Where Islam and Progressives Meet and Kiss
The seemingly natural affinities between Islamists and “progressives” never cease to amaze me. One predilection both ideologies hold in common is an abhorrence of individual free will.
Via A Thousand Paper Cuts I learn that some anal-retentive control freaks in Mississippi have introduced a bill making it a crime for a restaurant to serve fat people.
There’s a lesson to be learned in the state of Mississippi as three representatives, two Republicans and one Democrat, have introduced a bill which would make it illegal for restaurants or cafes with over seating over five to serve anyone who is obese.
In essence, making it illegal to serve “fat” people based on a government chart. “Health” Inspectors will be sent to eating establishments to ensure the establishment follows the law or the establishment can be closed down or fined. The first step in publicly shunning the fat person, turning them way with “shame.” The food establishment caught in the middle.
I don’t know why they bother. Hillary and Obama no doubt have given much thought to the menace obese people pose, certainly more thought than they have ever devoted to the threat of Islam. I’m sure if one of those two gets in office, they’ll pen legislation making it illegal for grocery stores to sell cookies to fat children and alcohol to men with beer bellies. Perhaps we’ll have to have our weight taken before we ring up our items to see how heavily we will be taxed if we choose food items that do not comply with “recommended” health standards.
Soon fat people will be crouching in the shadows outside of the 7-11, looking for a passing skinny person to go in and buy them a bag of chips. If that skinny person happens to be a progressive, they’ll , no doubt, make a citizen’s arrest.
from the bill:
Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health …
(3) The State Department of Health shall monitor the food establishments to which this section applies for compliance with the provisions of this section, and may revoke the permit of any food establishment that repeatedly violates the provisions of this section.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after July 1, 2008.
And this is where Islam and the left meet and kiss. They both demand total abdication of personal rights, they both seek to erase individuality and all of the independence that it fosters. What the hell is the difference between the “Fat Police” and the religious police in Iran who accost offending women in the street for showing flesh or a beat a man for hoisting a beer?

We just patrol around,” she said. “We look for anyone not wearing proper Islamic dress, or any couples who are hanging out together without being married. (Link)
Sharia law and Progressivism should prove to be congenial bed partners. A vote for Hillary or Obama will guarantee such an eventual tryst. Please allow your imagination to contemplate the “progeny” of such a union. Scales outside of restaurants won’t be the worst of it.
