Section 304 of Cap-n-Bleed Gives Control of Your Home to the Government
Most certainly a must read for anyone who owns a home or is considering purchasing one:
If You Don’t Hate the Cap and Trade Bill, Let Me Show You Section 304
I bet you thought that if you bought a house, you actually own it and can, with reasonable exceptions, do with it what you want. You probably think that if you want to live in a log cabin, with wood stoves that belch smoke into the air for heat, and an old washer and dryer that don’t have those little EnergyStar stickers on them you can because it’s your life and your property. You paid for it with money you earned with the sweat of your brow and what the heck is America anyhow if a body can’t live in the home they want furnished with the appliances they want?
Ah, silly you. You didn’t reckon on the Democratic Party’s desire to control every miniscule aspect of your life.
Let me introduce you to a little section of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill called the “Building Energy Performance Labeling Program”. It’s section 304 of the bill and it says, basically, that your house belongs to the state. See, the Federal Government really wants a country full of energy-efficient homes, so much so that the bill mandates that new homes be 30 percent more energy efficient than the current building code on the very day the law is signed. That efficiency goes up to 50 percent by 2014 and only goes higher from there, all the way to 2030. That, by the way, is not merely a target but a requirement of the law. New homes must reach those efficiency targets no matter what.

ARE WE ALL SPEECHLESS? WHAT IS THE POINT THAT WE ALL GO TO WASHINGTON AND REMOVE, BODILY, THESE TERRORISTS WHO CALL THEMSELVES PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, ALL THE CZARS, OVER 50% OF THE CONGRESS, OVER 50% OF THE SUPREME COURT AND REDO THE RUNNING OF THIS COUNTRY TO MORE MATCH THE TENENTS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE BILL OF RIGHTS, AND THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION. WE DO AWAY WITH 80% OF THE GOVERNMENT RULES, REGS AND INTERFERENCE INTO PERSONAL LIFE AND LIBERTY. DO AWAY WITH THE IRS, EDUCATION SYSTEM, HUD, AND ALL THE SELF-SERVING RED TAPE GOVERNMENT JOBS–DO AWAY WITH WELFARE AS WE KNOW IT, DO AWAY WITH THE PERKS OF THE CONGRESS. PUT TERM LIMITS ON, DO A FLAT TAX ACROSS THE BOARD FOR FEDERAL TAXING THAT WILL NOT REQUIRE THE IRS. CLOSE OUR BORDERS TO ALL ILLEGALS, SEND HOME THE ONES WHO ARE HERE, CUT CUT CUT TAXES TO REALLY DO SOME STIMULATING, GET THE LEAD OUT AND GET TO OUR OWN ENERGY SOURCES. FOR HEAVENS SAKE, GET ALGORE AND HIS STUPID EPA AND GLOBAL WARMING CREW OUT OF THE WAY. MAKE HIM PAY BACK ALL THE EXPENSES HE HAS CAUSED WITH THE EPA JUNK SCIENCE. LET IT BE INCONVENIENT FOR HIM FOR A CHANGE. BUILD OUR MILITARY AND SUPPORT OUR TROUPS. PUT GOD BACK INTO OUR LIVES–GET ON OUR FACES AND ASK HIS FORGIVENESS. SUPPORT ISRAEL. STAND UP TO THE MUZZIES ON OUT SOIL AND SEND THEM PACKING TOO. EITHER THEY BECOME AND ACCOMODATE TO AMERICAN WAYS OR THEY CAN GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM. THIS IS MY COUNTRY.

This is positively outrageous!
I wish I could think of something to do about it. No luck as yet, short of a revolution
Doc:
I have emailed you a pdf of Joanna Nova’s latest piece: “The Skeptics Handbook”.
Sorry if I am overwhelming you with info. Somehow in our own small way we need to get the word out.
Daniel Greenfield (Sultan Knish), has a great piece on cap and trade (yesterday) and today’s piece – set in the future is also very good.
