Dear Tea Party,
2,000 participants do not make a national party, at best it's a Doobie Brothers concert at the state fair. And where were all of your demands for "fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets" prior to the election of our first Black president?
I, as a raging liberal, support your cause for fiscal responsibility. So let's focus on cutting foreign expenditures first, i.e. terminate the wars in the Middle East and substantially scale back subsidies for foreign nations? And if you are really concerned about our children, let's eliminate farm subsidies and scale back medicare and social security.
Can I have a Hallelujah for limited government! Again scale back the military and let's have an honest discussion about the borders with Canada and Mexico. All of this spending by DHS and the Merida Initiative are just new forms of government waste similar to the $300 hammer during the Cold War. Commit funds on a much smaller scale to preventive addiction programs. Cut the demand, which is the problem; the supply is a consequence of the demand. Also, such programs will create good paying jobs for Americans. Expanding public school programs and public program funding is a much more effective means of reducing crime and eliminating the demand for illegal drugs. This will reduce the artificial demand for more prisons and border security.
The free market. Everyone prefers high paying jobs and inexpensive products. Why not reward companies whose employees are 80% American citizens with maximum tax credits? Companies that do not have the overwhelming majority of their employees in the United States should pay a higher tax. And help other nations maintain a consistent and clear tax system with the foreign companies that operate there, i.e. Mexico.

Some great ideas in this last post. The last three posts have been informative.
Thanks-Jason,
The legislature is now discussing its ability to seize federal property. Arizona State Legislature
And protecting funding for private schools.
Arizona Private School Funding
Is there a point where people will just abandon the ship, or is the feeling that it can be saved from these folks? Is the Pima County secession from Arizona movement the only real alternative?
I don't know how much more sane Pima county is than up here. There is just too much misinformation and a lot of money funding the extreme right here.

Well, when I saw the Cyber Hacienda had become a Presidio I assumed you were headed to war. I have friends in AZ in the nut-case crowd and they are serious about leaving the US and thinking Arizona can be a real country on its own.
BTW, I assume that if you want your Presidio to be a success you are also going to install a Cyber Mission? (booo ... bad history joke)
LOL...You kill me. As a lapsed Catholic, I do feel guilty that I do not have a Cyber Mission. But not guilty enough to actually go to mass.
But, you are correct, the current era dictates more aggressive blogging and maybe more regular attendance at the protests in front of the state capital.
Secession is not an option. United We Stand...at all costs.
