this is too complicated

break it down for us

2 So here's what that means. Government imposed rolling blackouts.

Leftard enviro-jihadis won't be happy until we're all living in mud huts.  I honestly believe Leftism is a real mental illness.

Here's what I want to know.

How did Obama muzzle Steven Chu?

5

The stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure realized that this was going to be a bitter beatdown on him during the debates....and most likely will be anyway.

Either way..YOU be the one to tell 25 million mostly armed to the teeth Texans that the government is going to shut your power down because unicorn farts don't really work after all.........

6 What if Texas tell the EPA to go to hell?

What would they do?

Stop federal money would only mean that Texas would shut off the money going to WDC.

What can the EPA realistically do to Texas? Little is my thought.

7 Happy belated birthday., Dave I heard you doubled your nap-time inn celebration. Congrats.

8
But it won't be if he survives the 2012 election.

I shudder to think about a lame-duck Obama. He would be an unbridled wrecking machine.

9 I suspect whoever wrote that report has a good chance of being an SES at EPA in about 24 months. Hopefully in charge of turning off the lights and auctioning the furniture.

10

I shudder to think about a lame-duck Obama. He would be an unbridled wrecking machine.

To ease your fears on that, think of him running amok with another term in office.

11 I agree that Texas should tell the EPA to pound sand. Look them straight in the eye and tell them to enforce it. And to wear uniforms when they cross the state borders so that the armed citizens know who is there to impose their will onto the citizenry. And further, tell their enforcement arm (who might be innocent personnel) that they should only proceed under direct leadership into a potential battlefield situation. Read that as the General leading the charge into battle.

Flannelgraph, please.

13 he is losing it folks.......you thought when he was popular he was a problem......just wait........he is a tantrum thrower.......and GOD FORBID he wins in 2012 ..........

14
I think presidents are considered "lame-ducks" if they lose reelection OR soon after they are reelected.

15 The whole conservation movement is a crock. I remember Carter in the WH wearing a sweater and telling the nation that we needed to use less oil thence forth. How about we all conserve food and water by only eating and drinking on alternate days? Yeah, that will increase the amount of food and water. How about I take my last $400 and go to the store and buy that rifle on sale for $200 off $600? Then I'll use that extra $200 to buy bullets. And driving home I'll not speed through a red light which will save me another $350. Profit!

16 Now Dave is writing covert posts about my sick boobs? For shame.

17 SCOAMF did this to take away a point of attack from Perry. But is he gets a 2nd term, you can bet your ass it will be back and shoved right down our throats.

18 I hate them with the white hot burning rage of 10,000 suns which is equal to the rage of one perpetually pissed off leftist.

19 The only positive - No power means we can't watch THE GRAND FUBAR on TV or Internet. If my dogs get too hot they will be pissed. I put down pics of Obama I printed out that they poop & piss on.

20 Texas is unfairly taking more than its fair share of jobs from the rest of the country- something has to be done.

In O's case, it's lame dick and he's always been one.

22

No, it is because the companies I was interested in procuring, have already had their prices suppressed enough by the threat of the Ozone Regulation... investors were divesting prior to its implementation...

I am done buying, so it is time to put the dogs back on the Leash, for awhile...

23 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

24
hey, isn't it funny that Obama's Department of Social Justice is suing 17 banks, including Bank of America?

hahahaha & Warren Buffet

25 The stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure won't be happy until Sally Struthers has to stand outside an American home and do her fundraising.

26
er, @

27

A word.

The corruption of this administration will not be contained amidst a country facing economic collapse.

There will be indictments swirling around this administration.

The public is acutely fatigued with the blatant corruption and circumvention of law this administration has engaged in.  

 

28 18-is the spam now considering him to be a SCOAMF??? Just how sentient is this stuff?

29
Professor Lick-man says Obama has no scandals.

At some point, you've generated enough megawattage.

31

Problem is, that the US Government has the Power to freeze all funds of an institutioin IF they believe it is being used to perpetuate a felony...

Outgrowth of the war on drugs... same type of law they used to get the Gibson Guitar Woods.... you then have to go to court to UNFREEZE those assets...

So, they freeze the funds of the Power companies, because they are not in compliance with Fed Law... and the banks, being part of the Banking Fed Gov Cleptocracy, will do it....

32
I'm still expecting someone to get the axe, this weekend.

Obama needs a sacrificial scapegoat.

33
oh!

Howie Carr did his radio show yesterday from Chicken Bones restaurant and bar.

That's where Uncle Obungo was at before he got pinched for DUI.

34 Posted by: journolist at September 03, 2011 01:50 PM (Fb9Q0)

This admin is a freak show. And they'll likely touch off a lot more than marching in the streets if they don't tone down the Che clique of their party.

35 Chicken Bones restaurant and bar

Leaving that one to the professionals.

36

There will be indictments. This country is in an imminent state of collapse, which is being augmented by this administration's incalcitrant lawlessness.

The corruption and meddling is tangible to the extent there is now a wholesale lack of confidence with this administration and their divisive political tactics.

Public sentiment is a tide that will derail this administration.  

 

37 I told you we couldn't eat what we want and have our thermostats set at 72. I told you I would bankrupt the coal industry. Basically I told you everything I was going to do. You didn't believe me? Re-elect me so I can finish you off.

38
Uncle Obungo worked at a liquor store. Howie found out from the local patrons that Obama's uncle's nickname is "Stinky."

Patrons to the liquor store say he stinks pretty bad.

39 Obama, why do you want old people to die from the excessive heat? No grandpa don't go into the light. I'll get you some air conditioning!!

40 32 Problem is, that the US Government has the Power to freeze all funds of an institutioin IF they believe it is being used to perpetuate a felony... How about Texas seizes the Pantex plant, the federal reserve Bank of Dallas and all federal shipping in Galveston. Then we decide things.

41 Leftard enviro-jihadis won't be happy until we're all living in mud huts.

Depends.  Your mudhut has to be smaller then theirs.  Cause they are the vanguard of the proletariat and all. 

42

Obama needs a sacrificial scapegoat.

 

The First Wookie is into that shit from what I hear.

43 He did this because the election is coming up so he has to pretend to be a moderate. If people fall for this like they did in '08, we're screwed. About the only thing he's good at is lying. Well, it's not so much that he's good at it, it's more that voters are dumb enough to fall for it.

44

Obama is the head of the Democratic Party.

He is responsible for their tone and vitriolic rhetoric.

Ladies and Gentlemen, join a tea party and stand up.

This is your country and you have inalienable rights.

Stand up .... like now.  

 

45 Obama's probably trying to avoid violating the one rule that matters: "Don't mess with Texas".

And if Texas tells the FedGov to go piss up a rope, other states might follow suit, and then what happens?  Federalism, that's what.  Washington gets defanged without a civil war, without a secession, and without a shot being fired.

Sounds like a plan.

46 18-is the spam now considering him to be a SCOAMF??? Just how sentient is this stuff?

It's a sock, ya dope...

47

Remember when Bush was going to cancel elections and declare martial law, rather than step down and relenquish power?

Good thing we don't have to worry about anything like that with Obama.

48 Seriously, though - if this went into effect in 2012, and Texas declined to enforce it, what's the EPA going to do?

They send agents in, the state police, rangers, and national guard refuse to comply.

They can't send in the army.

They try to freeze assets, the FRB of Texas says "No"?

I mean, FedGov is really powerless to do a damned thing about it.

49 And if Texas tells the FedGov to go piss up a rope, other states might follow suit, and then what happens?  Federalism, that's what.  Washington gets defanged without a civil war, without a secession, and without a shot being fired.

Texas couldn't stand up to the US military.  Nobody can.  But deep in his reptile brain, Obama has got to doubt whether the military would follow his orders.  I doubt they would, or at least a significant portion wouldn't. 

50 37-I hope you are right, heavens, I really do. But I fear that enough of the 52% who elected this admin are either dumb enough, or evil enough to want to continue down this path to hell.

51 I don't know which upsets me more.the fact that he told us his plan and 52% of the voters voted for him anyway, or the fact that so many people did not go to the pols and vote against him because McCain was a RINO

52 If Texas tell sthe feds to pound sand they will send in the 102nd Rump Rangers from San Francisco to teach those Texans.

53 Texas couldn't stand up to the US military.  Nobody can.  But deep in his reptile brain, Obama has got to doubt whether the military would follow his orders.  I doubt they would, or at least a significant portion wouldn't.

I hate to say this, but an insurgency in the US would be a nightmare for the military.  We simply wouldn't have the manpower to handle widespread insurrection, and the resources and ingenuity of plenty of US citizens would make some of the threats we face in places like Afghanistan look like child's play.

54
imagine if McCain won in 2008...

McCain would've been a terrible president. The economy would be almost as bad as it is now. Instead of Obamacare, we would have Amnesty, which is even worse.

And if McCain won in '08, Nancy Pelosi would still be Speaker of the House.

55 @Pep -

But absent a declaration of secession, what justification does SCOAMF have to violate Posse Comitatus?  The military will likely tell him to FOAD in that case.

Same thought I had of what  happens if 25 of the Fortune 500 decided they were no longer going to do automatic income tax withholding and their employees were responsible for it instead?  Does the IRS really have the balls to take out that big a chunk of the GDP to enforce the law?

56 I don't know which upsets me more.the fact that he told us his plan and 52% of the voters voted for him anyway, or the fact that so many people did not go to the pols and vote against him because McCain was a RINO

I'm actually glad we're in the position we've got now.
Yet another RINO would have caused the wound to fester until it killed us off completely.  Things would have remained "covered up" to the view of the average citizen.

What we've got now is pain, but I've got enough optimism to believe we will live through and learn from the experience. 

FWIW, I voted in the last election holding my nose.

57 In 2009 Texas got back $0.94 for every dollar it sent to DC. I think Texas should take DC to dinner and then say, "It's not me, it's you.

58
The only good thing we'd get with McCain would be two slightly less awful Court justices.

Instead of Sotomayormccheese and Elvis Kagan, we'd have two Steven Breyers.

59 Rolling blackouts!

Sweating in the dark!

Sounds racist to me.

60 But absent a declaration of secession, what justification does SCOAMF have to violate Posse Comitatus?

Sheer awesomeness?

61 Look, I'm not worried about Obamma winning the election. I think yesterday many of us realized with absolute finality that he's done. It's what happens between now and January 20th 2012 that scaring the shit out of me.

62

Here in southwest Ohio, my electricity bill increased 33% in the Spring.  Of course, we're using the eeeeeeeeeeevil coal-fired generators. 

I'm sure the Obamabots blame the power company.  Thanks again 52%.

63 One thing's for sure, Obama will never suffer deprivation. Unless he's prosecuted for his multiple felonies.

64

Texas couldn't stand up to the US military.  Nobody can.  But deep in his reptile brain, Obama has got to doubt whether the military would follow his orders.  I doubt they would, or at least a significant portion wouldn't.

Exactly. That would trigger a war that the SCOAMFJEF could never win. The Japanese were quite rightly concerned about that during WW2- "a rifle behind every blade of grass". I think this is one civil war that would play out very differently.

65 I can't shake this feeling of impending doom.  I really think the SCoaMF will scorch the earth and then salt it on his way out the door.

Then to top it all off, the beavers attacked and destroyed my 25'row of raspberries last night.  My patch is floating all over the river.

 The Doom.  It is everywhere.

66 Greetings from the edge of TS Lee...

67

Then to top it all off, the beavers attacked and destroyed my 25'row of raspberries last night. My patch is floating all over the river.

at dusk...they get frisky at dusk.  best time for beaver 'floating down the river'

they've done damage to lots of trees at our farm. we don't take prisoners.

 

68 The EPA is levying multimillion dollar fines on local governments because they are not reducing the ozone levels. The cost is passe on to the taxpayers. And for what? The air is excellent compared to 25 years ago. But because a relatively few people have respiratory illnesses they use it as an excuse to destroy our quality of life (no wood burning fireplace in SoCal) and stick their thieving hands in our pockets.

Here's what I want to know.

How did Obama muzzle Steven Chu?

Posted by: soothie at September 03, 2011 01:27 PM (gGgsq)

Same way they muzzle Joe Biden. Give him interesting problems to occupy his attention. In Bidens's case, it's choo-choo trains and tinker toys. In Chu's case, it's things like new solar cell designs. Chu is academic in every sense of the word through and through, and has proved himself unable and unwilling to question the big picture. Just quit giving him the administration's absurd socialist energy policy positions to parrot, ask for no more petroleum coal and electric power industry liason ('energy prevention') and he'll tend to muzzle himself. Just let him work on the sweet technical details of gallium nitride semiconductors  in a room somewhere and slide a pizza under the door twice a day.

70

Crazy guess here, politics.

what else does this administation have?   oh, yeah, another jobs speech.

btw, what was the general consenus on beverages for/during the speech?  to lazy to look

71

Obama can't call in the Army to challenge Texas. Half the Army is FROM Texas.

Seriously, I am really waiting for one state, perhaps Texas, to tell Obama to stuff it. No Texas governor (I'm looking at you, Perry) should allow the feds to destroy the state's economy and energy over leftard environazi bullshit.

72 C'mon Republican party, don't revert to form and fuck this up.  Win the next GD election and then *do the right thing*.

73 66/68- a number of years ago, some beavers were chewing up and destroying some of the cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in DC. The flipping park service spent weeks trying to find a non-lethal means of getting rid of them. The beavers managed to kill around 27 trees in the time it took for the park service to humanely trap them. Suggestions of just shooting the little buggers were met with horror. That's what is wrong with our government's world view now. Coddling the things destroying what's good. So there's your doom for you.

74 2 Leftard enviro-jihadis won't be happy until we're all living in mud huts.


The common people would live in mud huts, our 'betters' would live in bamboo mansions.

75 Of COURSE it was politics.  Any (R) with 1/4 a brain could rip him to shreds just on the power-plant problem in 3 minutes and have the rest of the day to talk about ObozoCare, the debt/downgrade, and the Ruling Class bozos.

He's down to "racists" and "eeeeeevil Christians" now, and that's not really campaign material; it's damn near assured suicide.

Good!

76

@74  i remember that.     i giggled then, and i'm giggling about it now.   could not beleive they trapped the damned things and moved them. 

of course, there was this person i knew years ago, that once something was trapped, it went for an extended  swim.      i don't do cruelty.  on.clean.shot.

77

He's down to "racists" and "eeeeeevil Christians" now, and that's not really campaign material; it's damn near assured suicide.

and tea party terrorists

78

One more year like this year, and there may not be a Texas left to consume power. The entire state is in a severe drought, although a small portion of North Texas is in moderate drought. Wildfires have burned and burned and burned. Most of our beloved ranch land is nothing but dead grass. The cattle industry has been decimated. When you start trying to feed 500 head of cattle it's bad. When you have to haul water to them, forget it. Some portions of West Texas have had 1 inch of rain this year, some of it has had 0.

We're overrun with illegals, our schools are getting their budgets cut, our roads and traffic suck. Obama's bullshit drilling rules are keeping us from producing even more gas and oil  than we are, thus killing our ability to create even more jobs than we have already. 

But we still persevere. It will rain again sometime. And God willing, we won't have to put with a stuttering clusterfuck of a President past 2012.We are a lot of things in this State, but quitters ain't one of them. If we have to provide jobs to the rest of the country, so be it. And we still have lots of room for anyone that wants to move here and enjoy our Republic. (I'd re-consider a decision to do so if you are liberal, progressive or from San Francisco.)  

79 50 Texas couldn't stand up to the US military.  Nobody can.  But deep in his reptile brain, Obama has got to doubt whether the military would follow his orders.  I doubt they would, or at least a significant portion wouldn't.

The army would follow orders and uphold their constitutional obligations to submit to civilian authority. However I'm sure the armed army would find a way to follow those orders and the constitution while circumventing the actual intent of the absurd orders. "We're sorry Mr. President but that tank division you ordered to crush the rebellion was 'overrun' and forced to abandon all their equipment, which has fallen into the rebels' hands. -Also the entire Navy had engine trouble and was forced to surrender to rebel privateers which have now commandeered our ships. -You won't believe me either sir, but apparently the entire air force is grounded due to most of our pilots having a 'stomach bug'...."

80 "But absent a declaration of secession, what justification does SCOAMF have to violate Posse Comitatus?"

The same authority that Eisenhower had when he sent the 101st Airborne into Little Rock to help desegregate the schools. And Obama could nationalize the TNG and use it to enforce the regime's edicts.

Forget about armed resistance: that ended when Pickett's Charge failed in 1863.

81 Of course, Eisenhower was Eisenhower, the hero of Normandy; and Obama is Obama, the stuttering clusterfuck. (Actually, he's a stammering clusterfuck, but why split hairs?) But the Army would still obey orders.

82 Under my plan, energy prices will necessarily sky-rockert.

83

But so do RINOs.  Look at Romney, even Perry hasn't stood up to the EPA.  Jindahls done a far better job than Perry.  Look at the history of power plant construction.  When was the last plant built in the USA?  Now try and blame it on Obama.

 

Further look at Bush's record on energy and tell me that the RINOs can be trusted.

84 The military is sworn to uphold the Constitution and soldiers can/should/will disobey and unlawful order. The military is not to be used domestically on the citizenry. The military, the congress and the supreme court would work in concert to impeach the president, vote to remove him from office and then actually remove him with the military once he has been legally removed from office. It would look something like what happened in Honduras only the ousted president would be arrested and prevented from leaving the country.

85 Put money on it,  SCOAMF and Lady SCOAMF set the a/c cold enough to freeze hamburger.  They can't look all cool and in charge with sweat stains all over them

86 Damn sock!

87 BHO is trying to save one job at a time, starting with his.

88 From his standpoint, the whole thing is a feature, not a bug. He's going to lose Texas, period, end of story, no matter what he does. And if he imposes rolling blackouts maybe he can hang the blame on Perry (with a big assist from the media), and in any case maybe kill some jobs in Texas, which helps defuse a major campaign issue.

89 God Bless Texas! Those of us who have been in the military know that the first officer who orders his men to fire on United States citizens will have a life expectancy of exactly zero. Those I know currently in our service have absolutely no love or respect for Obastard. Of that the is no doubt.

90

The timing on BHO's rollback of the EPA regs is.....interesting.

You just know he didn't want to do this. The question is, what's making him do it now?....The GOP candidates have been remarking on 'over regulation'. And Barry wants to at least look like he cares about it....but still, the timing of it makes it look like he's just doing it to lay the groundwork for his Big Speech.

 

And my prayers go out for Texas. I hope they get some rain soon. A long drought is such a slow heartbreaking nightmare.....plus the fires added to that misery....my heart goes out to my neighbors to the south. Texas has endured enough already. Here's hoping they get some relief soon.

 

91

#85

Correct you are sir! The military is not the enemy of the people but the protector. It cannot be used against citizens.

For a "smart military blog" seems a lot of folks here don't understand how the military works. Perry needs to bring back the Draft so folks will become more knowledgeable in this area. 

92 uhm, lighten up people.  puh-leeze.

93  That'll teach those evil Texans to vote against TheWon..

94 Yep! I was agreed, I'll keep in touch to your blog.

95

So it's safe to assert that the EPA is not so much concerned about the environment, but in how to wield democrat power.

Time to abolish it.

96

Soldier, shoot your grandmother!

Sir!  Yes sir!

yeah, I see that happening.  I'd shoot the motherf*cker that gives that kind of order.

97 This is the oath every national guard member makes when enlisting (off about.com/military site): In the National Guard (Army or Air) I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God. Notice that primary allegiance is to the Constitution, then the President, then the Governor. If the Constitution and the Governor were in agreement, the President would have some real difficulty in getting his orders followed. Every officer and enlisted in the US Military is trained in the concept of a "Lawful Order." One of the great strengths of the American Armed forces is that they are trained to think. "Just following orders" is not an adequate defense later.

98 I think a huge number of our military members (officers and enlisted) would resign before attacking Texas or fellow U.S. citizens.
