I have been traveling this past week and with the primaries and the news from different states it is getting very interesting. In UP state New York I saw several sign and bumper stickers that simply said Carl I'm mad as He11 too. If you follow some of the smaller stories you begin to see a pattern developing. After you read a few of these you see that they involve bigger and bigger government, more government control over you daily life. Several years ago the government stepped in to ban Smoking in public buildings. Most people said good idea. now smoking is banned in almost every building, in some states in you car and now NYC wants to ban smoking in parks and other public land. Along with the smoking ban cities and states have banned trans fats, salt, sunny side up eggs, Big Mac, Governments are having money problems. the answer cut services Minneapolis cuts 50 police and fire but keeps the guy who job it is to measure the grass to see when it needs to be cut. NYC has budget problems - answer lay off 500 police and hire 1000 meter maids because they will generate more revenue. West Virgina needs money so they are looking a taxing convenience. If you use the drive up window you will pay more in a special tax. Revenue is down so states are using police to trap more speeders and more check points are set up to catch drunk drivers. More revenue for the states. Reported crime is down but is it down or just the police don't have time to investigate so no record of a crime. have you ever seen a headline where the governor cuts staff, or congress lays off aids. People are losing their homes so the government bails them out, 6 mons later the same people are looking for mortgage relief. The guy next store is cutting back and paying more for everything so the government can pay his neighbor's mortgage. You stand in line with you ground beef counting out the change to see if you have enough to pay for it and still get gas to get to work to collect your pay check when the person in front of you is buying steak, national brand food and complain because she has to pay for her smokes as she swipes her food stamps card. Establishment politicians and entrenched bureaucrats over paid government workers listen to the working people of this country. "CARL I'M MAD AS HE11 TOO" Carl ran against the establishment candidate in NY for the Republican nomination to run for governor.

Not only did Carl run... he also won against the establishment republican. People are fed up with the damage being done by the by both parties in congress, and that is why he TEA PARTY exists... and it is made up of people from all parties and walks of life who are incensed at the things government has done to America and are determined to make a change for the better and to bring America back to it's fundamentals that made this nation great. It is time to end the tyranny.

It is so encouraging to see how many people still cherish the American values and are willing to speak up. It is also amazing to see 'the people' oust some of these RINO incumbents out on their ear. Tends to wake people up!
