We have a very illuminating situation here in Texas. The same people who scream about 'local control' IF it is local control to do something reactionary and hateful, but think cities must be under strict state control if they choose to do anything decent. This proves there is nothing even slightly consistent in Right Wing views. WE need principled conservatives. Todays Tea bagger's are n ot conservative. They are Far Right counter -revolutionaries. Godwin's law must be repealed when talking of these folks as the shoes fits way too well. Interfering in a cities ability to pass Progressive legislation but allowing regressive laws shows that the Right has absolute contempt for process. They are the 'any means necessary' party of today. The real is the effect of laws, not the procedure in making a law. If a law creates an anti-Earth, anti poor person, anti Human being outcome, it does not matter how the law gets passed. If a law helps create a sustainable, more fair, more decent outcome it is to be resisted. It is a case of "I see how you are".
