If Bloomberg is a 'Moderate'....

[JimBowie1958]

You must be speaking of him in the context of being a Democrat.

A guy that says things like the list below, would not be considered anything but a facsist in any other party.

Nolte: The Fascist History of Tiny Tyrant Michael Bloomberg

No Smoking in Your Own Establishment

Like the proverbial boiling frog, people are actually okay with this now… They think it’s great no one can smoke in public buildings, in a workplace, bar, or restaurant.

As a non-smoker, I agree…

What I don’t like, though, is the government telling a property owner what he can do with his property. If the owner of a bar or restaurant wants to allow smoking, who is the government to outlaw it?

It’s an outrageous and obscene violation of property rights.

What’s more, Bloomberg banned smoking outdoors! In New York, you can no longer smoke in public places such as a beach or park.

Banned Trans Fats

Restaurants and food vendors are no longer able to add trans fats to their foods.

Who the hell is Bloomberg to tell free Americans what they can sell and buy?

Bloomberg deserves credit for requiring menus to reveal ingredients and calories. I am always in favor of giving the public information to go with their choices.

Ban Big Sodas

Bloomberg wanted to tell you what size soda you could buy. Thankfully, a judge struck this nonsense down.

But the mindset of such a man is revealing.

And what the hell is the difference between drinking two 16 ounce cokes and a 32 ounce coke? It’s just stupid, bossy, punitive and un-American.

Ban Baby Formula

Good grief.

Bloomberg Doesn’t Believe China Is a Dictatorship

“Xi Jinping is not a dictator. He has to satisfy his constituents, or he’s not going to survive.”

Bloomberg said that.

And he said it for two reasons, neither of them acceptable…

First off, although he is already worth $50 billion, that’s not enough. It’s never enough for these guys, and Bloomberg wants to ensure he can continue to make money in China.

Secondly, Bloomberg doesn’t believe a dictator is a dictator if he has the “best interests” of his people in mind. But as I pointed out above, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and pretty much every dictator throughout history believed they knew what was best.

Bloomberg Wants to Let Old People Die

Nothing reveals the heart of an authoritarian more than a utilitarian view of human life.

“If you show up with prostate cancer and you’re 95 years old, we should say, ‘Go and enjoy, have a nice one, live a long life. There’s no cure, and we can’t do anything.’ A young person, we should do something for. Society’s not willing to do that yet.”

Bloomberg said that.

And please note the “yet,” as though allowing a 95-year-old to die of cancer is “progress.”

This is monstrous.

Bloomberg is a monster, for only a monster is willing to condemn a human being to die in order to save a little money.

Bloomberg Believes Black People are Useless

Bloomberg is a classic racist, someone who sincerely believes black people are something less than human, are at best chattel, at worst a physical and financial danger to society.

– You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops. They are male, minorities, 16-25.

– And the way you get the guns out of [black] kids’ hands is to throw them up against the wall and frisk them

– [P]eople say, ‘Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana that are all minorities.’ Yes, that’s true. Why? Because we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods.

– Cory Booker [a black U.S. Senator] endorsed me a number of times. And I endorsed Cory Booker a number of times. He’s very well-spoken.

– Redlining, if you remember, was the term where banks took whole neighborhoods and said people in these neighborhoods are poor, they’re not going to be able to pay off their mortgages. Tell your salesmen don’t go into those areas. And then Congress got involved and local elected officials as well. And said, ‘Oh, that’s not fair. These people should be able to get credit.’ And once you started pushing in that direction, banks started making more and more loans where the credit of the person buying the house wasn’t as good as you would like.

All of the above are Bloomberg’s own words. We have the audio.

After learning she was pregnant, Bloomberg has also been accused of telling a female employee struggling to find childcare, “It’s a fucking baby! . . . all you need is some black who doesn’t have to speak English to rescue it from a burning building.”

Bloomberg denied the allegation. He also settled the suit.

Bloomberg Seeks to Control Women

These allegations from 1997, when Bloomberg was in his late-fifties, are not just horribly sexist, they also again reveal his authoritarian streak and his twisted need to control the lives of others:

In her lawsuit, [Sekiko Sakai] Garrison alleged that when she told Bloomberg she was pregnant, he responded, “Kill it!” and said it again when she asked him to repeat himself.

“Great! Number 16!” he allegedly said, a complaint about how many employees had gotten pregnant.

A former employee for Bloomberg, David Zielenziger, confirmed Garrison’s account to the Post.

“He talked kind of crudely about women all the time,” Zielenziger said of his former boss. Indeed, the lawsuit alleged that Bloomberg would say “I’d fuck that in a second” upon seeing certain women.

He allegedly told several female employees that “all of you girls” should “line up” to give oral sex to male coworker who was getting married “as a wedding present.”

Dishonest partisans are going to compare this to Trump, but there is one major difference between the allegations against Trump and those against Bloomberg…

It was only after Trump decided to run for president as a Republican that women started hurling age-old allegations — which of course undermines their credibility.

The allegations against Bloomberg are contemporaneous.

Bloomberg Refused to Accept Term Limits

You know how paranoid freaks on the left and in the media (but I repeat myself) go on and on about Trump refusing to ever leave office?

Bloomberg actually did refuse to leave office.

Although he was limited to only two mayoral terms, in 2008, he successfully bought a third term.

Bloomberg Despises the Kulaks

Bloomberg is such a bigoted and ignorant elitist, he talks about farmers and factory workers as though they are thoroughly expendable idiots who might not even be capable of being re-educated to survive in Bloomberg’s Brave New World.

Direct quote:

If you think about it, the agrarian society lasted 3,000 years, and we could teach processes. I could teach anybody, even people in this room so no offense intended, to be a farmer. It’s a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that. Then you have 300 years of the industrial society. You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow, and you can have a job. And we created a lot of jobs. At one point, 98 percent of the world worked in agriculture; today it’s two percent in the United States. Now comes the information economy, and the information economy is fundamentally different because it’s built around replacing people with technology, and the skill-sets you have to learn are how to think and analyze, and that is a whole degree/level different. You have to have a different skill-set; you have to have a lot more gray matter. It’s not clear the teachers can teach or the students can learn, and so the challenge of society of finding jobs for these people, who we can take care of giving them a roof over their head and a meal in their stomach and a cell phone and a car and that sort of thing. But the thing that will stop them from setting up a guillotine someday, is the dignity of a job.

No Joke: Bloomberg Wants the Government to Read All Our Emails

Another direct quote:

Look, if you don’t want it to be in the public domain, don’t take that picture, don’t write it down. In this day and age, you’ve got to be pretty naive to believe that the NSA isn’t listening to everything and reading every email. And incidentally, given how dangerous the world is, we should hope they are, because this is really serious, what’s going on in the world.

Is this someone we want in charge of the federal government?

Bloomberg Is Not a Big Fan of Democracy

Yet another direct quote:

I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t have democracy, but there’s something to be said for a democracy like Singapore’s. In Singapore you can’t stand for election unless you have certain credentials. You have to have run something and have a PhD, and published[.]

Here’s where things get really scary…

Having a mayor of a city is fine. You can argue that you should have a legislature to go along with it. I think a lot of the purists would say ‘that’s a check and balance on the mayor.’ But if you look at places where there are strong legislatures; for example California, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York, you will find disasters at the state level where they have strong legislatures. As a matter of fact, take a look at Washington. The president can propose, the president can cajole and maybe influence, but it’s Congress that writes the laws and allocates the money. Are you happy with what they’ve been doing? Public doesn’t seem to be, and so I would argue … the public’s safeguard is every four years at the ballot box … far and away you should give more powers to the executive branch if you want progress.

So a guy who purchased a third mayoral term also believes we should essentially elect a dictator every four years… Gee, do you think that an elected dictator who is not dealing with the checks and balances that come a co-equal branch of government, might use his dictatorial powers to ensure he’s never voted out of office?

FACT: Every dictator who has destroyed a democracy has started with this exact same argument.

Pushes the Global Warming Hoax

Flaming eco-hypocrite Michael Bloomberg is of course a climate paranoid, but the real reason he pushes this hoax is because it is a “crisis” that gives the government license to violate every one of our rights and freedoms — from our light bulbs, to where we live, to our right to life.

Disarm the American People

Nowhere has Bloomberg put more energy and treasure than in his demonic quest to disarm the American people and leave us helpless — which makes total sense if you look at the man in full…

How else is Bloomberg going to thwart democracy, treat black people like animals, treat women like slaves, get away with reading all of our emails, and force us to do what he says is best for us, unless we are helpless to a federal government with the legal right to use violence against us?

Michael Bloomberg should terrify anyone who believes in individual freedom.

I know many of you hate Trump, but you can’t honestly hate him this much. And the two men are complete opposites.

Trump uses his authority to decrease the power of government in our lives, and to empower the individual.

Bloomberg uses the power of government to interfere in every aspect of our lives … as he disarms us.​

If you think that is being a 'moderate' you MUST be a Democrat.

And if you read about HIS unhealthy eating habits, you tend to see a pattern of "do as I say, not as I do" or WORSE -- "For ME, but not for THEE"...

There's a hilarious piece that quotes a SCATHING NYTimes article about how BAD this guy actually is with salt and and bad foods...

Mayor Bloomberg Has a Tortured Relationship With Salt

 

[Polishprince]

Hey, if you throw $400 million at media outlets in advertising dollars, you can be ironman if you want to.

Spending that kind of money on TV ads makes you very popular with the networks for sure, even if they weren't pre-inclined to go for your marxist dribble already. If Mini-Mike were to get in, he'd even be more favored to the Lame Stream Media than B. Hussein O.

[MaryL]

Excuse me. Bloomberg is the Democrats version of Trump.

 

[Polishprince]

Excuse me. Bloomberg is the Democrats version of Trump.

Although they are both part of the New York Billionaire community, but they really aren't alike at all.

Bloomberg and Trump are both proud to be affluent. But Trump cares about other people, he respects other people. Bloomberg looks up his nose at the Hoi Polloi. Mini-Mike is a petty dictator seeking to regulate the size of the people's sugary drinks, salt and fat consumption, cigarette smoking and everything else. He has no respect for farmers, artisans, anyone else.

That just isn't Trump. Trump loves to come to Americans medium sized and smaller metropolises, he loves the people who are the salt of the earth, commiserates with the nation's leading theologians, just a fantastic and relatable individual who gets along with everyone even if they are different than him.

Back in 07, Trump had no problem whatsoever when he met the Boogey Man, someone who he nothing in common with. I don't think Mini-Mike would have been so calm.

 

[MaryL]

Do tell.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Bloomberg looks up his nose at the Hoi Polloi.

I see what you did there.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Do tell.

Trump only spent $66 million of his own cash during the whole 2016 campaign.

Bloomberg h as spent $409 million as of end of January.

Read somewhere he has spent another $70 million or so in February.
