So the Gulf air is ok, Corexit 'safe as dishsoap' says Lisa Jackson of the EPA, but shut down those plants!!

Congress has handed over supreme legal authority to the EPA without needing the oversight of a court apparently.

The One continues to consolidate His power and the Congress continues to suffer from optorectitus. This probably wouldn’t happen to a Democratically controlled state.

So shall Texas lead us in the fight to throw off the yoke of tyranny Obama would put on us? Will the clarion call of FREEDOM once again sound out from the Alamo?

Obama has already sound his own trumpets and their sound is ‘El Degüello’

It should be crystal clear by now, that the Federal government is inimical to the well-being, liberty, and self-determination of Texans.

The United States government has become destructive of those ends for which it was created. It is the right of its people to abolish it and institute new Government.

Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control food, you control the population.
Henry Kissinger declared in the 1970’s, ‘If you control the oil you control the country;(which is being done not only with the input side, but with the output of a byproduct, CO2) if you control food, you control the population

The EPA is out of control. I hope oil related companies start fighting back. After reading up about computer models and projections, every State and federal study should be challenge through the DATE QUALITY ACT.
