No one is going to take away your car or stop you from driving on weekends or any other time. It would destroy our economy for starters. Even the German greenies said it was a stupid idea.

That AT did not mention the greenies and politicians said it was stupid and would never happen tell you all you need to know about AT.

RW Misinformation and scaremongery at it's  finest.

Just because there won't be an overt ban doesn't mean those who hold those views won't push regulatory and tax policy in that direction.  So even if it doesn't accomplish that specific goal, it can still cause economic damage and reduce the ability of ordinary people to afford/use their cars.

That's how the left does it.  The activists push hard for something extreme and bitch when they only get half.  And in the meantime, our lives have been degraded by their actions.   Even if Xeno's paradox says we never quite get there, the damage and impact can still be massive, especially when you look at the aggregate impact across a broad swathe of issues.

In all reality, LBJs great society was like going to an AA meeting and offering all you can drink free beer.

The choice to sign up was on those who did, and remains with those who continue to do so.

Unfortunately, the society that has been created demands conformity to its lack of values and makes it more difficult to really improve and become free of the Government issued miasma that has fallen over so many. Whites are affected, too, as are others who opt in, and the effects are quite similar. Dependency, crime, poverty sponsored by the state.

There is always a choice, and there are plenty of folks who will give those looking to better themselves a chance. The rest is up to the individual. Do they have the inner strength to overcome their situation? Will they take the chances with being ostracized and make their own, personal progress from the projects to prosperity?

 

At summer house, so am missing the fireworks.  How's it looking?

Texas Scorecard by  Brandon Waltens   | May 20, 2024

Incumbents campaigning against colleagues has been a forbidden practice. Now it’s a three-day tour.

There’s been an unwritten rule in the Texas House for a long time: incumbent members should never campaign against other incumbents.

Known by some as the “Incumbent Protection Program,” the “tradition” was so pervasive a few years ago, that the Texas House Republican Caucus actually enshrined the prohibition in their rules and has threatened to censure members who dare to violate it.

And so when I say it is remarkable that a group of incumbent and incoming legislators hit the road for three days to travel 1,000 miles around the state exposing their colleagues for cozying up to liberal leadership and killing conservative priorities, I mean it.

This is far from business as usual. This hasn’t been done before.

The Silver Bullet Tour, hosted by Gun Owners of America, started last Wednesday in Burleson with a campaign rally for Helen Kerwin, who is challenging State Rep. DeWayne Burns.

It wound through the metroplex, making stops for David Lowe (who is challenging State Rep. Stephanie Klick), Andy Hopper (who is challenging State Rep. Lynn Stucky), and Katrina Pierson (who is challenging State Rep. Justin Holland).

It wasn’t all smooth sailing.

The group encountered a torrential storm as they traveled to Beaumont.

But despite the weather and the long distances, the coalition trekked on, taking major shots as they told voters the record of the incumbents.

At a stop in Denton for Andy Hopper, State Rep. Brian Harrison rebuked the notion that those members seeking to pass the legislative priorities of the Republican Party of Texas were extreme.

“The only extremism in the Texas House comes from our liberal drunk Speaker Dade Phelan,” Harrison told the crowd at Robson Ranch to raucous applause.

Incumbents ignoring the grassroots was a common theme among all who joined the tour.
