Radical leftists aren't trying to control every move you make? After 40+ years it might be time for the old Captain to pick up a weapon again. When they start telling me what I can and can't do in my own home, with a LEGAL substance, it's time for me to say trespassers will will shot. Survivors will be shot again. And no, I don't smoke, but I just may start again just to snuff the butt out in some leftist motherfuckers face. The town of San Rafael, Calif., has passed a ban on smoking that city officials have called the most stringent in the nation. The new ordinance makes it illegal for residents to smoke in their own homes if they share a wall with another dwelling. The ban applies to owners and renters alike, and it covers condominiums, co-ops, apartments and any multi-family residence containing three or more units. http://gma.yahoo.com/california-town-bans-smoking-condos-apartments-share-walls-172256834.html BTW, This is the reason that gun owners are so suspicious of what leftists call "reasonable restrictions". Smoking bans started out with reasonable restrictions, and now have grown to the point where smoking is almost impossible to do anywhere, even your own home.
By: Tim Graham | November 22, 2013, 10:04 ET The Washington Post created an entire special section to the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, but on page AA-6, they embraced mythology instead of history. The Post excerpted leftist professor Bill Minutaglioâs book arguing the right-wingers killed JFK. The excerpt had no admission that Lee Harvey Oswald, the real killer, was a communist. The author claimed to NPR in October that Oswald was malleable, "he had to be shaped by this almost civic hysteria in Dallas." In the paper, the headlined was âIn 1963, the roots of a paranoid right.â Online, it was blunter: âTea Party has roots in the Dallas of 1963.â It doesnât matter that this movement was born in 2009...

NANNY STATE ALERT! The attorneys general in seven states are suing the EPA, trying to force the Federal government to begin regulating residential wood burning. And if theyâre successful, the regulations wonât just apply in those seven states, theyâll apply everywhere. from CNS: A lawsuit filed against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by seven states is seeking to force the federal agency to impose stringent new regulations on residential wood-burning heaters, which they claim âcan increase particle pollution to levels that cause significant health concerns.â The lawsuit, filed last month in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the attorneys general of Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont, is directed against currently unregulated âindoor and outdoor wood boilers,â which have become an increasingly popular way to heat homes, particularly in rural areas. A related suit was filed by the environmental group Earthjustice. The U.S. Census Bureauâs 2011 American Housing Survey (AHS) reported that 2.4 million housing units â or 12 percent of all American homes - now burn wood as their main heating fuel, compared to 7 percent heated with fuel oil. Although wood is a renewable resource, âEPA estimates that outdoor wood boilers will produce more than 20 percent of wood burning emissions by 2017,â the lawsuit claims. If the lawsuit is successful in forcing EPA to impose new regulations on wood-burning heating units, many low- and middle-class families living primarily in rural areas may be forced to spend thousands of dollars to switch to newer units or use more expensive forms of energy in order to stay warm....
from Portland Tribune: Verenice Gutierrez picks up on the subtle language of racism every day. Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year. âWhat about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?â says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portlandâs Cully neighborhood. âAnother way would be to say: âAmericans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?â Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.â Guitierrez, along with all of Portland Public Schoolsâ principals, will start the new school year off this week by drilling in on the language of âCourageous Conversations,â the district-wide equity training being implemented in every building in phases during the past few years. Through intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives, the premise is that if educators can understand their own âwhite privilege,â then they can change their teaching practices to boost minority studentsâ performance. Last Wednesday, the first day of the school year for staff, for example, the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation â to examine a news article and discuss the âwhite privilegeâ it conveys. Most of the staff are on board, but there is some opposition to a drum class being offered to middle school boys of color at Scott School...
Noel Ignatiev, a professor at Massachusetts College of Art, has for years advocated the total elimination of Caucasians. During his final lecture before retirement last Monday, he told his white male students "you donât deserve to live. You are a cancer, youâre a disease."
