Texas mayor is exactly the hero Republicans are looking for in a life-threatening crisis
incorporates the
core Republican themes of
“rugged individualism” 
and the Reaganesque tradition of government distrust
into such a pure form, that it’s not hard to see them being s ched onto banners for the next assault on the Capitol.
“No one owes you or your family anything; nor is it the local governments responsibility to support you during trying times like this!
Sink or swim, it’s your choice! …
Only the strong will survive and the week will perish.”
Colorado City Mayor Tim Boyd. Actually, make that ex-Colorado City mayor, as according to
KTXS, Boyd
resigned from his position on Tuesday afternoon.
Boyd posted his stirring call to arms on Facebook Tuesday morning because he said he was “frustrated” that people would call their local city government about problems such as a lack of power or water. For those people, Boyd had a perfect answer.
“I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn hand out!
If you don’t have electricity you step up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe.
If you have no water you deal with out and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family.”
Boyd had a completely Fox News-worthy reason that people were so “lazy” and just sitting around being cold and thirsty.
“This is sadly a product of a socialist government
where they feed people to believe that the FEW work and others will become dependent for handouts.”
