Moore uncovers cow conspiracy

Judge Roy Moore suspects that the government's prying eyes could be coming to a barnyard near you.

According to the Birmingham News:

MONTGOMERY - Republican gubernatorial candidate Roy Moore said Friday it was a "strange coincidence" that mad cow disease was found in Alabama just as government officials want to start an animal-identification system.

Moore is opposed to a national tracking system that would give identification numbers to farm animals and to a bill pending in the Alabama Legislature that would authorize Alabama to start its own tracking system.

"It's a strange coincidence that we have a case of mad cow disease at the same time the Senate is debating this bill," Moore said. "I see this as an imposition on freedom and liberty." ...

When asked if he believed that the mad cow report could be manufactured, Moore replied, "That's right." But if it is true, Moore said, bureaucrats are exploiting fears to promote the passage of a tracking system.
