By the time the communists finish taking over America won’t be much freedom left.

The only way for Bloomberg to be sure that people aren’t eating or drinking the wrong things, is for him to sample people’s waste. Michael.....hold the cup while I pee in it. Whoops......looks like I got you on top of the head. Maybe you should wear platform shoes. I’d almost put up with this just for the chance to piss on Bloomberg.

"When government controls health care, it also has complete authority over every aspect of your life."

There it is: that's what they're after.

From work enviornments to hobbies, the state will tell you what and when and where.

Excellent article. America is now the land of soft tyranny.

It may yet become the land of an overt tyranny, God forbid.

‘Pod.

A Swedish political party is taking a stand against upright urination.

At a county council meeting Monday, the Left Party, or Vänsterpartiet, tabled a motion that would require office washrooms to be genderless with a sit-down-only requirement, reported the news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå.

For men who might refuse to comply, party representatives suggested a separate set of toilets clearly labeled for stand-up urination only.

Vänsterpartiet, known as a socialist and feminist organization, believes seated urination is healthier for men and more hygienic for both sexes.

Party speakers cited medical research they said shows men empty their bladders more efficiently while seated. Improved bladder evacuation reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party. It also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, it said.

Viggo Hansen, a substitute council member who authored the motion, told Sveriges Television that that the move does not represent an attempt to meddle in the bathroom habits of citizens.

“That’s not what we’re doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet,” he said.

LOL’

Mr. Hansen, I extend a middle finger in your general direction, and say, "Bullsh!t!"

Leaning towards the left is a mental disorder, like living in bizzaro world or something. Leftism is like being a neurotic, arrogant, clueless control freak.

It ends in outright subjectivity. Maybe then the slavery avengers will consider their mission accomplished.

Thank you. It was nothing I didn't know, but there were some very good turns of phrase that are worthy of incorporation.
