Ohhh....

Isn’t that cute! Baby pictures of Obama. (But obviously, he was not allowed to breast feed.)

Congress can’t keep its own members from breaking simple laws but think they can control the climate of the entire planet.

Think through what “only able to afford the basics” means for the economy. Drive past your local strip malls, you see nails salons, insurance agents, a tanning place, pizza and chinese carryouts. Go into any office building and look at the directory, and you find “financial services,” some lawyers, maybe some counselors. When you get down to it, how many of the businesses there really fill basic needs? How many of them rely on “discretionary” money? Just about all of them.

If we have to pay triple for electric AND increased costs for all goods, here’s the economic decisions my family will make, in order:

1. No vacations
2. No new purchases of major goods unless absolutely necessary (I have 7 TV’s, 4 computers, 3 refrigerators, one freezer, 3 cars; I can last several years without purchasing a new one).
3. No entertainment (we attend a lot of sports events; that’s getting cut).
4. No dining out
5. Only basic food staples purchased
6. Son at college will come home to live in basement, unemployed (last resort).
7. Second son will not attend college (despite being advanced class straight A student, he’s a white male. No chance of scholarship under the 0bama regime).

That’s assuming we can keep employment, which I doubt in the case of my wife and which I expect to be drastically reduced on my part. Further cuts will be necessary. And, to the extent possible, we will start bartering.

Our economic decisions will be shared by millions. We are looking at MAJOR economic contraction, and the end of economic freedom. With the end of economic freedom, all political freedom will also end.

The Long March will be triumphantly over. Yeah.

They have to do something NOW before the entire Church of Global Warming crashes down on them and exposes them for the frauds they are.

My questions is, are there any conservatives in the senate in relatively good health? I've seen enough of the new world order, and Mr. Obama’s term hasn't even started yet. The gop doesn't have the votes in the house to stop the nonsese. I'm hoping that there are 3 or four gop senators in good health that can go Strom Thurmond for a while and shut down the government. As symbolic as it might be, it would be nice to know that not ever republican has lost their mind. The global warming hoax will translate into a trillion dollar tax on America unless it is stopped. And I don't know if our side has the guts to stop it.

It really is wrong to judge someone by their appearance. But coincidentally, this guy actually IS a dangerous, evil idiot.

You know, he actually LOOKS like a rat.

About time! It’s suppose to be -4F tonight!

Oh... never mind.

Better institute socialism before everyone realizes what a fraud global warming is.

Good analysis, henkster. Taxing ourselves to affect climate change is a fool’s errand. There is no plus side for economic or political freedom in American.

frost down here in Florida

the earth has cooled in the last 6 years and still the left tries to harp on about global warming or is now called climate change that way they can have it cold or how.

All hail the messiah, he’ll stop the seas from rising, change our weather, put homo’s in the military and create the new brown shirts of his national security force

Which he will conveniently wait until global warming migrates back north in the spring before introducing. After all, it’s HARD to sell global warming when the whole country is way colder than normal.

Laws prohibiting the consumption of pork will be next on his list of important issues that Congress will take on.
