The obnoxious little turd that is Mike Bloomberg

I have friends who insist Mike Bloomberg is the ideal presidential candidate. Their hero worhip of NYC's Head Nurse is at best misplaced, and those who should know better ought to be ashamed of themselves. Because hizzoner is a scoundrel, with no regard whatsoever for the Constitution.

On his radio show this week, Derb discusses the case of Meredith Graves, the Tennessee nurse who, upon visiting the 9/11 memorial in New York and seeing the signs forbidding firearms, asked the staff if she could check her pistol (lawful and licensed in home state). She was handcuffed, arrested, and now faces three and a half years in jail for firearms possession — for the crime of being unaware that the Second Amendment does not apply in New York City.

This is the Mike Bloomberg "law and order" machine in full regalia. He plays fast and loose with the law at every turn. And he's never one to ascribe reasonable doubt:

And because it suits his objectives. He needs middle-class white female felons to offset the parade of low-income minority lowlifes his police department is usually forced to arrest, seeing as how there isn't anyone else spreading mayhem within a mile of his ivory tower.

You can be confident that Meredith Graves will be locked up, because it is far easier to lock up law-abiding types such as Meredith Graves than it is to police the criminals who actually do the murders and muggings.

Rudy Guiliani he ain't. Mayor Mike is the quintessential pandering politician, broadcasting bland bromides in lieu of countering the contagions which cripple his once magnificent metropolis. Trans-fats are his enemy, while drug dealers run rampant. He proclaims that secondhand smoke threatens the foundations of civilization, but it's bedbugs whose proliferation actually undermines the fabric of our society.

In Bloomberg's paradise he'll close all the liquor stores, but free needles for junkies are a Constitutional Right.

People who find his hegemony alluring are no more than sheep, trading independent thought for the illusion of nanny state security. When their city inevitably succumbs to the rot which permeates its core they'll shake their heads wistfully and wonder which unimplemented utopian scheme would have precluded their fall from grace.

Mike Bloomberg is a nasty little man, and I hope Mrs. Graves sues the pants off his arrogant ass. As for his acolytes, I can only assume that their willful myopia conceals a deep-seated hatred of freedom and liberty. His presidential timbre is decidedly off-key.
