[New Post] Welcome to the United Socialist-Nanny States of America (USNSA) - via @twitoaster http://www.mikesouth.com/politics/welcom...
i'll keep an eye out for bukkake legislations so I can remember not to mail any packages that day....lol!
Last I checked, baking anything at home isn't regulated by the FDA or the Democratic-run administration. I've seen examples where the government in the U.K or some European countries have moved children out of the parents' custody for being too fat, but I've never seen a police officer bust into someone's kitchen demanding that the mother of the household cease in baking her specialty peanut butter cookies.
Somehow you've managed to lump Democrats into being the lead cause of a 'nanny state' when it's only been two years since W's 8 year administration, during which the Patriot Act was enacted, the FCC took a hard stance on a nipple on TV and the downfall of the US economy. I criticize mistakes wherever they fall in the political spectrum, and the fact that you decided to put emphasis on 'Hussein' and connect that with 'government control over school lunches' and porn, it became an appeal towards emotion and circumstance than any real reasoning.
I realize you're a reasonable person and that you have plenty to say on this blog, but like in so many cases when it comes to stirring up emotion, negative sentiment towards the current government and issues you hold dear, please try to present a more coherent and factual argument instead of slinging accusations and creating stories that attempt to get people riled up. Simply put, we get enough of this bullshit from Limbaugh and Beck.
There is so much I could say but its not worth it.lol I hope your doing well lindsey.
It's so sad that people focus on the Obama comments...I knew Tony would complain...did you not read "Now...I know I mentioned President Obama and the Dems specifically....(but jeez they are such EASY targets nowadays), but seriously, there is enough blame, hypocrisy, stupidity, and greed to go around on both sides of the aisle."? I was trying to interject a little HUMOR...but I guess there are too many overly sensitive lefties out there. Nevertheless...you are correct...Big Brother isn't (yet) breaking into kitchens around America attempting to thwart cookie baking. However, in the city of New York, they are saying that YOU cannot send your child to school with junk food...but the SCHOOL can SELL the junk food to them..it's a FACT. BTW...Obama signed another year extension of the Patriot Act YESTERDAY....oh and btw...has he closed Gitmo yet...or ended rendition...or decided on the "civil trials vs. military tribunals" issue yet? Again...I'm not making this issue about Obama...it was a JOKE....but Obama is now seeing that sitting on the other side of the Oval Office desk is a teenie bit different than the view he had when he merely WANTED the job. Sorry but it's Obama's government, budget, deficits, wars and economy now. Besides...this isn't about Obama...the nanny-state mentality is something that has been running rampant in this country long before anyone ever heard of Barrack Obama (I just think the middle name "Hussein" is funny and ironic...do you not?). Culminating with LBJ's "Great Society", America has been on a downslide for decades, losing our sense of self-reliance and picking ourselves up by the bootstraps, or in my case, the garter belts, and building the kind of life you want for you and your family. Instead we now see an over-bearing sense of entitlement that I blame on the "cradle-to-grave" ideology that government is supposed to provide for you from birth until death.
See thats where you are so wrong, I got pushed off a major liberal website because they thought I was a right wing plant. Sorry Im not a sheep on either side. lol I think for myself not quoting anyones talking points. Say hello to your hubby for me and tell him I have lost now 141 lbs.
sure miss the good ole days when slavery was legal in our country. so much easier to get sh*t done....hahahaha
"When you're born, you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you get a front-row seat." - G.C.
..so true
I fail to see where there's an argument here. All of you are basically saying the same thing in different ways, though maybe with slightly different preferred targets. Lindsey (hiya Sexy, miss you) clearly shares the blame between the holier-than-thou, corporate-friendly, "we're watching you for your own safety" conservatives with the tree-hugging, whale-loving, "let's tax the poor folks who can't afford a new energy efficient car because the sun's too bright today" liberals. My opinion... they're all at fault and should be sent home to get real jobs. If they have an "I" by their name, vote for the other guy.
Tony, I know the feeling. I'm too liberal for the right, and too conservative for the left. I'm just sick of it all. The federal government needs to get out of private industries, the healthcare system, the state's school systems, various other state's rights issues (including gun control), and above all, get the fuck out of our personal lives.
