And they have the liberty to do that if they so choose, but the government does not have the authority to tell them that they cannot. Where in our body of laws does it say that the government has authority to tell people or their children what they can or cannot eat?
Sorry that I got you mixed up with a CA liberalbut my mistake is understandable because there's not a whole lot of difference between a CA liberal and a NY liberal.
What do you think of the reports circulating that your mayor is considering a run for the presidency as an independent? Since he would have little appeal to Red State voters, the Democrat Party had better try to get a game plan worked out to deal with him. I did note that Obama met privately with Bloomberg recently, so maybe a deal was worked out that Bloomberg will become Obamas vice-presidential candidate. That would defuse an otherwise problematic situation and would be one sure way to wrestle the nomination from Hillary.
Its been more than 30 years since Nixon was president. Personally, I have very little interest in how Nixon would be perceived today.
As to "loonies" hijacking the GOP, no more so than the ultra left hijacking the Democrat Party.

I don't think it appropriate for the government to tell them what they can and cannot stuff their kids' faces with on their own time. But I don't think schools should be enablers and they shouldn't be in the business of purveying snacks and sweets to our kids.
Why? We had snacks, cokes, candy bars when I was in junior high and no one complained. Aren't grocery stores purveyors too. Maybe we should shut them down also.
Yeah, it was elementary through junior high, 79-82, in Kentucky. Now if my memory serves me correctly, we were only able to drink juices ie cranberry, orange, apple right after gym. We had one break during the day that we could get a candy bar or coke. We still had to eat the school house slop though, no a la carte. LOL. that didn't come until high school.
Yep, I couldn't imagine being a kid today, all couped up in the house with all the gadgets, playstations and whatnot. Being inside the house was the last place we wanted to be.
What is it about our liberal friends who insist that others be made, forced and banned? Why do y'all enjoy legislation that pervades into our lives and why give them so much power to control our lives. If someone wants to eat something, that god forbid, has fat in it.....so what. I just don't understand govt interference into our lives. We've got a complete circus in DC and I wouldn't trust them running a generator.
What seems to have been missed is that this is NOT banning anything. It is merely making some things unavailable in public schools. While, obviously, the government should not be banning sugar/sweets/whatever there is no reason that the government has a responsibility to provide it for sale in schools. The government should not ban the sale of cigs/alcohol/porn/knives, but nor would I like them selling any of those things in public school even to kids who were above the legal age to buy them.
Liberals believe we need to be protected from ourselves, because like everything else, due to their superior intelligence they know whats better for everyone.
Wrong as usual ... Why am I not surprised ...It is not resticted to the SALE in schools... WE cant pack what they consider unhealthy and if you do you sure as shit better not share!
Federal lawmakers are considering the broadest effort ever to limit what children eat: a national ban on selling candy, sugary soda and salty, fatty food in school snack bars, vending machines and à la carte cafeteria lines.
I might be wrong but I think that if a school receives federal aid, then the federal government has a right to be involved. If a school receives absolutely no federal support then, in my opinion, the federal government has no right to intrude. Im not basing this comment on any particular law. I am just commenting based on my notion of fairness. If the feds give money, then the feds have a vested interest.
From the article..
Nowhere does it say that you can't bring your own in.
Except the Federal Government has NO Constitutional right to tax or pay for schools in Individual States. NONE what so ever. They have usurped a power of the State Governments and Local School Boards Unconstitutionally.
I'm talking about My experiences at our NJ schools...
Try keeping up...the rest of us are talking about a federal law being contemplated by the US Congress.
Hence, how Nixon would be perceived IS relevant since it gives a clue to just how far-gone your party is.
A friend of mine and I grew up in an explorer type environment and were discussing what kids do today vs when we were growing up. We played dodgeball with a basketball while lined up against an old brick building. When we aimed our goal was to inflict pain on the person standing up against the brick wall. lol. We were given knives at the age of 5 or 6, hunting rifles then too. We'd jump off roofs, stick things in electrical outlets, clean fish with a very sharp knive....yes all before the age of 10. We played in barns, jumping out of lofts, played in silos, drove riding lawnmowers, swam in ponds while things were biting us. We'd go to the er with some regularity. Ride our bikes over ramps while doing the no hands thing, with no helmets. Played football and baseball in the street with no helmets. Built things with wood and with real nails and hammers. Played in abandoned shacks and refrigerators, aimed bottle rockets and roman candles at each other, shot each other with the old daisy bb guns Went sledding behind trucks that pulled us through the snow on public roads. Were bitten by dogs, and got into fist fights without being expelled from school, climbed water towers, and hung tobacco. And we always kept score.
