"one of the least prone to BS speaking people to be hold the office of Senator"

Sounds like something coming out of Biden's mouth.

Yes I remember a farmer from Kentucky who would sell what he grew out of his old pick-up truck the women on the block would look out for the "Farm Boy" he had the freshest produce,apples.Doubt if they could really do that now with all the laws and regulations today....

FWIW - I buy fresh eggs from a local farmer and lots of produce in season. I try to avoid HFCS because it turns to fat not energy. IMHO, except of smelting iron, I think coal should be left in the ground and our electrical energy generated by nuclear fission in a self perpetuating system.

Zimmerman is the name of the DEFENDANT, when did Obama ever mention him by name?

FYI, if the media was looking for a comment about the Cleveland Bomb Plot where are the requests? How many pressers and gaggles have gone by and where's the questions?

Not all coal is useable as coke.

This nuclear process sounds interesting

That was a rather elitist comment. Most working class people don't have unlimited options. Because a plant is spewing garbage into the air, we're all supposed to pick up, leave our homes behind and move off to a cleaner environment? Sure

FYI, terror is another name for fear. If you're going to base everything you do in life on what some Saudi's did 11 years ago... That is why we pay our taxes, so the government and our military can handle the threats.
First, there is clean coal, leftists just like to pretend that there isn't because if they can get rid of coal they can make more money. They do anything that benefits them.

Second, that's not elitist it's common sense. If your parents didn't like breathing that stuff in they shouldn't have moved there. My whole family, immediate and extended, are all part of the working class. We take what we can get and don't complain about it. That's what the working class does.

Last but not least, go back and read the paragraph again. I specifically said that we shouldn't live our lives in fear, we should live our lives ready to kick ass. This is not just about 9/11, do you honestly think that there has been no acts of terror since then? How naive. I, unlike you, have zero faith in this government. ZERO! I wouldn't trust these people with anything. They are limiting the military. How is that in our best interest? BTW it's not just the Middle East that we need to worry about.

not accurate.

i'd prefer to take my chances with corn syrup and coal-fired power plants over terrorists, thank you.

Everyone I know has eaten genetically modified corn products, no one I know has been a victim of terrorism.

Let's be honest, most right wing nutjobs considers our President a bigger threat than terrorism.

None that I've seen. Wonder why that is? That story just went away.........poof..........by the MSM............just like every other "story" that involves something the orator doesn't want folks to see. Maybe open your eyes and look around and see what is really going on instead of swooning away all the time?

But hundreds of thousands of people die and their lives are shortened because of coal plants, coal-fired plants and because of corn syrup.”

I think the greatest threat this country is facing is bumbling idiot communists sitting in DC.
So, three pages in and you still haven't proved your assertion that Biden's statement is incorrect. How are we more at risk from terrorism than from the health risks associated with poor diet and environmental pollutants? If the goal is to reduce deaths than why not be proactive about reducing the number of deaths caused by things we can actually control?
