Where is it written that a mayor has the power to tell people what they can eat or drink? Bloomberg is a delusional power hungry egotist that needs to be replaced.
He has no idea what freedom means. Government’s role is to leave people alone.
the only obligation this idiot has is to stay out of peoples lives
Bloomberg is a Maosist.
I therefore propose FR Rule # 2:
Always refer to Bloomberg as Chairman Bloomberg.
He doesn’t even mean what he portrays himself as saying. He’d stick “surgeon general” warnings or some such thing on the giant cups of soda if he was being honest, even if he was wrong in the warnings. But he goes further: shoot, skip the warnings, just BAN the darn stuff. And NYC takes it meekly as a mouse. Maybe it’s too declasse for New Yawkers to quaff giant cups of soda and it’s a stealth way of being delicate.
Yeah, where is that emanation of a penumbra here? Can’t tell a woman not to have even a viable unborn baby offed, but can tell her not to get a Double Gulp? Consistency isn’t liberals’ forte.
Headline: “Bloomberg admits he does not know the purpose of government”.
NY fatties will have to sew a golden hamburger identification on all their clothes and present zee papers at the city limits.
Let me give you a hint. The role of a city government is to maintain public infrastructure, provide police/fire/public safety services, etc. That's about it.
Well, the Tea Party folks have been kvetching for a long time about getting RINOs, but have been unable to get much of a foot in the door (case in point: Mitt Romney, who to be fair probably would never ban Double Gulps). Here’s your chance, Tea Party! The Double Gulp Tea Party candidate, running against Bloomie!
Maybe Bloomberg should spend his time checking out fancy restaurants - the kind he and his social group eat at - then he can tell HIS friends what they should and shouldn't eat. He needs to share is 'luv' of telling others what's good for them... /s
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with private do gooders who do good with their own dimes. May their tribe increase as much as they please. They can preach that Double Gulps will damn you to hell, if they want. They can require swearing off Double Gulps in order to belong to their private clubs. But they doggone well do NOT have a right to twist the levers of government to keep their neighbors from getting Double Gulps.
You know what’s happening here, don’t ya’? Follow the $$$$$. He’s implemented NO SMOKING bans throughout the city and they are going to lose REVENUE. He’s trying to make it up in other ways. Want more to drink or eat? Buy 2 = more taxation.
OK. When will he be outlawing gay sex ?
2 + 2 = 5
“Can I make the little man fly now, Mother?”

Romanian term limits.
I keep a list of Nanny State mandates on SCRIBD. It is there so I can reference files on my other computers. Who knew people would actually read this stuff.
