Audio Of Obama Saying He WILL Bankrupt The Coal Industry

Posted on November 3rd, 2008 in General by rfburnhertz

Naked Emperor News nails Barack Obama again.

This time Naked Emperor has unearthed audio of Barack saying he will bankrupt the coal industry.

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.

It’s just that it will bankrupt them.

Bankrupting the coal industry so could put more than one hundred thousand people in the unemployment line, meaning more competition for already hard to find jobs as well as skyrocketing energy costs.

No new coal plants would be built, the cost will prohibit their building.

In the audio Barack said:

every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter

How far would he take this charging (read: taxation) of “polluters”?
You and I are in fact polluters to one extent or the other.

There exist untold number of ways to charge businesses and individuals for their pollution, energy is not the only pollution we produce.

He talks of using the money gathered from the greenhouse emissions tax to finance alternative energies. There are no alternative energies on the table right now that are anywhere near being viable in such a way as to even consider replacing coal.

Any such alternative energies which might hold potential to replace coal are at best more than a decade from viability.

The taxation of greenhouse emissions may in fact generate billions of dollars as he say’s, it will also generate joblessness, individual reliance on government (which I’m sure would please him), given time it isn’t hard to imagine brownouts and rolling blackout across the nation.

America may well make a very disastrous choice this November 4th if they choose Barack Obama to lead this nation.

I am not among the money silly conservatives who believe that Barack Obama is a good and well intentioned man with bad ideas.

I believe the considerable and ever mounting evidence suggests that he is anything but well intentioned and is a man with very specific plans. Plans which mean to make as many Americans as possible dependent, even subservient to the government.

Obama’s America; A Sneak-Peek?

Posted on October 29th, 2008 in Pro-Life, Religion, United States Politics by rfburnhertz

Focus on the Family’s Citizenlink has produced for their Turn Signal a video which theorizes what America might look like in the year 2012 as a result of an Obama presidency.
I fear they might not be to far off target.
In fact, it might be a little optimistic.
I had some issues embedding the video, it works but some of the coding carried over into this post.
You can always go to the Turn Signal link above to view the video on the Citizenlink website.

Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama

Posted on October 25th, 2008 in United States Politics by rfburnhertz

As I’ve noted I’ll be covering ground that has already been covered.
Nothing like a little reminder from time to time though.

Barack Obama has confirmed to me that he is indeed a socialist of the first order by way of word, action and association.

There are those in America who consider themselves to be Socialist, Communist or Marxist who don’t believe Obama falls into any of those categories.
They do however believe he represents their views close enough that they are willing to back him and give to him their votes.

That fact means something.

My Barack Obama Community Blogs

This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx’s writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat. Though the Democratic Socialists of America or the Communist Patty of America may have more Socialististic values, it is pointless to vote for these candidates due to the fact that there is virutally no chance they will be elected on a National level.

It also means something that a blog for self proclaimed “Marxist,Socialists, and Communists” would be allowed on the Obama site  my.barackobama.com is a part of barackobama.com).

One would think that someone who rejects such worldviews would also reject such content and statements being place on their campaign website.

Barack Obama may not be a full on Marxist, but he is damn close and too damn close as to be allowed to be the President of this nation.

That he would even be given such very serious consideration by the American people demonstrates just how very far we have moved from the America created and envisioned by those who founded our nation.
