I came out of my chair and started dancing around the room when I heard this. Rand Paul perfectly expresses the outrage most Americans feel about the “busy body” nature of bureaucrats telling us what to buy. THIS IS AWESOME!

Eco-Nut Bus Driver

An eco-nut bus driver in Utah was fired this week after he took middle school students to a protest rally on the way home from a field trip. He says he wanted show the kids another kind of “revolution.” The protest he took the kids to was in support of an environmental activist about to go on trial. What’s worse, the teachers on the bus didn’t object when the driver informed them of the diversion they would be taking on the way home.

Here’s an article that makes you want to both laugh and cry. Laugh because it’s hard to imagine politicians could be this dumb, and cry because their stupidity is destroying America.

When it comes to killing jobs and shipping them to China nothing accomplishes it faster than the phony “Green” movement. Idiots like Sen. Barbara Boxer have spent decades dismantling California’s economy with their environmental extremism.

The election of Barack Obama took California’s job killing green crusade nationwide. Now we’re all paying the price for Al Gore’s fantasies about a warming earth.

The Washington Post is reporting on the closure of the last GE factory in the US that makes incandescent light bulbs. The 200+ workers at that plant are about to join the millions of other Americans who are out of work.

Why did this happen? Because politicians in Washington decided what kind of light bulb we should use. In 2007, a so-called “energy conservation measure” passed by Congress set standards that basically banned the manufacture of incandescent light bulbs by 2014 (a mere 4 years from now).

The politicians theorized that banning incandescent bulbs would force factories to begin making compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) instead. The end result would be that every home in America was more energy efficient whether they wanted to be or not! Ha! What a perfect plan, right?

It didn’t quite work out that way (which only comes as a surprise in DC). See, it’s much more expensive to make CFLs, because the twisted spiral glass tubes require more hand labor. What kind of hand labor do you figure would be making those bulbs? How about…union labor! What is union labor? Expensive! So if you were GE what would you do? Make them in China for a fraction of the cost? Ha, so would I.

Of course the government could interfere once again and simply force companies to make the light bulbs here, right? I’m sure unions would f*cking love that. But then increased cost of making the bulbs would be passed on to consumers causing light bulbs to become ridiculously expensive. Since the old bulbs are banned, if you’re unable to afford the pricey new light bulbs you’re going to be eating by candle light.

This is what happens when the government sticks their snout into everything. If the politicians would’ve left our f*cking light bulbs alone in 2007 those 200 workers plus thousands of others just like them would still be employed.

We need to put the brakes on the out-of-control environmental movement. Think about that when you  cast your vote this November.

The EPA now officially thinks it’s God. This is so absurd I’m waiting to hear that this story is made up. The EPA is seeking to regulate dust on farms.

I think the EPA needs to regulate farts after this. What do you think?

Senator Jim DeMint has a disturbing op-ed in today’s Washington Times about The White House’s secret plan to seize 10 million acres of land. It’s a clear giveaway to the eco-nuts and a middle finger to the American people and the economy.

The Washington Times has a great editorial about the giant scam that is global warming, and the recent hacked emails that prove it. Everything skeptics like myself have been saying for years was proven true in those emails. Many climatologists have ceased being scientists and instead have become evangelists for a kind of eco-religion that is based on ideology rather than sound science.

Federal authorities failed to follow through on plans to burn away highly flammable brush at the edge of L.A. to prevent raging forest fires.

After battling environmental groups in the courts the U.S. Forest Service finally obtained a permit to do a controlled burn on more than 1,700 acres of Angeles National Forest.

Due to pressure from liberal groups the Feds dragged their feet and only cleared a 193 acres before the wildfires sparked.

Even though this latest blaze has burned more than 5 dozen homes and killed two firefighters, a biologist with the Center for Biological Diversity had this to say (emphasis mine):

iologist Ileene Anderson with the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental organization, said burn permits should be difficult to get because of the potential damage to air quality. Clearing chaparral by hand or machine must be closely scrutinized because it can hurt native species.

Notice the enviro-kooks always look out for everything except human beings. It doesn’t matter how many people or homes burn as long as the “native species” are not harmed.

People in California need to wake the hell up and take their state back from the environmental Marxists and loony progressives. Until they do, California will continue falling apart.
