There are certain times we should infringe on your freedom. These words, or ones very much like them, are powerful words indeed. They have been spoken countless times throughout history by pharaohs, and kings, and emperors, and men with far too much power over the weak and defenseless.
And once spoken, they have shaped the blood-spattered history of mankind. They are the words of tyrants of dictators of slaveowners.
And always what followed was misery, and suffering, and then ultimately horror and death.
Most recently, these words came from the mouth of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has long made it clear that he is far more qualified to run your life than you are.
He made these comments while defending a host of draconian policy issues he has pursued; including bans on what you can eat and drink, whether you are worthy to defend yourself, and whether or not you can even choose to breastfeed your children.
His policies apparently spring forth from what seems to be a sincere belief that you are unfit, unqualified, and unworthy to make any decisions regarding your life and it is his sacred duty to take up the mantle as your king and warden whether you like it or not.
In fact, if you are a minority, he seems to believe that you are not even worthy to walk the streets without subjecting yourself to unconstitutional stop and frisk attacks on your rights and dignity.
And yet this man continues to hold office. No one in the media, or the courts, or the government seems shocked or dismayed by his words and deeds.
As Bloomberg embarks on a self-funded 12 million dollar ad campaign to push for civilian disarmament, remember this picture of life under the type of government that Bloomberg advocates.

When I think of the world that awaits us if we do not stop the Bloombergs of the world from taking away our freedoms in our own best interest, I am often reminded of the words of George Orwell from his prophetic, but slightly ahead of its time, novel 1984.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.
That will certainly be the case if we allow our elected officials to believe that There are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.
What an idiot bloomie is...
Bloomberg is awesome.
He’s so brilliant he DEFINITELY needs to run for President as an independent in 2016.
Go get em Mike!!
What is frightening is that he is a powerful, influential, and wealthy idiot. :( Those kind can do great harm.
There are things we are going to take away from you.” — Hillary Clinton
Both are cut from the same cloth.
Bloomberg - who is a fascist megalomaniac - did not introduce the Terry Stop to law enforcement.
A Terry Stop is constitutional and is a useful and legal enforcement tool.
The author needs to cool it with the lefty rhetoric.
Our government doesn’t have rights or give rights.
It has powers that are granted to it by the people.
Our rights are natural or God given & don’t come from the government.
He can do us great good, perhaps.
If he does a Ross Perot, we have a shot at a plurality win for POTUS.
Otherwise, I don't think we can beat Hillary.
You'll recognize it when it happens. For a couple of seconds.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
Drinking sodas and smoking cigars is less toxic than the actions of homosexualists.
Many people in NYC re-elected Nanny Bloomberg (RINO).
Lamp-posts aren't going to be enough. I'm for bringing back the guillotines.
Instead, he chose to abide by the law and step aside after two terms.
What did Bloomberg do after two terms as mayor? He switched parties from Republican to Independent, had the law changed, and ran for a third term.

There are certain times when the Tree of Liberty should be watered.
The word “*sshole” scarcely begins to describe this demented egomaniac.
Indeed, he offers all the symptoms of narcissistic psychopathology and should be in some clinic somewhere.
