Not to be provocative, but Texas is turning into a nanny state. This is weird.

Yep. And that is one thing that Kinky Friedman claims to be running against. The wussification of Texas.

Dallas is a cesspool of liberal activism, on par with Berkley and San Francisco, if not ahead of them.

It's all about money, they just can't seem to grab enough money from whatever means. It's getting ridiculous, we have smoker patrols, toy gun patrols, and people getting stopped for going 1 mile over the speed limit.

They aren't worried about stopping ILLEGALS and REAL crime. They are only interested in stuffing their coffers.

Sad, but true. We still have "dry" cities and counties. A while ago, a woman was arrested for selling sex toys in an undercover sting. There are smoking bans popping up in several cities, and traffic cameras put up in many communities.

As if that wasn't bad enough, it seems like every time Dallas is mentioned in the news it's for something shameful-record high crime rates, pollution, low test scores, or police corruption.

Is there anywhere left in America where I can still live a free existence?
