Wonderful. Saving us from calories but exposing us to murderous Muslims. we need regime change in Washington, big time.

I have always questioned why the alcohol companies were exempt from nutritional labels. I of course know it is because not even the US Congress wants to get the alcohol lobby mad at them.

Beer is a Yuge source of CO2.

This is why big corporations prefer big government. Regulations hurt the little guy and stiffle competition.

This was never about “health care,” it was about control, never ending control of every aspect of our lives by the statist bastard liberals in D.C. We need another American revolution, ASAP.

Watch Obama’s War on Beer

Does anyone doubt that the “majors” were behind this push for regulation? “Crony capitalism” at its finest.

[Norm Lenhart]

A small but significant win for lesser evil voting.

See, there is no downside to electing liberal republicans at all. They funded it what, 5 times already?

Government is just a word for the things we do together.

Barak Whosane? Obama will awaken a sleeping hungover giant with this decree.

This will NOT go down well.

[Iron Munro]

Why would they ever want to manipulate a thriving industry?

Apparently someone in the Obama administration discovered the following:

Entrepreneurial capitalists created businesses that are making a profit.

The businesses are actually creating jobs.

The products have not been approved by Michelle Obama.

The customers are actually enjoying themselves without government input, controls or permission.

If states had more power like they should we have all these regulations, or Obamacare or refugees waiting to blow us to kingdom come. Support the Convention of States.

This here might get him impeached!

A Boston Beer Party?

In a time when we all could use a cold beer, 0bama is going to take that away from us too.

[Organic Panic]

Just ignore it.

I wonder which major brewer lobby group pushed this.

[Rebelbase]

Obama threatening a cornerstone of hipster culture. Sweet irony (Perhaps that should be a microbrew name?).

Also takes aim at farmers who grow hops, a labor-intensive crop. I was reading an article about them a few days ago in Farm Journal or some farm publication. They are grown on strings suspended from a wire suspended between two poles. They have to be trained to wind clockwise around the strings. Weeds have to be controlled by hand; some farmers hire workers with hoes ;-).

The author of the article said he learned the hard way the first year. He wound the vines counter-clockwise. They unwound themselves and were lying on the ground.

They are harvested mechanically.

The reason this sprang up as a specialty crop is because of the demand by craft brewers.

Whomever the MORON is that thought up this little nugget of absolute nonsense should be forbidden to hold any future job that affects the public in general. This society has gone MAD.
