How many casualties are there going to be from Peabody's BK?
How many smaller businesses are going to be destroyed from this hit to their balance sheet?
F’ing Obama......bragging about this during his candidacy should be considered metaphorically as Murder 1.
This was premeditated.

Yet sadly, there are a lot of voters in coal country who will go to the polls and dutifully vote for the Democrat.

Please define "coal country". Which States constitute "coal country"? Why do you consider them part of "coal country"? I would recommend looking up recent coal production statistics to assist you in this effort.

Please identify which Presidential candidate these States supported in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.

You may find the results of your research surprising.

The “war on coal” is part of of the larger plan to “fundamentally transform America.” That plan is to turn America into a communist state where one party has exclusive and perpetual political power. To do that, the economically independent conservative base of the Republican party must be converted to reliable dependent democrats. A look at the voting patterns of the United States down to the precinct level (a look that democrats like David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett have taken), shows that the largest concentrations of economically independent conservatives are in the suburbs.

In order to herd them into the cities and make them reliable democrats, suburban living must be destroyed. Suburban living depends on two things: good paying jobs and cheap energy. Take them away, and the suburbs disappear. Every policy of this administration makes sense when you consider it serves the purpose of eliminating the abundance of good paying jobs or cheap energy. The war on coal is one tactic in that larger strategy.

As a larger strategy, the communists rarely come up with something you haven’t seen in their playbook before. American conservatives are Kulaks. The communists are breaking them, and herding them into the Kolkhoz.

That’s ~7600 people to add to the welfare rolls.

Peabody is publicly held. The largest privately owned company in the US is Murray. Murray hasn’t declared bankruptcy yet.

Yes. Next will come the gulags, the killing fields, and the mountains of skulls.

The media romanticizes Appalachian ‘coal country’...which is fine with me, since they’d be horrified to see the scale of coal mining in Wyoming.

Imagine where they would have us if it were not for the shale oil revolution. That’s why they despise hydraulic fracturing so much.

Coal production data.

Wyoming is #1. By almost a factor of 4. The North Antelope Mine and the Black Thunder Mine each produce at least as much coal as the entire state of West Virginia (which is #2, by a factor of 1.5 over #3 Kentucky). 0bama certainly hates Coal Country (all of it); Coal Country voted for McCain and Romney.
