As I was cooking steaks in my backyard on Father’s Day it occurred to me that somewhere some lefty was dreaming up a way to a) keep me from using coals that produce pollution, and b) keep me from eating beef because cow flatulence is harmful to the ozone. I have no doubt that this is happening as we speak in the addled cells where these people congregate.
My liberal friends always accuse conservatives of wanting to tell people how to live because they think babies in the womb have rights. But, as I explain, it’s not conservatives trying to tell you how to eat, drive, use certain light bulbs, think, etc. Here’s Ted Nugent’s take on that subject:
The entire agenda of the gazillion-dollar-financed joke known as PETA literally is dedicated to outlawing meat.
Neither I, nor any hunter or meat eater on the planet, has any desire whatsoever to influence any vegetarian’s choice of diet or to force them to eat meat. We are the friendly, tolerant Americans.
And this:
Our own intrepid opinion editor at the Trib, my friend John Young, doesn’t want to simply make the choice to be unarmed and helpless for himself. He has again recently insisted that you and I must also comply with his soulless condition of unarmed helplessness in “gun-free zones.”
Nobody from our side wants to force anybody to have a gun or defend themselves. It is us, the conservatives, who are for individual choice.
And, to sum up:
While conservatives “live and let live,” the left arrogantly thinks it knows better than we do and will burden “we the people” with more government control until we are taxed to death.
Watch them. Listen, pay attention and blow whistles.
Educate your family, neighbors, friends, co-workers and hunting buddies on how dangerous such control is against the American Dream of individual pursuit of happiness.
Throw off the shackles of government-run slavery. Stand up for individual independence. Enough is enough.
I wish Bruce Springsteen had this much sense.
