“There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.”
- Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
And so, the radicals of the ’60′s in the Obama administration share Gonzo’s surreal sense of superiority. They know what is best for you and will force you into living their radical ideals, whether you like it or not. These people cut their teeth on the radical notion that our world was going to die because of man and overpopulation. Should we be surprised they want to place limits on mankind itself?
“These urgent dangers to our national and economic security are compounded by the long-term threat of climate change, which, if left unchecked, could result in violent conflict, terrible storms, shrinking coastlines, and irreversible catastrophe. These are the facts.”
- President Barack Obama, January 26, 2009
Congressional Democrats have pushed hard to force Cap-and-Trade legislation on the American people and President Obama is poised to sign away American sovereignty with his committment to the Copenhagen Treaty. But in the final lap of completing their race a little problem called Climate-Gate arose revealing that global warming data had been manipulated to achieve desired outcomes promoting the theory.
But why risk failure of Cap-and-Trade or ratification of the Treaty stopping their chances at ultimate control and wealth? They’ve worked too hard and long on the scheme to let it go down. They must have the money. They must have the power!
So in an effort to make an end-run around Congressional authorization, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to issue new findings declaring carbon dioxide (CO2) a “public danger, a trigger that could mean regulation.” There you have it…the entire premise of global warming in one sentence fragment. Regulation is the game; power, control and money are the winnings. David Roberts, at Grist, notes the potential impact of the EPA’s ruling:
“A certain method of regulating CO2 under the Clean Air Act would produce a situation in which the EPA has literally unlimited power over the US economy, virtually every building and business in the US is forced to apply for air pollution permits, and some pollutants are being mandated and prohibited simultaneously.”
Despite the most severe recession and unemployment the country has faced since the early 20th century, the Obama administration is prepared to drive the nation into the depths of economic despair in order to further the radical Left’s agenda. Well, if this doesn’t get businesses hiring, I don’t know what will.
The EPA could issue their ruling on CO2 as early as Monday. If you’re interested in voicing your opinion their email address is: GHG-Endangerment-Docket@epa.gov
