“That’s not satire, that’s an attempt at persuasive writing.”

He is correct in pointing out the effectiveness of incremntalism, we've been witnessing it for how many years now?

As I have posted before, zer0 is the climax of a forty+ year wet dream to turn The US into a socialist/marxist/communist Country.

He is indeed their "messiah"

I'm all for Liberty but I'd sacrifice some rights for a tough love leader and a law against Big Gulps.

How about I'm all for Liberty but let's have a law against drinking wine.

Or a law against apartments - everyone has to live in a suburb with streets named "Merry Weather Circle"?

Or better yet - a law against being too thin - newer studies show people who are mildly overwieght live longer. Put some french fries back in those school lunches...

WOW, just WOW.

I wonder if it okay with them if I don’t want a freaking dictator in my life?

I don’t think it’s satire either.

>>greatest good on earth is to be healthy

WE have drastically altered the fabric of our society by having elevated health to the Ultimate Purpose of Life, put it on a pedestal and prostrate and kowtow to it.

Nothing escapes the overriding bailiwick of Health. Every human activity. And as we see, many in America would agree with this schmucky putz!

I would doubt there’s one in 10,000 Okies who would agree with this, and quite possibly 99 out of a 100 would agree with it here in Obamastan, perhaps fewer I would hope.

But show it around, many here in Obamastan view Westerners and Southerners as a more alien breed than burka clad beauties!

People need to know what is in the minds of our opinionati particularly with the level of their influence in this administration and the general agreement prevalent about these pending restrictions on liberty.

You simply haven’t come to your senses by accepting the blanketing benevolency of the new private public partnership, like in China.

You may require a stint in a restored sanitarium system, or one in special classes to enlighten your misguided archaic thinking.

You are sooooo right, I am a miscrete of sorts, I am in need of some very series re-education. But I have a fear of crowded places so I keep a loaded 12ga by my bed just in case someone decides it is my time for re-education. Don’t get me wrong, I could use the time off, and free food and travel. But I am afraid after they come to understand I can not be re-educated it would be the ole woods and a shot in the head for me. I figure I’ll just take a few with me at the get go.
