“I am scared to death for our country”:energy CEO says Obama destroying low-cost energy with EPA
foxnews copy on therightscoop.com ^ | June 20, 2014

Posted on 06/20/2014 5:23:29 PM PDT by Whenifhow

Murray Energy CEO Robert Murray says he is scared to death for this country, for poor people, those who live on fixed incomes and for people who are retiring.

Murray says Obama is illegally using the EPA and the Clean Air Act to take over the US Electric Power Grid and in the process he’s destroying low-cost energy.

Murray points out that coal is only 4 cents per kilowatt-hour and Obama wants to replace it with renewable energy sources, wind and solar, that cost 22 cents per kilowatt-hour.

By 2030, according to Murray, we will be down from 40% coal-fired electricity to 14% coal-fired electricity.

To have supported Romney, the father of sodomite fake “marriage,” homosexualized government schools right down to the kindergarteners, permanent gun bans, socialized medicine, complete with $50 co-pay, and in fact now “free,” abortions, and a whole lot more destructive Leftist nonsense, would have violated my conscience.

Just exactly who do you think you are to demand that I violate my conscience?

“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers ‘just men who will rule in the fear of God.’ The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty. If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made not for the public good so much as for the selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.”

— Noah Webster

It’s your way of thinking that got us in this mess, and your way of way of thinking most certainly won’t get us out of it.

My stars. What a horrible photograph of America, her worst side. Great googly moogly, that is just ... a pathetic photograph.

Keep the faith, FRiends. They're the minority. There are more of us -- Americans who snort in disgust -- than there are of them. A lot more. It just doesn't look that way because the MSM and government-clamped education (very dangerous, that second one) inflate and distort the image they project of "America." But it is distorted badly. There are more of us, in real people on the ground.

That's why the Dems have to cheat.

Tom:

As an aside, I appreciate so much your hard work and what you have done to get the message out there.

Keep it up.

My argument here is that we must remove Obama and these Marxist.

If you have a plan to do that, let me know and I will not only give you my full support but will devote my life to seeing that you win.

He just now figured this out?

More likely, he just now got the courage to speak his mind. The Obama administration has cuddled up to certain businesses while letting others know "you've got a real fine P&L there; be too bad if something happened to it."

Now that the administration seems to be falling apart, Murray feels he can speak up.

We are living in a very dangerous time...

Maybe the just say what voters want to hear when all they really want to do is get rich and go to swell parties.

Or maybe they know the country is doomed anyway and are just enriching themselves as kind of prepping for the coming collapse.

It’s the “burn it down” conservative way...

Hopefully, they and all of their families are sleeping well... When and if IRAQ falls and oil goes to 150+ a barrel, I’m hoping the PAIN is felt by all...

Uh oh.

Your getting upset.

Perhaps an anger management class for you.

What I can’t wrap my brain around is why are all those democrats standing with [Obama]?

Simple.

Because they're communists. Like him.

Rooster Redux:

That works out no worse than electing Mitt Romney to destroy the nation AND the GOP while he is at it. If this nation simply MUST be destroyed, it will have to be destroyed by brand name Demonrats not Demonrats in GOP drag. If that means that Muffie's trust fund is devastated, oh well.... Too bad sooooo sad.

I proudly voted for Tom Hoefling and will again until the useless ruling class GOP-E gives it up.

If and when Mittens might win, only Mittens wins. When I lived in Connecticut, I voted for old-fashioned God and country Democrat Tom Dodd over Lowell Weicker and for Joe Lieberman over Weicker as well. I would do it again, early and often. Romney and his little love slaves can go straight to hell. I will not vote for my nation's enemies of whatever social class. Sorry about you.

Iraq fell because ‘no matter what’ voters elected RINOS that stood by and did not stop Obama from MAKING it fall. For a couple election cycles. Because our burn it down guys wanted us to win.

We sleep great thanks. You man not. I could see why.

I got news for you, Rooster. Romney was totally one hundred percent ON BOARD with the whole global warming hoax. If he was president, he'd be doing THE SAME THING using the Republican party to do it, perhaps in slower increments, and you would be wailing here that you didn't vote for that ... you voted against Obama!

We'd still have big problems. You aren't ready to start voting FOR yet. That's your problem.

And America's.

Dream on...

There is not ONE... let me say it again NOT ONE governor who doesn’t have the proverbial gov teat in their mouth...

There will be NO exercise of states rights. No state will tell them to go stuff it over gay marriage as it’s struck down almost daily by Federal judges...

If you have a plan to do that, let me know

Okay, here's the plan: Since "we" can't win without those of us who won't compromise, and those like you who will compromise, you go ahead and compromise and start voting for those of us who won't compromise. Then "we" will win, and we'll all be happy!

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."

-- Samuel Adams

You put him in office...he’s your boy.

That is what we would be saying to you, Rooster, if your guy won. Yes, YOUR GUY. If you voted for him, he's YOUR GUY. As he was forcing Obamacare, environmentalism, the gay agenda, and on-demand abortion and gun control using the Republican party to do it, we would be here saying:

You put him in office ... he's your boy. The DIFFERENCE being that WE would be telling the TRUTH. You VOTED FOR IT.

I'm not ready to start voting for?

On my ballot there was a check for Obama, Romney or a write-in.

What the eff are you talking about?

Obama is a traitor and anyone who abstained or voted write in helped elect Obama.

Romney makes me want to barf...but barfing is better than Obama.

What is wrong with you idiots. You helped elect Obama...and now you want to do it again.
