Obama goes after the farmers
The Washington Times ^ | May 31, 2015 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 06/01/2015 3:16:05 PM PDT by Kaslin

OPINION/ANALYSIS:

Farmers are now the bad guys.

President Obama’s administration last week claimed dominion over all of America’s streams, creeks, rills, ditches, brooks, rivulets, burns, tributaries, criks, wetlands — perhaps even puddles — in a sweeping move to assert unilateral federal authority.

The New York Times had a wonderful take on the power grab, saying the move “opened up a broad new front for attacks from business interests like farmers, property developers, fertilizer and pesticide makers, oil and gas producers and golf course owners, who contend that the rule would stifle economic growth and intrude on property owners’ rights.”

Those, according to the Times, are the demons: Developers, oil producers, pesticide makers. But farmers? Farmers?!

Mr. Obama said that “one in three Americans now gets drinking water from streams lacking clear protection, and businesses and industries that depend on clean water face uncertainty and delay, which costs our economy every day. Too many of our waters have been left vulnerable to pollution.”

Another federal government power grab. Obama is the president our founding fathers were afraid of.

Obama is the reason for the Bill of Rights.

He hates them all.

So true, especially after the supposed opposition party was given control as a counter-balance. What a bunch of weak sisters the Republican Party is controlled by.

No, just not inclined to do anything about it. Why would we risk the loss of our jobs, homes, cars, big screen TV's, and booze to drink while watching the big game! To do anything about any of this would put all of that at risk, and the fact is, there really, truly are no real patriots alive today to do a damn thing about it. Lots of talkers, but in the end, we won't risk our security for freedom. We have already accepted the chains of slavery. The great American Experiment - the American Dream - are all dead, and yet, here we sit, not doing a damn thing about it.

The QIC has failed going after the white man’s guns.
It has failed in enslaving our healthcare.
It has failed at demonizing private business.
It has failed at destroying the white man’s
Christianity.
So now, it has begun to nationalize the two
basic needs of every human ... Food and Water.

Get these meddling busybodies out of my country! These are not even liberal do-gooders. They’re mindless tyrants that belong in North Korea.

I want them out of my life.

If you really want them out of your life, the sacrifice to live free means you will need to:

1. Quit your job (they are forcing you to consent or to participate in a corrupt, criminal tax system and no matter what you say or do, they will continue to do so)

2. Stop spending / accepting FRN's. Accept and spend only gold and silver

3. Be ready to lose your house (when you stop consenting to the government's criminal behavior, you will suddenly find yourself out of cash to pay most the bills. In fact, you'll be lucky to eat)

Forget football season, or any other sports season for that matter. Lack of using FRN's / greenbacks will make it nearly impossible for you to pay for cable, sports channels, or much less, the TV to watch it on.

Be prepared to have jackboots on your doorstep, especially should you decide to follow the Constitution and purchase a firearm WITHOUT a background check.

In plain words, forget getting them out of your life, because not a person alive today has the balls it's going to take to give up all that - AND risk their very lives - to secure freedom. If the Founders were alive today, they would B-slap every one of us.

You have a nice lawn that slopes to wet area, right? Now picture the Head EPA DYKE Gina McCarthy squatting out there with a load of lawyers telling you, you can’t fertilize your laws!
