No high powered over priced brew to be sold in Georgia, lawmakers say....
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/21758162/detail.htmlThe righteous say that's the devil's brew (kin to the devil's weed), that 20% and above beer is just drug abuse disguised (some of 'em's highway robbery they say too, at over $100 a bottle) and that "moderate" states like jawger, er, Georgia (it's on that there seal) have a moral obligation to stop this evil at the state line. Many lawmakers expressed these and other "blue law" concerns when approached by the Underground to comment on the lack of updating the law to allow for the new high-alcohol brewskis to be sold in the state.
Kinda reminds me of the time lawmakers in Georgia were approached and asked why they didn't support Sunday packaged sales of alcohol. One in particular (who is still lawmakin' and bringin home the bucks) stood out when he got angry when somebody said having no sales on Sunday based on Christian beliefs is discrimination because this person was Jewish and the State allowed sales on their Sabbath, which is a different day from the Christian Sabbath, and that actually having laws based on religion was against the US Constitution. After much ranting and raving about morals, this lawmaker actually said Jesus would support the Georgia law, including the Sabbath references, and By God Jesus would never be against the US Constitution.
In the same incident the same lawmaker got really riled when another individual said if they were so righteous about alcohol, why didn't the State fix it's laws that prohibit hemp growing and usage, which is a plant created by God. The lawmaker actually said (real quote) - "Marijuana is dope, and God, the father of Jesus, would never create dope."
So let's see, that means..........who created that now? Oh right, that 'ol devil.
So we have a place where they disallow alcohol sales based on a religious belief, which just happens to be unconstitutional (the law in the United States literally cannot be based on religion), but something that is allowed in their "religion", use of all God's seed bearing plants in their natural forms (it's in that there book they're always hollerin' 'bout even), is against their laws?
Honestly, that is a royal bunch of horseshit. Grow up Georgia.. You're not moderate or moral, just another layer of fiefdom trying to control people's lives.
Have a drink (but don't on Sunday, you might get in trouble with the Chief), but no stronger a drink than maybe 18% alkeehawl, or you's might lose yer morals and inhibitions, and think about it.
Dang 'ol boys might have something there.
Praise the lord and git me a nother beer hon.......
