Hooligan Mob to Target Coal Plant
Totalitarian regimes often require ostensibly independent action. An example would be the maniacal students who went wild during China's Cultural Revolution, inflicting violence on those deemed insufficiently fanatical in their devotion to communism. Similar tactics will be required to push through the global warming agenda, which will entail radically restricting our liberty and lowering our standard of living in the name of a "crisis" that does not exist.
Environmentalist demagogue Al Gore has been trying to egg on the sort of moonbat hooligans who riot at WTO conferences to attack power plants that use one of our most precious yet abundant resources, coal. His rallying cry has been heeded. Capitol Climate Action, planned for March 2, will protest the existence of a coal plant in DC. Participants are encouraged to impersonate normal Americans by wearing their "Sunday best" — meaning they will make every effort to find matching shoes.
Leftists target coal not because it oppresses the polar bears, but because it produces 56% of our electricity. The only viable alternatives are oil — which we must import mostly from hostile regimes because Democrats severely restrict drilling in our own country — and nuclear — which liberals also resist tooth and nail.
Not even Al Gore thinks windmills and pixie dust can meet our energy needs. The idea is to cripple the economy and make us helpless, the better to soften us up for socialism.
Here's global warming profiteer James Hansen — a known fraud who nonetheless holds a top position in the federal bureaucracy — encouraging punks to use strong-arm tactics to advance the government's goal of banning coal:
The protest will be pure theater; these totalitarians are not protesting against the government, but on its behalf against what remains of our freedom. If you doubt Chairman Zero is on the same page, here he is promising to exploit the global warming farce to bankrupt coal plants:
Before long you'll flip the switch and the lights won't come on. You'll know whom to thank.

Heres an idea. This Christmas, send President Hussein a lump of coal for Christmas. Seriously, it would be pretty funny. I remember that TV show Jericho where fans sent tons of peanuts to the CBS network. The peanuts went to the poor and some to the troops. He could donate the coal to the poor.

A further aspect of this: America isn't just sitting here in geo-political vacuum. If we get beggared there are other countries that would "move in." And I don't mean migration from the south.
There's been talk that we need to "stop global warming" as a part of national defense. The things that are proposed be done to solve this so-called problem would beggar us and leave us open to terrible national defense problems.

Anyone who thinks the anti-coal movement isn't a communist offshoot is welcome to provide an answer the question of why China is exempt from Kyoto.

Can someone tell these idiots that they need to protest the federal government, not the plant? The coal plant in question is very dirty and inefficient. Residents of Alexandria have been trying to get rid of it for years. The company who runs it (Mirant?) would like nothing better than to shut it down. But, because it is IN DC, not outside the beltway, it provides a margin of safety against losing power due to possible terrorist attacks on the high transmission lines that run into DC. The Feds have actually gone to court to force that plant to keep operating. It will be interesting to see if the new administration decides to continue the old policy, or let the plant shut down.

They make a point of saying they're nonviolent, but I've noticed a lot of the liberal extremist groups tend to vary a great deal on how they define "Nonviolence."
Take, for instance, Recreate68. That group also claimed nonviolence, but they had some pretty skewed definitions of what constitutes violence on behalf of their members. For example, their website offered the following exceptions I noticed:
1. According to a pamphlet on their site, they feel that vandalism and destruction of property are a-ok and don't count as violence.
2. They claimed to endorse "Self- defense" violence done by activists to protect themselves from supposed "Police brutality," yet they were EXTREMELY hazy on what police actions would constitute "Brutality" that the activists could be allowed to react violently against.
Hopefully, the cops will be able to do as good a job keeping these coal plant protestors in line as the Denver police did keeping Recreate 68 in line during the DNC.

Like "spontanous" shows of affection/loyalty to the leader.

Right ADAM. Remember, moonbats: "you loot, we shoot".

First of all, you are only addressing the protest of the plant, not all of the other action taken by these activists. You should all know that the protest was following one of the longest lobby days in history. Meetings were set up and carried out with EVERY single congressman and senator discussing the issue and sensible solutions. Thousands of people took part in these meetings. Not a single one of these activists wants anything to do with changing the government in our country, only the energy on which it runs. Global Climate Change is scientifically proven. Anyone who says otherwise has either not taken the time to look at the facts and making the choice to remain ignorant, or knows the effects and has made the choice of financial gain over the future of the human race. Coal may be abundant, but let’s think about the abundance of the sun and the wind for a second. As for the economy, a recent study at UMASS concluded that for every million dollars invested in coal energy, 5 jobs are created. For every million dollars invested in clean energy, 17 jobs are created. As for national security, cutting our serious dependence on other countries for fuel will only make us stronger, and keep money circulating in our country instead of the billions of dollars going to other countries and their security. In December of this year, the UN will be meeting to agree on a Global Climate Policy. For those of you still unconvinced, when is the last time you heard of Nobel Prizes given out and UN meetings being scheduled in regards to a hoax? Never. The protest at the coal plant involved no vandalism or violence at all, and not a single arrest was made out of the hundreds that attended. Everyone is entitled to their opinion as they say, and this is a very serious issue on moral, economical, and global levels. Change will not be easy, but it also will not be as painful as you all seem to think. Our current ways are what have brought our nation to where it is today... enough said.
