From Helen Valois writing in Renew America about ID for animals and what it portends. We saw the same program in France going full swing over a decade ago and it was nearly incomprehensible even then how invasive this socialism is.

Our farmer neighbors there were no longer independent farmers as we would picture, were instead just employees working for the government, tentative workers on what used to be the family farm. They were required to keep up the personnel folder on each animal, and if one died outside of government say so, they were in trouble. Killing an animal for themselves was unthinkable.

No smiley faces here or hopes it will be more benign. Up close it is ugly socialistic smothering control, very real, and soon to come unless stopped.

It is saying, when you think about it, the same thing it said in the Schindler-Schiavo slaying, and in the confiscatory Kelo decision as well. It is saying that it no longer respects our unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What used to be the American government and is now only a shadow of its former self told the Schindler family members they could only maintain the life of their dear daughter and sister with the government's expressed permission, and the government withheld that permission. It told the homeowners in the Kelo case they could only occupy their own homes with the government's permission, and the government withheld that permission. Now, through NAIS, everyone who owns a livestock animal of any kind is being told they can only own them with the government's permission. Does anyone see a pattern here? When will we see it, and put a stop to it as well?

To answer our original question, then, NAIS is not a benign attempt to curb the bird flu, or any other imagined or actual biological threat. It is a socialistic power grab with ramifications far beyond what might be immediately apparent. Just because an agenda is achieved through regulation rather than legislation doesn't give it the right to remain unconstitutional. What is the point of vigorously defending our freedoms abroad while calmly handing them over to bureaucrats back here at home? What do life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness mean any more, if they are to be constantly redefined by those with the power to back up that redefinition through the power of the sword?

NAIS: Get the government out of my barnyard!

March to the left without DeLay...

This comes from a site which states the cold winter weather is also proof of Global Warming. I wonder of those of the Church of Global Warming call their faith Warmism.

In true liberal form just like those liberal trolls hiding in our folds, they project and twist words to opposite meanings, just like their father the father of lies.

In inviting former Congressman Tom DeLay onto their program to discuss the Iraq War, ‘Meet the Press’ lowered the bar for honest debate. After all, he resigned his office because he was indicted. His voice should carry absolutely no weight as this war is discussed. He has no right to interject his feelings and opinions of this war as he did so with the Terrie Schiavo case. In both cases he is wrong. Let us be our own hammers to confront him.

Everyone who speaks truth to power, as far as ending our occupation in Iraq, are true and real patriots and I am sick of folks like DeLay stating the opposite.

Here is what he said on MTP, “Well, I--it, it is my opinion that when you go to war, we ought to all come together. You can debate going to war, that's a legitimate debate. But once you have our soldiers and our, our young people dying on the battlefield, we should come together, and we shouldn't have what we had yesterday on the Mall of, of, of--in Washington, D.C. When the--those are not, in my mind--my opinion, patriots that are talking about impeaching the commander in chief.”

Bush, DeLay, Perle and others are collaborators against American People

You folks who like to eat meat, fish or fowl: you'll soon have to leave the country to do it.

I don't know if the bureaucrats will be able to tattoo vegetables and grains and the like, and steal the rest our food. It will be a challenge. But in some nameless bureau, they're working on it.
