Just IN: Pence takes aim at liberating Hoosiers from oppressive and cumbersome freedoms

And Its About Time Already

By: Candace Shaw

Presidential hopeful #MikePence 'winning'
this week as he liberates Hoosiers from their
First Amendment rights.


In a strong arm maneuver with the goal of further emancipating Hoosier voters of their thoughts, choices, and time, Governor Pence and his education reform minions in the State House Education Committee passed legislation that would remove Glenda Ritz as the duly elected Chairman of the State Board of Education in favor of granting control of the Board to one of his political appointees.

And thank goodness, because I was beginning to think that Governor Pence just wasn’t getting all of those letters I wrote about how un-American it is to be bothered with voting, that most of us backwoods rednecks just aren’t educated enough to choose leaders at the State level. After all, I did attend and matriculate from the Indiana public school system, the great failure that it is: what could I ever know about freedom, representative government, and education? 

From a strategic standpoint, it is a heck of a lot easier to move indiscriminately forward with the Koch, Bush, and Walton family’s education reform agenda without having even one person in power that might actually know a little bit about public education. Really – who wants to get in the way of egregious political pandering to well-moneyed interests of such contemporary geniuses as those that brought us all-day pay one price passes on a flying luge, Texas oil-men accents for New Englanders, and lead-based toys imported from China? America would be stuck in a cultural abyss if it weren’t for the likes of these elephantine children that were born with a silver-spoon in their mouth.

At the end of the day, we all know that those wily Founding Fathers must have been wearing their powdered wigs a little too tightly when they ascribed to archaic and misguided philosophies from the Age of Reason that advocate robust debate, freedom of speech, and an elected representative government. Now if we could just convince Pence to solve this liberal media problem, we all would be able to breath a little easier knowing that we don't have to worry our pretty little heads about the First Amendment anymore.

  1. The governors action to override the voters choice is punishable by a recall election. They did it to Scott Walker in Wisconsin, but didn't win the recall, but it let him know not to overstep his authority. Go get him.

  2. I shortened the url to this pdf from in.gov, but according to it, Indiana does not permit recall elections. They apparently feel they can do what they want. http://goo.gl/BCHdJw
