Funny you should mention Solzhenitsyn. I’m reading The Red Wheel 1914 now. It was written in Vermont BTW. He frequently mentions “Hope” and “Change” as a motivating factor in the Russian revolution. It’s interesting that the American revolution was about taxes and individual liberty.

Halloween? Really? Legislating holidays is a big sign that our liberal illuminati candidate is law-happy.

Excellent post. It reminds me greatly of the last two or three chapters of Francis Schaeffer’s “How Then Shall We Live?”.

omgucbs, keep drinking the kool aid! The article was about government expansion and used a local example of how far the Omessiah may go. The U.S. Constitution envisions a limited government as do most state constitutions, however there are those that believe that government is necessary. Apparently you fall into the large intrusive government group.

The real issue at hand is that our interpreting the constitution and laws judiciary has contributed to making the citizens much less safe. This allows politicians to get away with proposing laws that will never be enforced but will make the politician feel good.

Get ready because the U.S. has met the enemy and it is us. Pogo was right as was Barnum.

“In Belleville, Illinois, the City Council passed an ordinance that restricted trick-or-treating to children under the age of 13 and between the hours of 4-11 p.m. That trick-or-treating is an entirely voluntary recreational activity (for both parties) is immaterial; the Council decided that the Law must intervene. Apparently turning out the porchlight is no longer adequate to end the night.

Welcome to the future with Barack Obama!”

Oh my God, Mr. Birdnow, you can’t be serious. I do believe this is what is called a mighty stretch. A CITY council passes an ordinance that calls for a curfew, and you blame Obama and stretch that into what will he will do to the country? Ridiculous and utter garbage. You conveniently left out the provision for the sex offenders also. Some residents obviously have not felt safe. The public had done nothing so it is left to the “leaders” of the community to take care of things. The problem here is not the ordinance but the reasons it was deeemed necessary. The direction our country and society has taken has led to the destruction of the family unit. The fact that residents felt unsafe is what you should be concerned with. You need to be able to see the real issue at hand instead of your reactionary positioned based on partisan politics and just plain ignorance.

Oh yeah, and I see that Mickey G. is still contributing to the case of his inability to respond intellectually. Keep at Mick.

But the Omessiah is going to pay my mortgage and for my gas or is he going to make me pay someone elses mortgage and gas?
