--snip--

The raid on the Western treasuries is on again, but today with a new rationale to fit current ideological fashion. With socialism dead, the gigantic heist is now proposed as a sacred service of the newest religion: environmentalism...

[Puzzleman]

Another good one from Krauthammer.

Politically it's an idea of genius, engaging at once every left-wing erogenous zone: rich man's guilt, post-colonial guilt, environmental guilt.

Great line!

(The EPA proposes regulating emissions only above 25,000 tons, but it has no such authority.)

People need to hammer the EPA on this. Ask them how they calculated the required CO2 mitigation and what precise effect it will have. Ask them for the raw data and the calculations.

What People? They sure are not listening to the People out here! Health Care reform for Christmas while 61% of the PEOPLE are opposed to it, Regulating CO2 as a dangerous pollutant,great lets get rid of all of it and then what do we eat when the Plants dont grow,well we wont have to worry about that when they kill off a lot of the Carbon based life forms ,Us.

“The EPA proposes regulating emissions only above 25,000 tons”

The Kenyan has threatened Republicans to go along with cap and tax or he’ll unleash the EPA. The pubbies should call Kenyan’s bluff by letting energy prices rise.

America is waking up to the cost of the Kenyan’s communist coup. The more aroused the voters are, the better.

If EPA is going to hold a gun to the head of congress and congress does not disarm them, why have a congress at all?

One of the major goals of the Copenhagen climate summit is another NIEO shakedown: the transfer of hundreds of billions from the industrial West to the Third World to save the planet by, for example, planting green industries in the tristes tropiques.

The shakedowns never stop.
