A spit in the eye to James Madison, who stated in the ‘Federalist,’ the greatest of all reflections on human nature…that "human beings are not angels.”

To the letter!


2. And therein we find the impetus for Progressive/Liberal government....it always knows what is best for the rest of us!
Of course, that is why we find terms like 'banned,' or 'mandated,' prominent in their pronouncements.


3. Now, the extent to which those bannings and mandates are enforced, depends on
factors such as where they take place....different nations and peoples allow for different levels of compulsion.

a. Take the former Soviet Union.... gulags, psychiatric hospitals, and firing squads.
b. One need not go into the methods of Hitler's Germany.
c. Although one can think of an example of rounding up people based on their race, America does not have a culture that sanctions that level of compulsion.

Dictators dictate.

Folks like you, bow.

where is the dictatorship? is it dictatorship merely to change rules using powers granted by laws crafted and passed by our representatives?

So....you aren't disagreeing that this thread exposes dictatorship...you're simply asking "well, what's wrong with that?"

Excellent.

The post of a well-trained Liberal subject: brook no disagreement!


J.L.Talmon has written to describe the world that you are perfectly willing to accept.

The latest variation of totalitarianism is neither religious, nor even political: it is cultural. “Totalitarian democracy” is a term made famous by J. L. Talmon to refer to a system of government in which lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state whose citizens, while granted the right to vote, have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the government.

Y'know, Liberals all have that willingness to accept criticism, and disagreement. 'Tolerance' is the Liberal way.

Brings to mind another Liberal....Walter Mondale...

"Dan Rostenkowski, standing next to the candidate in front of the cameras and the cheering crowd at the convention after the fateful speech, whispered to Mondale, "You've got a lot of balls, pal." According to Rostenkowski, Mondale whispered back, "Look at 'em, we're going to tax their ass off."

Woodrow Wilson has always gotten my vote for worst president ever simply because he spent his entire term paving the way for future Marxists to continue the destruction of America. His sellout with the creation of the Federal Reserve gave us the controlling 1% and making income tax permanent went far to solve what the left saw as a problem that the constitution, namely that it didn't allow for the redistribution of wealth. Some, like Obama, whine about that to this day, though they shamelessly ignore the fact that they don't have the power to do as they want to us. Dems always think like lawyers, mainly because most of them are lawyers, and their specialty is getting around things that prevent them from doing as they please. Both of those monumental changes by Wilson undermined our constitution and liberals have been continuing to destroy it ever since.

Of course Wilson dreamed of a dictatorship and that same dream has carried the left to the point we are at now. Finally, after decades of socialist ideas that are doomed to eventual failure, enough people have become dependent on government through their programs and will continue to vote for more money from the tax payers. This is straight from the rule book for radicals. Virtually everything done by liberal presidents has been from the same handbook. Never mind that no country has ever survived those policies and once the fundamental transformation takes place, it's all downhill from there. The thought of being a ruler is too tempting for the liberals and their narcissistic minds cause them to believe that they truly are better suited to make all decisions on behalf of all the people. Only those with no ambition, complete lack of historical knowledge and no informed opinions go along with ceding all power to the elitists who will promise to care for them in exchange for shredding the Bill of Rights.

Despite liberal policies exacerbating the very problems they claim to want to cure, ignorant people still believe that more of the same is the answer. Looking at some of the responses here, it's clear some don't get it. I see jokes and indication that people like being controlled, for their own good of course. Those of us who are completely capable of leading our own lives will always fight against the oppressive policies. It amazes me how some are so ignorant and codependent that they don't feel like they are suffocating when liberals micromanage their lives.

but the gubbamint wasnt choosing the gubbamint school menu BEFORE they wanted it to be healthier

Last time I remember going to school was to get an education, not a meal.

These people like telling us what to do. That's the problem. Like we aren't smart enough to make our own choices. What kind of mind-numb worker drones do they think they're churning out of the education system???

Nutrition Standards for School Meals Food and Nutrition Service

 

[NYcarbineer]

I enjoy the fact that you can get salads at schools now...

We could get them all throughout my schooling years. We could substitute our fruit or dessert for salad. Not a lot of people did it though. I would whenever we had pear halves for fruit or cherry cobbler for dessert. A lot of this "Oh Michelle Obama is a dictator" stuff really is nonsense. It has more to do with your local school system's budget/policies than what Michelle has dictated to schools.

Wrong, dummy....Michelle is but ONE of the dictators.

Stay tuned....get the education that you've missed.

Can you list her dictatorial powers?

Dont you know that shes a Dictator who shares Dictator powers with other Dictators lmao. I know, I know you're saying "But CC Dictators dont share Dictatorship" dont worry about that tho....just pretend words dont mean things and you'll be fine

"....just pretend words dont mean things...."
You seem to make a habit of putting both feet in your mouth.

These 'words' are in several of the posts....


"new school lunch nutrition rules'
“onerous requirements
the rules heralded by the first lady,
unintended consequences of the current federal regulations..
rigid and unrealistic federal mandates
menus ordered by Michelle Obama and the Agriculture Department,
the new standards

Sounds like they are dictated, huh?



Liberals: ruling over the collective.
Happy days!

Where are the dictatorial powers?

You're talking about the Federal free or reduced cost lunch program and the Federal government imposing some rules on those districts who choose to take the free lunches.

You object to conditions?

You, the same person who was ranting once about food stamp recipients supposedly using their food stamps for purchases not within the program rules?

Which is it? Federal money should have conditions attached to it? Or Federal money should come with no strings attached?

Make up your mind.

good lord you're dumb.

what i was saying is that exercising power granted to a body by our elected officials is a pretty far cry from dictatorship.

it's like talking to a brick wall - a brick wall with a copy/paste function.
