Yup, these are some of the wonderful ideas conservatives are pushing to make this country a better place. Read it and weep for our nation:

1.) In Montana, state Rep. Steve Lavin (R) introduced a bill that would allow corporations to vote in local elections.

2.) In Missouri, state Rep. Mike Leara (R) believes even proposing gun control should be illegal.

3.) The full state Senate in Oklahoma will take up a measure to allow companies to strip birth control and abortion coverage from employer healthcare plans under a bill that unanimously cleared the committee level last week.

4.) The chairman (John Goedde (R)) of the education committee in Idaho’s Senate introduced a bill earlier this month that would make students read — and pass a test — on “Atlas Shrugged” as a requirement for a high school diploma.

5.) In Oklahoma, go right ahead and argue that humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time. On a 9-8 vote last week, the Oklahoma Common Education committee approved the so-called Scientific Education and Academic Freedom Act.

If the bill becomes law, it would make it illegal for biology teachers to fail students who write papers against evolution, climate change and other theories with near 100 percent approval in the scientific community.

These are all state-level issues. If they screw up their state, they have to deal with it. When liberals screw up the country, we all suffer.

Less government is better government. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.

Much like when the Republicans got us into two wars by lying to Congress to get their support?

I prefer efficient government over worrying about the size of a government. Would you want a small government that was wildly corrupt and let mob violence run rampant in the country?
