Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control

somaTh writes "Dan Maes, a candidate for governor of Colorado, thinks he's found an international conspiracy that starts with bike sharing. The article describes his current complaints with the incumbent's policies. 'The bike program in it of itself, if that's all it is, I wouldn't be opposed to it,' Maes told 9NEWS. 'What I am opposed to is if it's part of a bigger program that the mayor has signed on to as part of a UN program. That I would be opposed to.' He goes on to argue that the bicycle program is only a gateway into bigger policies including, but not limited to, forced abortions and population control. I understand that bike seats are uncomfortable, but I had no idea it was on purpose."

Too many people spending too much time watching the Fox Propaganda Network

As opposed to the MSNBC lefty spin vortex? Or the NPR Intelligensia Superiore Ruling Class network? Or the ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN all-Obama-pats-on-the-back-all-the-time networks? Or people who actually think they're getting "news" from the Daily Show, or Colbert? Or people who think that The Huffington Post, MoveOn.org, and the Daily Kos are level headed, rational sources of non-agenda-driven information? Or media coveage of Nancy Pelosi's call to investigate those bitching about that mosque in lower Manhatten that makes her look like anything other than the Moonbat Totalitarian that she is ...? Should the people slurping up their world view from those sorts of sources receive any of your derision? I see.

Sorry, the government doesn't share, it forcefully takes from one person and gives to another. Perhaps we could just change bank robbery to your form of sharing. Of course the government seems to be backing bank robbery for the bank execs these days as well.

Unlike Slashdot where everyone agrees 100% with everyone else, the republican party is made up of many individuals with differing opinions, and those opinions sometimes conflict with each other.

Not that I've ever witnessed. The Republican party seems to be made up of interchangeable clones who all think, talk, and act in lockstep.

Damn son, settle down before you give all the self proclaimed liberals a heart attack with the facts. When I read your post, it was as if I heard a million idiots go silent then start to cry as their world had been shattered with the hammer of reality. Have some compassion for these poor souls..

Isn't it kinda funny how the Democrat Party goes on and on about "the sanctity of life" in regards to the death penalty but they have no problem with abortion?

FTFY.
