President Obama Wants To End Independence Day As We Know It

“Even in liberal states, a petty bureaucrat enforcing this in a town could expect to at the very least get his car keyed.”
Don’t you mean get his Prius or Smart Car keyed?

[M Kehoe]

If 0bama doesn't follow immigration laws, why should we follow EPA regulations?

"I’d expect WIDE spread civil disobedience on this one."

Many communities (including most in my area) already ban individual use of fireworks; for years, the only legal fireworks displays have been the ones put on by the communities themselves.

As for banning barbecuing, there will be some resistance, but most of the sheeple will accept it just as they have accepted all of the other infringements on personal liberty in recent years.

What will blacks do?

[Uncle Miltie]

You can assault the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Amendments, Separation of Powers, Legislative authority, etc.

But DON’T be touchin’ Americans’ Barbecue.

There would be hell to pay.

[Bucky14]

At least we can still get halal meats.

It is usually insidious control. A town can’t get the permits or is fined so it just doesn’t organize any municipal fireworks displays. Individual displays are curtailed because of outright prohibition or simply the unavailability of fireworks. Back yard BBQs get curtailed by bans on outside burning or HOA restrictions,. It is the death of a thousand cuts. There needs to be a strike at the heart of darkness. The EPA needs to be abolished, but we need politicians willing to take on the war against the Leftist control freaks.

I think I know the best place in which hold the fireworks before lighting them.

Yeah, either end.

...whatever this slim ball in the oval office wants and what he gets might just be two different things....he thinks he owns this country, remember he said “you didn’t build this” well neither did he....

How is the One going to stop all this smoke wafting into the US from Canada?

[VerySadAmerican]

I wouldn’t object to fireworks being banned in neighborhoods. First of all, the smoke is so thick you can’t drive down the street. Second, it started last night and won’t stop until Sunday night...if then. And third, it scares my dogs. Every fourth we have to go spend the night in a motel in a city that doesn’t allow fireworks so my dogs won’t be shaking all night.

I know I’m lucky to have the freedom to do that. But popping fireworks continuously from dark until 2 or 3 in the morning infringes on my right to get a good night’s sleep.

Finally, I was going to spend a few days on the Mountain Fork River in the wilds of Oklahoma. I mean, this place is out in the woods. Had to cancel because I found out they allow fireworks to be popped by individuals. I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay $200 a night for some peace and quiet and have to listen to fireworks being set off by 40 year old kids.

[VerySadAmerican]

It’s sad to say but I’m beginning to believe the things given us by republicans have taken away more of our liberties than those given us by the democrats.

EPA - Nixon

Patriot Act - Bush

just to name a few.

"Besides ending Independence Day as we know it, the lower ozone limit would stall construction projects and prevent job-creating manufacturing facilities from being built in hundreds of cities across the United States"

Happy Fourth of July comrades- Keep voting Democrat.

"I wouldn’t object to fireworks being banned in neighborhoods."

I understand your concerns - I share some of them, as well as a concern about some idiot setting houses on fire. Possible solutions to these concerns could be:

1. Restricting the use of fireworks to 7:30-11:30 p.m. on the 4th.

2. Restricting the use of aerial fireworks (anything that launches off the ground) to playgrounds, parking lots, etc. with a minimum open area of - say - 300x300 feet.

Sorry the feds will cut off highway and education money for non compliers.

[Patriot777]

At any rate, enjoy your 4th. It may be the last these United States celebrate.

[TBP]

Dictators always want to kill any reminders of freedom and liberty.
