Richard Burr – food nazi
It seems that a week can’t pass without another power grap from the statists in washington.
Now here comes s. 510,the so-called “food safety modernization act”.
This bureaucratic “bi-partisan” monstrosity empowers an expanded FDA, (almost 4000 new bureaucrats in 2010 alone and an 1 billion increased fda budget),to further drive up the cost of food and to limit choices from the free market.
This new law will place further burdens on independent family farms while big corporatist agriculture will use their connections to largely escape scrutiny. It is a direct assault on the free market, punishing local providers who are working to provide diversity and expanded consumer choice. Just a bit of language from the bill to illustrate: the term “credible evidence” will be replaced in the code with “reasonable probability” giving the FDA the power to invade, quarantine, or shut down private property to search and protect. I’m sure that’ll go well. Even now armed federal agents are conducting pre-dawn raids on those dastardly amish farmers out to poison the public with there natural milk.

It gets worse as this bill grants authority for federal agencies to impose international guidelines and standards on domestic food producers. I’m not optimistic that globalist regulators and their standards are better than our own local farmers.
Of course it should come as no surprise to those paying attention that Richard Burr was instrumental in providing that “bi-partisan” coordination for this type of corporatist-statist scam. He has been commited to the globalist consolidation agenda from the get go. With senators like Burr and Kay Hagan, N.C. residents will continue to suffer loss of liberty to the elitists and their power seeking interests. I would hope folks won’t “stomach” much more of their “service”.
