FOR FIRST TIME, MORE CORN IS TO BE USED FOR ETHANOL THAN LIVESTOCK...

http://thegazette.com/2011/08/15/for-first-time-more-corn-to-be-used-for-ethanol-than-livestock/

And that's why our food is out of sight, your car is needing more repair, and the emissions and the cost of ethanol far outweighs its greeny goodness.

Let's cut out the crap: Feed livestock real grain that's wholesome and safe, and use our wonderful natural resources in a safe way.

We already know that climate change is a hoax. Now let's get back to the business of farming for real, and drilling for oil and other energy resources.

And toss this administration, all the Rinos and their brethren out on their ears. Or rears. I really like the latter better.

TODAY IS EASTER, AND MANY OF US ALL OVER THE WORLD CELEBRATE KINDNESS, COMPASSION, REDEMPTION IN A TRIUMPH OVER DEATH

All of us have seen the depictions of Christ, a gentle man, surrounded by animals, often carrying a lamb, children, disciples who is the symbol of Christianity, a man of miracles, the epitome of purity and goodness; who would never harm an innocent. Today the Resurrection is celebrated worldwide - the triumph of good over evil, eternal life after death.

And then when I booted up the computer, and the CNN page came up, a video caught my eye.

It was an undercover video taken at a calf ranch in Texas and the vicious cruelty meted out on these innocent animals destined for your table by cruel men without souls. What is it in their mental and emotional makeup that makes cruelty all right?

There are several agricultural states and a Senator (scroll through the blog - you will see the entry about photographing cruelty at ranches, farms, labs and puppy mills and making whistleblowing a felony) from Michigan, I think, who are prepared to lobby for this victory. Florida is one of them.

What you are about to see is so graphic that the tv reporter couldn't allow most of it to be viewed.

I just watched the first minute and burst into tears and sobbing. I have been fortunate enough to have kept livestock in my care since the 1970s. I'm sick about this.

Even if you are not inclined to act on behalf of animal welfare, this is YOUR food supply.

There is a humane way of ending the life of a suffering animal by way of a merciful bullet.

These people are barbarians.

DO NOT LET CHILDREN WATCH THIS VIDEO.
IT IS MUCH TOO DISTURBING.

GROCERY PRICES SKYROCKET FASTER THAN OFFICIAL INFLATION

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/380/101/Grocery_prices_skyrocket_faster_than_official_inflation.html

$1.99 for eggs?
$5.00 for a pound of butter?

Wal-Mart opened a supercenter locally. The prices are going up. I go there only if I have to, and I never buy anything made in China. That's becoming China's company store. Wait till Janet Napolitano's ugly mug starts encouraging us to spy on fellow shoppers. That's the day I leave permanently.
Bought some bbq chicken wings last night at the neighborhood market's deli. Price was the same, but for four wings less. In the smaller box, 10 instead of 12.

USDA DECLARES WAR ON POTATOES, SOROS FUNDS WAR ON FOX AND GLENN BECK

http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/usda-declares-war-on-potatoes-soros-funds-1-million-mma-war-on-fox-news-and-glenn-beck/

Why don't we declare war on anyone or anybody or any agency who declares war on our food?

Second comment: We know who Soros is, and what he's up to so he ain't gonna win. At all.

Are the Feds stockpiling survival food?

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=70281

This goes along with the above from a survival list.

Want one more palpable sign of a desperate economy?

An estimated 40,000 people came to a Weld County farm Saturday to
collect free potatoes, carrots and leeks.

Cars snaked around cornfields and parallel parked along Colorado 66
and 119 early in the morning to get free food from the Miller family,
who farm 600 acres outside of Platteville, about 37 miles north of Denver.

As this prolonged Indian summer continued, the Millers had decided to
give away produce because so much was left over at the end of their
annual fall festival. Any day now, a few deep freezes would kill it off.

They expected between 5,000 and 10,000 people spread out over a couple
of days. Instead, they found themselves on Saturday morning inundated
with cars and people with sacks and wagons and barrels ready to
harvest whatever was available.

The Millers canceled the second day of the giveaway originally planned
for today because, as Chris Miller put it, "the pickins' are very slim
now."

At one point, 30 acres of family farmland had become a parking lot.
Their crowd estimate of 40,000 plus was based on the number of cars.
Sheriff's officials said they "wouldn't be surprised" if that count
was accurate.

Traffic was backed up almost to Interstate 25, and police ticketed
people who had illegally abandoned their cars in the frenzy.

"Overwhelmed is putting it mildly," Miller said. "People obviously
need food."

Evidently, Platteville isn't the only place where this is the case.
Last week in Denver, thieves broke into freezers owned by the Park
Hill Grandparents Organization and stole Thanksgiving trimmings —
including more than a dozen frozen turkeys — set to be donated.

And in Lakewood on Saturday, people lined up in the dark at 6 a.m. to
collect Thanksgiving boxes, donated by the Jeffco Action Center. By
the end of the day, 5,141 people had gotten food — the biggest demand
in 40 years.

At the Miller Farm, it never got truly unruly.

They had friends and family members help direct cars. Sheriff's
deputies cruised up and down highways trying to move traffic along,
after fielding complaints from neighbors.

The family makes most of its money in the summer and fall, visiting 42
farmers markets a week, and hosting a fall festival where relatives
charge an entry fee and then teach people about where their food comes
from.

Normally, any unpicked produce goes back to the land. But after
hearing reports of food being stolen from some nearby churches, the
Millers decided to let people take what they wanted for free.

Sandra Justice, a Greeley resident who works at a technology company,
brought her mother and son to pick potatoes. The price was nice, she
said, but Justice also enjoyed picking her own food in these
downtrodden times.

"Everybody is so depressed about the economy," she said, noting she
hauled off about 10 bags of vegetables. "This was a pure party.
Everybody having a great time getting something for free."
