Eight Republicans Vote For The Largest Tax Increase Ever
Posted by: | CommentsThe largest tax increase in American history, also known as Cap and Trade, narrowly passed the House by a vote of 219-212. There were 44 Democrats who voted against the bill but 8 Republicans who voted for it. Michelle Malkin has a list of the 8 Republican turncoats who sold us out. Make a note of their names so you can vote for the other guy/gal in the next primary. This boondoggle wouldn’t have passed had it not been for them.
House Set to Vote on Cap and Trade
Posted by: | CommentsSpeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has got the Cap and Trade bill on a fast track, bringing a vote on the issue as early as today. If it passes, the bill would then head to the Senate for a vote there. If you think this legislation is simply something to help the environment, think again. It’s nothing more than an out-of-control government grabbing revenue by imposing an indirect tax on its citizens. Some estimates show that this will cost the average American family around $1,800 a year in increased energy costs. However, the Democrats don’t seem to care. Republicans have offered three amendments to the bill: one that would suspend the program if gas prices hit $5 per gallon, one that would suspend the program if electricity prices rose 10% over 2009, and one that would suspend the program if unemployment rates hit 15%. Guess what? Democrats rejected all three. The bottom line is they could care less if Americans pay five bucks for a gallon of gas or their electricity bill goes up. It’s obvious all they care about is picking our pockets so they can spend our money however they wish. If this thing goes through, it will be the largest tax in American history. Isn’t change wonderful?
The Comedy of Man-Made Global Warming
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s a little cold out today, so while my SUV is warming up I thought it would be the perfect time to post a quick comment and a hilarious video about global warming. First off, I’m not a scientist and I’m not Al Gore, the global warming crusader who travels by private jet and SUV. By the way, Gore’s education is not in global climatology but journalism and law instead (rolls eyes). Anyway, what I am is a man with a little common sense and my common sense tells me this global warming “crisis” is nothing but a liberal scare tactic to rid the world of fossil fuel consumption and the evil corporations who profit from it.
The first bit of common sense to consider is that accurate methods of measuring temperature have only been around for around 300 years and mankind has only been tracking average global temps for around 150 years. Now, we weren’t around when the Earth was formed so none of us really know exactly how old it is, but if you can believe our scientists (and I’m not saying you can), it is around 4.5 billion years old. With those figures in mind, how in the Sam Hill can you call a 150 year trend out of 4.5 billion years a good scientific sample? Now, the global alarmists will say no, no, no…we have ways to take ancient ice samples and see what the temperature was thousands of years ago. I call it hogwash. You might be able to get an estimate (and I emphasize might), but you won’t get an accurate temperature down to the degree. Read More→
Who the heck is Shawn Swisher? I am a man who believes America is truly a great country. I believe we need to return to the Constitution and the Christian principles this country was founded on. I believe we must protect and preserve our freedoms, or we will most definitely lose them. I believe left wing liberals are a bunch of loons. I am a conservative... join me in the revolution!
