What happened to "lifestyle choice?"
"Individual rights?"
They propogandize and dictate through liberal trial lawyers what lifestyle they've chosen for us. Only the lifestyles they choose for us are politically correct. We'll have individual rights only when they allow us to have them.
Forcing someone to think contrary to their conscience creates hate.
Hate creates violence.
Violence creates war.
Political correctness laws and their thought police have created more hate in this world than ever before.
What they say they're doing to save humanity from itself is destroying humanities free will instead.
Only hate, violence, war will result from every oppressive law the left leaning heart can create.
No thanks. I'd prefer not to have my soul imprisoned by liberal extremists. My lifestyle choice is one with FREE WILL.
While I'm helping to reduce fat people to the status of lepers I'll be thinking of who the next group will be that I can pummel.
Hummmm.....How about the Boy Scouts ,white males, hetrosexual marriage, religion, moralists, Costitutionalists, our Founding Fathers, the rule of law, property rights, privacy rights , ....... hang on.
I'll think of one.
Let's take them in order.
As Insight reported in June 1997, "many also wonder if the demonizing of cigarettes will lead to a 'slippery slope' in which caffeine, fatty food, chocolate and anything else the public-health community might deem bad or politically incorrect becomes subject to regulation or prohibition" [see "Fighting the Tobacco Wars," June 16, 1997].
Can you say,"We TOLD you so."?
Longtime antitobacco crusader John Banzhaf ridiculed this notion. Cigarettes were a uniquely dangerous product, he and other lawsuit supporters maintained.
Of COURSE he ridiculed the notion. Don't give any OTHER business a heads up that they are coming after you NEXT.
But there's no other industry in the United States that kills anywhere near 500,000 people a year."
My, my, where DO the numbers come from? first it was 300,000, then 400,000, now it's 500,000, even though according to them LESS people are smoking.
That was then and this is now. Five years later, fresh from his victory over tobacco companies, Banzhaf is a leader of a movement of trial lawyers and public-health activists who are marshaling the strategies used against tobacco to go after fast-food restaurants and food processors that sell "fatty" food, candy, soft drinks and other consumables deemed politically incorrect.
Ah, another 'leader'. Sieg Heil!
"Hit junk-food junkies where it hurts: in their wallets" by "slapping high-fat, low-nutrition foods with a substantial government 'sin' tax."
What do you say we hit KELLY where it hurts. Like, upside the head!
the states have been hurting for revenue in the Clinton economic downturn, and public-health activists are pitching food excise tariffs as small taxes that could be turned into bigger ones after the pubic gets used to them.
The old boiling frog method.
To compound this, the IRS in April classified obesity as a "disease" for deduction of medical expenses. This reminds many observers of when Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler shifted the blame from individual smokers to the tobacco companies by calling smoking a "pediatric disease." Tort reformer Schwartz says, "That's important, because if obesity is a disease, then it's not your fault. That's a very important step because the plaintiffs' lawyers and those who want to make an assault on fatty food have to move away from the concept of individual responsibility just like the antitobacco people had to move away from the idea that you choose to smoke."
What is the IRSdoing classifying ANYTHING as a 'disease'?
Yes, just as the classification of 'addictive' was changed for tobacco so will the classification of 'fat', 'obese', and 'food' be changed.
WRONG. The FDA stopped the milk lobby from using any claims to the health benefits of milk some years ago. It seems these same fat nazis didn't like the "milk it does a body good" ads.
It's not animal fat so much that's doing the nation damage. It's processed fats. They're plastic food after being processed. The body cannot rid itself of them.
Put some margerine on a plate and place it on a windowsill. With the exception of an occational fly falling into it, even the bugs won't eat it! Mold won't eat it! It dries into a plastic chunk!
This is the food the liberals want us to eat?
I think the reason the liberals are so wacked out is because their brains are starving. They eat the real trash without substanance.
Excactly, but maybe when you hit the majority of average PEOPLE, these average people will wake up, and start fighting the life style police.
We're slowing suing ourselves into socialism.
