I don't think what you say is quite true. We're rapidly moving in that direction, but as seen with Rand's filibuster, anytime (Admittedly not often) SCOTUS strikes down a law, anytime we see state nullification even tried, we aren't QUITE a one-man show yet. We're pretty close though. I still think what we have has in some ways prevented it from being even worse.
It's funny, I was watching a documentary about the revolutionary war and how the urban New Yorkers were mostly loyalists. Times might change but the people don't. Anyway, as long as New York City keeps itself contained and tamed I don't care what they do and whom they choose as their temporary slave-master.
''The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body.''
“Everybody wants their privacy, but I don’t know how you’re going to maintain it. It’s just we’re going into a different world, uncharted, and, like it or not, what people can do, what governments can do, is different. And you can to some extent control, but you can’t keep the tides from coming in.”
“The argument against using automation, it’s this craziness– oh, it’s Big Brother. Get used to it.”
I have a hard time feeling sorry for New Yorkers.
I wonder why he would want to force mothers to breastfeed, considering its actually good for the child. I would expect him to do whatever's worse for the children.
Its a shame wecan'twon't Tar and Feather this fascist pig.

Has AF ever tard/feathered a politician? lol Just between us.
Technically he is right. I mean, think about the 1st Amendment and the whole "you can't yell fire in a theater" or whatever. The politicians have created a system where our Rights aren't absolute anymore.
We don't have rights because we're not people. We're slaves. We're owned by the bankers, and kept in line by their gestapo. Anything that we own, anything that we do, it's because they allow us to.
It seems every time I see theft, oppression, or tyranny, it can always be traced back to bankers. Always. Bloomberg himself got rich off the finance industry.
Dr. Paul was right; the bankers have got us by the balls.
The problem with this train of thought is that we are the market. We decide what passes and what doesn't. It's our own damn fault.
