I don’t even know where to begin. It seems Nancy Pelosi “struck a deal” with Collin Peterson,(D-MN) chairman of the Agricultural Committee (WHY do we have an Agricultural Committee??), to get this behemoth passed. Apparently rural co-ops will benefit greatly. A rural co-op is another name for “electric company”.
This scam of a program, is nothing more than an enormous tax hike. Think of all of the things that are powered by electricity; here is my list, some will be obvious,others not so much:
- Homes.
- Businesses.
- Food Processing.
- Manufacturing-you thought government owned the car companies now, just wait.
- Refineries-not just petroleum mind you; sugar and metals to name two more.
- Gas Pumps-how did you think it got in there?
- Farming
These are just a few of the areas that I could think of off the top of my head. In reality, anything that’s manufactured, shipped, or grown will be slapped with this ridiculous tax, which you will not actually “see” on a receipt, as it will be buried in the details of life. And, let’s not forget that in January of 2008 then Senator Obama said that “Electricity Rates Would Necessarily Skyrocket” under his “Cap and Trade” plan.
This is nothing more that a giant power grab for the federal government; nothing more than a fascist takeover of our society. There will be nothing that the government won’t be involved in. Nothing. The bill is over 1200 PAGES long, they are adding anything and everything they can think of.
The battle cry is getting weary, you’re hearing the same things again and again:”Write and call your Senators”, “Write and call your Congressmen”. This is a great weapon, but it feels ineffective; they aren’t listening, they don’t care. The smell of blood is too great, they are like crazed animals; power and blood lust driving their decisions.
The audacity(maybe it’s just me, but that word has special meaning 
), of thinking that we can legislate and manage acts of God is beyond arrogant. The idea that cow flatulence is anything but NORMAL is crazy. The idea that we can control the climate is so blatantly idiotic that I feel like laughing hysterically; trouble is, it’s not really funny, and I would be locked away with the crazy people in the state hospital.
This stems from the Secular Humanist movement. “There is no God, only Man”; with this mentality, the enviromental wackos seem to believe that man is in charge of everything, and therefore can change everything. As a person of Faith, I reject this notion; I believe the vast majority of Americans do as well, because contrary to what the idiot in chief says, we ARE a nation of Judeo-Christian people, with Judeo-Christian values. We believe that a Higher Power IS in charge, and has not left the building.
There is no way that this legislation will do anything; not one thing for the environment, but it will be devastating to our economy, and our individual pocketbooks.
By all means call your representatives, but be prepared for the worst; I believe it’s going to get ugly-uglier than it already is.
