This is still a free country, right?

I think that, by the time you get around to seriously asking this question, it's long past time to toss the tea into the bay.

NANNY STATE PING!!!!!!!!!!

[GOP_Lady]

Here's a perfect example of FRs who support the NYC calorie law. Why am I not surprised that people want the government to do the work that they're supposed to do, even it it's minuscule? It's called “passing the buck.” I wonder what Ronald Reagan would think of the nanny state that we are becoming. God bless that great man's soul.

Great article. Thanks so much, dear Gabz! :-)

[GOP_Lady]

Oh, but don’t regulate or checkout those supplements or diet products. Yeah, right.

[GOP_Lady]

It is not just the left who are nanny staters..

If you’ve ever seen Cool Hand Luke and remember the song “Plastic Jesus”. My rewrite will eventually add smoking eating and breathing

Obama

I’m ain’t scared of no Osama,
Long as I’ve got my own Obama,
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

He says he will save this nation,
All through proper tire inflation.
Add tune ups and I know he’ll take us far.

You sure need your own Obama,
Listen to his commie drama,
As he taxes all you make or save.

We don’t need domestic drilling,
All you need is to be willing,
Give up liberty and be his slave.

Go and get your own Obama,
He’s wiser than the Dalai Lama,
Leading us, to new hope and change.

If you don’t see his Marxist leaning,
Then your diaper must need cleaning.
As for me I’ll vote for John McCain.

[GOP_Lady]

You’ve got that right. I wish President Reagan were around to politely show those people (yes, even ours) the proper way to get things done.

[GOP_Lady]

Way too cool. Thanks! :-)

[Gabz]

Thanks for the heads up on that thread -— I just pinged the list to it.

SUPER!!!!!!!!!

[GOP_Lady]

Cool. You'll be shocked how many FRs support this type of stuff when businesses have been doing it for years and have had it online for years as well. Shocking, just shocking, I tell you.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am over posting my happy little song! thanks : )

[KevinDavis]

Yet they are the same people who complain that Government is “too” big.. Go figure..

[coolbreeze]

LOL...John Prine would be proud.

I watched the television news in horror as police broke into homes and took people to detox centers after neighbors alerted the government to people who they felt were drinking too much.

Dang! Gotta be real careful, next time I put $teak$ on the barbie...

[GOP_Lady]

I don’t think they know what they want.
