One of Hannity’s guests brought this up last night. Bloomberg, like Obama, considers himself a god.

From Zero Hedge:

http://confoundedinterest.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/2012-federal-budget-obamas-grecian-formula-of-1-33-in-deficits/

In summary, this budget harkens back to the classic ’60s rock/country song by Joe South, Freddie Weller and others called “Games People Play.” Except that a new version should be recorded called “Games The Administration Play.” It would fit this budget proposal perfectly: its all games, not a serious effort to govern.

“Oh the games people The Administration play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers (Cass Sunsteen, Austan Goolsbee, Larry Summers, Christina Romer, Elizabeth Warren, etc.)
Till they’re we’re covered up with flowers (cradle to grave entitlements)
In the back of a black limousine.

Chorus
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking ’bout you and me
And the games people The Administration play

Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame (Congress and specifically House Republicans)

Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking ’bout the things that might have been
It’s a dirty rotten shame

Repeat Chorus

People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they’re tryin to sock it to you (Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, EPA mandates, tax the “rich”, ignoring The Constitution)
In the name of the Lord (Jesus would want to raise taxes on the rich and give to the Romans – funny, I missed that part of The Bible!)

They’re gonna teach you how to meditate (or community organize)
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith (requiring Catholic organizations to fund contraceptives against their will)
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

Repeat Chorus

Look around tell me what you see
What’s happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am (an individual, not part of a Utopian collective)

Cause you’ve given up your sanity (not to mention personal freedom)
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you sad on humanity
And you don’t give a da da da da da “

Hey, Joe South actually understood The Obama Administration back in the 1960s!

Fellow Christians: Learn to minister to yourselves. Learn to worship in small groups. If your church does not encourage small group ministries, demand it. The day is coming when the government will tax and regulate our large churches out of existence and we need to be prepared to go underground, as our Christian ancestors did and still do in other countries.

The USSC did several religious freedom cases where they relied on the FREE SPEECH clause to allow religious people to do whatever it was they wanted to do.

This is too deep for New York's current Goober in Charge.

He just doesn't like Christians.

Isn’t that viewpoint discrimation? I think Jay Sekulow has won cases similar to this one in other states.

Bloomberg is in some respect worse that Obama. When the Susan Kormen Foundation first cut off Planned Parenthood, he came forward with a $250,000 donation to more than make up for the cut. This guy is a radical liberal Democrats posing off as a Republican. Time to bring back “Truth in Labeling” laws.

The guy’s a bitter, liberal statist but he’s managing the security situation well.

We make up about half or more of the nation’s voters and taxpayers. They can only do these things if we LET them.

Apathy is the killer. We need to push back and hard....

and we can start by pushing back against unions.

Bloomberg makes pond scum look good. I get tired of hearing how great NYC is, it is a big festering insane asylum.

Everything Thomas Jefferson said about big cities is doubly true about NYC.

I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings, I don't want to hurt other Freepers. We just can't let this nation be dominated by the urban beehive mentality.

Apathy isn’t the killer. Bad priorities are!

Thanks NYer.
Should religious institutions be able to rent public property just like any other community group? If you're New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the answer is a resounding no, a decision that has angered local communities and is poised to kick out dozens churches from meeting in New York City public schools even though other groups, including labor unions, are granted full access.
Bloomberg is ramping up anger against his adopted political party ahead of the fall election.

Bloomberg can’t go swimming anymore because someone always throws toilet paper into the pool with him to make it look more natural.

You nailed it Bryanw92! Yours is the Quote of the Day.

At the Giants post SuperBowl parade he was onstage doing the MC duties with Michael Strahan. Like that twerp tyrant had ‘anything’ to do with the NY Giants success. Yet there he was onstage, getting attention and grabbing the spotlight on their victorious efforts as if he was so dang important to it.
Bloomer makes me ‘like’ ex-Mayor Dinkins a whole lot more compared to him and we know what an incompetent boob Dinkins was....
