HURT: Federal war on hair dryers, fresh milk
The Washington Times ^ | February 21, 2012 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 02/22/2012 10:07:44 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

All praise be to Allah!

The federal government apparently has eradicated the illegal immigration that cripples America. It has eliminated the staggering unemployment that has brought so much misery to so many families. And, apparently, it has erased the suffocating debt and added enough spunk to the economy that it no longer needs all of those little tax dollars that small businesses provide.

That is why the federal government has so much time these days for fine-tuning our society in ways that might seem frivolous if we didn’t have so much patience and extra money lying around.

Just last week, the Department of Homeland Security proudly announced that federal agents had stopped 13,000 “dangerous hair dryers” at the border. The department issued a press release to highlight this daring, successful mission and to remind us how lucky we are to have such diligent protection of our sacred borders.

That’s right, 11 million illegals streaming over the Mexican border and what is our federal government hellbent after? Faulty hair dryers. And they’re even patting themselves on the back for it.

Also last week, cafeteria Nazis in North Carolina swooped in and saved at least two preschoolers from certain death.

Rifling through suspicious lunchboxes containing homemade materials such as sandwiches, the Nazis discovered at least two mothers who were — either intentionally or in their rank ignorance — attempting to poison their children with turkey and cheese, bananas and apple juice.

The agents — in accordance with federal USDA guidelines — wrestled these illicit lunches from the preschoolers and replaced them with healthful, federally approved “cafeteria nuggets.”

Nanny State PING!

Raw milk can be sold intrastate in some states, by the way.

Brothers and sisters, I want to see a sea of hands out there!

I want everybody to kick up some noise!

I want to hear some revolution out there, brothers, I want to hear a little revolution!

Brothers and sisters, the time has come for each and every one of you to decide whether you are going to be the problem or you are going to be the solution! You must choose, brothers, you must choose!

It takes five seconds, five seconds of decision, five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet. It takes five seconds to realize that it's time to move! It's time to get down with it!

Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know are you ready to testify? Are you ready?

Buncombe for the masses; “There’s a sucker born every minute,” as Obama knows only too well.

Such clowns constitute his entire voter base, and he plays to them as unapologetically as P. T. Barnum ever played the Big Top.

Truly a Man for the Morons.

The grocery store has all the milk you can drink. However, if you want it hot fresh, stop by the house and I will let you remove it from a cow for 5 bucks.

I’m not sure I’m supposed to be upset that we stop faulty, dangerous products from being imported into our country.

Agree about the fresh milk. Label it, and let people decide for themselves whether it’s worth the risk. It we would just stop “caring” so much about people getting themselves hurt, we’d all be a lot more free.

I’m beginning to think that the school had just screwed up an order and bought too many chicken nuggets....

Fresh(raw) milk is not pasteurized.

They’re talking about unpasteurized milk, but you probably know that already.
