Someone should tell Ray Lahood that this is what car jackers due back in the ‘hood.
two words: arrogant putz
These silly pusbags think they are running a banana republic, with the climate to match.
They really aren’t pleased that some of us won’t live in the urban beehives.
First it’s coerce, then it’s mandate.
Some people have no idea what living in the country is like. They never get out of their little enclaves in the city.
The key problem is right there. The government bureaucrats think it is their JOB to intrude on our lives. They'd like to do that well, of course, but I don't think it ever occurs to them to question whether or not "intrusion" is really what government is intended to do.
You and your Communist Obama piles do not have the Constitutional authority to tell a single person where, or how, to live.
I just believe that enough has gone on in the past 100+ days that if this illegitimate administration starts to try to make things really bad for commuters to try and get them to move into the cities (for easier control) then I think many of the saner Dims (contradiction in terms?) will help in the revolt and toss your sorry rear ends out into the street.
Well, if Newsweek said it...
Newsweek never met a liberal, lefty government-wielding cause it didn't support.
Is there a single person in Congress who has been outside a city or outside the Beltway?
For a group of people who have THEIR OWN SUBWAY transportation system——exclusive to them and them only, they sure have hutzpah.
Where I live, there are far more trucks than cars, and I would like to see a day when everyone who does NOT drive a car / or does NOT wish to be crammed onto a train or subway as a nice target for terrorists to just sit down and refuse to go anywhere for the day.
Do without the products and services those people provide.
Do without the money spent by those people in the economy.
Truly a General Strike of those who still want the freedom to drive their own vehicles.
Here in Nevada, there are ranch driveways that are more than a mile long.
Someone should tell us how we can get our groceries home from the nearest Super WalMart that is 35 miles away. There are no buses between here and there. No trains. I’d like to see my 76 YO mother ride her bike there and back.
They all think we all live in cities like they choose to do.
When the thugs in Washington give up riding around in their limos and motorcades, I might consider driving less. Not before.
This is really going to get under people’s skin. Americans cherish their automobiles, and will not be happily separated from them.
Idiot. Complete and utter.
My bicycle went in the trash 56 years ago the day I got my drivers license.
Bicycles are foe little kids!
Last time I checked, there weren’t any streetcars out in the country 20 miles from town but perhaps with the New Order I should check again.
They can’t coerce me out of my car. I like to shop at stores where I can park right out front. I rarely go to malls for this reason.
I don’t have any buses or streetcars are trains that are going to pick me and my children up at my rural home, drive me 15 miles to do my shopping, load my bags, and return me home.
And when the school nurse calls and asks me to pick up a sick child - no public transportation will do that for me either.
The government also is not going to cart my kids around to their various activities - productive activities that keep them busy so they don’t wind up downtown (where the public transportation is) painting graffiti, skateboarding, drinking and smoking pot.
Now this Administration thinks its their Constitutional duty to force people out of their cars. What’s next?
Note to Secretary Lahood: You won’t force me out of my car, putz.
