In Coral Gables, Florida, you can be ticketed for owning a truck and parking it anywhere after 7 pm. Even at your own home. That's the "law" that certain elitist liberals (in my day they were called snobs) passed, in an effort to ban vehicles THEY believe have no place in an elite neighborhood such as Coral gables.It is bigotry. And it is unconstitutional.
The spokesperson for Coral Gables says it helps to keep the "aesthetic value" of the neighborhood. But that excuse is absurd because "aesthetic value" implies beauty. Not only is beauty in the eye of the beholder, but they violate their own "aesthetic values" every hour of every day. How? Because a beautiful $50,000 truck is banned while a rusted out 1972 Ford Pinto is perfectly acceptable. ONLY trucks are targeted. Not ugly SUV's. Not ugly cars. Not ugly or loud motorcycles. Only trucks.
And that is why these elitists are wrong, and their bigoted law is unconstitutional.
Bear in mind - Coral Gables is a coastal community, and almost everyone goes boating. And for most, transporting your boat requires a truck. To ticket truck owners is to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs - tourists.
Folks, these things are happening everywhere - elitists passing ordinances to regulate every aspect of our lives. Banning the flag, banning trucks, prohibiting smoking in a city park while bus & truck fumes fill the air. Ordinances that prohibit homeowners to let their grass get over 2" tall, or prohibit growing wildflowers or herbs. And in some cases, prohibiting backyard gardeners from GIVING AWAY their extra produce.
And now, bills presented in statehouses across the country would ban taking photos of farms without the explicit consent of farm owners, in some instances, even if such photos are taken from a public right-of-way. Such bills have been introduced recently in Florida, New York and Iowa. In addition, several states already have similar laws on the books. Distributing of photos of farms, even if taken legally, would result in a penalty of 10 years in prison in Iowa, if the law passes. The only other type of photo that can get you in prison is child pornography! So elitist legislators are putting farms right up there with child porn...yes, I understand they are trying to stop "whistle-blowers" concerning animal cruely etc., but that, in itself, is unconstitutional, and whistle-blowers help us determine when there are criminal activities. So, it seems legislators are now passing laws to protect criminals.
When are we, the sheeple going to stop allowing this? When will YOU stand against the taking away of your liberties? Or will you just wait for someone else to do it? That won't work, because too many of "those others" are waiting for YOU to do it.
We have lost huge amounts of our personal freedoms because the individual encroachments were "small", not worth complaining about. But add 100's small encroachments and before you know it we are no longer a free people. We must stop, even reverse the small ones before they get too big to tackle.
Start now. Study the zoning ordinances of your community and pinpoint at least one that curtails people's freedoms without truly good cause (it can actually and reasonably bring harm to someone, for example). Then get a petition going to repeal it. Push it. WORK at it. As Larry the Cable Guy says, "GIT-R-DUN".
And when you have successfully got back a little bit of freedom, tackle another one. And keep doing it until all the unreasonable elitists "rules" are thrown out.
And if your public officials fight you, VOTE THEM OUT. Rally the community. Impress upon the community the importance of taking our country back, community by community.
