“Going to email Liberty Counsel,”

Great idea! We donate bigly to them, and they’re amazingly effective. They’re non-profit, too.

The Fed mentality is “control it or destroy it”, but then that’s pretty much the same at all levels of government.

😀🤗🤪

It’s about the deep state upholding the “rules”...
They are not violating any laws.
They are going against the rules.

Government agencies can’t pass laws.
They create rules.
If the rules are challenged, the agency, and this the deep state, loses their power.
The only way around this is to have congress do their damn jobs and pass legislation.

Every rule written by every agency needs to be eliminated, and the responsibility sent back to congress

It’s a shame some here are scared to use the word Negro, yet attack those not able to defend themselves.
Not funny.

“why would the feds care? why would they attempt to penetrate a private club?”

To make a very specific point.

This is a war which has been going on since Noxious Nixon began it

The government has been screwing up agricultural policy at least since WWI under Wilson.

Amos is running a business and needs to meet the same standards as everyone else.

Nonsense. He is supplying a private club of members who want what he is selling. "Everyone else" is too broad a term. The feds should start worrying about the possible contamination in gay bathhouses, greasy bar'n'grills, roaming ice cream trucks, curbside food vendors and junk-food manufacturers before they hit an Amish farm.

He’s preparing food the way God intended.

They recently sent armed federal agents to the farm and demanded he cease operations.

The feds doing a 2 4 1 act farming and God?.

Some club. The membership requirements are being able to get on his web site and cough up $35.

The first law the Nazis passed after gaining power was banning Jewish Kosher slaughter of animals.

This is an attack on Amish religious freedom

This is an attack on all of us.

How dare we ask for high quality, nutritious natural food. We are to be permitted only Genetically modified, Roundup Ready, packaged, processed and profitable food-like slow poisons.

You will eat what's put in front of you and like it. Peasant.

Really the Amish this time?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Government apparatchiks dislike groups such as the Amish who choose to live off the grid, because they’re not controllable by the bureaucracy. The EPA was established to kill off (figuratively) all such groups of people, especially those who are religion based.

One of the biggest threats to the USDA and FDA is healthy Amish families.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
BINGO! Such independent groups of people MUST be put in chains by government bureaucracies.

Policy yes but Nixon got the ball rolling on many fronts not previously attacked by deliberate targeting and propaganda.

Hi....I’m from the government and I’m here to help........myself.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In my neck of the woods there was a thriving cattle farm and meat packing operation that was very popular and appreciated by the citizenry for miles around. The FDA sent an uneducated idiot there to hassle them out of business and that’s exactly what happened. CLOSED BY GOVERNMENT EDICT! Always remain aware that often the Government does NOT show up on the doorstep “to help” you!
