Obama Will Use Nixon-Era Law to Fight Climate Change

Obama Will Use Nixon-Era Law to Fight Climate Change

-use-nixon-era-law-to-fight-climate-change.html


excerpt:
In taking the step, Obama would be fulfilling a vow to act alone in the face of a Republican-run House of Representatives unwilling to pass measures limiting greenhouse gases. He’d expand the scope of a Nixon-era law that was first intended to force agencies to assess the effect of projects on air, water and soil pollution.

excerpt:
While the Obama administration’s guidance could be easily rescinded by the next administration, the court rulings that stem from these cases will live on as precedents, Mannina said.

Refiners said it could raise the price of a gallon by 6 to 8 cents, but clean-air groups said it would be more like 1 cent. The difference depends in part on details of the rule that have not been made public.

Speculation on Obama's birth certificate

I thought of this before and seen another commenter elsewhere think the same about Obama's birth certificate.

Possible reason he is keeping hands off on it is that there is no father listed on the birth certificate. You may find the last name listed as Dunham.

excerpt:
These letters reveal that is nothing more or less than an end run by the Obama administration around the sovereignty of Oklahoma (and presumably other states) and usurpation of power in defiance of the state constitution, the will of the people, and the laws passed by their elected representatives in the state legislature.

Well, obviously they don't know what an Uncle Tom is because they need to read Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” You’ll see that he was very, very subservient, kind of go along to get along type person. Obviously, that's not what I'm doing.

Three Types of Narcissism That Are Damaging Democracy

_________________________________

Three Types of Narcissism That Are Damaging Democracy
http://www.thenewiq.com/narcissism
excerpt:
The three primary forms that narcissists (self-centered, entitled and non-self-responsible individuals, as well as far too many special interest/lobbying groups) come in include:

    Learned Helplessness: Narcissists imprisoned in the belief that they are innocent victims of other people and of the 'system,' and that this entitles them to be taken care of or rescued, rather than having to become self-responsible and empowered. The two fools in the outstanding video you watched above are a powerful example of this form of narcissism.
    Greed: Narcissists imprisoned in boundless ends-justifies-the-means greed, in which they want what they want when they want it and in the quantity they want it, no matter how much this damages other people or society-at-large.
    Rightness Addiction: Narcissists who are so blinded by their own political, religious, philosophical, economic, or educational ideology, that they believe they are entitled to inflict their allegedly superior or “right” world view and beliefs on others.

Just What Is Greed, Really?

Just What Is Greed, Really?
http://www.thenewiq.com/greed-defined
excerpt:
1. Financial Greed (Obsession With Profit)

    Financial Greed takes two main forms:

    a) Profiteering: Getting people to use a product or service no matter how this damages them -- or, better yet, get them addicted to needing that product or service.

    b) Debtism: Counting on an uncertain future to pay for obsessive growth in the present.

    Financial Greed is driven by deep distortions about what creates fulfillment. Profiteering maintains that profitability justifies damaging people or the planet. Debtism places the responsibility on future generations to foot the bill for present excesses. Both are profoundly dysfunctional and unsustainable distortions of true capitalism.

    As I have written in previous posts, our massive distortions about what creates life fulfillment are what has made it possible for Debtism to poison our economic system by replacing healthy capitalism.
