Bloomberg's ban prohibits 2-liter soda with your pizza and some nightclub mixers

Take a big gulp, New York: Hizzoner is about to give you a pop.
Nanny Bloomberg unleashes his ban on large sodas on March 12 — and there are some nasty surprises lurking for hardworking families.
Say goodbye to that 2-liter bottle of Coke with your pizza delivery, pitchers of soft drinks at your kid’s birthday party and some bottle-service mixers at your favorite nightclub.
They’d violate Mayor Bloomberg’s new rules, which prohibit eateries from serving or selling sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces.
Bloomberg’s soda smackdown follows his attacks on salt, sugar, trans fat, smoking and even baby formula.

LESS SODA, MORE DOUGH: If you order a pizza, you cannot get a large bottle of soda delivered with it. Already, Domino’s locations across the city are doing away with 1 and 2 liter bottles of soda, deliveryman Philippe Daniba says. They’ll sell smaller bottles instead — costing you more money and increasing plastic waste.

NANNY MIKE'S CAN'T-DO ATTITUDE
The city Health Department last week began sending brochures to businesses that would be affected by the latest ban, including restaurants, bars and any “food service” establishment subject to letter grades.
And merchants were shocked to see the broad sweep of the new rules.
“It’s not fair. If you’re gonna tell me what to do, it’s no good,” said Steve DiMaggio of Caruso’s in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. “It’s gonna cost a lot more.”
And consumers, especially families, will soon see how the rules will affect their wallets — forcing them to pay higher unit prices for smaller bottles.
Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda.
“I really feel bad for the customers,” said Lupe Balbuena of World Pie in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
Domino’s on First Avenue and 74th Street on the Upper East Side is doing away with its most popular drink sizes: the 20-ounce and 2-liter bottles.
“We’re getting in 16-ounce bottles — and that’s all we’re going to sell,” a worker said.
He said the smaller bottles will generate more revenue for the restaurant but cost consumers more.
It will also trash more plastic into the environment.
Deliveryman Philippe Daniba said he had brought countless 2-liter bottles of soda to customers over his 19 years at the restaurant. The ban, he said, “doesn’t make sense.”
Industry-group officials agreed.
“It’s ludicrous,” said Robert Bookman, a lawyer for the New York City Hospitality Alliance. “It’s a sealed bottle of soda you can buy in the supermarket. Why can’t they deliver what you can get in the supermarket?”
Families will get pinched at kid-friendly party places, which will have to chuck their plastic pitchers because most hold 60 ounces — even though such containers are clearly intended for more than one person.
Changes will be made at the Frames bowling alley in Times Square, where 26-ounce pitchers are served at kids’ parties, said manager Ayman Kamel.
“We’re going to try to get creative,” he said, noting drinks with 100 percent juice are exempt from the ban.
“We’re figuring out a way to have freshly squeezed juice for the birthday parties. We might have to raise the price about a dollar or so.”
Dallas BBQ at 1265 Third Ave. will retire its 60-ounce pitchers and 20-ounce glasses, manager Daisy Reyes said.
“We have to buy new glasses,” she said. “We’re in the process.”
And if you’re looking for a night of bottle service at a Manhattan hot spot, be warned: Spending $300 on a bottle of vodka no longer entitles you to a full complement of mixers.

If you get bottle service at a city nightclub or restaurant, you cannot also get a carafe of cranberry juice like the one hostess Maggie is serving up here at Le Souk Harem in the West Village. Tonic water and other beverages are also limited, even though they are only used as mixers.

The carafes in which mixers are typically served hold 32 ounces, and the most common mixers — sodas, cranberry juice and tonic water — will be limited. Only water and 100 percent juice will be unlimited.
“Oh, my God. Seriously?” said Lamia Sunti, owner of the swanky West Village club Le Souk Harem. “It’s not like one person is going to be drinking the whole carafe. It’s silly.”
The rules are hard to unravel.
Alcoholic drinks and diet sodas are not subject to the ban, nor are fruit smoothies if they don’t have added sweetener, or coffee drinks and milkshakes if made with 50 percent milk.
But what about drinks with small amounts of added sugar? Vendors must determine if the beverages have more than 3.125 calories per ounce.
But they should double-check their math: Violations cost $200 each.

Democratic Socialists Infiltrate the 111th Congress 2009

DSA-Members: American Socialist Voter - Democratic Socialists of America - 10-1-09 by ObamaRelease YourRecords

This Document also includes the philosophy of the Democratic Socialist Party in the United States.  Their globalist agenda and redistribution of wealth from the wealth counties of the world to the poorer countries.  Their felling on "free speech" as long this is no dissent.

This is an informative document a must read for any patriot.  I'm learning a lot from this.

Political Correctness and the Indoctrination of our School Age Children

“You can’t make socialists out of individualists. Children who know how to think for themselves  spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.”
- John Dewey, 19th Century Philosopher, Education Reformer

“The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of Government in the next.”
- Abraham Lincoln, Self-Educated, Lawyer, U.S. President

While we are busy making a living, our educational system is busy indoctrinating our children. If you are a parent,  you simply must understand what is happening in our schools before it’s too late and the Progressives succeed in indoctrinating foreign values and mores into your children which will remain with them throughout their lifetime.
Here are some recent outrageous examples of our educational system at its worst.
While playing a game of ‘rescue the world,’ Alex Evans, a second grader in Colorado tossed an imaginary grenade into a box in a make-believe game called “rescue the World”  Because of the school’s ‘no real or play fighting’ rule, the boy was kicked out of school for an undisclosed period of time. The child said that he “was trying to save people …” in his imaginary world

First, we heard school children in NJ sing praises of Barack Hussein Obama.

And now, the Progressives are writing text books with embedded propaganda with the expectation of molding our  children’s behavior!!!

Children’s Book Wants 3 Year Olds Chanting ‘Union Power’

As a parent, you know that when your kids are young and learning to read that they are very impressionable.  Many of the values, likes and dislikes are formed during these early years and trust me, the liberals know it and are using it to brainwash the next generation.
One of the most impressionable tools to use on young children are their first books, especially ones that teach them basic learning skills such as their alphabet.  I’m in my sixties and I still remember many of the objects associated with the alphabet like A is for apple, B is for ball, C is for cat and so on.  I even learned Morse Code when I was quite young because of picture association and still remember most of it today – A is dot dash – an apple and stem; B is dash dot dot dot – baseball bat and 3 baseballs; L is dot dash dot dot – locomotive front wheel, wheel bar and 2 rear wheels and so on.
Now, a social activist with very liberal and socialist ideas is using his new alphabet book to brainwash kids at the earliest age possible.  Innosanto Nagara is originally from Indonesia.  He came to the US to attend the University of California at Davis.  He is a founding member of Design Action Collective, which is described as a social justice design studio.  Just to remind you, the term social justice is the new way of saying socialistic without people realizing it.
Nagara has recently published a children’s book titled: A is for Activist.  It is being advertised as a ‘children’s book for the 99 percent’.  The purpose of the book is to ‘infuse the alphabet with the energy and consciousness of Occupy Wall Street.’
In an interview, Nagara talked about the book saying:
“It’s pretty awesome to hear a three-year-old saying ‘union power.”
Some of the letter lessons in the book are:
“B is for banner, as in a protest banner hanging off a construction crane
L is for LGBTQ, as in Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgendered and Queer
T is for Trans, as in transgendered
Z is for Zapatistas, as in Mexican revolutionary leftists”
Sadly, the book is already being picked up educators.  One teacher union activist in Oakland wrote:
“This is an amazing book for toddlers.”
Founder of the social justice organization Code Pink, Medea Benjamin heralded A is for Activist saying:
“May a thousand young activists bloom!”
And that is precisely the purpose of this book, to create thousands of kids who will grow up as liberal socialistic activists who will work to undermine what America is all about.
Parents, please be warned about this book.  If your kids attend public school, make it a priority to visit that school and find out if they have this book and are using it to brainwash your child into something you don’t want them to become.  The schools will not safeguard your kids from this kind of teaching, only you can.  You must take an active role in your children’s education.  You need to protect your children like a mother hen protect her chicks and remember the words of Proverbs 22:6 that say:
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
