Good Grief!… New Obama Regulations Limit Slope on Mini-Golf Holes

It’s an Obama world.
New government regulations limit the slope of the mini-golf holes and would force businesses to allow miniature horses on their premises as guide animials.
CNS News reported:
Although the Justice Department has extended the deadline for America’s hotels to comply with regulations regarding handicap access to swimming pools, new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines are already being applied at miniature golf courses, driving ranges, amusement parks, shooting ranges and saunas.
Among the provisions in the “Revised ADA Standards for Accessible Design,” which went into effect on March 15, is one requiring businesses to allow miniature horses on their premises as guide animals for the disabled. Another limits the height of slopes on miniature golf holes.
“The new standards, for the first time, include requirements for judicial facilities, detention and correctional facilities, and recreational facilities,” Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez said during a conference in Baltimore on June 7.“We expect the implementation of these accessibility standards to open up doors for full participation in both the responsibilities, such as jury duty, and the benefits, such as playing at city parks, of civic life for people with disabilities,” he said.

It seems to me there should be an EPA regulation outlawing the propagating of this sort of garbage.
pink tie Republican commented:
Next rule, all mini-golf holes must allow the golfer to get a hole in one every time or IT’S JUST NOT FAIR!!!

The thing that worries me,isn’t that someone thought of this asinine regulation.
It’s that so many “useful idiots” thought it was brilliant..

“…one requiring businesses to allow miniature horses on their premises as guide animals for the disabled.”
Not to detract from the idiocy of the entire new list of provisions, but miniature horses? Why miniature horses when guide dogs are the norm? Is this another example of Muslim sympathizing? Or is there something in the new provisions about allowing use of dogs at the snack bars? nyuck nyuck
But, seriously, miniature horses?
I suppose miniature golf courses don’t leave much of a carbon footprint, which would leave them with carbon credits to sell instead of big carbon bills to pay. Most miniature golf parks are small, with few employees, so they can’t be milked dry by employee insurance benefits. If run by watchful managers and employees who care about the parks at which they work, overhead and maintenance can be kept low. What’s left? There must be a way to drive these small businesses out of business…hhmmm…just gotta’ get creative. Voila! Time to call in the ADA!
That’s all I can figure. Miniature horses…

Mini guide horses??? Did you ever see one?
Think of the piles of you-know-what. Just like this regime.
Good grief.
All of those idiotic regulations.
Better to control you with, my dear.

“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.” Fed. no. 45.
We all remember those stirring debates that hot Philadelphia summer of 1787 as the delegates went back and forth on golf course regulations, finally compromising in the Bridged Golf Gulf which they enshrined in their Constitution.

It appears that Kenya Boy, knowing he’s in his last year in office, is throwing it all at us, every BS, costly, harmful idea he can conjure up to be mandated, either by Executive Order or via one of the Fed’s many poisonous tentacles. If this is the case, and it looks that way to me, just imagine how much more angry and desperate to leave his mark (or, simply, leave marks) on this country he’ll be between the first week of this Nov and the last week of Jan 2013. He’s gonna’ get mean and nasty; just wait and see.

A classic case of a disgruntled nerd not being allowed to play with the “jocks” whining he’s gonna take his ball and go home. The man’s ego is writing checks NO ONE will ever be able to cash.
Win or lose this election Barry is hellbent on a course to destroy America, period.
bobdog commented:
Let’s see if I understand this right. At the risk of sounding obnoxiously insensitive, we’re expected to re-engineer the entire country, at our own expense, for a handful of service ponies?
I wonder what the cost-benefit ratio for this little project would turn out to be. Would somebody get back to me on the total cost, and the value of the benefits of this decision? Oh, and while you’re at it, total up the cost of retrofitting all those public swimming pools, too.
But if you’re over 70 and need a new hip, sorry. It’s not cost beneficial. You’ll just have to get along without it. You’re too old and it costs too much, considering how many years of life you have remaining.

So is the freak and his female-like comrade who occupy the WH and rule over us with an ever-tightening iron fist.
FurryGuy commented:
You do realize that Biden never attended an Ivy League school, don’cha? But most assuredly his brain has turned….
Oh never mind, having to explain the joke spoils it.

Wow, what next, marrying miniature horses at a miniature golf course? Obama and his comrades are nefarious people…a government purge is in order.
