Global Warming: Cap-and-Tax Republicans

User avatar
EMBEDDED IMAGE NO LONGER AVAILABLE

So let me do the math here. The house narrowly passes the biggest tax icnrease in the country (aka Global Warming) by a vote of 219-212. Now give me a second here because I'm kind of slow. 219 minus 212 is 7.

Ok, so it passed by 7 votes. 8 backstabbing, turncoat Rhinos voted for the bill. So if they had actually been Republicans the legistlation would have lost by 1 vote and the American tax payers would be able to keep some of their money.

If one of these turncoats is in your district then may I suggest you throw them out of office next time? What is the point in voting for a Republican when they won't vote like one?

On a side note, what the heck is wrong with the reps from NJ? Do they have a club or something?

Narrowly Passes: MORE TAXES!

Roll Call: TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!

Look at the states these heroes represent. The 'R' following their name is probably just a typo. Now that this bill has passed the house, I'm trying to figure out a way to stop exhaling. Here in Duval County Fl, Mayor Peyton has found a way through the people's electric authority to tax rain that falls on your property. I can't afford rain and exhaling... I tried to make it stop raining but it's just not working out.... back to that breathing thing...

I have to take issue with the title opf the first linked article: "House Narrowly Passes Major Energy-Climate Bill." This was NOT a narrow passage! It was clearly a landslide, a juggernaught that cannot be stopped, a clear reflection of the will of the people!

Fuckers. Dammit, I don't have much in terms of expendable income (and it looks like it's about to become a lot less), but I am contributing to the campaigns of ANYBODY who opposes these bastards.

Chris Smith used to be my Congressman in NJ. He took the seat in 1980, I believe, after the prior guy (Frank Thompson, a Dem) was caught up in ABSCAM bribery scandal. After redistricting in 1990, the boundary of my district shifted and I ended up with a different idiot.

I guess it just goes to show you, here in New Jerkey the politicians are all useless.

You're very welcome. It's very hard to express and find kindness and true appreciation when your a prog, especially the Commissar of Graveyard Entrances, keeper of mass graves, and all around Foul Fowl. Again, creative one, you are very welcome.

Let us hope the primary votes display that. They ask "who's next?" In Minnesota, we've got a big RINO, Norm Coleman, who I can guarantee would of voted for this bill. We've been trying to get rid of him for years, but this is what happens in a progressive state like mine. If you want one to flush, here's a photo.

Comrade 7.62,

We certainly are in an era of unholy alliances, all right. I mean, there's Comrade Red Square aligned with Comrade Pieck, now did the Germans and Ukrainians really ever like each other that much, and then there's you, from the People's Progressive Republic of Washington with your rifle collections, and Comrade Pinkie, with her mind boggling sexual exploits, and putting a dog, Marshall Pupovich in charge of everything, with his deputy and enforcer, Laika, and Red Rooster, and Broadside, with their garish graphics, and Snoogie Woogums, whose way too cute to be a revolutionary, and everyone else including the gentile Comrade Elliot (my apologies for anyone I missed-especially those who posted above), and me, a goatee'd lollipop, always trying to find my true identity. Talk about unholy alliances.

Comrade Betinov,

Please forgive me. I only mentioned the most subversive. You are pure and good, and perfect in all ways prog.

User avatar
Comrades, I know it's pure prog instinct that drives you to denounce Republicans for no reason at all, and for that you are to be commended. But consider for one moment the rare courage displayed by this Octocon, if I may coin a word.

They did what few, nay, no neocons dare to do: They defied marching orders from Rush and risked all--their careers, their families, body parts, etc.--to fall out of lockstep and actually think for themselves and do the patriotic thing.

Now, I would like you to take the time and read this article by the AP on how wonderful the results of this legislation will be!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31585732/ns ... vironment/

Those green jobs would emerge, propelled by the push for nonpolluting energy sources.

That could mean making or installing solar panels, repairing wind turbines, producing energy-efficient light bulbs, working for an environmental engineering firm or waste recycler, making equipment that harnesses carbon from coal burning and churning out energy-saving washing machines or air conditioners.

Assembly line workers at factories that made gas-guzzling cars might see their future in producing the next generation of batteries or wind turbine blades — an emerging shift, though on a relatively small scale today.

Isn't that exciting? How many of you have dreamed of a rewarding career in fixing wind turbines, installing solar panels, recycling garbage, or even making light bulbs? Glamour! Adventure! Romance! Now it can be all yours!

Not only that, but if you know how to fill out the paperwork--or perhaps I should say, if you don't know how to fill it out but you're afraid to ask--you could get FREE energy for your home!

The poorest of homes could get a government check as a rebate for high energy costs. That money would come from selling pollution allowances for industry.

I couldn't be happier than if Obama were paying for my mortgage and gas. Crank up that air conditioner and put a TV in every room! But you know what's the best thing about this? The masses will become dependent on that rebate, and soon will not be able to survive without it, for it shall be elevated to the sacred rank of entitlement!

And that is just one more reason (as if any reason is necessary) the Republicans can never again be allowed control of Congress and/or the White House, because you just know the first thing they're going to do is dismantle all of this and take people's energy rebate checks away!

Without the rebate checks, people will no longer be able to afford their utility bills! Think of the consequences!

It means millions of old people and children will freeze to death during the winter, and die of heat stroke during the summer! It means millions will die of starvation, because they'll no longer be able to afford the energy required to cook meals and refrigerate perishable foods! It means millions will be forced out of their homes and onto the streets in search of shelter with working utilities! Homeless shelters will overflow! Food pantries will be plundered! Food shortages! Famine! Disease! Fewer polar bears! Crisis! It'll be just like the Bush years all over again!

So please, Comrades--for just one day, or if not that, one hour--or at the very least, for the length of time it takes you to read this post--acknowledge, however grudgingly, the bravery and patriotism of the Octocon, and all they have sacrificed to save us from certain catastrophe.

And if you need a little more perspective, just ask yourselves: If you were just another spineless, digitally-Limbaughtomized, Faux News-addicted, Bush-is-a-god-and-I-love-him-so-much-I'd-marry-him-if-I-didn't-think-like-all-neocons-that-anyone-who-doesn't-think-marriage-should-be-only-between-one-man-and-one-woman-should-be-taken-out-and-stoned-to-death-and-by-stoning-I-mean-throwing-rocks-because-I-believe-or-so-I'm-told-to-that-everything-to-do-with-marijuana-is-a-crime-also-punishable-by-stoning-to-death . . . would you dare risk the wrath of being savaged by Rush on his radio show?

Could you?

And just remember: After he's done raking you over the coals, he isn't going to ask if you're okay. Or if he does, he certainly isn't going to ask twice.

Think about it.

Unfortunately I live in Minnesota and have had to watch this insanity all eyar long. The thing that scares me is that I am surrounded by that many people who think Al Franken is a good choice. My god I am living in bizzaro world!

Billy's Ghost was trying to get one last pitch out I guess. And as my pre revolutionary life was as a salesman perhaps I was open to it.

Pinkie, you are of course right. There's no point in instant socialism--people won't have that. But socialism by creeping entitlement. That's inspired. Because when we were first entitled to self-esteem it meant that we were entitled to everything else.

Image If progs really believed in Global Warming, they'd be doing exactly that - buying land in Alaska, building resorts, and selling time shares. But they don't.

They could invest in many such projects and when Global Warming kicks in, they'd be filthy rich. But instead, Al Gore and his bunch are investing in projects that will fleece the producers, and then push for the legislation that, when it kicks in, will make them filthy rich - even if Global Warming never happens.

The mere fact that not a single person is investing in the outcome of Global Warming should be an indication that no one really believes in it. The same people who clamor about the scientific consensus and carry their moral outrage on the sleeve, will not only invest a penny - they will think anyone who does must be crazy.

The mind of a prog is such an inconsequential kaleidoscope. Hours of progressive entertainment.

I'd guess their justification is, by doing nothing, someone else will do it for them, with Al Gore being case and point.

However, I'd also be willing to bet they don't want to leave their happy little life of Progressive progressing.

For Elliott:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

The boiling frog story is a widespread anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death. The story is often used as a metaphor for the inability of people to react to important changes that occur gradually

Thank you Pinkie, that's actually what I was looking for. I know there was someone who said such a line, but the boiling frog story is ultimately the point I was making.

When ancient Greece was falling into anarchy, Athens asked Solon to make laws. The old ones weren't working. He made a law that if there was a schism in the state, you had to go on one side or the other or lose your vote. For years people didn't understand why but he did.

He did not say what side; he couldn't. But he knew that all revolutions are started by a small group of dedicated people who do nothing else. The masses have lives and don't want to bother; "It'll go away," they say, and after a while it doesn't.

How many of us have been involved in a relationship, romantic, a friendship, work, even where we live, in which there is a accretion of things, none of them a deal-breaker, which keeps adding up until it's intolerable? "Damn. But I can take that. Doing something now isn't worth the cost." And if you say that enough you're a cooked frog.

Those small things were the reason I quit my first job. All it took was about 8 months of two supervisors who for some reason bothered me. Now, I won't go into details unless you want to hear my story, but I wasn't the first one this happened to either.
