Town Hall ^ | 9/24/11 | Helen Whalen Cohen

Posted on 09/24/2011 9:26:48 PM PDT by Nachum

This article is a few days old, but it is worth a mention nonetheless. Susan Kraemer at CleanTechnica can barely contain her excitement at the prospect of environmental regulations. In an article titled "Obama's EPA Cues 130 Billion Race to Cut Pollution By 2015", she reports that the EPA will shut down 20 percent of coal plants through the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.

The EPA is completely out of control. It’s time to tear it down to the ground.

Stupid emperor. He must be defeated. We must rise up from the idiotic actions of this man. Actions designed to kill the coal industry. To raise energy prices. To relegate us to third world status. Controlling the means of production. . . He studied Marx well.

No one can rightly claim that Obama didn’t warn us of his position on coal or oil or any other available, efficient source of energy. He hates them all, wants to tax them all heavily and wants the price of all of them to triple or quadruple.

Poverty, thy name is America.

Congratulations to coal workers: your union dues that are going to You-Know-Who have meant nothing.
Side note: I hear Odrama's going to turn it all around next year... his motto for the coming election will be "Change and Hope".

read a while ago where the Chinese gov't shuttered a bunch of steel mills.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and dictates business activity like a duck, then it's a communist regime.

Wake up, America!

I don’t think we need to tear it down to the ground necessarily but I do think we should cut its budget back to 2007 levels (along with every other government agency). They have way too much budget right now and are looking for ways to justify it.

“No one can rightly claim that Obama didn’t warn us of his position...”

We thank you for your insight, Captain Obvious. Now, tell us something we didn’t already know BEFORE the man set foot into the Oval Office.

Another RINO or lib in the White House will continue this slide into hell.
Question is, is America smart enough to vote for real change?
