Inhofe delivers Senate floor takedown of military 'green' agenda
Human Events ^ | May 18, 2012 | Hope Hodge

The Obama administration is determined to gut the U.S. military in order to fund a far-left environmental agenda, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said during an extended address on the Senate floor this week.

Inhofe spoke to Human Events last week about his concern that U.S. military leaders had proposed spending billions on green energy measures and expensive biofuels while implementing slashing cuts on equipment and key functions, and promised to bring attention to the Defense Department’s promotion of the president’s liberal goals.

"...DoD had to spend $300 million for energy efficiency projects in addition to $3.7 billion in stimulus funds marked for energy saving measures at military installations, and that the department has spent at least $4 billion on global warming and energy initiatives."

So outrageous!

What else can you expect when you have a Communist enemy of America in the office of Defense Secretary?

Obama sure knows how to pick them. A Death Queen as Health Secretary. A gay pederast as Safe Schools Czar. A Commie traitor as SecDef. And the list goes on.

Thjey spend untold billions on chasing LEED Silver and Gold ratings which do very little overall. They push for expensive solar arrays, geothermal wells and recycling programs that run the cost up with very little tangible benefit.

They have their marching orders and they are by golly gonna do it.

Our money is being wasted on paper “efficiencies” that will never be realized.

“Green Energy, hmmmmmmmmm - - - - - - ? Yeah! I saw some yesterday! There it was just basking in the Sun nice and tidy on a green carpet of Bermuda Grass.

I heard a repeated deep noise, turned around and more handy-sized dull green energy packets were falling on the green pasture!

By carefully walking around other drying packets of green energy I found one that had dried out enough to be shipped by air to 1600 Plantation Avenue, in the District of Corruption.

If any of y’all want to send Obama some of these green energy packets from a pasture near you, just make sure that all the water is out of these green energy packets, so that the TSA screeners at the airports will approve and then ship your packets by fossil fueled Jet planes.

The nice thing about these magnificent meadow muffins of green energy is that they last a lifetime if you don’t get them wet.

At last we have an unlimited source of storable green energy that will forever free us from foreign dependency on what will make Obamanation be the marvel intended by it’s Founding Foreigner, the Obamanator himself: Michelle Obama’s Husband, (as of this writing).

Yep, all ya gotta do is add water! Well, be careful to not let them hit a fan, or a fan of green energy.

BTW, I changed my mind: the last part of the last idea is probably a good idea - - - .”
