		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Robert F. Kennedy Jr., president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, a New York environmental group.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I wonder just how much Jr. makes as president of his non-profit? Rep. Joe Kennedy quit Congress for the big bucks of non-profitdom after his babysitter molester brother died. At this time of year, Joe runs many TV ads for his allotment of cheap oil. Joe stars in the commercials and his name is repeated like a mantra during the spots. And he is careful to thank &lt;strong&gt;&#039;the people of Venezuala&#039;&lt;/strong&gt; for their help in supplying the lower cost fuel.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the update on which Kennedy did what.
I really need to know which Kennedy is giving us the lectures on MORALS.

Kennedy the drunk.  Ted and Pat

Kennedy the pedophile banging the 14-year-old babysitter

Kennedy the rapist

Kennedy the drug addict

Oops, just realized there’s a lot of cross over here!
No wonder it’s so confusing.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re mixing up the Kennedy progency.

Patrick “Patches” Kennedy, Ted Kennedy’s son, is a Rep. from Rhode Island, who took a Capitol crash course while overmedicated.

RFK, who is the son of Robert Kennedy,is the eco-Nazi friend of Chavez that is featured on this vid. He has a tendency to publish hysterical political and environmental diatribes. Like Al Gore, he has made the environment and global warming issues personally profitable as he travels about on his Rosinante.

		<description>“Harvard and Virginia Law Grad”

Bringing up accolades?
That’s what’s done when your argument fails.

This moron doesn’t even know the USA is a Republic NOT a Democracy!

Seriously how dumb would you have to be if this “Harvard and Virginia Law Grad”
Impresses you?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Another elitist Kennedy, so worried about democracy and the environment. How about those wind farms out in Cape Cod Robbie?

ctmom on February 4, 2009 at 6:19 PM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

A while back Hannity had this whacko on his show talking about how people needed to give up driving SUV&#039;s and mini-vans. Hannity let him spew out all his leftist eco-marxist rantings before making him admit that, right after his appearance on his show, he was going to get into his chauffer driven SUV and drive to Teterboro airport to get on a private jet to fly down to Florida. Talk about being apoplectic and not able to respond, he was totally broadsided and couldn&#039;t believe that anyone would question his authority on the subject. Last time I checked, there are over 250 commercial flights a day between NY and Florida. 
People like this need to be shown as the true frauds and phoneys that they are.</description>

Idiot! Hog farmers produce a product that they must sell on the free market. That’s the rub for comrade Kennedy. The Free Market just rubs him the wrong way. As for large farms, years ago many farmers in Iowa were forced to sell due to very low prices (the results of government policies). They simply could not make a living any more. Now land in Iowa is selling for $8,000 to $12,000 per acre so the only operations that can afford to farm there are large corporate farms. It’s simple economics…

Your assessment as to why farmers go out of business bcs of govt intervention &amp; land prices is accurate pretty much all over farm country in the US.
But as for hog farmers selling on the &#039;Free Market&#039;-Captive supply mean anything to you?
The hog &amp; poultry markets are basically non-existent.
Many have to have forward contracts. This is the way the Big Packers can legally keep they &#039;captive supply&#039;. This hurts the auction markets.
Many cattle producers do forward contracts, but it&#039;s a gamble.
Many of us beef people sell at auction markets. But they are few &amp; far between in certain areas.
I am fortunate to live in an area with several sale barns to choose from in a 500 mile radius.
Others without the access to markets often get into forward contracts with feedlot people, which then are at the big packer&#039;s mercy.
If the feed lot guy can&#039;t make $$, then we cow-calf folks can&#039;t either.
Look at the govt&#039;s laziness in applying the Stockyards &amp; Packers act.
They are allowing the beef industry to concentrate just like they let the poultry &amp; pork industries &amp; see how that made family producers disappear?!</description>
