Carbon Fuel Burning = Climate Change.
Meat Eating = Meat Production = Increased Methane = Climate Change
It all works for them.
I dream of a Republican candidate who will promise to end these activist departments of the federal government. Not change their cultures but shut them down.
Maybe time to buy that hybrid gas/charcoal infrared grill at Sam's Club.
I use a propane grill and a smoker. What is the EPA gonna’ do...outlaw wood? They can go shove their regulations right up where Obama and the libtards do their thinking!
Looks like I have to start hoarding charcoal too. I’m going to need a bigger house!
100% of the prosecuted will be honkies.
Think they’ll do this at a SINGLE black or Mexican family reunion BBQ...?
NEVAR.
EPA=DOA
As mentioned in related threads, the major constitutional problems with the EPA are as follows.
First, consider that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues.
In fact, regardless that federal Democrats, RINOs, activist judges and indoctrinated attorneys will argue that if the Constitution doesn’t say that the feds can’t do something then they can do it, the Supreme Court has addressed that foolish idea too. Politically correct interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause (5.2) aside, the Court has clarified in broad terms that powers not delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues in this case, are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So with all due respect to the family and friend of the late President Nixon, he was wrong to sign the bill that established the EPA imo.
Next, even if the states had delegated such power to the feds, note that the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Section 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative / regulatory powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected federal bureaucrats like those running the EPA and many other so-called “independent federal regulatory agencies.”
So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not. And by delegating regulatory power to federal agencies like the EPA, especially powers that the feds don’t have in the first place, Congress is wrongly protecting the unpopular use of such powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.
The 17th Amendment has to go.
If the EPA is so concerned about backyard barbeques, they should do something about the yearly forest fires.
They won’t be satisfied until we are all living like Ebenezer Scrooge, sitting in a cold,dark room, eating lukewarm gruel.
yet the Forest Service burns tens of thousands of acres of timber a year in “controlled burns” which choke everyone for a hundred miles in all directions!
Good luck with that one. Summer is on the way. Can you say cookout? :-)
