Obama goes to war with America

[Mr.Fitnah]

"The EPA's irresponsible and heavy-handed action not only undermines Texas' successful clean air programs, but threatens thousands of Texas jobs, families, businesses and communities throughout our state," Perry said in a statement. "It will also likely curtail energy supplies and increase gasoline prices nationwide."

EPA overturns 16-year-old Texas permit program
By RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI (AP) – 1 day ago
HOUSTON — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday officially overturned a 16-year-old Texas air permitting program it says violates the Clean Air Act, leaving some of the country's largest refineries in a state of limbo.
The move comes after years of backdoor bickering, negotiations and public arguments between the EPA and Texas. The argument recently escalated from a battle over environmental issues into a heated political dispute over states' rights.
Gov. Rick Perry has been using it to drive home his contention that President Barack Obama's administration is overreaching, saying in a statement Wednesday that "Texas will continue to fight this federal takeover of a successful state program."
The EPA's decision, announced in a statement, will force some 125 refineries and petrochemical plants to invest millions of dollars to get new permits. Many of the plants may also have to invest in updates to comply with federal regulations.
The decision did not come as a surprise to Texas or the industries. EPA regional director Al Armendariz has said for months he would disapprove the permits if Texas did not comply with the Clean Air Act.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's chairman Bryan Shaw insisted Wednesday the state's permitting program complies with the Clean Air Act and has improved air quality in Texas. However, in an effort to satisfy the EPA's concerns, Shaw said the commission recently changed the rules but apparently the EPA "did not take them into consideration."

That this happened as Obama launches his bid for amnesty is no surprise.
I guess we will need more stimulus money and gas stamps for the poor.

This is his war on Oil. He will not stop until he kills the oil industry in this country, and he could care less what people in Texas think. They didn't vote for him. That is the same reason he is so lack luster on the spill. He wants it to be bad, so more people will support his war on oil. He can afford to ignore what is happening in Texas, LA, Mississippi, and FlA, because......you guessed it none of those states went for Obama in the Election last time. So he does not give a flying fuck what those people think. To the Marxist and Black Liberationists that Obama is those people in those states are the Enemy. Bitter people clinging to guns and religion.

I don't think anyone realizes just how badly we fucked up letting Obama win, and have a Democrat near Super Majority at the same time. I am afraid we will never get them out again. If They Push Amnesty through and get them all to vote before 2012 were toast.

Obama told us he planned to do all this. All you had to do was read his book and words from the past. Look at who he hung out with, and associated with. Listen to his words about Marx, and how our Constitution was flawed. Hear him say he was going to fundamentally change America, to know all this was coming.

He wants to collapse what is left of Capitalism in America so the people beg for Socialism.

He is the most Dangerous threat to our Freedom, and America as we all know and love it, we have ever known. Bar none.

 

[Mr. H.]

The board is set, the pieces are moving.

The Hussein knows that oil is the lifeblood of our economy. The sooner he can destroy it, the sooner he can bring the whole country down for good. All so he can rebuild it brick by brick in his vision of a national socialist union.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

This is the tyranny of a bureaucratic oligarchy.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Since the story is not on Drudge it will pass unnoticed .

 

[Mr. H.]

Ethanol plants aren't in compliance so why do they continually get a pass?

Dutch,

It does demonstarte that the average American just isn't too bright. Like Ive always maintained - take California and New York out of the Union and you're left with a bunch of backward, religious fanatic, incapable of logical thought.

California is broke because of decades of overtaxation and NY is literally being lead by the blind down the same path. Two shinning examples of the failures of liberalism.

 

[blastoff]

If it's war Barry wants, it's war he'll get. Boy, get ready for the big counterattack in November and expect lots of casualties on your side.

 

[Avatar4321]

Just remember, we need to keep this war non-violent. If things start getting violent, we lose any control and who knows how it will turn out or who will suffer.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Incidentally, as evidence that even Republicans from less environmentally-inclined states knew that what they were doing was fundamentally wrong, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn summed up his position by saying, "even if it's the right thing to do, it's not the right time."

Coburn's point seemed to be that the economy this year can't handle new clean-air regulations. But the EPA has already published schedules making it clear that any regulations it issues will not even be proposed this year, and compliance dates for the limited number of major polluters that will be affected are years in the future.

So much for the prognosticators at the Huffington Post.

 

[theHawk]

The EPA just needs to be abolished.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

The EPA just needs to be abolished.

It is just one part of the bureaucratic oligarchy.
The republic has given way to a tyranny unelected law makers .

If you think anyone in this country can kill the oil industry, you are delusional.

They didn't vote for him. That is the same reason he is so lack luster on the spill. He wants it to be bad, so more people will support his war on oil. He can afford to ignore what is happening in Texas, LA, Mississippi, and FlA, because......you guessed it none of those states went for Obama in the Election last time.

Bitter people clinging to guns and religion.

Try to wipe the foam off your face before you spew. Also what have marxists and black liberationists to do with this discussion?

I don't think anyone realizes just how badly we fucked up letting Obama win, and have a Democrat near Super Majority at the same time. I am afraid we will never get them out again. If They Push Amnesty through and get them all to vote before 2012 were toast.

Hysteria much?

Listen to his words about Marx, and how our Constitution was flawed. Hear him say he was going to fundamentally change America, to know all this was coming.

You can, of course, quote the relevant passages so we can tell what you think you are talking about.

He wants to collapse what is left of Capitalism in America so the people beg for Socialism.

We already have corporate socialism, and it seems to be going well for them, maybe it's about time the rest of us got in on it.

He is the most Dangerous threat to our Freedom, and America as we all know and love it, we have ever known. Bar none.

I take it you slept through the previous administration?

No California is broke due to Enron and the current financial meltdown. By the way, you do know that the governor of Californifornia is a republican? The only shining example here is your ignorance.

If that ever happens I suggest you get used to breathing smog.
