Northern Virginia and Apocalypse Now

Well I read a funny quote from Joe McCain and I have to say I agree with him!

He said:
"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that, about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country..."

It is really tough living here in the northern virginia collective, a bastion of liberals. I am really tired of hearing people at near home and work discuss how the government should do more to help. Geez people, we shouldn’t depend on the government to be our nanny! What is great about America is that we have much opportunity and freedom. Even in these tough economic times, we can further ourselves by education and frugal living. You have more opportunity in America than anywhere else.

The northern virginia governments are spending far too much money on citizen services. They are involved with housing, medical services, and job programs. I say cut them all and let people pay for their own stuff. If they can’t, then move. I pay a lot in taxes and don’t get a lot of return. The roads suck and I don’t have children in the public education system. We have a sizable illegal immigrant population whose children are going to public schools and are also a drag on government expenses. Obviously, something in Virginia is not working.

So I was quite amused by Joe McCain’s quip. It was so unpolitically correct and refreshing! To be exact though, I recommend you reacharacterize them as Northern Virginia, Quasi-Socialists Conflicted Yuppies.
