Obama’s war on coal has no impact on skyrocketing global coal usage. Its only purpose is to hurt Americans
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The Marxist president is at war with the American people on every front. An the eunuch Republican party has abricated their constitutional duty of removing said president.
The republican party is just the ‘Controlled Oposition’ to give the American people the illusion we actually run the country instead of America’s Ruling Class
Let’s hope that writer’s last sentence is correct. Meanwhile the Democrats via Amnesty and Community Organizers is doing their best to see that we have more Pauls than Peters. While making sure Peter is crippled and can produce less and less.

Too bad none of the ‘looters and moochers ‘ have figured out what will happen after they finish killing of the host…. But then Leftist Useful Idiots don’t think they Emote.
Oh and RAH, I have already said while the UK can get away with a new party like UKIP because they already have three major parties, the USA can not. So we are stuck with the Republicans and trying to drag them back towards the center. (I doubt we could actually drag them to the right of center)
It is telling that the republicans sicced the Chamber of Commerce on the Tea Party. The Chamber of Commerce is planning to spend at least $50 million on a campaign to boost establishment Republicans in primaries against Tea Party challengers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
I would disagree. The Democrats are not the Harlem Globe Trotters and the Republicans the the Washington Generals. They trade roles to be sure at times. But also there are certainly definitive differences between the two.
Do your really think that this would happen if the Republicans were in charge?:
Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35% , an increase of 62 %
Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6% , an increase of 13 %
Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2% , an increase of 52 %
Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28% an increase of 87 %
Dividends tax went from 15% to 39.6% , an increase of 164 %
Do you really think that things would have played out the same in Iraq and Afghanistan if the Republicans were in charge?
Do you really think that all the pure racist crap that the DOJ has pumped out the last 6 years would have happened if there was a Republican in the WH?
Would Amnesty have been mandated by executive order with the Republican in the WH?
How about the recent thing with Cuba?
How about the insults to our traditional allies of the UK and Israel? Reaching out to talk to Iran with no actions to stop their nuc program?
And in the realm of the topic of this blog. Would a Republican President have come out with all of this Climate stuff and allowed the EPA to run amok?
There are plenty of other examples I could give Gail. And though I actually HATE the establishment Republicans because they are nothing but Democrat lite, the simple fact is that the conservative votes and influence that counts abides ONLY in the Republican party. it is nonexistent in the Democrat party and the Libertarians only steal votes from Republicans.
RAH,
I would agree if we had a decent presidental candidate like Eisenhower. But McCain really gave me the willies. Romney was better (at least he is sane) but he was still too close to a Democrat.
Remember all the stuff that came out via Gruber about Romney as MA governor with the help of Ted Kennedy made Romenycare look viable by STEALING national tax payer money with the blessings of Bush. Would we be better off being boiled slowly or have the whole nasty mess front and center so normal people wake-up and start screaming bloody murder.
I just hope we get an actually choice this time around. This country can not take many more Marxist/Fabian/Progressive/Socialist/Fascist governments and with the exception of Ike (I really liked Ike) and Reagan we have not had a real leader who cared about this country in close to 100 years.
There is a war for the control and direction of the Republican party going on. If the libertarians would join with the Conservatives that war would already be over and we would be well on our way to moving back to the right.
Ike, while I respect his record, is not my ideal. Regan came closer for me. He was the best of my lifetime I believe. But Ike, unlike Regan did not have the benefit of a Republican congress. In fact Ike got so frustrated that he eventually threw up his hands and said to hell with it and spent most of his time out on the putting green. When the Kennedy’s moved into the WH Jackie was appalled that the floors in the west wing were scarred by the cleats from Ike’s golfing shoes. Of course Queen Jackie was appalled by the shape of the WH in total and went on a big spending spree to fix it up. But perhaps she had a point. The attic then still had the pulleys and bell ropes dating from Lincoln’s administration in it.
I don’t recall that the Republican presidents were much less willing to indulge “this Climate stuff” than the Democratic ones – before Obama, I mean.

Really? So Bush spent billions on green energy? Bush pursued the “war on coal” and has his administration produce this policy document? http://www.scribd.com/doc/149894606/Barack-Obama-s-Climate-Action-Plan
And made EPA rules setting the standards for emissions so high that it will virtually impossible for coal fired plants using the current technology to meet the goals?
Bush refused to implement Kyoto!!! You say that Obama would not have gone for it whole hog within the limits of political viability? Heck the Bush administration was accused in congressional testimony “Nearly half of all respondents perceived or personally experienced pressure to eliminate the words ‘climate change,’ ‘global warming’ or other similar terms from a variety of communications.”
Me thinks you should probably read a little of the history to refresh your memory.
rah,
I said before Obama.
I think there is reason to hope that Shaw’s cynical observation will prove to be less than the truth, at least as far as America is concerned. The Pauls seem to be figuring out that they’re the Peters, too.
I sure hope so.
That war began long before Obama was elected President and in fact before he was in the Senate.
It began more than one hundred and fifty years ago.
The war on coal first began when Karl Marks went to work as a foreign correspondent for the New York City paper, The Daily Tribune. Marks had some success following in Mark Twain’s footsteps by lampooning the coal barons as uncaring Capitalist pigs without empathy for their fellow man. Mr. Twain however was a better humorous in that regard.
I guess humor just doesn’t translate well from the German into English. Or maybe Marx was such a confirmed boozer that Fredrick Engels actually had to write a large number of Karl’s articles to keep Marx from blowing by too many deadlines and losing his gig at the Tribune.
Americans should be in the 21st Century, not the 19thC
End of story,
Andy
And anyone that believes that the US government can force by laws, regulation, and subsidies can accomplish what private industry with huge profit incentive has not yet produced denies reality.
Coal is 21st century, just like windmills.
Andy should use 19th century reason, not 21st century emoting.
End of story.
Why no, haven’t you heard that Chinese coal causes global cooling, and American coal global warming? Really, you must get your web site in line with consensus story-telling.
Or as our German friends say, “Black Anthracite and Bituminous coal is bad but brown Lignite coal is good.”
If you look at every “success” of Obama, they are all wars on America, specifically the middle class. The middle class stands between Obama and his socialist utopia.

That is my dearest hope. I am NOT in favor of a new party, I would like to see ‘Flyover Country’ grab the reins back from the international moneyed elite who are controlling the republican party.
The Democrats/Progressives are hopeless. The only thing that would wake them up is a year or two in North Korea.
It may be rewarding to watch, Dr. Combs, but your Hippocratic Oath prohibits such experiments on the sick. Individuals not responding to the maximum allowed dose of two months are considered unfit to give informed consent and must be returned to the custody of the Democratic Party. Research shows that 97% of patients from the responsive group are healed after two weeks.

I recall that 2012 Romney said something (I forget the details) about limiting the use of coal. Obama of course declared that Romney was engaged in a war on coal. Romney thus proved again, as if we needed more proof, the self-destructive futility of appeasement.
