The following is from a National Center for Public Policy Research press release regarding Senator Allen’s support for a bill that would establish a “National Heritage Area” from Monticello to Gettysburg, thus restricting property rights over a vast area.
“Senator Allen often describes himself as a ‘Jeffersonian’ conservative, which he defines as someone who doesn’t like ‘nanny, meddling, restrictive, burdensome government,'” said Peyton Knight, director of environmental and regulatory affairs at the National Center. “However, if you fail to support your rhetoric with substance, you’re all hat and no cattle.”
I may be admitting my ignorance, but I have not heard the expression
“you’re all hat and no cattle” before. And that is terrible to admit
since I was born and raised in the West. Peyton must be from Texas.
