Update: For some maybe people’s voices are best expressed on their car windows. A while back I posted about being a conservative working in the environmental field. An office dominated by left-people is a very unusual place to work. Over the years, a number of us conservatives have found each other, but we keep it on the down low. Imagine my surprise when I saw this bumper sticker on a colleague’s car.
“an economic system of government which advocates state ownership of the means of production with equal distribution of goods among the people.”
Unfortunately for Minnesota, they are recently most known for having a former boa-wearing wrestler as a governor and a tax-evading, “comedy” writer as their newest senator. There is a bright spot withing the land of 10,000 lakes beside Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty and she is Representative Michele Bachmann.
Rep. Bachmann first appeared on my radar when she spoke out strongly about the 2010 census. The federal government has a constitutional authority to conduct a count of the number of citizens:

Alternative media said: “Our one problem is that this frog does not appear to listen to reason. I keep trying to feed it information, data and proof, but it doesn’t eat anything. I don’t know what else to give it.”
The mainstream media (“MSM”) showed their true stripes again during their coverage of the hundreds of Tea Parties held yesterday. When confronted with a true grass-roots effort to protest excessive taxation and what is turning into an ever intrusive federal government, the MSM fell back on their typical, tired playbook. They tried to diminish the efforts of the planners and attendees like the elitists they are.
Over the years, Anderson Cooper had seemed to be different, but we probably saw the real Cooper yesterday. During his coverage of the tea parties and in response to a statement from David Gergen about the Republicans needing to “find their voice,” Cooper made the smug, off-color statement:
