Obama uses executive order in sweeping takeover of nation's climate change policies (!!!)
Fox News ^ | 11/1/2013 | Perry Chiaramonte

Snip: Through the stroke of a pen, President Obama on Friday used his executive powers to elevate and take control of climate change policies in an attempt to streamline sustainability initiatives – and potentially skirt legislative oversight and push a federal agenda on states. The executive order establishes a task force of state and local officials to advise the administration on how to respond to severe storms, wildfires, droughts and other potential impacts of climate change. The task force includes governors of seven states — all Democrats — and the Republican governor of Guam, a U.S. territory. Fourteen mayors and two other local leaders also will serve on the task force. All but three of those appointed are Democrats. The task force will look at federal money spent on roads, bridges, flood control and other projects. It ultimately will recommend how structures can be made more resilient to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels and warming temperatures. “We're going to need to get prepared. And that’s why this plan will also protect critical sectors of our economy and prepare the United States for the impacts of climate change that we cannot avoid,” Obama said last June, when he first launched a Climate Action Plan.

LOL. Thanks to your specificity, I’ll NEVER get that image off my brain.

<< It’s a bailout program disguised as climate change. It’s a CCC for bankrupt Dem-run states without passing a National Recovery Act. >>

I think you nailed it. Why ask Congress for bailouts when you can generate your own?

[Swoosh!] “Stroke of the pen; law of the land. Kinda cool!”

He wants to declare “global warming” a fact with the stroke of his pen. The American people will agree too.

He probably got pre-clearance from the Rand Paul- and Ann Coulter-endorsed Mitch McC.

It’s hard to see Darrell Issa bringing anyone to justice.

Even many of those who don’t think he is a “god” would like for him to be.

Also consider that what they are trying to control is a phantom, something that has a value of zero point zero. The percentage of CO2 in the earths atmosphere is zero point zero. A million years ago it was zero point zero and a million years from now it will be zero point zero unless we get smashed with a 100 mile wide meteor. It amazes me how nobody ever talks about that. The mass of the earths atmosphere is 5000 trillion metric tons which might as well be infinity when it comes to man. We can no more change the atmpospheric percentage by any large degree than we can move the moon or dry up the oceans. It's absolutely ludicrous. A good comparison I read once was try to imagine putting a drop of red dye in the ocean. Liberals would then say all the oceans of the world should now be bright red. Well that's what they are trying to convince people of when it comes to man made global warming. They are trying to convince people that a mere drop can affect something akin to infinity. It is absolutely beyond ludicrous.

Excellent!

If you like your Oval Office, you will be able to keep your Oval Office. Period.

If you like your nation, you will be able to keep your nation. Period.

No one will take them away. No matter what.

I think we need to MOCK this new “Commission” every chance we get!

Why don’t we call it “The Wonderland Commission”

If we call Obama the “Tricky Cat”,

Then we can call every one of the “Commissioners” a “Mad Hatter” or a “Tweedle-dumb”.

This is something that WE THE PEOPLE can DO RIGHT NOW.

I am not even sure if the hardcore Truthers/anti-NWO folk like Ron or Rand Paul. They see signs and clues in everything. They have a photo of Ron Paul making the ‘NWO handsign’. *eyeroll*

The group is a rather odd one, in my opinion. http://nwothesis.blogspot.com/2010/02/ron-paul-illuminati-hand-signs-and.html

Screwed that up. I thought your post was responding to a post I just made on the LAX shooter thread. I wasn’t paying attention...oops. Sorry about that y’all.

In the old Communist Police State of the USSR, their One Party “Congress” was just a rubber stamp organization for their “Executive” branch.

In the USSA, their “Democratic” Party-controlled Senate and Dem/RINO-controlled Congress is just a rubber stamp organization for the “Executive” branch.

Anyone see any simularities?

No?
