New Executive Order: ‘Target Behavior’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

One of the helpful space aliens from the classic Twilight Zone episode of 1962, “To Serve Man.”

Okay… at the count of three, I’m going to wake up and none of this has really happened, it’s all just been a dream. One… two… three…

No! No! This is not happening! Say it ain’t so! But I’m afraid it is so, kid.

Remember when we used to be the United States of America, and we used to get new laws when our elected representatives publicly debated and then voted on them? When we weren’t herded around like cattle by a combination of judicial rulings and executive orders?

Well, President *Batteries Not Included has a new executive order, this one ordering government agencies to use “behavioral science” to “target” groups of citizens so they can more effectively be rounded up into various government programs ( http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/15/obama-issues-executive-order-government-use-behavioral-data/ ).

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Says the Community Organizer-in-Chief’s latest executive order, “behavioral science insights–research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them–can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people.”

Uh-uh. Sort of like the aliens in that old Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man.” They came to our planet “to serve man”–serve him up for breakfast, lunch, supper, or a midnight snack.

Listen. This has been said before. Maybe this time you can hear it.

Our government is too damned big, too damned powerful, too damned costly, and has its nose stuck into too damned many places.

God will eventually destroy it. Unless we come to our senses and cut it down to size.

Public School Cuisine

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

There are at least 10,000 reasons not to send your kids to public school, and here’s one of them–the food is awful ( http://eagnews.org/thanksmichelleobama-school-resumes-students-begin-posting-skimpy-lunches/ ).

Yep, the new menus suck every bit as much as last year’s. This is thanks to the 2010 Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act–honestly, if you were in Congress, would you dare vote against kiddies being healthy and hunger-free?–which gives Worst Lady Michelle Obama, whom no one voted for, a way to get involved in what other people’s children eat.

Bear in mind there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this food, and that it is a sin to waste it. The problem is, it’s just not food that any normal kid would eat. I wouldn’t choose to eat it, either. And when they give a big fat wing-ding at the White House, paid for by the hapless American public, you can bet your eyes they don’t serve any of this stuff.

When they’re not busy renaming major geographical features, cramming illegal aliens into the country, and making confetti of the Constitution, the pair in the White House like to poke their noses into everybody’s private business.

But don’t take my word for it. Click the link and see the pictures of what will confront America’s public school children when their summer furlough is over.

Would you eat it?

No, New York Has Not Become Daytona Beach

Thirty years ago this week, in 1985, “government scientists” confidently predicted that, due to man-made Global Warming, New York City, by the year 2015, would be “like Daytona Beach” ( http://godfreydaily.com/2015/03/05/flashback-1985-govt-scientists-once-predicted-nyc-would-resemble-daytona-beach-the-daily-caller/ ).

Yes, that was the “settled science” back then, based on “irrefutable data,” blah-blah. But today, in 2015, New York has just had another major snow storm and here, a few miles south of the city, it was 8 degrees this morning.

Good thing we didn’t act on that prediction, isn’t it?

If you think I’m beating a dead horse, think again: this horse ain’t dead. Big Government, Big Science, and the United Nations Dictators Club are still going all out for Global Warming. It’s even rumored that the biggest Global Warming guru of them all, Al Gore, is thinking about making another run for president.

Saving the Planet is still the world’s greatest excuse for growing the government, raising taxes, and gobbling up personal liberty. It justifies anything and everything; that’s why libs and progs still like it.

And so the UN tells us that it’s only cold where you happen to be, personally–the rest of the world is sweltering. “It’s only the Eastern United States that’s cold,” they say: having redefined “Eastern United States” to embrace everything east of the Rockies. Give them a little snow in California, and “Eastern” will mean everything east of the Pacific.

Why do they tell these easily-refuted lies?

To get you to obey. To make you do what they want. Because it fits their “narrative” that each succeeding year is the warmest known in human history, and that unless they are given undreamed-of powers, we’re all gonna die of heat prostration–that, or we’ll just all drown when thousands of our cities wind up underwater.

For as long as the Rulers have that mind-set, the rest of us dare not relax our vigilance.

Big Brother Still Watching… and Still Hungry

If you think Big Government has reached a point of satiation, when it comes to devouring individual liberty, please think again.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, an agency of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, has issued a report that calls for (I quote from the report by Free Beacon) “adoption of plant-based diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity ‘interventionists’ at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television” ( http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-america-should-adopt-plant-based-diet/ ).

Wow! A bold stroke aimed at instantly wiping out adulthood in America and reducing us all to infancy.

So, let’s see… They propose to force us to become vegetarians, depriving the human brain of much-needed protein; to take away our desserts; to have government busybodies hover over us at work to make sure we don’t sneak a Coke or a bag of Fritos; and to use our “smart” TVs to spy on us.

Gee, what are they gonna do if they decide we watch too much TV? Send us to bed early? Order us to knock off fifty pushups?

I don’t know about you, but they’ll have to pry my White Castles from my cold, dead fingers.

Now I’m pretty sure the Constitution–the law of the land, ha, ha!–does not give the federal government the power to tell us what to eat, tell us what we can’t eat, or let some nasty little douche bag of a bureaucrat order us to get off the couch and run around the block. Powers not expressly granted to the central government, says the 10th Amendment, are reserved to the states or to the people. But then who bothers with actual laws, these days?

What is it about the “progressive” mind that fills it with a burning lust to control other people and interfere with their lives? Oh, well, I guess it’s all part of that “fundamental transformation” of America that President *Batteries Not Included promised us.

Make no mistake about it, brethren: these persons are servants of Satan and they mean us harm.
