"Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn" -- Hank Williams, Jr.
While I'm busy killing electrons as the Birmingham Libertarian Examiner, my friend Jim Lesczynski is fulfilling the same role in New York. Despite the fact that Alabama still has a few dry counties and bans the sale of sex toys, we enjoy much more economic liberty than folks in New York. They haven't outlawed the Second Amendment around these parts, either. I'll bet Lesczynski will certainly find plenty to write about in the target-rich big-government environment of NYC.
Much like folks I've seen in Manhattan casually smoking a spliff while walking down the street, social prohibitions in Alabama are generally ignored by folks down here. I've not seen sex toy riots in Selma and it doesn't have to be closing time for our girls to look pretty.
"You know, Republicans aren’t all religious fundamentalists from Alabama; some of us are just normal, working-class Catholics from Queens," wrote Republican City Councilor Eric Ulrich at NY Mag.
"If justifying your participation in the Republican party by disparaging part of it’s core constituency – those types that 'cling to their God and guns' – is what’s ''normal,'' then, Mr. Ulrich, I'm glad I’m not normal," responds Alabama conservative blogger Suzanna Logan, who also appropriately refers to Ulrich as a douchebag.
Dan Collins notes that "New York’s latest round of tax raising is going to drive capital away from the city and the state."
Driving this point a bit harder, Robert Stacy McCain (who just returned from speaking at two Alabama Tax Day Tea Party events) observes that if "Eric Ulrich and the New York GOP were half as organized and energized as folks down in Alabama, maybe they wouldn't have lost that NY-20 seat."
One should note that Jimmy Carter just published his latest hit piece on the Second Amendment in theNew York Times, as opposed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution or Birmingham News. Perhaps it's because the audience is more receptive in the northeast. Speaking of the northeast, isn't that where the ultimate voice in northern conservatism, Arlen Specter, resides? The last time I checked, those two ladies from Maine live up north, too.
Perhaps because of our respect for the Bill of Rights, we ain't afraid to grab an elephant gun to do some RINO hunting in Alabama. Before the holier-than-thou types in Queens start criticizing the good folks down here, they might wish to take a look at their own fiscal house and Second Amendment rights.
