Horses fart too much.
Horses also kick people's brains out, and exhibit other delightful equine behaviors.

Everybody seems to miss the point of this, which is that our government has long since passed from what was the founders’ original design, to serve the public by providing what citizens could not themselves provide. It is now no different in its intent from dictatorial states, in its attempts to control the population. Only the degree of coercion separates us from Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, or Stalin’s USSR. But we may yet get there.

I live 38 miles to the nearest grocery store, as well as all other stuff. Really, I think I need my car. Where you live makes it inconvenient for the ACORN thugs and 0bama's Civilian Defense Force to provide indoctrination. You will be required to move to the ghetto so you can be properly assimilated.

Did he take his government-paid-for limousine to the venue to make this speech about making the rest of us get out of our cars?

At the National Press Club on Thursday he attempted to respond to George Wills column and to explain his vision for using the power of government to change peoples transportation behavior and to change the nature of American residential communities.At least you're honest about that whole nasty administration's intentions, LaHood, you scumbag.

Interestingly enough a census guy came by last week.
When he got out of the car, I asked what his business was. He held up an ID badge and said he was from the census.
Before he moved from around the car I asked him if he was acorn, and if so get back in his car and move along.
He took his badge off, and started to rail against Barry and acorn. Then he put his badge back on and said he was there to verify the address.
Really weird.

Ever notice how much RINO Ray LaThug (Combine-IL) looks like a 40s movie baddie? All his press conferences should be aired in black and white.

“hypocrisy” never enters the picture in this argument because leftists believe those in charge must necessarily be exempt from the rules they impose on everyone else.

"I think we can change people's behavior" THE OBAMA-NATION:
Outlaw as many freedoms as possible.
Take away individual choice and independence by taxing the people into poverty.
Then, destroy their livelihoods, herd them into urban holding pens, and make them toe the Obama line if they want food, shelter, medical care.
