White House taunts GOP on climate change: ‘I don’t believe they can stop us’
Washington Times ^ | November 17, 2014 | Ben Wolfgang

The White House on Monday essentially dared Republicans to try and stop President Obama’s climate-change agenda, with officials bragging that even after the GOP takes control of the Senate in January, there is nothing that can be done to stop a host of controversial new actions.

On a conference call with reporters, White House counselor John Podesta said the administration will move ahead on the issue despite Republican efforts to stand in the way. He even called out incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by name, saying the Kentucky Republican will not succeed in trying to slow executive action on global warming.

The Founding Fathers never envisioned a time when the population would actually be dumbed down to the point they would elect actual enemies of the nation to the presidency and the majority of the senate.

The citizens of the planet demand that the Obama administration cease and desist all efforts to cool planet Earth. This planet is currently in an interglacial period which historically is ending. We are returning to the ice age eventually. Any actions by Obama can and probably have already been catastrophic in accelerating the natural cooling period. Scientist are predicting a return to ice age conditions. The Obama administration and the GOPe have wasted over 10 years of ice age preparation and they have hampered attempts by the worlds population to prepare for returning ice age conditions. This will result in millions of lives lost due to starvation and exposure.

Ted Cruz should get out the white board and explain to the President at a press conference how laws are made.

I truly believe he will not understand it until the military turns completely to the Free American side and pushes tanks through the gates at the White House. He will whimper like a little girl.

We need to make the case that this green “science” has been cooked up using computer modeling (just like Jonathan Gruber “cooked up” the Obamacare guidelines with computer modeling and why it’s a total fraud and a disaster for the country).

We have one chance and one chance only to save the nation.

We must elect a conservative President in 2016 and the Republicans must hold onto the House and Senate. Replacing some RINOs with conservatives would be helpful, but it is not as essential as electing a conservative President.

We will then have a short window of two years to undo everything that the Obamanation has done, to deport 8 million illegal aliens, and to pack the courts with as many conservative judges as possible.

The media will scream bloody murder and we will likely lose control of the Senate and/or the House in 2018, so it is essential that the next President and Congress move quickly and decisively.

If we do not elect a conservative President in 2016 and the Republicans do not hold onto the House and Senate, then we are lost.

Yep. They should hold hearings and have dozens of scientist climate skeptics testify.

The White House may figure they can overwhelm the GOP on several fronts—climate change, illegal immigrant amnesty, other Presidential power grabs, while the nation is distracted with a flood of stories on unrelated topics...which could include widespread violence by Holder’s people (with covert encouragement from Obama and Holder).

The founders did however warn against political parties (factions) that might someday put the good of the party ahead of the good of the country.

“I believe the president will complete actions. It is a top priority of his and I don’t believe they can stop us,

Mr. Obama we want to fund your "Climate Change" agenda. Can you give us the M.I.T. ANALysis data first! There is a Climate Change Gruber out there somewhere - FIND HIM!

The reason Conservatives lose so many battles is they get thrown all over the place. Obamacare should be forever linked to GRUBER! Don't ever separate them from now on! With Climate Change we need to find the money trail and the hysterically laughing shyster that is stealing the public's money and make him the face of Climate Change! There has to be a "Gruber" out there on the Climate Change side of the house.

"When Barack Obama nominated John P. Holdren as his Science Adviser last December 20 [2008], the president-elect stated "promoting science isn’t just about providing resources" but "ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology." In nominating John Holdren, his words could scarcely have taken a more Orwellian ring

Some critics have noted Holdren's penchant for making apocalyptic predictions that never come to pass, and categorizing all criticism of his alarmist views as not only wrong but dangerous. What none has yet noted is that Holdren is a globalist who has endorsed "surrender of sovereignty" to "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a World Army and taxation regime, and enforce world population limits. He has castigated the United States as "the meanest of wealthy countries," written a justification of compulsory abortion for American women, advocated drastically lowering the U.S. standard of living, and left the door open to trying global warming "deniers" for crimes against humanity. Such is Barack Obama's idea of a clear-headed adviser on matters of scientific policy. ............" -- Obama's Biggest Radical

The Marxists in the Peoples House are just baiting Republicans to try too impeach or shut down the Gubermint.

Note, it was recently hired White House adviser, John Podesta who conveyed this threat. Here's a bit about John Podesta (BIG Hillary guy).

[Dec 2011]".......The Center for American Progress is not just any organization. Headed up by John Podesta, a co-chairman of Obama’s transition team and backed by a 38 million dollar annual budget, it is George Soros’ most ambitious attempt to turn his Shadow Party into a shadow government. CAP is the organization with the single greatest influence on the Obama White House and its foreign and domestic policy.

CAP is more than just another think tank; it’s a lever for shifting the Democratic Party further to the left, bought and paid for by George Soros and a roster of secret donors whose names are not made public by the secretive and powerful organization. Those who buy influence with it also get anonymity as part of the package.

But the Center is more than a rogue billionaire’s brand of progressivism turned into talking-point groupthink by Washington insiders. It is a link between the American left and the Muslim right, articulating the Islamist agenda as a vehicle for the foreign policy of the post-American left. It’s where Ali Gharib can run pieces whitewashing the Muslim Brotherhood while Zaid Jiliani attempts to justify the ambassador to Belgium’s comments denying the existence of Muslim anti-Semitism......."

The government by appointed board of regulators and NGOs got a big boost in our county when BP offered the pay the board and the cost of tying storm water ditches to a tidal area in exchange for a seat on the board and exclusion from the Stormwater district oversight and fees.

The Stormwater board was moving along quite well under the radar until one of the members pulled a Gruber. She was so proud of what they were doing and didn’t really understand the full import of their actions that she posted a link on the blog section of our local newspaper and I started asking questions.

The people on the storm water board were not the brightest people and were allowing themselves to be used by BP and the developers of a coal terminal in our county. The stupid woman on the board posted links to the minutes of a meeting between the coal terminal developers and the Puget Sound Partnership to transfer money from a fee in lieu of mitigation from Whatcom County to the control of the Puget Sound Partnership to be used on Environmental projects in other counties. They claimed that experience had shown that on sight mitigation on projects like a coal terminal, seldom worked.

I told the Republican in charge of the County a Council about the post and what was happening. He told me he would look into it and to print out the minutes and bring them to him. The Republicans were pushing FOR the coal terminal. When I went to print out the minutes, they had been deleted. The man who worked for the county in charge of the Stormwater board was let go, the BP seat on the advisory board was taken away and the funding for the the NGO, the Puget Sound a Partnership was withdrawn by governor. Nothing was ever admitted as far as the illegal actions.
