The world is laughing at us...

[COBOL2Java]

The link to the original Fox article has about 1,400 comments and more each minute. People are PISSED.

Careful! You don't want the Speaker to lose it!

EPA = Enviromentalists’ Protection Agency

I am waiting for one major corperation that decides in this regulatory environment that they can no longer be a "going foward" organization and closes down after the close of the bell some afternoon after 4 and distributes all remaining assets to shareholders and lets everyone go and shuts down all operations in a nano-second.

If it is an energy company, all the better...

I made the post about 1,400 comments about an hour ago. The total now is over 2,000!

They are not shutting down. They are working outside the US and importing the oil.

[TexasRepublic]

“you never hear the oil co’s and their refineries complain or take out ads about the way they are treated by the enviros.”

They are scared silly the Fascists will shut them down. The damned government already holds the largest corporations in the country in the grip of fear. What scares me the most is that the public has not revolted over it. While the protesters in the Middle East have no brains, they do have balls.

[taildragger]

Understood, but when will some major corporation go Galt in a way that really gets someones attention, The S & P and Bill Gross’s warnings are just nibbling around the surface and so many are still asleep.....

[Major Matt Mason]

The move has angered some in Congress and triggered a flurry of legislation aimed at stripping the EPA of its oil drilling oversight.

Yes, I'm sure the pantywaists in the GOP will get cracking on this ASAP. Not.

We are virtually the only country on the face of the earth that locks up its natural resources.

We are on a suicide mission.

[headstamp 2]

That’s OK. We’ll move about 100 feet over and let the Russians drill for it.

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx for the ping FreedomPoster !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[Marine_Uncle]

Of course we knew it would come down to this. The EPA marches on in victory.

[Thebaddog]

It was the emissions from the ice breaker that would service the rig that hung up the permit. BS!

[Augie]

Unreal. It’s time to de-fund the EPA.

[Elsiejay]

A clever move; should help lower Shell’s obscene profits by a point or two, and that’s one element of the campaign to downsize the U. S. petroleum industry.

[matt04]

I just emailed Issa’s office. I am thinking of calling tomorrow.

This is not about protecting the environment, it is about destroying the economy in the US according to the wishes of the socialists in charge of the EPA.

[Quickgun]

And rightly so. But until there is actually a Civil War II, I don’t believe anything will change. Until there are real consequences for the people destroying the country, they won’t stop.
