The true arrogance of Leftists finally emerges publicly: government knows better than YOU

Government ArroganceFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Sunday: Sometimes government does know best. And in those cases, Americans should just cede their rights.

“I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom,” Mr. Bloomberg said, during an appearance on NBC. He made the statement during discussion of his soda ban — just shot down by the courts — and insistence that his fight to control sugary drink portion sizes in the city would go forth.

And there you have it.  Leftists in government are inherently smarter than you, more highly educated than you, prettier, dress finer, and are more than willing to impose their feelings and emotions upon you simply “for your own good” — no matter prior laws, no matter such niggling little things like the US Constitution or that quite troublesome Bill of Rights.

Yes, frankly, Leftists are simply better than you, me, all of us.  So they’ll simply do what they will with the Proles, the Serfs, the Groundlings, because we are too stupid to be “allowed” to run our own lives.

The only thing Leftists want from us?  Money.  Fork over the cash and shut the fuck up.

UPDATE: Number Of U.S. Gun Makers Refusing Sales To Gov’t In ‘Firearms Equality Movement’ Triples In Two Weeks

Gun ControlFrom CNSNews.com:

By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr

On February 22, “Right Views” reported that a growing number of firearm companies have suspended the sale of guns to states, counties, cities and municipalities that restrict their citizens’ rights to own them.

In just two weeks, the number of companies participating in what has been named the “Firearms Equality Movement,” has more than tripled from 34 companies to 118.

The Police Loophole lists every company and links to the statements that each has released regarding their new policies.

Let me just throw this into the mix: what did the Obama Administration already do regarding private business in America?  That’s right, he forced the government into seizure of two of the three largest American automakers, GM and Chrysler.  The result no one saw coming or wanted to report?  Oh yes, that hundreds of dealerships closed.

A report by issued in July of 2010 by Neil M. Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program of the Treasury Department, said that both GM and Chrysler needed to shut down some “underperforming dealerships.” But it also said the cuts shouldn’t have been made so fast and during a recession. The report estimated that “tens of thousands of jobs were lost as a result.”

“It is not at all clear that the greatly accelerated pace of the dealership closings during one of the most severe economic downturns in our nation’s history was either necessary for the sake of the companies’ economic survival or prudent for the sake of the nation’s economic recovery,” the report said.

What happens when the Obama Administration can’t get any more Colt or S&W or Ruger or Remington parts or firearms?

I think you can see where I’m going.

Berkeley Councilman Proposes Email Tax To Fund Postal Service

TaxesRemember when this was ridiculed on the internet via Snopes.com?

Ridicule no more!

From SFCBSLocal.com:

BERKELEY (CBS SF) – A Berkeley city councilman has suggested that a tax on email may be a wise way to help fund the United States Postal Service, according to the blog Berkeleyside.

District 8 Supervisor Gordon Wozniak, who represents an area that includes the Claremont Hotel and the eastern end of the UC Berkeley campus, made the comments Tuesday as city officials moved to halt the sale of a Post Office building on Allston Way due to a decline in business.

But shoot, the tax would only be teensy-weensy:

“There should be something like a bit tax. I mean a bit tax could be a cent per-gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year.  And there should be, also, a very tiny tax on email,” Wozniak said at Tuesday’s meeting.

Nineteen Eighty-Four, here we come, freedoms-a-vanishing!

Let’s just serve up a heaping helping of US citizens as collective Frogs In The Boiling Pot, eh?

Remember what I wrote last post about a new Leftist abrogation every day?

Validated.

Perhaps it’s time for a replay of this wondrous classic whose creation was more prescient than the Amazing Kreskin:

“Be thankful I don’t take it all.”

“And you’re working for no one but me.”

 

 

Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile

From GatewayPundit.com (and not InfoWars):

This is getting a little creepy.
According to one estimate, since last year the Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled more than 1.6 billion bullets, mainly .40 caliber and 9mm.

DHS also purchased 2,700 Mine Resistant Armor Protected Vehicles (MRAP).

What is an MRAP vehicle?  It would be this:

MRAP Vehicle ExplosionAnd it would be this:

MRAPIt is, essentially — at 14+ tons — a tank on wheels.  And a very far cry from the standard LE Lenco BearCat which is popular with law enforcement agencies across the nation regarding SWAT and other specialized applications/units.  See the Lenco BearCat, at 8.5 tons.

Lenco BearCatI’d say there was an — ahem — massive difference between the two vehicles.

Perhaps time to submit a video here:

That seen, though I have been accused of being something of a tinfoil-hat-wearer, I would submit today’s Tom Sullivan show for comparison.  He asked on Monday:

IS THE US GOVERNMENT BUILDING A DOMESTIC ARMY? THE TOP OF THE STACK FOR MARCH 4TH, 2013

1) According to a report, The Department Of Homeland Security has purchased 2,700 light-armored tanks, 1.6 billion bullets.

This isn’t the hated or disgusted InfoWars; it’s something of a mainstream Conservative reporter wondering what is happening.

You’d have to be brain-dead to think there isn’t some purposeful activity occurring within the continental United States — and it doesn’t have anything to do with the adherence to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution — but instead with the abrogation thereof.

I wrote, earlier, about the issues here:

1. Fox News: the DHS purchase of 1 billion+ rounds of ammunition is no big deal

2. DHS Purchases 21.6 Million More Rounds of Ammunition — WHY?

3. The Obama Administration knows it’s tanking our economy, and is preparing for the resulting civil insurrection:

4. Department of Homeland Security gears up for “civil unrest” come November:

5. DHS Informant: US government preparing for massive civil strife

Many of my federal contacts are surprisingly short of comment.  With one or two exceptions.  But mostly they are silent.  It is somewhat unlike them.

But I would posit a few questions that I’ve no doubt asked before:

Why so many rounds?
Why so many vehicles?
Why so militarily-oriented?
Why no explanation?

Frankly, I simply don’t hear any answers to these questions.  Nor do I hear the questions asked in any kind of a public forum.

I’ll ask these questions and answer them in a future post, using logic, common sense, rationality, proportion and history.

BZ

P.S.
Finally, let’s divide this purchase.  2,700 vehicles parsed amongst 50 states = 54 MRAP vehicles per state.

Look for them to be distributed and parked either in LE agency lots or in NG lots.

 

 

MSM: Obama DID PROPOSE the SEQUESTER — and now LIES ABOUT IT

Sperling Admits Obama Misled in Debate: The President Did Propose the Sequester

10:28 AM, Mar 3, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER
White House economic adviser Gene Sperling admits that, yes, in fact, the sequestration was President Obama’s plan:

“We put forth the design of” the sequestration, Sperling said in the video.

Mr Obama LIES and will do ANYthing to enable the disabling of this country in order to reassemble it in the fashion that HE envisions.  Nothing more than, simply put: the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
