Bloomberg's unintentionally funny commencement line


"If government can deny freedom to one, it can deny freedom to all." - Mayor Michael Bloomberg

O how does Bloomberg deny freedom to thee, let me count the ways...

I would still like a rational answer as to why hookah bars and hookah in islamic clubs,restaurants etc are permitted while one cannot light up in a bar,diner or restaurant nonislamic/arab themed-
how do they get away with not only the tobacco but the indoor burning of charcoal ?
and where are the second hand smoke nazis as their ventilation systems (LOL) which are only a fan,send that smoke directly out to the streets and residences above the ground floor cafes.
what gives ?
asking this for years already from the city council to bloomie's office itself and still WAITING for the answer.

its called 'tweeding' and yes, there is a strong component to the word that means pandering to ethnic groups to get their vote.

Boss Tweed: That's the building of our country right there, Mr. Cutting. Americans aborning.
Bill: I don't see no Americans. I see trespassers, Irish harps. Do a job for a nickel what a nigger does for a dime and a white man used to get a quarter for. What have they done? Name one thing they've contributed.
Boss Tweed: Votes.
Bill: Votes, you say? They vote how the archbishop tells them, and who tells the archbishop? Their king in the pointy hat what sits on his throne in Rome.

Yes, let's count the ways.. I'll start:

1. Stop and Frisk
2. Thousands of false arrests and counting
3. Land Theft
4. Corporate welfare
5. Influence Peddling
6. Supressing freedom of speech....
7. Nanny state restrictions on restaurants.

someone feel free to continue, I'm sure there's lots I missed.
