They fear the comeback of a robust and prosperous America once industry gets the environmental shackles off. Not what these lefties want. They won’t be able to control the people as before.
Nothing like the author fitting their article with some humor!
I think the country has more to fear from eco-nazis chipping away at our liberties and our economic growth than from exercising common sense in our stewardship of the planet.
Just scarmongering to drum up contributions(the NRA does it all the time). As if 0-Tard would sign any legislation that would do ANYTHING weakening over zealous envirwhacko rules or regulations.
Poppycock, they should be concerned about a coming Conservative President who enforces his executive authority over the EPA and stops the new found regulatory authority found during Obama years.
Insane, unrealistic regulations are behind America’s loss of jobs to other countries. Regulators passed over beneficial compromises in favor of environmental absolutism. A fish known as the snail darter destroyed America’s breeder reactor. If it hadn’t been the snail darter they’d have found a butterfly or moth they’d claim would be destroyed by the project. On that score, Bill Bryson, author of “A short history of nearly everything,” said, of all the things that have ever lived, most, in fact, 99.99% are now dead.” (snip) “Paradoxically, extinction is the motor of biological advancement.” (He goes on to give lip service to it’s-only-good-if-man-is-not-involved.) But we are a part of the ecosystem and perhaps not everything can be kept alive. Last I read, the spotted owl, for which America’s timber industry was summarily sacrificed, is being destroyed by a different kind of owl. To prevent it the government is now hunting the other owl, possibly to extinction. Where do we stop?
Precisely, and they’ve already got a fair start in crippling our economy.
I strongly doubt that there would be a wholesale reversal of environmental regulation even if republicans got the senate, the house and the WH.
No he wouldn’t sign any bills limiting the EPA or the enviros but he and the EPA would be limited somewhat without Dem control of either House.
Does your comment mean that you consider McConnell no different than Reid and Obama when it comes to environmental policy? Do you think that a Republican held Senate will dial back or block some of the environmental excesses that we have seen over the past 5 and a half years?
The Enviro Wackos are a small minority of even the Democrat Party and they are practically nonexistent in the Republican Party. Yet they act in collusion with the EPA to advance a radical agenda enabled by Democrat driven legislation and with the full support of a profoundly unpopular President. The shift of power in the Senate to Republicans will stop many of these excesses and can possibly reverse others. It’s called a significant different to the status quo.
Exactly right, plus the spotted owl fiasco basically shut down the timber industry in the NW and the whole program was an enviro sham.
I don’t think the Greenies have a lot to fear. These Gopes are conservative in that they will conserve assiduously what is already in place. Obamacare isn’t going anywhere and the EPA will not be weakened.The best we can expect is for the Republicans to say, “We just have to add more regulation to make things fairer.”
Short of the votes necessary to override a veto, we’ll only have more of the same. Gridlock.
...Which isn’t necessary a bad thing.
A government in a political stalemate that can make no laws, can do no harm! I’m a FIRM BELIEVER in the saying: “A government that governs least, governs best.”(or something to that affect)
Actually, I’m all for voting ‘R’ where the GOP-Tp primary was stolen by the GOP-e... so that includes Cochran; and I’ll throw McConnell in that mix. I view the necessity of an R Sinate more vital than the evil of GOP-e.
I just get a hearty laugh, thinking of McConnell as a staunch opponent of Ø in any department.
Just wait until you see the environmental regulations they put into effect, if the Republicans do not take the Senate.
Agreed, plus there are possibilities of Dem help from the ones in energy states.
Defund them all, including the entire EPA-nazi organization!
