The EPA Report That Could Have Sunk the C(r)ap and Trade Bill — And the Suppression Thereof

Friday June 26, 2009 is a day that will live in infamy: It was the day that the United States government enacted its own Pearl Harbor and 9/11 on the its own people, a.k.a. the “C(r)ap and Trade bill.”

Back in 1994 NY Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangel (who was just as detestable then as he is now) said when the Republican-led Congress wanted tax relief: “It’s not ‘spic’ or ‘nigger’ anymore. They say, ‘Let’s cut taxes.’”

Now, of the Democrat-led Congress we can say, “It’s not ‘Let’s raise taxes’ anymore. It’s ‘Let’s pass a Cap and Trade bill.’”

If, God forbid, this bill passes in the Senate—and some are saying it won’t—it will be the death knell of the American republic. Its unattainable federally imposed regulations on energy and industry, as well as exhorbitant taxes on businesses and individual households, will strangle our nation to death as sure as a noose strangles a homosexual in Iran.

Then why did the House want the bill passed so badly? To control you, you moronic little sheep. To control the car you will drive; to control the electricity you use in your own house; and even to control, from a nameless, faceless bureaucrat’s office in Washington D.C., the decisions of local homeowners associations.

In the meantime, all my liberal-Democrat friends who for eight years bemoaned Bush and Cheney and Ashcroft and Gonzales and others “shredding” the Constitution (without nary a substantive example, of course) are curiously silent about this unprecedented federal oversight of the everyday actions of American individuals and the daily practices of business owners.

The ideological classes who demanded that government “stay out of the bedroom” are apparently more than happy to let government control the light switch and

Will the senate take this report in consideration along with all the negative support of this bill by millions of Americans in determining their voting against the bill?

No, they will pass the bill in the senate by a narrow margin.

Passing a bill without reading seems to be the norm now.

Wonder how many pages the senate will take on to the bill at the 11th hour prior to the vote?

Two inconvenient reports:

1) A suppressed and censored report from our own EPA exposes many problems with the theories and "consensus" of the populist (and now debunked) theory of global warming, and the true (and minimal) affect of human activity on the climate. The suppressed EPA report is linked here:

2) A report from the Chicago-based Heartland Institute summarized the Non-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) that attempts to use scientific and rational arguments to identify exactly what is going on in the climate and the true impact of human activity. The recently released NIPCC report is found here:

The cap and trade bill really has nothing to do with climate change. It is about power and control and big government.

Senator Inhofe was on Fox News this morning. He’s launching an investigation into this ‘suppressed’ report & says Cap & Trade was DOA in the Senate. I pray it’s true & I pray the enviros take a drubbing on GW ‘science.’

Could this bill promote nuclear energy? I know this bill is couched in language that should have caused any reasonable legislator to kill it, including:

• "renewable green energy" talk,
• "Cap and trade" which was actively promoted as an anti-coal legislation by Zero/Biden, and
• the junk science of global warming and carbon dioxide emissions being harmful or significant.

BUT... if the incentive is reducing carbon emissions, wouldn't that push utilities to buy nuclear, which is the only proven viable solution?

Is there anything in the bill that prevents nuclear from satisfying the carbon reduction requirements?

“all my liberal-Democrat friends...”

I may have neighbors, co-workers, even relatives, who are liberal-democracts, BUT they are NOT my friends.

For me, friends share values, character and ethics.

People (liberals) who support abortion on demand, high taxes, government control, illegal immigration, gun control, do not qualify as friends. I will usually by polite and not stir the pot, and they better not stir me up either.
