“Nearly 28,000 people died in Britain last winter, most of them pensioners who could not afford adequate heat.”

That is ubelieveable.

Their goal is to end the hydrocarbon and nuclear era in America – and force us to convert to “renewable” energy.

Hello. Agriculture is a hydrocarbon intensive industry.

So the next step will be to starve.

All this to implement a climate management policy which no one can know is beneficial or harmful in the long term. Like no one can accurately predict the cloud cover in Central Park New York at noon on July 4th.

Arrogance

In Cobb County, Georgia, hundreds shivered outside to apply for heating assistance from a welfare agency that may not have enough money for every family that needs help.

Would these same poor shivering individuals wait outside in a line for a job?

Doubtful.

These newly elcted Republicans/Teapartiers/Conservatives had better develope a way of dealing with the adolescent, left-wing, revolutionary psychotics in the Democrat Party.

If they don’t, and things remain stable, they will also booted out of office. If things turn ugly, and that’s what the left wants, there will be hell to pay.

The bottom line is, please do NOT compromise with revolutionary psychotics.

IMHO

Seeing that these agencies legally can not make policy or laws. Why would any state go along with what they are now going to demand?

Time to pull the rug out from under these agencies. Defund or drastically reduce their budgets, time to starve the beast. Let’s start with the EPA, then move on to the FCC, NPR, PBS, PPH, TSA, DHS oh so many others.

Heating assistance programs are also available to low income families.

You mean, like California?

This is their plan to destroy the USA. Find the perpetrators and who is covering the truth up.

Ah, but the Greens are thrilled!

Less”carbon footprints”.

It’s sick, isn’t it?

That is unbelieveable.

It's reasonable enough that 28,000 people died during a 3-4 month period, and that the majority who died were old. It's not believeable that many of the deaths were related to inadequate heat.

The Stockpile Song

Take the flag down from the place
where it led the human race.
Run up U.N. white and blue.
That’s what your “leaders” want to do.
They don’t seem to understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.

Public schools were first to go.
They’re run by leftists as you know.
So school your children safe at home
far from the propaganda zone.
For they don’t want to understand
we are a family loving band.
So spread the word around the land
and stockpile knowledge while you can.

Stage and screen and on T.V.
they’re mocking God in all we see.
They may close your church some day
but they can’t stop us when we pray.
For they refuse to understand
we are a Jesus loving band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile Bibles while you can.

Somewhere there near your hometown
professor’s robe or judge’s gown,
there is a leftist who must go.
So lock and load and let them know.
For time will come they’ll understand
we are a patriotic band.
So spread the word across the land
and stockpile weapons while you can.
.

It’s believable. Remember, that’s 28,000 people the British government don’t have to care for anymore. It’s 28,000 fewer people to stand in the way of Muslimizing Britain. It’s what the Socialists want to happen, and it’s coming here soon.

Meanwhile the government hands out money hand over FIST towards Africa of all places. I really have no idea how crammed Hell is going to be with the souls of these politicians.
