EIB: The cap-and-trade travesty

JDW

DAILY WAVE

When people fear their government there is tyranny.

When government fears the people there is liberty.

A piece of legislation so potentially damaging with ramifications this big, but you'd never know it from the lack of coverage by the MSM...No doubt, the idea is to hopefully bury this story under all the wall-to-wall Michael Jackson coverage, in the hopes that people will be so distracted that they forget about the Cap and Trade vote...Hopefully, even if it passes the House (which it likely will), it will fail in the Senate.

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

I have no idea who at FNC decided to go full-time with Michael Jackson. If there are two people most of the FNC faithful cannot stand, it's Shep Smith and Whore-aldo and both were prominent last night as FNC covered Jackson and ignored cap and trade.

Rest assured that our liberal politicians won't feel the pain that the rest of us will feel if this bill becomes law. They will vote themselves a huge pay increase to overcome any tax increases this bill will cause for the rest of us.

And another thing, it would appear that the non-partisian CBO is in the tank for BHO. There is too great a disparity between the figures that the CBO reports and what independent researchers report as far as what this bill will cost "We the People".

Also, the increase in energy taxes is only the tip of the iceberg. The increased costs that businesses will see, will be passed onto the rest of us. So, some figures being put out place the cost to "We the People" at something over $6000 or higher. I'm sure that the majority of "We the People" have that kind of extra money laying around. I know I don't, Do you?

Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.

Also remember folks, that the way to SUPPORT THE TROOPS is to support their mission. Anyone who says that they support the troops but don't support their mission is lying about supporting the troops. And if you want to know, yes I do have a dog in the fight, he is a United States Marine.

  This cap and trade is the most uncaring assault on the lives of the lower incomes that can be imagined.  Here in my part of the midwest we are having some real warm and humid conditions.  In the course of my work today I was at the home a guy who had an unattached garage that contained his Lincoln Town Car, his Corvette and his huge black GMC SUV.  The garage had it's own air conditioner because heaven forbid that he would get into his car and it was 'stuffy'.  I also went to a home where the people are barely getting by with window fans.  Now who will really suffer with the rise in energy costs? 

As unfortunate as the deaths of Farah and MJ are, it was an egregeious insult to Fox viewers for them to pre-empt Special Report and plough full speed ahead into the Jackson story.  What the hell were they thinking?  How is it that Fox News, sitting their trying to go head to head w/the other networks (all of whom stuck w/their news programming), can justify turning over their news slot over to Geraldo and Shepp.  They know they're going to spend the night on the story, and still, they can't let it go for one hour w/intermittent updates?  This is typical Fox; they do this all the time when something happens, they decide it warrants full blown 24/7 coverage, and to hell with their news coverage, on comes the clowns.

Is anyone watching C-Span right now???  Another passage of important legislation without reading fiasco is playing out right before my eyes.  Apparently 300 pages were slipped into the bill last night and only 5 minutes ago the repubs found out that these 300 pages exist!!  The speaker is being a real hag about actually allowing them to find the pages to review... obstructionist and condescending a truly despicable piece of the american pie

Firing thousands of gold bullets at a phantasm.

BHO said he was going to cut taxes for 95% of the American people and being The One, it would simply be blasphemy to think he was lying.

(sarc)

  If the cost of heat gets too expensive us more rural folks can do what we did in the seventies, burn wood.  Everyone east of the Mississippi has access to lots of wood.  That ought to drive the greenies crazy... chop down the trees, more soot in the air, and pay no tax to the government.

Some Republicans have called the bill “the largest tax increase in American history,” but despite the enormous burden to taxpayers the three major networks failed to cover the bill the night before.

Most folks who frequent this web site probably have the quaint notion the news is supposed to inform the public.  And we also have the creepy concern that that notion is out of date.  From now on the operative definition of “The News Hour” for the alphabet networks should be “The Liberal Marketing Hour”

- Relying upon the Liberal Media for your information is like relying upon an embezzler to manage your portfolio.

... that the state Media is complicit in this conspiracy. Also. remember that 90% of the voting public is conspicuously illiterate and absorbed by the cult of personality. Witness the beatification of the pedophile Michael Jackson.

There is a refinery in my hometown of El Dorado AR. that has decided to shutdown if this becomes law. The information I have is a thousand jobs will be lost in a community of 22,00 people. The reson is the cost for them to operate. Their costs under the current bill would be "178 MILLION" dollars to stay operating. They cannot afford that. This colosure alone will dive up gas prices along 2 states by 10 to 20 cents a gallon to cover costs of having to ship the gas in.  The "OBAMA" will not feel the pain as he is provided everything on our dime. He will do a Clinton and "Feel you pain", while having fun jetting around the country to tell you how good a job he is doing with the mess he was left with.

                “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself” --- John Stuart Mill
