I tend to be a 'greenie'

and I thought that ad was very inappropriate and counter-productive.

I'm very much an environmentalist in the way I live my life. But this commercial isn't funny because it blatantly shows real, true tyranny.

This is exactly what Alex Jone's 2009 documentary, "Fall of the Republic", said would happen.

Oh, c'mon it was funny, and I'm a greenie.

I don't think there will be much green tyranny.

We'll all be recycling because we need the change from turning in cans to buy food.

Read the news, Revi.

Organic home-farmers sell egg to agent and get SWAT-teamed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')size=150]SWAT raid on food co-op called 'entrapment'[/size]
Lawyer says family badgered by agent to 'sell' eggs

A state agent from the Ohio Department of Agriculture pressured a family whose members run a food cooperative for friends and neighbors to "sell" him a dozen eggs, sparking accusations of entrapment from a lawyer defending the family.

The case brought by state and local authorities against a co-op run by John and Jacqueline Stowers in LaGrange, Ohio, came to a head on Dec. 1 when police officers used SWAT-style tactics to burst into the home, hold family members including children at gunpoint and confiscate the family's personal food supply.

Amish raided and arrested for selling milk.

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/bro ... rrest.html

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')rooklyn raw milk enthusiasts are crying over the loss of their supplier - a horse and buggy-driving Amish farmer from Pennsylvania.

Mark Nolt of New Line, Pa., was arrested and shut down last Friday for selling the contraband.

"Oh God. My heart is pounding. I can't believe what a God---- police state this is," said one Brooklyn customer who made monthly pickups of raw dairy products from Nolt that the farmer had dropped off in Manhattan by workers.

"I gave him $100 last week for a huge delivery of stuff, including raw cream that I planned on using to make cream puffs," she said.

The Brooklyn outcry came after six Pennsylvania state troopers raided Nolt's farm and confiscated his illegal dairy.

Everyone knows that the cap and trade legislation calls for at least three enviro-cops for every single community in the USA, right? It also says that homes will be inspected and fines issued if they aren't up to code. You can be fined for "unlawful habitation" if you live in a home that has code violations.

I'm going to forward it to whitehouse.gov just in case Obama hasn't seen it so he can look into implementing it immediately.

I thought it was a decent humorous advertisment. Needed a little more sexy though.

The underlying irony is using it to sell cars (even 'clean diesel').

What could a "right-wing utopia" be used to sell ?

Well, what can you say, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Hopefully they didn't have poprocks or menthos and sodas in their food supply, or they might get DoHD on them too for having WMDs.

You mean how the White House wants you to inform on your fellow citizens who disagree with the administration?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/facts-ar ... rn-things/

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ince we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

I wonder if I took that (what 1,500 page) health reform bill and yellow-highlighted the fishy portions and emailed it there, if most of it wouldn't end up being yellow?

As someone who suffered from chronic bronchitis living in Los Angeles before the air quality improvements took effect, I can't really complain much if folks want to try to clean up the rest of the place like California did. It didn't look like a bad thing to me. :?:
