802 provides simile for loss of Electoral College
If anyone is looking for an example of how presidential elections might look if we lose the Electoral College check out the S.Q. 802 results.
Only seven of the 77 counties voted in favor of the Constitutional question which passed statewide by a one-half percent margin.
But the entire state will have to pay the new taxes the measure will force.
Oklahoma, Tulsa, Cleveland, Payne and Comanche counties (the states most populous) voted for the measure.
What does it do?
It expands Medicaid coverage to able-bodied, working-age, childless adults – that final piece of the Nancy Pelosi’s Obamacare plan.
As Jonathan Small, president of Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, points out the state tab for that expansion could run up to $374 million extra each year, and that added cost comes even as lawmakers are expected to face a $1 billion shortfall in 2021.
Mail-in Voting Exposed, Too
If you favor mail-in voting being pushed by the Left this year, you will be excited to know that 80 percent of the absentee ballots were in favor of S.Q. 802, enough to pass it.
Small also pointed out :
“This financial challenge was created in part by California labor unions that supported S.Q. 802. ... (Notably, the pro-S.Q. 802 campaign broke state laws/regulations by refusing to file mandatory spending reports.)”
A multiple-choice test
I always liked multiple-choice tests in school.
The reason, of course, was that multiple-choice tests gave the taker enough clues to weed out wrong answers so that even a lackadaisical student could pass.
With this in mind we have devised a multiple-choice test for rioters.You can take the test right here and no one will know the difference.
Note: If you don’t score even one right answer you can still be a rioter-looter.
The test:
1. What is a terrorist? (Pick one)
a. ( ) Someone who thinks life isn’t fair and it’s someone else’s fault.
b. ( ) Someone who destroys Confederate statues – or Union – statues.
c. ( ) Someone who brings free gifts to children at Christmastime.
(Two of the above are right. Guess which two.)
2. Who was Hans Christian Heg? (Pick one)
a. ( ) A confederate officer who killed a lot of people.
b. ( ) Founder of the KKK.
c. ( ) A Union army officer opposed to slavery whose statue at Madison, Wisconsin, was destroyed by rioters.
3. Who was George Washington?
a. ( ) Some old guy nobody cares about now.
b. ( ) A radical white plantation owner who once owned slaves.
c. ( ) The Father of our Country who fought a four-year war to create the freest, fairest nation in history.
4. Who was Abraham Lincoln?
a. ( ) Umm. Wasn’t he a military guy?
b . ( ) Someone who talked about liberty, equality and dedication without doing anything about it.
c. ( ) The 16th president of the United States who led the nation during the Civil War. The president who gave the “Gettysburg Address” which goes like this:
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
“Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
5. Describe a spoiled brat? (Pick one)
a. ( ) A kid who learned to work early and even earned a usable degree from a college.

a. ( ) To tear down.
b. ( ) To practice our spray-paint art on.
c. ( ) To remind us of outstanding individuals who contributed significantly to creating the greatest, freest country in the world.
7. Describe a happy person. (Pick one)
a. ( ) Anyone who has a stretch limousine.
b. ( ) Drug dealers who get rich selling their junk to people like me.
c. ( ) People who have found a purpose to life and go about fulfilling it day by day, as Austrian psychiatrist-author and Auschwitz survivor Viktor Frankl might say. He also pointed out there are two kinds of people – the decent and indecent – and they are found in all classes.
8. Why do we have colleges and universities?
a. ( ) To teach young minds that America was always a racist society.
b. ( ) To learn Rules for Radicals and beginning rioting techniques and become loud-mouth, self-serving bullies.
