Those Environmentalist Kill Another Town Again

I say "those" because there is a majority of people that love their environment and then there are those that hate other people's environment. "Those" environmentalists destroy in the name of good and smugly go back to their huge offices to gather their electronic "needs", drive their cars home and sip wine before eating an expensive environmentally "safe" dinner.

Not so in the Sharples area of West Virginia.

Area coal industry leaders, lawmakers react to EPA mine permit revocation

“the Obama administration and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson are addressing the importance of environmental justice in Appalachia and taking steps to begin protecting these communities,” according to a press release issued by Earthjustice.

Justice? Right. Justice would be if these credentialed know-nothings were made to live, actually live, and work in the areas they smugly control through government decree rulings from their puppets in unnecessary departments of government such as the EPA.

President Obama is now being ruled by the monster he empowered and enlarged, called the bureaucracy, as they slap not just him, but also citizens, in the face by making him a liar. In the not too distant past the president had this to say:

“Five miles into a mountain. The only light, the lamp on their caps. Day after day they would burrow into the coal. The fruits of their labor that so often we take for granted. The electricity that lights up a convention center; that lights up our church or our home our school our office. The energy that powers our country. The energy that powers the world."

Not now. The energy that powers the world is being crushed by mere bureaucrats and naive and ignorant extremists groups like Earth Justice. A statement of purpose from Earth Justice on the ruling:

Although we are grateful for the EPA’s action today, EPA must follow through by vetoing the scores of other Corps permits that violate the Clean Water Act and that would allow mountaintop mines to lay waste to our mountains and streams.”

So, by government fiat Earth Justice wants to crush projects all over Appalachia. Just as these groups have done in the Western parts of North America they now want to include Appalachia in a system of protected areas that already include over 1/3 of the entire land mass of the United States of America. That is 1/3 of our land that not only forbids our energy future, but also is under the complete control of government. That control means that for a fee a citizen might enjoy the land for a few minutes, but they cannot produce, nor can they live, on that land. That is not only theft by government on individuals, but also theft that robs all of our citizens as the land stays fallow.

These anti-societal groups envision a land mass called the Appalachian National Park that citizens can gaze at, but not touch. The citizens will do so from cold homes which offer no comfort for the unemployed and those devastated by a ruined economy, but what will Earth Justice care? They will still have jobs in cramped expensive urban cores where they live because we will still pay through our taxes their salaries so they can mete out more "justice."

That will bring comfort to the people of Sharples.

Obama Kills More Jobs In WV, Manchin Munchin' On Defeat

As the science on climate change climate disaster climate weirdness global warming comes under more scrutiny, ergo exposing its lies, Obama and clan double down on restrictions, laws, rules and regulations to kill more jobs to "allow" companies to more better fall in line with the administration's "you're with us or you're dead" PC agenda. The Green Agenda. The anti-Appalachia Agenda. The anti-American Agenda. The anti-Jobs and Working Man Agenda.

It's easy to be president if you're a professor. Facts and reality never get in the way of, well, reality and facts.

Did Obama toss Manchin under the bus?

Republican Spike Maynard received a big boost in his campaign to unseat 17-term Democratic Congressman Nick Joe Rahall on Friday as President Obama — through his EPA Administrator — pulled the plug on a major mine by vetoing its mine permit.

Come to think of it, Obama’s old buddy, Democratic Governor Joe Manchin got the flaming bag of dog doo on his porch, too.

Republican John Raese thanks The Won for small favors.

As the sign says: “Obama says, Vote Democrat.”

Of course, Manchin will say this is why he is West Virginia's best hope in DC. His being a guard dog for West Virginia. Because he is a Democrat. Because he grew up in coal country and now lives in the lap of luxury. How embarrassing for West Virginia.

Besides, what can a guard dog tea cup poodle do to a tea cup intellectual? The real question should be, what can a group of pissed off real Mountaineers do to a group of wussified greenies?

Me? I'll bet on the Mountaineers. Manchin, you deserve to lose, especially after your fake faux gun shots at the Energy Bill. Probably had fois gras with the gun powder. Nothing worse than a nouveau riche that fails at being nouveau riche.
