International Nanny State Fascists Target Alcohol
When the crusade against smokers has run its course, who will be next in the crosshairs? One likely target: people who drink.
The insidious U.N.'s World Health Organization is launching a "war on alcohol." Since for now the world is still made up of independent nations, these will be presented with a "menu" of measures they can implement to combat Demon Rum. As for every other crisis moonbats manufacture, these measures boil down to higher taxes and more government regulation.
Already Democrats in California want to raise the tax on beer by 1,500%. Now might be a good time to see if your great grandparents saved their recipe for bathtub gin.

On a tip from Ian from the EUSSR.

The Russians will have a real problem with this one since, as General Jack D. Ripper said it best:
"General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
General Jack D. Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have.
General Jack D. Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
General Jack D. Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason."

Well if the Nanny Staters don't get Ripper's vodka, the ethanol idiots will use it all for gas. Then it's nothing but pure rain water - until that becomes a dangerous toxin that needs to be regulated and taxed too.

They are just preparing for worldwide shari'a, I suppose.

If they try to take away my alcohol, it's on. Oh yes. It's so on.

I wouldn't worry. Putin will make the nukes fly over vodka. W will make the nukes fly over Bud.

This is an attempt to make Islamic mores normative throughout the world.

"The insidious U.N.'s World Health Organization is launching a "war on alcohol.""
How about these fuck-faces launch a War on radical Islamn.
I can sit around and drink a bottle of scotch, and I am not inspired to run down to the local bazaar and blow up women, children, and innocent people just trying to get along.
If you were to take a vote in this country, I think a majority would vote to expel, deport, don't-kiss-them-goodbye, buy-them-a-ticket-to-leave, supply them a goat meat sandwich box lunch, kiss them as they board the plane, don't wave bye-bye, and don't-ever-let-them-come-back to this country.
These folks only want to use the UN to subsidize their Marxists regimes, with money confiscated by the UN to finance their barbaric lifestyles.
Being poor, and not fighting for your Freedom and Liberty, expecting the taxes on a bottle of hooch from a rich and prosperous in a country to buy you a better life is a teenage Disney movie.
Virtue is found in a human spirit; courageous and personal ideals, not at the bottom of a high-ball glass.

WTF? Do these douchebags want to bring the Mafia back into power? Christ on a crutch, I'd almost laugh if it weren't so damned scary. Those pig-fuckers can have my beer when they pry it from my cold dead hands!

The rich Obamite from MD who came to my door the other day also told me America sucks because we have 42 million people with no health insurance.
I pointed out that his numbers were wrong because they include 12 million illegal aliens and other non-citizens. The UN doesn't seem to recognize the difference between citizens and gate crashers.
He said "No, they're accurate. They're from the World Health Organization!"
I think that's when my neck actually turned red, and I said "I don't trust World organizations."
Then I went back inside to polish my guns and thump my Bible...or at least that's what he probably thought.

Because this worked soooo well in the past...

I think the World Health Organization is leftest as it gets. Seems like I saw some research on it not too long ago.
I think those numbers also include those who have refused health care plans at their work because they don't want to pay their part of it... they want the taxpayers to pay it for them.
