Bob Parker Blows Away the Competition

I know I'm dumb as a box of rocks sometimes, but who or what is this group? Someone educate me please.

it's the same group that is supportive of Ron Paul's 9-11 conspiracy theories. they're board has also given Bob Parker money. They all get together and talk about how the government micro-chips babies and about how the aliens are reading our thoughts.

Seriously though, the idea that because someone mentions something on their website X number of times means their right on that particular issue is so illogical and backward it shows how poor our educational system is in this country.

he probably got kicked out for being associated with this group of crazies

Wow this sounds like a completely bogus study. I agree with you northside because somebody can throw out a bunch of feel good keywords doesn't make them qualified. These feel good keywords are the same thing that get the regular rats elected in the first place.

Before you call people "dummies" it might help if you learned to spell about a 5th grade level.

I would say the first three words of Bob's title, and those three words alone, couldn't be more true.

Ha Ha Ha, you Bob Parker freaks make me laugh.

get a life...and go back to high school. you obviously fell asleep during grammar and spelling class.

So, just what part of the Constitution do you people have a problem with? Instead of wasting time bashing someone's grammar or spelling, maybe you could post some facts about your candidate's voting record.

Oh, that's right, she always votes with the big government socialists. Not much to brag on there. Time for your bailout queen to retire.

To begin with, the group's charter is vague and virtually meaningless. Ho hum. If Congress were to pass a law in violation of the Tenth Amendment, the federal courts (most of whom are conservative appointees--look at our own Judge Limbaugh) could strike such a provision down. Very few federal laws have been so stricken. The Supreme Court has 7 Republican appointees and has stricken only one federal law to my knowledge (provisions of McCain-Feingold) in the last year. So, apparently even by the view of conservative courts (and Alito, Thomas, Scalia, Roberts and Kennedy are certainly conservative) there have been no Congressional violations of the Constitution. You can disagree with what Congress does, but radical assertions of unconstitutional conduct serve no purpose.

Also, it sounds like one of those things Mr. Parker knows about this study and intentionally put on his website and place it in speeches just so he could get this award and post this story.

Way to eat it up, HellandDamnation.

"You can disagree with what Congress does, but radical assertions of unconstitutional conduct serve no purpose".

Oh yeah Viked, what makes you think so. I don't have anything radical in mind for Congress I just want to see it abolished!! I would also like to see Sovereignty returned to the States. Since our own Civil War those rights have dwindled to where they are at today. Now the fed holds States hostage until they conform to its liking.

Any one who believes the Fed. Government should continue on its path of destruction is a out of touch and out of their minds. Some very tough times are coming for our politicians and those times are way over due. Vote for any candidate that stands behind State sovereignty and States rights.

Almighty said, "Wow this sounds like a completely bogus study. I agree with you northside because somebody can throw out a bunch of feel good keywords doesn't make them qualified. These feel good keywords are the same thing that get the regular rats elected in the first place. "

Yeah Almighty, sounds much like our New President Mr. Barack Obama ! Yep, exactly like him. FEEL GOOD KEYWORDS is in FACT all he is good for. jmo

January 29, 2008 By Bob Parker, Texas County Missouri

Dear Legislators and Governor Blunt,

As a very concerned cattle producer in Missouri I am writing to voice my horror in what is happening on the Federal Level and in every State in this Union. USDA along with Farm Bureau and Big Ag interests, as well as Technology companies such as Veri-chip and Digital Angel, [See the membership list of NIAA] have conspired together to create the ultimate regulatory monster called The National Animal Identification System, or NAIS. As a member of Missouri Farm Bureau I was horrified to see that Missouri Farm Bureau President Charles Kruse sent a letter to USDA [July of 2005] saying that MOFB was supportive of a mandatory NAIS and that MOFB also supported the NAIS program going mandatory, this letter said in part;

[ We believe a mandatory Identification program will ultimately be necessary...] [all livestock species listed should be included...[29 species] [The suggested timeline for implementing NAIS is realistic ] MOFB letter July 6,2005

Note; The latest Document on NAIS, the 2008 NAIS business plan, states on page 41 that the 2005 NAIS draft plan that Mr. Kruse was commenting on " remains the catalyst to achieve a uniform system nationwide and, on occasion, are added to." In other words, the '05 draft plan is still the foundation of NAIS.

Believe me, the last thing Charles Kruse wants is for you and Farm Bureau's members to know about this letter and their involvement in pushing NAIS. Most members I know of that have seen this letter have left Missouri Farm Bureau. I was personally voted off my FB board in Texas County before I could show my other board members this letter after speaking out about it. This letter does not involve the grassroots, they didn't even know about it or the details of NAIS and most still don't! I was going to inform the members of this at the annual meeting but was removed so that couldn't happen. So much for grassroots!

To read more about the expulsion go to;

http://henwhisperer.blogspot.com/2007/08/texas-county-missouri-farm-bureau.html

NAIS includes not only forcing livestock owners to register their farms, thereby subjecting themselves to unwarranted searches of their farms by USDA, but also tagging 29 species of animals with computer chips, some of which will be injected into the animal.

Additionally, NAIS will force farmers to report 14 events within 24 hours with USDA via computer or call in. I want you to know that the members of MOFB were never aware of the details of NAIS and MOFB has done everything in their power to cover-up the details of NAIS. I would be glad to come in and personally show you the facts. I would welcome Charles Kruse to be there and have to explain what he has done and how he has covered up the truth about NAIS to his membership. Mr. Kruse has sent letters to MOFB members saying that I am misrepresenting the facts about NAIS, but he has never answered me as to specifically what I am saying that is untrue or a misrepresentation.

Now you all have a letter from MOFB signed by MOFB Charles Kruse, dated Jan 28 th 2008 opposing SB 931.

The letter states MOFB policy; "We favor a voluntary (not a USDA or State Mandatory)...

I want to point out that NAIS is currently being rolled into all existing MANDATORY Missouri Dept of AG animal health programs. Just ask Missouri State Vet Taylor Woods. He told me himself that NAIS is being rolled into existing Health programs. The current cooperative agreement between USDA and MO Dept of Ag states on page 26 that premise numbers will be mandatory for import and export of livestock, friends, that will not be voluntary! MOFB has never told its members that!! If they have, where have they? Ask Leslie Holloway or Mr. Kruse for the documents where they told their members this. They do not represent the heart and soul of Missouri livestock owners!

On page 26 it also states Premise ID numbers will also be mandatory for all disease programs, Bovine TB, Brucellosis, Johne's, Coggins testing, Scrapies, ...ALL PROGRAMS!! Remember, NAIS is not just Premise Registrations; it is tagging, chipping, and TRACKING! 48 hour trace back! If you want to know how they intend to get 48-hour trace back you must understand what USDA and MOFB are proposing, but proponents never tell anyone the details until it is too late! Ask MOFB to show you where they have ever showed their members the details of what must be done to get 48-hour trace back! Ask Leslie Holloway for the documents. Ask Charles Kruse for the documents where members are told the details and then want that in their policy. They can't, and believe me, they sure don't want you to ask them for it. For the record, for two years I have begged them to tell their members that full story about NAIS, as far as I know, they never have! As a legislator you must ask yourself is this leadership of MOFB really representing their members interests? Honestly, how many farmers that you know would support this if they knew these details I have mentioned? Any?

Farm Bureau mentions that they are going to tell everyone how you vote on this. Your constituents may also have this letter. Which one will carry the most weight? I have no doubt I am telling the truth here and that time will prove me right. NAIS will be implemented in just a matter of months now. Just remember this letter after NAIS is implemented and your Farm community is devastated over the coming years. Will you just do nothing? Will you just talk about saving the farm but do nothing when it really matters? We need you to stop this now, not later. We are out of time...don't let them tell you we can't sell any livestock in the future without NAIS. We have gone 200 plus years as a country with out NAIS. Believe me, we will do just fine without it...

Opponents of NAIS have had over 22 meetings across Missouri in the last two years explaining the details of NAIS to the citizens of this great State. We have 12,000 signatures on petitions opposing NAIS. I appeal to you in the strongest of terms. Before you listen to proponents of NAIS, find out what is really happening with this program. I have asked at nearly every meeting how many oppose NAIS after hearing the facts right out of the USDA documents. 99.9% say they do not want this program!

I have been in the livestock industry all my adult life and also as a youth growing up on a farm. Never in my life have I seen a program that will devastate small farms like NAIS will. The costs involved, the labor involved, the liability involved, the list goes on and on.

I have registered cattle and a registered brand. I have always ID'd my cattle. I am proud of what I produce but I don't want the government coming on my property and fining me and my healthy cattle for lost ear tags or other areas of non-compliance with NAIS. USDA already has disease protocol in place that have eradicated and controlled disease. These programs work. They will even tell you that these programs have worked so well they have trouble tracing animals because we are so disease free. Don't let them tell you that we must have NAIS to survive, we can't survive WITH NAIS as small producers.

This legislation, SB 931, will help to keep NAIS from being implemented in Missouri. It must be addressed on the Federal level too. Maybe we will lose this fight. Maybe we will have legislators that refuse to get the facts about NAIS before moving ahead. Maybe small farmers are a thing of the past. Maybe the fight is too big. Maybe the program is too complicated for most to understand until it is too late.

Maybe fascism and Big Government will take over every aspect of our lives before long. Maybe every living thing will be chipped, tracked, and regulated. Maybe the Federal and State Agencies really will take over America as our legislators relinquish their ability to govern with common sense and wisdom. Maybe we will have to have a premise number and chip our animals and report all movements within 24 hours, maybe we will have to have this number before we can buy or sell, maybe the principals that led our founding fathers are too old fashioned for our modern world to understand anymore, maybe our Constitutional freedoms and rights of free exercise and privacy and property rights are outdated, but so help me God, I will fight it until my last breath...

Sincerely,

Bob Parker

Raymondville, MO

how many of those "great missourians" that you list support you Bob?

oh, that's right...NONE

because you are a crazy person who has been kicked in the head by a cow one too many times.

no one votes for a third party candidate, because they are all like Bob....nuts.

you are wrong on over half your "facts"

just because you say it, or heard it from the voices in your head, doesnt make it true

you are more nuts that he is

Wow, hell and damnation! Glad to here there's nothing radical about Parker's views. He just wants to abolish Congress! Nothing radical about that. Since the Congress is established by the Constitution, how can he want to abolish it? That's not radical. It's crazy.

Viked, I'm not seeing where H&D has said anything about abolishing congress. That was Greywolf, and I strongly suspect he meant to just vote out the incumbents. Honoring the 10th Amendment does not involve abolishing congress.

I'm also not seeing where you or anyone else is willing to defend Emerson's voting record other than by posting a lot of juvenile insults.

Of course I wasn't expecting much more from the Emerson camp.

lewis--It was Greywolf who spoke of abolishing Congress. Again, Conservative courts have found virtually nothing unconstitutional about what Congress has done. Voting records are fine to discuss. To imply that people are doing something unconstitutional when they are not is an insult as well. Lets talk real issues, not wild accusations of unpatriotic behavior or socialism. Agreed?

No, you haven't turned anyone away. These are people firmly planted in the other camp regardless of the truth. You have helped explain some unknown things to people still trying to make intelligent decisions. These articles not only point out answers about some issues, but also demonstrate that Bob has been aware and politically active for some time now, trying to help our community with our everyday problems. He will be a true citizen's representative--not just a 'photo-op' politician.

Hell and Damnation--Wow, are we having a bad day?

I am disgusted by the immaturity of everyone who has commented on this article. I am Jo Ann's neighbor, and she lives across the street from me in Cape Girardeau, near Southeast Hospital. She does not live in St. Louis. So, why don't all of you quit trying to be macho men, and just shut up.

I know who lives on my street in Cape Girardeau, so calm down. If the rest of your assertions are as inaccurate as that one, maybe you should be totally ignored. Have a better day today,hellanddamnation.
