RFK Jr.: Hog Farmers More Dangerous than Osama Bin Laden

Finding this video and accompanying story in The Washington Times, I knew I had to show it to others WITH the video. Otherwise almost NOBODY would believe it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday said he thinks hog farmers are a greater threat to Americans than Osama bin Laden.

Mr. Kennedy, son of the the slain New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is an environmental law attorney who was testifying before a House Judiciary subcomittee when Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, asked him if a quotation attributed to him in 2002 about hog farmers representing a greater threat than the leader of al Qaeda was accurate.

"I don't know if that [quotation] is accurate, but I believe it and I support it," said Mr. Kennedy, who has been involved in a vigorous legal effort against the meat industry for some years, arguing that manure and other products associated with large livestock producers emit toxic wastes that threaten the environment.

No wonder President Obama wants to cut the Defense budget by 10% and Democrats cheer.

All I have to say is, "Please, pass the barbecued pork. This made me hungry!"

Read the rest of the Washington Times piece and see the video there.

Obama Calling for Defense Budget Cuts

Last Friday, Fox News reported that the "Obama administration has asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion..."

Before that, President Obama signed an executive order that orders the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp to be closed within a year.

It's clear that President Obama doesn't view national security as a priority. Everything else is going to grow. However, defense is going to be cut by 55 billion.

However, what continually surprises me is even after September 11, Democrats still don't understand:

• that people want to really hurt us
• that our enemies tend to target big cities or anything big
• that for the most part, there are more Democrats living in big cities than there are Republicans (see the election results)
  
• If we are attacked again, it is likely that there will be just as many, if not more, Democrats who will get hurt in the attack than Republicans
  

One would think that average Democrats would get these points and actually want to protect themselves and their families.

Too bad, they are listening to Democratic leaders and other liberals such as most of what passes for the media INSTEAD of using common sense.

Have more than two children? You are irresponsible!!!

Think that the political left is harmless?

In a piece in the Sunday Times, titled "Two children should be limit, says green guru", Sarah-Kate Templeton, Health Editor, writes:

COUPLES who have more than two children are being “irresponsible” by creating an unbearable burden on the environment, the government’s green adviser has warned.

Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming. He says political leaders and green campaigners should stop dodging the issue of environmental harm caused by an expanding population.

Yep, you read it right. In order to hold off Global Warming (a theory which is so in dispute -- check the temperature outside lately? check the amount of snow we have had this winter?), this British leader says that a family should limit themselves to TWO children! He further says that British society should encourage contraception and abortion.

Right now, it is merely a recommendation. But how long before they enforce it under penalty of law? Forced abortions like China? How long before it makes it to America?

Freedom? Methinks freedom ought to be registered under the Endangered Species Act.

Read the rest of Sarah-Kate Templeton's piece and shudder.

The Sanctity of Human Life

On January 18th, Dr. Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Seminary, delivered a sermon titled "The Sanctity of Human Life".

If you want to hear an extremely clear explanation why abortion should be unthinkable for anyone, you will definitely want to listen to or read this sermon.

Here Comes Socialism

Yeah, I know it's a column from a few weeks ago, but I thought that if anyone had missed it...

Dick Morris wrote a piece titled "The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism".

I think it's something all Americans should read.

Judge President Obama on his performance

Juan Williams, considered to be a political liberal, wrote an excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal.

It is neither overweening emotion nor partisanship to see King's moral universe bending toward justice in the act of the first non-white man taking the oath of the presidency. But now that this moment has arrived, there is a question: How shall we judge our new leader?

If his presidency is to represent the full power of the idea that black Americans are just like everyone else -- fully human and fully capable of intellect, courage and patriotism -- then Barack Obama has to be subject to the same rough and tumble of political criticism experienced by his predecessors. To treat the first black president as if he is a fragile flower is certain to hobble him. It is also to waste a tremendous opportunity for improving race relations by doing away with stereotypes and seeing the potential in all Americans.

Yet there is fear, especially among black people, that criticism of him or any of his failures might be twisted into evidence that people of color cannot effectively lead. That amounts to wasting time and energy reacting to hateful stereotypes. It also leads to treating all criticism of Mr. Obama, whether legitimate, wrong-headed or even mean-spirited, as racist.
