This writer always finds the common sense view about various issues. And with humor, too.
One of her best points here is reminding us about how it's often the states that receive the most federal dollar support (aid) that make the most anti-government "noise"; that seem to have the most anti-tax fervor. (E.g., Texas, Alaska)
As she further notes in her article (emphasis added) :
"Also, have you noticed how places that pride themselves on being superpatriotic seem to have the most people who want to abandon the country entirely and set up shop on their own?
“What a great crowd,” Perry twittered, referring to the protesters he addressed in Austin, some of whom were waving American flags and yelling “Secede!” "
(Note: That would be Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, another Republican whack-job to be kept as far away from Washington as possible.)
And if only Molly Ivans were still around to skewer these "deep thinkers" from her own "backyard", in her own, unique way.
