This Time They’ve Gone Too Far

posted in General, Humor, Obesity Epidemic, Sedentary Lifestyles |

Normally, I avoid writing about politics on my blog. But I read something yesterday that made my blood boil, that made me so angry, that I believe the time has come for a radical revolt.

Yes, that’s right - it’s time to overthrow the government.

The long train of abuses has gone too far. The sufferable evils have become insufferable. We have no choice but to foment a new American revolution and start all over again.What pushed me over the edge and turned me into a fire breathing radical?

Was it illegal immigration?

Was it the war in Iraq?

No. It’s something far worse, far more tyrannical. A proposal by the federal government that attacks the very foundations of who we are as a people and threatens to destroy our entire way of life.

The feds are saying that the pollution problem is so bad in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that THEY MAY START BANNING DRIVE-THROUGH LANES.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency announced plans Thursday to significantly strengthen ozone regulations, saying the existing standard fails to protect the public from the damaging effects of the lung-scarring pollutant.

The proposed changes could mean drastic new restrictions on drivers, workers and industries in North Texas to curb ozone-forming pollution. Some already discussed here are banning drive-through windows during ozone season, limiting hours for motorists to gas up, restricting the use of off-road construction equipment, even banning afternoon Texas Rangers games.

See, I told ya. And you thought I was exaggerating. Not at all. If they can do it in DFW, they can do it where you live. Damn you Al Gore! Damn you to hell! This is all his fault. If he thinks America will sit back and let the feds get away with banning drive-through lanes, well, I think there’s probably a hole in his ozone layer. No, this will not stand. I have too much faith in the American people. They’ve got too much backbone (and backside) to put up with this.

During the first revolution, a popular motto was Don’t Tread On Me! We need something catchy like that to inspire people. I’ve thought of one, and I hope it’ll spread like wildfire: Don’t Make Me Have To Get Out Of My Car And Off My Fat Ass To Get My Triple Cheeseburger!

    Oh! I loved your post! A new motto should be: “How big a boy are ya? Don’t make me get out of my car after I’ve had a triple cheeseburger and open up a 55 gallon can of whoop-*ss all over ya!” LOL!

    Al Gore and his cronies are so full of bull butter it’s not even funny anymore. If they get away with that nonsense in Dallas, Texas… who will be next? Houston? San Antonio? Blanco? Luckenbach?

    Let me get back into my diesel belching big rig and drive to D.C., and I’ll show them what pollution is all about!

    Don’t these idiots know it’s not automobiles that contribute to the pollution and ozone degradation? Remember when we were struck on 9/11 and all the airline flights were temporarily shut down? It was during this time when there were no airlines flying - WORLD WIDE - that noticeable, and measurable, drops in the ozone (and pollution) were drastically reduced?

    Wanna look where pollution is really coming from? Take a look at the smoke belching birds in the sky! Does that mean we’re going to stop flying? Heck, no! It means these environmentalist whackos got it all wrong, and they know it, because they have an AGENDA!

    If they can create more pseudo-victims they can entrench themselves as the supposed “saviors” of the human race and keep their jobs.

    Who put these nuts up there in the EPA anyway? We did, by default, when we voted for these jerks and keep re-electing them. They appoint these radical left-wingers who have no idea what reality is, and they want to push their cocaine, marijuana enhanced notions on us!

    We won’t stand for it!

    Hey Fat Guy… I’m with ya! Give ‘em some grief and don’t give them a break.

    It reminds me of a saying I saw on a tee shirt one time: “Never Underestimate The Power Of Stupid People In Large Groups”.

    And we sure have a lot of them in D.C. (and Austin!).

    Hey where I can vote for this?

    I think it is great. You want to talk about a major contributor to the obesity problem, drive-thrus are it.

    I also have a theory that part of the reasons why SUV’s are so popular is because Americans, who are fatter, have a tougher time getting in and out of normal cars.

    Ban drive thrus! I am for it.

    ROFL! that sums up the reasons why we are as fat we are. I was 280 lbs about 20 years ago. I dropped down to 190 in less then a year and have been between 190 and 200 since then. How did I do it? The dreaded GYM yuck! “health club” my ass! How did I keep the weight off these 20 years? I made a deal with myself. As long as i stay 200 lbs or below, I DON”T HAVE TO GO TO THE DAMN GYM! Going to the gym is like getting out of the car for a triple cheese burger! I don’t wanna do it. Both these activities are unamerican! Good luck with your weight reduction program, all kidding aside I know how tough it can be and I also know that it is worth the effort!

    The scientifically impossible I do right away
    The spiritually miraculous takes a bit longer

    Take me out to the parking lot,
    Take me out with the smog.
    Buy me some triples and Super Size,
    I don’t care I will never get fat,
    Let me honk, yell, scream for the missing fries,
    If they don’t come who do I blame.
    For it’s one, two, three seconds, you’re out,
    At the old drive through.

    It is a work in progress… So in with lazy people and out with the ballgame. What is more important people, a walk or a super size?

    I understand those that are not able to move because of medical conditions (age and so forth), but if you make them walk you are unamerican. (When was the last time we went out of our way to help other members of our society? It is not about me it is about community and being part of a greater team.)

    I’ll walk a mile for a triple cheeseburger with fries and a 44 oz. coke at C.J.’s Exxon Food Plaza (59 South Main, Blanco, Texas - USA).

    Best hamburgers on this side of the Blanco River!

    At least I can tell my doctor that I’ve been doing my daily walk. Don’t have to tell him what I did when I got there! LOL!
