The Feds Want To Know Where You Are

“It is not and will not be the policy of the Obama administration,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters, when asked for the president’s thoughts about Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s suggestion, raised in an interview with The Associated Press a daily earlier.
Gasoline taxes that for nearly half a century have paid for the federal share of highway and bridge construction can no longer be counted on to raise enough money to keep the nation’s transportation system moving, LaHood told the AP.
“We should look at the vehicular miles program where people are actually clocked on the number of miles that they traveled,” the former Illinois Republican lawmaker said in the AP interview.
First of all, when the Obamessiah says that this is “not the policy of the Obama administration” you can bet your ass he’s lying through his teeth. Second, how do you think they plan to do this?
The device would tally how much tax motorists owed depending upon their road use. Motorists would pay the amount owed when it was downloaded, probably at gas stations at first, but an alternative eventually would be needed.
It’s unbelieveable what these fuckers are trying to do. They are taking over as much of the private sector as they can. They’re taking over the U.S. Census so they can help ACORN with their Democrat voter fraud from the inside. Now they’re talking about tracking the miles you drive – and more importantly – TRACKING YOU with their GPS device. How much more of your freedom do you idiots want to give up for these thugs? It’s time the hope dopes woke up and smelled the latte.

Did you hear Robert Gibbs in front of a national media speculate about where Rick Santelli lives?!
I’m waiting for him to get the Joe the Plumber treatment.
We’re all getting the Joe the Plumber treatment.

I’m so glad you heard that like I did. My wife and I heard that clip in the car and she interpreted it as “Santelli probably lives in a fancy McMansion in a ritzy neighborhood.” I heard it as a Chicagoland threat – as if – we don’t know where Santelli lives yet, but Rahm will find out quick. It sounded a lot like a threat to me, which makes more sense, since that’s the Chicago way.

I heard it both ways. I think he meant it both ways.

I think the transponder would be fun. Imagine smashing it with a rock, and then when the state worker comes over to fix it, standing next to him with a bullhorn, singing college fight songs at the top of your lungs. Then pay the fine, and tell him you’ll see him when he comes back next week to fix the rock damage again. We could make that get old, and costly, VERY quickly.

I like your mind, Gabriel Syme.

I dig it too, Gabriel.

Thank you, thank you. I will certainly do the same when they start monitoring my thermostat. A little Whitesnake at full effing volume on the stereo, with me singing and doing nude jumping jacks as the technician is putting a new one on. Maybe a gorilla mask, I don’t know, we’ll see what the mood dick-tates.
Monkeywrenching will be our one joy for a while, I think.
