…they
try to pull me back in.
While I occasionally get nibbles to come out of hibernation and back into politics, it's the garbage from government itself that tempts me the most to get back into the fray.
So far, it’s not working.
I firmly believe my days in organized politics are over. I'm a small government guy with conservative leanings. My kind is an endangered species.
But occasionally I see something on social media and I can’t hold back:

Government
is encroaching on every aspect of our lives. You pretty much can’t do a damned

is looking for ways to tax it.
Kids can’t even run lemonade stands in some places without permission from some peon in government.

starting to think more like my radical little brother: When will government realize that all most people
want is to be left the hell alone? (He used another word for hell, but I retain
a small bit of class. Not much. Just a smidge.)

Be good
to each other. So far there is no tax on that.

My motto is be good to each other. In that spirit, keep it clean on the comments. Personal attacks, nasty language, and any disdain of chicken wings will not be tolerated.
