Don’t worry—there will be retraining and Government jobs waiting for all those unemployed miners. Just keep saying: hope and change.

There is seething anger in WV against the pro environ suburban transplants. This decision is going to incite violence.

[Parley Baer]

More people will be out of work.

No coal for you!

No jobs either.

Actually, if you were from Appalachia you might not be saying that.

The coal can be mined without blowing off the top of the mountains. If it can’t then the coal isn’t worth mining.

Here:
“LEAF is a Christian fellowship of Tennesseans whose faith leads them to take action for Tennessee’s environment. Concern for God’s Creation is not a matter of being liberal or conservative, a Republican or a Democrat. We believe people of faith can look beyond such distinctions and do the Lord’s work together.”

I am usually not in favor of govt intervention, but in this case I am.

Here’s the results of a poorly monitored slurry pond in Kingston, TN. That’s right down from our house, and the community there is devistated.

Another case of democrats cutting their own throats. This decision is very likely to cost two career democrat Congressmen their jobs this November. Rahall and Molohan were once considered the safest of the safe seats, reelected over and over by the pro-union coal miners in their districts. Now they are in a fight for their political survival. By siding with the environmentalists, democrats have pushed pro-union coal miners into the Republican column, something unthinkable a few years ago.

This communist regime plans on squeezing us out of civilized existance. Full throttle is now engaged...

Just how many in this administration have ever worked a real
job and sweated to earn a living? I guess that is what they
are trying to save us from.
