Comments on: Bush OKs Tough Product Safety Rules

Following Panel Recommendations, President Proposes Recall Authority For The FDA

[kjvprophet]

What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a NEW WAY. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They''ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration? These are the ideas of Republican Presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul. He''s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He''s an intellectual who''s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church. Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was "totally unnecessary and illegal," he laments, "They were gung-ho. I''ve often thought about how many of those people never came back." Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherance to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky.

With the full support of Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain, President Bush recently signed into Law the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007, which, according to Senator Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually "encourage the President to declare Martial Law." It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of Laws that limits the President''s ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic Law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions. Public Law 109-364, or the John Warner Defense Authorization Act (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the President in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency," suspend Congress and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of your Governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder." President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act. In a sense, the two Laws compliment one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad of those who dissent and are stripped of their citizenship, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home, preparing to order the military onto the streets of America.

KJVProphet said, "Ron Paul does not represent your Father''s school of political thought. He represents your Founding Fathers."
---
Nice try, but not true. The Founders were largely Deists, who believed, for example, that a perfect God needs no prayer from us to guide His perfect will. Deists, therefore, do not endorse prayerful intercession, either.

The Constitution, itself, makes little mention of God, except to prevent establishment of religion. This was understandable, following England''s experience with religious civil war about 150 years before.

Paul is "not my father''s school of political thought"? Certainly not-- my father had the intelligence to see through blarney when he heard it. Paul is Ayn Rand''s meager take on civilization, which is to say, a spoonful.

Kucinich works to Impeach Cheney---

WASHINGTON - House Democrats on Tuesday narrowly managed to avert a bruising debate on a proposal to impeach *** Cheney after Republicans, in a surprise maneuver, voted in favor of taking up the measure.

Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on the resolution sponsored by longshot presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.

Now going to the House Judiciary Committee.

We can only hope!!

Bring it on!!!

It is a smart consumer that has no faith in any FDA decision. Every decision they make, makes millions of dollars. The vioxx disaster is a classic example of their decision making process.

However, he said, "We need to do more to ensure that American families have confidence in what they find on our store shelves. They have the right to expect the food they eat, the medicines they take or the toys they buy for their children to be safe."
******************************************
Yeah, especially now, a year before an election and all those Republicans that cling to your coat tails need to get re-elected. Now you want to look like a good guy, the is concerned about our kids, and safety of our products. LOL Too late, bub.

[johnny_chaos]

bush has to be very careful dealing with china, since they hold around 30% ($1.33 trillion) of our foreign reserves and an additional 900 billion in US bonds. so, the guy who didnt want to raise taxes to pay for the war sold us out to china. yea bush, yea, republicans, yea... nothing left to say, except shut up about liberals, cause your logic sucks.

Please go to amazon.com and type in THE GAME by Jerry Webber and purchase the book entitled THE GAME, by Jerry Webber. It is a must read book for the entire family and will make for an excellent Christmas gift and the proceeds will go to help a homeless. Thank you very much.

as far as made in America, almost all of it is ***. The cars are pretty awful. Its like driving a velvet painting. Cadillac%u2019s, bunch of crunk and tin. Most of the American cars look like kids toys, all plastic and chrome. Hummers are a joke. Sure good in a war zone, but the ones for civilian use are just big cheaply made toys. The clothes are all ugly, the food is tasteless, the fruit and produce is unripe and flavorless. I prefer the European model, make the seller prove a products safety. funny how you don%u2019t hear about the EU having most of these kind of product issues. wonder if its maybe the result of corporate greed and complacency from both republican and democratic politicians who really don%u2019t care about anything except the welfare check they get from the taxpayer. Oh, and try and find a flag made in the USA. Most of the flags I%u2019ve seen recently are made in china, but that%u2019s only casual browsing at Wal-mart. God, I love that store. American values on display%u2026

[candide777]

Wow, I guess this is part of Bush''s anti-Chinese prodcuts campaign.

Pssst, today I learned that Ron Paul supporters are all just a bunch of pro-lifers trying to find a palatable candidate they can push through.

[johnny_chaos]

One_American what the hell are you trying to say? all i can see is your advancing the appearance that conservatives are dumb as dirt and unable to take part in meaningful discourse. must be why your always starting wars you end up losing. Korea, Vietnam, its looking bad for Iraq and Afghanistan, and well Iran will be a great big nut in the mouths of the right for sure. personally i think your just a closet case looking up to a strong man that you can spank your monkey too and enjoy the sinful thrill of it all. Or maybe it%u2019s the body fat that swaddles your frame and the Ed that you%u2019ve had since your mid-twenties, or that your wife looks like a linebacker. I don%u2019t know, but I do see a lot of similarities in the pro-bushers I know. Most are overweight, lack curiosity, have overly inflated yet extremely fragile egos and ugly wives.

This may cover imports, but what about goods assembled or made in the US? How would this have changed things over the summer, when that greedy Canadian pet food company imported poisonous elements from China that were added to ingredients at a US plant? Unless this covers all things SOLD in the US -- not just "imports" of completed goods -- the law will be useless and just another B.S. effort from the moron-in-chief.

[edward1975-2009]

Stop recieving goods from China till they Straighten their act up. Or let them sit on the docks while we decide what to do and then reject them. No problem.

[rickstas]

This is totally in keeping with the the Bush Administration policy of incompetency and corruption. Doesn''t surprise me in the least.

[liberalme]

crater--I find where they come from!

[walt1944-2009]

For the first time in living memory, The Great Emperor Bush II has ACTUALLY TAKEN THE ADVICE of a panel of advisers calling for tougher standards and recall authority for the CPSC and FDA. Such an action is unprecedented within the court of the Emperor who had formerly dismissed the findings of ANY advisery panel as "irrelevant", saying instead that HE knows more than they do!

However, it should be noted that simply because the Emperor decides that stricter measures are needed to protect the consumers of the USSA, does not mean that such measures will be implemented. If any are, there is a good chance that enforcement of those stricter measures will be as tough as the inspection of containers are from abroad!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

Ron Paul represents a different Republican Party from the one that Iraq, deficits and corruption have soured the country on. It''s ironic that other GOP candidates are scared to death of his message, BECAUSE his is more conservative than theirs. Being anti-war IS CONSERVATIVE. Another key difference between his message and the others is that he is a strong defender of The Constitution, which protects our civil liberties. The other Presidential candidates, who are mostly NWO Oligarchs, want to erase your liberties. They''ve tried hard to exlude Paul from the spotlight, along with the sold-out, mainstream media. In late June, despite a life of antitax agitation and pious churchgoing, he was excluded from a Republican forum sponsored by Iowa anti-tax and Christian groups. Ron Paul does not represent your Father''s school of political thought. He represents your Founding Fathers. He stands for a certain idea of The Constitution; the idea that much of the power asserted by modern presidents has been usurped from Congress, and that much of the power asserted by Congress has been usurped from the States. Though Dr. Paul acknowledges flaws in both The Constitution (it included slavery) and its Bill of Rights (it doesn''t go far enough), he still thinks a comprehensive array of positions can be drawn therefrom: against gun control; for the sovereignty of States; and against foreign-policy adventures. His message draws on the noblest traditions of American decency and patriotism.
