    Ted Cruz: Don’t let ‘anti-science zealotry’ shutdown GMOs

    By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Saturday, March 7, 2015

    Sen. Ted Cruz said Saturday that the nation should push back against the “hysteria” over food made with genetically modified organisms, saying these innovations in science should be celebrated for the positive impact they’ve had both at home and abroad.

    Speaking the Iowa Agricultural Summit, Mr. Cruz said he is sick of politicians “blowing smoke” in Washington and vowed that Iowans have no bigger ally then him when it comes to pushing back against the federal government.

    Mr. Cruz said GMOs helped to provide food for people across the globe and strengthen farms across the nation. He said that people who oppose GMOs and want to buy organic food can do that.

    Smart move on Cruz's part. He's preempting the use of the anti-science zealot smear against creationists and people who don't use the "save the planet" line to call for more regulations.

    So he's going after the angelaTC vote?
    9/11 Thermate experiments

    Winston Churchhill on why the U.S. should have stayed OUT of World War I

    "I am so %^&*^ sick of this cult of Ron Paul. The Paulites. What is with these %^&*^ people? Why are there so many of them?" YouTube rant by "TheAmazingAtheist"

    "We as a country have lost faith and confidence in freedom." -- Ron Paul

    "It can be a challenge to follow the pronouncements of President Trump, as he often seems to change his position on any number of items from week to week, or from day to day, or even from minute to minute." -- Ron Paul

    Heh. Ted is in for a ruuuuude awakening. The issue is geo-political. Ted is out of his league. His thought on it clearly indicates a lack of understanding of the larger issue.

    Aside - Monsanto in US Foreign Policy

    Ah well. I can't take this cat seriously, folks, so, then, that is likely all that I'll share with regard to my thought on it.

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
