Sic’em Ted!

The problem isn’t so much the amount of her experience as the content of her experience.

[Vermont Lt]

This is going to sound like I am a teenager, but the thing I hate most about her (and I do not normally use the term “hate”) is her voice.

She speaks as if she is my tenth grade English teacher. She has that intonation that one has with a six year old. Every word out of her mouth sounds condescending.

[gogeo]

Oh, that’s her.

Big government versus small government? Small government, of course. But we like the security, stability and benefits that result from the collective energy of a government that provides services beyond the capacity of private enterprise. We like having police officers and firefighters, good schools and the most powerful military in the world. We like good highways, and we like being able to drink water out of any tap in the U.S. without having to worry about contracting cholera.

Yes, we like the security, stability, and benefits that come from government. Specifically, it's role in the national defense and enforcing contracts.
- But police and firefighters are a city/county level function. The only federal ones are MPs/military firefighters, and a few FBI/CIA "police". The FedGov shouldn't be involved in that role.
- Good schools? Private schools provide a much better education, at comparable/lower costs than many states spend on their public schools. Also, at best this could be considered a state-level issue, the FedGov again shouldn't be involved at all.
- Powerful military? Yes, one of the few things the Fed should do. But I really think we could have a much cheaper/better military by paring down the active duty and utilizing the Guard a lot more.
- Good highways? Again, mainly state-level. Get the Fed out of highway funding, and I bet the states would be a lot better on their own.
- Tap water? That's a city-level function (sometimes county). I don;t think the Feds really even are much involved nowadays anyway.

Elizabeth Warren v. Ted Cruz

Next up: The Ipecac Ribeye Face-Off!

[Taxman]

It is both!

[Theodore R.]

Coolidge considered himself a Vermonter and is buried in the community cemetery where he grew up. It is a touching little place.

[Vermont Lt]

I’ve been through Plymouth about a thousand times. It is a beautiful place.

This author is a dilusional fool! That said, a Cruz v Warren ticket would likely be the best thing that could happen to this Republic.

“We like having police officers...”

Do you? If so, then the left’s treatment of police officers leaves a lot to be desired.

“good schools”

Yet the left’s policies are making them worse and worse.

“and the most powerful military in the world.”

Then why on earth do your policies ALWAYS weaken the military?

“We like good highways,”

Then why are they continuing to “crumble” after almost constant harping about it?

“and we like being able to drink water out of any tap in the U.S. without having to worry about contracting cholera.”

Yet, the EPA tells us that everything is too dirty to consume!

You lefties (author) would be comical if you weren’t so dangerous.....
