Massachusetts is poised to become the first state in the nation to force retailers to prominently display graphic warnings about the perils of smoking right where cigarettes are sold — at tobacco sales racks and next to cash registers.
That's fine and dandy, now perhaps now they should also hang posters all around the country, (covering the Northeast and West Coast in particular) informing them all that "Liberalism is a mental disorder", thus warning children and adults alike of its potentially devastating Nanny State manifestation bringing a painful death filled with telling others what to do while doing anything you want.
THEN these do-gooders have the 2 of the 3 biggest killers of young bodies and minds across America covered, smoking and practicing penis shrinking liberalism.
Graphic tobacco posters
Images of ominously darkened lungs, damaged brains, and diseased teeth could start appearing before the end of the year in more than 9,000 convenience stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, if a proposal by the state Department of Public Health is approved as expected.
Other posters would direct smokers to where they can get help to stamp out their habit.Retailers who refuse to display the signs within 2 feet of tobacco displays and cash registers could face fines of $100 to $300.A retail industry group reacted yesterday with dismay, arguing that cramped corner stores are already burdened by too many regulatory dictums.

You gave me an idea, Ray: The "liberalism kills" poster should have an xray of a head with a pile of crap where the brain should be.
ReplyDeleteWe'll work on that one.... These people are mor frightening each day Kurt.....
ReplyDeleteMeant to say also that your idea is terrific Ray. Kids are being indoctrinated in schools with the left's ideaologies every single day. Some schools even have TV's in their classrooms with news designed and produced geared toward them; and it's not the greatest.
ReplyDeleteI smoked for 20 years so I know what it's about but I don't believe in telling other people what to do with their own lives except when it comes to the unborn who need us to defend them ... It's ironic that the very thing that introduced entrepenurial spirit in America was the farming and selling of tobacco....
ReplyDeleteFunny too how the same people who hate cigarettes love marijuana and they're both God's products and tobacco isn't a weed, pot is.. that says a lot too about the left, they just hate Big Tobacco ....they hate 'big" anything....unless it's big welfare checks...
We lost control over the past two decades, Christian right was really asleep at the wheel in many ways but this teaching profession has been completely hijacked by the left and the only way to correct it at this juncture is to bust the unions which is gonna be hard. Unions were meant to protect people from slave wages in third world conditions, not to make sure every dick and dumb A** makes $40 an hour doing regular work. I know, I used to make over a $100.000 a year running freaking printing presses, we made more than the management at many of the places I worked and that's why I never strayed onto the business side while degreed, I made more money.
ReplyDeleteBut now it's haunting me in a way since I can't just switch into management after a 10 year hiatus and more experience running the plants than the boardrooms.
