Do This, Don’t Do That|Is That Your Mother Or Your Government

Government Rule

When the government starts banning what we can and cannot do, they have gone too far.

Did you know that different states across America have banned your rights to do or use certain things?   American rights are being violated and yet no one is protesting.    Our freedom is at stake but citizens are complacent, they aren’t speaking up or pushing back.   Have Americans become such drones that they are ignorant of what government rule looks like or how it starts?   Or have Americans just become lazy?

Government Rule Starts Small

A government ban on such a minor thing like flavored cigarettes or air freshener may seem frivolous and unimportant in the scheme of things; but that’s not the point.

The point is that when your government bans or prevents you from using something, they are violating your rights, your freedom.   The government is seizing more and more control over your life when they impose a ban.   Don’t you care that the government can tell you what you can and cannot do?

It’s Just The Beginning

  • Air fresheners and candles are in the process of being banned from public places in Nevada if the bill passes.
  • No more fast food chains in southern Los Angeles, California.
  • Flavored cigarettes are banned.
  • You cannot pump your own gas in New Jersey and Oregon.
  • You cannot swim without a life vest in the state of Washington.
  • Plastic bags in LA county, California will no longer exist.
  • You will no longer be able to get soda out of a vending machine in San Francisco, California.
  • Dry cleaning solvent is banned in California.

No Skin Off Your Nose

You may think it’s okay for the government to ban these things because they are not things that you personally use, so you slough it off.   You’d better care.   If the government is allowed to keep going without any push back from us, they will eventually start to ban the bigger, more important things.   Someday they may even ban something that you find important.

Would you start to care if the government told you how to raise your children, where you can or cannot live, whether or not you can practice your religion?   How about if the government seized your property or your children…you might care then…but at that point, it’s too late.

Watch Out America

The liberals are so good at deception that you are unaware of their deceit.   They make you think they are doing things for your best interest when in reality it’s simply to gain control over you.   The more the government can control what you do, the more power they have over you….that’s the beginning of socialism….do you care now?

If America were still a free country, wouldn’t you be able to decide for yourself if you wanted to wear a life vest or not, or pump your own gas?
