Francisco had the right of it.

The government does not have the power, unless we succumb to what they say. Same with washing machines: It controls how much water used, the temperature of the water (especially for rinsing - always cold), how long it run. It is awful. Put, government's job is to destroy America. Ours is to keep it a free Republic.

People refers to the group of Citizens collectively but is correct. Note the text of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments:

Ninth: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Tenth: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Rights were always understood by the Founders as being individual in nature but exercised with the collective society of The People.

Should be individual rights versus the mob. No such thing as People's Rights people is plural and thus a group of individuals which group acts with permission of the members and has no inherent rights, only permissions as does the governing body.

Joke is on them..eliminating the 2nd doesn’t mean I won’t own guns.

She was my former Governor a few years back. And a complete evil piece of shit. She literally said she didn’t care what the more rural parts of the state had to say about anything because Metro Detroit could outvote all of us. Said it out loud. At least she was honest.

Why do so many hate the sight of happy people?

+1 Our choices to "T'row da
bums out!" have always been
1) Vote them out.
2) Shoot them out.
3) Civil Disobedience them out.
1 & 3 haven't worked and if they can eliminate the 2nd Amendment, all is lost.

Agreed. Any agency regulations they want to write have to go up through committee and be passed as law just like any other piece of legislation. You can bet that would scuttle a lot of this nonsense.

If it does come in my lifetime, and I'm still young enough to do something for the cause, I will damn sure do whatever I can. I think it's long past time to "T'row da bums out!"

I'd like to see us go back to a strict constitutional system. Nothing becomes federal law unless specifically passed by both houses of congress and signed by the president. NO "agency regulations". NO "executive orders". There is a long painful process for a reason - to limit government. Ignoring that process is the reason for much (if not all) of the government overreach that pervades our lives.

Dishwashers also offer a level of cleanliness to keep us healthy. They probably work a whole lot better than the jab - or masks or any other Fauci BS.

I hate to say it, but they will be going after the pets in a round about way. When they drive the human population into starvation, pets will become a food source. The Chinese and others know all about this.

Hard to believe this was just in a novel from 1957.

The problem is, the left is using their power to alter and abolish our constitution. They’re instituting a new government that will without a doubt affect our safety and happiness… negatively.

Like I said dahling! Stupid!

It may help for one to understand, like all Marxist/Communist ideology, none of this applies to the elite.

Francisco's monolgue, from Altas Shrugged, Part 2, Chapter 2, "The Aristocracy Of Pull".
I have that page underlined.

She sure thought she looked good in the raised up hard hat they just came out of the plastic though.

They have no issue with this as they all have servants...maids...who do all their housework.

In me dino's "Dictionary Of Dire Doofus Democrats," that photo of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is placed beside the word, :"Airhead."
That lawyer turned politician is as qualified to be a Secretary of Energy as a dunderhead for a South Bend mayor is to be our Secretary of Transportation.

Granholm has zero background in energy. She was our former Governor in Michigan who messed things up big time. When ever the government says it is going to save you money it is always the opposite. It will be an additional expense - not savings.

Next, they'll go after our pets.

Behind our backs they went after the kids, starting about 30 years ago...and they pulled if off.

Haha...

"... --That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their Safety and Happiness..." TJ DOI

It's past time to act. I hope it comes in my lifetime.

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.
