Brave New World
Once upon a time, in the heartland of Liberal North America, the government attempted to tax the citizens for the most popular afternoon beverage of it's day...tea. We all know from the history books what happened. Arguably, that was the start of the American Revolution.
Fast forward 234 years and change venues to the most democrat-run city in America...Pittsburgh, PA. The democrat party prides itself on being liberal, the voice of the people. No one in Pittsburgh citywide government has been anything other than a democrat for over 75 years! The county is also mostly controlled by the democrats due to their overwhelming majority within the city. So, what did these fine public officials do? They decided to levy a tax on the most popular afternoon beverage of our day...beer! Pumping an Iron has been a Pittsburgh pasttime for decades. And, faced with such an affront on their liberty, what did the democrat citizens of Pittsburgh do? With few exceptions, they have praised Dan Onorato (D), the County Commissioner, and have even suggested that he would make a fine governor of the state based upon his decisive action!
Moving on to the heartland of the USA, we get to the Iowa caucuses. We have the winners: the preacher who attacks his opponents and the inexperienced ex-drug user who doesn't need to salute the flag, with the shyster malpractice attorney close behind. Are we really that desperate, America? Let the preacher go back to saving souls, the inexperienced Obama earn his stripes, and the malpractice attorney go back to channeling the dead souls of babies as he sues doctors for unstoppable acts of nature.
Yeah, that's how I really feel.
