when liberals say “smart”

Township of Nutley New Jersey - PSE&G Gas Main Project - Mid-June - December 2023

“We make things work for you.” More like “We make you work for things.”

We received a notice from our power company yesterday warning us that we’ll be charged an extra $12 a pop for meter-reading unless we agree to let them install a “smart meter.”

We are not told what’s so “smart” about it. Or what it’s supposed to do for us.

When a liberal pitches something, anything, as “smart,” you can be pretty sure they mean something that will give THEM more control over your life. Business customers, by the way, will not be allowed to opt out; for them, smart meters will be mandatory (there’s that word again–and how they love it!).

Something bad has happened to the whole idea of America as a free country. It seems our Constitution has a harder and harder time protecting us.

Our country’s founders did their best to keep that from happening; but now it’s up to us.

Deciding what is “unacceptable”

Y’know, covering news is just no fun anymore. Which one of dozens of equally depressing stupid stories do you blog about? Well, let’s try this one…

The “European Commissioner for Justice, Consumers, and Gender Equality” (oh, brother) says it may soon become necessary for government to “regulate” the media to keep out “hate” and “exclusion” and “a bad version of nationalism” (https://pjmedia.com/trending/eu-justice-commissioner-says-media-must-be-regulated-to-prevent-hate/). In fact, she says, government had better draw up plans for “smart regulation” of the things that people write.

Be very, very afraid of anything a leftid pitches to you as “smart.” And watch out when they talk about “justice,” too. Because their “justice” ain’t so just.

The media, you see, says the European Commissioner for Justice, Consumers, and Gender Equality, is very important in “defining the limits of what is unacceptable in a society.” Hoo, boy. Would you want Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow, or any other noozie jackanapes, deciding what would be “unacceptable” in our society? I’m sure they have equally nauseating counterparts in Europe.

Except under God, liberty is most emphatically not the natural condition of mankind–and these varmints certainly don’t see themselves as being under God. Someone’s always trying to devour our liberties.

And someone always has to stop them.
