It is time to move the Statue of Liberty

We really need to move the Statue of Liberty out of New York City.   It is time for the symbol of freedom to be moved to a more appropriate place.  It is time to figure out how to get it out of New York and moved some place else.

Why?

Because freedom is pretty much dead in New York City. 

King Michael the First has decided that New Yorkers are too fat.  So he is going to ban large sugary drinks. 

Really?

New York City is pretty much a disaster and this is what he is worried about?

Let’s ignore the epic fail of liberalism in the Big Apple for a moment and just stick with the basics.   The basics here are freedom!

If I want to drink sugary drinks, knowing what the consequences are, that is my decision.  If I want to be fat, that is my decision.  If I want to do the work it takes to be thin and in shape, again that is my decision.  I do not need the nanny state or King Michael telling me what to do.

King Michael and the nanny state socialists are doing this because it is for our own good.  Aren’t those the words tyrants use every time?  We are taking your liberty and your freedom because it is for your own good.

At a press conference, King Michael’s words could have been taken from any number of tyrants of the past.  He said, “I think that’s what the public wants the mayor to do.”

Really?

I suspect most New Yorkers if asked want a lot of things and banning soft drinks isn’t on the list.

I bet if King Michael asked, I bet the average New Yorker would tell King Michael he wants his taxes reduced. 

I bet if King Michael asked, most New Yorkers would like to have something done about the out of control crime.  I bet a fair number of them would like King Michael to quit making war on their second amendment rights. 

I bet there are a whole lot of things New Yorkers would rather King Michael be doing other than telling New Yorkers what they can or cannot drink.

While sugary drinks are a small issue, remember the people such as King Michael who are pushing this are the same people that also want to repeal parts of the Constitution as well.    If King Michael had his way, none of us would be allowed to own firearms to defend ourselves.  Ask Britain how well that has worked out for them.  If King Michael had his way, there would be prohibitions on hate speech.  Of course for the left, hate speech is defined as anything a conservative says.

Liberty continues to be eroded in this nation and unfortunately too many people sit on the sidelines and watch it sail away.   Back when many of us were children, this was a free nation.  Some parts of it still are.  Unfortunately, New York City is no longer a part of the land of the free.

It’s time to find a new home for the Statute of Liberty.   Freedom is dying rapidly in New York City.
