Remember back when Bork said”we have half our constitution left”?
Now with these bastards we have 10% left, time is coming fast, to hit the reset button.
Speak for yourself. We say "f-ck you." and they do it anyway.
This also serves of an example of how business/gov’t collude.
G&E and Phillips actually don’t support repealing the ban because they have already shifted their manufacturing.
You see, they were large enough businesses to handle this kind of retooling. That results in “little gys” going out of business.
This kind of regulation not only serves to oppress us, but to ensure the market share of big players at the expense of the smaller ones.
I'm inclined to agree with the many emails my former pastor sent me before the 2010 election.
Vote them ALL out and start with entirely new Conservative candidates. Thank you to the good ones, you'll get a very nice pension, but perhaps we need to start clean.
Good one from Bob Lonsberry. Thanks for posting.
Yes, we need to protect the little guys.
I think medium and especially small business is good for America in almost every way. you have watch out for the mega-monsters like GE. They seem to be the type that give money to the Dems and support bad ideas like the AGW scam.
Think about this: If “we” couldn’t even repeal this stupid light bulb law, how the hell will we ever be able to get rid of Obamacare? We won’t, that’s how.
Here’s a great article on this type of regulation from American Thinker
“The Soft Dictatorship”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/the_soft_dictatorship.html
Couple of days ago with the temp in the HIGH 90’s my air-conditioner burped, coughed twice and gave it all up. Time for a new one. Saw exactly what I needed, capacity wise and physical size wise. Oh, Oh...it was a GE(!!!)
Bought same physical/capacity of another make.
Personally I’ve demoted GENERAL Electric down to PRIVATE Electric. Held my own courtmartial.
Ballot box, we try and try, but keep getting the same results, meaning none....CHECK
Bullet box, we are way too civilized to actually fight to the death to defend our own wives and children from pedophiles, how are we supposed to do so from an amorphous enemy like govt? "We the people" clearly do not have the guts .......FAIL.
There may be some wackos out there that have the insanity within them to commit murder in the name of some cause, but to band together and DEMAND that the govt get back within its constraints, or be prepared to be forcibly restrained.....give me a break. We only need 25% or so, but everyone is too busy making money, paying bills, and watching sports.
OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES, and OUR SACRED HONOR, will not be pledged. Heck, people will not even risk jail by refusing to fund this "beast" by withholding taxes. That should be the very first step. Everyone is too afraid to even put their name to such a tactic. How else can you defeat an enemy, if not first taking away their treasure?
Shame on the Rats who made this either filibuster or non-override of Obama possible. Shame on them. And I say that as a personal aficionado of the fluorescent bulb. The other day, in a home improvement store with a scanty, at best, complement of 100 watt bulbs, they actually had Edison bulb replicas which delivers the lighting equivalent of a night light bulb with 60 watts (but it looks oh so cool and atmospheric). Why is Congress not bent out of shape over “blasphemies” like this?
I went to the White House web-site and went room by room. The place is filled with chandeliers and NONE of them have the curly cue light bulbs that the rest of us must be using soon.
In some cases, the only thing GE gets is a few pennies’ royalty for the usage of its name. The actual item is built by some other mass market commodity house.
With the O-bomb-economy, they seem to be doing a fair job of taking their own treasure away.
And I bet the reason is that every single one of those chandeliers is on a dimmer. Dimmer-capable curlies exist, but they do not track well to one another.
And let's not forget that the imperial government is also mandating increased miles per gallon ratings on cars that happen to be using fuel with fewer BTU per gallon, another case of the government mandating things that it knows nothing about, part of the beauty of centralized management that is the goal of socialists and communists world wide.
