It’s Funny How They Don’t Want Morality in Our Homes Unless It’s Their Morality.
Mmmm…that’s some good nanny state right there.
The Anne Arundel County Council has voted to require that sprinklers be installed in all new homes built in the county, starting later this year.
County Executive John Leopold is praising the 6-1 vote as “a major victory” for county residents. “There can be no greater priority than saving lives,” he said.
Nor personal freedom. Not individual choice.
No greater priority than more government shackles. For your own good, of course. Would you be safer? Probably so. It is your government’s responsibility to make you that way? Not in a free country.
See, the progressive left (and do not doubt that the Anne Arundel County Government is abidingly progressive) screams about the alleged attempts by the religious right to intrude into your home life with any sort of moral code. Yet they do not hesitate for a second to do the very same thing. Because they care more than you. And they’re smarter than you. Ask them.
I wonder if, in a couple years, we’ll be hearing whining from Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold about how there’s so little affordable housing in his county. He probably won’t connect that to the $1.00 to $1.50 per square foot extra cost he just helped add to the cost of every new house.

This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. The insurance geek in me automatically thinks not only is the price of the house going to go up but so is insurance because there will now be claim after claim for sprinkler leakage.
This is just proof positive of my primary belief about liberals: they hate, hate, hate poor people because everything the liberals do make life more expensive, and therefore more difficult, for the poor.
Yeah, "they" just don't get financial responsibility or morality. Best to cut programs that help ordinary people to the bone so we have enough money to launch three trillion dollar "preemptive" wars on pretend evidence with enough change left over for the next round of corporate bailouts for the next round of scandals due to the systematic deregulation that has taken place under Republican administrations since Reagan began dismantling FDR's New Deal.
The conservative approach to finances and morality has demonstrated how sound it is. That's exactly what's gotten America to where it is today.
Except that very little of what you said was actually true, Paul. But you say it with passion so it counts, right?
