Cap and Tax

He Who Controls the "Flow" of.......

information controls the world. This is the "prime" reason that O'Vomit wants to control the Internet. This is the "prime" reason that the Liberals/Socialists/Communists gained control of the US news media in the 1960's.

Sadly, short of Hitler's "Final Solution", I don't see it changing anytime soon.

However, there are too many ways to "cheat" the "Net". I therefore believe that O'Vomit is not sharp enough to completely control the "Net". This does leave room for doubt is this matter.

Couldn't agree more. Even if he tried, there'd be many who'd find a way to continue blogging.

Good rant Eric

Al Gore is esentially selling "Cap and Trade" franchises. He is primarily responsible for selling the left on the notion that global warming can be their vehicle to gain both money (for new entities) and control (of us goobers on the right). It is a felonious scam that the left KNOWS is BS but will be the conduit for their gaining control and making millionaires of those like Gore.

Why not

shut up the opposition? How else do you look like everyone agrees with you? Why do you think he hand-picked the media allowed in the White House?

Good rant! :)

garnet

Exactly. And their followers think they are "saving" the world. All a money and power making scheme, which will screw America, and possibly the rest of the world who follows.

st8

Yeah, imagine if they had someone who actually asked a hard question! Or a regular concerned citizen! Of course, Obama and his cronies know all questions beforehand, so there's no way someone of opposition would be allowed within 1 mile of him.

Eric

They really don't give a rat's a*% about the climate. The bill is full of concessions to all of the worst carbon emitters. The greenies are furious. Garnet is spot on, it really is all about the Benjamins...all in the name of making everyone "equal". Except the ruling class, of course.

sgt stryker

Power ultimately corrupts and they have proved it. I agree with both of you. I can see why other countries are finding so many things wrong about this.

Eric

Nice post.
Again, why isn't the entire House fired? How many people can keep their job when they are not doing it?

Did you read the bill? Um...um...oh no! I read some highlights. Say what?

This is ridiculous. How about someone actually read what the heck they are voting on and stop coming out and telling us with a chuckle that we will see things come out in the bills months later.

Al Gore should be in jail. What a fraud. I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican. This guy is not even a scientist.

Now excuse me while I got perform heart surgery. I am sure the patient won't mind, even though I have ZERO training!

Eric

If you raise the cost of energy you raise the cost of EVERYTHING!

I'm Having a laugh about this!

I'm sitting in Appleton Airport in Wisconsin. I've been here 3 days and it hasn't broken 70. It was 1 degree off a record cold for the date.... Oh, I'm sorry, now it's climate change... That's right, this week the planet gets colder from greenhouse gasses... BTW, since when was CO2 a greenhouse gas?
Gee us dumb common people that don't understand that colder means warmer...

Good post Eric

No more innovatons other.......

Can you see that Fed control over any energy production, innovation, exploration, will simply be under some ideological bunch of Marxist nonsense. The EPA, enviros, Union jackbooted leaders , will be keeping BHO in line for the Stalin and Lenin Award. Coal, nuclear, natural gas, all will go the way of the DODO and we will look like Zimbabwe. It is a horror and hopefully some of the lemmings will finally see what an anti-capitalist this naif in the WH is. See ya.

Many of you may already know about Sewer Taps. I learned about them some years ago when I was a human being trying to put food on the table.

There is a real or estimated or imagined limit to how much sewage can be released into a municipal system. In order to regulate the amount of waste introduced into the system, so-called Sewer Taps are sold by the municipal utility company to developers of land. If you build a single family dwelling you can acquire one sewer tap for that property. By acquire, I mean pay a fee, otherwise known in the real world as a tax, to the city government who then graciously allows you to drain your waste products into the city sewer system.

Once in the market, any price can be charged for them regardless the amount of tax paid for it orignially to the government. Apartment projects and commercial entities can buy more than single family dwelling owners due to perceived or actual volume.

Compared to what will happen when the government begins to sell carbon credits, the sewer tap things will be looked back on as a freebie. Hundreds of millions, probably billions of dollars will be charged and profits made as a result of regulating anything that is released into the air, including as we have seen, Bovine intestinal gas.

Only one chance left to stop it now. On to the Senate! Good luck!

A wise man suggested to me that I should 'p(i)mp my blog' so here is my first effort. Click on my name to see what I had to say. Thanks.

Good comment. I wonder how many expensive bills the house will push through as fast as possible so no one can really read everything. Money and power grabbing is at an all time high right now and they are trying to accomplish it as quickly as possible. I pray the republicans all vote against this.

Georgetwin

Yeah, I think they know that, but don't care.

Jim

I think CO2 became greenhouse gasses since Al Gore decided he wanted attention and created political science on a false premise. Wisconsin's that cold right now, huh? I used to live in Dubuque right along the Wisconsin, Illinois border on the Iowa side, but am glad I'm missing that.

rackoons

Even Europe has been saying that global warming isn't happening. Al Gore has really screwed our society and the possibility of a good future, unless a new president who doesn't buy this crap actually refutes it. I pray we see that day.

theadjuster

I think we should let the sewers flow into the white house.. You are right. With the small margin of difference in the house, the massive phone calls representatives are getting, and those on the republican and democratic side who see this as a threat, I pray this stops in the Senate.

A little repeat going on there! It happens.

Eric

Glow-bull warming is the biggest hoax ever. It's all about selling cars, boats, lightbulbs and krypto-trashbags.

A petition was passed around a college trying to get rid of H20. It talked about how dangerous it was. The sad thing is 28 people actually signed it.

On May 28th it was 36 degrees where I live. We had 24 days of rain in June this year. These are facts. The debate is over, and the idiots lost.

I Want The Shirt

with a scoop neck! The powers that be "passed" this CapandTax bill without writing it, let alone reading it! Arrogance personified! I am so disgusted and am becoming virulently anti-government! Throw the bums out and bring on the term limits .... Good blog, Eric!

Best wishes for this weekend and forever in your upcoming marriage and life with your sweetie!

Mjsrj

I did not hear about that college with that petition! Wow! Simply amazing. Anyway there has been record colds all year, yet those who believe in global warming still defend it with everything they've got. Some know it's fake yet go with it for funds or political gain. Nothing like screwing our country for our own betterment.

dawndawn

Thanks. I heard this liberal call into a radio show defending healthcare and the global warming bill. He was being downright arrogant, condescending, and he thought that conservatives were the way he was acting! He goes on to say that if you don't believe in global warming, fine, but I'm helping save our future. This is the kind of insanity that is sweeping our nation. Thank God scientists here and around the world are stepping up to refute much of the crap gore has started.

Cap and Tax

The cap and tax is just another nail in the coffin of American capitalism in an effort to replace it with Liberal Progressive Socialism and create a more powerful ruling elite class who will do all the thinking for the peasants who man their plantation.

David

It seems like we're loosing it everyday. The Senate better show some balls and vote against this failure.
