Big Brother [will be] Watching You

Wow. First we are talking about the "Green Police" in an Audi commercial, who "punish" you if you don't comply with their green standards. Now Michelle Obama wants to essentially create a Food Police to control what we feed our kids. What's next? Telescreens in everyone's homes making sure we are getting up to do our daily exercises and making sure we aren't committing any ThoughtCrimes?

Seriously. These liberal leftists really want to turn our government into their very own Big Brother, watching and monitoring and controlling every decision we make. They truly believe that we are not smart enough to make our own decisions.

This article by Ben Shapiro really speaks to this:

The environmentalist frenzy overtaking the Democratic Party and its left allies is just one symptom of a burgeoning anti-democratic wave among liberals. Even as the deep green crowd pushes forward with its anti-technology, anti-liberty agenda, first lady Michelle Obama insists that we now police what inner-city kids eat for dinner. Her "anti-obesity" initiative, spearheaded at LetsMove.gov, suggests that it is our responsibility to "ensure that all families have access to healthy, affordable food in their communities." What if not all families want healthy food? What if they prefer McDonald's? Surely the Food Police follows hot on the heels of the Green Police -- already, liberal politicians are floating "fat taxes" as punishments for businesses that market unhealthy products.


That is truly scary to me and you should be terrified also.... It's crazy how all of this sounds just like George Orwell's 1984. Here's the description from Wikipedia:
Nineteen Eighty-Four (also 1984), by George Orwell, published in 1949, is a dystopian novel about the totalitarian regime of the Party, an oligarchical collectivist society where life in the Oceanian province of Airstrip One is a world of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance, public mind control, and the voiding of citizens' rights.
