We have already allowed the government to get its hands on our health care, and they are getting more and more into our personal lives and telling us what we can eat, what we can put in our food, what we can drink what light bulbs to use, what to drive, and so on. This administration wants control of everything we do and they pushing the envelope a little more and a little more to see what we will put up with. I would agree that relinquishing control of health care is a very slippery slope and one that we need to be seriously concerned about as Christians. As far as the motive is concerned. Obama doesn't seem to me the type to be overly consumed with controlling our lives. In some ways he is more libertarian than many in the right wing. I think he just has a vastly larger trust in what big government can do for us than conservatives have and either doesn't have a good understanding of unintended consequences that result from big government or he is just a run of the mill politician who realizes those consequences will come back to haunt future politicians. He doesn't seek to control our lives because he's too lazy to put that much effort into his job. He seeks to have others control our lives for him. $44M in taxpayer money on vacations says all we need to know about what he expects from us. As long as his lavish lifestyle isn't impacted and he doesn't have to make too many decisions he doesn't care what the people working for him do to the rest of us.

With all due respect, I don't think he has a libertarian impulse in his body. *At best*, he is a Fabian socialist, and that is very, very bad for individual liberty.

Well even if he uses proxies, it is still him attempting to control us, ultimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my cousin's daughter's made a red velvet cake about two years ago for Christmas. She was putting red food coloring in the batter, but because the batter only turned pink she thought she didn't put in enough. So she kept adding and adding and the batter was still pink (she didn't know that the cake would darken to red in the oven). She ended up dumping a entire bottle of red food coloring and 1/4 of another bottle before giving up. Instead of red velvet, it was more like a fire engine red and everyone thought it tasted funny. I shudder to think of all the bad stuff in that cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently our tax dollars at work have nothing better to do than to tell us what we can and cannot eat, along with what kind of cars we should drive and what we should feed our children, and what kind of light bulbs we must use, how much soda we can drink, and the kind of appliances we should buy. Welcome to the USSR http://politicalpistachio.blogspot.com/2014/12/obamas-fda-to-ban-doughnut-sprinkles.html?m=1 How ridiculous,the sprinkles will be banned but the donuts are OK?
