Do you remember Cap and Trade’s unceremonious defeat in the Senate during the summer and fall of 2010? That was the same time that Obamacare was also hogging up center stage in this malevolent fundamental changing of our nation. One piece of crap legislative effort failed and the other succeeded. Just to refresh you memory, and because I like highlighting pathological liars, here’s Joe Manchin (D) Liarville, during his campaign to become a U.S. Senator representing the State of West Virginia, promising to put an end to both, while also pledging to defend the Second Amendment and stop run away government spending. (I do so love that special breed of Democrat who promises to be fiscally responsible. They never are, once elected, and worse yet, they are never held to account. Manchin for instance has voted in lock step with his party every step of the way, for every spending increase, to remove America’s Second Amendment Rights, to keep Obamacare and keep it funded, and has done nothing to stop this President’s Executive Fiat strategy which usurped the authority of the Legislative Branch in order to inflict Cap and Trade on us anyhow.)
As you may have guessed, our first Halloween Zombie this year is the Cap and Trade. This honor has been bestowed due to the undead way in which this economy killing idea was able to be implemented despite being killed by the Senate during the early fall of 2010. So, here we sit, Nine painful months into the second term of the Zero, and everything that many of us were screaming would be the consequences for electing this man child to be our President has indeed been proven correct. As Americans continue to act surprised, failing to connect Barack Obama to the consequences of his agenda, even though the man himself told us what he would be up to, I hope the phrase, “elections have consequences,” remains indelibly ingrained in the collective minds of the apathetic. Don’t take my word for it Obama bots, listen to the man himself tell you, way back in the ancient date of July, 2008.
Believe it or not my friends, just like in every wretched Zombie movie ever inflicted upon a near comatose audience, an unlikely hero has emerged to fight in one final scene with the Zombie army. That unlikely hero, will be played by the Supreme Court, who in the spring session of 2014, will listen to the arguments consolidated from several cases in which the EPA has been accused of reaching far beyond their mandate.
From the Hotair dot com article:
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would consider challenges to Environmental Protect Agency limits on greenhouse-gas emissions, throwing the Obama administration’s landmark rules into a state of uncertainty. …
A three-judge panel in June 2012 upheld the agency’s finding that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide endangered public health and were likely responsible for global warming. The appeals court further upheld EPA emissions limits for new vehicles and refused to entertain the challengers’ efforts to stop the agency from phasing in emissions regulations on industrial facilities like power plants.
The Supreme Court will review part of that ruling. The justices said in a short written order that they will consider the EPA’s decision to impose greenhouse-gas permitting requirements on power plants and other stationary sources.
So, in a nut shell, when Cap and Trade lost in the Senate, or President signed an order which told the EPA to start holding America’s Power Plants up to the same emission standards as cars. You paid for it of course in the form of spiking electricity rates, which Barack Obama told you to blame on Republicans. The more stupid among you obliged him in this, and are predisposed to place such blame anyhow. Most of you probably shrugged your shoulders and simply blamed those fat cat energy company executives. Barack Obama of course, he escaped the perception of having any connection to this consequence of his policies what so ever. He after all is the first President to not be ultimately responsible for anything he does or says.
