The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn't move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business.

No executions until after the guns are collected. And more ominously,, you dont NEED to execute people when you can destroy them with a government-media complex. Joe the plumber,, Sarah,, etc.
Raise your head and they examine your life all the way back to kindergarten, literally. (except of course,, the obama)

The ‘progressives’ have been lurking in this country for the past 96 years, just waiting for their opportunity to implement a ‘command’ economy. After all, they think they know what’s best for society.
They really believe it will be different here from any other country that tried it.
We know who they are, do they know who we are?
We are willing to sacrifice for liberty because all else is worthless without it.

The democrats are in power, and can defund the EPA at any time.

If anything bad comes from this, it's 100% in the hands of the democrats in the house and senate.

The democrat politicians aren't the victims here. WE are.

I say we the people, who produce the jobs and wealth- prepare oourselves to tutn out the lights and STAY HOME.

Let the “Commanders” take “Control” of that.

Galt lives.

meanwhile I sit here with two sweaters on and wonder what will happen when my electric bill goes up again, and again.
It does my heart good to see mashell obama’s bare abs (sarc).

If the EPA starts getting its fingers into things, not only is it BLATANT legislation from the White House, a Constitutional Violation... The EPA is has been a Constitutional usurpation for 35 years.

My thoughts EXACTLY.
Congress had better start eliminating these Fascist agencies.
Ofcourse we are going to hang on until 2010.
The Fascist are in a full out assault mode.
The only hope is for people to do a Iran style revolt against these thugs.

In answer to your question, he’ll start ordering public
executions soon after Oprah does the Christmas special at
the White House. He expects to get a big “bump” from that, and that bump will make it more palatable to the electorate.

I believe you are wtong. An order that goes unchallenged for 30 days goes into effect.

Once an individual plaintiff can make a case he has been damaged by these EPA regulations, THEN it can go to court - to be heard by liberal judges.

Let us be clear here, it likely matters not whether the EPA or the Congress impose limits on CO2. In either case it will bankrupt the Country.

Some examples of things that will potentially fall under the EPA’s thumb if the limits being discussed are imposed:

Any sporting event, such as an NFL game, that has more than 25,000 spectators present.

Large apartment buildings.

All concrete manufacturing plants.

Every single coal burning power facility in the Country.

Every single natural gas burning power facility in the Country.

Home firewood, no matter if you cut it yourself or have it delivered.

The possibilities are simply endless, and any combination of the above would stifle what little industry and commerce is left in the Nation.

Unfortunately as a consequence of losing the last Presidential election, and for putting Liberal Dhimmies in charge of the US Congress, we are naked until such time as we can replace the US Congress.

Got that right. The Republicans never reverse anything. Just keep playing defense. A losing strategy.

“Do we have a clearer understanding of the phrase “fundamentally change America”, YET?”

You nailed that. I still remember election night. And he said, “change has come to America”. We are so used to flowery political speak that we ignore it. He literally meant it. He meant to implement the socialist revolution in America in the model of Hugo.

He must be removed from office.

“Lisa Jackson”, not Carol Browner.
Jon Corzine’s almost-chief of staff is the head of the EPA.

However, Lisa - probably the smartest chemical engineeer ever produced by Tulane (sarc) who who has sucked at the public teat all her professional life, is a useful tool of Browner Socialist Globalist et al
