Subject: Dallas, Texas
The City of Dallas, Texas, has passed an ordinance stating that if a driver is pulled over by law enforcement and is not able to provide proof of insurance, the car is towed. To retrieve the car after being impounded, they must show proof of insurance to have the car released. This has made it easy for the City of Dallasto remove uninsured cars. Shortly after the "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots began to fill up and were full after nine days. Over 80% of the impounded cars were driven by illegal's. Not only must they provide proof of insurance to have their car released, they have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and $20 for every day their car is kept in the lot. Accident rates have gone down 47%, and Dallas' solution gets uninsured drivers off the road without making them show proof of nationality.Wonder how the ACLU and the Justice Department will get around this one. Just brings tears to my eyes. GO DALLAS!

What? The government requires you to have insurance?
Commmmmmmmmmunism!
I'd really love to be smug about failing to stay on message, like Anon points out, but this story is fake.
What else is new?
They have to lie about their agenda in order to screw the rest of us. And so many fools enable them to do so.
Why can't the WASPs see that? They think that pissing off liberals (the actual good guys) is the only thing that matters. When are they going to finally figure it out?
What the rest of us figured out a century and a half ago.
Extremists have and will be with us forever. What needs to change is how big a voice they have. When enough Americans are hurt by extremist policies the previously' fat, dumb and happy' will start voting in favor of reasonable economic policies instead of voting for who loves Jesus more.
Actually, Thx 4 Fish, it's voting for whomever delivers the most repressive laws against women, kids, the elderly, the poor and, of course, minorities and illegals.
Paul Ryan is "deeply" anti-abortion, so that's all that Tea Baggers need to know. Works for them!! Yay.
The fact that Ryan's famous "budget" will actually drive the country deeper into debt is totally inconsequential to conservatives. Not to mention that Ryan wants to pretty much disband Medicare & Soc Sec, but I know many conservatives who've been so brainwashed by Rush & his ilk, that they are HAPPY to comply. They contributed to Medicare & Soc Sec most or all of their working lives, but in order to be *punitive* to poor people - and in order to force women to have kids - it's all A-OK with conservatives.
I thought that conservatives *hated* Obamacare because it "forces" them to buy health care insurance, plus blackity black black black Nobama is "making" them do that.
But here in this made-up story, some rightwing think tank shill is glorifying how "great" it is to BUY insurance. Only "illegal's" don't buy it, and they're horrible, as we all know well.
I haz confused... only not really. Typical rightwing bigotry on display pretty much signifying nothing other than to gin up conservatives to HATE the dirty messicans, as usual.
Got it.
