I got some pork for them. Right here.
There are ribs going on our grill this afternoon!
Happy 4th of July weekend.
Plus, it’s wasteful. Middlemen have to be paid.
That given, we can’t forget the ultimate truth. We were put here by God, and God has arranged to bless us even through an imperfect and sinful world. God wants to save our souls completely and bring us to heaven if we will consent, and when this begins, gratefulness to God for what He has given will also begin.
Let us thank God for what God has given, and embrace what power of His that we can at the moment to bring His blessings to bear to improve the lot of our neighbors. That probably shouldn’t be through programs of government, which carries the danger of turning the government into a manipulable idol, but through ministries of church — while governments become simpler and smaller.
It is an ill wind that blows no good at all, and some things can be said to the good even for “pork” projects. They tend to stabilize our production economics. We can count on the oinkers being there and sacrificing for our meals come rain or shine. There is a danger in this, though, and that is to take too much for granted and to become proud of ourselves.
No Can Do. I just got a fresh load of ammo and I need to render some pig fat for future use.
“...Understanding Washington’s farm policy is trickier today than it was a few years ago....”
No, it isn’t.
It’s about Control, same as it was then, same as it will be tomorrow, and a month from now, or a year from now.
Control the food supply, and you control people.
Bacon burgers, pork burgers, pork barbeque, pulled - outside and inside —— every which way. Pork chops, country fried chops, legs, hocks and jowls - take home some salty jowl bacon!
Sidle up to your nearest effing Muslim and offer them a pulled pork sammich slathered in Bacon slices. Pull open a bag of Chitlins and rinds and offer them to the Muslim kiddies. Squirt some halalel juice on their whatever it is goat shit they eat. Hold high a pork sammich to Allah and Mohammed in tribute.
It’s the desire of sinful humans to get adulation and praise from other people. Now people may praise other people for good reason, but if it doesn’t come from God first then it is in vain.
Heh, heh!
“ALLAHU OINKBAR!!”
;^)
Eat mor cow
Strange article. Can’t see what it has to do with the Fourth. Are we not suppose to eat? Are we supposed to eat something else? Should we protest farmers?
I’m gonna have a sandwich and think about this...
It better be a pork sammich by damn! :0)
Do we want to keep on having our governments in the business of insuring continuity our farm operations — why can’t that be a private affair? Certainly there is a need to prepare for a rainy day, nobody is complaining about this. The only question here is to how. Private organizations have their own pitfalls, but at least they aren’t governments.
Already got our ribs for the BBQ - should I take them back?
Of course! (Pressure-cooked pork butt, tendahhhhh...)
Nice...I have to remember that.
You can take back the bones! Heh heh....
Lots of feral hogs that need killing if you don’t like the thought of buying pork at the store
And I think we could again make a contrarian case for why the current system exists. America has been aware of the need to fight wars from time to time, either to avert dangers to itself or defend itself from dangers (however unwisely politicians have exercised that in practice) and a food supply is one thing tied to that. As it is said, an army travels on its stomach. It could be seen as a measure of national security.
That said, there is plenty of room in the private sphere to boost that without the temptations that come with government ossification.
July 4 was about independence from King George. He had become unnecessary. I think our forefathers would smile if we pushed back against our own unnecessary King Georges too.
