Shooting a R.I.N.O.

I wrote Congresswoman Mary Whittaker Bono Baxley Mack a second time after she foolishly voted for HR2454: the "cap-and-tax" bill that will transform all our lives.

Congresswoman, that was the last straw.

You voted for the most massive tax-increase and wealth-transfer bill in earth's history -- and didn't even read it!

Shame on you!

Worst of all, the entire bill is based on bad science. Carbon dioxide emissions are not the cause of "global warming". Global warming is the cause of increased CO2 emissions (principally from the oceans, due to the decreasing solubility of gases in warmer waters). What was your grade in high school chemistry, Congresswoman?

THE SUN warms the earth (if you haven't noticed). CO2 is of utter insignificance. Water vapor -- another "greenhouse" gas -- is eight times more effective at trapping heat than CO2 -- and hundreds of times more prevalent in our atmosphere. Are you planning on banning water, as well? Or sunshine? How asinine.

You were foolish to go along with it.

I don't fault you for voting to raise taxes in the worse recession in my lifetime (although that was bad enough). I fault you for being a dumb leader who betrayed the Constitution in the name of "saving the planet" or some other such nonsense.

Where does the Constitution give Congress the right to regulate what "energy" I use? The People (by the Constitution) give the federal government ENUMERATED powers, not the reverse. And under no circumstances does the Constitution enumerate that the federal government shall have TOTAL power over the states or the people. The Commerce Clause was NOT intended for that purpose. Otherwise, why have a Constitution at all? Just say "The Federal Government has total power to do whatever the hell it pleases."

As I said, Congresswoman, you've made a political opponent of me. I must now do what I can to throw you out of office, not to save our planet, but to save our country. You're dangerous! You saddle us with onerous taxes and increase our burdens with greater regulations, all while limiting our freedoms to use our own resources as we see fit by foisting junk science and foolish energy schemes upon us.

You were one of eight Republicans to do so. That's eight Republicans too many.

You and the Governor talk like Republicans, but you lead like Democrats.

And that's our problem. Not global warming.

Good day.
