Big Brother Wants us to Slow Down!

(For anyone reading this who may have delicate sensibilities…I caution you.  I’m really angry at John Warner, and this is a rant.)

Our freedom loving Senator from Virigina; John Warner, has put forth the motion that congress reinstate the nationwide 55mph speed limit.

What a tyrannical, hypocritical, moron!

I was hauled into court, fined, almost jailed, and now am denied driving rights in Viriginia, because of tyrants like him!  (All for driving at a completely reasonable pace…it just happened to be a pace that bearuacrats like Mr. Warner deemed from on high to be “wreckless.” )

Is this the same state that prodcued the likes of Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson?

How DARE you Mr. Warner???  When I walked past the local newspaper box one morning, I couldn’t believe what I saw! 

Mr. Warner, government intervention always, always, ALWAYS ruins liberty and freedom.  It ALWAYS stunts the imaginative growth of citizens, and ALWAYS produces tyranny! 

You’ve lost your mind Mr. Warner.  The State may as well use (what you seem to think are god-like) powers to demand that Americans stop driving all together!  Only Senators, and other important people (like yourself Mr. Warner) should be allowed to drive!

THAT would REALLY save some gas, don’t you think Senator???? 

Why don’t you just go ahead and emasculate every speed loving  young male in Virginia?   Tell them that you don’t think they should be allowed to pursue happiness.  Tell them that you don’t think they know enough to protect themselves and others on the highway.  Tell them that you have god-like powers that endow you with the special abbility to impose limits on the rest of us! 

Tell them all that…and then tell them that you are a freedom loving Republican. 

You don’t deserve the honored position you have!

Here is a really good refutation of Warners position, and I highly reccomend it to any Virginians out there:
