OBAMA'S EPA STARTS PREDICTABLE LEFTIST POWER GRAB ON C02

[Get the latest "Truth With Speedzzter" here]

Just as Truth With Speedzzter told you, the radical Environmental Protection Agency, now politicized by freedom-hating, big government-loving "green" activists, is moving swiftly to impose a draconian regulatory nightmare on our automotive liberty.

The Detroit News and Autoblog are reporting that

The Environmental Protection Agency wants carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases declared a public health danger -- nearly two years after the Supreme Court gave it authority to regulate them.

If approved by the White House Office of Management and Budget, the move could set the stage for sweeping national limits on man-made carbon dioxide emissions, especially from the nation's automobiles.


Think about it: Everytime you exhale, you're a "public health danger" according to the Sierra Clubbers and Obama-appointed political hacks now running loose at the EPA.

Ever since five liberal activists on the U.S. Supreme Court discarded common sense, the checks and balances of representative government, personal liberty, and sound principles of statutory construction in the infamous Massachusetts vs. EPA decision, the "true believers" in the anthropogenic climate change faith and a legion of neo-socialist power-grabbers intent on punishing what's left of capitalism and the industrialized world have been chomping at the bit for an EPA declaration under the Clean Air Act.

Now a cadre of unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats (many former "green" activists/lobbyists or directly tied to the highly politicized international green movement) want to circumvent the legislative process and impose President Obama's radical "climate change" agenda upon America's motorists, automakers, automotive aftermarket, racers, hot rodders, tuners, collectors and enthusiasts.

Your automotive freedom is in dangerous peril.

In other words, get ready for your overpriced, government-imposed electric telephone-booth of a car and "disincentives" (taxes, fees, regulations) aimed at drying up the demand for and the supply of "dangerous" greenhouse gas emitting private vehicles (They'll broadly brand them "old clunkers" -- even if they are historically significant or would bring tens of thousands of dollars at a Barrett-Jackson auction -- and "gas guzzlers" -- even if they're seldom-driven collector cars).

It's back to the 1970s, only this time it will be even worse and more expensive.

Having just finished Watchmen, you know who you remind me of? Rorschach. True, you're not breaking any fingers yet, but still, I get that vibe.

I'm not explaining it any further unless you've read the graphic novel, and no, seeing the movie doesn't count.

That'd be Dr. Walter Kovacks to you, Son . . . .

On the other hand, I'm just not that into violence, retribution, vengeance, or vigilante "justice." It's "above my paygrade" to quote President Obama.

For as the "Good Book" says "their foot shall slide in due time" (Deut. 32:35; See also, Jonathan Edwards, "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God" (circa 1741)); amd Rm. 3:23 ("For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God") It doesn't say anything about needing any Rorschachs to accomplish justice.

On the other hand, I'm a big believer in redemption and second chances. (See e.g. Jn 3, Rm. 5-8, Acts 4:12, Acts 10:43, Eph. 2:8-9, 2 Peter 3:9, 2 Cor. 5:19).

So I don't really think the comparison to Rorschach is completely accurate.

Hold up... you read the book? Damn, now I wanna derail this thread and talk about that instead!

If you wanna get outraged about something, I hear that CA is considering outlawing black paint on cars. THAT's worth the outrage.
