California’s Freedom-Haters accomplish a twofer
Not a good time to be in the construction industry in the Golden State.

Constitution? That was for that old United States of America
The Most Equal Comrade plans to use an executive order to create a National Ocean Council, and it’s going to encroach on the rights not only of coastal states, but Great Lakes states as well. And its co-chair is going to be John “paint-all-the-roofs-white-and-sterilize-the-human-race” Holdren.
Then there’s the memo issued by the U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Service outlining ways the Most Equal Comrade could circumvent the need for legislative action to bring about “comprehensive” reform and grant amnesty to illegals by fiat.
This is getting real scary. This is way outside the bounds of historical political back-and-forth.

When an autocrat with utter disregard for the Constitution harbors utopian fantasies with the zeal with which he ought to harbor patriotism . . .
. . . thousands of jobs vanish – by design.

Number 38 and proud
Did you know that the National Academy of Sciences maintains an enemies list? Frank Tipler is on it, something he considers a true honor.

Distorting the free market with money we don’t have in the name of an obvious lie
The Most Equal Comrade, deliberately ruining America on a daily basis. Today, the front he acts on is solar panels.

We’ll see if any Pubs fall for this – and then fire them
This is the kind of juncture at which we can find out precisely the extent to which the GOP still suffers from Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome.
Per Senator Global Test, TCM had a “constructive” meeting with senators from both parties at which he said he was ready to “scale back” his energy/climate proposal to get Pubs on board. Global Test said TCM was adamant, however, that “putting a price on carbon” was still at the core of what he intends.
There will be some RSG-afflicted Pubs who will stroke their chins and say there are merits to some portions of the FHer vision on this. We can be sure that Grahamnesty and McLame will be in that camp. Possibly the Maine ladies as well. So we will have the advantage of knowing where to breathe our fire.

It means “make certain things more expensive and thereby distort the free market”

Because the regime hates economic well-being
The MMS has extended the drilling ban beyond just deep-water sites to include water of any depth.

How a Reasonable Gentleman sets priorities
A word of explanation may be in order for new readers. At BN, we employ some terms of our own coining, one of which is Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome. It refers to the notion that normal people who cherish liberty enough to give it some thought when examining particular issues, particularly normal legislators and those responsible for government policies, can “reach across the aisle” and work with Freedom-Haters. It’s that mindset that assumes that because one sees these people in the Capitol Hill mess at lunch, or at social functions around town, or on Parents day at one’s kids’ school, one can be assured that FHers are really just nice, reasonable Americans looking for real solutions to issues, albeit coming at them from a little different angle. Many a normal-person-type statesman has had his or her entrails clawed out for making such a calculation.
Lindsey Graham buffs up his RG bona fides by telling Harry Reid that, by golly, he has principles, and won’t put giving a wink and nod to illegal aliens before imposing tyranny in the name of discredited science. Now, that’s some cajones, Congressman Squishy!

The next means for the seizure of yet more of your assets at gunpoint
. . . is the newly revitalized cap-and-trade push (all the more insidious given what we know about the science, per the post below), being readied for ram-through by the usual cabal of Freedom-Haters and Reasonable Gentlemen (at least two of whom are women – from Maine).
Each new attempt to spin or obfuscate further obliterates the last shreds of the climate-change crowd’s legitimacy
. . . as is demonstrated by two new reports of very different intention.

But it acheived its real purpose: making FHers feel good about themselves
The green-jobs portion of the stimulus has had, um, underwhelming results.
In fact, jobs of any kind are still hard to come by.
My solution would be to abolish the damn thing
The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Iain MacMurray, writing in the Washington Times, says the EPA needs to be shrunk and defanged, that, with the 34 percent increase in its budget in the last year, it has way overstepped the bounds of constitutionality and economic sanity.
Money line: “A rogue regulatory agency is like an oil tanker with sails.”

From “I’m pursuing a high calling” to “at least I have a job”
Excellent Michael Barone column in which he compares the climate of diminished expectations in the age of the Most Equal Comrade with the robust sense of vision and possibility of that 1983 – 2007 era, when people assumed they could make a living delivering what the world deeply needed and they found deeply fulfilling.
04.01.10
Then there’s the upcoming EPA tax on CO2 emissions
Which, per what I was saying in the post below, drives home (excuse the pun) the point about the stability of oil prices.
All in the name of a massive scientific fraud.

The deranged utopian vision of the Freedom-Hater regime – today’s edition
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says that there will be no offshore drilling while TCM is in office.
This is another one of those matters on which the overlords are on the opposite side from the overwhelming majority of us.
