There is NO F*****G WAY that man-made CO2 causes Global Warming since mankind has greatly increased CO2 emissions over the last 15 years, but global average temperature has remained essentially flat for that same period. At BEST, CO2 is a secondary effect on climate, and it might only be tertiary. But it is damn-sure not a PRIMARY effect!!! Go ahead and throw up, Greenies. Get it out of your system! Might as well let the registration lapse on your "350.org" URL. :o)

Close it down, close it down, CLOSE IT DOWN!!! To that end, take a quick look at USA.gov and find the "A-Z Index of Depts and Agencies": ( http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/index.shtml ) There are about 500 of them. In 15 minutes, see how many listed entities you can find that our country should close. You know, stuff that is clearly not covered by Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. Yep, it's breathtaking.

I sure hope I'M becoming the "new normal". I watch Fox News, Fox Business, the Military channel, History and Nat Geo and Discovery (when they don't let any Global Warming cr@p creep in) and some movie channels. I do NOT watch any MSM "entertainment" channels, NONE AT ALL. And I've never been happier!

GOOD GRIEF!!! How could any bunch of Senators be SO ARROGANT!!! These guys actually think they are smart enough to guide entire marketplaces of jobs and hourly wages to two decimal places without screwing up even ONE little thing! MORONS!! Better idea: Round 'em all up, send 'em all home. Congress will screw up anything else.

Won't this be fun? Watching the next rounds of whistleblowers and other subpoenaed witnesses before Issa's committee- Mullen, Pickering, Petraeus, Clinton, and many others we do not even know yet. At some point we'll find Carney and Obozo have been completely castrated, and might as well resign. No, wait... that will come after BOTH Benghazi AND this IRS cr@p have run their course. BETTER STILL!!!

Loved your article, Todd. Really! But please please please learn the difference between compose and comprise. We conservatives will be even better promoters of American values if we use the English language in an exemplary manner. Most folks would be safer ignoring "comprise" except in special circumstances.

Oh GOD, not again! First we have a good Eagle Scout named Cole Withrow expelled for trying to do the right thing, and now we get Kiera Wilmot expelled for doing a science experiment!! SHEESH!!! When will the Education Blob stop their knee-jerk reactions and start acting like grownups?? BOTH of these cases could have been learning experiences for the entire student body. Instead, students MUST be confused about knowing right from wrong because of these IDIOTIC decisions.

Thanks, Hawker, you are so right. FairTax is the only REAL reform that will make the fundamental changes we need. All this other stuff essentially leaves the bad attributes of income-side taxation in place. Since we desperately need repatriation of investment capital to the US (about $12 trillion sitting on the sidelines) to build new industries and businesses, tweaking the income tax won't help. A consumption tax is the best solution. The FairTax is it. Unfortunately, we might have to dump a few RINOs for some new Tea Party folks in Congress to make it happen. But that would be a good thing for many reasons, not just tax reform.

There is NOTHING in the EPA that we simply cannot live without. Nothing. Close the doors, terminate all the eco-terrorist bureaucrats, and sell the facilities and capital assets.

Don't you guys GET it?? In 800+ pages of dense, legal language, this bill can hide as much CR@P as Obamacare did in the same 800+ pages! NO to citizenship- EVER, unless they start over at the back of the line from within their HOME country. NO benefits- EVER. And NOTHING starts without a FENCE (and DRONES) that is SECURE by Tea Party standards. And E-Verify should become a requirement for ALL employment in the USA. Sheesh- wouldn't it be simpler just to close the border, fire-up E-Verify, and then send them ALL BACK HOME???
