Victory! Mostly….

The conservative victories all over the country after yesterday’s election are amazing. There were some unfortunate losses (Sharon Angle comes to mind), but, hey, the House was taken back. That’s big. We have a lot to be grateful for and Obama has a lot to think about. If he chooses to ignore this huge message, well, all I can do is quote that great philosopher, Antoine Dodson: “You are so dumb. You really dumb. FOR REAL!”

Not all was great though. In my state of California, not only did we keep Barbara “I worked hard for this title” Boxer in office, but they re-elected Jerry “I never had a plan” Brown as governor.

*sigh*

The people of California also passed some really stupid bills. We have now eliminated a 2/3 vote in the state legislature, making a majority vote enough to pass legislation, which is nice for the Democrats who are the majority. They can now run wild raising taxes and making our economy even worse than it already is (look at our uber high State unemployment rate, people!) by driving business away. They also passed a bill that will let Cap and Trade go into affect, despite our high unemployment rate. This means more taxes right when we don’t need them and even more driving away of businesses.

Yay!

Back to the bright side, though: The marijuana legalization bill did not pass. Thank you, Jesus. I am not trying to drive along side and work with people high on Marijuana. It’s bad enough with people who drink and drive, or worse people who don’t use common sense when they are completely sober. Plus, I heard a very good argument the other day: People make good money selling marijuana. If it were legalized, these people would most certainly turn around and start pushing harder drugs to make up for the good money they were making on weed. So yeah. No thanks on the legal marijuana.

Overall, I can’t complain too much. Things ARE going to change. I believe it. We the people are not joking.

As far as California goes, maybe I should just move to Texas after all…. LOL
