Obama Creates Thousands of New Jobs
Independent Individualist ^ | 6/15/09 | Reginald Firehammer

Posted on 06/18/2009 7:02:20 PM PDT by Hank Kerchief

The jobs are risky, but very lucrative for those willing to take the risks, and require no previous experience or special training. Almost anyone with a driver's license (or at least the ability to drive) can do this job.

How did Obama do it?

What People
Who Don't Smoke
Look Like
A recent Senate vote brought tobacco under the regulation of the FDA. The effort, spearheaded by Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., in the Senate and Calif. Democrat Henry Waxman in the House (no doubt because of their medical expertise—Kennedy, for example, is considered the government's chief expert on alcohol consumption).

This is very important legislation. It is obvious that tobacco is something a lot of people want to use (which is what the government is counting on), and will continue to use no matter what regulations are put in place, which the government knows perfectly well, but will now be able to increase taxes on and control the distribution of this almost endless revenue producing product.

And it will create two whole new classes of jobs: 1) the army of regulators that will be needed to control tobacco production, distribution, and sales, and 2) the army of tobacco smugglers that this much more profitable version of tobacco (like alcohol during prohibition) will create. Definitely a win-win proposition for employment.

Almost as Good as Global Warming

For the government, the Smoking lies have been almost as good as the Global Warming lies, just not as big. Of all the so-called science proving all the terrible things smoking does, there is no hard-science at all. It is all exactly the same kind of junk-science (surveys and statistics) used to put over the Global Warming scam.

Almost everyone buys it. It's why fools like American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown can say things like, "The Senate vote is a significant victory for all Americans as we try to reduce the devastating toll tobacco use has inflicted on our communities." When you are driving around your community, keep a sharp eye out for all those heaps of dead bodies and collapsed buildings tobacco is inflicting on your town.

The truth does not matter to these people, especially if they can use their junk science to keep people terrified — don't smoke or you'll die from cancer or heart disease; don't go out in the sun or you'll get skin cancer and die; don't drive without a seat-belt or you'll have an accident and die. Does no one think that perhaps it is not too good for you to be terrified of every blessed thing that exists?

The Smoking Truth

The primary truth is, it would not matter if smoking a cigarette would kill you without fail before nightfall, it is wrong for any government to prevent the production, sale, and use of anything that all individuals involved freely choose to do. There is ultimately only one reason cigarettes (and most other substances) are regulated at all and that is the belief that some people have a right to force other people to do what they think is best for them; and they cannot bear that some people might actually be enjoying their lives without their interference.

The truth is that hard science, that is real science, does not identify a single confirmed health issue with tobacco, but does find huge numbers of medical benefits. You will not find that in any MSM sources, because they have become an arm of government terrorism force.

In fact, however, all the excuses for regulating tobacco are lies. Tobacco is used because people enjoy it. They would not use it if they didn't, and doing something you enjoy is good for you. But there are even greater benefits of smoking—benefits the government and its well-controlled media are intentionally hiding.

Among those benefits are the following:

  1. Improves and prevents Parkinson's disease.
  2. "Reduced MAO B (monoamine oxidase) enzyme (smokers in their 60s have MAO B of nonsmokers in their 20s); also here). Lowering of MAO B is the Holy Grail of life-extension."
  3. "Glutathione (chief antioxidant in human body) and catalase (another key antioxidant which neutralizes alcohol damage, cyanide poisoning, etc.) doubled in smokers." In addition to glutathione, which is the body's master antioxidant and metal detoxifier, many other lesser antioxidants and detoxifiers are similarly strengthened.
  4. "Nicotine suppresses cell death of neurons (it also promotes vascular growth factor, e.g. growth and branching of capillaries)"
  5. Reduces osteo-athritis (up to threefold)
  6. Reduces incidence of colorectal cancer in women
  7. People who smoke fare better than nonsmokers when exposed to occupational hazards
  8. Reduces schizophrenia symptoms
  9. Reduces incidence of Alzheimer's and other degenerative diseases
  10. Smoking is protective against thyroid cancer
  11. Severe gum recession, less of a risk for smokers
  12. Children of smokers have lower odds for suffering from allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema and food allergy
  13. Nicotine stops the growth of tuberculosis
  14. Smoking prevents a rare skin cancer
  15. Smoking reduces the risk of breast cancer
  16. Nicotine is therpeutic in treatment of ulcerative colitis

OH, and while you enjoy that smoke, be sure to have a nice glass of red wine. "The breadth of [its] benefits is remarkable—cancer prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage, reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and obesity, and many more."

Smoke, drink, and be merry. You'll be happier and you'll live longer.

“I have one vote, I gave it to Moussari. I have one life, I will give it for freedom.”

Beautiful, CSM.... Those who signed the DoI pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

They thought Liberty was worth it.

Perhaps they were just better men than we have around nowadays....

And I use "men" in the generic here — i.e., including women too.

I'm "keeping my chin up," CSM! You do the same!

Bite me.

Hang out in the non-smoking places.

Leave me just one place to smoke that you would never go to in the first place.

People like you with attitudes like that are the reason why smokers get no sympathy from non-smokers as smoking is restricted in more and more places.

If that is what it means to be "radical" then count me in.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

Thank you for the compliment.

People like me are also starting to smoke wherever and whenever they wish (again) because we're sick of your bullcrap, there aren't enough cops or firemen or whatever to enforce the rules, and the rest of this nation is like a bunch of sheep and won't do anything about it.
