RFD America

Just in case you're wondering how much more of your tax dollars the Obama Administration can dole out to their corporate buddies, I thought I'd share with you some of the ridiculous and downright useless projects the USDA is funding with your hard-earned cash. Here are just a few:

The decline of Anglo-American culture began, some would argue, with the 1954 Supreme Court decision, declaring forced segregation unconstitutional in the ruling we all know as Brown v. Board of Education. While the decision rightly ended forced segregation, it did nothing to integrate schools and neighborhoods. Like today, neighborhoods remained naturally segregated by race. There were Black neighborhoods, Chinese neighborhoods, Jewish neighborhoods, Hispanic neighborhoods, and Anglo neighborhoods. Little changed, until 1971 when the Supreme Court, stepped way over its bounds and affirmed the forced busing of Anglo children into Black neighborhoods for the purpose of enforcing the radical left's race-based social agenda. Forty-years later, we see what an abysmal failure this policy has been.

Remember all the happy flap about Michelle Obama's organic garden right there next to the White House? The enviro-nuts nearly peed themselves green. The way everyone was carrying on, you'd think no other president had ever proffered a salute to rural America. You'd be wrong. In fact, plenty of manure has been spread on the White House lawn by none other than presidential cows Mooley Wooly and and Pauline Wayne, who served at the pleasure of the 27^th President of the United States, William Howard Taft.

In case you're not familiar with racism in the USDA, I'd like to bring you up to speed. The USDA has agreed to settle a discrimination suit by BLACK farmers who claim that they were denied services by the USDA. The USDA never put up a defense. Not one little peep. Instead, they settled the case for 4.5 billion dollars--your dollars. Keep that in mind as you watch the video below. This fine government employee claims she sent a White farmer to "one of his own," a White lawyer, to help him. She didn't want to help him because he was White. Hmmm. I smell a REAL lawsuit.

Shirley Sherrod claims the White farmer is trying to show her he was superior to her. He was. She is obviously lacking in both intelligence and grace. Now, she says that this happened 25-years ago, and she uses the excuse that she is trying to help people get us beyond race. Sure she is.

Once again, everyone knows the truth, and in odd ways, everyone speaks the truth. You just have to sift through the rhetoric to find it. Take Glenn Beck, for example. On his show on Friday, July 16, 2010, Beck and his guests, while talking about all things kumbaya, openly admitted that racism exists. They admitted people of every creed and color harbor deeply held beliefs about other races. It's a natural human condition according to Beck, and it occurs in a certain amount of the population.

I admire Glenn Beck. His rhetoric and political views notwithstanding, he has accomplished a great deal with no small amount of personal sacrifice and an abiding faith in God. But every now and then, he says something that makes me shake my head in disbelief. So, here's the question: Do Glenn Beck and David Duke have anything in common? Like it or not, the answer is a resounding "yes."

Glenn Beck has a dilemma, an epic dilemma. The rising star of quasi-news, who blends current events, history, and opinion into a savory cup of tea is about to come up against a big obstacle—his billionaire boss, Rupert Murdoch. It seems the conservative media mogul and owner of Fox News Corporation is about to dip his crumpet right into Beck's cup of tea. This tea party is about to get interesting.

Representative James Clyburn, Congressman from South Carolina, is an unlikely conspiracy theorist, but he sure does have a wild imagination. Clyburn believes that the election of derelict and fellow Democrat, Alvin Greene, to run against Republican Jim Demint in November is the result some sort of shennanigan by the Republican party AND faulty electronic vote-counting machines. Somehow, in a secret and conniving manner, the manufacturers of the machines and the Republicans conspired together to ensure Alvin Greene would be the Democratic candidate. And, claims the howling Clyburn, they were successful. Of course, one wouldn't expect someone of Clyburn's limited understanding to delve deeper.

WASHINGTON – This week during The Ag Minute, guest host Rep. Candice Miller of Michigan discusses H.R. 5426, a bill she recently introduced that would direct the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to change its designation of milk as an environmental hazard.

Louisiana has much in common with Arizona:
