Lol. We warned everyone of this how many times?

[sport]

That is all that Obama is doing [implementing UN Agenda 21].

[sport]

Me too. That is what the idiots voted for. He plainly stated what he intended to do before he was elected the first time. This was probably the only time he has told the truth since he has been occupying the White House. now that are finally getting what they voted for, the idiots are crying. Let them cry. There is no cure for stupidity. When the policies they voted for kill them, maybe the survivors can start anew and rebuild.

Get a map out. Plot where coal mines and coal fired plants are. Get another map of the 2012 election results out. Compare them, NO WE DID NOT ELECT the SOB. Even if every union member voted for him (in our area a majority DID NOT) its ok by you to double the cost of electricity for everyone for the wrong votes of less than 1% (coal and coal plant workers who voted obama)? Real smart.

By the way I'm forced to be a Teamster and have not missed a due in 27 years. I despise unions but have no choice. Union leadership loves obama not rank and file. I'll put my conservative credentials up against yours any day. Don't presume to lecture me about the ills of unions.

Where Our Coal Comes From

[anoldafvet]

A good portion of California’s electricity comes from COAL FIRED GENERATING PLANTS in Utah and Nevada.

Along with post 104#

The coal miner’s unions should have gone full out to defeat Obama instead of merely refusing to endorse him. Sometimes you get what you deserve.

The stupids of West Virginia elected Joe Manchin who everyone knows is up obammys ass
If the coal industry is shut down and they all lose their jobs they have only to look in any mirror

[Tail Gunner John]

Thanks, coal country looks pretty blue to me.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Fogedaboutit!! Barky is on a roll to destroy the US economy. Nothing can stop him now.

[rabidralph]

Yes, they did.

[mad_as_he$$]

Exactly. Start announcing rolling black outs as plants are idled.

[JimSEA]

This is exactly the same bigotry I saw George Wallace and Lester Maddox direct toward blacks back when I was a young man. The end result this time will likely be everyone hating everyone else who doesn’t look, talk and act like themselves.

This is exactly the same bigotry I saw George Wallace and Lester Maddox direct toward blacks back when I was a young man.

At least George Wallace later in life apologized.

"Coal country begs Obama for mercy as hundreds of coal plants ready for closing..."

Union Coal Miners in our neck of the woods overwhelmingly voted for Obama...

As the kids say: "Own it Bitches..."

[AmericanExceptionalist]

I recall WV voted Blue.

In the 2012 presidential election, West Virginia cast 412,406 votes (or 62.3 percent) for Mitt Romney, versus 234,925 votes (or 35.5 percent) for Barack Obama.

[JimSEA]

Yes but I don’t expect any of the DC crew to apologize. Wallace used “ni##erbaiting for political gain, Obama, Holder and crew really believe the sh!t they are spouting.

[MaxMax]

I must be thinking of another state. I’ll figure it out.
