When Legislators Don't Legislate

Now, here we are at the end of this week. And I was talking to a friend yesterday, and I said, you know what, I think that if Obama wanted to dissolve the Congress and dissolve the Senate because they just weren’t getting the job done, and he needed more power to deal with BP, then he would just sign an executive order and send them all home, declare some kind of a rebellion or martial law or whatever, you people would take it. We’d take it.

That’s basically what happened yesterday. The Senate voted itself out of a job, decided that it does not have the plenary authority, the legislative authority to pass the laws that tell the EPA what it is supposed to do, and instead that EPA, which is not elected, does not have to answer to voters in any of the 50 states, doesn’t have anyone that has a nameplate, you can’t look them up on the Internet and start a complaint line or anything, that the Environmental Protection Agency is its own super legislature. You don’t think that if they can get away with this, that they couldn’t get away with just dissolving the Senate and the House and just going home and appointing Obama king? What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it?

I have the answer to that question. You’re not going to do anything about it. None of us are going to do anything about it. We’re going to sit out here, we’re going to play Scrabble with our friends, we’re going to cook hotdogs and hamburgers and go about our merry way and not worry about it any longer because, “Chris, Chris there’s nothing really we can do about it. We’re powerless.” I mean, this is really what it’s coming down to here.

Now, I know that there are elections in November, and a lot of people are pinning their hopes, thinking, “Oh, we’re going to get them back. We’re going to fix this thing. We’re going to – you wait and see, Mr. Church. Stop with your negativity.” Why don’t you call me up and give me something to be positive over, as it applies to our federal Leviathan out there. Because if it exists, I do not see it. Maybe my eyes are closed. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t good things happening outside of government because there always are. We are, after all, Americans. Well, we were when we woke up this morning. I don’t know how much longer that will hold true. But we shall press on.

Now, I have this story here. There’s 53 Senators that voted yesterday to allow the Environmental Protection Agency to – did you here Schumer? Well did you? Blah blah blah blah blah. Yes, 53 members of the United States Senate basically decided yesterday that they don’t care to actually cast votes on things that their constituents have sent them there to cast votes on, that it is not a worthy endeavor anymore. Well, we can just hand this off to an agency. Now, this has been one of the – how do I want to say this? – one of the causes célèbres that we have talked about here on this show for the last three years solid, which is the separation of powers and the enumeration of powers. Nowhere in the federal compact can you divine a power that would give any agency, no matter who created it or when it was created, the authority to regulate the air you exhale. Yet that is exactly what the EPA is going to do.

You have Democrats that are elected in states that produce coal, Robert Byrd from West Virginia being one, Bob Casey from Pennsylvania being another. What do you people in Pennsylvania produce? Do you have coal mines? Or did I read that wrong in the encyclopedia when I was a little boy? You remember how when you’re a little kid, you look at the encyclopedia of the states, and it would show you little icon symbols like the nondescript androgynous Olympic symbols for running, track, field, swimming and what have you? Well, they’d have the coal mine symbol in the western part of Pennsylvania; right? Don’t I have that right? There’s coal in Pennsylvania; right? Your senator, Bob Casey, threw you under the bus yesterday, backed it up, beep beep beep, and then put it in forward and ran you over again. How does this happen? What is produced when Pennsylvania coal is burned? What gas is produced? Carbon dioxide. What is produced when West Virginia coal is burned? Carbon dioxide. Does it matter? Nope.

So the Senate votes yesterday against the Murkowski resolution. What was the Murkowski resolution? That was from a senator from Alaska, Lisa Murkowski, who said that we have to stop the EPA from enforcing this endangerment finding that a Supreme Court said the EPA must enforce. You may recall in 2008 there was a lawsuit that was filed. It made its way all the way to the Supreme Court. In a five-to-four act of tyranny, five justices who will never face a reelection campaign decided that the Environmental Protection Agency must unilaterally act to protect Americans, using the Clean Air Act, from the horrors of carbon dioxide. In other words, from the horrors of what the person sitting next to you is exhaling right now. In other words, from the horrors – if you go outside, look at your lawn, look at a tree in your front yard – from the horrors of what your tree is eating, from the horrors of what the bushes are eating, from the horrors of what the pepper plants in my backyard are digesting. It’s called carbon dioxide.

And so the EPA has been rattling its saber, saying, yeah, we kind of like that Supreme Court ruling, even though it’s totally unconstitutional, even though we have no authority to write laws whatsoever. We’re just going to go ahead and do it anyways. And so now they have moved to do this. And the United States Senate could have reasserted its authority to pass these laws. It is the Congress’s job, if such a determination is to be made, that there should be regulation of carbon dioxide, and that you are a threat to the planet by your simple existence. Hell, think of it like this. Mammals, if you go through the fossil record, what, you have the rise and fall of the dinosaurs. And then after the dinosaurs get cleared out, what happens? It’s the rise of the mammals. Right? Mammals exhale carbon dioxide. I’m not breaking any news here. Maybe to the Senate I am. Maybe to Obama I am, who is ordering his EPA director, that little midget, that little tyrannical tinhorn dictator midget, Lisa Jackson, to start implementing these rules.

And so yesterday the Senate had a chance to vote to stop this, and they did not do so. This is why I bring this up with sadness. This is an absolute horrible day. I can scream and holler from now till the end of time. I don’t think it’ll matter. Most people are going to cook out this weekend, not going to worry about it. Most of your friends and neighbors don’t even know that it happened. And life will proceed. It’ll become more difficult for life to proceed. But as a great Virginian once wrote, once acts of tyranny and slavery are passed, and you kind of get used to them, you pass them on to the next generation, and the next generation doesn’t know that they’re slaves. And so they’re pretty happy with them. They don’t mind. That’s what’s happening in this republic today. So I ask you again, what are you going to do about it?
Answer: Not a G-damn thing.
But “Chris, we’re going to vote this November.” That’s just not good enough anymore. Like I say all the time, you’re not radical enough, and this country is not polorized enough for me!

More Left-wing Violence at Peaceful Tea Party Protests

The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress. Tea Party activists in Tampa and St. Louis were beaten by left wing activists earlier this year. Add Greensboro to that list. This week, a group of local citizens in North Carolina protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment were accosted and then physically attacked by a left-wing activist who blamed George Bush for America’s ills.

Dont think for one minute that this type of violence is not what obama has planned, this is exactly what he wants, and has openly called for!

LeMieux blasts Obama spill response as ‘dereliction of duty’

LeMieux blasts Obama spill response as ‘dereliction of duty’

Insight from a man who actually lives in Louisiana and who doesnt kiss up to Dear Leader...

Mike: So I was not around on Friday when our supreme allied oil commander-in-chief made his vaunted appearance, the messianic appearance down on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. You know, even the local TV stations, or at least one of them, picked up on this, that if you saw the photo op setup for Obama’s appearance on the beach at Grand Isle, Louisiana, if you saw it with a wide-angle lens, you saw all the White House’s miniature versions of Annie Lebowitz there. No no no no. No, there’s a seashell in the way. Oh, no, he needs to move to the right. No, there’s a rig out there in the background. It doesn’t look right. What an absolute scam. But Obama was on the job

You know what’s the amazing thing about this, and for the first four days that I was out I tried to stay away from the news. So I’ll just confess to you that, other than my friends calling me and demanding that I turn the TV on Friday, and demanding that I go on the air on Saturday and denounce the President’s appearance here as nothing more than a press conference photo op that did nothing to stop the flow of oil – as a matter of fact it seems – now, this is an amazing thing, absolutely amazing. The worst television network out there is OMSNBC. Now, the only reason that they’re the worst is because the Clinton News Network, CNN, actually spends more money on talent. They actually spend more money trying to fake that they’re not the worst. And this is how this is being perceived down here in Southeast Louisiana at oil spill central.

And I keep hearing this from friends; I see it on television; I hear it on the radio around here. And they say, why, look at what CNN’s done. Where’s Fox News? Why aren’t they down? Why aren’t they here covering this? People are upset that Fox News has not sent its entire news team to the beaches of Grand Isle so that they can demagogue this thing and give it coverage. And so the Clinton News Network has revived its fortunes a little bit. Now, the worst thing that can happen for CNN right now is for this latest operation of BP to stop the spill, is for it to actually work. If that were to happen, well, that would be absolutely damaging to CNN. There’s no one that is cheerleading this more than the Clinton News Network right now. Believe me, folks, in the newsrooms at CNN they are sitting there waiting with bated breath, I mean, their future relies, their future lies on the failure, or is reliant on the failure of BP to cap the leak.

So how amazing is this? Today is Wednesday, June the 2nd. I haven’t been here for five days, six days. And in the six days that I was gone, little has changed. And I’m going to reiterate something to you again that we talked about all last week. And it seems like I’m the only little voice of reason out here crying in the wilderness. “Mike, what are you going to reiterate?” Well, it’s very simple. Government has demonstrated, especially the federal government, has demonstrated the outright utter absurdity that it can effectively manage anything beyond a few specific enumerated powers that it ought to be carrying out. Certainly not oil spill control. Now, they’re good at damage control. They’re in damage control mode. But they are not good at oil spill control. I mean, it is absolute folly to rely on them. It just – when does the rest of the republic, when do the rest of the people come around to the realization that there are very few things that any governing body actually does correctly?

Here’s what they do right. They can run a money printing press correctly. We know they can do that. They can start wars, and they can kill people all around the globe, 365 days out of the year. They can do that. They can build one hell of a nuclear device which can destroy people that the previous wars did not get to, should they be used. They can do that. They can run a decent court system and lock people away for making individual choices in their lives. They can do that. They can run a prison system. They can do that. Let’s see. They can’t do the border. Can’t write rules for naturalization and immigration. They fail to do that. Can’t enforce the rules that they have already written. And now we believe that Attorney General Eric Holder showing up here on the beaches of Grand Isle with a couple satchels full of subpoenas and legal papers, if we just stuff that into the mouth of the Deep Horizon oil spill, that will clean – that will stop the leak. How ridiculous is this?

[Mimicking President Obama] “Now, let me assure the American people that we will bring to justice those that are responsible for this.” Here, let’s bring some of the people that are responsible for this. How about the government bureaucrats that helped craft the rules that allowed this thing to take place in the first place? How about this? How about finding out which airhead bureaucrat or which airhead senator or congressman’s idea it was to stop issuing – it might have been a bureau chief – to stop issuing permits to drill in shallow water, forcing companies like British Petroleum to get off the land and to invent new and more better ways to go and drill out in the middle of the damn Gulf of Mexico in one mile of water? How about that? Why don’t we find out who that person was? Seems to me that much of this anger is directed in the wrong direction, or is being put out there in the wrong direction. What I mean by that is the idea that government works, and this is why people are upset. Welcome to our nightmare, ladies and gentlemen. Just wait till they get a hold of your healthcare.

How many, I wonder how many lawsuits it – this is like the old joke, how many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb? How many lawyers does it take to fill the Deep Horizon oil spill up, to plug it up? [Mimicking President Obama] “Plug the damn hole. Get in there and plug up the damn hole.” Oh, we have lots of other news. Oh, this is a great one. Now, 10 days ago I reported to you right here on this program that actor Kevin Costner had an idea, as a matter of fact he patented the damn thing. It’s a ship that goes out into bodies of water like, oh, I don’t know, the Gulf of Mexico maybe, and this ship looks for these things called, oh, I think they’re called oil spills. And when the ship that Kevin Costner runs and invested his money into finds said oil spill, it – here comes a – now give me a drum roll. It sucks the oil in the water out of the Gulf at the same time onto the ship.

Now, bear with me here. This is really complicated stuff. I don’t expect any bureaucrats to get this. I certainly don’t expect any members of Congress to get it. And I know the President isn’t going to get it. Otherwise we’d have 50 supertankers out there doing this right now. They pump the oil and water mixture onto the ship. And this oil and water separator gizmo device separates the oil from the water, takes the oil portion of it, and pumps it into what’s called a storage tank. I mean, this is, folks, this is high tech, never before done on American or international waters stuff before. And then it takes the water that it has separated from the oil; and it, why, it pumps it back out into the Gulf. What a fantastic idea. Hey, does anyone know where there may be a giant oil spill where we can try this out?

Silence from the Obama administration. Silence from the Minerals and Management Service. Silence from the Environmental Protection Agency. Silence – hey, maybe Eric Holder knows. Boy, this Eric Holder guy has been busy while I’ve been on vacation, too. He’s overseas – let’s see here. He’s suing Arizona. He’s suing BP. He’s going to clean up the Gulf. He’s going to clean up the border of Arizona. And then he’s overseas, and now he’ll have to sue someone in Israel for the flotilla incident yesterday.

All I can say is that Mike Church is right on the money, and says what needs to be said.....he tells it like it is and doesnt give a damn what chairman Mau has to say!
Bring it on Mike, bring it on...
