When a dog curls its lip and bares its teeth, you know what sort of dog you’re dealing with. One such dog curled its lip in Massachusetts recently. His name is David Ismay – possibly related to the Bruce Ismay of Titanic fame, but hold that thought.
This Ismay wants to “break the will” — his words – of people who rely on gasoline to power their cars and oil and natural gas to heat their homes, in order to “combat climate change.”
Of course, Massachusetts is also the state where Obamacare was born, under the governorship of another Republican . . . Mitt Romney.
“Sixty percent of our emissions come from residential heating and passenger vehicles,” Ismay told an audience gathered to hear him expostulate – using the royal “our” as collectivists reflexively do when they mean to say everyone except themselves, especially when it comes to having wills broken. He went on to say that these “emissions” – of the dread inert gas carbon dioxide that doesn’t create smog or cause breathing problems – “that need to be reduced” – the assertion is taken as established fact – “come from you, the person on your street, the senior on fixed income.”
No matter what it takes,no matter what it costs.
And he was in a position to do just that, being until just recently a government worker and having lots of armed government workers available to enforce whatever he decreed as the Undersecretary for Climate Change – yes, such an office exists – of the state of Massachusetts. A state nominally under the governorship of a Republican – Charlie Barker – it bears pointing out.

Out of control government is out of control.
Baker doesn’t even *pretend* to be a Republican anymore.
I’m sure Vermont will scoop him up - to join the rest of the socialist flatlanders hell bent on teaching us a lesson.
I still can’t believe we allowed our government to be taken over by these scumbags
Precisely.
Another way of describing it could be:
Smooth functioning communist government is meeting all strategic & tactical tyranny benchmarks just as they have planned for 100 years.
In my high school biology class, they taught us that CO2 was essential for life on Earth. God knows what they are teaching kids now.
You mean, “Charlie Parker”?
Yes,Charlie Parker....but I prefer “Tall Deval”!

Takes a certain kind of an at home, full-time dad, who raises a son who gets drunk on an airplane and molests a sleeping women.

Killing,raping and molesting women and girls is one of the top past times of the political elite here in the Gay State!
I think, any person who thinks this way, should put their actions where their mouths are, and go live in Saudi or Iraq or Cambodia for a few years. Go live it, then come back and explain why all those people in all those countries want very badly to come to America. Where there are cars, and electricity, and heat in the cold and a/c in the heat- and water.
Sometimes I watch the living in Alaska off the grid type programs. There’s no conservation when cutting trails. Or when trapping or hunting. It’s what you need and what you can get. Burning the equivalent of two or three growing trees a day per cabin isn’t ecologically sound either. And every one of them use gas-driven tools, be it trucks or chainsaws or boat motors. And while they may use a solar panel or two, they still need batteries and wire and regulators and doo-dads to make a meager amount of electric. If everything ‘modern’ that needs to be manufactured and available in ready supply, including parts, home insulation, roofing materials, water purification systems, even knives, bullets and bows and arrows - everything that ultimately depends on fossil-fuel-derived electricity to manufacture - was taken away from these folks, they couldn’t survive. Or, rather, they’d turn into maurauding bands of thieves, cannibals and slavers as they took what they needed from the weaker.
