I had a golf buddy in Arizona who was stationed at the Naval Annex in Boston. I asked him one day why folks there were so liberal. He said they didn't know any different. It was in their genes. They were raised to vote democRAT. They have elected, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barney Frank, Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren. More left-wing nut cases than any other state I can think of.

How a state that started out rebelling against the British crown with the Boston Tea Party could have come full circle, where they now are as oppressive as what they originally rebelled from, is beyond my pay grade and comprehension.

Westward expansion... as soon as government got big enough to really get on people’s nerves with all the litigation they would pack up and move overhill...leaving the government and its minions behind them. But then once they settled in and things were nicer and tamer, the nannystaters and government followed. And then got annoying....starting it all over again.

And then there is the land grant thing- the government paid soldiers with land so the veterans moved ever westward, leaving the wimpier folks behind.

It is a wonder to me that people can’t see this, or refuse to see this.
