Sounds a little like the plot for the last book in the Left Behind series!

Members of the scientific community are funded by being conspiracy theorists.So should we take your word for it then, Rob?
I tend to trust the established scientific community not conspiracy theorists.

So you did complaints about any previous president? Sitting by and remaining silent is terrible. If people feel something unjust is being pursued by the Obama admin people have every right and should speak up about it

Pre-election Obama: “I’m not going to raise taxes on ANYBODY who makes less than $250,000 a year.”
Post-Election Obama: “All insured Americans will have to pay an additional $65 fee this year to help fund the Affordable Health Care Act.”
See folks? You’re not being taxed more. Those are FEES, not taxes. Don’tcha feel better now?

The democrats are not interested the health and safety of anyone. This all about taking away individual freedom.
And the global warmingthing was proved be a hoax a long time ago.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration did not reduce the daily limit to 10 hours or less as logistics industry executives had feared, but the rule requires a 30-minute rest after eight consecutive hours of driving and it cuts the weekly total hours from the current 82 hours to 70.
The rule will take effect July 1, 2013, FMCSA said, giving trucking companies and their customers time to incorporate the changes in their work rules.
The American Trucking Associations has already signaled it would challenge a tougher HOS rule in court, saying statistics show highway safety has improved and trucking accidents involving fatigue have declined since the current regulation was implemented last decade.

“ When I’m away from home, this is my home. Does somebody come in your front door and decide, ‘I want to plug into your computer and see where you’ve been today’?
“Canada is that way, Boston is that way, California is that way, Florida is that way,” Button jokes. "I can figure out how to get there. I don’t need a little box on the dash, telling me, ‘Turn left, turn right.’ "
But if a new rule proposed by the Department of Transportation goes through, Button will be required to have a high-tech little box on his dashboard — one that’s hooked up to his engine — to automatically record how many hours he drives.
“I can’t think of anything good that would come from this. If I could, I would tell you honestly, and I can’t,” says Button. He cares a lot about safety but thinks the proposed new rule would be a mistake.

I’m not sure the loss of freedom is the goal, but the law of unintended consequences comes into play.
Carter passed the “gas guzzler tax” to save the environment. The result? Large (gas guzzler tax exempt) SUVs that get even less mpg than the family sedans and muscle cars the tax made nearly obsolete.
The same goes with the proposed “cap and trade” tax proposals. What kind of impact does that have on a family struggling to pay their energy bills, now? I guess we could tax at a higher rate to provide more government support for those families…
and the cycle continues.

No, these family-crushing consequences are very much desired by the likes of Obama, Pelosi and Reid. They are all international leftists, and I think we muddle reality by not accepting the cold fact that they INTEND to destroy us.

It is heartwarming to know that as families are split asunder, political opposition is beaten and harassed, and as we sink into deeper and deeper into perpetual decline and ultimate depression, there are those who are able to laugh about it all.

Of course, it was a rhetorical question, but at what point does the (inherited) “worst economy since the Great Depression” become the President’s economy?
Should these new Obama policies (regulations, new -]taxes/-] fees and taxes, etc) have the affect many predict they will, who will the President and his supporters blame?

I take it they have an abundance of business powered by faerie dust and children’s laughter in the UK?
I’m not sure how a middle class coal miner in southern Illinois is “detracting” from society.

1)That is absolute nonsense. what are they taking away - the individual’s freedom to be injured at work?
2)Global warming has not been proved a hoax, you, alas are one of many uninformed, who just believe what they WANT to believe.
