Your Right to Eat Beets Could Be Under Attack

There’s a lot of chatter lately in the news about the run on guns since Obama was elected.

But maybe Obama represents an entirely different threat! A threat to your beets! Apparently, he can’t stand them.

So I've decided to start my own unfounded internet rumor.

Maybe there is a crazy dystopian future ahead of us, but rather than Second Amendment rights being stripped, or wealth being redistributed, the real terror will come when they come to burn down your beet fields!

Oh wait.  Can you burn down a crop of root vegetables? Hmm. Maybe he has a team already working on the logistics.

(Of course, as a card-carrying beet-disliker, this is all fine by me. If the fundamental beet-related fabric of our nation is torn asunder, I, for one, would welcome it.)
