Americans for Prosperity will be rallying at Houston City Hall tomorrow denouncing the Mayor and city council for not enacting the TABOR that Houston voters approved two years ago.
While I was searching for more info on this, I was surprised to find a Democrat Republican City Council person from Keller, TX that was brave enough to denounce the TML’s outrageous characterization of taxpayers:
My goodness. Radical…ludicrous…misguided extremists—on a Jihad. These AFP people are dangerous, no? They want to subvert our republic or incite violent revolution?
Not quite—their “all-out attack on the hard-working volunteers” is nothing more than a call to make taxpayer-funded lobbying illegal in Texas. Thomas Jefferson—himself a radical, ludicrous, misguided extremist to some—said, “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
Good for him, we need more like him at every level of government. And if you can’t make the Houston meeting Wednesday, the tour will continue Thursday, 2/15 at Noon at the Doyle Center in Texas City. AFP and the Texas City Roll Back committee will co-sponsor this rally. If you are lucky, Galveston County’s official babewatch Tax Assessor-Collector Cheryl Johnson will be there.

Oopsie, CORRECTION TIME: See above and below from comments. Mr. Carson is a Republican. Damn. Now I’m exposed as a Chron copy editor. My bad. bj
For the record, I think Democrats are the greater evil and Republicans the lesser evil. If you’re going to label me, I prefer Reaganite.

A Conflict of Visions: Idealogical Origins of Political Struggles
by Thomas Sowell
With the use of the internet, certain groups don’t get to make outlandish statements and have them go unchallenged anymore. The free flow of information has already ended some liberal media outlets. People who want to, can check things out for themselves and don’t have to believe the Dan Rather’s of this world for biased, opinionated news. So now people know the “Tax Revolution” has started and will not be hidden from us by the liberal media.
“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
Boy oh Boy Thomas Jefferson knew his stuff.
What I said over at the councilman’s website:
“I don’t care who you are, there is something wrong with the idea of city governments lobbying Austin for more taxpayer dollars, against the interest of Joe Sixpack who pays the taxes.
Real local control would mean that less tax revenue flows into Austin, and the cities would have more direct control over tax revenues collected in that city.
But then, the local politicians would have to become more directly accountable to their constituents. Can’t have that, can we?”
Do we know a good vendor for pitchforks and torches?
Thanks for the nice words about me, but I’ve got to know: what did I say to make you think I’m a Democrat?
For the record, I think Democrats are the greater evil and Republicans the lesser evil. If you’re going to label me, I prefer Reaganite.

Oops, please accept my apology.
What do you think Paul Bettencourt would look like if he put a glamour shot of himself on his website?
Surely not as good as Cheryl Johnson.
I wonder where we can get a good price on tar and feathers
I’ll bet if Quanell Ten were to show up with his army of thugs, I mean bodyguards, nobody would dare say anything. But have some “Tax Revolutionists” show up in army fatigues and the liberal media will be all over it. It’s nice to see the “double standard” is alive and well.
