I’m sorry I was out of state when the shindig happened, I really would have liked to have attended. Yes Michael Williams is definitely on fire. I have high hopes for him in the coming years.

Now, before all of you think that ALL of Texas is like that, I must point out that this was AUSTIN Texas, which is probably THE most liberal place IN Texas. Even more than the inner loop of Houston. Houston inner loop is an island of blue in a sea of red.

I live in Oklahoma, which is culturally very similar to Texas, except better at football.

I’ve often wondered why more of the coastal conservatives don’t move out here. I listen to them complain about being surrounded by liberals, and I never can quite relate to that, because I’m not, nor have I ever been, surrounded by more liberals than conservatives in my social or work life.

When the money is given to the government, not only are people deprived of economic choices, but more rules are imposed by the very ones taxpayers are giving their money, too. Nice, huh? Kinda like paying your mom and dad to restrict your curfew.

Which is why (like my sociopath brother), you join The Party and become an Activist; the more you rise in The Party as a Good Little Party Member (i.e. the brown-nose-and-backstab two-step), the more access you have to all that proles’ money. And the more you can boss them around with Your Concern and Compassion (TM).

Excellent observations. Wish I had attended. I wonder if our nation has gone too far down the socialist road to be saved. Reading your post and others from the AFP leads me to the conclusion that’s it’s late, but not too late. However, it is going to take something even bigger than 9/11 to galvanize American opinion behind the need for a new Constitutional Convention. Maybe that’s the new movement we can get behind: “Declaration of Independence 2.0.”

BTW, getting used to the new site. I like it more each time I visit.
