Democrats want to control every part of your life. Well, almost every part.

Thanks to Nicky Cheese for pointing out that parts of Australia already have recycling police equipped with headlamps, no less. But don’t worry, folks, they are only allowed to lift the lid on your trash can. They can’t legally rummage through your trash. That’s very comforting. When will they want to come into your house to inspect your waste baskets?
I opined before that Republicans want to govern and Democrats want to rule.( ”Conservatives voting for Obama? I think it’s a bad idea.” July 27th, 2008, Category: Elections, this website) Don’t think the Libs want total control?
J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Chief, remarked that everything a Communist does is to further Communism. Now most “Progressives,” the new word for Liberals, would deny that their roots are firmly in the Communist tradition, but let’s look for a moment at their beliefs and their desires.
For Progressives, everything is a political act. Eating is political. No trans fats, no red meat. Eat only organic foods. Fish have feelings, too. Smoking is a horrible sin. Dressing is political. No leather. No fur. Buy nothing made with non-union labor. Your job is political. Working in the corporate world is discouraged by the Obamas. Remember Ward Churchill’s “little Eichmans” remark about World Trade Center victims?
Transportation is political. Liberals want everyone to to use mass transit, like the “sophisticated” Europeans. Gas guzzlers are horrible. Remember how gas prices have gone up with Liberal control of Congress. (If you want to be scared, look at gas prices in sophisticated Europe.)
Drilling for oil is bad. It’s better to check our tire inflation and continue to depend upon Arab oil for the foreseeable future than it is to tap our own considerable resources.
Nuclear power is bad, even though France gets 75% of its electricity from the dirty, evil, smelly, vile, nasty, dangerous, abominable, demonic, unprogressive atom. French atomic power, however, is, how shall I say it, so, cosmopolitan, so urbane, so French!
Wind power is good, although those wind farms seem to kill off a lot of eagles and other raptors. (Damned unintended consequences! You know, shoot-from-the-hip “Change” isn’t always a beneficial thing.) Solar is good. Coal is bad. Actually, it seems that only U.S. coal is bad. China and India appear to get a pass on the Kyoto Protocols. Indian and Chinese coal is good!
How you get information is political. NPR and PBS are good. Mainstream, liberal, big city newspapers are good. ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN News are good sources. Fox News-BAD! Talk radio is bad and needs to be controlled to give liberals more of a voice. They haven’t figured out how to regulate the Net, yet. Give them a little time, Obama in the White House, and a solid majority in the U.S. Senate and I’ll bet you they’ll find a way.
Speech must be suppressed on college campuses to prevent “hate” speech, which is basically anything that is “non-progressive.” In Europe and Canada, governments imprison people for denying the Holocaust. (I personally believe you would have to be mentally defective to deny the Holocaust. I have seen Dachau.) However, imprisoning people for their beliefs and statements smacks of witch hunts and burning flesh, even if it is in the name of repressing “hate” speech. As much as the Left likes the President of Iran, you would think they would have a bone to pick with him about the Holocaust, but then there are are a lot of contradictions in the minds of the Liberal Elites.
Of course, the Libs want to regulate/ban guns. To Bill Johnson, Denver columnist, handguns are an abomination. I wonder if he has thought about hiring an exorcist to drive out the evil spirits. One local priest even referred to “demon” guns, as I recall.
A Batman propaganda piece is entitled ”Seduction of the Gun.” (I’m confused. Are we supposed to be under the “spell” of these weapons. I confess that I get stock tips from my toaster. I think my blender is plotting against me, but don’t tell the disposal. Are we supposed to be bitter? Are we supposed to be bitterly seduced or seducedly bitter? Maybe all gun owners should go to a New Age healer, shaman, brujo, curandero, witchdoctor, personal trainer, or whoever, to get rid of our psychic problems with these mysteriously demonic objects.)
In California, there was talk of government regulation of your house thermostat by radio control. How dare you decide what the temperature should be in your own home? That is certainly a matter for government intervention.
Oh! But not abortion. It would be immoral for the state to interfere with a woman’s right to kill her unborn child for any reason.
The most classic example of the Democrat obsession with control is playing itself out in their Presidential Nomination Process this year. The party of the “working person,” the party of the “common citizen” has created a cadre of “SUPERDELEGATES” to make sure that the working people and the common citizens don’t screw up and nominate someone that the Rulers of the Democrat Party would not want as a candidate. Let’s do that one more time. The party of the “working person,” the party of the “common citizen” has created a cadre of “SUPERDELEGATES” to make sure that the working people and the common citizens don’t screw up and nominate someone that the Rulers of the Democrat Party would not want as a candidate. Whew! And they call themselves Americans! Well, actually, some of them call themselves “citizens of the world.”
The Superdelegate phenomenon tells you all you need to know about the Democrats. To paraphrase Emily Dickenson, Love, Hope, and Change are all we know about Democrat promises of Heaven; and what they have done, what they are doing, and what they propose to do to this country are all we need to know of Hell.
If you value freedom, vote Republican.

Great post. I don’t agree with your ultimate conclusion (”vote Republican”) but it’s a great post none the less.
