West Point's "Green" Officer

Our military is rapidly losing its way.  Somehow it believes that celebrating sodomy in the ranks will be beneficial to good order and discipline and that war is an equal opportunity employer.  How is going against the Law of Nature as established by our Creator a good thing?

Now we have the introduction of "green" officers at the United States Military Academy with the addition of "Brigade Energy and Environmental" officers and non-commissioned officers to cadet staffs:

"Cadets on the Brigade Energy and Environmental staff will introduce a new insignia to the Corps when they don their cadet uniforms this week. These cadet energy and environmental officers and noncommissioned officers, or E2Os, are tasked with leading the charge on initiatives related to recycling, energy and water conservation at the academy. 

The insignia has the chevrons customary to cadet rank. The three rockers below are designed as waves to signify energy and water. It has been decades since the last insignia has been approved for a cadet staff position, and the process took nearly a year before the rank received approval from the Brigade Tactical Department and the Commandant of Cadets." (from West Point Facebook page)

Here is their shoulder sleeve insignia:

This has the potential to become the new political officer who seeks sustainable development, fights climate change, and introduces United Nations' Agenda 21 to our military formations.  Agenda 21 can be described as "a mechanism by which nations can 'legitimately' centralize control of all resources (including people) in their nations in the name of combatting 'man-made climate change'" (source) and is a direct threat to the American form of government and the liberties of its citizenry.  We do not need the military actively supporting or enforcing it.

Frankly, any sort of conservation effort needs to be restricted to an additional duty for an officer and not elevated to an official staff position.  Perhaps our units can now have the S-21 (or G-21) added to their staffs and call him or her the "Agenda 21 Officer."

With the introduction of this "green" officer, our military can start forming the "First Earth Battalion" to fight for the future of our planet as envisioned by Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon of "The Men Who Stare at Goats" fame:

"The earth battalion declares its primary allegiance to people and planet." (First Earth Battalion manual) 

"The First Earth Battalion is a banner under which the forces of good in the world can unite and find strength in spirit with others who share a common goal.  Warrior Monks are guardians of the good, guardians of humanity, nature and the planet..." (First Earth Battalion manual)

Perhaps one of the cadets who serve as a cadet energy and environmental officer (E2O) can be the unit's first commander.  They can utilize the proposed Green Annex to the US Army Operations Order to better carry out their mission.

Going Green, Hotel Style!

In my opinion, the "Going Green" option in hotels is reflective of the entire environmentalist movement.  Instead of "conserving the environment," what you are really doing is voluntarily accepting fewer services while paying the same amount of money.  Are you getting this?  "Going Green" means that you pay the same (or more, for the privilege of conserving), but get less.  The business gets the same amount of revenue from you, provides fewer services, and can say to the government that they are toeing the environmentalist line.  It is a win-win situation for them.

I have devised my own system for Going Green! in hotels, which is comprised of these four levels:

Level 0: The occupant takes no noticeable actions to "Go Green" and will reside in the Fourth Circle of Hell for Eternity.

Level 1: Decline housekeeping.  Reuse your towels and sheets, make your own bed and clean your own cups and glasses.

Level 2: Decline housekeeping and conserve amenities.  Instead of using the towels to dry off, use the hairdryer (which is powered by "green" energy).  To prevent the soiling of sheets, choose to sleep on the floor.  Drink water from your hand, not the glass.  Take showers that are no longer than three minutes.  If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down!

Level 3: Conserve the entire room by refusing the room key and sleeping outside.  The staff will kindly provide you with a cardboard shipping container to help keep off the cold and rain, and a biodegradable bag for your excrement.  Upon checking out, you will deposit your cardboard box in the recycling bin for the next customer to use.  If you select this level, you will receive triple rewards points since you are such a low-impact customer on the business...I mean the environment.  Gaia (Mother Earth) will look favorably upon your actions when your body returns to Her Bosom.

Obama To The American People:

By Findalis of Monkey in the Middle

F**k You!

Once again the Obama regime fails to provide sound energy and job programs.  Instead of looking to our neighbor to the north, Canada and their oil sands for some energy independence (From Muslim oil), he will be cancelling the Keystone Pipeline.  A project that will bring 100,000 jobs (20,000 Shovel-ready.).

The State Department will announce the decision on Keystone XL pipeline is "no," as early as Wednesday, an industry source told Fox News, suggesting that the department will say 60 days is inadequate time to do the required environmental impact assessment on the path of the coveted pipeline.

For three years, the State Department has been reviewing the initial proposal to run a pipeline from Canada down to Texas through a sensitive Nebraska aquifer -- authority it has because of the transnational path the route takes. The pipeline had been through several other federal, state and local approvals, but the department backed away from signing off on the plan last year after environmentalists complained.

Industry workers and Republicans contend the project would create thousands of jobs, and Canada's prime minister has warned if the U.S. can't get on board, the North American nation will look to team with China.

"Unfortunately Prime Minister Harper of Canada just this week said because of the volatile indecisiveness on the part of this president, that they feel they are being held hostage and they will take their energy elsewhere specifically to Asia and China," Jack Gerard, president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, told Fox News Radio.

In December, Congress attached to the payroll tax cut a deadline of 60 days for the State Department to determine approval for an alternative route. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner pointed out that the legislation doesn't permit the State Department to reject the plan, only President Obama. The language says if he rejects the pipeline, Obama must then issue a report to Congress "that provides a justification for determination, including consideration of economic, employment, energy security, foreign policy, trade and environmental factors."

On Tuesday, Obama's own jobs council suggested that it agrees with the pipeline concept. While not specifically mentioning Keystone in a report out Tuesday about improving competitiveness, the council said that when it comes to energy projects in general, the government needs to "expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs."

"We think this all-in energy strategy can create significant economic growths and significant job creation," said Lewis Hay, NextEra Energy CEO and a member of the president's job council.

Obama has noted his environmental concerns when it comes to energy exploration but insisted Tuesday that a balance could be found.

"I think the recommendations are sound. We see enormous potential in production of traditional fossil fuels," he said without mentioning Keystone.

As oil prices rose Wednesday on fresh signs the U.S. economy was improving, which could lead to stronger demand for gasoline and other energy products, the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, argued that the pipeline doesn't make the U.S. anymore energy secure just because it would get oil from a close neighbor and friend.

Instead of carrying common crude oil, the Keystone XL pipeline would carry thick, toxic bitumen for refining in the Gulf states, effectively transporting pollution from Canada to the United States," reads the NRDC report..

"It is not in the national interest to lock the United States into supporting an expensive and dirty form of oil for many years to come. Also, additional capacity for tar sands oil perpetuates America's addiction to oil, and undermines the clean energy alternatives that would bring genuine energy security," the NRDC report continues.

But Gerard said the president's refusal to approve the pipeline is a "clear abdication of leadership." House Speaker John Boehner also accused the president of trying to put off a politically difficult decision until after the election.

"This is not good for our country," Boehner said. "The president wants to put this off until it's convenient for him to make a decision. ... The president's got an opportunity to create 100,000 new jobs almost immediately. The president should say yes."

Barack Hussein Obama has given into the extreme Environmental Moonbats.  These are the kooks that want the world to go back to the time we lived without electricity, modern medicine, cars, etc...  And Sheik Obama agrees with them.  But instead of Sheik Obama assuming the blame on this disastrous decision, he will now be able to blame the State Department (Hillary Clinton) for the decision.  Just like he tries to do every time.

Will The China Syndrome In Japan Affect The US?

Will The China Syndrome In Japan Affect The US?
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

I reside about thirty air miles (as the crow flies) from a huge east coast nuclear power plant.

I was here when the plant was built and when it was put online.

A few decades ago, I did a commentary, which I thought raised some reasonable questions concerning the safety of the plant.

It got the attention of the big wigs at company headquarters and their representative paid me a visit. The result was -- I granted them equal time to rebut my commentary – AND -- I got a private tour of the plant from the front gate to a point as close to the rector as a human being (without protective clothing, etc.) is allowed to go.

I remember as we were entering the plant proper we were in what I thought was a tunnel. I inquired as to where the tunnel led. The company rep enlightened me: It was not a tunnel we were walking in – IT WAS THE WALL WE WERE PASSING THROUGH!!

I thought about that experience today as I watched the scenes from Japan on Fox News Channel.

It really got my attention when I remembered that between my home and the aforementioned nuclear power plant there is a well-known earthquake fault. The fault, itself, is closer to the plant than my home, but it is there -- and frankly, it makes me nervous.

Now – I have been in that plant a couple of times, actually, and I am, today, a bit uneasy about its location.

The question is: If I am troubled by its proximity to my home – what about all the folks who have never seen a nuclear power plant, and certainly have never been inside one or seen movies and sat through lectures on how the things work, etc.?

Remember the movie: “The China Syndrome?” I saw it soon after its release. It was a 1979 thriller film that tells the story of a reporter and cameraman who discover safety cover-ups at a nuclear power plant. It stars Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon, Michael Douglas, Scott Brady, James Hampton, Peter Donat, Richard Herd, and Wilford Brimley. The title refers to the concept that, if an American nuclear plant melts down, the core will melt through the Earth until it reaches China. (READ MORE HERE.)

That won’t happen. It can’t happen.

“The China syndrome becomes fictional in the hypothesis of it boring a hole from the United States to China, or any other part of the world. Most obviously it is impossible because the Earth's gravity would only pull it towards the core of the planet and no further. Furthermore, were the molten reactor fuel to reach the planetary mantle, the actual environmental effect would likely be low; the radioactive material would disperse by convection throughout the mantle, which is in any case kept hot by natural nuclear decay. However, it is likely that the uranium core would not exceed more than 10 meters of 'boring' due to natural passive safety. The surrounding ground beneath the reactor would absorb the heat and transfer its conductivity to the surrounding area, thus preventing the ground directly beneath the core from 'melting'. This manner of spreading heat convectively through the ground is proposed for use in General Atomics' Gas Turbine Modular Helium Reactor for regular operation and passive safety, which aims to eliminate the possibility of a meltdown.” (SOURCE)

In 2009 only about 20 percent of the electric energy used by the US was provided by nuclear power. We need more than that – a lot more than that.

However, after the world has seen the burning nuclear plants in Japan and the evacuations of people for miles around those burning plants, that alone will stop the building of more nuclear power plants, no matter how desperately they are needed, in America.

Humans are naturally afraid of things they do not understand. It is the nature of the beast. It is not a BAD thing. It has kept us alive since we first showed up on this planet. But it is also true that man’s natural fear of the unknown will be exploited by some of his fellow humans to assist in moving forward their agenda, whatever that agenda may be.

As I watched those pictures from Japan, I could not help but think of the environmentalists for whom nuclear power has been the biggest of all the “bogymen” since it first came on the scene. To think they will not exploit the Japanese misfortune to make it even more difficult to get a permit to build another nuclear power plant in America would be to deny reality.

These are the people who want to sell America on those ugly, UGLY, HUGE windmills and those pathetically poor solar panels.

Look. Unless you plan to use most of the land between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains to set up miles, and miles, and miles, of 300 to 500 feet high towers with blades that span some 300 feet across -- and make a terrible (nearly incessant) noise- as far as the eye can see toward the horizon, and plop miles and miles of solar panels, maybe between the wind mills, you are wasting your time. The amount of energy America uses would wear those pitiful machines out in short order.

Remember; when the wind doesn’t blow the windmills produce no energy. When the sun doesn’t shine the solar panels produce no energy. Guest what DOES produce energy -- as a back up to those infernal machines when they go limp. Power plants fired by fossil fuels.

Without plentiful electrical energy America will slowly grind to a halt. Our standard of living in America is already declining as the American ruling class is forcing Americans to do less, produce less, and live with less than their parents – and soon -- even less than their grandparents.

The acolytes of the environmentalist religion have infiltrated our government and they intend to bring America to her knees. Unless they are stopped there is no question they will be successful in dragging American down to a Third World Country status in fairly short order.

I have no doubt they will use the unhappy misfortune of the people of Japan to aid them in what, in my opinion, is their nefarious work.

Another Recession Keyed By High Oil Prices?

Another Recession Keyed By High Oil Prices?
America Afloat On An Ocean Of Domestic Oil!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet


If you are old enough, and wise enough, to remember the Jimmy Carter years then you remember the fiasco that was his administration. But mostly, you will remember the so-called gas shortage or oil crisis with vehicles lined up for blocks waiting to buy gas. Remember the days when you could buy gas and the days you could not buy gas?

Back in those days, I was a credentialed broadcast news reporter. And something did not “smell” right. After a few weeks of snooping, nobody was able to convince me the gas shortage was real.

I spoke to a propane gas dealer who told me, off the record, (when I asked about the shortage) that all his storage tanks were filled to capacity and he had rail cars sitting on the local tracks filled with propane and he had just been notified that more was on the way.

Around 5 AM, one morning, I, personally, pumped gasoline from a gas pump with a hand-lettered sign on it stating the station was “out of gas.” I knew the owner and had obtained the keys the evening before.

I heard of oil dealers renting storage space from farmers, in the tanks that would normally store the farmer’s fuel for his farm equipment. I was not able to verify that story, but I knew a number of dealers and I did not doubt it then -- and I do not doubt it today.

I also heard, and saw, tankers pumping gasoline into abandoned underground tanks at old, rural, (closed) filling stations in order to store their overflow of gasoline.

An area TV station filmed tanker ships lying low in the water and anchored just over the horizon from the near-by port. It was reported they were ordered to do so while the companies waited for gasoline prices to increase… then they would sail into port and off-load their precious cargo.

I was convinced then, and I am convinced today, that THAT gas shortage – THAT oil crisis – was manufactured. We were drowning in oil and gasoline. I saw too much, I heard too much, and I experienced too much to believe otherwise.

I have come to believe it was the first attempt, by the government, to force Americans to cut back on oil consumption -- to learn to do with less. See, America’s President was the DEMOCRAT, Jimmy Carter -- you know, another one who believes we must all learn to suffer equally, just like the current democrat in the White House, Obama.

The price of gasoline and other oil products is skyrocketing -- even as I write. The American consumer is being taken to the cleaners.

I don’t blame the oil companies for our current oil crisis.

Look. America is awash in oil. We’ve got more oil than the Arabs! But – our government won’t let us get to it -- and use it -- and flip the bird to the Middle Eastern Oil princes.

Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. To our knowledge -- none has been extracted. With this mother load of oil why are we still fighting over offshore drilling?

Now. Consider this: The U. S. Geological Service issued a revised report in April of 2008 (It hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in the area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana. Take a look for yourself. http://bakkenshale.net/bakkenshalemap.html

“The Bakken,” as it is referred to, is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay, and it has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates the Bakken deposit at 503 billion barrels. This is light, sweet, oil that would be far, far, less costly to Americans than the oil we are importing today.

We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. We are talking more than 2 TRILLION barrels of untapped oil. Here are the official estimates: - 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia - 18-times as much oil as Iraq - 21-times as much oil as Kuwait - 22-times as much oil as Iran - 500-times as much oil as Yemen - and it's all right here in America -- in the Western United States.

Estimates tell us that that oil could satisfy America’s need for fuel for up to for 2,041 years!

You can read about this, yourself, at the US Geological Survey website HERE.

So what the deuce is going on? I mean, why the heck are we Americans sitting on our hands and not DEMANDING that our government “cut the cr*p” and allow the oil companies to dig, and drill, for all this oil? WHY is the US continuing to ship our treasure and our blood to the Middle East -- and to our unfriendly southern neighbors -- for oil?

We are on the cusp of back-to-back recessions with the second dip looming today. The cost to Americans for oil is threatening to push us over that brink and into a recession that will, most likely, become a depression even worse than the one or parents and grandparents experienced in the 1930’s.

Who’s to blame? First we blame the environmentalists and others (including the US government) who have blocked all efforts to aid America in becoming independent of foreign oil! And second: If we are truthful, we must blame ourselves, as well, for allowing those people so much power and influence in the first place!

I must ask: Why are we allowing a small group of people to dictate our lives and our economy, indeed, our future as a viable nation?

It is past time to fight back America. Demand that the US Congress defund the Environmental protection Agency right off the bat. Get rid of it.

Just as important is the necessity to elect a President with the cajones to override the environmentalist and open up America to drilling and digging for our own vast reserves of oil sloshing beneath our feet and just offshore and under the tundra.

Understand this: The fantasy of wind turbines and solar panels is just that – a fantasy. The hard truth is – America needs OIL, and lots of it, to sustain our economy -- and us.

The time is exceedingly short. America is facing ruin in a depression, which lies just over the horizon. We have to act now just to insure our survival as a viable nation. Even now, we may have waited too long.

Spiritual Wickedness in High Places?

Spiritual Wickedness in High Places?
Copenhagen: The All Out Drive for A One-World Government
The Advent of a One-World Religion: Paganism!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*******************************************

Two years ago, in December of 2007, I wrote an article entitled: “Environmentalism is a Religion.” It turned out to be more on target than even I suspected. With the Environuts, and enviro-police, and the seekers after absolute power over the earth by the institution of a one-world government (known these days by the flowery title of Global Governance) gathered in Copenhagen, for another attempt at yoking the planet with the pagan religion of “earth worship,” it seemed to me that today would be a good time to revisit the Environmentalism as a religion concern once again.

As I viewed the gathering of priests of the new/old pagan religion in Copenhagen, I thought to myself, nothing much has changed over the last several thousands of years. Men still seek power over their fellow man and they still use fear to acquire it and even more fear to hold onto it. The Copenhagen meeting is simply a way of inducing fear, at a deeper level, into humanity and using that fear to control all the peoples of the earth.

As I viewed news reports coming out of Copenhagen a piece of scripture from the New Testament of the Bible, written by Saint Paul in a letter to newly minted Christians in Ephesus, maybe a couple of thousand years ago, floated to the surface of my consciousness: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12) I thought just how apropos that verse of scripture is when applied to modern times both in America and the entire world. “Spiritual Wickedness in high places” could have been written today to describe the gaggle of Czars in the Obama Regime right here in America.

There is a sickness abroad in the land – and on the planet. I refer to the attempt at the enslavement of all mankind. Global Governance is likely the most important part of the Copenhagen Treaty. We’re talking a single governing body to oversee the entire planet. This would be a non-elected body of men, and/or women, who would, in effect, rule the earth. If you control the earth’s energy, and energy sources, you control the earth – ALL the earth! At least they intend to try. You and I know it can’t be done, but blinded by their own lust for power THEY believe IT CAN BE DONE and THEY can do it. You must understand, these are people who believe themselves to be “the best and brightest” of the earth -- and they, and only they, know what is best for the people of earth. These people are truly “the malignant ones” straight out of the darkness of evil and degradation.

The ancient Psalmist says: “The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear.” (Psalm 58:3-4)

Even with the release of the hacked e-mails of ClimateGate, millions simply refuse to believe the proof of the worldwide hoax of Global Warming even when it is placed right in front of their eyes. As the Psalmist described, they have “stopped their ears.” Yes, the old adage: “There are none so blind as those who will not see” must be applied to all the millions who doggedly hang on to a disgraced, phony, religion seeking salvation through their works toward saving the planet.

Back in 2003, Michael Crichton pointed out how common sense was being violated by research we have been assured shows that human activity is causing the Earth's climate to warm and that this warming cannot be reversed. Crichton said the following: "Nobody believes a weather prediction 12 hours ahead. Now we're asked to believe a prediction that goes 100 years into the future? And make financial investments based on that prediction? Has everyone lost their minds?"

They have not lost their minds. This is, as a friend said recently, “willful ignorance.” They do not want to know the truth for they fear the truth. Lies serve the purpose of those in the hierarchy of this new/old pagan religion. Truth does not.

Even though reports out of Copenhagen seem to indicate their plans are falling apart there, we Americans have every bit as dire a problem looming on the political horizon in the White House and Congress. I refer, of course, to Obama’s “Cap and Trade Bill. The provisions of the bill, we now know, are based on skewed science; some even refer to it as fraudulent science.

Nevertheless, the President, and his minions in the Congress, intend to ram that bill through Congress and, in doing so, will cause the lay offs of millions of American working men and women in the coal business and other fuel producing industries, and the increase of the price of fuel to heat our homes, offices, and businesses, and prepare our food and operate our automobiles. When the “cost of doing business” increases, businesses will have no choice but to lay off employees within their respective businesses, as well. EVERYONE in America will be drastically affected. Prices on literally everything will increase, rapidly, to unbelievable levels. At the same time, the Cap and Trade Bill will create instant “Carbon Millionaires” not unlike some former politicians who have set up carbon companies.

Cap and Trade must not be allowed to pass the Congress and be signed into law by the President. If the socialists, Marxists and communists in control of the American government today have their way the economy of the United States will be dealt a blow we may never be able to recover from. Thus, American will join the long list of “Has Been Nations” as well as the list of “Third World Nations,” And that is exactly what the Copenhagen Treaty intends. The jealous third nations are determined to “stick it to” America by transferring as much of America’s wealth to, who else – THEM. Yes, it is pure socialism. Between the Copenhagen Treaty and the US’s own Cap and Trade Bill, America will be economically destroyed and greatly weakened, making us a prime target for any malcontent nation or group looking to emasculate and humiliate America on the world stage.

Cap and Trade is a sinister bill and must be stopped. Like jackals the representatives of the various governments and organizations continue to spout their socialist, Marxist, and yes, even communist slogans and goals and as they parade and preen before the world’s news organizations resembling nothing less than zoo animals on display sans the bars.

Men and women of conscious must stand against them. It has now become a matter of life and death, at least to a number of nations.

We must begin fighting back today -- and pray God we are not too late to save America!

We Must Stop The "Destroy America Bill!"

America Betrayed!
J. D. Longstreet

***********************

It gives me no joy to remind you that we told you this Congress and this President would do this to America. I refer, of course to the betrayal of America by the US House of Representatives when they passed the Cap and Trade Bill last week (June 26th, 2009 - another day that may yet live in infamy!)

The vote was 219 for and 212 against. Nevertheless, HR 2454 passed and now goes to the Senate for a vote there and then to the President for his signature.

It was a black day for Republicans because the bill could have been stopped had not the handful of Republicans who voted for the bill not done so. You need to remember their names:

Mary Bono Mack - California 45th District
Mike Castle - Delaware
Mark Kirk - Illinois 10th District
Leonard Lance - New Jersey 7th District
Frank LoBiondo - New Jersey 2nd District
John McHugh - New York 23rd District
Dave Reichert - Washington 8th District
Chris Smith - New Jersey 4th District
The primaries are coming up next year, 2010. This is far too important an issue to forget. We must not allow GOP voters to forget those from among their ranks who sold the party, and the nation, out with their support of this “Bill to Destroy America.”
In the meantime, we have to contact our US Senators and let them know, in no uncertain terms, how we feel about what the US House has done and explain, clearly, that we will not stand for them supporting this bill in the Senate. Let them know that you/we are “taking names” and we will not allow the memory of this issue to flag, or be swept under the rug when their name next shows up on our ballots. E-mail, fax, phone, or write (altho only the Good Lord, Himself, knows when a letter will actually reach a US Senator these days!) your Senators immediately, if not sooner. You can bet the democrat’s-in-charge are going to ram this bill through the Senate just as fast as they can to try to get out ahead of our protests. You can access the phone numbers, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses for every senator in the US Senate HERE.
As is his wont, Alan Caruba has written a piece, an important piece, I might add, that all Americans should read. You will find it HERE.

I have included it in this piece because Mr. Caruba’s insight into this rogue Congress, we currently have in Washington, DC is, in my opinion, without equal and when he decides to share that insight with us, it is worth careful consideration. Please don’t leave this site before you read what he has written below.

The next meeting of the Tea Parties is set for Independence Day, July Fourth. It is an opportunity to rally Americans, who still care about their country, to a showdown with the US Senate, the Congress as a whole, and our socialist President. If there had been any question in your minds as to the intent of the Socialist/Democrat Congress and President toward destabilizing America, her economy, and her standing among the nations of the world, then the passage of the Cap and Trade bill should erase all doubt. If this bill passes in the Senate - the entire worldwide geo-political alignment of nations will shift almost overnight. America will no longer be considered the world’s leader. She’ll just be another member of the pack.

Americans who care about their country cannot let this pass. We must rally and defend our country.

Please read Mr. Caruba’s commentary below.

Betrayed by Congresss
By Alan Caruba
*********************

Mark it on your calendar; June 26, 2009 was the date that the House of Representatives betrayed every American in the name of saving the nation and the Earth from global warming.


It was the day that 219 Representatives voted for the obscenely misnamed “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.” Only eight Republican members of the House voted for it and 44 Democrats voted against it.

The bill, some 1,200 pages, was not read by those men and women voting on it because they were not permitted the time to do so or have their staffs do it. The co-author of the bill, Rep. Henry Waxman, admitted that even he did not know its full contents.

The vote was not based on science, on economics, or simple common sense. It was an exercise in raw political power exercised by the Speaker of the House and her minions.

The bill puts limits on the generation of “greenhouse gases”, primarily carbon dioxide, setting up an elaborate scheme for the sale and trade of so-called carbon credits that will ultimately be the equivalent of the bundled housing mortgage securities that produced the present threat to the nation’s financial system. It is a get-rich scheme that will benefit a few while penalizing every American with higher costs for electricity.

The limits are justified by the claim that the Earth is dramatically warming due to too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Earth has been cooling for the last ten years and is predicted to continue cooling for thirty years or more. Carbon dioxide plays no role in the warming or cooling of the Earth.

The bill is a direct attack on the nation’s coal industry. Fifty percent of all the electricity generated nationwide comes from coal-fired plants. The U.S. has deposits of coal sufficient to meet the nation’s needs for hundreds of years. It is cheap and it is abundant. No new coal-fired plants will be built in America in the foreseeable future. Coal that is not utilized here will be exported to China, a nation that is building new coal-fired plants and opening them on a weekly basis to meet its need for power.

The bill also allocates billions for the development of the two worst, most inefficient and unpredictable sources of electricity, wind and solar energy. Presently, these represent barely one percent of all the electricity generated in the nation. There is no way, nor should there be, they can replace coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy as a source of electricity. They are also the alleged source of “green” jobs.

As for “security”, a nation that cannot access its own sources of energy, coal, oil and natural gas, has no security if it must import them from other nations, some of whom are hostile to our values and system of government. The bill puts our fate in the hands of nations that support the goals of Islamic global domination. It puts the nation at the mercy of men like Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and explains why President Obama made a deep bow to a Saudi prince earlier this year.

The bill must now go to the Senate where it is hoped that the upper body, though controlled by Democrats, will ensure it does not move on to the desk of the President.

If it passes in the Senate, the beginning of the actual decline of America as a great economy will be dated June 26, 2009.
