“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.

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?

I’m getting cold just thinking about this...I better throw another log on the fire...

Wonder what Congress would do if thousands of citizens did an auto convoy on the Capitol like the truckers in the 1970’s?

I'm out.

Yes, one side wants to implement the carbon credit scam. But both sides want continuing tax credits welfare for unneeded systems for the wealthy (grid-tied, suburban), and to regulate against home-built wind turbines and solar heating systems (which I am building, being way off of the grid, ineligible for government funding, and according to the effeminate, government-back status quo, unlicensed, un-pedigreed and unauthorized to build...or even to live).

BTW, I’m over 50, and the other day, I plugged (fixed) a flat tire out in the open, in the dark, over 9,000 feet, when it was -17 F with a 40 mph wind. ...a bent fence staple, probably dropped on the road by a bipartisan, formerly government-employed NIMBY, HOA hag. Retire early, stay in the house all winter, die sooner.

“manmade global warming" - You can request thousands of free periodicals and information packages from various government offices. Receive stacks of them delivered to your door. Chuck them into your fireplace for your free heat.

Where I live, they frequently have no-burn days. However, if the fireplace is your sole source of heat you're exempted. My bad neighbor does that, claims a broken furnace for the last 20 years (cheapskate), and burns trash in his fireplace.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson claims these actions are needed to ensure “environmental justice” for poor and minority families threatened by “manmade global warming.” Meanwhile, the United States and entire Northern Hemisphere are enduring yet another nasty winter, marked by early snow storms and record cold temperatures. Some scientists say Earth could be entering another prolonged period of cooler temperatures.

I want to see Lisa Jackson in front of congress, answering questions on this. And I want to see her soon.

The number one question for 2011 is this:

Is the Republican House a house of warriors or a house of wimps?

"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39

"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322

"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23

"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40

That the Obama Administration can view those who might take a stand on stopping the madness of debt and deficit as "playing chicken" reveals the shallowness of their intellect and their total disregard of human liberty. Their counterfeit vision of a Marxian Utopia is the same claim to "doing good" that all tyrants have utilized to enslave citizens. Hear John Adams on that subject:

John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, February 2, 1816:

"Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God service, when it is violating all His laws. Our passions, ambition, avarice, love, resentment, etc., possess so much metaphysical subtlety, and so much overpowering eloquence, that they insinuate themselves into the understanding and the conscience, and convert both to their party."

[prophetic]

Moreover, most of Britain’s older coal-fired and nuclear power plants are scheduled to be shut down, with almost nothing to replace them, even as electricity demand rises. That will increase the danger of widespread blackouts, said the Daily Mail, and cause hundreds of thousands UK jobs to be outsourced to countries where energy costs are much lower, and air pollution and carbon dioxide emission standards far less stringent. That will hardly improve England’s economy or global environmental quality.

Every country's leaders SHOULD have their citizens health, security, prosperity & welfare as their main priorities. However most of them including our own OBUMMER has their radical agendas first and everything else is at the bottom of the list even if it means killing off the elderly, jobs and the economy in doing so - unless those ARE also his desired goals as well!!
