State of Affairs

Updated 2/1/10


Thus, in 2009, with a Democrat-controlled House, Senate and Presidency, we see the return of gross taxation, even-grosser spending, and nearly unfettered attacks upon our individual liberties and freedoms. Thanks, a-slim-majority-of-Americans, for not using your fucking mind and giving the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid free reign to turn us into a socialized, entitlement-ridden nanny-state.


So far, we have the expansion of SCHIP, an excuse to steeply rise all federal tobacco taxes, and the FDA given authority to regulate tobacco products, which will yield crappier products at higher prices. Click below for more details and find out who’s guilty.


Next up are S.1147, a bill to outlaw the mailing of tobacco products, and HR4339, a bill to steeply increase taxes on pipe tobacco even more. Click below for the skinny on these assaults to our freedom.


Black subjects mean they are a done deal and freedom has been wounded, Red means we can still fight it, Green (if ever to be seen in this congress) means our freedom was protected.
