North Dakota Democrats Pushing Another Waste Of Time, This One An Anti-War Resolution
Fresh of wasting what was undoubtedly thousands, if not tens of thousands, of North Dakota tax dollars trying to honor an aging, past-his-prime rock star (Bono from U2) who a) has never even been to North Dakota and b) would have been honored for encouraging the rest of us to pay more in taxes to help the disadvantaged while he himself hides his fortune in tax shelters in the Netherlands, North Dakota’s Democrats are looking to waste more of our time and tax dollars. This led by State Senator Tim Mathern who is pushing the anti-war resolution I posted about earlier.
This is just plain stupid, and it’s not just because I am a staunch supporter of the President’s middle eastern policy. This is stupid because, as I’ve already said, it’s a waste of time.
North Dakota’s legislature has absolutely no power America’s foreign policy. North Dakotan’s do not elect state legislators to concern themselves about foreign policy. We elect Presidents to do that, as well as – to a lesser extent – federal Representatives and Senators. If North Dakotans want to make their feelings about the war in Iraq known they can communicate their wishes – through votes, emails, phone calls, etc. – to the people they elected who actually have some power over the issue.
But like typical big-government liberals who let the power of their elected offices go to their heads to the point where they think they must have their fingers in everything, Mathern and his fellow Dems are going to try and push this resolution through anyway. Again wasting the legislative time, and thousands of tax dollars, of North Dakota citizens who – for the most part – voted for President Bush and his foreign policy. Twice.
I would suggest that all North Dakotans click here, find their legislators, and then tell them to butt out of matters that don’t concern the offices they were elected to. Tags: Asshats, North Dakota News, Politics, The Loony Left, War On Terror
