Bullied by Big Government

"After sad reports that a lost mountain lion was shot near the Santa Monica Promenade this morning to protect public safety, it was welcomed news that the California Senate passed an animal-protection bill that would ban bear and bobcat bullying." From LA List, May 22, 2012

As if bears and bobcats had to worry about being picked on!

So, who has been trying to take Winnie the Pooh's lunch money? Who has been taunting the local mountain lions with felonious -- or rather, felinious -- epithets like "Big Ears", or "Hill-Billy Kitty"?

If there is one bully that needs to be disciplined, it is Big Government, and overwhelming brute of a force which feels justified in telling people what to eat, where to work, and how much businesses must contribute in order to subsidize everyone else, including state employees.

Senator Lieu, when will you stand up to the bully of Big Government? The voters in your district and the state are tired of getting picked on. We are tired of our leaders looking the other  way while massive debt and annual budget deficits erode consumer confidence in the Golden state while downgrading our bond-rating to the point where no one will want to invest in this state.

Cats, dogs, and bears are naturally skilled to defend themselves. You are supposed to be helping us make the most of our freedom in this wonderful state. Stand up to Big Government, draw the line against the overbearing brute that takes, spends, then leaves us to fend for ourselves and deal with the consequences.
