Tipping Point - Stronger Afgan Resistance to Taliban

Hearts, minds, and revenge: local resistance to the Afghan insurgency - The Long War Journal http://t.co/FuhIVGc

ISAF success is notable. Myths and common wisdom about past wars in Afghanistan, are not holding true. The Afgan people have reached the tipping point where the enemy is the Taliban, not ISAF. The US mil team and Obama Admin are finally getting us on the road home. Hoo ah!

Goodlatte Says To Hell with Farm Safety Rules

Not Farmer Goodlatte (R) 6thCD-VA and R's on Ag Comm still sucking on Big Ag teat$ http://t.co/iFCsi2x #gopfail #foodsafety #waterquality

Repubs are representing Big Ag & Chem, not small farmers. Unless you are dumping manure in the stream, poorly managing disease in your livestock, killing your farm help or mis-applying dangerous chemicals on your fields ... State and Fed safety regs are No Problem. 

We small family farmers know that it is the Mega Corporate farms, that gobble up the little guys. Fat cat Ag corporations  are wetting their pants over sensible farm safety rules - worried about profits instead people. Talk about job killers -- how about Repubs out-sourcing food production to China? Lack of strong import controls is killing small farms. The Koch Tea fueled Repubs continue to obfuscate and  undercut the FDA, which under Obama's rational science based leadership, is playing catch-up from 8 years of criminal neglect by the Bush II Admin (remember that dillweed?). They are struggling with  food and drug quality problems from an immense variety of sketchy import sources. Yeah... deregulation worked well for the 80+ folks killed by the Chinese Heparin Failure.

Rep Bob is all hat, no cattle. He hasn't worked an honest day in his life. What a crock, that he is speaking for farmers. Simply bullshit!
