“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Do as I say, not as I do


Out of one side of her mouth, Michelle Obama lectures Americans about health and fitness, tries to dictate restaurant-food content, and is trying to limit by law, portion size, while out of the other, she provides the following menu for her Superbowl party guests....

From Yahoo -- bratwurst, kielbasa, cheeseburgers, deep-dish pizza and Buffalo wings with sides of German potato salad, twice-baked potatoes and assorted chips and dips.

Does that sound like healthy party food to you? It's OK for the President's bitter half to serve crap to her guests but we little people should feel guilty about eating it.

Look, I think it's a good project for the first lady to advocate good health, exercise, and good nutrition, but it should end with advocacy. When she has government agencies write rules that limit consumer choices, interfere in perfectly legal activities, or otherwise treat the citizenry like 3 year olds who are too stupid to make the "correct" choices for ourselves, then she's gone too far. And the hypocrisy of serving junk food while pushing healthy nutrition down our throats is laughable.
