On the Cutting Edge: Bake Sale Bans
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | May 8, 2012 | Rush Limbaugh

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Honestly, bake sales in Massachusetts are being banned because they're calorie-laden and unhealthy. But this is something I warned you about back in 2008, November 10th, right after the election.Let's go back to our sound bite archive. Listen to me on this program, November 10th, 2008.

If this is what people want, let 'em have at it. At some point this is all going to come back and bite everybody in the rear end. They're not going to know what happened. And the only question is going to be: Is it going to be too late to really roll any of this stuff back and change it? Will the left have so much entrenched power -- unelected entrenched power -- for generation after generation, will there be any chance to roll it back? At some point red lights are going to go off. The brains are going to start functioning normally again, and people are going to realize where all this is headed.

RUSH: This was me speaking about a bake sale that was banned in California. Somebody was outraged about it, and I said, "Well, why are you surprised? This is what people voted for out there, and it's only gonna get more frequent. It's only gonna become more common." I'm right again!

Parents tend to love their children. They make nice sugary treats for the kids that burn a thousand calories an hour (hopefully). The bubble that these wanna be dictators are in is impenetrable from reality it seems.

I prefer vegetarianism myself, but the reality is that most of the the contaminated food recalls that I've read (20 years worth) with lethal consequences come from produce. The first wookie wants all of you peons to have e.coli, the local pc rejects have their marching orders and go with it.

Private food supplies to be banned and only government produced Soylent Green to be issued from the federal food bank.

If I lived in Taxachussetts, I would advertise in the Newspapers for a bake sale (on my PRIVATE property) for August 2nd, 2012, with the proceeds going to whatever area school club or sports league that dared send a representative parent to attend and collect the proceeds....and in BIG BOLD PRINT.....dare the State to close me down or better yet, send any law enforcement agent to serve me with a notice to cease and desist.

I would add this challenge: "Go ahead, you central-planning, nanny-statist, big-gubmint, elitists, make my day!"

Do you have unlimited funds to carry you through several years of litigation? When a government bureaucrat decides to make an example of you, you can literally spend millions of dollars in legal fees before you even get to a jury.

Consider Michael and Chantell Sackett. They just wanted to build on their vacant lot in Idaho. In 2007, the EPA decided to call their vacant lot a wetland and prohibited them from building on it. It took them over four years and a ruling by the Supreme Court just to get the right to sue the EPA.

Oh, they will outlaw so called “food hoarding” when stuff gets bad and they will blame the “preppers” for the high food prices....

Then they will have a program where if you turn in your conservative neighbor for “food hoarding” you get a but of the food.

Dark days lie before us.

Some places ban home-cooked items from office parties now too. There’s no end to do-gooderism.

Hmmm...maybe it’s time for an updated “Dan’s Bake Sale”...something like a “Patriot’s Bake Sale”?

Bake sales work, people like to buy tasty things to eat.

Would never have the same success selling veggies, tofu and rice cakes.
