Rats have all sorts of legislation they don’t actually want to pass.
While Bush was President Democrats in the House and Senate had bills to bring back the draft. MTV in 2004 was airing “news updates” that Bush was planning to bring back the draft so you’d better vote for John F.T.A. Kerry. The only politicians making such efforts were Democrats.
Even the sponsors of such legislation voted against their own bills.
As a MA voter, I feel great shame in the people we elect to serve in Washington.
Ted Kennedy was evil.
John Kerry is evil.
Elizabeth Warren is evil
Markey is just a straight-up idiot. He’s not smart enough to be evil, but he’s dumb enough to do damage.
For an supposedly “smart” state, MA makes a lot of bad political choices.
I’ve dealt directly with Markey on various pieces of legislation for 20 years now. Trust me, he’s every bit as evil as Fauxcahontas.
Mitch McConnell is giving them rope.
I feel great shame in the people we elect to serve in Washington.

Two culprits for the decline in wisdom and common sense: public school and MFM. Strong foundations begin to crumble if not maintained.
Well, that’s sad. I just thought he was dumb.
Oh, he’s dumb, but in a very evil sort of way.
Well, let’s see it happen. Otherwise McConnell is just as bad as loser Boehner.
I recently drove down to northeastern Mass to pickup a mantle clock. While driving through the backroads, it was like going back in time, nearly to the colonial period. I mused at how the birthplace of liberty is now the cesspool of communism and the place where schemes to destroy our Constitution fester and ferment.
Seems like both parties don’t like to actually vote for what they say they want too often.
Reminds me of the RINOs voting against obamacare and for a wall until they had a president who wouldn’t veto it.
But this dem bill is A SICK SOCIALIST screed.
Wow.
While Republicans were working hard for their families, the Dems were infiltrating every institution that made America Great. They control the entire education system as well as the National Council of Churches. We werent paying enough attention and now we are reaping the whirlwind.
GND = DOA
The Green New Deal is built on several hoaxes. First - that carbon dioxide is a pollutant that threatens the quality of life on Planet Earth. Fact: Life on earth is indivisible from the presence of carbon dioxide. Period. End of story.
The second hoax is that mankind can do anything even slightly perceptible in regards to the concentration of carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere. The natural processes of nature preclude any variation in the concentration of carbon dioxide beyond a relatively narrow window, as these natural processes produce VASTLY far more CO2 than all the fossil fuel furnaces ever built by man, even if stoked up and running flat out at the max and all simultaneously. One good vent from a volcano achieves this all by itself, let alone rotting vegetation and other organic material, or lightning-strike fires raging through old-growth forests or grasslands.
Carbon dioxide is being reabsorbed and fixed as some form of carbohydrate through the life process of sunlight shining on green growing plants in the presence of sufficient moisture and warmth, in what is a relatively narrow band of optimal activity between just above the freezing point of water and about 90 degrees on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
The third part of the hoaxes being imposed is that carbon dioxide affects in any way imaginable the average daily temperature of the biosphere of the planet. The great regulator here is a much different component of the atmosphere, and one that is HIGHLY variable, water vapor, a most wondrous compound which can simultaneously exist ins three different states of matter, as a solid, as a liquid, and as a gas, depending on the amount of latent heat energy the compound contains at the moment. Water vapor has approximately the same index of heat absorption as carbon dioxide, with one very important difference, or perhaps two important differences. There is anywhere from 30 to 100 times the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere at any given time, as there is of carbon dioxide. thus far more heat energy shall be absorbed by water vapor than ever could be by carbon dioxide.
A second great difference is that water vapor, on a molecular basis is much lighter than carbon dioxide, and thus, far more likely to RISE to heights in the atmosphere than CO2 ever could. When you look high in the skies and see a jet-propelled aircraft at 35,000 feet leaving a condensation trail across the sky, that trail is composed ENTIRELY of water vapor. As the CO2 from the exhaust cools, is sinks rapidly from the stratosphere to a level within about a couple of miles above the sea level in the atmosphere, and does not rise above what is known as the tree line on mountain ranges, and at very high altitudes, virtually no vegetation at all exists.
Other clouds form from water vapor, and those at very high altitudes are composed of very fine ice crystals, the solid form of water. To change from vapor form to ice, the molecules of water have to give up an ENORMOUS quantity of heat, you can look this up in textbooks, but trust me, it is BIG. This heat has to go somewhere, and as the earth turns away from the sun, it is radiated off into space, from the night sky. By dawn, the heat balance on that side of the world is depleted, and the now much cooler atmosphere causes changes in the average density of the entire atmosphere, which is equalized by air currents moving from one point to another, creating weather as we know it. This very majestic daily energy shift is what makes all the other earthly processes repeat endlessly, and is far more powerful, in the total sum, than any small disturbances mankind shall ever be able to institute.
Praise the Lord, I was fortunate in being taught “old school”, when foundations were cut in stone and country was consumed in freedom and liberty. After that, things begin to change in schools and the slide downhill was rapidly increasing. All the difference in the world between me and last sibling to have been ‘taught’
VERY apparent!
Burn Cambridge, Brookline, and Welslley to the ground and we might have fighting chance.
Neither the “New Deal” nor the Green movements have ever been anything but a front for imposing a command-and-control economy and governing system on the United States.
FDRs original “New Deal” was in fact a serious crib from the program promoted by Benito Mussolini in Italy during the 1920s, and the Fascist government of Italy was held to be the model for how the economy of the US might be reorganized, in “fairness” to the working class.
The original intent of the socialist program behind fascism was to harness the wealth generation capability of capitalist investment for the benefit of distribution of the proceeds in larger quantity for the labor force that contributed its efforts to the growth and market penetration of the organized corporations. The corporate entities were to be organized into “syndicates”, a group of cartels each specializing in one segment of the economy, and the purpose of the government was to consolidate and regulate this consolidation until there was one essential leadership council of each of the various segments of the economy. Once this state of nirvana was achieved, the state, as such, would simply wither away, and the oligarchies of each of the syndicates would effectively govern the flow of wealth and the well-being of the denizens under their purview.
The “Greens” have taken the further step of actively promoting government agencies as the “innovators”, and not the capitalistic oligarchies, who would only be “permitted” to join in as the assigned “winners” of the lottery of distribution of largesse from the proceeds of funds from taxation. Those who failed to meet approval of the government “experts” would be mercilessly driven from the marketplace.
Laissez-faire capitalism was to be totally suppressed and denounced as “evil”.
Turns out, any form of command-and-control economics can only continue for so long as the great masses do not become restless, and the usually much smaller number of professional malcontents is ruthlessly suppressed, by imprisonment, exile, or execution of the most recalcitrant.
Police state and socialism are indivisible.
Mao Ze-Dong said it best - “Power grows out of the barrel of a rifle.”
Do away with fossil fuels and closed borders and the socialist utopia of Norway is dead and bankrupt.
Will anyone be surprised Mitch when capitulates and cancels the vote?
Two culprits for the decline in wisdom and common sense ... I’ll include a third... the people have been bought off with government payments (hence losing their freedom) which the Founders never imagined. Recently I overheard two early 30s people who make not much above the minimum wage talking about food stamps. The one who was thinking about applying said ... “As they say, if the government can feed you, the government can starve you.” She went on to justify it because others do it. Hence, she has common sense, but the enticement is worth the loss of freedom. The payoffs are also made at the institutional level. I submit that many colleges would go belly-up without all the federal $. The reason for “free tuition” being pushed is to perpetuate and expand the left’s control of what the youth of our country “learn”.
As far as the left infiltrating the churches, it is far beyond the National Council of Churches. The left sees no need to separate the church from government when it advances their agenda. For example, look at how many “Christian” churches embrace homo-marriage, or push environmentalism.
Why would Mitch cancel the vote? How would the vote harm the GOP senators?
