What's the difference between Bloomberg's soda ban and the GOP's War on Drugs?

I see both sides infringing on my property rights.

Bloomberg's ban on super sized sodas has some grounding in logic?

Bloomberg's ban on super sized sodas has some grounding in logic?

Both sides use the same arguments.
- Healthcare cost
- Save the children
- Unhealthy lifestyle

The thing is the right-wingers had no problem pointing fingers at Bloomberg when they've been waging a war the past fourty years that has involved militerizing the police and editing the fourth amendment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_knock_warrant) so they can break down the door to kill grandmas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Johnston_shooting).

They started the War on "You don't really own your body, the state does," and now that the tables are turned and they got a taste of their own medicine, they don't like it. Maybe if they really stood for the "limited government" and "freedom" they pay lip service to we wouldn't be talking about this.

I just like pointing it out the hypocrisy of it all.

Yep....buying 2 16 oz cokes is really tough.

I'm for the availability of gallon cokes and legalized drugs. To some I might be a righty.

So why haven't the lefties dropped the war on drugs? They've certainly had their opportunities. I've never even heard a dem candidate for prez suggest it.

Still like seeing cops killed?

[Bourbon St Sooner]

The war on drugs has been a miserable failure and giant waste of money. Northern Mexico along with our own inner-cities are now war zones. That giant sucking sound is South American gov'ts taking your money to do squat.

So Bloomberg doesn't like big sodas and Oklahoma doesn't like 5-point beer.

Maybe we can trade? We'll send them 3.2 beer in exchange for his 5-point beer. Then, we'll also take all the 2-liters off his hands too.

Heh...you can get 5 point if you don't mind going to the liquor store. Maybe NY liquor stores will sell 20 oz cokes.

Not hardly any difference between the two...

Drugs, except for the new "medical" marijuana, are illegal, and have been for some time.(if not prescribed by a Doctor) Soda pop is legal and always has been. There's your connection between the 2 substances.

Bloomberg's ban on super sized sodas has some grounding in logic?For anyone who might have missed it, the original cartoon is a comparison of Bloomberg's power abuse with the ongoing Executive Branch power abuse of the 2nd Amendment.

[KantoSooner]

Inability to buy a 'Big Gulp' is really that serious a deal?

I suppose you might be right. Pretty soon, they'll restrict those pats of butter on diner tables.

Or, Ye Gods! they might cut off our access to more than one slice of pizza at walk up windows!

Oh, the humanity!

[kevpks]

Maybe these drones can spot the Big Gulp offenders.

Was there a drone flying over Brooklyn Monday afternoon?
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a report from a pilot of an Alitalia passenger jet who says he saw an unmanned aircraft while landing at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

Well, the majority New Yorkers elected this guy so they are getting what they want and deserve. For the people in NYC who didn't vote for meglomanical tyrant, my sympathies.

Flight 800?

Washington and Colorado just legalized marijuana by exercising their 10th amendment right. Oregon gave it a go (heard they're going to try again) and California is trying again.

Name me a right/Conservative/Republican state even considering this.

I masturbate to a specific scene (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x59lu7_reservoir-dogs-stuck-in-the-middle_shortfilms#.UTZavoy9KSM) in Reservoir Dogs daily.

That's your argument? It's very poor. Maybe Rush Limbaugh is your clone.

Alcohol was made illegal in this country before most drugs.
Alcohol was made illegal the Constitutional way. It was made legal the Constitutional way as well.

Most drugs were made illegal by unconstitutional means. Not to mention the war against them created bigger government bureaucracies. This also gave the federal government more power over the states by editing the 10th amendment and as I showed in an earlier post, the fourth.

The connection between the two is property rights. Do you own your body or does the state?

If you agree with me, that you own your body and can do with it as you please, then you can sit at the big boy table.

If you said no, and feel obesity, intoxication, or your bodily matters are something the state should monitor, then you're a butt-f*cking statist and I hope you fall, penis first, into a blender.

Good for those states but nothing at the national level. Hell, Obama was even busting the head shops in CA. The dems had a big majority from 2008-2010 and I never heard it mentioned.

Yeah, I wish OK would realize what a good cash crop they would have here in the state. Home growing would be fun but it would be hard to beat the indoor crap that is coming out now.

Reservoir Dogs...never saw it but it didn't look like anyone came out too good on that scene.

Looks as if you're preparing to make a connection to abortion some way with one's own body's property rights(instead of properly viewing it as murder). but maybe since it was foisted upon us by the SCOTUS, you don't feel that it was the will of the people. On that we can agree as well.

I apparently need to ask you again to consider the comparison between Bloomberg doing the soda pop edicts with the POTUS' enacting restrictions to the 2nd amendment. That is the purpose of this thread.

[soonercruiser]

But, it does cost the customer more.
Thus, gaining the state more tax revenue!
Oh!

So much for the soda ban... Struck down by a New York Supreme Court Judge...


The city is “enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations,” New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling decided Monday.

The regulations are “fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences,” the judge wrote. “The simple reading of the rule leads to the earlier acknowledged uneven enforcement even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole….the loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the state purpose of the rule.”

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Oh hey, the loopholes ruined the ban! Drat them loopholes!

Well that really sucks for Bloomberg...maybe he'll only allow the manufacture of 16 oz cups.
