Glenn Beck relays a story on the radio today. This should give any freedom loving person pause when discussing “regulations”

I was I think you are at the same place that I was at a couple of weeks ago. It’s amazing, Sarah, what is happening with this particular business owner. You know, he’s bringing these conservative people in. The night before I was there, it was about 10:00 at night and they were doing a concert at this arena and there was ZZ Top. And he went into a bathroom or something and he tries to turn on the water and the water was off. And he went to his building manager and said, hey, what’s with the water.

And he said, you noticed that our water is off? And she said, yes, absolutely. Can you show us where your water pump is? So he takes them around and shows them the water pump and she said, yeah, we notice that we noticed that these valves had been turned a couple of days ago. He said, excuse me? You noticed these valves a couple of days ago? She said, yeah, we’re going to have to, we’re going to have to shut you down and you are not going to be able to do anything else for the rest of the weekend.

Now, I was going to give my speech the next day. The next morning they called and said, you know, you are going to be in violation; you’ve got to cancel this. He said, what happens if I don’t cancel? And they said, well, it’s going to be a misdemeanor, it will be a $2,000 fine. He said, fine me. They shut them down on a Friday night and tried to keep them closed and he says he’s convinced that it’s because people like you are coming in, me, and he’s holding conservatives. And he said, even in his little teeny town of Tyler, Texas, he’s getting the regulation heat.
