Teabaggers ignore AZ "Papers Now!" law , while freaking over this FDA vs, Amish Farmer case:
Last Feb. 4 when FDA sent two agents to Rainbow Acres, they ended up in an incident on the farm with owner Daniel L. Allgyer. The FDA agents then found themselves being pulled over by Pennsylvania State Troopers after a trucker they followed from Rainbow Farm called 911.

The Feb. 4 events sparked controversy in Pennsylvania's Amish Country.

Rainbow Acres, according to Allgyer, is "a small family farm" with the goal "to live in harmony with nature." At the time of the February FDA "raid," he reportedly told agents that the farm did not sell anything to the public.

FDA says its investigation "has determined that you are causing to be delivered into interstate commerce, selling, or otherwise distributing raw milk in final package form for human consumption."

Check 3rd comment to see how this is being called Tyranny. Not a peep yet from Tea Baggers Anonymous on the AZ law, but they're getting ready to call this FDA thing another Wako, looks like.

I live not too far from Kinzers. These gun-toting, rage-a-holics are really starting to scare me. Should I prepare for a Teabag Militia invasion of Amish country?

1. That's because the teabaggers only care about oppression of white people.
Oppression of colored people is what govt. should be doing, according to them.

2. Why don't they just come out and say that? At least have the courage of their disgusting
convictions. Cowards.

8. Because they discovered that if they don't say it, the rest of white folks will cover for them...
Allowing them to freely continue to be as racist as they want to be.

3. New: Chuck "Pro-Alito" Schumer's National ID/Fingerprint "Papers Please" law proposal
Edited on Sun May-02-10 12:35 AM by troubledamerican
Thanks, Democrats, for removing the issue that would've unified the nation against Arizona/GOP racists in November 2010.

4. OK, what did I miss? Pro-Alito? On the Citizen's United? (And how did Orwell know?)

5. Schumer & Feinstein led opposition to the Alito filibuster & ensured his safe passage.
Sorry if you don't remember.

6. But he opposed him up to the filibuster vote and now "Regrets Not Leading an Alito Filibuster,"
according to at least one source.

I don't recall, personally, because I've only recently begun to attempt to follow politics in detail, which I have begun to regret, as I now am even more horrified at the American idiocracy that is much of our congress. Ignorance was hardly bliss, but just knowing citizens actually voted Michelle Bachman into office makes me want to leave the country.

My impression was that Schumer was one of the (relatively) good ones.

9. Hmmmm...I see your point. I mostly knew him from what I thought was ongoing support for a strong
health-insurance reform bill.

Thanks for the links.
