Yeah, I'm not sure why conservatives would be against this. They genetically modify food, patent it, and sell it to farmers. Then they sue the crap out of farmers if they're caught using them without authorization.
It's a pure capitalist dream. You wanna eat? Pay the corporate office.
LOL - Poor ol' Solar is now trying to claim Jim Carey is an idiot because he spelled garlic wrong. Apparently Solar isn't getting the joke Carey was making about Garlique. Would love to start a thread over there about Muzak to see if he had an idea what I was talking about. What a moron.
Churn, churn, churn is the wingnut way. They have to find insignificant
little stories of no interest just to keep their delusional world view going.
Well, I think I've finally found the reason for Thorny's troubled relationship
with English spelling and grammar, though it does seem to be improving
a bit. Like many of his personal anecdotes, I take this one with a large
dose of skepticism.:
"This isn't a new problem but it is a union problem. Back 35 years ago
I had teachers who would walk into the class room write on the board
what pages to readAnd leave not to be seen for days. Usually could be
found in the gym sh ooting hoops."
Ever notice whenever something happens that the nutters don't like, they
usually blame it on the media or the education system? Wingnuts=Hilarious.
The nutjobs are still going ballistic about the two Obama daughters'
vacations. Here's a blast from the past. Just imagine what they'd
do it Obama's kids did this. Ohhh, never mind....
Imagine that while Bill Clinton was president, Secret Service agents had
gone to fetch Chelsea Clinton's boyfriend from jail, where he'd been
arrested for public drunkenness. One could imagine days of righteous
indignation on talk radio and pundit television about misuse of the Secret
Service and the lack of dignity surrounding the Clinton family.
In fact, the Secret Service did go to the aid of a drunken friend of the
first family -- not the Clintons, but the family of George W. Bush.
The incident occurred in Fort Worth a few weeks ago when an intoxicated
college student was arrested at a rowdy fraternity party and was, according
to the county sheriff, "very vocal about the fact that he was Jenna Bush's
boyfriend.'' Partygoers said George W. Bush's 19-year-old daughter, a
freshman at the University of Texas in Austin, attended the party.
After the student used his cellular phone to make a call from his cell,
Secret Service agents arrived at the jail to get him out. It was reported
that Jenna Bush waited outside the jail in a Secret Service vehicle. The
White House didn't comment on the matter, and the story disappeared from the
news in a day.

A couple problems with his argument: the people involved have not identified which political party they belong to, and there are no teacher unions in Georgia. But does that stop Thorn and the other wing nuts from joining in to the circle jerk? Idiot Supsla is even claiming Bush created standardized testing.
What a bunch of mindless morons, living in a little bubble protected from anyone and everyone who might shoot down their BS with actual facts.
That's funny. There are some "associations" in Georgia, but collective bargaining is not legal. Overall nationally, about 40-something percent of public school teachers are in unions. I wonder if "Kramarat" happens to have a chart showing comparison of percent of union membership in a state with that state's ranking on standard tests. Not that there's any correlation just because of the coincidence that Mississippi is at the bottom of both those numbers or that Massachusetts is toward the top on both. Naaa, dam unions are causing zombie attacks.
Here's a question for the teacher-union haters, if any would show up to answer (as if). Jacksonville teachers are mostly represented by Duval Teachers United, which is a "real" union, meaning they engage in collective bargaining. (Of course, because of severe limitations in Florida, the public unions refer to it as "collective begging.")
The entire Duval school system is unified, and is one of the largest in the country. The district has two schools that are consistently listed among the best in the nation (Stanton, Paxon) and also has a couple that are consistently down around the "D" and "F" level. So - logic would say that the union members are in the sorry union schools and the "nations best" schools are non-union, right? Opps. All schools are staffed from a common pool, most of whom are DTU members. Find any analysis that can show the union causes poor student performance. "We'll wait."
OK, let's look an another example. barely-if-at-all unionized South Carolina should have excellent schools, right? Opps. Finding the bottom 25 poor-performing schools in the nation turns up 6 from SC. For those of you who went to one of those schools, that's about 24%! Almost a quarter of a list of the worst performing public schools in the effin' nation are in anti-union SC.
Idiots. They're probably all home-schooled by their cousins/girl friends.
Ombudsman wrote:The idiots have gone so far now as to blame Obama for genetically modified crops.
I'd blame others, too, but Obama has been pretty weak on the issue, even on just labeling. The FDA is close to approving GMO salmon. There will be escapes, wild salmon will be corrupted.
We've been genetically modifying our food for thousands of years, that part doesn't scare me so much, but when we have corporations with a profit motive doing this without concern for safety I worry.
If the cons only realized what happens under "for profit" healthcare.
Solar's latest "I saw this article and couldn't bring myself to read it and hear his [Obama's] nasally, condescending voice with every word I read, just hate the guy that much."
Nasally voice? This guy has a serious problem perceiving reality properly.

It's exactly the same! LOL, I know what you mean.
I'm just saying I would feel a lot better if it was being done by a non-profit with open research. The worlds food supply should not be controlled by a corporation with a profit motive.

Now the lunatics are crying because the pastor at the church where Obama is attended Easter service this morning said, "captains of the religious right want blacks at back of bus, women in the kitchen, gays in closet." They're actually calling it hate speech. Guess the truth hurts but what's amazing is that preachers all over this country say all kinds of crazy shit in their sermons every weeks but if Obama is in attendance suddenly he's responsible for everything the pastor says. No wonder these clowns are scared of Obama. They believe he has way more power than he has. What a bunch of whiny chicken shits.

Now that airhead justkari just posted this little bit of idiocy. "I think all churches should be able to speak freely, but they can't. Again, free speech for all churches, or none, if the government is going to threaten conservative churches for speaking against policy, then churches like this should receive the same."
Little girl, all 501(c)(3)'s are prohibited from promoting a particular party. Otherwise, they can speak freely. If they want to be a mouthpiece of the GOP though, they simply need to abandon their (c)(3) status in favor or a 501(c)(4) status and start paying taxes.

If a Republican president had signed the "Monsanto Protection Act" the nutters would
have welcomed it as decreased regulation of a capitalist company. But because Obama
signed it, it's very bad.
And the wingnuts show a deep and subtle understanding of religion in contemporary
Europe. These guy don't miss anything.:
Atheism is in Europe is at the point where if you say you believe in God people question
your intelligence, both people that are right wing and left wing. Mainly because they have
never heard anything of intelligent design and never heard any arguments for the existence
of God. The right wing is more Ayn Rand strand of individualism or National Socialist so there
is no wonder why there is no place for christianity both left and right in Europe.
