Hallelujah! Judge Stands Up to Progressives!

[IlarMeilyr]

Liberals outwaged by judge's wuling!

They DEMAND to have Mayor McNanny tell them what size bottles of sugary beverages they are permitted to consume.

In related news, liberals demand that the Nanny McGovernment tell them what time they may stay up until at night.

Will all of the obese conservatives gorge themselves on sugary sodas now like they did with Chick Filet and chicken sandwiches? Got to be one of the greatest marketing tools ever. If you own a company that sells products that are bad for your health just say something to get liberals all hot and bothered and the obese conservative herd will boost your sales.

Most likely. Nothing says "conservative" like being a fat cow that does nothing but bitch about "da libs" and collecting welfare checks.

Do you really want to bring "fat cows" into this? Most American liberal women are exactly that.
The propensity for looking like livestock is definitely a Democrat thing.

Make up your mind- I thought they were all vegan faddist ex-hippy health nut Euro-socialists lol

 

[Nole]

how far conservatism has fallen. When you celebrate the denouncing of a silly law that has no chance of becoming legal in the long run, you might have hit rock bottom.

Dont you all have other things to be proud of today, or is this it?


Personally, I have a little one on the way in June, god willing. My wife and I have agreed that we will quit soda all together and we wont allow our child to go there maybe until hitting double digits. Mainly from a tooth decay aspect and obviously a health stand point as well. This law was stupid. I would liken this Mayor to Rand Paul, both are looking for press, good or bad. Loser douche packer politicians.

The right wingers already came for the fries,...Remember "freedom fries" and "freedom toast"?

Quitting sugar is a wise choice.

But it should be YOUR choice, not Mayor McNanny's.

Well dude...try opening your eyes a bite. Don't go try making it just the conservative herd. Ive seem many of the ones with the problem of obesity out there on the left too. And they were just as mad. So watch who you blame.

 

[Goodoledays]

This is good news, i thought they may go after six-packs of beer next.

Please keep it down. Don't be giving them any ideas. They don't think very good and go by what they hear or read. So be careful.

Conservatives sure do have a love/hate relationship with those unelected judges don't they?

The fattest states in the country are in the old South.

Judge tosses Mayor Bloomberg’s ban on large sugary sodas one day before it goes into effect
Mayor says U.S. has an obesity problem which must be addressed. Judge says the ban was arbitrary.


A judge has invalidated Mayor Bloomberg's controversial plan to ban large sugary drinks from restaurants and other eateries, one day before the new law was to take effect.

State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling in Manhattan ruled the new regulation was “arbitrary and capricious” and declared it invalid, after several soda and business groups had sued the city challenging the ban.

Mayor Bloomberg had touted the ban as a way to reduce obesity. But beverage manufacturers and business groups had called the law an illegal overreach that would infringe upon consumers' personal liberty.

I'm glad. I always thought it was a bad case of government overreach.....

Now if we can cure other forms of government overeach like abortion, gay marriage, euthanasia and wanting loved ones to get government permission on pulling the plug on a loved one.

When I heard that woman screaming on the Don Lemon Show, "Paranoid, Paranoid, you're all scared and paranoid --- we must protect the children."

I went outside with my 12 gauge and put 00 buckshot through a tree stump.

LEMON: So starting Tuesday in New York City, Dunkin Donuts will put the sugar in your coffee if it's a medium. But if your order large coffee, you have to put it in yourself.

OK, Jerry, I mean do you find this ridiculous?

JERRY DOYLE, SYNDICATED RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: I find it ridiculous that Mayor Bloomberg -- if you remember back in 2010, they put out the healthy heroin brochure. I think they spent like $35,000 for 70,000 brochures and there were 16 steps that they told you, you needed to take in order to be healthy when you're doing heroin. And Bloomberg said, look, if you're going to do certain things, you might as well do them as healthy as possible.

I would have to think the same would apply to a sugary beverage as it would to heroin or in reverse, don't do sugary beverages, don't do heroin. So I find it a little odd that the mayor decided to take a firm stand on soda and not heroin.

LEMON: David, listen, we know sugar isn't bad, we know that it's not bad for you. After all, your book is called "the nanny state." I mean, is the mayor looking out for us or for people who can't look out for themselves?

DAVID HARSANYI, EDITOR, HUMAN EVENTS: You know, I'm sure his intentions are good. But you know, first of all, they're ineffective laws. What they do though, they reflect how government thinks they have a right to involve themselves in your life in every aspect. So, it reflects something larger, I think, that's corroding our government because they are busy trying to tell us what to drink rather than taking care of real problems almost everywhere across the country.

LEMON: OK. Wendy, you're the human behavior --

WENDY WALSH, PSYCHOLOGIST: Can I get in there, Don?

LEMON: Yes.

WALSH: Ok.

LEMON: Maybe people need to be saved. Go ahead, Wendy.

WALSH: OK. Here's what you should know. In our anthropological past, there were some trace nutrients -- they were sugar, salt and fat. And we have an unfettered desire and craving for these things that many of us actually can't control.

But modern capitalist America has capitalized on that and made sure that they put large dose of that in everything they give us. So how can we be making free choice when we're addicted? We are addicted to everything from sex and gambling to salt, sugar and fat.

Unless, you think this is a nanny state, what this is, is finally consumer protection. Remember, we don't have socialism here. We have neo-capital - sorry, neo-futilism. We are about 20 grams --

(CROSSTALK)

LEMON: Who is that? I don't know if it was David or Jerry -- someone went -- who was that?

DOYLE: Both of us, I think.

HARSANYI: I think it was both of us.

LEMON: Go ahead, David, why?

HARSANYI: So, essentially what she's arguing is that you can coerce people now on any level because essentially we're addicted to everything, including sex. Well, if we are addicted to sex, as you just said, why don't we dictate promiscuity? Why are we allowed to do whatever we want in the bedroom? I mean, you know, there is no end to this. It's a slippery slope that has no end if we buy the idea that we can't control our choices and our behavior.

LEMON: Jerry --

WALSH: So, why not start somewhere?

LEMON: Before I let Jerry respond, I want to play devil's advocate here.

And Wendy, I'm going to be on your side here. A guy like Bloomberg, I mean maybe he's raising awareness. Remember Giuliani ten years ago, a lot of people thought the smoking ban went too far. Nowadays, a lot of New Yorkers seem to like it. So, maybe the soft drink thing, they'll like it and maybe will like the sugary -- maybe, they will like it and they'll realize this is good for me. I'm healthier now. Maybe their weight will go down and their health will get better.

Go ahead, Jerry.

DOYLE: It's I call the creeping incrementalism. It's easy to go after cigarettes, tobacco, gambling and drinking because that's the low-hanging fruit. But eventually they want to worm their way into every nook and cranny of your English muffin light.

Look. I smoke cigarette. It is really stupid. When you light something on fire and you breathe it in and your first reaction is to cough and shoot your eyeballs across the room it's probably not good for you. I pay a premium on my health insurance for that. I'm going to die sooner than I should. My life expectancy tables -- I actually cull myself from the herd and save the system money. It's my right to smoke a legal FDA-approved product. It's my right to drink soda. It's my right to eat fatty foods. It's my right to gamble. It's my right. It's my life. And if we start to take away the individual's ownership of their own lives, what, down the line, in creeping incrementalism does the government then say, they have the right to regulate?

LEMON: But, doesn't that affect other people? I mean.

WALSH: You guys are paranoid.

LEMON: Go ahead.

WALSH: Paranoid. OK. You are absolutely scared and paranoid. This is consumer protectionism. That's all this is.

DOYLE: Oh, come on.

WALSH: Let's protect children. Let's make sure that if you give a McDonald's toy, that there's enough vegetables and fruit in there. Let's figure out what are the reward systems that are biology craves and let's be careful that it's not exploited by corporations. That's all.

COME AT ME AUTHORITARIANS:

 

[Goodoledays]

First they came for the sugary sodas and I said nothing. Then they came for the Pork Rinds and I said nothing. Then they came for the french fries and I said nothing,............. I think you guys should include this saying in your party platform.

The right wingers already came for the fries,...Remember "freedom fries" and "freedom toast"?

And the left wingers were very similar. Only thing is it wasn't FREEDOM anything...its always been FREEBIES.

But it should be YOUR choice, not Mayor McNanny's.

As usual, brainwashed and off the rails- Nobody's taking everyone's guns, just background checks, and maybe no military style mega magazines. Only rational laws. Nobody should be drinking 32 oz. sugar or aspertame bombs.

Who are you to say what somebody should drink?

It's a David vs. Goliath victory.....

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The judiciary might be the last stand against self-righteous and nanny-state government. I would pray for the health and long life of the likes of Justice Scalia if I prayed.

More times than not, however, the judiciary is the enabler of it.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Relax, dupes, it's just the legal system working, and it's not finished. A great victory for obesity and diabetes today is all. America is fat, and obviously about 40% stupid and 7% greedy a-holes lol...cheap food is bad for you, and that should change...whole wheat, low sugar and non-poison costs twice as much.

There is a lot of evidence out there that whole wheat is causing all kinds of problems with people's health, asshat.

When did this thread become about guns, Captain Straw Man?

Nobody should be drinking 32 oz. sugar

It's none of your damn business what someone drinks, nor are you the authority on anyone else's lifestyle. You're living proof that so-called "liberals" are the antithesis of liberty. You're control hungry, authoritarian oppressors just like your totalitarian idols Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Pol Pot.
