If no one follows, then it isn’t “leadership”.
(In this case, it’s theft)
For a “Lame Duck,” he sure as hell getting a lot pushed through and accomplished. He’s the most dangerous lame duck we’ve ever had.
Drum major Obama leads but the Band turned Right miles back
he is going to paris in order to bypass congress and commit this country to an international agreement enforceable by outside forces apparently- He is giving up our country’s sovereignty by doing so, and congress sits there and does NOTHING to prevent it!
[[At least this is one area where his ineffectiveness as a leader does more good than harm.]]
It’s not going to do good- He is about to give up this nation’s sovereignty- He is going to subject this nation to international law on this issue- and expect the UN to sue the crap out of this nation for ‘not doing enough to control carbon emissions”
He is bypassing congress in order to do this- He has already bypassed congress on laws that are so bad for energy producing businesses that several states have had to band together in order to bring a lawsuit to stop him from making it economically impossible for them to do business- and now he’s going to bypass congress again and sign that international agreement
He WILL destroy this country before he leaves office- He’s well on his way to doing so, and we’ve only just begun to suffer the consequences (higher prices on EVERYTHING now, businesses having to pay fines and carbon taxes etc)
The sick thing is that IF a republican president tries to undo his illegal executive orders the world will scream about us ‘not caring about the environment’ ‘not caring about the poor’ ‘being homophobic’ etc etc etc- and the left I n this country will be screaming their fool heads off as well , and the public will continue to fall for their BS! and the republicans wil l continue to suffer for it because they aren’t strong enough to fight this LIE
[[No Congressional restraint.]]
Exactly- He’s about to give up sovereignty to the UN and congress apparently thinks that’s just fine and dandy. The UN wants to set up a special prosecution group just to prosecute the US for ‘crimes against nature’ for crying out loud, and we’re going to give them the right to do that?
[[For a “Lame Duck,†he sure as hell getting a lot pushed through and accomplished. He’s the most dangerous lame duck we’ve ever had.]]
Bingo! Exactly- The amount of damage he WILL do, (and had already done) will take us years and years to recover from- and if we get a democrat in for the next 8 years, we will have completely lost this country- not only will energy prices skyrocket, but we’ll see more and m ore muslims infiltrating this country and taking over towns all across America like they are in Germany and Britain and elsewhere because a democrat will open her arms welcoming them with a big ##$%$% eating grin on her face! We will not be able to survive- we’re very close to collapse now- and everyone knows it-
Thanks America for electing the one party (democrats) that hates this country so much that they are hell bent on destroying it
There are hundreds of billions of dollars in carbon taxes out there for the taking.
Obama and friends will never give up the Global Climate Change farce as long as that golden egg sits on the table.
“The power Obama is concerned about is not electrical but POLITICAL.”
Yes, the truly naive person is the one who thinks Obama is the only one who believes the fantasy, he doesn’t believe a word of it.
Actually much of the need for air conditioning could be avoided by building dwellings differently and bugs can be kept from flying in the window by screens. Most modern buildings in America are death traps without air conditioning but people used to live without it and survive. No, they were not as comfortable as we are now with air conditioning but they were far less miserable than most of us would be NOW without air conditioning, they would not have been able to live and work without it otherwise. Cold showers are good for you, quite stimulating, especially in the Summer.
so basically we outlaw domestic coal....so Indonesia can step in.
wow.
“people used to live without it and survive. No, they were not as comfortable as we are now with air conditioning but they were far less miserable than most of us would be NOW without air conditioning, they would not have been able to live and work without it otherwise”
LOL! I’m screaming. Come live in the deep South for a summer without AC. You will be one miserable mofo. I grew up without AC in Jax, Fl. It was so miserable I can still vividly remember the summer nights laying in bed sweating and praying a breeze or death would come. Fans just move the hot humid air around. I lived through two summers in Atlanta, GA without AC when I was in college. OMG!
Better yet if you really want the experience spend one summer in Orlando or Tampa, Fl in an old house without AC. Yeh it was the good old days.
Take a vacation driving across the South in a car with no AC for days on end. It was great except for having to stop and throw up on the side of the road every 10 miles. :-)
Sit in a classroom the first and last 3 weeks of school. All you could do at some point was just put your head down on the desk. It was too hot to listen or learn anything. You just feel sick.
Put on your business suit and tie and in my case suit and stockings and work in a building with no AC. Sweat running down your everywhere. Sick at your stomach all day.
Did we survive? Yes. Was the quality of life good? No it was about 6 months of misery every year. And old people died all the time from the heat.
If the AC goes away come on down and join us in Hell. :-)
It says they need to be weeded out for stupidity. In other words, the 19th, the 24th, and the 26th amendments were mistakes.
Did you understand anything I wrote? I grew up walking behind a plow in South Carolina, I served aboard the USS Saratoga home ported in Mayport Florida, I have been on a bus in dress blue (wool) in El Centro Ca. when the air conditioning broke down and I along with the other passengers stood under a shed while it was fixed. The thermometer hanging under that shed was reading 120. Why was I wearing wool? Not because I am crazy, even though I am but because the good old United States Navy said that you would travel when on leave in dress blue regardless of the season unless you had civilian clothes which I did not have available. I doubt you can educate me much about hot weather but my point was that there are ways to build buildings that people can survive in in hot weather rather than the type we build now that are NOT survivable in really hot weather. Most of your rant has nothing to do with what I said.
By the way when you say that fans only move the hot humid air around, I can agree with that when the temperature is higher than normal body temperature but when it is 95 degrees or less a fan is a definite help, it keeps that envelope of heat from sticking right around your body. Have you ever been in a limestone cavern where there is ZERO air movement? I have stood around in a cave where the air temp is 53 degrees F in a short sleeve shirt and never felt chilly. Even the slightest breeze outside on a 53 degree day has me calling for a jacket unless I am doing some kind of hard physical work.
On the farm where I grew up there was an old tobacco curing barn built by my ancestors that was never used except for a place to play when I was a kid. It was made of logs with a steep pitched, wood shingled roof and the bottom three feet or so under the logs was made of flat sandstone rock laid up with red clay mud used as mortar. You could go inside it on a ninety five degree day and feel comfortable, I used to wish I could sleep in it under a mosquito net in the summer. I have been inside a wattle and daub building which was a reconstruction of what the Indians used to build at Town Creek in North Carolina and found it quite comfortable on a really hot day. I don’t want to go back to building with sticks and mud but my point is that buildings can be constructed so that on a hot day they remain near the average temperature of the 24 hours rather than being even hotter than the hottest daytime temperature as many modern buildings are if not air conditioned. If my air conditioner broke down or the power failed during one of our super hot spells now I would have to go somewhere else, you simply could not live in this house without air conditioning in really hot weather and I mean you literally could not survive.
If you really did stop and throw up when driving without a/c you may be super sensitive to heat, I have worked through heat spells with temps as high as 106 in a vehicle without a/c and never threw up, I grant you it wasn’t fun but I did not have to stop and throw up.
If you grew up walking behind a plow in SC and you don’t think its so bad without AC you obviously had brain damage from too much sun and heat. Heat stroke will do that to you. :-)
Once again, I never said it is not bad without air conditioning, only that it does not have to be as bad as it is. Actually the brain damage probably came from the Hong Kong Flu of 1969 when my body temperature reached 105. I never had an actual heat stroke but there were times when I felt like I might.
I knew there had to be a reason. :-)
Obama can’t even get a decent nuke deal from “Death to America” Iran, so why would he get any country to follow him with this nonsense.
