17. August 2012, 22:36:30 Subject: Freedom of speech... Up to 30 people including dairy farmers have blockaded a Muller factory in Shropshire. The Market Drayton protest, organised by Farmers for Action, is part of a campaign to get a better deal on the price they are paid for their milk. Tractors and trailers blocked two entrances on Friday evening. A Farmers for Action spokesman said it expected to blockade the site until 02:00 or 03:00 BST on Saturday depending on negotiations with Muller. About 20 or 30 people were estimated to be involved, BBC reporter Kate Tebby said. Farmer Paul Rowbottom, from Farmers for Action, described the action as a "gentle reminder". He said: "People are going to go bust. They're getting paid about 25p a litre and it's costing 31p a litre to produce it. "All the supermarkets and dairies have got to get the price back to the farmer. There would be a 24-hour shutdown in the future if they don't come and give us the money. "We'll just keep going one by one [with protests] until they get the message." 17. August 2012, 23:01:52 Subject: voter suppression (V): This campaign to suppress the vote is a real head shaker.Not only do so few vote already, but even those putting the new laws in place admit the cases of fraud a miniscule, like 10 cases in the last decade.In fact , this Republican admits it is intended to block Democrats from voting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o32tF-S6K60 how do they get away with this crap? 18. August 2012, 00:28:12 Subject: Re: this Republican admits it is intended to block Democrats from voting. The Col: Party endorsed vote rigging... We have had times when some MP constituencies have been 'resized' or split because of population increases, but that has been pretty much it. N' it's been agreed by the parties and voted on... Then their is the public view.. Guess our liberalism pays in a good state education system... Even Catholic/N' other 'faith' schools are obliged to teach the national curriculum. I guess we're just more 'awake' over here to what is a con... having a free press also helps  ... and some who work in government who still have a conscience  18.

(V): It's kind of ironic that American soldiers fought(fight) wars to allow democracy and free elections , but somehow that right is compromised in the USA,. That's pretty sad, vets must shake their heads 18. August 2012, 00:54:54 Subject: Re: this Republican admits it is intended to block Democrats from voting. The Col: ... Big Lies, ideology and an encouraged system of limited education. Ahhh... Evolution supposedly being an affront to God as a perfect excuse. ... Fear of God was supposed to be the first of things, not the last. 18. August 2012, 01:28:30 Subject: Re: voter suppression  The Col: HOGWASH. Libs crack me up the way they foolishly spin things. No one can ever give me a good reason why I.D. SHOULDN'T be required to vote. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. It's just logical. It's one of the most important things we do. One of the biggest responsibilities, and people SHOULD have to prove who they are to do it. God it sickens me when people are stupid about this. And let's see some proof that the "Right media" started anything : " I really think the media is the main reason behind it.It started on the right, but the left have decided to hit back just as hard , which is fair of course," It would be just yet another distraction to everything. Then someone shows something that the "Left" did earlier. and so on and so on. Mama! He started it! Please. 18. August 2012, 02:32:32 Subject: Re: voter suppression rod03801: No kidding. I guess liberals (and Canadian conservatives) see nothing wrong with allowing anyone to vote, especially the ones who can't (or won't) follow the rules. (V) made the point that it's not about logic or morality, but it's all about survival. He makes this admission, and then tries to appeal to our logic and sense of morality... I honestly don't think he pays much attention to his own rhetoric. Here the left leaning news media had their way for a long time until the right started to hit back. At first I thought The Col was talking about Canadian media... I don't know anything about that, I just know what has been going on with the American media. Sometimes I don't know if these guys are talking about their own countries, or about Mars, or the lost City of Atlantis, but then I remind myself that these are liberals who are talking. 18. August 2012, 05:01:56 Subject: Re: voter suppression  rod03801: guess they never heard of richard m. daily. a lot of dead people were voting in chicago for a lot of years! lol 18. August 2012, 06:50:37 Subject: Re: voter suppression  rod03801: Those on the left need a whambulance! Voter fraud is well documented and the left knows it. And if a person is too stupid to figure out how to get a voter ID then they shouldn't vote. I'm tired of the voter fraud. Do the left wing nuts only believe those on the right are intelligent enough to obtain a proper ID? |
