Or maybe we should say bigger bully since the EPA has been harassing Americans and American business for years.
Anyhoo…the big news today is that the EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson, has proclaimed that greenhouse gasses are dangerous pollutants:
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said yesterday that her ruling that greenhouses gases are dangerous pollutants would “cement 2009’s place in history” as the moment when the U.S. began “seizing the opportunity of clean-energy reform.” She’s right that this is an historic decision, though not to her or the White House’s credit, and “seizing” is the right term. President Obama isn’t about to let a trifle like democratic consent impede his climate agenda. ** With cap and trade blown apart in the Senate, the White House has chosen to impose taxes and regulation across the entire economy under clean-air laws that were written decades ago and were never meant to apply to carbon. With this doomsday machine activated, Mr. Obama hopes to accomplish what persuasion and debate among his own party manifestly cannot.
Hugh Hewitt said it first regarding elections, “They Can’t Win if They Don’t Cheat”. But now it’s become more than obvious that the cheating methods employed by progressives apply not just to elections but in general. Hello, contents of leaked AGW emails! Hello, ACORN. Hello, recount mania that finds “lost” bags of votes in the trunk of a car. Hello Chicago Political Machine and the corruption that continues to flow from it. Hello cooking the books at Fannie Mae for bigger bonuses. Hello “tax dodging”, fraud commiting, union mob harrassment team dispatching politicians and operatives of the progressive Democrat persuasion.
