Did the EPA declare war on America?

Did the EPA declare war on America today?
If I understand what they announced today, the EPA just gave Congress an ultimatum.

Since when is it ok for a regulatory agency to threaten the body that created it, Congress and by extension the American People, with actions that they know will be harmful to the nation if the Congress doesn't get in line with the agencies, ideologically motivated (IMHO) top down control of all CO2 generating activities in the county, and pass Cap and Trade.

Congress can shut these wackos down with a one paragraph law. Will they? OR will they fold?

Just so we're clear: breathing generates CO2 as does almost anything else in a carbon based economy.

(This is similar but on a bigger scale than the current trend of law enforcement agencies controlling the law making process.)

Congress is slowly becoming irrelevant under the Chosen One's adminstration. Consitutional Law is just circumvented. Knowing that the Congress will have problems passing the Cap and Trade Bill because anyone with a functioning brain knows that it will destroy this country. So enter the EPA they don't need anything to be voted on they just say this is how it is and it is a done deal. The system of checks and balances is by-passed.

This is why the 2010 congressional election is critical.

we need to get rid of all of the rush and pass laws Congress, before they pass a law that said we can't get rid of them.

Very interesting, since the disclosure of the global warming issue in recent weeks. I understand, and support, the need to control pollution. However, to give the American people and Congress an ultimatum it sounds like something that happened a couple hundred years ago. We all know how that ended up, right Great Britain.

Wake Up America!! Vote these money grubbing SOB's out of office in 2010, 2012. We need true term limits.

Even if a law was written shutting them down, the chosen one would have to sign it. Do you really think he will do that, after his speech the other day??

I said this on another board, but it is just as true here: They are about to make the wrong person mad, and we will all be reading about it on the news.

The marxist are the problem. Just about all your places of higher learning preach it, and all your media is filled with it. Law schools are over run with it, and where does most all of the congress and senate come from? Not only does Washington need to be cleaned out, but many of these universities do too IMHO. :mad:

The Congress became irrelevant when the "Messiah" appointed the Czars to direct the day to day administration of each department within our government. I last heard there had been 27 Czars appointed to carry out the Obamanation’s wishes to circumvent the Congress. They are doing a pretty good job, nationalized the banks, 60% ownership of GM, control small business, approved a stimulus package for their friends at Acorn and on and on. It will not end until he is removed from office and that must happen very soon.

Baldy, I agree, starting with Harvard by cutting off their federal funds.

As old Glenn Beck says, we have about 9 months before total control shifts to the executive branch with a Congress stamp of approval. They have the votes in Congress to turn this country into Russia.

I think they will find a way to tank the elections in 2010, I am very concerned, but way to old to do much about it but whine!:frown:

Just so we're clear: breathing generates CO2 as does almost anything else in a carbon based economy.

Or a carbon-based planet and solar system.

The EPA - forced by the Supreme Court Justices that ruled against them in 2007 - is merely implementing a policy change mandated by other idiots in our judicial branch. Now, we have idiots in Congress and the White House who agree with the idiot judges. They're not going to do anything to stop the EPA...they agree with the absolute absurdity of calling carbon dioxide "pollution."

This is our government. They're either getting dumber or more intentionally destructive by the hour. I almost always assume the latter. At some point (hopefully soon), their time will run out.
