Obama Occupies the Rhineland

Texas fight with EPA grows with power-plant rule Having prevailed in the Obama-Mexico-Filthy Killer v. USA  ordeal,  Texas Governor Rick Perry's next challenge is dealing with the EPA in proper fashion. In our name.

“   Texas Governor Rick Perry and two top state regulators on Thursday blasted the U.S. environmental agency for including Texas in a rule to slash sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants, warning that the last-minute action could threaten the state's electric supply. ” The inherent danger of regulatory agencies is they are subject to manipulation by ideology.   The EPA was fathered by Richard Nixon, but the mother was an ecofreak bitch.  It is then particularly vulnerable to  the arbitrary creation and application of  "rules." “ Texas was not included in the EPA's draft rule related to sulfur dioxide cuts because EPA modeling had shown little downwind impact from Texas power plants on other states. On Thursday, however, the EPA said Texas would be required to meet lower SO2 limits to avoid allowing the state to increase emissions. Obama vowed  to shut down the coal industry, so there you have it.  In doing so he satisfies the democrat's eco-freak constituency while allowing himself to seize control of America's economy, and thus our freedom, by fiat.  This then is Obama's attempt to occupy the Rhineland; and this is  Rick Perry's chance to play Neville Chamberlain, and do it the right way.
