Time to Get Rid of the EPA

The lights went out in vast regions of Southern California on September 8. A freak East Coast snow storm left millions without power October 29. Some Connecticut customers, however, were restored power today, nearly twelve days later. In both cases, the EPA can be cited as the initial and continuing cause of the power outages, respectively.

EPA = guilty
We tend to blame the weather and other natural forces for our power troubles. But, a look beyond the obvious to the obviously guilty party reveals the EPA. The overreaching government agency is hell bent on saving the planet at the expense of the people living on it. Now, the EPA targets the reliable supply of electricity as the means of preserving the environment it serves.

EPA = cover-up
The EPA has been caught red-handed in the suppression of documents that would have raised reliability issues regarding electricity. In its attempts to kill coal-fired plants, EPA's regulations strangle any reliable sources from producing reliable supply. The EPA acknowledged electric reliability issues but covered it up, according to a Wall Street Journal article. Enter the EPA into the ranks of political gangsters.

EPA = ruination
Here's a government agency conducting a cover-up, a seemingly weekly event issued by those in control. Besides covering up, the EPA's overreach debilitates individuals and businesses nationwide. Examples abound:

George Hahn lost his livelihood, home and business because the EPA called worm poop a pesticide rather than the worm poop that it is.

Americans are denied the use of incandescent lights, with toxic mercury-containing bulbs as the required alternatives.

Five businesses leave California every week for non-compliance with impossible environmental rules, regulations, and restrictions.

Energy is outlawed in America because the EPA wants nobody finding, producing, and using it here.

Good GOP idea
Newt Gingrich was the first and only GOP candidate to suggest ridding the country of its tyranny by ridding the country of the EPA. "Out with the EPA," he said. What a kick-start for the country economically! And what a good way to restore electricity on demand, something some Americans have been without for some time for no good reason.

But Gingrich, like all good GOP candidates, has been tainted by the irrelevant nonsense the mainstream media manages to dredge up. Now that he's on the rise again amid the others who have been trashed, Gingrich, again, is the target for slurs. A self declared change agent, Gingrich would dissolve the EPA to a harmless speck of dust despite public discussions of his marital relationships.

EPA = unreliable electricity
It would be one thing if liberals showed better bedroom behavior than that of GOP candidates they seek to take down. It's another thing to ignore the good GOP ideas for bringing America back on its feet. Besides, those poor Connecticut folks deserve some reliable electricity, something they've been without, time and again. They will remember who brought their electricity back when it comes time for their 2012 vote.

EPA = nothing good
Better yet, get rid of the EPA, Gingrich or not, snowstorms or sunny weather, and whether the polar ice caps get thicker or thinner. Who needs an organization that has nothing better to do than to think up ways for everybody else to do worse.

EPA = carbon trading
If the EPA is not in the business of making business tougher for every American, I don't know what business they're in. Oh, yes. They're in the business of creating a market for carbon, the commodity that nobody wants. EPA cronies, however, make money from carbon trading, which turns out to be a lucrative business that doesn't give a rat's derriere about the air. And here, you thought the EPA keeps the environment clean.

EPA = out
Think again, naïve America! Let's get the overreaching, out-of-touch, over-zealous, self-serving EPA out of our hair, because it's not about the air. It's about and getting America going again. And getting electricity once again at the flip of a switch.
