Revolution, anyone?: Outrage in the House
Buzz up!Friday, July 3, 2009


Here's a real dander-raiser on the eve of the 233rd anniversary of the Declaration of Independence:

Few if any members of the U.S. House of Representatives that last week narrowly voted to pass the outrageous and deceitfully titled American Clean Energy and Security Act actually read the bill.

That's the hardly surprising -- but still unacceptable -- conclusion of Jonathan Adler, a Case Western Reserve University legal scholar writing in National Review Online. The legislation, commonly called the "cap-and-trade" bill, would impose an onerous, if not socialist, regimen on just about every aspect of American life at a cost ridiculously low-balled by the supposedly nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Hilariously billed as a "market-based" approach to dealing with "climate change," a dubious concept to begin with, it is government command economics at its writ-large worst. Let's call the Waxman-Markey bill, as it's also known, what it is -- the "Wackey" bill.

But just as bad as is the measure that the Senate will consider in the fall is the manner in which it passed the lower chamber. From NRO's Adler:

"When Waxman-Markey finally hit the floor, there was no actual bill. Not one single copy of the full legislation that would, hours later, be subject to a final vote was available to members of the House. The text made available to some members of Congress still had 'placeholders' -- blank provisions to be filled in by subsequent language -- including one for the regulation of climate derivatives. ... Even the House Clerk's office lacked a complete copy of the legislation and was forced to place a copy of the 1,200-page draft side-by-side with the 300-page amendments."

Makes no sense and the adverbs seem like some one randomly pulling large words out of the air to impress.

"When Waxman-Markey finally hit the floor, there was no actual bill. Not one single copy of the full legislation that would, hours later, be subject to a final vote was available to members of the House.

That one paragraph sums it up perfectly to me. These idiot democrat/communist House members, along with 8 turncoat Republicans, voted for a Bill that they nor any of their aids actually read. The real disgusting part is that they voted for a Bill that had blanks for the important parts that will be filled in later. Who in his right mind would signoff on something like this.

These people have no idea what they are doing to our country or maybe they do and it's just part of the plan. We are doomed if at least a few more democrats don't come to their senses and stop this madness that Obama/Reid/Pelosi are trying to cram down the American peoples throat.
