In the beginning was the Plan.

And then came the Assumptions.

And the Assumptions were without form.

And the Plan was without substance.

And darkness was upon the face of the Workers.

And they spoke amongst themselves, saying:
“It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh.”

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said:
“It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof.”

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying:
“It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
such that none may abide by it.”

And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying:
“It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.”

And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another:
“It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very powerful.”

And the Vice Presidents went unto the President, saying unto him:
“This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the
company, with powerful effects.”

And the President looked upon the Plan, and saw that it was good.

And the Plan became Policy.

This is how Shit happens.

While I agree with your description, I believe that baraq and his fellow travelers know what we know and want to execute the plan anyway.

The development of a Fascist State like Hitler had in 1930’s Germany, and what Obama almost has now in the nearly former USA, depends upon opposition leaders who refuse to lead the opposition, but continue to stay in power by support of their morally weak supporters.

The last attempt to oppose Obama failed when Boehner, Cantor, McConnell and McCain caved in to the stonewalling refusal to negotiate by Reid and Obama in late 2013 and early 2014.

Until effective voter pressure can be brought to bear on the Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate to replace the Republican Leadership in the House and Senate, Obama will continue to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” into the most powerful Fascist Empire that the World has ever known.

Will these opposition Congressmen and women act before the November 2014 Election, or will they continue to wait to lose again, as usual, to the Left Wing, low information Voter in November, 2014?

BTW, money and reason are wasted on multimillionaire career politicians as they cannot be bought or convinced - - - they are the hardened professional criminal politicians that we have, for decades, elected and tolerated, gratefully for the “free” stuff that they have bought our votes with.

Obama is just doing as he was raised up to do, and will never change.

Our opposition Republican Leaders are doing everything that they can to make sure Obama is successful, and they will never change.

The change must come from opposition House Members and Senators in “both” parties, before low-information voters have made up their minds about whether or not to continue the status quo.

The Summer of 2014 is the last chance for We, the People to force our House and Senate Members to change their leadership before Labor Day, 2014, when early voting begins?

Spot on and stomach churning to look at what liberty has been stolen over a very short period of time. The stars came together and the Left ran with it. Every assassin was a boon and they certainly seemed crazy and Leftist.

The ENTIRE “Global Warming” - “Climate Change” - “The Sky is Falling”- call it what you will - “movement” - is a figment of the imagination some overzealous men and women who saw a way to lie, cheat and steal their way to riches and power at the expense of the rest of the world.

ASIDE FROM OBAMA’S ELECTION IN 2008 AND 2012, THIS IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD/SCAM EVER PERPETUATED ON MANKIND!

A pox on all their houses, and may they rot in the most awful prison we can pitch their sorry asses into!

Has anyone considered the savings, not only in dollars, but paper consumed, carbon emissions, electricity and heating fuel usage, if the EPA was simply shut down?

Close the doors and send them home. It's good for the planet.

The most favored companies (like ones that donate to democrats) will get subsidies-like the credit to buy an electric car or solar panels.

‘Evil’ coal/oil will get penalties and carbon taxes.

That’s what government calls ‘leveling the playing field’.

Neither Taxing Nor Rationing CO2 Survives Cost Vs. Benefit Analysis

http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=329610775933844

The most important players on the greenhouse stage are water vapor and clouds [clouds of course aren’t gas, but high level ones do act to trap heat from escaping, while low-lying cumulus clouds tend to reflect sunlight and thereby help cool the planet -etl]. Carbon dioxide has been increased to about 0.038% of the atmosphere (possibly from about 0.028% pre-Industrial Revolution) while water in its various forms ranges from 0% to 4% of the atmosphere and its properties vary by what form it is in and even at what altitude it is found in the atmosphere.

In simple terms the bulk of Earth’s greenhouse effect is due to water vapor by virtue of its abundance. Water accounts for about 90% of the Earth’s greenhouse effect — perhaps 70% is due to water vapor and about 20% due to clouds (mostly water droplets), some estimates put water as high as 95% of Earth’s total tropospheric greenhouse effect (e.g., Freidenreich and Ramaswamy, ‘Solar Radiation Absorption by Carbon Dioxide, Overlap with Water, and a Parameterization for General Circulation Models,’ Journal of Geophysical Research 98 (1993):7255-7264).

The remaining portion comes from carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, ozone and miscellaneous other ‘minor greenhouse gases.’ As an example of the relative importance of water it should be noted that changes in the relative humidity on the order of 1.3-4% are equivalent to the effect of doubling CO2.
