I had so much to say about this. But I read the posts of my fellow FReepers first. It’s all been said.

Except......

The typical American (Low info voter) has been hearing this type of thing now for so long, that the idea of a federal government hell bent on controlling the behavior of its subjects is no longer any big deal, let alone egregious.

This is the antithesis of freedom.

You didn't get the memo?

That photo is "old Skool"

New updated photo:

enjoy...

Calling the ghost of Ayne Rand. Please send us John Galt. Apparently, your fictional story about the value of individualism and freedom was actually a sort of prophecy.

Prepare for the rolling blackouts, comrades!

Is sticking a wick in Oprah an acceptable renewable energy plan?

[DustyMoment]

The "new energy future" will require the federal government to encourage "the right kinds of behavior," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told a clean energy summit in Nevada on Tuesday. "When you are getting into a new energy future, you really benefit from having the support of states -- and the federal government encouraging the right kinds of behavior and encouraging those incentives (for solar panel installation), she said.

Here it comes, folks. The re-education camps will soon be open for those who don't conform to the new energy "behaviors".

Translation - New energy "behaviors" mean we are supposed to become accustomed to blackouts, brownouts and other effects of "renewable" energy. It also means that we are supposed to ignore the laughter from the rest of the world because we are becoming a nation of ignoramuses buying into this "renewable" energy crapola.

Yes, the new version is clearly an improvement. I promise to be more careful in the future. ;)

BTW that photo is my own creation and stored on my site. Hotlink it at will or copy it for your own.

This is what really steams me! I hate to use the old frog-in-the-pot parable but that is what is happening here. Hardly anyone remmebers toilets that work well, and now we have many other appliances (washers, dishwashers, etc.) that don’t work worth a diddle and are horribly expensive and detergents that don’t clean. Instead of blaming the enviro-fascists, the EPA, and liberals, people blame the companies making these products. It’s infuriating!

I didn't consider that. But I have to agree. I sold a toilet that was manufactured in the 1980s for my father. He was amazed at how much people were willing to buy it for. It was in perfect shape and had been properly removed and stored for almost 25 years. It was nothing special except it WAS NOT the low flow toilet. It would flush a matchbox car into the city sewer just fine.

The only right thinking I am interested in is government thinking that celebrates personal freedom.

Don’t forget those who leave the bathroom without turning off the light.

If they pass a law about leaving lights on in the house, I might turn my own children it.

Rats, I wish you had sold it to me. As far as I know, people can still buy full-flush toilets in Canada and full-water usage washers and dishwashers in Mexico.

I tried to convince one of my sons to pursue a career as a toilet smuggler, but he became a scientist insteas. Sad, really. ;-)

ain’t freedom grand?

[Tenacious 1]

Rats, I wish you had sold it to me.

I may or may not have another one that is waiting on the build-out of my basement. ;O)

Oh the irony of an AGW demagogue being the spittin' image of the Snow Miser.

Sing along!

There are supposed to be oil deposits a plenty all over the country and off-shore as well that would keep us swimming in the stuff from now to doomsday but we can’t touch it because of ‘’the environment’’. Oil is the most precious resource of a free people and the ‘’environmentalists(Marxists/communists’’) know it. Limit or deny free people of this resource and you make a free people and a free nation less so.

[Pining_4_TX]

Keep a fellow Freeper in mind! :-)

I already told my mother-in-law that all I wanted out of an inheritance was her old-school toilets and appliances.

Wish I had our original Sears washer and dryer back. They lasted 20 years, and we have gone through newer ones a lot faster, and each generation of appliances works less well than the previous one.

Someone once said what is the difference between taxing and regulating someone so much that they can’t afford to move or travel and telling them that they can’t?

Tyranny exists in many forms.

Thanks for reminding me that I have some old car tires to burn... ;-)
