The Evening Campaign Update (I Swear I Don’t Make This Stuff Up)
I kid you not, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy continued his campaign as an aspirational 3rd-world despot last night by having his state attorney’s office deny the state’s citizenry the right to take an in-car tour of a tulip farm. The man appears determined to wrest the title of the nation’s most abusive governor away from Michigan’s plastic-faced Gretchen Whitmer.
Apparently taking a cue from Whitmer’s edict denying Michiganders the ability to purchase seeds to plant their own flowers, Murphy is now denying New Jersyites the right to even look at a field of flowers from their car. You seriously could never make this stuff up.
As reported by the guys over at The Conservative Treehouse, Dalton Farms, a business established in 1790, was allowing people to come drive through their 99-acre farm to view the beautiful, blooming tulips there while never leaving their car. The farm owners took care to limit the number of cars who could be on the farm at any one time and, at the end of the tour, allowed the tourists to purchase a bouquet of the lovely flowers while observing social distancing rules.
There was no risk here, no danger to anyone, no reason whatsoever for the state to intervene: This was just a local business providing a few people a wonderful opportunity to have a pleasant day out in a way that completely conforms to all guidelines issued by the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the CDC and the NIH.
And yet, on Sunday evening, the owners of Dalton Farms posted the following notice:
This action by New Jersey’s government is not just unjustifiable and despicable: It is simply un-American. It is the act of power-mad lunatics who have no respect for – or probably no real knowledge of – the rights of individual Americans.
When Gov. Murphy last week told Tucker Carlson that he “didn’t have the bill of rights in mind” when he issued his Wuhan Virus-related edicts, he damn sure wasn’t kidding.
It goes without saying, of course, that both Murphy and Whitmer are Democrats. What else would they possibly be?
That is all.
Putting his pants on is above Murphy’s pay grade.
He’s a smooth-talkin’ POS.
Gov. Murphy should be personally introduced to the 2A.
Sic semper tyrannis
Now both tulip farms have been ordered to shut down their drive-throughs. What a shame.
This topic was covered yesterday in this (Link following) article by Monica Showalter:
I think Monica is right on the money with her assessment. Another dirty Democrat at work. To me it seems obvious.
Phil can use his own tulips to kiss my a$$.
My Spidey senses tell me the owners of those Tulip farms may be Trump supporters. Can any New Jersey FReepers get a hold of those people and ask?
Outright mass disobedience seems to be one option with Phil Pot, er I mean Phil Murphy. As I see it, the longer this insanity goes on, more and more people are going to get quite disturbed at these tin pot despots. I’ve got a feeling that when they start “:allowing” people to get back to work and running their lives, it is going to be very, very inconvenient at what you will have to go through to get into a restaurant or hair salon.
NEVER ELECT ANOTHER DEMOCRAT....NEVER!
Purely a speculative question of course, but I wonder how Chris Christie as governor would have handled this crisis.
No he has not passed Governer Crotchen wit-less. She has said one person in a vehicle, we may not buy flowers, no fishing and more.
The smart money is on your hunch.
Invite everybody you know to go to the farm. Screw these wannabe dictators.
Yes, folks, there are male Karens, too.
This is the only story on television right now
so let’s watch as these liberal governor’s squirm !!!
as their citizens want to get back to living their life !!!
and they’re trying to prevent them from doing so
I mean where did the constitution ever give a governor the right to say almost anything specific like that?
Hey you ! single business !!
you can open or close because I say so
Reminds me of when Obama’s IRS raided Gibson Guitars (GOP contributors) for using “illegal” rosewood in their guitars, but gave Martin Guitars (large ‘RAT contributor) a pass.
Yes, you can sail, not motor boat. Cannot buy paint, fertilizer, mowing lawn is verboton. No flowers, no planting.
Go ahead and mow your lawn. The only thing your neighbor is likely to get a snootful of is grass pollen.
