As are all dictators. We live in a country where the President and his cronies decide what laws to follow and what laws to enforce; what companies are supported

“10 Health Insurance Companies Get ObamaCare Waivers — for Their Own Employees”. Well, then. Some pigs are more equal than others, I guess.

Last month Capuano said, “Politicians, I think are too bland today. I don’t know what

Apparently, the government has the authority to regulate “mental activity.” Which, if that’s the case, I’m probably in line for the death penalty at this particular moment. … Load the muskets. This isn’t going to end well.

Pragmatism! Gov.
