I cannot even verbalize how pissed off I am. The Utter Evil of these people is beyond frightening, we are no longer talking Dumbo crats and RINOs.

This is pure EVIL.

In your face, in your family’s face.

Here’s OUR side

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*snip*

But negotiations went on through the weekend and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., worked out a deal to let the bill move forward.

Once the House approves it, President Barack Obama is expected to sign it.

The legislation would give the federal government much wider authority to set and enforce safety standards for farmers and food processors, affecting all whole and processed foods except meat, poultry and some egg products already regulated by the Agriculture Department.

Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, proclaimed it a “critical victory” that would “give Americans one of the best holiday gifts they can receive this year — the assurance the foods they are eating are safer

Oh thank God, there won’t be any more thousands and thousands of people dying every week, killed by their food .... /SSSSSS!

This session of congresscreeps will have cost us more freedoms and money than probably any other congressional session in all recorded government history. Lord, save us.

Wonder how/if this works in conjunction with the new National Food Bill Michelle just had signed into the works.

Leave my Parsnips alone!

I became confused when I heard the word ” Service” used with these agencies:

Internal Revenue  ‘ Service ‘ 
U.S. Postal  ‘ Service ‘
Telephone ‘ Service ‘
Cable TV ’ Service ‘ 
Civil  ‘ Service ‘
State, City, County & Public ‘ Service ‘
Customer ‘ Service ‘
Agricultural Service
This is not what I thought Service “meant”.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to’ Service ‘ all his cows.
BAM!!!  It all came into focus.  Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

Sen. Tom Coburn, the outspoken conservative Republican from Oklahoma, had been blocking the legislation. He lifted his objection at the final moment.

If he's so "outspoken" WHY DIDN'T HE OBJECT??? We spend the summers in Oregon and love the little produce stands that are all around the area. What's going to happen to them? Maybe I should've taken pictures of them to put in our photo album...

There is a company advertizing on ALan Keyes website selling unadulterated seeds. I not sure how to say “natural”.

Peaks once again who it was that bought the bulk of the cocoa nut market.

My son has been watching clips of Chef Ramsey and I wish we had some constitutionalists that were as crast in your face about our country as Ramsey about cooking food.

Few years back so many freepers were posting “stock up on ammo” now it seems the tide is turning to “stock up on Seeds”.

/another rant sorry having a bad health day

It appears that the GOP didn’t get our (TEA Party) message. Every republican that voted for this should be thrown out of office.

Hey GOP, quit giving away our rights! Either join with us or get the hell out of the way cuz we’re coming to get you. Let the chips fall where they may.

No more compromise!

Negotiations:

Reid: Mitch here's what I'm going to do.
McConnell: Okey-dokey.

End of negotiations.

Bump I live in Oregon and use local farmers.

We go to the small farmers markets for best price and quality.

Lil old Asian couple kept me supplied with cukes and squash and sold humongous flower bouquets for 10 bucks, what you normally would spend 60 bucks for in a retail outlet.

I bought tomatoes by the case.

Pretty much lived off the combo of those veggies with home bbq Pork all summer.

And the tastiest bread I can find is Safeway 5 seed sliced bread for around a buck and a half.

Bake goodies at home if I have a hankerin so I can make them with more taste less sugar.
The baked goods in grocery stores is just horribly oversweet.
