LEAVE US ALONE!

(sigh)

I do NOT want the government to dictate the temperature at which I must maintain my home. Don't laugh. This is an administration proposal to produce a new energy grid which could regulate the amount of energy to individual homes in order to maintain a constant 72 degrees and to therefore save energy.

I do NOT want the government to determine the number of miles I may drive per year and tax me for all miles over that amount. Again, the administration wants to cut down on the amount of energy consumed by taxing us if it determines we are driving too many miles.

I do NOT want the government mandating those selling their foods at farmers' markets to be required to have individuals fill out forms stating where and from whom they bought the produce and indicate when it will be consumed.

I do NOT want the government to influence the size of the home in which I live based on a propsed "carbon tax" on dwellings larger than 3000 square feet. Congressman John Dingell is sponsoring this particular bill which encompasses a wide range of taxes leaving a large "carbon footprint." (Al Gore, you in your huge energy-guzzling estate, are you listening?)

I do NOT want government to provide universal healthcare for all Americans because socialized medicine is sub-par on all levels. Ask any dependent of military personnel.

I do NOT want the government to decide which automobiles the manufacturers will produce based on some arbitrary Rahm Emmanuel opinion on energy standards and what "America needs." What a pompous ass.

I do NOT want a Supreme Court Justice who is "empathetic" if it means a screwball, transgender, bleeding heart socialist. Look out, America, because there are many of these out there who are already in positions of authority. Hopefully none of the ones I'm thinking about have judicial experience. But even THAT may not stop Obama from making one of them his choice to fill David Souter's seat on the Court.

I do NOT think it's appropriate for the President to stick his thumb in the professional sports playoff pie. Who does he think he IS?

And these are the LITTLE things that are so disturbing about the current administration. I shall only start to stammer if I address the really big issues.

So I won't.
