The government knows best

[Team Sergeant]

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg knows what's best for new moms and he's forcing his opinion (the Governments) on the people of New York City.

Mayor Bloomberg, make sure you disarm the average citizen before you force them to bend to your will!!!! (Already did that.)

Sheeple of NYC, your government knows what's best, they will choose for you.

Stalin, Castro, Hitler, Hussein & Assad would be proud.



NYC mayor wants hospitals to lock up baby formula to encourage breast-feeding
Published July 29, 2012
New York Post



The nanny state is going after moms.

Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed.

Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk program in the nation.


'But it’s our job to educate them on the best option.'
- Allison Walsh, of Beth Israel Medical Center.


Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of the city’s 40 hospitals have also agreed to give up swag bags sporting formula-company logos, toss out formula-branded tchotchkes like lanyards and mugs, and document a medical reason for every bottle that a newborn receives.

While breast-feeding activists applaud the move, bottle-feeding moms are bristling at the latest lactation lecture.

“If they put pressure on me, I would get annoyed,” said Lynn Sidnam, a Staten Island mother of two formula-fed girls, ages 4 months and 9 years. “It’s for me to choose.”

Under Latch On NYC, new mothers who want formula won’t be denied it, but hospitals will keep infant formula in out-of-the-way secure storerooms or in locked boxes like those used to dispense and track medications.

With each bottle a mother requests and receives, she’ll also get a talking-to. Staffers will explain why she should offer the breast instead.Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...#ixzz227paJECC

This is such hypocrisy. The same people who would seek to eliminate a woman's choice of how and what she feeds her child because 'they' know whats best, fight to give a woman the choice to end an unwanted child's life.

Wow... just wow.

I get the theory behind Latch On's (apparently not doin' so hot) program; but another example of something Guv has no business being in.

I think Bloomberg is jealous of Kim Jong-un because a PRK leader has sooooo many other titles - and [Big] Soda Jerk wasn't cuttin' it for him.

Wow. No fire arms, no big gulps, no transfats and now no Baby Formula. Bloomberg is making moves to put him up there with the worst the Left has to offer. What's next, eye glasses? Dennis Praeger says not to compare leftists like Bloomberg to Mao and Stalin, so I won't...

If any of you have dealt with the La Leche League, you will know they are happy about this. I had a friend whose wife was a breast feeder. Even though she wasn't producing enough milk, she refused to give their daughter formula. the baby looked like it was from Auschwitz.

[Badger52]

Maybe he's just being consistent and he'd like to do inspections to make sure things are going ok.

What a maroon.

Speaking of Nanny Bloomberg, here's one for the record:

http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2012/08...hells-georgia/

The Aurora, Colo., theater shootings that took place earlier this month spurred New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to get out his makeup kit and quickly book as many media appearances as he could to advocate gun control.

“[T]he most egregious gaps in gun regulation can be filled,” Bloomberg wrote in an op-ed last week. A few days earlier on CNN he said, “You (the public) can call your congressman, you can call your senator and say, ‘I don’t care, I‘m holding you responsible even if you say you’re going to vote for rationality with guns. I’m going to hold you responsible…” And just before that, on CBS discussing the Aurora shooting he said, “particularly in a presidential year… it’s time for this country to do something.”

Yet, in the New York Times today, Bloomberg’s chief policy adviser John Feinblatt says “We’re about crime control. We’re not about gun control.”

The quote came in response to the Times inquiring Bloomberg’s office why the city sold almost 30,000 pounds of Police Department’s used shell casings to an ammunition store in Georgia, which has far less restrictive gun laws than New York.

The key word to Bloomberg and his ilk appears to be...CONTROL...in many forms and fashion.

Now, off for a Chik-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich - hopefully washed down with a Big Gulp...carryin' some iron.

Awesome - now we just need the owners of Hooters to somehow piss off some idiotic, hypocritical politicians (sorry for the redundancy) and we'll have another excuse for some chicken' !
