction from Anglos followed by a Mexican retreat in which the threatening change was repealed. Given the amount of capital many Anglos had invested in black slaves, Mexico's mercurial actions with respect to slavery were at the very least threatening. There were those by 1836 who felt an independent Republic of Texas in which slavery was firmly and for all time recognized and respected was preferable to Mexico with an uncertain future for slavery. Two and one half decades later Texans still felt so strongly about black slavery and attached to it for both economic and social reasons that they would secede from the United States and wage a civil war rather than see the institution imperiled.

Sorry looser! YOU are the one who resorts to name calling, didn't YOU.
But, In my 29 year AF career, I worked with many pacifists.
They saw the military as a good temp job, got their educational benefits, and left.
Saw a few even get out when pushed to deploy to a war zone!

Look at McLame! The North Vietnamese took something....of the fight out of him too.
Makes you wonder what happened to Paul? Maybe he has some critical brain damage like Obama - from drug use.
Anyone who thinks that the U.S. can just hide under a rock IS AN IDIOT!
And you......?

I don't doubt the hold that Norquist has at all, but I also know he has an ego the size of Texas.
He is a singular issue individual to the detriment of sound government. Those that signed his
pledge are of the same ilk. Lobbyists are a fact of political life ( I state the obvious.). I don't
think they'll ever go away. While some are well intended, others are self serving. When a
retiring legislator finds ways around the one year cooling off period, their influence is greater
since they are "fresh". Congress won't police itself so a longer cooling off period won't ever
happen. Don't know the answer...it is REALLY frustrating.

Why, my dear Badger, yes I am. ;) Now, it is true that I switched my registration to Texas when living in Waco. I give you permission to hang me for treason....just vote for Ron Paul before you do it.

And't don't forget that Oklahoma does not = OU. ;)

So if you switched your registration to Texas, isn't the answer to Badgers ? "no I am not a registered Oklahoma Voter."

Are you committing election fraud SicEm?

You know what can happen if you are?

As far as I know there is no cross checking between states so you are left to be honorable. I surely hope that's the case if you ever want to run for Dog Catcher.

Sorry looser!
Get a brain moran!

YOU are the one who resorts to name calling, didn't YOU.
I admitted as much.

But, In my 29 year AF career, I worked with many pacifists.
They saw the military as a good temp job, got their educational benefits, and left.
Saw a few even get out when pushed to deploy to a war zone!
Great, how is this evidence that Ron Paul is a pacifist? He did go to a war zone, by the way.


Look at McLame! The North Vietnamese took something....of the fight out of him too.
You voted for the guy -- not me.

Makes you wonder what happened to Paul?
Nothing "happened" to Paul. Once again, he isn't a Pacifist. He doesn't believe in an interventionist foreign policy. I'm interested to know if you would have voted Republican back when non-interventionism was the official position.

Maybe he has some critical brain damage like Obama - from drug use.
I think you should stop trying to think.

Anyone who thinks that the U.S. can just hide under a rock IS AN IDIOT!
And you......?
Who is hiding under a rock? Paul believes in engaging diplomatically and economically with nations who have not attacked us or done us harm. He believes in fighting those who do. That is neither isolationism nor pacifism, but I know these buzz words have become popular. I also realize that most of the people who use them have never touched a dictionary.

Uh, I was registered to vote in Texas when I lived in Texas. I last lived in Texas in August of 2009. Go take your meds, you're having trouble keeping up.
