Can I ask a stupid question?
If the next president is a Republican, can he simply rescind these EPA rules which are being implemented for clean air, clean water, etc.??? The EPA rule which is going to result in shutting down power plants seems especially extreme. But in that it’s an EPA rule, a bureaucratic regulation, not a law passed by Congress, I wondered if the next president can simply get rid of it??
Of course a President Democrat and the EPA will simply push us farther down that road if a Democrat succeeds Obama.
How can these “do what we say or we will crush you” fines, created by an unelected bunch of zealot tyrants, not be a violation of the eighth amendment?
At this point I don’t know what good it will do, but this was the last straw, and I have just signed up here in PA as a full member of the Farm Bureau.
I bought farm property last year here and right now I am only taking hay off the tillable, but I will be damned if some scumbag from the EPA is going to waltz in here and tell me I can not pasture animals along the creek, or mow and clean ditches, or fill in low spots that breed disease carrying mosquitoes.
No. No Effing Way.
This war is about to go hot. I don’t care if it’s just me fighting it... but the tree of liberty is about to be nourished.
