Coming to a Theater Near You... Cap and Tax - Guaranteed to Cost You Big Time!

While Ed Morrisey of Hot Air thinks Cap and Trade won't pass (I hope Ed Morrisey is right, but I doubt it...)
others are not so sure.  Doug Ross weighed in yesterday (Just when you think Democrats hit bottom: they plan on Cap-and Trade Energy Tax during...wait for it... the Lame-Duck session.)


Today Reaganite Republican brings us:

Inhofe: Obama Will Attempt to Ram-Through Cap-n-Tax... Utilizing All November's Lame-Duck Dems

Cap and Tax Will Pass

Mark my words, folks.  This admininstration doesn't care how it does things.  Remember how ObamaCare was passed??

I disagreed with Ed Morrisey's take on the situation and now Doug Ross has posted Just when you think Democrats hit bottom: they plan on Cap-and Trade Energy Tax during...wait for it... the Lame-Duck session.

Outrageous?  No - just business as usual.

I hope Ed Morrisey is right, but I doubt it...

While I certainly hope Ed Morrissey of Hot Air is right when he writes,  Cap-and-trade dead again?, I fear he is being way too optimistic.   This administration, including both the puppets and the puppet-masters,  have taken corruption and vile behavior to level we could have never imagined. 

I heard just a few snippets of Glenn Beck yesterday, but enough to get the general drift.  One of the commenters on  American Thinker summed it up nicely, and I thank him.

Soros invests in Petrobas and becomes largest shareholder.
Obama sends 2 Billion dollars (of OUR money) to Brazil's Petrobas for offshore drilling, not exploration, drilling!. (Why?)
There is a shortage of rigs and none available for the drilling of this new found reserve.
BP rig blows up (we still don't know the EXACT cause BTW).
Obama dithers and dithers.
Obama announces moratorium on 40+ rigs in Gulf of Mexico.
Two rigs now headed to Africa, more to S. America. 
Who do you bet is part of the "shareholders" with Soros?
It would be nice if someone actually practiced journalism in this country.
I will be contacting my Senators today to ask "why".
My Congressman is useless. source

  I'm just glad I have lots and lots of firewood.

Celebrating the 4th

This weekend we celebrate Independence Day, usually just called the 4th of July, to commemorate our independence from Great Britain.

I find it perverse that while we drink beer and watch fireworks, we have a president who is doing everything in his power to enslave us to a federal government in ways that are unconstitutional. And there are people out there who think this is a great idea!

Just for fun, ask 10 people under the age of 30 if they even know what we are celebrating on the 4th. I think you may be surprised at how many of our young people "educated" at our government run schools don't have a clue. It's just an excuse for a party.

Obama is not going to be satisfied until he has complete control of your schools, your health care, your money, and your life. Don't sit back and allow this to happen. Our forefathers fought for our independence and you have a responsibility to protect and guard the constitution of this great country.

While doing his best with one hand to confiscate, no - make that steal, the largest hunk of money ever in the history of this country by attempting to pass Cap and Trade, he is reaching around behind you with the other hand grabbing at your freedom to make your own health care decisions. And woe to those who don't buy into this garbage. Our benevolent government is going to fine you $1000.00. That is outrageous!



Cap and Trade: The Big Con

Masquerading as an instrument of environmental salvation, the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill will result in one of the largest seizures of wealth in human history. The legislation will wreak havoc on American manufacturing and industry, and coerce the conformity of an already economically squeezed populace. The bill is a transparent power grab, based on a fictional crisis-the left's ever-dependable threat of global warming. read the rest at American Thinker

"Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller." Obama, June 25, 2009

Ouch!

Let's sum up what those of us silly enough to waste our time watching the Obama infomercial really heard:

1. Cost: We're going to take money from one area and move it to another. So how is that going to pay for the estimated 1.6 trillion dollars needed?
2. Well, we're going to "tax rich people" which is anyone making over 25o K. hmmmm
3. Oh yes, we're not ruling out taxing health care benefits.
4. "If you like your doctor, we don't want you to have to change. Little different wording and not encouraging at all. Obama will "allow" you to keep your doctor. Ya think?
   
5. We're in a crisis and if we don't act now Humpty Dumpty will fall off the wall, Rahm Emmanuel will become a Catholic, and Obama will get rid of his TelePrompTer. I doubt it!
   
6. Speaking of TelePrompTer - did you notice how creepy his eyes looked as he scanned far right and far left to read his scripted statements?

Notably absent was the you will be mandated to have insurance or face tax penalties or other fines. Oh really?

I think we all need to keep in mind that federal employees, which includes members of congress, senators, and, oh gee whiz, the president, are exempt from this whole crappola plan. Now ask yourselves why!

Meantime, while we're distracted by this health care "veggie-matic" infomercial, Cap and Trade (Tax) is in the headlights and coming up for vote tomorrow.

The Wall Street Journal addresses this bill and warns what will happen to the budget of an average American household.

Jammie Wearing Fool has a nice summation of Cap and Trade, "Largest Tax Increase in World History", what it's going to cost you, and how it's going to change your life. This bill is being pushed by likes of Al Gore, who stands to make millions, and is based on junk science!

Email your representatives and senators and tell them NO! NO on Cap and Trade, NO on Card Check, NO on hijacking our health care, and No on more "stimulus" money for anyone and for any reason.

You might add that any bill that they ram through should also include anybody working for the government to be subjected to the same health care plan as the "little people."

Obama thinks Iran is having a healthy debate. Let's ask Neda how that's working for her.

Just this morning in his press conference, President Obama referred to the upcoming energy legislation that the "polluters" will pay for. NO THEY WON'T. This is "cap and trade" and you will pay for it when your energy bills escalate to all time highs.

Email received:

I suggest you copy this and snail mail it to your representative, senator, and each person on the Senate Finance committee. Those stamps will be a lot cheaper than what Washington is doing to us.

Email received:

The Senate Finance committee is in charge of the "comprehensive health care reform" program. Senator Kennedy, ill with a brain tumor is Chairman (he has been in the senate for FORTY FIVE years). Christopher Dodd, whose moral compass was lost sometime in the 1970's is Chairing the Committee while Kennedy is dying. Please write or call these people and tell them to STOP, think and listen. Thanks.

Dear Sirs:

During the Administration of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the United States government created the Great Society, a “progressive” socialist set of programs that wrecked the black middle class and brought us to the brink of financial disaster. What in God’s name do you all think you are doing? What program has the federal government ever funded and engineered that is a rousing success? The attempt to try another Kennedy-esque great social engineering is useless and will help to destroy our economy and culture.

You actually do have a choice, and you all could make the right one, and that is to QUIT spending our money, QUIT acting like we the people do not exist, QUIT with overbearing federal government programming. Please stop, think, listen and start to dismantle, not enhance losing social programs.

I doubt that one of you are listening, but I feel better this morning having sent this email. I am now going to email 50 people I know, who will email fifty people they know (you get my drift), and oppose each one of you with money and time in the next election if you continue down this path.

Thank you.
