Big Brother’s Going to ‘Help’ Us REPRINT

From May 27. 2016

Oh, boy, New York City’s in the news again today!

Michael Bloomberg’s gone, but his mayoral successor, former Sandinista groupie Bill de Blasio (real name, Warren Wilhelm Jr.) is all set to follow in his footsteps. Bloomberg was last heard from trying to ban large sodas. De Blasio is ready to make war on salt.

Starting next month, providing a court order doesn’t stop it, the city will require restaurants, etc., to warn diners of any dish that contains more salt than is recommended by doctors ( http://www.fox5ny.com/news/local-news/145569935-story ).

Why are they doing this? Well, Wilhelm/de Blasio says it’s to “help New Yorkers make better decisions…”

Get it? They’ll help you make better decisions by making those decisions for you!

One by one, bit by bit, the libs who call themselves “pro-choice” work to take away your choices. How many do they plan to leave you with?

They wouldn’t dream of interfering with anyone’s choice to engage in bizarre, dangerous, or destructive sexual behavior. Fornication is a sacred cow to them. But you’d better not order a dish that has too much salt in it, and woe betide the restaurant who doesn’t warn you off.

The difference between a child and an adult is that a child doesn’t know enough to make his own decisions about a lot of things. My parents used to decide when it was my bedtime. Now I decide.

Uh-oh… Is a bedtime regulation next? I hope I haven’t given them ideas.

Total Control of Everyone and Everything: It’s a Big Job

Well, here come the Pro-Choice crowd again, doing what they do best–taking away other people’s choices.

California’s about to enact a law forbidding public eating-places to offer or suggest any drink but milk or water–somehow this brings to mind the image of an old-time prison: the Chateau D’If, perhaps–to any children dining there… with or without their parents present (https://calmatters.org/articles/out-with-soda-juice-and-chocolate-milk-california-could-become-first-state-to-restrict-kids-meals/).

Okay, you can still get a soda, fruit juice, chocolate milk, or iced tea if you’re prepared to demand it; but they’d rather you didn’t. In the words of one Pro-Choice Democrat legislator, they’re just “making sure the choice is a healthful one.” You can have any beverage you want as long as it’s milk or water. This, hallucinate the bill’s sponsors, will eventually “cause a long-term behavior shift,” and the kiddies will turn up their noses at the forbidden sweet drinks and actually want only milk or water.

If you’re opposed to this, it must be because you don’t want the state of California to “combat obesity and diabetes.”

Ask a liberal, “Is there any aspect of human life over which government does not have the final word? Is anything at all not under its authority?” They’ll be stumped. And don’t let ’em get away with that jive about keeping the government out of our bedrooms–not when they’re always trying to drag Christians kicking and screaming into participating in a homosexual sham “wedding”.

But hoo, boy! When you’re setting yourself up as God, you’re setting yourself up for everything. Now it’ll be the state’s fault if kids in California are still fat, still get cavities.

When some people in Syria proposed to make Augustus Caesar a god, and build a temple to him, Augustus found the whole idea repellent and even quite ridiculous. “When some poor fool comes into my temple and prays to me to cure his gout, how am I supposed to do it? Tell me! How do I cure gout?”

But even a Roman Emperor had a better idea of his limitations than a California legislator.
