McDonald's CEO Stands Up to Kook Leftist Attack on Happy Meals

Send all the libs to CA and hope for THE earthquake

Right, let's just kill people who disagree with us on political issues.

You are everything that is wrong with our political process.

Not that long ago California was Reagan country.

Hey, let's be fair- California never sold weapons to rogue nations to fund terrorism!

What?! No way! If we lost California, where the hell would conservatives mail-order their sex toys from?

Speaking of which... (runs off to check the mail)

;)

I live in California, I'm not a leftwing or a rightwing nut. Most of us are not extremist, we're just regular ppl trying to make a good life for ourselves and ours children, we're unhappy with what our government has done to our once great state. So please don't wish earthquakes, or more liberals on us. We have enough problems as it is.

Are Cracker Jacks illegal yet? Aside form having theprize in them to entice the kids to eat the unhealthy popcorn and peanuts, the name itself is a bit derogatory and inflammatory. "Cracker" Jacks? Oh the shame ad why are the groups not out to change the name and the prize?

A seed from Rush limbaugh web site and it is supposed to be news? God now I will have to erase my hard drive and clean my computer with bleach after visiting this crap.

Who the @!$%# rammed health care down our throats which is chock full of liberal bull@!$%# designed to redistribute the wealth?

Wow, off topic trolling on your own thread? That's a new one for me... Impressive.

Ah , the daily trolling report sinks to a new low.

Who the @!$%# rammed health care down our throats which is chock full of liberal bull@!$%# designed to redistribute the wealth?

Nobody did that.

I shouldn't reply since it's so off topic, but I'm confused as to how our elected representatives passing a law equals ramming something down our throats.

Goofy off topic hyperbole really doesn't do a lot to promote your viewpoint, Grim.

Wow, off topic trolling on your own thread? That's a new one for me... Impressive.

He's a true Master of the craft.

I shouldn't reply since it's so off topic, but I'm confused as to how our elected representatives passing a law equals ramming something down our throats.

it appears many conservatives or righties love having stuff crammed down there throats, thus why it's always happening,,, Plus...The republicans have been doing it to them for so long they figure it's natural....

BTW, how is mentioning health care deform off-topic in a thread about do-gooders trying to force their values upon all Americans?

It's called conflating the issue. No one really cares that much about the vegan wackos, so you're trying to make it something that it isn't.

It was a vegan group that was against McDonalds, not the federal government, or the Democratic party.

IMO the government shouldnt tell anyone what to do with their bodies. And yes it does look stupid to tax, argue and pass laws on what is bad. I say inform ppl then let them decide for themselves what they want to do with thier own body.

The government has the right to tell you what you can do with your body especially when its ill advised.

Ditto.

The government has the right to tell you what you can do with your body especially when its ill advised.

No they dont. My body belongs to me, and me only. I should be allowed to do what I want with it without interference of my government. That is why we live in a "free country" If I want to drink, smoke, cover my body in tats from head to toe, or eat raw meat everyday I can, if I so wanted to . Is it smart? not really but that doesnt mean the government should stop me from doing those things if a person pleases to do so.

So you would then agree that we should legalize prostitution and drugs, Tinkerfarie?

Because, that's not the narrative you get from a pseudo-libertarian like Rush or pretty much every sitting GOP congressman. They whine when people propose new regulations, yet also block legalization of things they deem morally undesirable.

As a general rule, I believe that people should be more or less free to do what they wish as long as they don't infringe on the rights of others. However, I do support tax on luxury items and things that are generally harmful to the public good (alcohol, tobacco, firearms, drugs, etc.). Also, looking at the numbers for obesity in the US, it seems imperative to our survival to support initiatives in order to attempt to make America a little more healthy.

I agree on a tax for these things however it should be a standard one. You should not have to pay a higher tax for those luxury items. What a person does in the confines of theirown home has no bearing on others. I think prostitution and drugs should be legalized as long as it does not interfere with the well being of others. A persons obesity does not harm me in any way. I eat at mcdonalds, as do my kids and we are small by normal standards. It is called moderation and we are also an active family. If a person cant decipher the difference between moderation and excessive behavior that is their own fault. Many that are obese see no problem with themselves, it is the rest of society that passes judgement on them. So should those that moderate themselves suffer for those that can not. It all about personal responsibility

It's not. But why let the truth get in the way of a good trollish seed?

"Remember I sent one of the Snerdleys over to McDonald's in Times Square and picked up 240 Quarter Pounders with cheese and Big Macs and brought 'em back to the studio and had the whole transaction take place on the phone, on the air, just to stand up and support McDonald's"

My God, I didn't realize just how big Limbaugh was

I don't know how that is supposed to help McDonalds counter loss in sales, that probably what he normally buys for lunch!

regulations do them no benefits...and this article didn't say anything about a tax.

blazera
...and this article didn't say anything about a tax.

It does not have to, its just the Liberal way solving every problem.

There are losers on both sides. I dont believe any side left or right cares about any one persons life unless it is closely related to them. Humans by nature are self absorbed, especially politicians of any political party. Really if its not one side or the other someone is going to be pissed off or not happy.

Where are you, Tyler????

Maybe he's out at the local McDonald's grabbing a burger? Sounds like a good idea actually.

I wish McDonald's delivered. It's too much work to go through the drive in....

I especially love this line

If you look at these people you wonder if they're barely alive, they're skeletal, they're miserable, they are unhappy, and they want to spread that misery...

Don't know about you, but to me that conjures up the image of a certain scrawny ass blonde broad with a prominent Adam's apple who writes columns filled with laughably silly right wing drivel, preposterous non-sequitors and hilariously silly neo con horse @!$%#.

Reminds me of Sarah Palin, too, Thomas Mendip.

blonde broad with a prominent Adam's apple

Perfect description of Hillary Clinton!

Thanks a lot, Robyn. I just sprayed my keybord with my drink. ROTFLOL!!

I do try Chris!

Thanks a lot, Robyn. I just sprayed my keybord with my drink. ROTFLOL!!

did you read my blog yet? smiling

Perfect description of Hillary Clinton!

Ahhhhh errrrrrrrr somebody got smoked! LOL LMAO

did you read my blog yet? smiling

I'll check it out now.

.

Just get rid of the toys in the kids meal and their popularity will drop. So will the obesity in our children.

I have nothing to say that how stupid that statement is!

I hate that "my body is a temple"...

So you are naturally going to be anti-drug war (pro-freedom), right? I sure hope so. Anything else is hypocritical, and that makes god madder than any other sin in the bible.

Ditto!!

I am anti-drug war. The so-called war on drugs is working about as well as Prohibition did. And we know how well that worked. If someone wants to do drugs all the laws in the land aren't going to stop them.

Holy shnikes Tina are u reading my mind!!!

Also every sin in the bible is the same as the other. None is greater or lesser than the other.

Matthew 12 (NLT)

³⁰ “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.

³¹ “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. ³² Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come

Not to get all biblilcal but god was dragged into this

Someone ALWAYS drags god into things.

seriousy it had nothing to do with god but yet it does seem he was placed in this conversation or no reason what so ever.

So you are naturally going to be anti-drug war (pro-freedom), right? I sure hope so. Anything else is hypocritical, and that makes god madder than any other sin in the bible.

and if that does make god madder that any other sin in the bible guess we are all going to hell, and i thought all sins were forgiven,silly me

There is no god. Sorry.

Jesus can't hear ya!

He believes in the Rev. Wright, his marxist god!

Jesus is dead. Has been for a long time. Didn't you all get the memo?

Whether or not he was the son of God is a different topic altogether.

You're going to get booted from the right wing wacko club if you keep making cracks like that.

(sarc.)

Oh I have only a small doubt that a person named Jesus existed back then. However, just a person. Dead now though.

Bumper sticker: Jesus is coming: look busy!

Saw one that said "Jesus is returning...and boy is he pissed!"

And?

And?

And he want to know if you will accept him as your savior? Well will you?

There is no god, so this Jesus fellow couldn't have been his son, so nope. He's no one's saviour. Just a dead man from long ago.

100 bucks says Jesus didn't even exist at all. Any takers?

I concede the point, it is his right, BUT maybe some day he will accept Jesus as his savior. All in all Mr. Snyder makes a relevant point from time to time, and you have to give him props for that.

Hahaha. A great piece of fiction. Just like a certain book I know. It starts with a B... :)

BUT maybe some day he will accept Jesus as his savior.

I did that, many years ago, but then I grew up. I don't believe in Santa Claus any longer either.

The "Dude" the "DUDE" just call me "DUDE". DUDERRINO, DUDE"ESKY", Dudedanator, all in all the "dude' WAS A GREAT AMERICAN, WORTHY OF PRAISE! AND HE BELIEVED IN JESUS!

mmmm....lard!

The government is not who Rush was referring to as leftist kooks; It's a vegan group. They do not make laws, and have every right to attempt to persuade McDonalds to change their marketing schemes.

I know that, but the same rhetoric has been flowing out of the White House, from media pundits, and during the development of the HCR bill. Do you know what's in the bill?

Off topic. Seed your own article.

Not off topic, it's related content. Sorry, I didn't realize it was your article. Oh, it's not is it? Seed your own article.

This is off topic.

Rush Limbaugh is a joke. He can't just say something, he has to make it the biggest 'effing deal ever. What a clown.

This seed is a link to Rush Limbaugh's web page.

Rush's hysterical ranting about something that isn't really a very big story, is at least partly at issue.

It is an allegation without support. I don't like Limbaugh either, but if you're going to call someone a joke and a clown, you should at least back it up.

My supporting statement is that Rush is exaggerating beyond recognition the facts of the story. It was part of my original post.

No, Reagan was a vegetable.......maybe at times Nancy was a vegan :-)

Yes, actually. She thought he was a lying douchebag after he committed treason for his stunt with the Iranians....

And in his last years in office he was a vegetable, he wasn't running diddly, he already had Alsheimers and they all knew it. If you are old enough to remember him, he was obvious towards the end. When they suddenly announced he had the disease most of us just said "Well, Duh"

How embarrassing for you Studiusbagus, to be caught in such an obvious lie, tsk, tsk, what a hypocrite you are!

In August 1994, at the age of 83, Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease,[225] an incurable neurological disorder which destroys brain cells and ultimately causes death.[225][226] In November he informed the nation through a handwritten letter,[225] writing in part:

I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease... At the moment I feel just fine. I intend to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have always done... I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead. Thank you, my friends. May God always bless you.[227]

After his diagnosis, letters of support from well-wishers poured into his California home,[228] but there was also speculation over how long Reagan had demonstrated symptoms of mental degeneration.[229] Former CBS White House correspondent Lesley Stahl recalls an interview when he was president where "a vacant Reagan barely seemed to realize anyone else was in the room", and that before he "reemerged into alertness" she recalls that "I had come that close to reporting that Reagan was senile."[230] However, Dr. Lawrence K. Altman, a physician employed as a reporter for the New York Times, noted that "the line between mere forgetfulness and the beginning of Alzheimer's can be fuzzy"[231] and all four of Reagan's White House doctors said that they saw no evidence of Alzheimer's while he was president.[231] Dr. John E. Hutton, Reagan's primary physician from 1984 to 1989, said the president "absolutely" did not "show any signs of dementia or Alzheimer's".[231] Reagan did experience occasional memory lapses, though, especially with names.[231] Once, while meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, he repeatedly referred to Vice President Bush as "Prime Minister Bush".[232] Reagan's doctors, however, note that he only began exhibiting overt symptoms of the illness in late 1992[233] or 1993,[231] several years after he had left office. His former Chief of Staff James Baker considered "ludicrous" the idea of Reagan sleeping during cabinet meetings.[234] Other staff members, former aides, and friends said they saw no indication of Alzheimer's while he was President.[231]

God libs are disgusting

I don't really care about the Alzheimer's issue. Honestly, I have nothing but sympathy for those who suffer from that terrible disease, and particularly their families. Regardless, Reagan's penchant for supporting terrorism in South America, and for funding terrorists by selling weapons to rogue nations in the Middle East, makes it hard for me to respect him.

I say this as a libertarian, not the 'lib' you were referring to (I assume). Funding terror in foreign nations is about as far away from small government as you can ever get. Reagan was a traitor and a war criminal, and that's all I really need to know about him.

Well... since I kicked processed foods I have lost 20 lbs. and my doctor gasped in amazement at my blood work results this last year for a 40 year old man... They are healthier than most of his 20 year old males. I made my commitment a year ago, and you can't even understand the difference and how you feel like a rotten corpse after having a SINGLE fast food meal.

My weight loss has been all food, no exercise. I once prayed at the alter of processed foods and worked out 6 days a week, only to see no results. I have never been fat mind you (until I was 30 I could run a 4.6 second 40 yard dash), but again...

I will never tell anybody what they should or shouldn't eat, but if you wish to continue to eat your fast food, and your Splenda, and your Sweet and Low and your Soy (3M chemical creation mind you), then go right ahead... I know it tastes great, but I know what it is doing to your health as well.

On that point I agree with you completely. The bigger government thing is a two edged sword... We need bigger government to prevent things like what is going on in the Gulf right now that is actually going to end with the entire southern, and most of the Eastern United States being uninhabitable. But they shouldn't be here telling us what to do with our own bodies...

That goes for food (though we need real regulation of food since most of our food supply isn't fit for rats), drinks, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and medical procedures...
