There go our rights!
Illinois is joining other States who tromp on the rights of their citizens, but it’s ok because they are the minority. Funny how that argument didn’t fly for women’s suffrage, or civil rights activists. Granted the subject, tobacco, for which the state law makers are currently discussing banning, is not especially healthy , or popular, it still is constitutes the loss of a right that we Americans should not stand for.

This is the second step in the big brother knows best type of governmental policies which are more proletariat then freedom loving Americans deserve. The first being the seatbelt law.

They are taking your right to choose for yourself away from you, one small issue at a time.

Where will it stop?

Meat contains fat, which clogs arteries, causing taxpayers millions of dollars in medical treatments. Maybe our lawmakers should start a sin tax on meat, and meat products, until it becomes too expensive and unpopular for the average American to purchase, then one state at a time they can ban that too.

Sugars are making us fat….

On and on it goes…

They are making a mockery of our constitution and bill of rights. Two documents which my forefathers fought and died for, and which separates us from all the other people in the world. I fear that Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin, would be terribly disappointed in us, if they could see us now.

Then one day the second amendment on the chopping block, and it’ll be too late by then because the government will, by then, have all it’s little sheep trained to believe it knows best. Remember people when they take that one way you will be forever powerless to stop them from making little socialist robots out of us all!
