Campaigning for president in Iowa, Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke thinks farmers need to do their "fair share" to combat global warming, handing over some of their crops to save the Earth.
Kid you not. According to Breitbart News:
Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke proposed Friday in Iowa that the U.S. "allow" farmers to give up their "fair share" of crops to fight climate change.
O'Rourke stood aloft as he proclaimed his message at a rally in Marshalltown, Iowa Friday:
If we allow farmers to earn a profit in what they grow, if we allow them to contribute their fair share in combatting Climate Change by growing cover crops, allowing the technologies that invest in precision tilling and farming, capturing more of that carbon out of the air is another way in which they can make a profit. Keep those farms together, pass them on to the next generation, and allow them to provide us our food and national security, our independence from the rest of the world, our ability to provide for the rest of the world.

The left is not making any bones about their MARXIST designs are they?
Commie cork soaker should live…but he shouldn’t make a habit of it.
Poster boy for: “Dipshit”
Selling them for cash to turn into food that people will buy so they can eat. The Horror!
Modern day Kulaks.

That's mighty big of him, allowing farmers to do what they want with their own private land. Mighty generous.
"Mighty nice farm you have there, Farmer Hayseed. Be a shame if you didn't do what we are allowing you to do with it." -- President O'Rourke.
ALLOW!?
This arm flailing Commie is precisely what is needed for video material this election cycle. Great stuff for our side.
There you are...the left's platforms in a nutshell.
Airdrop this guy into Zimbabwe using his skateboard as a parachute.
Guess the Beta-male missed high school biology when they talked about how plants eat carbon dioxide. If I understand the bleating’s from the church of glowbull warming (which I do), carbon dioxide is the fuel of the coming inferno. So … growing fewer crops would in not only not fight global warming, it would exacerbate it.
The very use of the word "allow," even though it might be construed in a harmless sense, is very telling and disconcerting when spouted by a marxist / communist. He doesn't think "allow" means what you and I think it means. It means he will CONTROL what you do and you are "allowed" to do what he thinks you should be doing.
Not if he will funnel them more taxpayer dollars. Iowa is uber liberal, bought and paid for, by us.. and our children’s children
He's right here because you turn corn into alcohol and then burn it making CO2.
almost like Stalin and the Ukraine
I demand that every time Beto gets into a car he takes a breathalizer test, sound like a plan Beto?
Welcome to the new state of ignorance......
Pretty sure Beto would make a decent fertilizer.
All Democrat politicians are crap.
Farmers grow plants... lots and lots of plants. Plants take in CO2 and emit O2. Is Beto not aware of this?
