So move to LA or Baton Rouge. Not that hard to do since you do have wheels.

These are issues where the tea party can win at the local level, and build alliances that people wouldn’t expect, and the GOPe would never bother.

Our local community college has a wings trailer and a pizza trailer parked in two different locations during most of the mid day.

Another couple of roving Bar-B-Que trailers rove around the city and pop up in various Quick Stop parking lots.

I’ve eaten at all of them more than once and all serve pretty good chow.

Well he doesn’t seem to mind that he doesn’t have to pay state taxes…..he complains about paperwork that he has to do. I mean hundreds of junky food vendors are all over and the media found a disgruntled one and suddenly it is a huge story. Typical.

The article mentions the “Institute For Justice” this is a great organization that does a lot to defend personal freedom and property rights.

Tried to do the food trucks a couple of times. They were overpriced for what you get.

Dallas is very restrictive

Dallas needs a small nuke.

Fastest thing in Dallas county is Amon Carter on a bicycle, pedaling west, trying to get away.

Not that I don't love my neighbor, but a small nuke would help.

Naps means state income taxes, I think.

It's a northeastern liberal.

"Don’t try to convince the rulers that there rules are onerous just move somewhere that doesn’t suck that bad yet."

I don't agree. Thinking like that got us to where we are. How about fight back? In might not apply to the pols in Dallas but people - in general we are fighting communists. Vote. Organize. If that doesn't work then investigate and smear the bastards. They are cowards - intimidate them. Frighten them. Get loud be angry get violent. In other words use their own bloody tactics against them. A sizeable portion of the population votes for demonrats only because (like obutthole) they are so arrogantly sure of themselves. In contrast to the RINO's who are always sniveling and apologizing. Be bold - be like Reagan. Do whatever it takes.

That was my point. I was being sarcastic. He said they should just move.

Exactly.
There are so many opportunities at the local level to promote less regulation or less restrictive legislation (more flexibility).

But my experience with local tea party types is they want more regulation and more restrictive regulation, especially in the area of zoning.

Dallas is also anti First Amendment as hell. Hope their restrictions on protesters get creamed by the ACLU.

mobile vending

LOL! Reminds me of when I was stationed on the USCGC Gallatin, home port in Governor's Island (NYC) NY. When we were in port, the local "mobile vending" truck would come around to the docks about 7:30PM or so. The announcement over the loud speaker would blurt "the roach coach is on the approach!" LOL

Good Luck food truck alliance! Go get the b@$t@rds!
