Cap and trade has no more to do with the environment than Obamacare has to due with health insurance. These are grabs for power unlike the U.S. has ever seen perpetrated by a president, and when he’s done, there will be no institution, company, group or individual that will be able to resist the power of or will able to even criticize the federal government.

Only if they are afflicted with gas and need to let out an Obama.

Well, if we would just call Obama a SOCIALIST and not flinch from the term it would help.

That's when pirate radio and TV finally make it in America. They've been in Europe for 40 years.

Yep. The gubmint will be able to tell you what kind of energy to use and how much, what kind of car to drive, the design of your house, what treatments and medicines that you can have access to, what guns you can have, if any.

Did you see a psychiatrist after returning from a war, after a divorce or death of a loved one? We're you diagnosed with depression? Once your records are in the gov't database no more guns for you.

They are already brainwashing children in gov't schools. We are being sucked into a black hole.

Obama: When you win, you can annul the Constitution.

Democrats: What he said.

Republicans: I didn't know that.
