Listening
to conservative Republicans would make a
great comedy act at the Adelaide Fringe Festival this week. Here’s a sampling
of what they have said this past week:
GOP
Chairman Darrell Issa
defending the exclusion of a woman from his all-male panel on contraception:
She’s not “appropriate and qualified.” [Read more]
Fox News’
Greg Gutfeld
explaining why “liberals” support contraception coverage: “It’s more about
getting rid of the poor.” [Read more]
Right-wing
billionaire Foster Friess delivering his contraception advice on MSNBC: “You know, back in my days,
they used Bayer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees
and it wasn’t that costly.” [Read more]
Virginia
Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert rationalizing a state-sponsored bill mandating
vaginal probes: A woman already consented to being “vaginally penetrated when
they got pregnant.” [Read more]
Fox News’
Liz Trotta
justifies why some women are assaulted in the military: “Now what did they
expect?” [Read more]
Bryan
Fischer of the American Family Association on women in combat: “Women are not wired, either
by evolution or by God…to be in those positions.” [Read more]
Rick
Santorum
explaining his concerns about women in combat: “People naturally may do things
that may not be in the interests of the mission because of other types of
emotions that are involved.” [Read more]
At least
they’re being honest about what they feel.
The following was sent to me in an email. I have edited some of the overt nationalist rhetoric from it. The facts peak for themselves. Thanks Brian.
Learning
from BARCODES
Current Affair reported on frozen vegetables imported from New
Zealand.
As it
turns out if it is a Coles or Woollies home brand there is a more than good
chance that the product has come from China.
Products
made by McCain’s, Birdseye and other supposed reputable companies from New
Zealand are now purchasing vegie products from China and selling that product
under their name.
Basically
check where it is produced by the comments on the back of the pack and if it
says produced from New Zealand and Imported product it has Chinese vegies in
it.
If it has product of New Zealand, it is possible those vegies in that pack come from elsewhere.
I suppose
to play it safe unless it has been grown and packed in Australia stay away from
it unless you don’t mind digesting poisons.

The Australian barcode prefix is 93
PLEASE NOTE - if you love Australian produce and the thought of
keeping jobs here, AND you like to eat healthy foods and buy quality
products, then please read on. DANGEROUS IMPORTED FOODS
There
are no food inspection regulations of foods grown or processed in China ,
Vietnam , Hong Kong or Thailand .
For
your Information ... the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code
where-in the product was made.
Example: all barcodes that start
with 690; 691 through to 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
4 71 is Made in Taiwan .
Nowadays,
Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products 'made in
china', so they don't show from which country it is made. However, you
may now refer to the barcode.
00 ~ 13
USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE

740 ~ 745 - Central America
All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines..
WATCH WHAT YOU BUY. ESPECIALLY 'HIGHLINER' FISH PRODUCTS; all come from China
, even though the box says 'product of Canada ', it is from China and 'processed'
in Canada , that is, only the coating is added and packaged in
Canada. The fish are raised in pens using chemicals that are banned in
Canada as cancer causing but legal in China .
