Senators warn new EPA rules would raise gas prices

Print Friendly

Senators from both sides of the aisle are warning that looming EPA regulations on gasoline could impose billions of dollars in additional costs on the industry and end up adding up to 25 cents to every gallon of gas.

The senators, in a letter this week to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, urged the agency to back off the yet-to-be-released regulations. Though the EPA has not yet issued any proposal, they claimed the agency is planning to call for a new requirement to reduce the sulfur content in gasoline.

    DUH!!!!! Every thing the EPA does ends up costing us a ton of cash. Remember their job website says in big, bold letters. “Come to work at the EPA where every day is Earth Day…”

    • michael peck

      gasoline does pollute but carbon dioxide is not the problem, its a life giving gas, the whole ‘cap n trade’ sceme is a scam to extract billions of dollars out of ‘us’ see climategate2 and how e-mails from these scientists who monitor this data is manipulated, and the earth has been cooling for last ten yrs(by thier own admission)

      • J Pro

        I agree with you 110%, how do we get this useful info to the jerks in the whitehouse and his/their epa – Then get rid of both?

        • June

          They all ready know the truth but the truth does not meet there Socialist Agendas. (New World Order) So the truth is ignored.

          • FREEME

            JUNE….that is correct. A good reason to eradicate EPA to stop the corruption labeled ‘climate change’ operating secretly under the auspices of UN AGENDA 21.

          • http://bobk90.wordpress.com Bobby

            Too bad the Military wouldn’t put them All under House Arrest during the upcoming 2012 State of Union!!! Charge them all with Crimes against Humanity and Fly them 1st Class to GITMO!!!!
            We should start over with a Tweaked Constitution and the Bill of Rights!!! By tweaked, I mean that Mandatory Lifetime Term Limits for ANY Elected Official or Appointed Official and Permanently End any and all Lifetime Appointments! The Constitution does not state anywhere that Federal Judges or Supreme Court Justices, are there until that Person Decides it is time to Retire…
            The US has not been a Legal Government since the Civil War when Lincoln carved out the state of West Virginia! Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution states this:
            “… but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress. “
            The Virginia Legislature did not “Consent” to have West Virginia carved out it! Nor did the Congress “Consent” to such an action!

            Really, just take a good long look at Lisa Jackson and you will see what’s up for America’s future.

            who ever appears to now be the nominee (after S.C.) needs to hear from the people. Iwant Ron Paul bkz he’s right-on about U.S. out-of U.N. let’s hear that from Mitt the mouth… how in the world does the republican party expect conservatives to support that guy? Simple I don’t think they do….They’re are much a part of the U.N. Agenda 21 (and the new world order socialism) as the dems. I just happen to think within the republican party there may be a doz. or so strong conservatives that do have the ear and respect of some of the moderates (Rino’s) and can perhaps sway these folks with our help. On the dem side the few moderate blue nose guys just fall apart when their party bosses start to push, there’s No push back…come to think of it, alot of our guys have gone along a bit, I guess to look like they want to work and resolve issues. Never works, cave to the liberals once and they expect it every time…

          • Die Free

            O dimmer said under his rule gas and engery prices would sky rocket. That is his plan to transfer wealth. Odummer is in full speed at putting to work agenda 21. This is one final step to cause a uprising so the top can come down. Remember it’s bottom up, top down, and inside out.

            AMEN JUNE! The door hitting them in the A** in November is the only solution, that is legal anyway!

          Hand cuff the criminals, and lock them up with the general population, in federal prison, where they belong.

          • Edward Shick

            If our elected Congress men cared about there voters they would call a special Session to abolish the EPA+ a lot of other worthless money grabbing Washington organizations

          • Billy Kidd

            The EPA was formed by executive order by Nixon so I should be abolished the same way !

          • ChuckInTexas

            Each one of us can do our part to undermine this administration. Cut back on your income taxes or stop paying altogether. If you don’t like the gov’t, then stop funding it. Duh!

          • clutch520

            Exactly right, Chuck!! Starve the beast. They can’t throw ALL of us in jail.

          • Huapakechi

            Just take ‘em half way to Gitmo. Let ‘em swim the remaining distance. If they can.

        • Mike Tanco

          Get rid of the EPA and Obama is what you’re saying?? Great idea! Let’s get both out of power. 2012 will be very significant in doing so. Mike Tanco

          • Bob

            Vote for Ron Paul, he will get rid of the EPA and 4 other parasite agencys. These agencys are not needed, the states already have them, the federal agencys have no reason to exist other than to waste more of your tax money and grow the federal government.

          • Huapakechi

            Why wait for January 2013 to remove ‘em? They can do incredible damage as lame duck liberals.

          • Mark

            Mike, I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!The EPA has now over stepped it’s bounds,just like Obama,they both are no longer wanted or needed!!!

        • DennisNeil

          The ‘jerks’ don’t care,, that is their PLAN,, redistribution of the ‘wealth’ to their own coffers!

        • fred

          you cant get this message to Obama. He knows everything already and believes any more money going into the government pocket and out of the citizens pockets is a good thing.

          • DWAIN

            Your memory must be short.Obama and his energy czar want $8.00 a gallon gas.His energy czar made this statement.

          • Reynold Palmer

            Obama givith a Payroll Tax Break in one hand & Takith away with higher Gasoline! WTF???
            If Obummer wanted to REALLY put more MONEY in peoples hands to spend, ha would LOWER GASOLINE PRICES back down to what it was when he took office! Can you remember it was UNDER $2.00 A GALLON!

        • leroy

          I don’t think anyone can get thru to the White House on anything dealing with the EPA. They are like Al Gore and his stand on global warming, they have no facts to back up their agument, but pass laws and regulations that cost taxpayers millions. They passed EPA regulations on diesel fuel for over the road trucks, then made the manufactures place extra equipment on the truck engins to make them burn cleaner. The price of diesel went up, the cost of new trucks went up, and who pid the price tag, consumers who purchased the trucks or consumers who purchased the goods that a truck transports. The Obuma administration ois going after the coal industry in America to shut it down, while there is no reugulations being placed on coal mined out of the country. What a bunch of clowns we have running this country. No jobs because of government reuglations on air quality, and the fact that they allowed all the good jobs to go off shore. China and Russa are setting on large coal reserves that they would love to sell to anyone who wants it, and they could give a dame about America’s EPA.

        • Omer

          Vote for Ron Paul. He intends to eliminate EPA and many other corrupt, unconstitutional organizations.

          • Ed Orr

            Ron Paul is not the only candidate who wants to and have said they would abolish the EPA. Let’s be accurate on that one at least.

          • DWAIN

            Ron Paul also seems to want Iran to have THE BOMB and let Israel go down the tubes.His domestic policy is great but it seems like He is senile on foriegn policy!!
            Only way He gets my vote is if He is the GOP nominee because even with His isolationist foreign policy He is better than Obama!!!

          • esek hopkins

            At his age, Paul would last a year in the White House. Stop lying to us and go back to your communist favorite, the usurper in the White House.

          • Judi

            Dwayne, you are right on!!!!

          • just sayin

            why would a paulbot care about accuracy. they have the loudest argument, not the most sensible.

        • The Bob

          Hi Bobby, I suppose you’re a native born Virginian, from what was in your post. Well, I’m a native Mountaineer, and very happy that WV is seperated from the ‘communistwealth’ of VA. At least, the eastern half. Sorry dude, but the eastern half is just way too close to DC, to suit me. Idealogical pollution, you know.

          • http://www.paltalk.com/PatrioticConservativeAmericans Charles O McVey Sr SFC E7 USA Retired CO

            When VA Seceeded from the Union this made Article IV, Section 3 no-longer applicable. Virginia was considered to be a state in rebelion and as such the restriction imposed by Article IV Section 3 did not apply to the formation of WVA. Unfortunately there are still some folks who cannot seem to understand this very important fact, and they therefore are incapable of reading the full intent and meaning of the Constitution.

        • Poppo

          They already know. . . This kinda crap is what they yearn for. The only way to get rid of these excessive regulations is to get rid of the present administration.

        • EEL RIVER KID

          hey j as long as oil companys are selling fuel u will be able to afford to drive. when your govt starts selling fuel u wont, look at sweden denmark norway. they are now over 8 dollars a liter. and the oil wells are a 100 miles away. thats socalism at work. nice huh. dont worry the alien in the white house is closing in, letting the epa do his bidding. 80% income tax in sweden, if the oil taxes wernt enough. good ol commies.

        • http://none ROCCO PALMISANO

          it’s about time we get rid of both. the epa has been lying to us all along how much more does the gov’t going to take from us money wise? we can’t even afford to live now and make ends meet.

        • Elwood

          Remember guys! November is coming! Be prepared to VOTE! If we don’t VOTE and Obummer and the EPA types are reelected we will have no one to blame but ourselves!

          545 vs. 300,000,000 People

          throw_bums_out_CroppedBy Charley Reese

          Charley Reese wrote for the Orlando Sentinel from 1971–2001. King Features Syndicate distributed his column, which was published three times a week. The following article is as timely today as when it was originally written.
          Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

          Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.
          You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
          You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
          You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
          You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
          One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
          I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
          I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.
          Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
          What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
          The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House now? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
          It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
          If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.
          If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.
          If the Army and Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan …
          If they do not receive Social Security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.
          There are no insoluble government problems.
          Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
          Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
          They, and they alone, have the power.
          They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees…
          We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

        • Brian

          You get the message to them by voting them out of office. obama really doesn’t care about it, he knows what he’s doing. It’s time the people of this country realize that he’s wants are not the country’s wants, needs and desires, and vote him and the members in Congress who support his policies. Get people back in office who are Christian and are American’s.

        • esek hopkins

          Let’s just get rid of the usurper in the White House and the next occupant can defund the EPA.

        • applepickers

          You got it , vote every one of them out.

          • Votem out?

            Gonna be pretty hard to vote them out cause the voting machines are just as corupted as the politicians

        • Poorman

          Obama has wanted higher gas all along, even to $5 to $6 a gallon so people would be forced to buy the green machines that cost $40k or more and to stuff the unions pockets who own most of GM now. (Government Motors) EPA is part of the conspiracy under Soros to destroy America.

          • grandma liberty

            if we can’t afford $6 a gallon gas, how are we supposed to afford those expensive cars??

          • Nanna Gail

            Poorman: Their eventual aim is to change the law so that NO PRIVATE PERSON will be allowed to OWN A MOTOR VEHICLE.

            won’t matter, cuz we would have to pay extra to rebuild our infrastructure during battles on our own soil if paul is elected. he wants to bring troops ALL home and fight from chicgo, new york, miami, houston and LA

            ron paul was my congressman… youdon’t want him running the country…the man is CRAZY when it comes to the military and such….he’s an isolationist…we can’t hide between two oceans anymore…get real…does’nt want a fence ‘becuase it might be used to keep us in’…what kinda nonsense is that…i like it here…i don’t mind a fence around America…it’s beautiful here….the man’s not all there…he see’s gremblins on the grassey nole…he’s got the social stuff right…but he’s afraid of the rest of the world…come on , ya’ll are smarter than that

          Vote for Ron Paul, it is the only way that we stand a chance.

          • Nanna Gail

            I wont vote for Ron Paul because of the fact the he WILL bring all our troops HOME. Once they are all in ONE COUNTRY, it makes it easier for the goons of the UN to kill them.

        • http://MSN LeRoy L

          J Pro you have it right -We need to get rid of both and put someone in to protect the enviroment with some commen sence in their head. They keep going just a little further so they can keep their jobs and look important to the people that don’t have a clue.

        • Bob

          It’s ths same old crap from both parties, all they want is more of your tax money. Put an end to this highway robbery and elect Ron Paul, he will get rid of the five most money grubbing, restrictive departments our crooked politicians schemed up. We don’t want their stinking, lousey programs, just leave us alone and stop wasting our money, tax, tax, tax, that’s all these crooks know.

      • Michael Laborde

        The EPA hates people and only loves the earth; and oh by the way if you’re not one of them you must not be given a chance to survive. They are the kings of the world.

        • Omer

          Almost correct. They love only money and power, they care nothing about the Earth.

          • Elwood

            I would only say, whatever love for the earth and whatever desire the EPAers have for preserving the earth applies to you and me, NOT THEM! They will still fly their private jets, drive their fossil fuel guzzling vehicles and live in their 6,000 square feet houses. Period. End of sentence.

          HAH, Love the earth? Their just fulfilling an agenda!An evil one!!!

      • Rick

        You are part way right, Carbon Dioxide is a life giving gas to plants, and they convert it into oxygen. It is what humans expell when we breath out.
        But when you burn gasoline it makes Carbon Monoxide, a POISONOUS gas!

      • pilot

        Michel Peck: Don’t give “enemy” any ammunition by saying that the problem is not carbon,– it never was, and actually carbon is used in fertalizer to make plants grow, carbon (in air),is used by plants through photosynthesis to make oxygen. Even the “idiot libs” admit that, — and we needs an much oxygen as we can get! Only our “fearless leader” thinks carbon is the problem,– unfortunately he is in power though!
        Now his attack is on Sulphur, -this is what you smell when driving down the road, – resembles what it would smell like,- if somebody ate sometning pretty bad last night,– and is now “passing gas”! Wonderful huh!! This was introduced when “clean air,-& earth” people started eliminating lead from the planet! We had no “acid rain” before that, because tetraethyl lead was used in gasoline to make it more combustible and “less polluting” — Oddly enough, – just a couple years after it was banned, and country went to “unleaded”– acid rain started falling in Adarondaks in North eastern U.S. – So now sulphur is the bane of existance! … Now we have an EPA which is in control of this stuff! Right now sulphur has to go, – so we ban it in gasoline, (and maybe it won’t make cars run anymore?)– or we “restrict use”!– By the way MTB was used to make gas burn more efficiently, but they had to quit using it because it caused high rate of cancer increase! Higher priced gasoline makes it cost more (along with everything else too), – and the poor-er people drive less,– we reduce the size of cars, so less is required per mile, and people are killed easily, – next will be reduction of highway speed so the cars don’t crash together at such high speeds,.-(theoretically reducing deaths)– For thouse who lived through WW2,- remember the 35 mph speed limits — it saved gas!! It also cut travel to bare minimum, — and lots of peole had to walk everywhere (because it was also rationed,- and “normal folks” got 5 gallons per week)! .. Next issue is coal fired electric generating plants– Those are going to be shut down, — so you can expect possibly 25% or more increase in cost of electricity! — That is if you can get it (and afford the cost increase)!! In past we tore out a lot of the hydro-electric plants, – so the salmon could swim upstream! (Gift of wildlife pundits)! Now no coal plants running will possibly cause as much as 50% less power generated! Another benifit to those that want to restrict and control common folks! Oh yeh! We have solar and wind available now,– but they are “harping” about wind generators hurting birds, and remember Solyndra ( and a couple more looming in background)– these are really efficient,- cheap and will take up slack in a few weeks– right??.. Well we at least have atomic left right?—- WRONG – Atomic is dangerous (and endangers probably less than 5% of total people affected by “dirty” coal fired ones),– And coal plants have been cleaned up a lot in past few years)! Here the probelm is that atomic radiation poisoning shows up quickly, and if severe,- kills quickly… Carbon dust takes many years to become apparent, and many more usually to dehabilitate, or kill! Have to admit that atomic is vastly safer than coal! — But of course don’t expect it to become comon in near future! My advice buy a dehydrator so you can dry your food,– no electric,- very little “lPG referigerators avaliable,–because all the LPG available will probably be used and stored for heat in wintertime! – Or generate elecrtricity??- Grow as much as you can,- (get seeds now, before “quality food act in place- so you can’t buy seeds without permission)– Buy large plots of land – preferably out of town, but close enought to walk in! Now I have no idea how Government will make so much cultivatable land available, because it was all taken out of service when the machine/electronic age replaced the agricultural age Also “there is only so much land”, and the supply of people is unlimited! I have no idea how they will fix this one, but with “wise one” in power, I figure they will do something great— just as before! …. I have watched it all dissapear before my eyes in 72 years!

        • bob leavens

          i could be wrong. but as i remember years ago. mtb is hazzerd enough that one drop into 1200 gallons made undrinkable.
          as for sulpher content. ask yourself this. what country burns the cleanest gasoline. i can tell you its not anywhere in europe. maybe brazil. they burn 100% etanol. but it is just as dirty to burn as gasoline. etanol is unfriendly in cold climates too boot.

        • Richard

          MTBE did not cause high rates of cancer. It is not even classified as a human carcinogen. It causes nausea and dizziness upon exposure in fairly high concentrations which doesn’t typically happen. It was banned in California when it got into ground water from leaking tanks, which should have been repaired if California had enforced EPA regs for repairing the tanks. The leaking tanks and pipe were the problem, not the product. After much outcry, political posturing and congressional grandstanding, the product was banned in the U.S. It is still used almost everywhere else in the world. Replacing it has also made gasoline more expensive but no safer. You can thank California, congress and the EPA.

        • Scott

          The EPA does have its place. They need to concentrate on the mission of actual pollutants and not the ‘slight of hand’ smooth-talking horse puckey of the Manchurian President.

          We became isolationists during the Depression and that begat us WW@ and the EXPANSION of Soviet styled Communism across the globe.

          Anybody BUT Ron Paul! He beleives 9/11 is an inside job & doesn’t seem to care about IRAN’s threat! He may be a nice guy but I have a crazy Uncle like him who lives in the basement! JUST VOTE for whoever is running against OBUMMER & his czars…GET THEM OUT to start rebuilding OUR country or we are doomed!! Anyone else is better…we have to start NOW to reclaim the country we truly love!

          • Nadine

            OHH..plus…don’t beleive all the Media hipe, it’s gonna get nasty…stay focused on getting a New President…this is our last chance for survival & freedom! Don’t be swayed!!

          • Bob

            Ron Paul never said 9/11 was an inside job. Iran is a threat to who ? Not us, that’s for sure. Russia, and China are the most likely threats. Iran wants nuclear power to generate electricty, they are power starved. They can’t even refine their own oil to make gasoline. Our government and media has made many people paranoid over Iran building a nuclear bomb. I don’t trust our government or media anymore, they have lied to us so many times. 8 other countries already have nuclear power, are we going to bomb them also ? Your reasoning is sick, just like the media and our government.

        Carbon dioxide is not the problem true enough. Excessive amounts of Nox from burning fuel is a greater problem. The addition of corn alcohol into the mix is causing an uptick in Nox levels and that should be the true issue. Removing sulfur from fuel will help reduce pollution but like the article states it will cost everyone billions upfront. The EPA is not worried about high gas prices because as an environmental agency they support radical environmental issues and want the American people to drive less and use public mass transit over private vehicle transportation.

        With Agenda 21 taking over government policies we will see the EPA begin enforcing regulations that will begin to force people to move back to the major cities of the US to obtain work. We will see the government force people out of the countryside so that more land can be converted to wilderness and brought under government control. Fuel regulation is the first in many steps where the government will begin moving the people into major population centers centered around industry and the taking of private land to create their wilderness. So remember every step is just one more down the road where we will be forced to comply with government enforced living standards or face a future where people in the country will find fewer jobs, and our living standard will be reduced till we comply.

        Hydrogen is the fuel of the future. If we begin implementing a hydrogen program now, we can get off fossil fuels as our main source of energy, and prserve our right to live where we want and how we want. Government will enforce the EPS’s regulations unless Congress defunds the enforcement process. But don’t hold your breath.

        The Politicians in Washington D.C. already knows what the truth is but they all choose to lean towards where the big pay-offs are! Just like the EPA Scientist admitted a couple of years ago: “They were being paid off by thje Liberals to claim global. warming was a problem. All of the embedded politicians are full of SHIT and the public is being taken to the cleaners!!

        Yes, it is all a big scam by the libs and greenies. The wacky greenies think the world is about to end, and the libs are agreeing, so long as they can make money on it.

        Big Boor (Gore) had all his eggs in a row in a company set to take advantage of the carbon credit tradeoff thing. Other big libs were similarly set with investments in like-minded companies. So far, however, we aren’t biting the big one and running for cover because the “sky is falling”! With any luck, they will lose money at this pathetic attempt to cause mob hysteria.

    • Bugger

      The many knee-jerk reactions by Jim Laubscher and other jerks on this forum prove that we humans are evolving into narcissistic, planet-destroying slime – if it were not for the noble efforts by socially-minded, scientifically-thinking, intelligent human beings, who are trying to clean up our mess. A twenty-five cent increase in the price of gasoline would be a small blessing, when, as fact, the true cost to the human race for one gallon is somewhere around twenty dollars, and thus a truly responsible individual would be fostering a 6-fold increase in the price, with funds provided to assist in planet repair. Apparently, most the sociopaths on this forum don’t give a hoot for their children, grandchildren, and succeeding generations. For every dollar in damage we cause on this planet, it will cost a hundred dollars for repair, should some kind of repair even be possible. So go ahead, you numbskulls, fantasize all you want with evil visions describing the true heroes on the planet, and continue to prove that your solipsistic rants are acts of self gratification, no more useful than what teens do in the privacy of their bathroom.

We now have more than 600 billion. Do I smell the largest genocide known to man coming from you pin heads. Is that what the FEMA camps that can hold 100′s of thousands are all about? Is this why the food we eat now is saturated with chemicals that serve no purpose except to kill, dumb down and sterilize? Or why we are forced to eat genetically engineered corn that even worms will not touch.

          You flower children of the 60′s didn’t have a brain then and you do not now. Instead of sprewing your garbage you need to go give Al Gore and the closest tree a big hug and leave Mother Nature to care for our planet.

          Geocalorianity is nothing but a bogus religion invented by its “priests” to fleece the public. The Constitution requires that adherents of this religion be kept out of government if they cannot restrain themselves from trying to run the government according to their unscientific religious doctrines.

          I am amazed that some voters object to Romney partially on the claim that the Book of Mormon is historically untrue and therefore a “fraud,” but are willing to vote for rabid Geocalorian frauds and submit to their subversion of the government to that religion.

          “Worship Geocalorus and give his priests your money, or he will turn the earth into a burning hell to punish you for your “original sin” of exhaling CO2.”

        Why don’t you pay double the price to ease your concerns, then you will be one of the leaders in promoting the economic down fall of America.

      • Aniko

        Listen little Bugger: the planet doesn’t and NEVER needed your help to repair itself! YOU are calling others ignorant? Listen to yourself?

        Did you EVER read into planet geology, climate patterns in eras before humans existed? Did you know that nearly 90% of life-forms have gone extinct due to geological, climate and natural causes before man ever was around?

        Ever since mankind started to invent itself governments, those very entities did far greater damage to mankind than anything that man invented! Going as far back as the Greek, continuing with the Roman and the Vatican empires, unbridled thirst for power destroyed those they were supposed to lead AND themselves. To trust ANY of them to make decisions beneficial to the “greater good” were fallacies and that did not change till today.

        I am not afraid of us destroying the planet, but am afraid of the destruction that man can perpetrate against its brethren. THAT is the danger you should be afraid of!

Humans existed since the beginning, when God (not Obama) created the Universe just over 7000 years ago, which makes your statement in your second paragraph is completely false & it was the great flood that covered this planet that changed everything; as as for your nonsense about empires wouldn’t deserve an answer except your attack about a nonexistent empire: the Vatican. Where is it & what is it? This planet started to fall apart with the Industrial Revolution & with all of the hot air coming from our politicians, the lies & garbage being fed to our children disguised as education at ALL levels; the filth of pornography; “sex-education”; birth-control; abortion; homosexuality & the greed of man, for starters are some of the reasons for this planet to be so messed up. Oh by the way, just what did the Greeks do (or even the Romans (of course they hung Jesus on the Cross) for that matter to start this destruction that you are blaming on them? You sound just like Al Gore and Michael Brown, both idiots. +JMJ+

        Bugger, have you been sniffing some kind of noxious fumes….since birth.

      • Lanny Herlan

        Bugger, I survived 36 years without the Environmental Protection Agency, but the world as I know it has barely managed to survive another 41 years with it. You say the new sulfur regulation is a “small price to pay.” What about all the economic costs that have resulted from the agency’s previous rules and regulations and all the corporate expenses that will come from future rules and regulations–new dictates which are sometimes posted on a weekly basis. The only reason gasoline prices are at their present ridiculously elevated level is because the EPA resists all efforts to allow either offshore drilling or the proposed Canadian pipeline, and stalls such efforts by continually requesting taxpayer-funded environment study on top of environmental study, ad infinitum.

        Once the EPA discovered climate change (formerly global warming), they went insane with their new found power. This is not what Richard Nixon had in mind. The new agency was supposed to regulate public health and the environment based on laws already passed by the Congress. Now, we have 17,000 government employees and 27 laboratories designed to uncover anything and every thing that can be used to justify their existence. The EPA is regulating like liberal judges judge. Off the top of their heads.

        Consider the fact they only do basic research. They discover an environmental hazard and issue a regulation ordering its removal–a cease and desist immediately order. They do not research the economical cost of eliminating the hazard or the unintended future consequences which could result from their change order.

        One other thing, Bugger. Please do us all a favor and translate your confusing and contradictory statement and footnote the legitimate sources for it: “A twenty-five cent increase in the price of gasoline would be a small blessing, when, as fact, the true cost to the human race for one gallon is somewhere around twenty dollars, and thus a truly responsible individual would be fostering a 6-fold increase in the price, with funds provided to assist in planet repair.” Moreover, try to do it without the vulgar personal attacks on the rest of us.

        “Brainwashed” is a good word to describe your condition. You would be well advised to become an independent and start thinking for yourself.

        • Lanny Herlan

          I’m patiently waiting for your reply to my last post, Bugger. In the meantime, while considering your “small blessing” provided by the Environmental Protection Agency, let’s also consider the “small” costs of maintaining the EPA, financing its expansion and continuing to allow its administrators to run roughshod over America’s free enterprise system, as explained by DJ Redman on September 27, 2011 in Money, Opinion.

          “The Obama administration has already added a very large number of taxpayer-funded employees to the government payroll in the last three years, (379,000 in Obama’s first year alone here)…

          “…the latest big government expansion plot that was exposed in this article by Ben Howe over at RedState.com: EPA Calls Compliance With Own Law “Absurd or Impossible” and Requests 230,000 new Employees. We have to wonder how the Extreme Political Activists at the EPA came up with that number in their recently demanded increase of taxpayer funded government employees. Why not just round it off and ask for a quarter of a million new government climate change propagandists and business-bullies posing as ‘EPA regulators’ and assorted pencil pushers?

          “…these new jobs would serve the purpose of enforcing all of the new regulations under the Clean Air Act which was created by the EPA in 2009. So why are courts involved? Because the EPA is deliberately violating the very Clean Air Act they are intending to enforce.

          “…New Media Journal: ‘A federal court has sharply rebuked the EPA for exceeding its statutory authority. On May 26, 2011, Judge Richard Leon of the federal district court for the District of Columbia ruled that the agency’s regulatory process cannot trump a clear Congressional mandate, nor override judicial authority to compel EPA’s compliance with the law.’

          “…Mr Howe went on to cite how The Institute for Energy Research used sections of the EPA’s very own court brief in showing how ludicrous this big government expansion truly is, and the EPA’s own stated reasons for it, which included the following very informative tidbits: ‘Sources needing operating permits would jump from 14,700 to 6.1 million as a result of application of Title V to greenhouse gases, a 400-fold increase…Hiring the 230,000 full-time employees necessary to produce the 1.4 billion work hours required to address the actual increase in permitting functions would result in an increase in Title V administration costs of $21 billion per year.’”

        • D Fowler

          My comment above did not use a single ‘capital’ where not appropriate. It is not how a posting is written, rather the content and intent. You and your ideas have clearly been rejected…accept it. Your reference to those ‘wiggly’ things revels just how narrow minded and perverted you greenie nuts really are. Your divorce from reality and your belief that you are some sort of gods on this planet are no more than arrogance bred in sheer stupidity.

        Bugger, if you really want to clean up the planet why don’t you and all who think like you stop using all products made with oil, like gas, plastic, natural gas( a by-product of oil drilling), stop driving in cars, buses, trains, aircraft, they use oil, stop eating food transported by oil consuming vehicles, do not use electricity from coal fired power plants, stop using your computer because it consumes power and it is made out of plastic. Just think, if everyone who thinks like you did this, you could in your mind save the planet and then leave the rest of us to use less oil and drive the price down because all you planet savers will not be using anything made from oil. In turn ,driving down the demand on planet earth for oil. If you and everyone who thinks like you cannot do this to save the planet and your children, then shut the F*#k- up.

        • ET

          An all or nothing argument. How droll.

            Go one further Old Faithful. The man lies and cannot give a single credible source to his statement. The only oil that shows as exported is domestic production that is sent to Trinidad and other locations where American companies have built refineries (something the EPA shut down long ago). It is then reimported to the USA as finished products (gasoline, fuel oil, etc.). Not one cubic inch of natural gas is exported…there are no pipelines.

        And I guess the poor who live paycheck to paycheck will just have to suffer with public transportation since they will not be able to buy your gas???

        As I stated earlier hydrogen is the answer to our problem of an energy source that does not pollute. The problem is answering the question of, who owns the water that we will use to produce the hydrogen fuel? How will the government tax the money made from making the fuel? The oil companies are not moving quickly to begin a hydrogen energy program because the government has not answered the question, and until they do it is not profittable to make the change.

        The EPA likes its regulations and how they support the enviros need to destroy the oil industry. Pollution is their montra and if hydrogen was made the fuel of the future they would loose an issue in controlling the American people. I for one would start my own industry creating hydrogen fuel but regulation makes it impossible to startup a small company due to the funding necessary to meet them. So government wants to end pollution but regulate the industry to where it is too expensive to begin the process. Makes you wonder which side they are on???

          I agree that hydrogen is a good choice as a viable alternative fuel substitute but we are light years from making it a reality. It is an extremely volital gas and can explode on a dime. The infastructure to safely distribute hydrogen is also far into the future but our tax dollars should be going to this rather than greenie electric cars and windmills.

          Our best immediate alternative fuel source is natural gas (proven during WW II to work for the Germans) where we have more reserves than Saudi’s have oil. It would keep us independent for over 100 years or until the kinks in hydrgen fuel could be worked out.

We have no one to blame but ourselves, all your hootin an hollering won’t do a damn thing cause you won’t get up and march on Washington to take back our government and they know it , so save your breath and ride the wave to the end and we will see what’s next, maybe we will be chineese.

        • ldmstr

          First marching on Washington DC has gained nothing to those who have done it in the past. It is pressure form the American people on their local representatives that makes the difference. But since most people do not get involved with their local politicians other than voting them in, we will still have special interests running our government. Politicians never worry about constituents unless they have political power over them. Join your local Tea Party group or your local Republican group. Learn how the political system works and begin putting pressure on our representatives.

          We also need to force the issue of establishing a part-time government forcing them to return every 90 days to remain in their local districts working with their people to understand what the people want from them. Congress in the past was a part-time job. They only came together to work on important policies that affected all the people. But our government has become a full-time job because we allowed our government to be centralized in Washington DC were it is made easier for special interests to get their ear. If we dispersed the government back to the states and brought them together only when necessary we would have a more representative government and it would make it harder for special insterests to control Congress. Also making all elections publically funded would remove special interest money. Yes it will cost us some money to get them done but it would also cleanup our election process.

          The last thing to say is for Americans to get off their arses and vote. We gripe about our government and then do nothing to change things. We whine about our government representatives and let them be elected by others. And we whine how our vote means nothing but sit on it because the guy who won the nomination is not exactly what we want in a representative. We defeat ourselves and blame others. So get out there and vote for the representative you want as our nominee and then support the one who wins so we can defeat Obama. Other than that don’t conplain.

      You must of gone wild the news conference Channey and Bush had they both agreed that 500,000 $ was too exspensive for deep water automatic shut offs, just crazy for oil companies too spend, big oil just shouldn’t have to pay for those, fact check it’s real they said it very plainley, the gulf oil spill worst in history of the world, you should go to the gulf coast and make sure you talk up Bush years do the Bush Channey bumper sticker. Oh yea you might find those WMD’s

      • ET

        Yes, a Bush Cheney bumper sticker says a lot about what one wants to believe trumping facts. Big oil is not American. Just ask why Haliburton moved it’s HQ out of the USA. It was to escape prosecution as well as outsource American jobs and profits. You make some good points.

        • ldmstr

          I would guess it does not matter that Obama was in office when the spill happened and it was his oil rig monitors in the government that did not find the issues with the oil wells. But its OK to dump on Bush and his people because Obama could never make the mistakes Bush has made. Well maybe sending 50 billion to Brazil to help them build the very same deep water drilling wells that exist in the gulf of Mexico is OK because it down their where those people live. Its OK to build a solar plant that covers 10,000 acres of California desert destroying the habitate of the poor desert tortose because its your guys doing it.

          Oh and Haliburton moved its headquarters mainly to avoid the ever increasing taxes that your guy wants to place on industry like them. And did you now that it is cheaper to hire labor in the country that the contract is located rather than import American workers there. Being an international company you would hope they would hire locals to help support their local economy, I mean don’t we complain when our companies hire foreign workers to fill jobs Americans should be filling. Oh I forget what is good for the goose is not always good for the gander!!!

(at taxpayers expense).

    • Jerry

      Certainly, EPA is not concerned about pollution. (It is an enormous fraud. (95% of global warming gas is water vapour, only 1% of atmosphere is CO2 and from that 1% is only fraction created by people. So any EPA regulation, past or present has no meaningful effect on atmosphere. When volcano on Island blew up, it added about 5 years of pollution created by people on the planet, and when Pinatubo blew up, it created more pollution than population since first hominids started to walk on planet Earth) So why there is EPA and what are the goals? Just study Marx Capital and Lenin books. To establish revolution and communisms in industrial country, you have to get rid of the middle class (I am not going to burn your house when you can do that to me as well). Only when you have poor class against few rich, you are able to succeed. How you get rid of the middle class? It is easy. High taxes and high inflation. The time will take a care of it. So you see, EPA as the government department does not care about pollution. In reality, by increasing price it is helping to get rid of middle class. And that is their goal. The goal of Obama’s government.

      • ET

        Keep drinking your flavor of kool-aid and forget about the cuayoga river fire or Love Creek canal. I apologize if the name of the river is spelled incorrectly but the fact it caught fire from pollution the EPA then regulated into a safe water supply is still fact. Our air and water are cleaner today because of EPA rules and enforcement and it has created thousands of jobs that can’t be outsourced.

        • JMJ

          ET: the EPA has “created” thousands of jobs? Tell that to the thousands of people that are out of work because of this anti-American department and also tell that to all of us that now have to choose between buying food, paying housing expenses or trying to get medicine. You better get ready to run as you just might be tarred & feathered, if we could afford such luxuries. The EPA has COST thousand of jobs & has helped to increase the costs of just trying to live. When the lights go out because the coal mines (which Obama wants to get rid of) will have to shut down and you won’t be able to use your computer anymore, what will you do? Don’t light any candles as the smoke might get in your eyes!! +JMJ+

        • ldmstr

          Yes yes lets not forget the disasters of yesterday, but do we want to convert to the enviro economy overnight??? The EPA is becoming the boggyman for every industry in the US. Yes they protect our enviroment and protect us in the end, but getting to that level is what is important. Rather than pushing people out of business destroying jobs along the way, why can’t the EPA work with industry to make the changes over time??? Mining is a great example. The EPA wants to stop using coal as an energy fuel in electrical power plants, but are not helping industry make the change. They make the demands and then fail to provide a way to comply. Rather than destroying the coal industry and the jobs they provide, why not work towards a time where we convert coal into gas or fuel oil to use in more efficient power plants. Its the all or nothing attitude of the EPA that has them at war with the American people. The enviros who have taken over the agency see their time growing short where they can do as much damage as they can before Obama is defeated and they loose their support for the policies they are forcing down industries throat. Protecting the environment is fine, but destroying our economy while providing no solutions or support for creating those solutions is only going to further our destruction.

          I don’t want the EPA to be destroyed but do want them to work with those they are regulating, not trying to enforce an all or nothing policy that will destroy our economy in the end.

          • Old Faithful Geyser

            The irony of it all is that 9 out of 10 companies were owned by attorneys. Just another bunch of schysters out to suck your blood. This is the problem with all of these types of laws, they are made by people that are perpetuating their own agenda.

      LOL I bought a book years ago (at least two years prior to the UK email scandal exposing these political hacks for what they are) called “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming”. It’s a really good book to show who the players are, how they bullied many scientists into agreeing with global warming, etc. Anyone that read this book already knew that global warming is a scam in order to gain global power and collect money from morons, extort money and intimidate the business community and ruin the careers and reputations of various scientists and anyone that didn’t agree with their groupthink. It’s an easy read with lots of references.

      We need protection from the Environmental “Protection” Agency. They evidently feel no obligation to assess the economic impact of their regulations. That agency needs to be abolished, it is full of people who are power hungry and completely unaccountable. There are people who will have to choose whether to get the fuel to get to work or give up groceries for their kids – and the EPA could not possibly care any less about such details. The agency needs to have 99% of its power taken away.

    • American

      We HAVE to defeat obama , And i mean NOW !! Check this out and pass it around.
      Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.
      Few were listening .
      The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised “Meet
      The Press.”
      From Sunday’s 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST, Televised “Meet the Press” the then
      Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
      General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret.), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn’t follow
      protocol when the National Anthem is played.
      The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36,
      Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
      During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present
      (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag,
      with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, “Stand and Face It”.
      NOW GET THIS !!
      ‘Senator’ Obama replied:
      “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking
      sides…..” “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag
      is a symbol of oppression….” “The anthem itself conveys a war-like message.
      You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing.”
      (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
      Obama continued:, “The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less
      parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To
      Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we
      should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag
      to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to
      disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East
      Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the
      nations of Islam, where peace prevails – – – perhaps a state or period of
      mutual accord could exist between our governments ……”
      “When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities
      between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
      disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations
      of Islam, an unfair injustice, which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and
      she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past.”
      “Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the
      United States and I have put my hatred aside . I will use my power to bring
      CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look
      forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about
      to overwhelm the United States of America .”
      WHAAAAAAAT , is that???
      Yes, you read it right.
      I, for one, am speechless!!!

      EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEEDS TO READ THIS, KEEP IT GOING
      ! ! SAVE AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE ! !

        Thank you,American;I hadn’t read this,plan to try to get it on my e-mail so I can send to all.
        Saving America seems less possible with everything obama does;the Heritage Foundation FREEDOM INDEX last week puts the USA at #10!!We were #6 when obama was elected,the report said we are now #10 due to massive debt and increased regulations Canada is now #6 due to Federal corporate taxes being lowered to 15%. Free trade treaties now are 11 in force,and 14 under active negotiation. Their government now
        ENCOURAGES domestic energy production with market friendly
        regulations(Example;Keystone pipeline,if obama continues to block it,they will build a pipeline to export the oil to China.)
        Canada’s unemployment rate is 2% less that the USA,and they maintain their Triple-A ratings across the board.
        The USA corporate tax rate is 39.2%,second only to Japan!!
        your last sentence,SAVE AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!
        should be every American’s battle cry this election year!!

      Representatives of the Gulf Power Co. say that the EPA’s new global warming mercury emissions rules could result in the shuttering of three of its current coal-fired power plants and bring higher energy prices to consumers.
      According to Gulf Power official Jeff Rogers:
      “We won’t know what the impact will be until the new rules come out and we can actually evaluate them. But our feeling is that coal-fired plants would be at risk.”
      The new rules could cost Gulf Power up to $2.5 billion and other divisions of the company as much as $18 billion to comply. The 400,000 customers of Gulf Power would see their electricity rates go up.
      Gulf Power recently spent $500 billion to build a scrubber plant in Pensacola that removes 80% of oxidized mercury. The new EPA standard could be 90%. The new scrubber plant wasn’t built to remove 90%
      If the O’Bama administration is so concerned about mercury emissions, why are we being forced to convert to mercury filled CFL bulbs? These bulbs will end up in landfills where the mercury will leach into rivers, underground aquifers, and eventually into the food chain.

      It appears that the left hand doesn‘t know what the right hand is doing in this administration.

      • skay

        Actually they do know. It is filling their pockets!!!!!

      • ldmstr

        Actually they know exactly what they are doing. This follows their plan to destroy coal as an energy source. The EPA is enforcing regulations writen by the enviro lobby. Obama knows exactly how he will kill the coal industry through regulation. The American people need to vote these people out and the new Congress needs to re-write the EPA regulations dropping those that will destroy our economy. Congress needs to initiate a startup program of 50 billion dollars to establish the hydrogen economy within the next 10 years. If began early enough we can convert to hydrogen as our main fuel source for transportation and energy production and we will reduce pollution overall. Convert our cars, trucks and other combustion engine vehicles to hydrogen and we will see an increase in manufacturing jobs in the US to meet the demand. We will see a decrease in the import of oil from overseas as oil demand goes down, and oil production increases in the US.

        We should move away from using oil source products in producing goods for the US. Our clothing and about 90% of otherproducts use oil byproducts to manufacture the goods we use. We fail to recylcle these goods and loose the value we can regain through recycling. Our resources are sparse for certain raw goods and we need to initiate a full out program of recycling at all levels. This will increase jobs in the country while reducing landfill projects around the country. We will never totally get away from landfill use until we develope chemical recycling to its fullest.

        America has a history of leading the world in new discoveries and innovations excepted around the world. We need to get back to leading the world rather than following. Obama has allowed the world to dictate to us for to long and the American people need to vote him out and re-establish ourselves as the leaders of the world. One day there will be a “One World Government” and the United States better be leading it or we will just be another state within a state.

      In 2008 an attractive talented musician/composer used a part of her time on stage to

      entertained but instead get preached at by a socialist who wanted $9.00 per gal gas
      for America. She had made a 200 mile trip by car to come and perform. I told her that
      she should have had to make the trip on a bicycle and reminded her that even though
      it smells a little, America runs on gasoline. She later told me that she didn’t get any sleep

          Dear Guido
          Our life expectancy in America grows longer day by day. The
          left now wants “death-panels” to determine how long we should
          live!? We will all leave life on this earth at some point. If they
          drive us to a Russian or French style revolution an air operated
          guillotine would be most efficient. Two hundred and thirty plus
          years of success with hard work and capitalism has really pissed
          off the Euro-Socialist Mafia at us. We will have to fight back! Mankind just can’t take an excess of peace!

    • TrueAmerican

      I’m a product of apparently what people now call “unclean air”, and it hasn’t killed me. (And, I’m 82.) Radicals like you who believe CLEAN AIR and POLLUTION can kill are probably right if you stand where you are constantly inhailing all the pollution most of the time. However, let’s get real here: the EPA needs to be demolished, and the money that is spent “cleaning up” SOME PARTS of the pollution problem – NOT ALL, BUT SOME – should be spent educating our children in other areas such as science and math and feeding the poor. (No, I’m not one of the poor, but I do volunteer still in soup kitchens, etc.) And, it’s time to stop the waste of money just to be spending money on things that are felt to be issues by radical people who create these problems in their minds and try to impose them into the minds of others.

      • Anumber1

        Here, here and amen. The EPA is one of those agencies that should be abolished. Look at what they are doing to the couple in Idaho who wanted to build their retirement home on their lot in a subdivision inside the city limits. I hope they win their court case against the EPA.

        lol i can just seeyour response from this going out now lol how dare you to speak of truth,logic and common sense to themlet me add this.
        The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

          This is what is also called the DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA which began in the late 1960′s and has produced the Socialist Indoctrination Centers (Publice Education System). Fortunately I left High school in 1960 enlisted in the Army, finished High School in the Army and also Graduated College with a BS in Criminal Justice. I am now returning to College and plan of doing a study program in Political Science and American Government, This is mainly to ascertain just how scewed the Socialists have doen to our Constitutional Republic.

But that is their choice. Now I’ll admit some smokers are very rude about it and will blow smoke right out in the air. But if I don’t want to breathe their smoke, I’ll go somewhere else.

      • NancyJ

        Your comment, Dale, is the first intelligent one I have read.

        I agree. Let’s get rid of the EPA. The individual states can manage what goes on in their state. Maybe we can get this country going again if we get rid of these useless departments and that useless President.

        • Chuck Bushong

          Nancy, I agree with you 100% and believe that the Federal Government keeps taking away states rights that is contary to the constitution. The states joined together for a unified defense of each but maintained their right to control what went on inside their border, a main reason for the war between the states. The National government wanted control of it, hense the war.

          • http://www.paltalk.com/PatrioticConservativeAmericans Charles O McVey Sr SFC E7 USA Retired CO

            Eliminate the EPA Education Department, Health and Human Service, DHS, and the IRS go to a flat tax of 10% with no decuations, for both business and individuals. Likewise impose a two term service on the House and one term on the Senate in any politicians lifetime. Require that all laws be written in plain english and prohibit the twisting and subersion of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by the Judiciary. The Constitution was written so that anyone in 1787 with a Sixth grade education could understand it, (That would be the equivilant of a 9th or 10th grade education today-Remember the dumbing down of America).

        • Mary

          I agree Nancy,
          Let’s give the rights back to the states. We here in Texas can make our own rules about what to do and what not to do. We’ve done a pretty good job so far.

        • WILD DAVE

          States should run their own area without a peep out of DC. You know they BLACKMAIL the states by withholding funds if the states don’t behave. The main dingbat will also sue states such as Arizonia. We better take back our COUNTRY very soon or we will not have a country.

    • Dr. Evil

      Yes it does. And note that they are talking about lower “sulfur” regulations. Gasoline has very, very low sulfur in it already. As you get to the point of reducing the sulfur even more, it gets much more difficult. The way you would do it is to use a hydrotreating process that is expensive to build and uses a lot of energy. So, in trade off for lower sulfur, you get more CO2.

      • Omer

        Exactly so. They then would say they treated the fuel, and won’t, but will charge for it, anyway. More free money for the Gov’t.

    • bobby nealey

      Everything you said is true and even tho I like the idea of the electric car, only the very rich can afford them. Even if the cars were given to the middle class they can not maintain it the batteries cost to much and the average person would destroy them, let me make it just a little farther then I will charge them.You kill a new battery and most of the time they will not recover,that means new batteries and you can almost buy a new car for the price of the batteries. People now days won’t don’t know how to do the simpliest things heck most of them can’t even drive from what I see everyday out on the streets and high ways and others with the mentality they have don’t have any business on the road. They have people change the oil ,wash the car, just simple things.

      • Omer

        The real reason for electric cars is NOT to use less energy- They do NOT. The real purpose is to limit your ability to travel any distance, and limit that travel to cities- Higher population areas. Get ready to be moved into the New World Projects!

The only thing you can do is work your rear off to try to have something, then you pay the government to let you live there so you realy don’t own it; miss p paying your property tax and see and then you still don’t own it, your neighbors tell you what you can and can’t do with your property and what you can and cannot have on your property. I’m glad you have what you say you have and can live the way you want to I wish everyone could but the government and neighbors can’t keep their nose out of your business .

        • dcarpediem

          Not only is it okay to believe in God, but necessary, becasue we can’t accomplish anything on our own. We all have to do our part to contribute to the well being of everyone else. Our faith & our actions would be what it take to do what needs to be done. There’s a new book out now, “The Harbinger” that explains what happened in ancient Israel when God passed judgement on Israel, and points out the parallels to what is happening in this country right now. We’ve gotten too far away from the Christian foundations that this country was created upon, & need to get back to it. And for those who may think this country was not founded upon the principals of religious freedom, they need to do their homework & read the speeches of our forefathers, and maybe google the expression separation of church & state & see what it truly means, instead of translating it to make it mean whatever suits the present agenda. Mainly, we all need to work together to do our part, replace the current administration, with some folks who actually have the best interest of the people of this country at heart, and do ur best evrything going on the right path.

OK now the progressive,marksist, socialist, demacrats will they help and work with him ,NO they will not ,Ron likes America and wants to save it and they hate America and will do everything in their power to destroy it . If he does what I think he will; run on a third party ticket , then we are stuck with oblumer, not for four more years but till he dies of old age because that is all the time he needs to get his people in place of course we may not make it to this election .

    I pray that we get some sanity back in Washington, that’s why I’m supporting Ron Paul as much as I’m loathing the views of many people which give a different picture than is portrayed by the Lamestream Media, of which I’ll say at first appeared to be anitsemitic as I’m Jewish, but I can
    forgive any ill-intended or unintended slurs because NOW is the time when BEING OFFENDED is not an OPTION, because that’s a tool that the SOCIALISTS at 1600 Penn Ave use to their own

The one thing I know for a fact is that Ron or anyone else can not do any thing , if the congress and senate will not work with him .

    EPA brought to us by Dick Nixon,thru executive order, wasn’t it?

    • rp

      The EPA may have been brought into existance by Nixon, but at that time it was something needed to stop the toxic waste dumps from industry. The EPA has now become a bunch of tree-hugging, dope-smoking, gay-loving, pinko-Commies that use the power that they have given themselves to control and shut down as many indutries as they can. They will on one hand tell you that you can’t have a SUV, while they drive around in their Land Rovers. They will tell you that you can’t build a house on land you bought because at one time it had some water standing on it, because it is a wet lands. Reguardless of the fact there are no signs of water being there, such as cat tails, swampy areas, or any other signs that there are wet lands in the area.

        Grizz, In my opinion, “rp” has it right. There once was a good purpose for the EPA. Like many other programs that are still in existence within our government, they originated out of need for them. However, that’s part of our BUDGET woes now. We’ve not weeded out what we no longer need, because someone in power seems to not want to let anyone go and tell them there is not a need for their job any longer. Instead, we have just added more and more as well as funding more and more projects. It’s time we figure out what is truly GOOD and BAD for America. The real problem now facing us is determining which person as PRESIDENT can convince America and mainly CONGRESS that this MUST HAPPEN!! As a CEO of a former company, I’m telling you, it’s not going to be an easy task period – but with the “goof balls” we have in Congress who fight like children most of the time, it’s not going to be easy. All I care is that someone gets in BESIDES OBAMA. HE MUST GO!!!!!!!!!!

I had three,( a black woman, a mexican man, and a White man )come out and tell me that they could declare my property “wetlands” if I didn’t withdraw my complaint about the water “runoff” from the highway. There was no attempt to divert drainage from the acreage along that highway. All the better for government. That allowed the EPA to take it whenever they felt like it no matter how much the land was worth.

            “Very Interesting Bit Of Detective Work”

            1. Back in 1961 people of color were called ‘Negroes.’ So how can the Obama ‘birth certificate’ state he is ‘African-American’ when the term wasn’t even used at that time?

            2. The birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama’s birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama’s birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama’s father was born in ” Kenya, East Africa “. This wouldn’t seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama’s birth, and 27 years after his father’s birth. How could Obama’s father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the “British East Africa Protectorate”.

            3. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is “Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital”. This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called “KauiKeolani Children’s Hospital” and “Kapi’olani Maternity Home”, respectively. The name did not change to Kapi’olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

The clause that will hit and hurt every HOMEOWNER. The clause that will require a home seller to PAY a 3.8% “SALES TAX” on their homes! Yes, a brand new TAX brought to you courtesy of Barack Hussein and his cronies!
    Many of us can’t sell underwater homes now. Then add having to pay 3.8% tax on anything you can get from a sale! Also, you are required to have an inspection (at your expense) to prove your house meets Fed Gov’t Standards. Happy house selling.

    • Ray T

      You really need to read more, and speak less. What you say is about 99% false. The tax you refer to is much like a capital gains tax and would affect very few of the wealthy home sellers. First a couple would have to make over $250,000 before the tax would possibly kick in. Secondly the tax is on the profits (read capital gains) from the sale. Example: A couple making $250,000 sells their home for a whopping $600,000 PROFIT would owe $3,800 in additional taxes. So, unless you are in that class and can’t see yourself being able to pay $3,800 in taxes on your $600,000 profits, shut up, and quit believing all the spam chain letters.

      • Windrinker

        Ray, that house was built with money that had been taxed over and over. The house was built on land that was taxed at the purchase and every year after. The house was taxed every year, over and over, since it has existed….and, you think it is okay for the buyers to be taxed on the money that buys the house and it is okay for the owners to be be taxed at the sale! Then, you think that the past owners should pay an additional tax because they have more money that you do!!

        I just think that is a lot of frigg’n taxes that the government confiscates.
        I feel that things should not be taxed over and over, every year. At what point does taxes make “ownership” and “income” a liability.

  • Paul427

    Again, the US EPA makes laws which hurt the US economy in the name of their idol “mother Earth” without explaining what it is that they’ve linked to the additional 10 ppm savings on sulfur. I for one doubt their credibility and any so-called findings they
    promote, having worked with that organization on various environmental projects throughout the 1990s. Generally speaking, it’s an unimpressive collection of “professionals” some of whom appear not to care about embracing their so-called mission in a meaningful way. I watched them severely hamstring the “Superfund Innovative Technologies Evaluation” (SITE) program, apparently out of pure boredom with it…a program that could have gone on indefinitely to actively test and employ new technologies to clean up Superfund sites of all different types of media (soil, groundwater, air) far ahead of normal market implementation. Instead of making great progress in actual clean up, it seems to me that the EPA either intentionally or unintentionally slowed everything down, adding an entire extra layer of beaurocracy before allowing either one of the two competing SITE contract winners to begin immediate testing of new methodologies/technologies! This is why I could care less about what they think is a priority! They wouldn’t know real priorities from unimportant ones – only the ones which are politically desirable. With regard to real priorities, they seem inept. The whole group should be re-organized, their power stripped, and the current director fired. (In my opinion, the director should have been fired the day she promoted the notion of carbon dioxided being labelled a “Priority Pollutant”. Shame on these moron impersonators! Their actions seem more akin to rudderless, clueless, and obfuscating tree-huggers!

    • aschark

      Add it all up: no new drilling in the Gulf; no oil piped in from Canada; no new gas fracking; and now, raise gas prices. All EPA. Now, throw in a conflict with Iran, which may affect the flow of oil, and what do we have? A fossil fuel shortage, which will raise the prices some more? Now who does that affect the most? Try the middle class that Obama is trying to save (Maybe a rush to buy Chevy’s electric Volt? Oh wait, they’re all being called back because of a fire danger).
      Here’s another move by our Obama:
      he wants to reduce our Federal Government by asking Congress for more power to merge 6 Departments. That will eliminate duplicate jobs. Well, that sounds good, in fact, almost Republican, but let’s look into it: the Washington Times (2/10/10) reported that the average amount of Federal employees from 1981 – 2008 was 1.1 million. Presently, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (7/15/11) it’s 2 million, almost double since 2008, Nancy Pelosi says that 1000 to 2000 jobs will be eliminated and we can save 3 billion over 10 years. That’s good, too, but just how much stimulus money did it cost to create Obama’s almost 1 million Federal jobs? It worries me when President Obama asks for more “power,” and Nancy Pelosi seconds the motion.

      • bullrider

        If Obama’s ‘reduction’ saves 1000 jobs and saves $3 Billion then that means each job reduces will save $3 Million. If it saves 2000 jobs then each one saves $1.5 Million. How is that possible? Even Obama hasn’t been paying federal employees that well.

        More smoke and mirrors for those who don’t look past the tip of their nose, and just want the lollypop that dangles over the abyss.

    The EPA, “Where everyday is Earthday,” primary objective is to make rules to secure, as they see it, a clean environment. So, they make rules to do so but don’t have to consider any of the consequences of those rules or the cost to tax payers. They completed their job objective simply by just coming up with a new rule and implement it and levy fines for the companies and individuals who don’t follow their latest ruling. It will not stop until the EPA is brought to task ti stop this mode of operation.

    I agree with a lot that Ron Paul believes except for his foreign policy. The main problem with Ron Paul is that he is too old and looks too old.

        The Islamic Jihad declared war on the United States back in the days of the Carter Administration! Where have you been since then? Ron Paul makes about as much sense as electing a Hermit Crab for president. He is just the other polarity of Obama on the same battery! Two opposite delusionalist…each to the other extreme!

      BRAD HARRIS is right about the GOP and their ‘youth fetish’…supporting only those that LOOK GOOD vs THOSE WITH BRAINS and can think clearly. REAGAN WAS 70 WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE OF POTUS, not 61. Too bad people never learned YOU CANT JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER, but since we’re in the ‘social engineering/behavior modification’ stage, it doesnt matter how dumb or ignorant you are, as long as YOU LOOK GOOD and can MOVE YOUR LIPS, albeit….LIES, that doesnt matter either.

    When I was a young buck, before most of you were born, I was taking flying lessons in Lexington, Mo. On a solo cross country to Mexico, Mo. in a Aeronca 7AC the line boy toped off the airplane and said “Damn this gas is getting expencive, every time you fill up it blows hell out of a five doller bill.”

  • JackR

    Nearly all the government agencies are unconstitutional. Now Obama is wanting to make them a little less visible by burying them/their actions (consolidating) in the midst of even bigger government departments. Starting with the EPA, these agencies should be dissolved/eliminated.

    I’d rather live a good life in a polluted environment for fifty years, than die like those in Ethopia/elsewhere in the world in five years or less suffering from starvation. The real world (except for their tourist zones), is a very ugly and cruel place. Globalists seek to create an America in those countries image…. that way a small group of elite can have absolute power, control, and capture all the wealth. We need to vote out all the globalists and replace them with constitutionalists…before it’s too late (if not already).

    • SweetOlBob

      Those in Ethiopia, and all the Arab countries have had centuries to develop a better life by electing people who would do something besides enrich themselves. They let themselves be governed by Kings, Tyrants, and Despots. They still do. Some live in terrible poverty on purpose. I am asked to give up what I have worked for in order to support them when generations of their people did nothing to improve their own existence. NO !

    • Windrinker

      Jack, you are exactly right about the centralizing of government. It is much easier to “hide and keep secret” what is happening in government when all the agencies are under one roof. This is another blatant “power grab!” Centralizing all these agencies into one large government conglomerate, is a threatening move by the regime!

      It is another big step in the “hostile take-over” of our Nation.

      • memurphy

        If obama truly wanted to eliminate agencies,he should start with his 40 czars and their staffs,(accountable to no one but obama!) After his recent “recess” appointments when the Senate WAS NOT in recess;the Congress should laugh in his lying face,not give him any more power.He has repeatedly bragged about not waiting on Congress , can the Democrats not see his destructive actions!

    • Windrinker

      Larry, the worst thing we can do is to “underestimate” our enemies. They are not “morons.” They are very adept at their job of taking control of this country and they have not been “challenged.” The fact that the people have not “challenged” them is to their credit, being very accomplished, evil manipulators.

  • http://none Charles W. Meadows

    It is apparent that the Obama administration is out to destroy the United States and the Constitution. With the EPA (European propaganda Administration) and with help from the United Nations they have effectively ignored the constitution by implementing rules that tend to destroy the foundations this country was founded on. Laws that are illegal have been legislated from the bench of inept judges that should be fired. Any judge that sites an opinion based on european law should be fired immediately. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the only guideline that should be used in making decisions. The education system has been so destroyed by liberalism and our history so changed that the children no longer know how this nation was founded. The American People need to wke up to what is going on.

  • Eric

    I am not happy with any of the canidates right now, and not sure which to back, but one thing I am very sure of is regardless who wins and who doesn’t, I will not let my vote go to waste and let Obama win by default. We all need to back a new government whether or not you like Ron Paul, Newt, etc. This will never end if because the one you back did not make it and now I will go into my corner and sulk and not give my vote. I will live with whatever happens and bitch and complain after the fact. “BS” Get out there fight for your canidate, but remember these are just battles, and the War is the main objective, so get out there and campaign againts those that support the current President. I KNOW I WILL.

    The Senators urged the EPA?where are the “backbones “with these Senators,they should shut down the EPA,de-fund it,so far the regulations are from our loser President Obama,he thinks he alone can stop pollution,do we have a wall around America?,no, there are countries like China and Turkey who spew tons of smoke into the air and it blows in the wind to us,but he wants to blame Americans so he can cripple us with regulations and then he wants us to vote him back into office so he can destroy us more for four more years,vote him out or we’re doomed!!

  • Steve Rhinehart AKA Peter Propwash AKA Rufes Macgoofis AKA Outlaw Aviator

    This comment has nothing to do with the price of gas except to point excessive regulation.
    I have a copy of CIVIL AIR REGULATIONS 1043 edition, It has seventy pages including charts graphs and pictures to explane the regs.
    The latest copy I have in book form is 2007. it contains 326 pages of regs,and then a secound section called the Airmans information manual to explane the regs, For a total of 704 pages.
    Now I can not deny we need more regulation today then we did in 43 but let me ask you, dose excesive regulation create more safty. confusion or expence.

  • Stephen Lord

    The Federal EPA should be shut down and environmental regulation left to the states who already do it anyway. This is more unnecessary duplication and infringement on States rights with no benefits to clean air or water. The minor cross state border pollution issues could be addressed by multistate compacts and the Commerce Department. Use the savings to cut the debt.

    Ya gotta love it, when things go bad “representative and senators from both sides issue a letter”. OH NO!!! NOT A LETTER!!! Come on folks. Who does the EPA answer too? Who provides the funding for the EPA to function? You don’t “write a letter” (they do the same things with their letters as our senators and representatives do), you tell them how it’s going to be or they get not one thin dime of funding. Pure and simple. And in this case, they will get the support from the entire population (except the media but who listens to them anyway). I have never in my life seen such a gutless congress. Might as well disband them, Obama goes around them every chance he gets, and not one else fears/listens to them anyway.

  • Karl McGaugh

    Every federal department should be no more than 10 people. Their ONLY job would be to monitor, gather data, and “advise” the cabinet. They should have absolutely NO control over anybody. Their function is NOT in the constitution and thus have no say, other than advisement. Data gathering, monitoring only!!!! Then, if they didn’t even do THAT job well, they should be shut down. Congress and the president do need actual facts. They cannot do their jobs right with incorrect data. That’s what we have now, a long string of federal lier’s all pushing their own agenda on up the line with the hopes they can get done what THEY want, not what America needs.

    Lets assume everything the Greenies say about Global Warming is true and soon all our cities will be flooded as the Ice Caps melt due to rising CO2 levels. In that case, shouldn’t Environmentalists be backing these three proposals:

    1) Why not build levees around our costal cities? Us folks inland will donate the dirt and broken concrete from our construction projects. The Government only has to pay to have railroads (the cheapest form of land transport) haul it to costal cities. And then you guys dump it out wherever you think best until your cities are protected by levees 300 feet high and a thousand feet wide. You can cover them with grass and trees and on the ocean side have a nice sandy beach and you can line the top with a bunch of windmills.

    2) Why not plant a tree that will take in carbon dioxide in the corner of every parking stall? Nobody parks within a foot of the corner of the parking stall anyway. In the winter when the parking lot is covered with snow you’ll still be able to see where the parking stalls are at. In the summer you’ll be able to park your car in the shade and instead of a blazing hot trek across an oven-hot parking lot you can enjoy a nice stroll in the shade watching squirrels scamper and listening to the birds singing in the trees and you wash your car every week anyway.

    3) Why not plant vines in planters outside the window of every skyscraper? These will restore the green environment lost to the city and the vines will take in CO2 from all the cars on the street and so stop air pollution at it’s source.

    Do feel free to copy these proposals and post them elsewhere. For some reason Liberals freak out about these practical, perfectly reasonable, commonsense solutions and call them the stupidest things they ever heard.

    • Bruce Air Force TACP

      They know that if these things go into affect where would the EPA be? How could they hire thousands if they can’t show that there’re needed,and how would the ,as Sean Penn and parents say “We,re not communist,we’re Democrats” do to bring the country down.

    I do construction and the EPA has its claws in our business too. They passed a law requiring builders to become certified and licensed to do any type of remodeling or repairs on older homes from 1978 and earlier due to the possibility of lead paint being present. This is a cost of several thousand dollars investment due to the required equipment to contain the lead paint dust. This is known as the LRRP Act… If a builder doesn’t cross the t’s and dot the i’s, it can cost LOTS of money in fines, upwards of $35,000 per infraction. It has put a stop to lots small construction firms doing construction on older homes. It is just a tax that they put out there to get more money out of our pockets. This is probably not important to most of you, but I just wanted to show another way the EPA is infringing on our lives.

    We, Us, the Taxpayers who pick up the tab for all the nefarious mischief that goes on in the White House, Senate and Congress need to focus in on what the benefits of drilling into our vast deposits of Oil and Natural Gas would do for our National fiscal health. This drilling need
    not be in difficult off shore areas. Right this very minute drilling is going on in several North Western States in preparation for the much needed Pipe Line to carry crude oil to Texas and Louisiana for processing into Petro Chemicals and Fuel.
    Cashing in our proven billions of barrels of Oil and Gas would create hundreds of thousands of profitable jobs for Drillers, Pipe Line Workers, Refinery Workers, Export Revenues from sales of surplus crude oil to a Power Starved world of anxious buyers.
    This financial windfall would provide the $ $ $ to repay our incredible tab to China.
    If what stated above is factual, (and it is); why then are we continuing to pay top dollar prices for crude oil from folks who hate our National Guts that are half a World away.
    The answer is plain and simple, it is Barack Obama and His use of the EPA, DOE, Sierra Club,

    When the EPA enforced new sulfur standards on diesel fuel in 2007, my cash cost per mile of operation increased by 35%. This was due to a combination of the increased cash cost of fuel, now $0.50 per gallon higher, and the loss in efficiency of the fuel, translated into lower miles per gallon. The EPA needs to be severely neutered… With a chain saw!

    I think there is a consensus in the comments above mine – EPA, as most Federal and State Agencies (Beuraucracies) have nothing to do with ‘Protecting us from anything’, their “Science is flawed”, the only thing they are protecting is their Own Back End, and to extract Billions of dollars from the public, but that is the purpose of the majority of Government Agencies put it mildly!

  • http://www.newsandopinions.net Bill Stanley

    The EPA and environmentalists do not care about the cost of any regulation … they only care about trying to get a perfect environment. As soon as the 10 parts-per-million regulation is implemented, they will start working on one forcing 5 parts per million.

    Ron Paul has the right idea. Get rid of the EPA. They do nothing but hurt this country. Look what it is doing to the folks in N Dokaota.

  • Sutekh

    The current purpose of the EPA is to support the Obama agenda.

    The Obama agenda is simple: loan huge sums of cash to “green” start up industries owned in large part by Obama donors. Then raise the price of gas to force Americans to purchase goods and services from these businesses — not to recover the Treasury investment for the taxpayers, but to make a huge profit for the donors. (who, of course, will be very grateful.) The only “green” in so-called Green industries is the billions in federal grant money lining the pockets of the owners of these industries — after these shell companies go bankrupt. I suspect Obama’s favorite movie is the Zero Mostel version of “The Producers.”

    If the price of everything goes up due to fuel costs, that will just make everyone poorer and more dependent upon the government. And, of course, protestors dependent upon public transportation to get to a site to protest Obama’s policies can’t get there if the buses and trains are deliberately shut down for “public safety” reasons. Turning off the phones and shutting down the bus lines was an old trick in Communist Poland to help “curb unrest.”

    The EPA’s claimed reservations about sulfur are decidedly hypocritical. An organization spawned in Hell and staffed by demons and the damned can’t possibly object to a little sulfur.

    Here we go,rant time. The cost of a barrel of oil that is not 55gals any more since the first gas crunch back in the 80s goes up in the SAND BOX market in Africa. Why should it jump in our country with our own product we produce and export fuel. The price does not go up at the pumps in Mexico or Venezuela or Australia. ?? And yes the govs do own the first two. Now as for the gas and diesel. The gov of America has come up with a way to tax and offset the fuel MPG to make it less efficient to get less MPG per gallon by adding bio and alcohol to the fuels.You have to buy more fuel to get the miles you would get WITHOUT IT, Keeping the tax coffers up there. Even tho we have more cars the better MPG has offset the gallons used in the US and it is said that 40% of the people do not pay fed tax,fuzzy math again,tax on gas,fed and state phone bill ,fed and state. On and on they tax. The EPA has forced the Fuel Companies to change the makeup so that even the shelf life has been cut 60%or more never mind what happens to the motors when it sits around and gums up and breaks down the works. Ask any mechanic, like it was back in the early 80s when they put Alcohol in the gas ,at 3 dollare subsidised and 4 dollars taxed as ATF tax to produsers, but nobody noticed for they were changing to NO LEAD and how many years did it take for Child lead poisoning to just START to go down over ten years kiddies. How many cars are left around running with the original motors during the no lead change over, what a wind fall for the mechanics and car dealers remember……. Now our gov is keeping out HIGH MPG cars for the real reason ,fuel tax and the Half American made parts Cars produced in America.WE now have 12 to 14% of the car market today,That was what it was in the 70s of the foren Car sales sold in America.

  • Old Sarge

    If you will go back and look at the promises made by the President before the election, you will see that this is one of the many he is keeping. He said that in order to fund research for alternative energy, gas and utility prices would have to go up. There is proof of that in every gas station you pass. Have you checked your gas, electric and water bills lately and compared them to what you had to pay in 2008? You can bet the farm that money isn’t going to fund alternative energy research. The voters were not listening to that. All they heard was the promise of better things, change, affordable homes for everyone and all the things voters wanted to hear. They got so caught in the frenzy of change and making a historical first that the other things he promised were ignored. Now gas prices will go up but still not to fund research for alternate sources of energy. It all comes down to the one thing I have been saying for a long time. We need more people to vote. If you want to keep your mindless entertainment, your homes, peace of mind and be able to get in your own vehicle and go on those vacations or take leisurely Sunday drives, you have to get off dead center and vote. Apathy put Obama and his followers in power and apathy will keep them there for another four years. Martial law is just a scare tactic. He doesn’t need it. There will be an election in November and he will win because apathy will play a major part in securing that win and he knows it. The only thing that will worry him is if apathy starts to disappear and a great increase in voter registration starts to grow. Perhaps then you will see things happen to give him an excuse to declare Martial Law and postpone the election indefinitely. WAKE UP AMERICA! APATHY IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR LIBERTIES AND FREEDOMS. NOT OBAMA.

    Wake up America! How did we get to where we are today? Or maybe I should say where we were 10 years ago. We got there through sacrifice! No industry that produces a product is perfectly clean or “green”. If people knew the by products of manufacturing photo cells, they would run and hide.

    As in any other large industry, fracking has problems but those problems can be solved. Many thousands of jobs can be created. We can become energy independent and stop the transfer of unbelievable wealth from America to the stone age countries that want to cause us harm.

    Industry runs on energy. We can not run our industry when the cost of energy is as high as it is today. Most Americans today have to make decisions around the cost of fuel; Can I buy fuel and take the family on a short road trip or spend the money for food or clothes?

    America needs higher gas prices as much as General Custer needed more arrows. I hope everyone remembers this in November when we all get a good chance at removing Obama and his unaccountable czars. While having environmental standards is good, the regulations have to make sense and not based on junk science. That means Congress AND the president have to be accountable for what happens under their watch. Over the years I have noticed one side of the aisle thinks the EPA is the greatest thing since sliced bread and it isn’t the Republicans. Do your homework and if your reps vote along with the EPA and the environmental Nazis, vote for the other guy!

    • Old Sarge

      My Representative and Senators keep voting with the Administration and EPA as they have for many years. They keep getting elected because they also work very hard to keep those food stamps and welfare checks coming. They know where the votes are and what side of the bread their butter is on. They aren’t going to worry unless a record number of new voter registrations start to appear. Unless that happens apathy will keep them in office.

    ETHANOL is a FARCE and a SCAM perpetrated by the former Senator from N.D., Tom Daschle, who just happens to have the most control over it’s production. It greatly increased the price per gallon of gas. Ethanol required the reformating of onboard Computors to keep our engines running properly. It has raised the price and shortages of Corn for domestic and feed use. It harms engines and lowers milage. ABOLISH its use. Florida has started this action ( which suddenly fell silent) and already the pundits are saying it will raise gas prices. FALSE! It should improve and lower production costs.

  • MSGT JOHN CORREA

    I can fully understand the need for a clean environment, but never under the control of the federal government where the power of corruption would exceed the cost at the expense of the people. Individual States of the Union should have the responsibility to control their own environment as a health safety measure and at a minimal cost to the people.

    In accordance with the U.S. Constitution’s Tenth Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    This provision makes it clear that the fedreral government is limited to certain specific powers. The federal government can only do what the Constitution says it can do, but the states and the people thereof can exercise any powers not prohibited in the Constitution. The state government are forbidden to act only in cases where the power to act has been placed in the federal government.

    There are many areas in which the federal government has over-stepped their bounderies, solely for the control of every individual’s right to govern themselves and the control of their own enterprises as well as individual states’ rights.

    The federal EPA is only one step away from gradually loosing your liberties and freedom as that of individual States of the Union’s own rights; a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Tenth Amendment.

They don’t mention the environmental impact of all the lead and acid used to make these batteries when people randomly dump them either.

    To me,the Declaration of Independence,is the most important document in our history.The Constitution was created to defend and foster that document,making sure that the liberties expressed in that document will remain for “We the People”.Please notice that in that document,when ever the government ceases to be for the will of the People,it is the DUTY of the people to abolish that government by ANY MEANS POSSIBLE.I don’t think our founding fathers would have thought that punching a keyboard would be akin to any means possibleAs Jefferson said’”rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God”So,what is it be?Consent of the governed?Since we all know that elections are rigged and riddeled with fraud,little confidence should be given to them for protection from tyranny.However,armed conflict should be a means of last resort.Let us have this election,see who is elected,then decide.If there is considerable fraud,then rebellion.But,the most important elections are for congress.They have been mandated to represent us,not thier political parties,or special intrest groups,or money.They are supposed to speak for us,”We the People”.I am sick and tired of politicians speaking of change.If this,our country is the greatest country on earth,why do we want to change it.The ONLY president in my life time that did not want to change this country was Reagan.The best prsident?No.But he brought our spirit back,after four years of Jimmy Carter’s shame.We don’t have a Reagan now,so it is up to us.Watch the elections closely,and do it with a weary eye.The time for holding your nose and voting should be over.Stop thinking about political parties and start thin king about,”We the People”

    Sulfur has already been reduced in gasoline to next to nothing. The EPA is eeking to reduce it to nothing. the problem with that has to do with the Law of Diminishing returns. The cost to reduce it further is far greater than and benefit obtained for doing so. The same resources – money- that would be spent reducing this last remaining sulfur in gasoline would be far more beneificially spent elsewhere that would reduce carbon consumption by far greater quantities. One such expenditure would be building a rebreeder plant to recycle spent nuclear fuel rods. If you recycle the fuel rods, you don’t have to store them. You solve the bulk of the storage problem by recycling the fuel rods. This also reduces the cost of new fuel rods and lowers the cost of production of electricity. Simple market forces explain that the more abundant and the cheaper electricity is, the less we would use carbon based energy. It’s a no brainer to any but the anti-nuke crowd.

    • ET

      A thought provoking analysis.

  • Bill

    The EPA, along with just about every government regulation agency does what they are lobbied to do by the corresponding corporate interests. When you hear an industry replying to consumer complaints about rising prices by blaming it on government regulations, you can be almost certain that that agency is covertly acting in the interest of the corporation being regulated. Most of the time this boils down to mnaking regulations so stringent that any potential competition to the existing big boys cannot afford to get started.

    It is not only the EPA and agencies like it which need to be banned. State sposored corporatism needs to be banned and we need a return to real free market enterprise where true competition will force the industries to cater to consumers rather than controlling them by eliminating choices.

  • Anonymous

    WHAT?!! This has got to stop, and now!!

  • ET

    Speculators are the driving force of all commodity prices, including the price of gasoline. The EPA proposed regulations are focused on a real problem that has many competing answers. Finding the right mix of alternatives is a trial and error process. The EPA has proven itself valuable time and again in protecting our water supplies and air quality and in creating jobs to meet industry requirements. If you question that then ask manufacturing companies who are still located here because the water supply is free of many pollutants that would make their production impossible in other less regulated locations. Meeting regulatory requirements can create real middle class jobs instead of the fighting of regulations which only benefit wealthy law firms.

    This is a choir. To reaffirm the Constitutional freedoms takes a new Pres, top leadership. To get that means more people have to vote than just those who are in the choir. WE all must change the vote of one who was Obamboozled and make certain they stay angry and not repeat their mistake. You see, with 50% of the people wanting socialism now we have an enormous fight. There are legit entitlements and then there are all the rest. Of that 50%, maybe 10% of these can be saved if they can be turned.

    It’s hard talking to an Obamite because some spew propaganda based on profound ignorance. Makes you want to slap them to clear their heads. I’d suggest you not waste your time on these true believers. Work on the ones who show some signs of intelligence and open mindedness. The true believer social fairness/progressive/socialists will follow the Fascist Obama because he appeals to their selfishness and makes it sound like “fairness”. They are useless voters but they can re-elect that long legged mac-daddy unless we secure the edges of Obamas voter base.

    Then, every one of you in the choir must vote and not just “talk big and angry”. You have to go vote and fill your car with others who will vote but are lazy bastards who just talk big on sites like this.

    There is way to much violence in some of these comments. Ok after saying that, I’d like to say this about the EPA, They have way to much power. Nobody on earth should have the power they have. The EPA is the biggest reason why construction projects are either running slow or behind, and when that happens, the company has to stop and refocus their schedule in order to make up the time, if possible. It appears that the EPA are involved in everything on this planet. Now, the EPA has it’s place, but they need to be held responsible for everything going up in price that they get involved with. When that happen’s, the EPA need’s to be the one to have to pay the defraying cost of the job or product that has to be re-evaluated, and if that happen’s, I believe that will stop them from getting carried away, and to be more resonable.

    What good is the Congress and the Senate if they can’t stop Bureaucrices from doing what they want. Who runs the Country, the Bureaucries or the Congress and the Senate. But we must not foreget that the brillent barins of the Congress ave the power of the Bureaucries to by pass them and the Constitution. In other they are their own Government which cannot be stopped from doing anything they want even iof ti hurts the American Citizens as long as it doens’t hurt the enemy of this Country.

  • Steven H

    Whenever a company wants to build, they must have an environmenal impact report, so why does the EPA, whenever they add a new regulation, be required to have an economic impact report. The House/Senate should be able to reverse the epa regs if they have just cause.

    We need to eliminate OBAMANISM, the EPA, the so-called Dept. of Education, & in fact, we need to get rid of most of the departments that are draining the life out of our once great country. Get rid of all of Obama’s czars, reverse every bill & illegal law that he has come up with; send the fraudulent democrats (& phony republicans) packing (without pensions, etc.) to Red China, which is still our very dangerous enemy (they very well could take over America without a shot being fired) for starters. Give us back our country & send every anti-American back to where ever they came from (including the lawyers, the ACLU & judges that are giving these hate groups special rights. +JMJ+

    This is a prime example of giving a job of authority to an IDIOT that has problems spelling EPA. This is just another LACKEY doing Obamas bidding to bankrupt the working class citizens of this country in an effort of wealth redistribution. This doesn’t cost the Welfare Queens a damn thing, but the people that work for a living and depend on their own transportation will spend more just to get to work.
    This is government run amok.
    Remember how the lack of fuel cost the German Army during WWII? well this is going to happen right here in our own country. This SOB that lives in the White House is going to close off the fuel supply to the average citizens in this country by making it too expensive for us to buy. It will also cause a ripple effect across the whole country in increased cost of transportation on everything, the loss of car sales (nobody needs a car that you can’t afford fuel for) and the list goes on and on.
    Another SMART move by our fearless leader, so just remember when it comes time for the next election of just WHO cost us this High price of everything.

    If Senators and Congressmen from both sides of the fence are that concerned about raising the price of a gallon of gasoline to the American public, then they can always pass a law reducing the Federal tax on that gallon of gasoline equal to the increase in cost in producing an environmentally safer gallon of gasoline. If Senators and Congressmen are that concerned about the American public and or the environment, they have the ability to take care of both issues. But they won’t. Vote them all out and start over, every election.

    That what EPA. Tree hugging Environmentalist is all about = MONEY, AND MORE MONEY out of the tax payers pockets. That why they won’t issue Drilling permits or let coal burning power plants use air scrubbers to clean the AIR. WASHINGTON has done better at raising prices in energy then all Company’s put together. Everything goes up around energy because this Country moves on wheels. Take all the trucks off the road and see what happen. The GOV. has done everything they can do against the trucking ind. THE GOV. PUMPS MONEY IN THE RAILROADS AND ALL THEY DO IS FAIL If you want to ship something and don’t want it to get there send it by rail and no one will ever see it again.

    The EPA doesn’t work for the good of the American people…they work for Obama, the socialist/Marxist, and let us not forget the yuppie tree hugging liberals. I am on a fixed income, not by my choice, but by health reasons and I am so sick of hearing the plight of the “middle class” in this country. I don’t remember anybody telling me I was owed anything by anyone when I came into this world. The bottom line: the EPA couldn’t give a crap about anything but their agenda and I hope if we ever have a president with guts and conviction, he would see fit to put the EPA on the department chopping block pronto!

  • Pingback: New EPA Rules to Raise Gas Prices 25 Cents a Gallon | Posner Politics

  • Wayne Peterkin

    Of course they will raise prices. That’s the whole purpose. Obama and the EPA want to jack up energy prices to force people to quit using as much energy as possible. They are saving the planet, don’t you see? The fact that consumers are hurt by their policy doesn’t matter. The fact that businesses are also hurt and jobs lost doesn’t matter either. The fact that the economy will be damaged further doesn’t matter. When you are a dedicated ideologue as Obama and Lisa Jackson are, who gets hurt by nutty policy doesn’t matter. They really couldn’t care less.

    We have become fat with greed to see our own toes in America.

    Ron Paul is a very highly intelligent person. You have to listen-digest and use your brain to fully understand his statements. However, his policies seem simple in context. He is fine with war if it’s a true war and not spending needless monies. He states if you are going to have a war have a war, get it over with, and come home. Stop nation building with or for people who hate us. The bomb is not such an enormous issue when numerous others countries are allowed to have numerous bombs. Its ultra common since most times. He is not a groomed actor / Politician type per se.

    : Pam’s story

    In a recent email, I read about a woman named Pam, who knows the pain of considering abortion. More than 24 years ago, she and her husband Bob were serving as missionaries to the Philippines and praying for a fifth child.

    Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in contaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and was treated with strong antibiotics before they discovered she was
    pregnant.

    Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety and told her that
    the medicines had caused irreversible damage to her baby. She refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians
    predicted. Pam said the doctors didn’t think of it as a life, they thought
    of it as a mass of fetal tissue.

    While pregnant, Pam nearly lost their baby four times but refused to
    consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband: If you will give us a son, we’ll name him Timothy and we’ll make him a preacher.

    Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and
    eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy August 14, 1987. Pam’s
    youngest son is indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital visits, and serves with his father’s ministry in the Philippines. He also plays football. Pam’s son is Tim Tebow.

    The University of Florida’s star quarterback became the first sophomore in history to win college football’s highest award, the Heisman Trophy. His current role as quarterback of the Denver Broncos has provided an incredible platform for Christian witness. As a result, he is being called The Mile-High Messiah.

    Tim’s notoriety and the family’s inspiring story have given Pam numerous opportunities to speak on behalf of womens centers across the country. Pam Tebow believes that every little baby you save matters.
    He’s being mocked and ridiculed but he keeps bending that knee!!!

    These guys are idiots if they think it will only raise gas by 25 cents. With Obama and his policies gas will probably go up to $5.00 per gallon.
    Under the Obama regime energy prices have doubled and they continue to rise. Big whoop a $40 tax break that further makes Social Security a faster dieing failure how about getting gas and energy prices back to a reasonable price. I would have $500.00 a month more for my family to spend if it weren’t for Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

  • Dora

    Get rid of the EPA, the crooked politicians, the lobbyists, anyone in government who has an interest in oil companies and the citizens get their heads out of the sand and take control of the USA, remember what our ancestors fought and died for; and remember the Declaration of Independence and the constitution. We as citizens are allowing this to happen to us. There has to be a true honest American somewhere who will put the good old USA above any personal gain and bail us out of the mess we are in.

  • grizzlie

    I only see the EPA as an arm of the Machiavellian agenda being promulgated by the Obama administration. In the Progressive’s war on fossil fuels they have overlooked one important truth. We do not have a viable alternative at this point in time to fossil fuels (natural gas, fuel oil, gasoline, and coal), yet they continue to punish the producers and users of the fossil fuels in an unrelenting manner, even though there is no viable alternative. It’s like banning the consumption of water because we instead need it to grow the food that we survive on. Of course we know we can’t survive without water, but that evidently to the “greens” is simply irrelevant. The effect their rulings and policies are having on our pocket books, and our economy are devastating, yet they continue on unabated in their drive to acquiesce to the Green agenda. In life there is such a thing as moderation, and it’s a rather effective agenda to follow. The Left needs to come to the realization that man and the environment can co-exist, it doesn’t have to be One or the Other. We’ve all seen examples of the simply ludicrous rulings by the EPA, which now are telling private individuals what they can do with their own private property. In addition their policies are having a detrimental effect on our economy. For example the hwy. project that was shut down for two years because it was in a type of area in which a particular type of “endangered flower might grow”. Now mind you it had never been found anywhere in the vicinity of the project, but it was an area where it might be able to grow, or how about California’s Juaquin Valley which was turned into a dessert because of an endangered smelt (small fish) that was found in the Sacramento River. So what was their solution, they shut off the irrigation water to what was called the bread basket of the U.S. and in so doing put roughly 20,000 workers out of a job, and cause the devastation of the Valley’s economy, let alone the effect on produce nation wide. Now we can buy tainted vegetables from Mexico, Brazil, and China. Just wonderful alternatives to domestically produced food stuffs. This insanity must stop, or we’re doomed to become nothing more than the administration’s pawns in his drive towards a Green World, let by his machinations via his own little cabal or Oligarchy.

  • Imprimis

    Bobby’s got it right. Lincoln was a good pres. but he was human. The Congress then and now is the problem. Their job is to CHECK…that’s the beauty of our Constitution…checks and balance.

    Can anyone see a way out of this other than coming around all the way back to the beginning and not perverting the Declaration of Independence along with our Constitution. The cancer has grown into all areas including military. Anyone remember Hondorus? The military escorted the pres. to the border for trying to circumvent the consitution. Where is ours? All of the people presently in the three branches of government need to be at the very least escorted out of this country.

    Compared to the smart asses in Washington, we are just so much cattle. Once the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pushed an open-ended law (its own Clean Air Act) through a Democrat House and Senate in 2009, the agency had all the power it needed to do almost anything it wanted to do. (Much like the elephant who can “sit anywhere it wishes” in the bar.) Since it was Congress that mandated their efforts, under constitutional law, they were home free. Anybody out there who does not think Barack “Barry Soetoro” (aka Harrison J. Bounel) Hussein Obama, II, the Muslim liar-in-chief, campaigner-in-chief, fund-raiser-in-chief, golfer-in-chief, arrogant elitist and superficially documented presidential candidate, and his administration academics know how to use and abuse the United States Constitution, then you better go back to college and study political science for at least “four more years.”

    Well, really it does not take much brains to see what this administration is doing, trying to control American people and next the world. This is so obvious! What crazy would not allow us to use our own natural resources to allow us to be free of unfriendly foreign countries! I believe that more and more Americans are realizing that Obama does not care about we the people, he only cares about power to control to move forward with his agenda, a New World Order. As far as Ron Paul, about 98% is okay but the other 2% is so completely out of touch with reality the 98% of his “plan” for America would fail!! For instance, how can you have a great “military home land security force”, of which he thinks we should have with 0% taxation! Dah!!! To compare American people to the the terrorist that seek to destroy anyone that opposes Islam is really “crazy”. His opinions on Military is the same as Obama’s!

    Subj: FW: Congressional Reform

    Subject: Congressional Reform

    Winds of Change…. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

    In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

    *Congressional Reform Act of 2011*

    1. No Tenure / No Pension.

    A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.

    2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

    All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
    the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

    3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

    4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

    5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

    6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

    7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this
    contract with Congressmen/women.

    Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves.
    Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.
    The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

    If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive
    the message.
    Don’t you think it’s time?

    THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

    If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.
    You are one of my 20+ –
    Please keep it going. Thanks.
