Mayor Bloomberg has decided to supercede the city council's proposals to ban smoking in NYC with a totalitarian one of his own, backed up by his own hand-picked gestapo, Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden and his agents.
On Monday, August 12th, the mayor made his proposal public --
TO BAN SMOKERS EVERYWHERE IN NYC
(NY Times Reports: Bloomberg Seeks to Ban Smoking in Every Restaurant and Bar)
THE ANTI-SMOKER OPERATIVES ARE NOW REPORTING THAT
BEACHES AND PARKS
WILL BE NEXT!
WHO'S RUNNING THIS CITY?!?
(NY Post Reports: Beach Butt Ban )
In his acceptance speech on Nov. 6th, 2001, Bloomberg said the following:
"We must put aside anything that divides us. This is NY and it's going to be for all New Yorkers."...
"...Except for those 'stupid' and 'crazy' smokers."
(By the way, someone has started a lawsuit campaign over those remarks. See Sue Bloomberg for details.)
MAYOR BLOOMBERG WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT ALL THE PEOPLE IN NYC. THE CITY DOES NOT REPRESENT MAYOR BLOOMBERG.
Smokers have been the only ones burdened in this city to sustain it financially with an exorbitant tax increase meant to fill the coffers and punish us at the same time. Only sadists kick people some more once they've already been knocked down.
If we can't smoke in public why should we pay the public's taxes?! It is smokers' money that nows pays for the upkeep of public places and continuing services. Where else do you pay for something and are denied access at the same time?
And don't hand us that line about how the smokers wouldn't be banned. In relation, in 1969 when gays were told they couldn't assemble in places where the owners were happy to serve them, gays weren't banned either. What was forbidden was acting gay, so this is really the same abuse.
Who owns the restaurants and bars anyway?? It is certainly not city-owned or public property. It is PRIVATE PROPERTY where the owner ALLOWS the public to enter.
Whether you smoke or not, we call on all defenders of democracy to join us in denouncing such government infringement on private property rights. It is NOT a health issue, it's a freedom of choice issue.
Allow them to discriminate against one segment of society and they will come for you next.
When the health-Nazis came for the smokers,
I was not a smoker,
therefore, I was not concerned.
And when the health-Nazis attacked the obese,
I was not obese,
therefore, I was not concerned.
And when the health-Nazis attacked the drinkers and the alcohol industry,
I was not a drinker,
therefore I was not concerned.
Then, the health-Nazis attacked me and the freedom loving Americans who remained,
and there was nobody left to be concerned.
Under Bloomberg's plan, smokers who break the law may be fined $10 to $100 or be jailed up to 30 days [Source: Associated Press; Aug. 16, 2002 ]
MAYOR BLOOMBERG WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR.... SMOKING!!
I see that you understand that this goes FAR beyond the simple issue of smoking tobacco.
ME Bad!!!
Just a reminder!!

Your Cousins in Calipornia were told and actually believed the same exact thing when they started registering firearms there.
Then the GunNazis got a few more laws passed and they used the REGISTRATION lists to notify residents that they had so many days to either turn in the Weapon or Remove if from the State or face Legal consiquences.
Smoking laws are not about health or they would outlaw Vehicles plain and simple. It is about the control of the masses by a bunch of Nazis that use propaganda to mesmerize simple minded idiots into believing that Big Brother has all the answers.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I told Bubba, do NOT take me to the hospital unless I am in a coma or unconscious. How miserable.....to be in such a stressful situation as a hospital, and there is no place for comfort. Can you believe this?
Of course I believe it.
As someone on another thread said about the minds of antis---they are like cement: all mixed up and permanently set.!!!!!!!!
