EPA Out Of Control

Give Liberals Unlimited Freedom and Power, they will take yours.

Hey folks,

Happy Tuesday in this short week to ya. Hope you are ready for Turkey Day. I am. Thanksgiving. My favorite Holiday.

I first told you about E15 Tuesday, August 24, 2010 E15, Liberal Dreams Have Consequences

So you may have heard, the E.P.A. is considering raising the maximum blend of ethanol in unleaded gasoline from 10 percent to 15%. Great. So what's the problem? No one knows how it will effect the Engine, Pollution, OR the World Food Source.

I reminded you about the Food Riots and told you how this was guaranteed to cause even more. Then you add in the fact it has not even been tested?

Then on Tuesday, November 09, 2010 EPA, One of Many Things, Needs To Be Reeled In we talked about how Obama and the Kooks in Congress, do not have enough Votes to get some of the things he wanted Passed. Now he has even less. So?

So what to do, what to do? Give the EPA, nearly unlimited power to do it for ya. This way when it hits the fan, you can say, "Hey, wasn't me, it was the EPA." If there is to be a GREAT back lash to it, then Obama and Crew could come in for the rescue, and attack the very TOOL that they are using to get Cap and Tax. Get the point?

We talked about the EPA, through it's "Clean Air Act," is set to completely destroy Private Industries. The EPA proposed 42 significant regulations, with an annual Economic impact of $100 Million or more, during the Administration's first 18 months. One of the most damaging and outrageous, is the "New Ozone Standard." When this is implemented, the experts say it will cost ANOTHER 7.3 Million U.S. Jobs, and raise the cost of EVERYTHING in your daily life.

As I said then, this is all a bunch of gobbledygook.

They know this is all Bunk. All Political. Why else do you think that they came out on Tuesday, yes Election Day, when the Republicans TRAMPLED the Democrats all across the country, to say that it would postpone the release of the new Ozone Standard until the end of the year. My guess is that it will be shelved. They know that their new found Authority can be limited by the New House. They will not want to push it. My guess would be that they will attempt to lay low for the next two years in the hopes that the Democrats take over again in 2012.

Here is an EXCELLENT Video about all this.


If you have trouble viewing the Video, go to YouTube. But this is why you still need to be concerned about this. Even though they postponed, and may even shelve the new Ozone Standard, this doesn't mean that they can not bring it back, when Congress is more "friendly" toward them.

No folks, it really is simple. Give Liberals unlimited Freedom and Power, they will take yours. Every time. From the Food Police, to the EPA, TSA, Federal and Local Governments. Left unchecked, Liberalism is dangerous and WILL impede your Freedoms and Will. They do not care what you think, if they actually CAN legally, or what the actual outcome may be. They TRULY feel that they are smarter than you, and they know better. Screw you and what you think. THEY are large and in charge. You will know your role, and obey.

Problem is, for them, THIS IS AMERICA. Home of the Free, and Land of the Brave. We will NOT lay down and give up our Freedoms. They have been bought with too great a price. We will NOT become complacent with Tyranny, or allow a Dictatorship to rise. We will not accept unfounded, and unproven gobbledygook as FACT. Why do you think they lost the "Global Warming" argument? Why do you think they were thrown out on their arse, this past election? We are NOT stupid, nor shall we ever be complacent with stupidity.

EPA is just one more thing that needs to be reeled in. Their power limited. We need to bring control back to the People. We need Adults running the show and Intelligence in Government. We need checks and balances. Safeguards and Limits as to how far ANY group, especially non elected groups, can go in dictating or impeding Freedoms. The new Republicans in the House sure do have their work cut out for them. Let's hope they are.

EPA Nominee Suggests New CO2 Rules May Expose Small Emitters

From the Emails for Friday 052209

Hey folks,

I have a lot to talk about to say the least. I take two days off, and all hell breaks loose news wise. I'm not kidding. I have three days worth of stuff to go over in just a few hours on the Big Sunday Edition, I KNOW I will not get to all of it. What a past couple of days. Cap and Trade is one of the things we will be talking about, both today and in the days to come.

It's Friday! Happy Friday to you. Being that it is Friday, it's time to go to the Emails. This one was sent to me by Bill Miller, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Here it is.

EPA Nominee Suggests New CO2 Rules May Expose Small Emitters

May 20, 2009

WASHINGTON -- New federal greenhouse gas emission regulation could expose a raft of smaller emitters to litigation, a nominee for a key post in the Environmental Protection Agency told lawmakers Thursday.

The potential for smaller emitters to be regulated under the Clean Air Act is one reason why business groups warn that EPA regulation of greenhouse gases could create a cascade of legal and regulatory challenges across a much broader array of sectors. The Obama administration has said that isn't their intent.

Regina McCarthy, nominated to be EPA's Director of Air and Radiation, told lawmakers that even while the government has flexibility in setting the threshold of emitting facilities to be regulated, she acknowledges the risk of lawsuits to challenge those levels for smaller emitters. Ms. McCarthy's office is responsible for drafting federal emission rules.

Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) has put a hold on Ms. McCarthy's nomination in part because of her responses on the greenhouse gas issue.

Under the Obama administration, the EPA is moving forward to declare greenhouse gas emissions a danger to public health and welfare, which will trigger new rules once finalized. The EPA says that only around 13,000 of the largest emitters, such as refiners, smelters and cement plants would likely be regulated.

Which is the point folks. That is the whole reason that the OBAMA controlled EPA is doing this. This is it all together. Remember that letter I posted from the White House Legal Counsel? They admit that there is no real Science involved in this. That it is all politically motivated.

Many legal experts say that based on clear Clean Air Act statutes, however, regulations could be applied to any facility that emits more than 100-250 tons a year, including hospitals, schools and farms. Taken in aggregate, farm animals are major greenhouse gas sources because of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from flatulence, belching and manure. Buildings often emit greenhouse gases from internal heating or cooling units.

Got news for you. PEOPLE do the same thing. This is one of the main stupidities of this. CO2 is NOT a pollutant. It is a necessary byproduct.

"It is a myth . . . EPA will regulate cows, Dunkin Donuts, Pizza Huts, your lawnmower and baby bottles," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said earlier this year, dismissing concerns raised by groups such as the Chamber and the National Association of Manufacturers.

But in responses to a senator's questioning, Ms. McCarthy acknowledged that legal suits could be brought against small emitters.

No. Well, yeah, but NO. Lawsuits can and should be brought against YOU. The EPA, and the Federal Government. First, PROOF, Scientific proof that CO2 is a pollutant to begin with would be nice, but lets say it is. Now you go after say Wal-Mart, or Chevron, ETC. yet you do not go after Mom and Pop, Dunkin Donuts, ETC. What is right for one is right for all. You can not pick and chose who to go after. That would be like me saying three people mugged old ladies. I'm only going to prosecute the one that has the most. I will not bother the other two. They are poor and can not help it. Besides, give me a second, I'll find a way to link Bush to them.

Asked how she would protect smaller sources against suits, Ms. McCarthy said she would talk with the litigants: "I will request that I be informed if any such notice is filed with regards to a small source, and I will follow-up with the potential litigants."

What does that even mean? Did she just say, "The EPA and the Federal Government will PROTECT small polluters?" Or that she will ignore the laws that she is in charge of enforcing? Sure did sound like it.

Bill Kovacs, the head of environment and regulatory affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said, "There's no way she can talk to the litigants and control them." By the Chamber's estimate, there are 1.5 million facilities -- such as large office buildings that have their own boilers -- that produce over the 250-ton limit.

Pointless and magic number. 250-ton limit? Says who? Why? What does that 251 Ton do that the others do not do?

Kassie Siegel, director of the Center for Biological Diversity's Climate Law Institute, says her group is prepared to sue for regulation of smaller emitters if the EPA stops at simply large emitters.

Exactly. You see folks, the dirty little secrete to this scam is that they do not care. They do not want to go after smaller polluters for one reason. THEY CAN NOT PAY! There is nothing in it for them. But the big ones? Lots of money to "Spread Around." Get the point?
