Liberals Want to Ban Black Cars
by James Buchanan
As if liberals don’t micro-manage our lives enough already, they want to tell us what color car we can drive. Apparently it’s not enough to tell people how big a water tank their toilet can have, they liberals want more power and control over us. Liberals demand that businesses hire certain percentages of Blacks and Latinos regardless of how unqualified they might be (or how MORE qualified the Whites applying for those jobs are).
On a recent radio show, Rush Limbaugh observed “If California regulators get their way, auto makers may soon be forced to rewrite a cliche from the Ford Model T era and start telling customers they can have any color they want as long as it isn’t black. Some darker hues will be available in place of black, but right now they are identified internally at paint suppliers with names such as ‘mud-puddle brown’ and are truly ugly substitutes for today’s rich ebony hues. So buy a black car now, because soon they won’t be available or will look so putrid you won’t want one. And that’s too bad, because paint suppliers say black is the second- or third-most popular vehicle color around the world. The problem stems from a new ‘cool paints’ initiative from the California Air Resources Board. CARB wants to mandate the phase-in of heat-reflecting paints on vehicle exteriors beginning with the ‘12 model year, with all colors meeting a 20% reflectivity requirement by the ‘16 model year.”
Someone should tell Obama and the liberals that the LAST thing American corporations need right now is more oppressive government control and more restrictions. Dictating what color cars can be produced is a hassle our nearly bankrupt Big Three automakers don’t need right now. Much more serious than this are the Obama administration’s plans to go full speed ahead with CO2 restrictions on US manufacturing. (more…)
