It was a real eye opener when they were still discussing just a Minneapolis smoking ban.
Several times the local media played a clip of a Hennepin County official walking along the street stating how unfair it would be if people could just walk across the street into St. Louis Park and smoke in a bar or restaurant there.
It hit me like a thunderbolt, this is how liberal Totalitarianism starts; the liberal politicians pass laws that the people don’t like, and then they won’t allow the people any possibility of choice.
Thus it went from a Minneapolis City smoking ban to a Hennepin County ban, because it would be “unfair” for the people to have a choice. Liberal Totalitarianism at it’s finest!

Yes, and celebrated by many FReepers, not necessarily limited to this thread. Convenient conservatisme, the hallmark of the modern Republican.
