Liberals know best, and they'll tell you so.

If you could take a time machine back to, say, 1980 - or even 1990 - and sit down to talk with someone from that time about some of the societal changes that await them, what are the chances that someone might think you were under the influence of some sort of hallucinogen if you were to tell them that smoking cigarettes in bars would be illegal?

They do this in the UK - wonder how it's working/sarc
Every time this man opens his mouth, he proves himself to be an ignorant “inheritance-welfare” liberal. He knows as much about health as he does about guns. Of the minority of people who actually have hypertension, only a small minority (around 10%) of them have salt-sensitive hypertension.
Salt is good for you, we need salt. In the middle ages, salt deprivation was a slow, hideous method of execution.
No pity for New York voters, you elected this arrogant liberal.
