A Jeffersonian In East Texas

I believe:

• That anyone who wants to be in power should never be allowed to be in power.

• That what 2 or 12 people do in the privacy of their own bedroom, should not be legislated.

• That all one needs to do to find the source of bad policy, is to follow the money trail.

• That alcohol is legal, and marijuana is not, because of the money.

• That the proper employment of the Federal government, is to regulate interstate commerce, and nothing else.

• That prisons are criminal colleges.

• That firearms are our ” Liberty Teeth”. Quoted from George Washington.

• That so many laws have been made, that your grandmother is now a criminal.

• That “gridlock” is good. If our representatives are busy squabbling, they can’t make new stupid laws.

• That taxing production is stupid and counter productive.

• That we need the labor and the initiative that immigrants provide.

• That we are almost all immigrants.

• That Jimmy Carter is a truly great humanitarian, and a great human being, but was a lousy president.

• That men tend toward evil, and need to be governed.

• That men tend toward evil, and can’t be trusted to govern.

• That the two statements above are why our founding Fathers decided on the “Rule of Law”.

• That we don’t need more jail space, we need to stop arresting people who don’t belong there.

• That mothers should be against more things than just drunk drivers.

• That MADD members, should stop using their cell phones while driving, so that they can stop running me into the ditch.

• That people who drive SUV’s should be able to handle them, even in parking lots.

• That anyone should have the right to own an SUV.

• That anyone driving an SUV, should be able to see over the dashboard.

• That we need categories other than DWI, like DWP (driving while phoning), and DWAM, (driving while applying makeup.)

• That a check of statistics will very quickly reveal the truth of that last statement.
• That if something is not done about those issues, the state of Texas should apologize to, and reimburse everyone ever convicted of DWI!
