The Liberals make a nightmare.

True story, from a few years back. (Before Katrina).

An enterprising guy from the deep South, knew from the weather report, that a Hurricane was headed for his community so:

1) He needed to evacuate

and

2) He saw an opportunity to help out his community and make a few dollars.

So he evacuated, in his van, and while he was up North, he bought several generators, suitable for a limited home power load. Something that could keep your food, and med's refrigerated, and run some lights, etc.

Nothing huge.

So he returns home, and sure enough, the power is all out. So he puts up a sign and starts selling his generators. Of course, he can't sell them at the price that Walmart or Home Depot might - he doesn't have that kind of buying power to get those discounts.

Plus, he's incurred extra costs and risks, hauling these generators around, and putting up the cash, up front. If he doesn't sell them, he's just out of luck.

And immediately, he's arrested! Why? Because the liberals have made a law that you can't sell something in the aftermath of a storm, for more than it sold for before the storm.

So the generators are impounded for evidence, so he can't sell them someplace else, and he's having to hire a lawyer and pay bail, etc.

Now his community can't buy a generator, because all the stores are either sold out of them, or they are closed because they have no power.

But he can't sell his and recover his investment - oh no! Better to have the liberal community sit in the cold and dark, with everyone's food going rotten, by gawd!!

Another example of a law, that "feels right", and isn't. In fact, it works against the community.

This is NOT the report I have posted about, but it is a similar one:
