What's Your New Year's Resolution?

Gov. Martin O'Malley is focusing on job creation. How about you?

Losing weight? Quitting smoking? Spurring job creation? 

If you're the governor, your New Year's resolution might lean toward the latter (see video), but in most cases some sort of self-betterment might be sufficient. 

So let's have it! What are your plans for 2012? Sound off in the comments section, or post a video reply using the link contribution link above.

My New Years resolution is to move out of this crime infested, overtaxed taxed, uber-liberal welfare state Martin O' Moron and the democratic nitwits in Annapolis have created.

Perhaps O' Moron would better have served the people of Maryland by not blowing the opportunity to have created thousands of aerospace jobs in Maryland that ultimately ended up in Virgina.

OweMalley sounds more and more like Owebama all the time. How dumb does he think we are? Everything he's done only over-taxed, over-regulated, over-burdened the small businesses in MD....just drive down any main drag to see the empty shops and even larger business locations that use to be thriving family companies. Who voted for him???? Not me.

Glad to hear that you're escaping the People's Republikkk of Maryland and land of Martin O'Moron. I am not far behind you. This is the most corrupt state I have ever lived in - from the cops to the judges to the politicians. People here are too dumbed down to see what the state government is doing to them. Maryland is nothing but a welfare state and I refuse to pay taxes for those who won't work and help themselves.

Remember the unofficial state motto here "If you can dream it we can tax it"

KIm, please accept this comment as my polite request to excuse yourself from further commentary. Many of your references to our President above border on racists. Your reference (any reference) to the "KKK" is offensive and painful to many members of the black community. Your ramblings are non-sensically scathing, providing no true value to these conversations. Though I don't doubt that you have used your significant amount of free time to do the same in many of the other states you claim to have lived in, it is not welcome here. Your name is not Kim Collington and that is not your picture. You are simply another namless, gutless troll spewing hateful, offensive and thoughtless words. It is counterproductive and most likely frustrating, disconcerting and disappointing to Emily and the others who take the time to produce this website. Part of the problem with our community, our state and our country today is the incessant flow of vitriol from a vocal minority, so incredibly at the extreme ends of the political spectrum that though comedically senseless, garners attention like a car accident or a "missing Florida mom" does. You are not solving this problem, you are adding to it. It is not constructive - it is destructive and I believe that I speak for the significant majority here in saying that we don't care what you have to say, laugh at what you say and are learning to ignore you. If Kim posts on Patch and no one listens, does she get her point across? No.

Request denied. The moniker People's Republikkk of MD is long running in MD due to the out of control democratic, over regulating, over spending, overtaxing democratic yahoos in Annapolis.

Yes my name is KC, no the picture is not of me, been explained ad nauseam. Stop your whining.

Uh Oh I don't like the Teletubbie-in-Chief so in your eyes I must be a racist. lmbo If you voted for Obama the first time because you're afraid you were going to be called racist, how will you avoid being called stupid if you vote for him again in 2012?

Well said Al. "Kim" has been spewing her hateful comments all over this Patch and others. She personally attacks people who comment by calling them pigs, fat, dumb blonds, etc. if you happen to post something she does not agree with. I can only wonder how that snotty little bully will responds to us. I'd like to note that I am irritated with myself that I feel so compelled to respond because I am only feeding into her thrill of berating people and desperate pleas for attention. That being said, I will sit and wait for her to rear her ugly head and know I brought this all on myself :).

Hateful? No thought provoking, insightful and direct truth. You're emotional rant is untrue. I have never called anyone a pig, did ask someone if they were blond, lol, never called anyone fat. Please tell me where else do I post as you have suggested? Please tell us.

So Christie I must call you untruthful and misguided.

You see Chrisite I use the facts to debate, you use name calling and untruths and post out of emotion, If someone does not think like you you wish to deny them the right to speak. Wait, what's that I hear "LIBERAL ALERT! LIBERAL ALERT!"

Oh boy you said I was a snotty bully and had an ugly head - isn't that the hate speech you seem to accuse me of?

Poor sp0t. Look up the definition of fascism. ie... tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control Precisely what the usurper of our Constitution, the Squanderer-in-Chief, is doing.

I've never posted on the Bel Air patch. lmbo What a paranoid, delusional, crackpot you are. Please direct me to posts I have supposedly made there.

Is that the best you can do attack my profile photo. As I said it's been explained ad nauseam You do know what that means?

This is a cross-post, so it is appearing on the Bel Air patch, therefore you are posting, and have posts on the Bel Air patch. Taking my sentence in context however you will note that I never said you were from the Bel Air patch, only that I was suspicious of others that post there.

Second, please read the entire definition of Fascism and note the numerous flaws in your argument (social conservatism, militaristic, anti-liberal, opposition to cultural and national diversity.. the list goes on), never mind the inaccuracies in calling Obama autocratic and dictatorial.

Finally, being suspicious about the validity of your profile is hardly an attack, but then again your responses on this post have been fairly extreme, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at your overreaction.

OMG I cross posted. Call a cop and issue me a ticket. Suspicions without direct knowledge or proof of some vast conspiracy existing in your mind is called paranoia. Obviously you become instantly paranoid of those who don't think as you do.

Sorry hon I cannot dumb myself down and think as you do or become simply a cog in the wheel, Quit hijacking the thread and stay on topic..

For clarification's sake, you didn't cross-post, Nick DiMarco did, and I don't see anyone here taking issue with that other than yourself.

Secondly being suspicious of trolls on a local news comment board, and being paranoid aren't exactly the same thing, but then again you are labeling a President who is Centrist at best, a Fascist, so one can only expect so much.

Lastly, you telling me I'm hijacking the thread is probably the funniest thing you've posted so far.. at this point I almost feel like I'm trolling you.

I'm sure my employer appreciates your concern, but they are aware of my internet use and have no problem with it. That's the Design world for you..

I would like to suggest you do some research into the actual legislation that the president has signed (sorry, Fox News doesn't count). In doing so you will find it hard to argue that his actions make him anything more liberal than a Centrist, and the opinions of soldiers, generals, doctors, or plumbers doesn't change this reality.

In order to return to topic I will applaud the boldness of your wish for 2012, although I fear you're probably going to be just as unhappy with the next four years.

I respond so quickly because I do care, and I have no problem admitting that. I care about the Perry Hall community and I like living here and without trying to over dramatize the situation, when people trash where I live, I get protective and try to fight off the enemy. So sorry, the score is still Pulvino 4, Collington 0. :). I also get a kick out of getting under your skin, so my rebuttals serve two purposes.

Mine however is more of a wish than a resolution. I wish for a military coup and that all left wing loonies follow this path:

It is so easy to lie about not caring that I am getting under your skin in text, but your fast responses actually show you do care AND that I have gotten under your skin. Like I said earlier, I do care, and have no problem admitting it. I know you will respond to this and promptly, because as history has shown us here on the Patch, you can't stand not getting the last insult in. And you know what?? I am going to let you get the last word in because, you know, I'm such a giver :) Peace out!!!

Frankly, can't find anything this person who seems to have offended so many said, that is much different that so many others who responded. When I was in high school many years ago I remember a survey passed around as to "who hates Robin Bean"...Ms. Bean being someone others were very jealous of I guess - and so gratuitously juvenile. Let's all hate him..let's all gang up, including sadly supposed journalists over an attitude we disapprove of. I might remind our "website cops" that the responses to this person were just as offensive as the comments by the offender, but I get it you're all wrapped up in your Robin Bean...
