The indoctrination continues:

Sierra Rayne, American Thinker - Nov 30, 2014: 'No one's safe': Climate hysteria in Flagstaff "Back in October 2012, Grist published an article entitled “Flagstaff sustainability chief Nicole Woodman keeps a cool head as temperatures rise.” Not sure what is meant by the present-tense use of “as temperatures rise” when we talk about Flagstaff, Arizona. The average annual temperature in this area has no significant trend for three decades and counting.

But this is the claim that caught my attention in Grist's question-and-answer format with the sustainability chief:....."

<>The Congressional Review Act, passed in the 1990s . . . Shortly after a rule is made final, lawmakers can quickly stop its implementation.<>

How pathetic. A law to stop a law we didn't consent to.

For Article V opponents, name the amendment that repealed Article I Section 1.

The problem is that anybody but Congress gets to make law. They may have passed the ball with the courts approval but the Constitution was not amended to allow that. Since this has been SOP for the last 70 years only a real amendment can stop this. Since Congress is quite happy with the status quo only Article V is going to work.

As for the few laws (compared to regs from the exec branch) that congress passes, few are read and understood by members before they vote.

Whatever the creature is, it isn’t republican government.

EPA_____ nuke it from orbit its the only way to be sure. America is so so clean compared to 30-40 years ago when we had a lot more polluting industry here...that’s all in Asia now. The young ones are missing this comparison so believe the Obama/Democrat lies that America is great need of being cleaned up and that our air is polluted.

This ignorance is how the Dems are able to get traction on BS global warming. In an ideal world the EPA would be eliminated. Their mission is done as far as making America a cleaner place.

EPA was started by Nixon. They now employ 15000 trough feeders. I’ll bet the EPA was no more than two hundred employees in its first five years. Today’s EPA is the result of the worst kind of greedy bureaucratic empire building

All this is being done to put the breaks on the U.S. economy, our economic and military superpower status - to level the playing field - inorder to speed up a global economy/identity and governance.

I was just checking out how this hornets nest got created. I remember , from public school, the evil Robber Barons of the Railroads. (At least this is how they were depicted). That was the propaganda load used to pass a "Commerce Act" that first allowed nameless faceless bureaucrats to rule over us.The Supreme court ruled in favor of the railroads 15 out of 16 times.The important thing is that the Statists got the camels nose under the tent. The next phase of the cancer was a way to feed it. That is what the 16th amendment did. The 17th made sure the States would have much less power to stop it.

In an ideal world Congress could NEVER delegate to ANYBODY the power to create law. In our system , the way it was intended, the states take action on the tiny details.

The EPA is a jobs program for eco-fanatics and liberals with a heavy dose of affirmative action. If they don’t come up with ever more draconian regulations then they are out of a job...at least theoretically.

Ir really helps to understand the modern Federal Gov’t as being 60% a jobs program for leftists, so all kinds of Federale trough feeders have to look busy and useful.

EXAMPLE__ The Department of Education employs 600 people in its civil rights division. Thats an amazingly high number. Those jobs go 100% to affirmative action babies and liberals

By and large Congress likes it this way so the Congress critters have more time to meet with their real constituents...the lobbyists. Plus more time for Congress critters and his wife to make the social scene.

IOW Congress has abdicated rules/regulations making power to the Federale bureaucracy.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Great minds think alike.....and I’ve long said the biggest “cancer” (yes, the term I used - sometimes I say malignancy) threatening us is the bureau - where the unnamed, unaccountable, unknown cubicle dwellers that we pay for destroy us cut by cut.

In truth, much of the regulating and rule writing is done by EPA contractors as directed

The government has no skin in the energy game, so they should just STFU.
