Beam me to Planet Gore !

Just when you wonder how stupid our Rat Congress can get, it becomes even stupider.

[DieHard the Hunter]

Is there no end to this Climate Change nonsense!

It would have been safer and preferable for AlGore Inventor of the Internet(R) to be allowed to be POTUS. At least his madness would have been subjected to checks-and-balances. Unleashed, he has become a monster.

There’s not going to by anything left that we recognize by next summer if this keeps up.

[wastoute]

No big thing. There is not much left to celebrate on July 4th anymore.

...boy, I was wondering when they were going to crack down on arsonist and all that smoke they put into the atmosphere. Probably put an extra 5 years to their sentences, unless they plea bargain down to a misdemeanor using an open flame without government permission

The Democrats in our town were working hard to get the fireworks cancelled this year.

They started out by saying by getting the Democrats on the County Freeholder Board to cut the subsidy that the county has been provding for the past twenty years.

Then they argued that there was not enough money, since the town was furloughing some employees, and that any money the town had should be spent on reducing the scope of the furlough.

After the furlough, the Democrats argued that spending money on the fireworks was inappropriate because it would hurt the feelings of the employees who had been furloughed.

Then the Democrats on the County Freeholder Board announced that they were going to fund the fireworks at a nearby town, which has a more “diverse” population and lower incomes, because they wanted to be “inclusive”.

After that town failed to match the funds, causing that display to fall through, the county finally came up with the same subsidy as in years past. The county money was lined up and the town money was lined up.

Then the Democrats played their final two cards.

First they said that the town was going to have to spend a boatload of money to put in temporary provisions to make the fireworks “accessible” to the handicapped. This was shot down in short order.

An, finally, they started whining about CO2 and global warming. By this time, it was too late to stop things from going forward. I got the feeling that they were just establishing a place-holder, for when they try to kill the fireworks for next year.

I don’t know why they had it in for the fireworks display. It is a time-honored tradition that everybody in town enjoys. But they played every card in their hand trying to get them cancelled, and I don’t think they are going to give up.

The bullshit from GodGov gets deeper and deeper.

Bluenoses ALWAYS turn first to the fun things in life and attempt to ban them.

There will be high fines and long jail sentences for sparkler bootleggers.

climate change=change to communism.

Cap and Trade bills will only be passed to stop the colors Red, White, and Blue ,in traditional fireworks displays.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...some scientists are currently trying to develop “green,” environmentally friendly fireworks, which they hope will supplant traditional fireworks. “A new generation of ‘green’ fireworks is quietly making its way toward the sky,” Michael Bernstein of the American Chemical Society said

Sheer lunacy. I cannot believe ANY professional would even think about doing this work.

Wouldn't it be easier to just ban fireworks and provide government issue Mentos, Diet Pepsi and plastic bottles?

[ozark hilljilly]

“Green” fireworks???

So, I guess that would be some guy in a cherry-picker bucket, with a pair of flashlights, blinking them on and off?

“Ooooohhh! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!”

Jeez!

[SaraJohnson]

Anyone remember the watermelon’s environmental “racism?” That is how overpowering the watermelons can be with this power the House gave to them.
