Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

That only works with those who might have a conscience. It could be argued that time has passed.

Can’t I just take all that botulism and stick it in my wrinkles?

Shush. They’ll figure out a way to tax it or jack up the price of the rancid sandwich because it’s “multipurpose”.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday he’s cracking down on the caloric content of vending machines in city buildings and plans to replace them all with healthy vending by next year.

So what happens to all that “healthy” food when no one buys it?

Martin Niemöller addressed that attitude some time ago.

Because these libs never go after real crime. All that is left to prosecute are innocent people and meaningless things.

Hmm, I think someone addressed that before:

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against . . . We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it.

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

Look at how outrageous tobacco taxes are, but since most don’t smoke the attitude is, “Well, it’s bad for you-you shouldn’t smoke anyway” or “I don’t smoke so I don’t care.”

I don’t buy crap from vending machines, or Big Gulps (or anything else from convenience stores)so I don’t care.

If/when they go through with high beer taxes, I won’t care again.

And the soda-dispenser arguments are on their way to the vending machine.

And the Liberal Head is up the Liberal A$$.

Apparently the only choice worth fighting for is for an abortion in these people’s “minds”.

This is the kind of thing a government run by liberals does to make you think they’re actually performing some useful function with all your tax dollars. It’s like when you’re goofing off at work by re-arranging your filing cabinet.

Is Rahm still breaking the law? It was just a mistake, right? You didn’t hear nothin’.

Maybe they should crack down on all the gang murders instead?

If they didn’t eat so much sugar…

Hmmmm. Sounds like you’re peddling the real goods. I’ll bet you’be got some dandy sources.

It is just NATURE… It is hard to fight NATURE no matter how liberals wish otherwise…
