Democrats. They’re never happy unless they can ban, regulate or tax something. Now, after an all night brainstorming session on how to impose more government on the public, these five imbeciles want to ban flavored cigars. Somebody tell me, what are the Democrats going to do when they finally succeed in banning everything?

The grass kissing, tree hugging environmental zealots in the administration, specifically the FDA have outdone themselves. Guess what’s next on the infinite list of Obama bans? Asthma inhalers. Yup! Those fruitcake environmentalist nutjobs in the tyrannical and out-of-control federal government are putting an asthma inhaler ban in place. Why? To “save the environment!”
Three things come to mind. First, it proves what many of us believe that the environmental nutjobs place a higher priority on “the environment” than on human life. Secondly, the Obama government needs to be voted out next year, and thirdly, save the environment from what, exactly?
There is no possible way asthma inhalers harm the environment. None. Just like aerosol didn’t do a thing to the environment (ozone) when that ridiculous ban went in to effect. Ahh but the kooks are at it again!
via MSNBC:
Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government’s latest attempt to protect the Earth’s atmosphere.
The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products.
The action is part of an agreement signed by the U.S. and other nations to stop using substances that deplete the ozone layer, a region in the atmosphere that helps block harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun.
But the switch to a greener inhaler will cost consumers more. Epinephrine inhalers are available via online retailers for around $20, whereas the alternatives, which contain the drug albuterol, range from $30 to $60.
Is this the most asinine pile of shit you have ever read, or what? Ban lightbulbs, control your energy usage (GE Smartgrid), ban foods and force Americans to eat cardboard crap, ban farm dust… does it ever end? WTF? We need to get these assholes out of power and in a prison cell next year. This is absolutely retarded. Land of the free? Surely you jest!
The Atlantic had a piece a while back discussing the inefficiencies of “going green.”
In fact, when I look back at almost every “environmentally friendly” alternative product I’ve seen being widely touted as a cost-free way to lower our footprint, held back only by the indecent vermin at “industry” who don’t care about the environment, I notice a common theme: the replacement good has really really sucked compared to the old, inefficient version. In some cases, the problem could be overcome by buying a top-of-the-line model that costs, at the very least, several times what the basic models do.
And what do I do? I do as I please and to hell with “the environment.” Seriously. When I change the oil in the boats, I give my old boat oil back to “the environment,” and when I fire up those engines in the spring, I blow all the anti-freeze in to the lake. And that’s just for starters. What are you gonna do about it? I won’t stop. So like I said, what are you gonna do about it?
And here’s another one. You know what you do with empty glass bottles when you are out on the water? So glad you asked. You have a two foot iron rod, you stick it down the bottles neck and punch out the bottom of the bottle and toss it overboard. Sinks right to the bottom! Yeah, I do that too. What are you gonna do about it?
Democrat State Senator Alan Lowenthal
In something so asinine that only a Democrat could come up with… Everybody has ordered out for food I assume? Well, you know those white styrofoam containers with three or four compartments for your food that darned near every restaurant has? Well, those containers are about to be banned. And yes, the genius behind the ban is a Democrat.
Is there anything left in that state to ban anymore? Plastic garbage bags are out, plastic grocery bags are out, plastic leaf bags are out, Happy Meals are out, fast food restaurants are out via zoning ordinances, bottled water is out, smoking is out, soda pop is out, looking at pretty girls is out, seriously. What’s left to ban?
SACRAMENTO – Restaurant owner Gary Honeycutt says a push in California’s Legislature to ban the plastic foam containers he uses to serve up takeout meals could cost him thousands of dollars in an industry where profit margins are razor thin.
BJ’s Kountry Kitchen, in the heart of California’s farm country, uses about 26,000 of the 9-inch foam clamshells a year, mostly for takeout by the customers who come in for the restaurant’s popular breakfast omelets.
“We put cheese on those omelets. And when we put the cheese on, it’s really hot and bubbly and it goes right through the biodegradable stuff,’’ he said. He said he expects his costs would more than double if the state requires him to use only biodegradable cartons.
The bill by state Senator Alan Lowenthal, a Democrat, would prohibit restaurants, grocery stores, and other vendors from dispensing food in expanded polystyrene containers beginning in 2016.
Leave it to the tree hugging, environmental zealots. Those kooks alone are responsible for a lot of the inflation we are seeing. They’re militant zealots that need to be pushed back in to the woodwork. They all suffer from a mental disorder.
Regardless of where you stand politically, throw that pettiness out the window for a moment if you’re not too small to do so. Can you see what’s happening? Look at the big picture. Do you see what’s happening to this country? We aren’t united anymore, we aren’t even Americans anymore, we’re African-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Progressive-Americans, Conservative-Americans, whatever happened to just “Americans?” We haven’t been this divided and polarized since the civil war.
Unions aren’t unions anymore, they are communist cells affiliated with the CPUSA, Democrat’s aren’t Democrats anymore, they’re Socialists, class warfare and envy ravages this nation, bans on damn near everything from McDonald’s Happy Meals to smoking a cigarette in a privately owned business outside on a deck, the POTUS calling the loyal opposition “enemies,” and I could go on and on. Does anyone believe this was the founders vision for this country?
And now we have this. Organizers for the city of Wausau, WI are banning Republicans from attending the parade. Oddly enough, the organizers that are banning Republicans from attending are always the same people who are the first and loudest to scream about inclusion, tolerance, fairness, freedom and rights. Huh! Go figure!
One-in-five Americans (20%) say they or someone they know has bought large quantities of traditional light bulbs to use when those bulbs disappear off store shelves next year under new federal light bulb regulations.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 70% of Adults aren’t doing that themselves or don’t know anyone who is, but another 10% are not sure.
The new government regulations provide for the manufacture of similar-looking bulbs that will last longer and be more energy-efficient – but also more expensive. Critics view the regulations as unnecessary government intrusion in the free market and see them as effectively banning the kind of light bulb Americans have used for decades.
Just 20% of adults think the sale of traditional light bulbs should be banned (Marxist dopes). Sixty-seven percent (67%) oppose such a ban. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided.
