More “legislation through regulation” imposed by unelected bureaucrats. From the Blaze by Mike Opelka, Agenda 21 Update: Family Farms Are Under Attack In Late May, the DOT proposed a rule change for farm equipment, and if it this allowed to take effect, it will place significant regulatory pressure on small farms and family farms all across America – costing them thousands of dollars and possibly forcing many of them out of business. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), part of the Department of Transportation (DOT), wants new standards that would require all farmers and everyone on the farm to obtain a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) in order to operate any farming equipment. The agency is going to accomplish this by reclassifying all farm vehicles and implements as Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs). From the Federal Register, Regulatory Guidance: Applicability of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to Operators of Certain Farm Vehicles and Off-Road Agricultural Equipment Sidenotes 1.) The policies of the United Nation’s plan for global management of people and resources is known as Agenda 21. 2.) The DOT Secretary Ray LaHood holds a seat on the newly created White House Rural Council. A powerful group whose members have ties to George Soros and The Center For American Progress. Editors Note, after this decision was made public the DOT rescinded it’s application. 2011-08-13T13:26:23+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/crap_talker_in_chief/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/crap_talker_in_chief/#When:10:29:51Z 2011-08-13T10:29:51+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/the_anti_president/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/the_anti_president/#When:11:44:33Z Anti Growth Anti Business Anti Capitalist Anti Prosperity Anti Employment   2011-08-09T11:44:33+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/us_unfunded_obligations_will_exceed_planetary_gdp/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/us_unfunded_obligations_will_exceed_planetary_gdp/#When:19:10:05Z From Israel National News by Elad Benari, Video: How Big is the U.S. Debt? According to the video, the total debt of unfunded obligations – the total amount of money the federal government has borrowed or has promised to pay other people – is $65 trillion, an amount far greater than the economic output of the entire planet. And with that bit of information it is obvious that The Congress of the United States is living in fantasy land! 2011-07-31T19:10:05+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/all_your_base_are_belong_to_us/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/all_your_base_are_belong_to_us/#When:21:14:58Z From Fox News by Jeremy A. Kaplan, Russia Plans to Sink the International Space Station in 2020 Russia’s space agency announced Wednesday that the International Space Station—a space base the world’s scientists and billions of U.S. tax dollars helped build and maintain some 200 miles above the surface of the Earth—will be de-orbited and allowed to sink into the Pacific Ocean in 2020, just like its Russian predecessor, Mir. “We will be forced to sink the ISS. We cannot leave it in orbit as it is a very complicated and a heavy object,” Roscosmos’ deputy head Vitaly Davydov said in an interview posted on the agency’s website. “We have agreed with our partners that the ISS would function roughly until 2020,” he noted. A recent headline exclaimed that the era of Soyuz is upon us. Since Russia is the only ride to the International Space Station they probably figure they own it now. Whats to prevent them from just taking it? We have no way to get there thanks to the shortsightedness of Barack Obama. Thanks, Mr. President! Is it 2012 yet? Can’t get here soon enough. Giving up our leadership in Space ought to be an impeachable offense. Some how it’s more important to invest in cowboy poetry than space exploration. What a crime!   2011-07-27T21:14:58+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/quit_lying_mr._president/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/quit_lying_mr._president/#When:03:06:43Z 2011-07-15T03:06:43+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/obama_-_wheres_the_money/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/obama_-_wheres_the_money/#When:21:27:58Z A Bernie Madoff Moment From CBS News by Corbett B. Daly - Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3 I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it, Wait a minute Mr. President, I have paid into Social Security since I was 16 years old. Where is My Money? Do you mean to tell me that you already spent it? How are you different than Bernie Madoff? 2012 can’t come soon enough! 2011-07-12T21:27:58+00:00 http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/quotes_from_clueless_politicians5/ http://www.americanpoliticalorphan.com/index.php/site/quotes_from_clueless_politicians5/#When:12:43:19Z It’s only been two and a half years. I got five and a half years more to go President Barack Obama From Real Clear Politics, Optimistic Obama: “I Got Five-And-A-Half Years More To Go So far the only thing he has improved in two and a half years is his golf game. Hows that Hope and Change working out for you, America? If Barack Obama thinks he has five and a half years left he is delusional. Do you remember Jimmy Carter? Wake up America!
