Alan: The depth of epistemological depravity characteristic of modern American conservatives is unfathomable. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/02/harris-poll-wingnuts-and-president-obama.html
It is as if "the bottom fell out of The Universe" and the mendacious filth that overflows the contemporary "conservative" mind is abundant enough to fill the resulting Void.

The Founding Fathers were keenly aware that democracy depended - for its existence - on a well-informed citizenry.
In 1819, Thomas Jefferson penned a letter to John Adams: "In all cases, (the people must) follow truth as the only safe guide and eschew error which bewilders us in one false consequence after another in endless succession." http://fredsitelive.com/politics/jefferson/1820.html
Whenever political advantage seems possible through frank falsehood, contemporary "conservatives" immediately fabricate whole-cloth lies.
Representing lies as truth is "what they do." It is their consuming passion.
Through this ceaseless corrosion of the soul -- so assiduoulsy engaged and for such a long time that they no longer remember they are lying - these "conservatives" place the Republic in mortal peril.
"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating." Denis de Rougemont - http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/09/denis-de-rougemont-there-are-two-ways.html
That American conservatives find no fault with deliberate falsification is a measure of our extremity.
They are committed allies of The Prince of Darkness whose first impulse is to falsify.
Here's how Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan, put it: “The Republican philosophy might be summarized thus: To hell with principle; what matters is power, and that we have it, and that they do not.” “Where the Right Went Wrong” http://www.amazon.com/Where-Right-Went-Wrong-Neoconservatives/dp/B007MXXR2G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381095943&sr=8-1&keywords=where+the+right+went+wrong
Mr. Buchanan is the living American who has spent most time inside The White House serving as senior advisor.)

Both the Real Canadian Superstore and Loblaws in the Kanata area have a dedicated, ten foot cooler section in their meat departments devoted to Halal meat that is promoted under a green-coloured Halal banner; and it doesn’t offer the shopper any insight into what Halalmeans or where it comes from.
Read on……and pass it on. While you’re at it – check out the origin of frozen fish and shrimp packaged under the Sea Breeze and some other attractive labels at your local grocery.
THIS IS COMING AND LOOK OUT FOR THIS INTRUSION IN U.S. and CANADIAN MARKETS… “Halal” meat… are you aware of this? Take a look and forward to your friends and family. Do Not buy this meat!
“Costco stocking their meat counters with “Halal” meat.”
I shopped for groceries at my local Wal-Mart. As usual, I bought a bag of frozen chicken breasts, but this time I checked to make sure the meat was not labeled “Halal.” Here’s why: Halal is the Islamic term that basically means the meat is lawful to eat for a devout Muslim. What makes it lawful or acceptable is that the meat has been processed in a very specific way. Unlike kosher food, where the physical processing of the meat is the focus, for Islam it is the spiritual component that makes the meat lawful.
For lawful (halal) meat in Islam, the animal must be killed while the butcher faces Mecca, and either the butcher cries “Allah Akbar” or a tape plays the words over a loud speaker.
Ann Barnhardt is a cattle commodities broker, has more about “Halal.”
NEVER buy meat that is marked as “Halal.”
I am in the cattle business, and believe me when I tell you that Halal kill plants are CONSTANTLY being cited and shut down by the USDA for horrific infractions. Most of these plants are in Michigan and upstate New York.
Alan: An informative document from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that "Contrary to the overall declining trend in the United States’ lamb, mutton, and goat consumption, there is a growing, high-value market to be found among the American Muslim population. Entrance into this particular market, as well as Muslim markets overseas, requires Halal certification. Halal is an Islamic religious term used to describe food that is “lawful” to eat."

One of the things that halal kill plants are notorious for is putting already-dead animals in the human consumption line. They will go pick up a dead cow off of a farm or ranch and instead of putting it in their rendering tank where the resulting “tankage” is worth pennies on the dollar as pet food or industrial products, they will shackle the dead animal on the normal kill line and process it as human food which is the highest-dollar product.
Since Islam teaches dishonesty (taqiyyah) and no regard for one’s neighbor, this kind of sickening behavior is standard.
Halal plants are also notorious for general citations for filth and uncleanliness. I have toured normal cattle slaughter plants, and guys, you could eat off of the floor. Everything is white and men walk around with water hoses and steam guns constantly keeping everything in a state of spotlessness.
Halal plants are filthy. A lot of Halal meat is also labeled as “organic.”
Again, don’t be fooled into thinking that “halal” means “better.” It isn’t. I would never, ever knowingly eat halal meat purely from a food safety perspective.
THIS IS COMING AND LOOK OUT FOR THIS INTRUSION IN U.S. and CANADIAN MARKETS… “Halal” meat… are you aware of this? Take a look and forward to your friends and family. Do Not buy this meat!
