Peggy Noonan owes every Conservative an apology. She is one of the reasons the Obama Campaign was able to claim many ‘Obamacans’ and try to sway Conservatives with their fake moderation. It will take more than just the last few columns to convince us of your conversion back to Conservatism, Peggy!

The small people here in Panama City have their hands tied by the government. Tens of thousands of people volunteered to help with the cleanup, but we were threatened with jail if we try to pick up tar balls. Instead, we have people collecting 12 dollars an hour sitting around in tents drinking cokes and coffee.

Dozens of people with proven methods of cleaning up oil are being prevented from employing them by the Corp of Engineers or federal government.

Foreign governments have offered to help, but the President won't waive the Jones Act that would allow them into the gulf.

It seems like the government is doing everything in its power to make the situation worse.

I would organize a mass volunteer cleanup in defiance of the threatened jail time and make them arrest you for doing it.

That's what I was thinking. Do a Cloward-Piven and overload the jails. These bozos depend upon the public obeying ALL decrees and would fold like a deck of cards in a confrontation.

Think in Old West terms:

There was a reason why vigilantes were everywhere.

There was a reason why the sheriff called for all able bodied men to join the possee when going after bad guys.

Cleaning up those beaches is absolutely no different.

There fixed it.

I would also call the presstitutes so they can do a story on the massive volunteer effort to clean up the beaches. Let the JBTs decend then with cameras rolling...
