I am so tired of the nanny state telling us what we can't do and have to do. We've got politicians who think they know what's best for us... telling us that we can't eat products with "too much" salt in them.... or trying to ban certain foods and drinks (lately, Bloomberg wanting to outlaw sugary drinks of a certain size.) And of course police shutting down kids' lemonade stands and girl scouts selling their cookies.
Where is this going to stop?
And sadly, it's even encroached on helping others - many locations are outlawing giving food to the needy - some places even arresting those that are trying to help others. For what purpose does the government not want us to help others?

Well, guess what!?!?!? I will NOT comply! I will keep our soup kitchens and food pantries open and will do everything I can do to stop this tyrannical madness!

That's not a nanny state - that's thousands of years of common sense.
But you don't get it do you... the ProRegressives are stopping us from helping others.... the same group that demands the destruction of the family. It's no coincidence.

I think you don't get it. You only have a problem with the government restricting freedoms when it is you they are restricting. When they restrict freedom in such a way that supports your personal bias then it's all good

And you're wrong (again.)
Although the USA has never been perfect, the USA was built on the principles of Godly righteousness - those principles are under attack by the ProRegressives.
I will NOT comply!!!

I'm wrong because you don't like it?
you can't just pick and choose where government gets to interfere in the private lives of it's citizens. Either it can or it can't. Obviously you think it can so you get what you deserve.

Wrong again...
A government can interfere between a person trying to kill or steal from another person. If a government can't interfere at all, then there is no government.
Government is necessary, but must be limited. Telling me that I cannot help another person is well beyond those limits.

as is a government telling people who they can share their lives with. Nothing more basic to life than that.

Actually, right and wrong are more basic than that... but then again those people who say that there are no absolutes... no real right and wrong don't understand that.
Edit: And no "life" can come from certain "relationships."

there is nothing more tyrannical than a government imposing a particular religion on it's populace
but then you wouldn't see it like that would you. Because you pick and choose where you accept government interference in the private lives of it's citizens. And as long as it goes along with your personal world view all is good.

God's law is tyrannical? Common sense is tyrannical? Calling good evil and evil good.... You just continue to prove the Bible correct (not that I doubted it...)

no, a government imposing a religion is tyrannical. Surely even you can see the difference?

Government controlling religion is tyrannical. The USA was built on the Christian religion, but it didn't mandate it. Most of the laws of the nation stemmed from the Bible. That is NOT tyrannical.
Oh, and by the way - take a look at each and every state constitution - they ALL mention God.
Yea, yea... I know you want God removed from society.... and that's not considered tyrannical by the ProRegressives.... Not allowed to help another... and that's okay too....
I will NOT comply!!!

I've never said any such thing. I don't know why you can't have a conversation without resulting to personal insults when you are challenged.

"The USA was built on the Christian religion"
Wrong. Dead wrong. Does the Treaty of Tripoli ring a bell?? "The United States of America was not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
President Adams then made a statement: Now be it known, That I John Adams, President of the United States of America, having seen and considered the said Treaty do, by and with the advice ond consent of the Senate, accept, ratify, and confirm the same, and every clause and articles thereof. And to the End that the said Treaty may be observed, and performed with the good Faith on the part of the United States, I have ordered the premises to be made public; And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office civil or military within the United States, and all other citizens or inhabitants thereof, faithfully to observe and full the said Treaty and every clause and article thereof.
One of the driving reasons behind the revolution was religious persecution. They saw first hand how destructive it can be........and tyrannical. You personify all that they revolted against.
And the ONLY reason the god is on our money, in our pledge of allegiance and anywhere related to our government is because of the McCarthyism red scare. Out of fear of communism, those self righteous politicians didn't want America to seem 'godless' so they stuck it on our money and changed the pledge of allegiance. Now THAT is intrusive and tyrannical government. And YOU follow it step by step.
You'd be the first "Tori House" the founding fathers burned down, Bam.
Target that explosion and FIRE!
