The Obama administration has developed a keen interest in the Amish folks of Lancaster County, Pa., due to their lifestyle and not their carbon footprint. The cattle on their dairy farms produce milk and manure.
It is claimed that great piles of manure are the source of pollutants from Lancaster County to the Chesapeake Bay due to run-off from heavy rains. Lancaster County is far from the Chesapeake Bay.
Agents have been dispatched to “educate” the Amish in methods the Obama administration requires for lifestyle changes. They use no electricity and few automobiles, so how dare they live without government assistance?
There is no information given on how the administration determined their manure was the particular pollutant.
How was that particular pollutant identified after being mixed with waters of the Potomac, which also carries runoff from Washington, D.C.?
Is this an attempt to blame the Amish for the pollution caused by all the “BS” in Washington, D.C., or is this just the result of the president’s search for an ass to kick?
