The family of Charlie Johnson has been growing cranberries on its small farm near Carver, Mass., since the 1920s. But for the last six years, the federal government has been making life miserable for the 70-year-old Korean War veteran and his wife.

Guys, He has the POWER. Now, comes the time for the guts to exercise that power. Peace and love, George.
The more immigrants we pack into this country, the less room we'll have and the more your precious property rights will be undermined.
Oh, I know: We have plenty of room. This problem is just being caused by greenies who are mislead by a conspiracy of malicious left-wing wacko tree huggers who value snails more than people.
Sure.
The mulit-billion dollar eco-conglomerates ruining communities one by one. The modern day robber barons. They nearly exclusively target poorer, concervative communities. Decitmate the community, bring down land values and scoff up property at bargain basement prices.
It's happening all over the country and none of our useless politicians are doing a damn thing about it. Most are promoting this evil scorge.
I really have to slow down.
Perhaps the truth is that the Bush kid has very few subordinates.
It is all but hopeless to combat the politician and bureaucrat enemies directly using commonsense logic and rational thought. They have no desire to acquire or maintain a stand on honest principle.
They are, however, very much moved about by tyranny of the majority -- mob rule. That is why they must put great effort toward harnessing the mob's minds and hearts via an "ends justify the means" modus operandi. Almost all politicians and bureaucrats operate by it.
Two examples: they can never admit the reality that guns don't kill people -- people kill people. They can never admit the reality that drugs don't abuse people -- people abuse themselves. They all violate their oath of office to uphold the constitution. If and when they do appear to stand on honest principle it is usually by accident or convenience -- not out of intent.
Juxtaposition:
The working-class man has a plan. While his work contributes to his prosperity and benefits society, he wants more prosperity and knows that in order to gain more prosperity for himself he must increase his benefit to society. He is one of the somewhat rare men and women that create a business plan. His plan is to create jobs, for he can't do all the work of the business himself.
His business plan when put into action will create jobs which will increase his employees' prosperity and with all those workers injecting more benefits into the marketplace it enables a more prosperous society.
BUT, there's a problem. Despite the man's honorable business plan that strives to gain more for himself and inject more benefits into society, government -- politicians and bureaucrats -- insist that the man use the government's plan.
The government's plan is overlaid on the businessman's plan and forces regulations, taxes and fees on the businessman's business plan. The government's overlay plan diminishes the businessman's goal of creating more jobs and injecting more values into society for which he is rightfully compensated with increased prosperity for himself.
Politicians and bureaucrats literally become parasites surviving off those that create prosperity and well-being for themselves, others and society. Working-class citizens -- from high-risk entrepreneurs to laborers to scientists to farmers -- literally become the host for government parasites.
The mob is growing increasingly restless and the politicians and bureaucrats magician-like illusions -- aided by a complicit media and academics -- are fast being cast aside by the light of fully integrated honesty.
