A Commentary by GP McClure

I have discovered a secret of life: Living is hazardous to your health.

It appears that simple living can kill you. So, in the minds of some individuals one must be miserable and useless in order to live. Take for example the latest craze: Hotdogs causes cancer. It appears that if one were to eat a hotdog, one will die of cancer. So in order to destroy this menace the following actions are being taken by some "concerned" groups. These actions include suing hotdog manufacturers into putting warning labels on their packaging. Of course this won't stop there, the next step is prohibit the selling of hotdogs at ballgames and outing events.

Think for a moment, you take your family to a ballgame and order three hotdogs, and you receive them. You bite into that luscious meat and it tastes like… tofu. Of course that is exactly what it is. You complain, only to discover that meat hotdogs are now illegal and unfit for human consumption, according to some bureaucrat in the government. Another freedom lost.

The way of the world is tyranny, it always has been. The one country that has proven to be the exception is the United States. Now that is changing. We have now elected politicians that want to enslave us, force us to worship them, all in the name of compassion.

What a bunch of horse manure. Since when is it the governments responsibly to tell me how to live? The tax code already does that. Now we are to bow down to some idiot in Washington and kiss his feet because he graduated from Harvard? I don't think so, and neither should you.

I find it ironic that individuals who want, and force, you to live by the standards they create, are themselves immune from such standards. They are too good to live under such laws, but since you, you do not know what is good for you, only they can save you from yourself.

This country was built on individual freedom. Individual responsibility. Those who want the government to take care of them are spineless liberals, adults who never grew out of childhood. Telling us that hotdogs are bad for us, will kill us, is a step too far. But, the courts will side with this group of slave masters and force us to accept their mandates. This will lead to another devastating attack on our country. Your children will suffer because of these actions. Is that what you want? Or do you want freedom and liberty for your children?

You must make the choice, fight these monsters, the monsters that want to enslave you, or capitulate to their desires. Only one choice can exist, only choice can survive. Which will it be?
