So it comes to this.
When I started blogging two years ago, global warming was all the rage. I thought it was crap then, and I know it's crap now. Global mean temperatures have been dropping or leveling off for the last decade. The list of global warming skeptics (or as I like to call them "realists") have been growing rapidly. Even the EPA is having trouble suppressing the actual science of anthropogenic global warming.
So you'll forgive me for being more then a little skeptical about the recent passage in the House of the new "cap and tax" scheme to reduce our CO2 emissions and do our part to stop global warming. To put a fine point on it, this "plan" is nothing more than a power and wealth grab.
But here is my favorite part...
Some time ago we got this promise...
I'm going to forego the usual rant about the passage of the "stimulus" bill that was 1500 pages long and was only available 10 hours prior to the vote on it. That's old news. And as we know, things that are old are unimportant (like the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights). So instead, I'll rant on new news, like this..
The upshot of it all? Here we have another bill that was not read by the House of Representatives before it was voted on.
And again, the best that the acting speaker can come up with is "The gentleman is not asking a parliamentary question." and "The chair is not responsible for disseminating these documents." It's enough to make you want to scream. They're trying to pass a bill that is unnecessary at best and un-American at worst and they can't even read the bill, let alone finish WRITING the damn thing, before they foist it upon us poor peons.
These arrogant schlemiels.
Is this what all you Obamatons voted for? Is this the America you wanted? You wanted a country that has a bunch of little dictators running around? You wanted your needs and rights to be subservient to your representatives needs and wants?
Make no mistake, is always has been and always will be about money. It's about business figuring out that it can get government to take out the competition. It's about taking your rights and money giving them to someone else. This isn't about you, your kids, your health, or your future. These people do not care about you.
They only care about your money. They care about taking it and giving it to someone else, to curry favor and win elections.
Is that the Promise you voted for?
