The cultist EU is about to impose cap-and-trade on U.S. airlines. Our president will approve, instead of declaring Europe a no fly zone.
Every Europe-bound U.S. airliner is about to be hijacked. No, not by box cutter-wielding Saudis or squads of Nigerian explosive underwear bombers. This attack is mounted by a bunch of euro-grifters who are about to impose the European Union's "cap and trade" global warming tax on every flight landing in the EU.

Consider, please, the brazenness of the Euro "Algore Akbar" cultists. Even if we accepted the nonsensical theory of man-made global warming, the imposition of the EU cap and trade scheme on U.S. airlines would be impermissible. Perhaps they can impose another tax -- call it what you will, but this is all the cap and trade scheme is -- if they craft it within proper limitations. But limitations are not for the Algore Akbar! cult.
And even that is not the worst of it. The emissions included in the amount regulated, taxed, and traded will not just be those flowing from engine exhausts in European skies. The regulated/taxed/traded emissions of, for example, a Los Angeles to London flight will be the entire amount from takeoff to landing despite the inconvenient truth that about 99% of the flight occurs over U.S. territory and the Atlantic.

(India is also fighting the EU airline cap and trade law, and will achieve no better result.)

You, dear reader, already know the answer. It is because President Obama doesn't object to the Europeans doing indirectly what he can't do directly. Our president picks and chooses the laws he likes, and his ever-willing Attorney General agreeably declines to enforce those that Obama disdains.

He hates this nation and shows his reverence for our flag by giving it a crotch salute!
If I wasn’t getting on the freeway right now, I’d post a picture of the “Holy Goran”.
It’s on Google Images.
I wonder what the gutless leaders at ALPA and the Allied Pilots Assn. will have to say about this? After all, they sent the Dumbocrats and Obama big cash donations.
“The EU’s financial meltdown and the failure of the euro currency have reached the stage of inevitability. Rumors abound that Germany — the most productive and richest economy in Europe — has begun printing Deutschmarks secretly in anticipation of the euro’s failure.”
“Judge Bork memorably wrote a few years ago, there’s no such thing. International law — except for the law of war, which was used in earlier times to punish war criminals — is just international politics written down.”
There’s a parallel here. Europe is dead, and the U.S. is on the ropes. One hopes that Germany succeeds in not going down the rat hole with the rest of Europe. And let’s remember Bork’s words, and keep an eye on the voting machines. Screw Brussels, and screw Obama.
