I like bacon. I know, courageous stance right? Bacon is one of the delights of life on this earth. It's a universal good, a boon; manna.
But like any universal good on this earth, there are those who disapprove. PETA, for example, and for obvious reasons. Luckily, I don't see PETA successfully instituting global bacon sharia anytime soon. On the other hand, they may not have to. Just as there are universally good things in this world, there are universally stupid things. I call them progressives.
And guess what they're coming for next? Your kids.
Have you read Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism? If not ... why are you so communist? The smiley face with the Hitler mustache on the front cover is a reference to material in the book. The idea being that where fascism intersects with American life, it does so under the guise of do-goodery. It's nice. Smiley-face fascism. (Not be confused with the smiley on the cover of Kos' new book, which is a reference to nu-uh-ery.) So maybe we call the war on food "smiley-face eugenics". Too far? Well let's see.
So-called progressives, or liberals as they're known in the wild, want to help you, you see. You being the poor, dumb, fat, probably racist, Ugly American™ that you are. It takes a village to fix what ails you, and why? Because you don't know best. They know best.
Wear your seat belt! Put on that helmet! Don't drink that, drink this. Don't smoke! You'll poke your eye with that thing! That is not appropriate behavior for two consentin ... ha ha, just kidding. Bedroom is off-limits. But you know what's not off-limits to the nannies?

BACON EXPLOSION
“The other day the guys from BaconToday.com contacted me in search for some barbecue bacon recipes. Of course I have plenty of great uses for bacon in a barbecue pit, but the longer I thought about it, the more I wanted to step it up a notch and clog a few arteries for those guys. Behold, BACON EXPLOSION!!! Here’s what you’ll need…
2 pounds thick cut bacon
2 pounds Italian sausage
1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce
1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub
To kick off the construction of this pork medley you’ll need to create a 5×5 bacon weave. If the strips you’re using aren’t as wide as the ones pictured, then you may need to use a few extra slices to fill out the pattern. Just make sure your bacon weave is tight and that you end up with a nice square shape to work with
The next step is to add some barbecue seasoning on top of your bacon weave. Being the barbeque addict that I am, I whipped up a batch of Burnt Finger BBQ’s competition pork rub for this special occasion. Seeing as not everyone has the time, or the expertise, to create a tasty rub of their own, I would recommend trying Cowtown Sweet Spot for the best combination. Plowboys Yardbird, Bad Byron’s Butt Rub, “
The Obama Federal Health will classify me as a recidivist incapable of rehabilitation. I will be paying a fortune on carbohydrate offsets.
I'll be there with bells on.
Oh man that is freaking awesome.
Treat them like any other spoiled rotten do gooder.
- punch them in the gut when they get in your face.
- spit in their face when they start lecturing you about how bad you are.
- stomp on their toes when they try to stop you from doing what you want to do.
In (other words) if they act like spoiled rotten little brats, treat them as any self respecting child would do. Whatever it takes to get them to run home to their mommy and daddy (ie liberal democrats).
Just make sure your parents (hopefully, Conservative Republicans) are aware that the namby pambys may come to their door from time to time to tell them how to make you behave. Prepare them them so they can be prepared to throw the namby pambys off the porch and leave them with some pearls of wisdom that will discourage them from ever casting a shadow on your property again.
So children, make sure to always prepare your parents so they can be ready when the “Grinch” and other “Nanny Statists” come to your families door to complain about how you not conforming to their particular standards and habits.
If all else fails, encourage your parents to kick them in their “private parts” to insure that the namby pambies will never again attempt to tell others what is none of their damn business in the first place.

we can tax u till u cant afford to eat anything but grass.....We'll have u skinny in No time!
We use bacon when we make creamed corn.
I am such a bacon freak that I recently replaced my salt shaker with a BACOS shaker...praise be the pig!!!
I'm calling my lawyer, because I know that I will be investigated because of it.
Fresh Butter Beans are worthless without bacon drippings.
Any beans without bacon drippings are just not allowed. Need drippings for cabbage, corn bread, salads, greens, biscuts, frying eggs, good brown gravey etc.
Lard makes the best biscuts and pie crust. Also good for frying fish. My mother used to eat lard and sugar sandwiches as a child. I ate butter and sugar sandwiches.
I’m southern too. Not only are they takin the bacon, they’re going to get rid of country ham too. Monsters.
