Green Gestapo, EPA has declared carbon dioxide a “pollutant”
If the Environmental Protection Agency were some benign government unit tucked away in the corner of some massive federal government building, we could safely conclude it was doing its job to keep the nation’s air and water clean.
It is the very antithesis of that. It is a Green Gestapo that has wreaked havoc with all aspects of the nation’s industrial and agricultural communities, run roughshod over property rights, declared puddles to be navigable waters, and removed invaluable, beneficial chemicals from use to protect the lives and property of all Americans.
In much the same way as the FBI maintains a “Ten Most Wanted” list of criminals, so does the EPA.
The EPA’s former director, Carol Browner, was recently discovered to be a commissioner in Socialist International, described by Steven Milloy of JunkScience.com as “a decidedly anti-capitalistic political cause.” Socialist International’s principles are the communist principles set forth by Karl Marx.
Browner is presently the chief White House advisor to the President on environmental issues.
The announcement that the EPA has declared carbon dioxide a “pollutant” and all so-called greenhouse gases a danger to human health and welfare now clears the way to regulate every single economic activity in the nation, most notably the emissions from automobiles.
The EPA is poised to further ruin the quintessentially American auto industry with regulatory power that will determine what kind of automobile Americans will be permitted to drive, limiting the use of internal combustion, and forcing the purchase of high cost hybrids and those run on massive batteries.
Naturally, the announcement was greeted with joy by the likes of the demented Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and a panoply of environment organizations such as the Environmental Defense Fund.
The EDF hailed the...

To late … green is everywhere. In our schools, businesses and constantly preached on the TV. Even many of my favorite TV programs have a background theme … green.
When this news came out last week, how disappointing. How dangerous. To declare what we exhale to be a government controlled pollutant!!! Insanity. The Earth has cooled for the last 10 years, they ignore it. They want to push their agenda as fast as possible, before the Sheeple get a clue. All they want is more tax dollars. Greedy evil bastards. It’s all a lie. There is no global warming, they have lied long enough to convince the stupid it is real. It snowed 2 to 3 feet in Colorado yesterday. It was 40 here today at noon in the midwest. It’s nearly May. Socialists tell a lie until the Sheeple believe it’s the truth. 2010 elections can’t get here soon enough. We are so so screwed. Electric bills and lots of other things are going to go sky high. Damn liberals, they never give up.
The allusion to nazi ideology isn’t hyperbole. When the government can simply decree something to be the truth, effectively silencing any further debate, it’s just a minor adjustment of wording to declare jews an inferior race. Same mindset.
Water vapor makes up 95% of the greenhouse gases. Is that dangerous, too?
When do they ban soda? What do they think makes a drink “carbonated”?
This is insanity and must be fought at all costs. This stupidity is meant to enslave us, not to “save the earth”.
America needs saving. The Earth is just fine.
After the revolution, the EPA will have to be abolished.
Let’s ban carbon dioxide...so we can kill all the vegetation that depends on it...which in turn no longer produces oxygen..which we depend on...yeah...that’s quite a plan........
Without CO2 all plant life including vegetation will die, and with it humans and animals. It is essential for life on Earth. End of story.
Absolutely. It is akin to banning water!
More idiots! Idiots everywhere! Didn't those fools go to grade school? Will they be happy once the green plants are all dead?
People, we need to get busy to save our planet and our Nation from a severe deluge of idiots!
But how can you beat a constant maelstrom of Green propaganda?. It is everywhere, on TV, radio, product packaging and more so, in our schools, being preached to our kids like it is gospel.
Tell kids the truth, life on Earth depends on CO2, it cannot be a pollutant. When libs start spewing their nonsense, especially vegetarians and vegans, laugh at them, and tell them the common sense version, that without CO2 their precious vegies would die, along with all the trees they love to hug, and would not be there to supply the oxygen they themselves need in order to breathe.
What the EPA does now will have long reaching tentacles. As an example, around once a week, I fill out a form and send it to my state, requesting permission to pollute the environment with dirt (build a road, parking lot, etc). Why does my state ask this of me? The EPA makes the states do this...and the authority to do this comes from the clean water act of 1973.
All over the country, people are filling out forms to dirty up the environment with dirt. The EPA has levied huge fines on cities and counties for not playing along. So now any city of significant size has several people assigned to ‘administer’ their program, and satisfy the EPA.
So here we are, 36 years after the clean water act, there seems to be no end to what it will morph into.
Imagine what a ban on carbon dioxide could do, in another 36 years.
We must ban the worst contributor to global warming: H20. With continued unchecked use we could all be dead in a matter of minutes. Just a ladle full is enough to kill!
In a more serious note. This topic came up in my Economics and the Environment class the other day. With proper management me can carefully eliminate the C02 threat, by eliminating China. It would drop the cost for building nuclear power plants here in America and we would have a nice place to store the waste.
So true...I mock it all the time at work and with friends but in a way that shows how silly it is without insulting my friends who simply are too busy with their lives to spend any real time looking into the fallicy or simply don’t understand the science of it all...
Anyway, we have to keep voicing dissent to all this madness no matter what happens because the bamboozling of our country over the alleged “man made” issue and now “man made” solution is an economic threat of unparalled proportions and it WILL affect every person in this country.
Everthing our Founding Fathers warned us not to do, we have done. We were so into our amusements, luxuries, and distractions, our central government has taken control of every aspect of our lives and we are now under tyranny, no doubt about it.
You are spot on with that assessment...
The EPA is one of the programs that should be scrapped. It’s Unconstitutional.
Back in the day, my parents had a slightly different approach. My father was career military (early 50’ to early 70’s) so we didn’t have any free coins. They always told me that they would buy me the latest toy craze if someone else in the neighborhood bought one first. If such a “prize” didn’t show up, it was soon for gotten, if it did appear in our local, it would soon be shown to be the junk it really was. Smart parents.
Telling kids the truth, especially when they are at an age when their parents are stupid and their teachers are “gods” in their eyes is a difficult situation. You spend two or four hours of quality time with them every day … their teachers spend a solid six hours plus of propaganda time with them everyday.
