CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 6, 2023
IN WASHINGTON IF OFFICIALS DENY THEY ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING, THEY ARE PROBABLY ABOUT TO ACT.
DO YOU HAVE A GAS STOVE? IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DECIDE IN THE FUTURE WHETHER TO BUY ONE?
YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO IF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION GETS TO MAKE THAT DECISION FOR YOU. AFTER REPEATED DENIALS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT BANNING GAS STOVES, THE COMMISSION HAS APPROVED A REQUEST ABOUT HEALTH HAZARDS POSED BY GAS STOVE EMISSIONS AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FROM COMMISSIONER RICHARD TRUMKA, JUNIOR, A BIDEN APPOINTEE WHO PROPOSED BANNING THE APPLIANCES BEFORE THE AGENCY WALKED BACK HIS COMMENTS.
RECALL RONALD REAGAN’S QUIP ABOUT THE TEN MOST FRIGHTENING WORDS THAT COME FROM WASHINGTON: “I’M FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND I’M HERE TO HELP YOU.”
THE GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY IN OUR CARS, TOILETS, LIGHT BULBS AND PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS. EACH TIME THEY REGULATE OR BAN SOMETHING IT CAN MEAN – NOT ALWAYS, BUT WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY – ANOTHER LOSS OF OUR FREEDOMS.
THE SECULAR PROGRESSIVES ARE ALL FOR FREEDOM WHEN IT COMES TO ABORTION, BUT AGAINST FREEDOM WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION CHOICE AND NOW IT APPEARS GAS STOVES.
ELECTIONS MATTER. WHO GETS NAMED TO FEDERAL AGENCIES ARE CONSEQUENCES OF ELECTIONS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
