DHS Introduces Green Police
The New American ^ | April 13, 2012 | Raven Clabough

Posted on 04/16/2012 9:05:45 AM PDT by Twotone

The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will be creating an “environmental justice” unit that will be overseeing environmental regulations, alongside local governments. The unit’s role of enforcing environmental regulations has prompted critics to refer to the new department as the “green police.”

The DHS defines environmental justice as “the commitment of the Federal Government … to avoid placing disproportionately high and adverse effects on the human health and environment of minority populations and low-income populations.”

Yet another Marxist—Black Liberation Theology—Anti-Constitutional contrivance for us to dismantle and discard as soon as we eject its current criminal Quisling squatter and fumigate the White House.

While arrogance in any form or measure is equal parts narcicism and ignorance, Prezzadint Barrio Bummer has redefined just how venally consumed with it any one person can be. The chance exists, despite the mountain empirical evidence to the contrary, that our "president" [sic] actually believes that he is the smartest person in the room at any given moment. But when any churlish, petulant, self-absorbed navel-gazer needs a podium, mirophone, and two teleprompters to address a small classroom of 5th-grade school children, even the least observant or insightful among us has to wonder if they aren't watching a moron of rare and crippling philistinism.

This jigging rump-clown will go down in history as the single-most ridiculous imbecile ever to hold the highest office in the land. The brazenly pandemic media complicity needed to escort this ignoramus past the public and its gatekeeprs into the Oval Office is a badge of shame that will take decades for the Fourth Estate to be scrubbed of the stain from, if ever.

The next President and Congress are going to spend the first year in office undoing all the Anti-American garbage this putz has left in his putrid wake.

It’s getting uglier by the day.

Thanks for the link. From the document within: "Every Component of the Department has a role, some larger, some smaller, in ensuring that environmental justice has been considered in securing the homeland without placing disproportionate burdens on the health and environment of low income populations and minority populations." Huh?

But the real driving force behind this is the goal of penalizing Americans for creating carbon dioxide (or appearing to do so). Eventually there will be federal charges (hate crime?) for burning coal.

Remember back when a bunch of us were deriding Bush because of his asinine creation of DHS? Remember all the names some of us were called least least of which was "tin foilers" ...

We warned you there would be mission creep. We warned you this would be misused under other Administrations.

Reap the whirlwind...

If you define human beings as things, animals or machines, then there’s no limit to what you can accomplish. That’s the perspective of the monsters occupying the White House.

Amen. Interesting that instead of securing our borders and giving those in charge of immigration the tools needed for timely accurate assessment, 9-1 was used as an excuse to remove freedoms and create an ever encroaching surveillance state. Those who wanted secure borders were called vigilantes as I recollect.

Vigilantes, Racists, "red-neck dumb-asses"...

And that from people who should have been on our "side" of the issues.

Our bipartisan locals will now be empowered to rob you for anything that you try to do on your own property. The depopulation effort against rednecks resumes.
