A few tiny things to consider...

Not a lot I can add to the compare and contrast chart on this one other than the fact...yes liberals, it's a fact look em up...that EVERY one of Obama's stimulus funded fly by night green energy operations took taxpayer money and donated it right back into Obama's coffers before declaring bankruptcy...and in the case of Solyndra's leadership, taking the 5th when asked by congress where all the money went.

So, as I see it, Obama's campaign is partially funded by stolen tax dollars which is neither a coincidence nor, an accident.
It's the Chicago way!

I'm no fan of Romney but, I can give credit where it's due because the guy does seem to know something about economics and how a free market economy works...while the current Bozo stands clueless with his belief that government mandates, taxes and, regulations grow businesses and jobs.
His pro-Soviet upbringing shining through!

What Obama never seemed to grasp is that his soviet commerade's command economy produced little more than a working class that did very little work, produced almost nothing of quality and, had anyone who could afford to escape it, escaping.

Now that America has the highest corporate tax rate on the planet, regulations created willy-nilly from the oval office or, his socialist minions planted elsewhere within the administration which has created a climate of fear and uncertainty for American businesses...
They wonder why jobs aren't popping up like weeds.
They're completely dumbfounded as to why businesses would be exercising caution...while the administration has been working overtime to box them all in.

Then they play the patriot card...which for liberals is a laughable attempt at very bad acting...and criticize companies that have fled to other countries in order to avoid being taxed into non-existence or, regulated into just having enough money to buy plywood for the windows.
Yeah, any businessman who wants to feed his family and prosper is just greedy and unpatriotic for seeking a better deal elsewhere as opposed to just shutting down and ceasing to exist at all.

What is unpatriotic is a president and, administration that sees it's taxpayer as cattle who are living just to produce funding for leftist government pet programs and social engineering schemes.

Of course, a business that wants to grow and produce goods that people want will always be seen as "greedy" by leftists...while their welfare leaching base that is always demanding more while offering nothing in exchange aren't "greedy"...they're "needy"!

...Just Blame bush...

Hard to argue with the truth in this one...

Ohio's newest Katahdin sheep producer...

I am now the newest producer of Katahdin sheep in NW Ohio!

Starting with a flock of 5 ewes and a ram and, a viable business plan in place that I project will within the next year cover the initial cost of the flock, feed and fencing with a return on fresh grass-fed lambs for sale to my local resturants and, local Arab population that currently travels 60+ miles to buy lambs in Dearborn.

The hook is that they can view the lambs they buy from me from pasture to plate and, examine the conditions they're raised in and, what grasses and supplemental feeds are going into them.

Right now, it's not uncommon to see Arabs buying lambs at auction in Michigan, duct-taping their feet and tossing them into the trunk of a car and driving off.

I'll be offering lamb and mutton on the hoof or, pre-butchered from a facility that is open to examination also here in my area and, cut to order.
It's a win-win for everybody.

I haven't bought chicken or, eggs in the last 3 years.
After September and my hogs are butchered, I'll never have to buy factory produced pork again.
After September of 2013, I'll also be butchering this year's stears.
My garden has already produced so many tomatoes, apples, onions, pears and asparagus that I'm feeding the leftovers to the hogs and chickens.
I have so many rabbits that are ready to butcher that I'll be flush with stew all winter long.

...And this is just my first year farming!

The opposite of "progressive" is progress

3 calves, 3 hogs, 30 rabbits, 47 chickens, 6 sheep, 8 geese and, so many tomatoes and eggs that we supplement the hog's feed with leftovers and blemished stuff from the garden...which includes apples and pears by the wheelbarrow full. I picked up an old 1948 Ford 8N tractor for under 2 grand that has been rebuilt and repainted and, looks like it just came off a showroom floor. With the sale of my house in Toledo, this place will have 60% knocked off the principle of my loan and result in my farm being paid for in ten years instead of twenty. With the sale of my wife's home in P-burg, the proceeds will be going toward a 1 acre pond stocked with bass, bluegill and crapie. Since my stepmother is an Arab, my income is now padded with the network of Arabs from Toledo who used to drive all the way to Dearborn to be fleeced for lamb meat at inflated prices. Now, they can drive 15 minutes as opposed to an hour + and, be able to choose their lamb where it stands, see the conditions it's been raised in and, do what Arabs do best...haggle the price in person. My goal to retire from my regular job by age 55 with a viable income and, 401k padding is now more realistic than ever since working the farm is almost generating enough income to eat for free and, my day job is making the house note and, the utilities with enough left over to sock away for misc stuff that pops up or, catches my fancy. I have to openly admit that without my wife and kids jumping in and sharing a stake in all this, it would have failed from day one. I work 50+ hours a week on a night shift with a 55 minute drive to work and back...and mucking the pens, feeding the critters, caring for the garden, mowing the lawn and all the other stuff would be a bitch without a dedicated bunch standing behind me and pushing me when I need to be. It isn't easy getting off work at 6 am, driving for an hour and, taking care of a farm for a few hours, then, sleeping until 3 pm, out the door by 4 and, rinse and repeat without the support of my wife and kids helping with the legwork. In other news, my neighbors that each live a half mile away, are damned fine people of a caliber that don't exist within city limits. I'm storing my neighbor's fleet of gravity wagons in one of my barns...he offered to pay rent but, instead of cash, he's now my "go to guy" for farming questions since he's 81 years old and has more passable knowledge than I'd ever get for mere money...and, my youngest son will be learning how to operate his harvester in the fall. Besides that, my neighbor is also our first egg cusomer...who has also advertised to our other neighbors where to get eggs from free-ranged chickens at half the cost of buying organic eggs from a store. Indeed, I am fortunate that things are working well for me...and NOTHING the government has done has been able to wreck it.
