Just because the duck is lame doesn't mean it can't still do terrible damage to American freedom. Our new Congress, especially the new House, isn't yet seated, and this current Congress can still wreak terrible havoc on our rights if not stopped.
Case in point: Senate Bill 510, believed to be coming to the floor Wednesday, November 17 (pending). This is the food safety version of ObamaCare. Reading the thing will make your head hurt for all its cognitive dissonance. Trying to winnow out its complexity and hidden empowerments is stultifying.
Introduced by Dick Durbin of Illinois, the bill has moved through the usual phases of amalgamation and deal-making. The monstrosity advancing to the floor on Wednesday is not so much "food safety" as it is the decadence of the rights of small farmers, hobbyist food producers, garden-variety farmers markets, and your average small producer of foodstuffs. Under the rubric of safety, this Senate proposes a bill that establishes such new and sweeping powers over how you and I produce and consume foodstuffs that even the Pew Charitable Trusts are calling S510 a clear and present danger. National Health Freedom says,
"It is a dangerously broad regulatory bill giving extensive discretionary power to the FDA over the entire food supply chain without proper checks and balances to avoid abuse of power;
"It would impose one-size-fits-all-regulations on thousands of small and mid-sized farmers, small-scale local farms and food producers, and would drastically burden, to extinction, basic natural and organic food suppliers, thus endangering the lives of Americans who depend on local wholesome foods..."

Dick Durbin’s efforts at promoting an American genocide puts Pol Pot and the Nazis to shame!
That’s the type of thing that the pubbies need to bring up again and again just to get it on the record who the bad guys are.
You heard it right! Have your yard sales this year. If I have a yard sale the gov. will not know about any sales - cash only. Just have to watch out for the county cops stopping by!
We don’t see/hear everything here-—that’s for sure.
But that is news to me and sounds bizarre.
The only way some of the things I’ve seen mentioned here lately could be regulated/enforced would be to set up a national snitch network, a lá Nazi Germany through the SA, Hitler Youth, League of German Maidens, etc.
Spy and snitch on your neighbors, parents, and relatives! Whoopee-doo! Maybe that’s the real purpose behind the “civilian security force as well-equipped as the military” which has sort of fallen off the radar in recent months.
Obama’s radical takeover is surreal. Not one reporter ever asked him outright if he even read the damned bill!
He knows the radicalism in ObamaCare. Why doesn’t he read the entire bill on TV instead of blaming Bush and making excuses?
They’re trick is to repeat one thing about it over and over the patients bill of rights and all get healthcare which did not work. Alinsky is wearing off.The GOP had best step up to the plate and no more freaking games.
... Food stamps”
They like to use the term “Independence Card”. Yeah, independence. Control hunger and you control the masses. Reminds me of the movies like Soylent Green where everyone is hungry and mass suicides are the norm. I truly don’t believe for one minute that people will stop gardening BUT this Bill could then outlaw the sale/distribution of seeds. No seeds = no gardens. A Black Market of seeds will then results. Just a thought.
This seems to be an issue that even conservatives and libbies can agree on. We should post this on some lefty sites and get them calling their congresscritters too.
I am going to send it to my sister. She is a new age, Obama nut...but even she wouldn’t like this over-reach of the federal government.
Back when fools were listening to the radical thug...

BTW:Fact check denies Obama meant anything by this; but Obama just wanted to double up the peace corp. I have some land for sale is La.that is dry and never been in a cane if anyone believes that.
FactCheck LIE!
They're thinking about power and nothing else. This is the way Germany went down.
It's government vs. the people, just like in 1770.
I don’t believe Fact Check that Obozo was just talking about the peace corps! Why would they need to be as well funded and just as powerful as our Military?
Ping to all who love to live their lives without the control of the government trying to protect us from ourselves.
Savage nutrition and food ping. Big mommy gov’t knows whats best for you.

Not to make excuses for inaction but know that my rep Pomroy, a soundly defeated lame duck Rat is and has been next to impossible to contact and does not respont to negative impput.
Done-—that article has made the rounds today.
I’m amazed Beck hasn’t mentioned it...though he did talk about a 30% increase in food prices.
“Protecting us from ourselves” is only the snake oil that the true “ruling class” uses to get the wannabe ruling class on board.
After all, “we’re good people”, and “only want to help those who really have no business making their own decisions”.
It’s a subtle, Luciferian lie.
Not only does it play to the sheeperals need to feel superior and significant,
it also fools them into believing they’re MORALLY superior for “caring” while those who oppose them “don’t care”.
Emailing Rush, hannity et al RIGHT NOW.
Get to the phones, FReepers. When the government shoves us, let’s shove right back.
Look up Codex Alimentarius.
Call end email ANYWAY, then call Beck and Rush, then email some friends and tell them to pass it along.
Chambliss isn’t up for re-election till 2014 and Isakson till 2016—they’re thinking we’ll never remember by then.
