Some More Leftist Authoritarianism
Written by Sam on January 30th, 2008Remember in the past year how egomaniac Michael Bloomberg who in his anti gun crusade got into trouble for sending his spies down into Virginia and South Carolina to see how easy it was to buy a gun in our states? Well the authoritarian fringe of the extreme left strikes again:
CHARLESTON — Attorneys general from eight states have signed a letter asking South Carolina environmental officials to deny a permit to build a coal-fired power plant.
The group says the plant, proposed by Santee Cooper, would release millions of tons of carbon dioxide in the air, hindering efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.
The state-owned electric utility wants to build two 600-megawatt generators along the Little Pee Dee River near Johnsonville.
The letter sent to DHEC was signed by attorneys general from California, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.
I can’t think of a time where an Attorney General or any other public official of any “red” state has sent off a letter to another state expressing concern over how they run their piece of land, yet the extreme left seems to have no problem telling everyone else what to do.
I hope we build this coal plant. In fact, I hope we build ten of them and then when we’re finished we build a great big fan and point it straight to New England so we can blow all of our smoke straight up the behinds of those granola munching Kum Ba Ya hippies in the People’s Republic of Vermont and the rest of their northeastern elitist brethren.
Your maple syrup sucks and so does Tom Brady!

You just know that if South Carolina tried to build a clean nuclear power plant, the same people would file the same lawsuit seeking to shut that down too. And God forbid we drill for oil in that desolate wasteland called ANWR.
Then they’ll keep blaming Bush and Halliburton for sky-rocketing gas prices…

And their friend McCain would likely help them out with a friend of the court brief….(had to get a dig in on McCain)

Roger, keeping the guns out of hands of criminals has nothing to do with keeping the guns out of the hands of regular citizens.

and to Roger: God forbid we respect the constitution.

You’re right that this is a property rights issue — You don’t have the right to pollute my air or water without some kind of compensation.
What if your neighbor dumped nuclear waste in his yard that leaked into your water pipes? What would you tell him? “It’s your yard”

The likelihood of my neighbor having nuclear waste is what exactly?

It’s a metaphor! You don’t have an absolute right to engage in activity that causes problems for other people just because the activity occurs on your property.

Leave Tom Brady the hell out of this.

Maple syrup is very nummy.
I’ll write a letter to my AG (since I live in NY) telling him to put up or shut up (in other words, get to work!) and stop clowning around with global warming nonsense and stuff that has nothing to do with New York State.

Prediction: Tom Brady will have 100% passing in the Super Bowl.
Give this to New England….they have some pretty good sports teams.
