Exponential Encouragement to Flee [Maryland]
A
strange convergence of events last week drew me to the inescapable conclusion
that there must be a willful conspiracy in the State of Maryland to actually
encourage the exodus of conservatives and patriots from the “free” state. I
wish this were an April Fool’s joke.
Sampling conversations and opinions, as is my hobby (I
call it “listening”), many people I respect are now seriously considering an
exodus to another state. Almost any other
state!
This
time my sense is that they are serious, based upon the totality of the
changes.
To
wit:
Maryland gun bans are surely being finalized, even as
the federal government’s version is decimated by more even-keeled positions,
plus a need for protecting certain vulnerable Democrat
lawmakers.
With
the added gun-discouraging baggage, insured by Annapolis
re-votes on amendments to legislation, forget owning any
handgun in your lifetime (and that assumes you can pass a proficiency test, yet
undefined). The symbolic AR-15 automatic
rifle is demonized even though there is not a single murder on record last year
with this sports-version rifle.
Volunteer patriots will not be able to
help watch over Maryland schools.
So, we
satisfy a publicity agenda for an ambitious governor, instead of having
political capital invested in economic improvements to the state, for
example.
It
would be nice if Maryland considered a revision to the “Free
State” slogan to be something like “Land of the
Left.”
And
wait…same week:
Maryland gas taxes are increased via
the force of Gov. Martin O’Malley during a time of personal bankruptcy, and high
food and gas Inflation, despite incredible
rates of medical bankruptcies and pervasive under-employment. This is strategy
is a staggeringly regressive sin!
The
obedient press repeated oft that “It’s the first gas tax increase in 20 years.”
Well, it was very high 20 years ago, has not been reduced since, and is headed
to $5 gallons in late 2013.
Frederick Countians are quite well aware that these tax
proceeds will not return to their communities. Instead of improving I-270, for
instance, they will no doubt be spent on Baltimore’s Metro, or in the insolvent
City of Baltimore itself, or by supporting light rail in Montgomery and Prince
George’s counties.
But
wait, there’s more…same week:
Maryland’s legal drivers license is now
cheapened to be one of only five states that offer
encouragement to Illegal immigrants to come drive here, regardless of legal
entry to our fair state. This second-tier document will allow the poor,
downtrodden law-breakers get to our free EMERGENCY Rooms, and
our free schools without fear of arrest.
That’s
only fair, right?
Maryland has, through its leadership and legislation,
allowed any value to citizenship to erode. So what if you are
competing against those that have not paid into the economic system, are willing
to work for less, and you lose your job to illegals that wish to send their
income back home.
That’s
only fair, according to those we continue to
elect.
Why do
Marylanders not support farmers struggling, unduly constrained by runoff
requirements, and developers stifled by density provisions, encroachment by
lawmakers into lavatories, as in septic provisions, is dirty Maryland
reality.
And now:
Conservative Maryland gun-respecting citizens,
concerned with leadership that favors illegals over economic development,
punishing business-friendliness with fees and hurdles, and discounting the value
of citizenship, is punishing the free with a tax-and-spend-take-and-decree
bureaucracy.
I am
tired of my patriotic friends being encouraged to leave the State of
Maryland.
They
are serious this time.
