Obama and his overreaching Executive Order - Taking our rural countryside!

[FCTP]

On June 9, 2011, an Executive Order established the White House Rural Council with 25 executive branch departments including Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, National Drug Control, Environmental Quality, Labor, Commerce, Interior, EPA, Housing, Health, Education to name just a few.

 

The order covers 16% of the American population who lives in rural counties because they “supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation.”

 

“Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential in winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead.” What kind of future are we supposed to win? Are we losers right now? This is very vague, what years ahead?

Can someone tell me if it is true that David Koch held a fundraiser for Romney? I read it on a blog and didn't want to believe it. Is the conservative side of the party, Americans for Prosperity already selling out to the establishment picks like Romney. What about Bachmann?

But what really got my goat, was today I read Crenshaw is supporting Romney. Now considering he is supporting a flip-flopper like Mitt, he can change his mind later. Romney and Huntsman have already opted out of Iowa because of the conservative nature of the vote there. Well they better get used to it pretty quick, because it is going to take conservative values to win. And Huntsman, is he the new Manchurian candidate? Two years being indoctrinated in China.

I read it differently Billie. Rural America is fast becoming a wasteland. Meth, unemployment, communities drying up all over the map. As family farms become part of our history whole sections of the country are simply going away. Now this may not be the government's problem, I am not sure that is, but it is a problem nonetheless. And there is no doubt that rural communities are falling behind and because of that the young people are leaving in droves. Opportunity that once existed is gone. Who does it, I do not know, but someone should make an emphasis of this issue. Our rural communities used to serve as vast tracts of producitivity, that is forever gone. Sad.
