With a 300 page add-on at 3 am, without even reading the bill, based on voodoo-magic-bogus science, with 44 democrats voting AGAINST it, and with the Wall Street Journal calling it the biggest tax hike in the history of America, the house passed their “global warming” bill minutes ago. Not my favorite day ever.

“Experts predict that this bill would destroy between 1,105,000 and 2,479,000 jobs on average, every year.”

Sooo… this doesn’t worry anybody?  This is the hope and change people wanted?  I don’t think people want this.  And when people start realizing what’s going on… well, I just hope we can reverse some of this.

Democrats are trying to ram another bill down the throats of Americans without much thought for the actual outcomes of the bill.  And they’re trying to do it by TOMORROW!  Get informed by reading the article below and others that are coming out by the dozens today.  Then call your representative and let them know how you feel!  I just called mine.

WSJ’s “Cap & Tax Fiction” – “The biggest doozy in the CBO analysis was its extraordinary decision to look only at the day-to-day costs of operating a trading program, rather than the wider consequences energy restriction would have on the economy. The CBO acknowledges this in a footnote: ”The resource cost does not indicate the potential decrease in gross domestic product (GDP) that could result from the cap.  The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill. The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less…”

Cap-and-trade does more harm than good – “While U.S. officials vowed to learn from Europe’s mistakes, the bill sponsored by Reps. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.) and Edward Markey (D., Mass.) has many of the same flaws and adds massive “offsets” that blow away the “cap” in “cap-and-trade.” Offsets allow polluters to, for example, pay to preserve an acre of forest so they can continue burning coal above the cap. The concept’s problems are legion and well-documented.”

Obama’s healthcare punishes the healthy! Here’s a quote from ABC’s website… not only is Obama flip-flopping on issues (or as he calls it “evolving”), he’s pressuring America into another poorly planned, quickly executed multi-trillion dollar program. It’s absurd!

For the full story – Obama’s Crazy Plan

“As a candidate, then-Sen. Obama bashed his rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, for proposing that Americans be mandated to have health insurance.

“She’d have the government force you to buy health insurance,” he said Feb. 23, 2008. “I disagree with that approach. I believe that the reason Americans don’t have health care isn’t because no one’s forced them to buy it, it’s because no one’s made it affordable.”
But now the president is acknowledging that his thinking on the issue has “evolved” and he could support a law mandating that individuals purchase health care coverage, with fines for those who do not.

Obama stressed that there must be some kind of waiver for those who are simply unable to afford it.

“People have made some pretty compelling arguments to me that if we want to have a system that drives down costs for everybody, then we’ve got to have healthier people not opt out of the system,” the president told ABC News.”

No He Can’t

Fellow Americans,

Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul’s name as my choice for president.

Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America.

I cannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is no smile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears of triumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, I would have to deny all that I know about the requirements of human flourishing and survival, – all that I know about the history of the United States of America, all that I know about American race relations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. I would have to deny the nature of the “change” that Obama asserts has come to America.
