I’ve never been a fan of affirmative action.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Any minority with their head on straight would figure out the ‘affirmative action’ actually means “We (the elite) think you are dumber than a brick but we want your vote so we can continue our plans for building slave quarters (aka “Smart Growth”) for you.”
They even come right out and say it!

Green Practices/Sustainability:Land Planing Page
Apartments are the core of any sustainability strategy. They are more resource- and energy-efficient than other types of residential development because their concentrated infrastructure conserves materials and community services. As part of an infill or mixed-use development, apartments create communities where people live, work, and play with less dependence on cars. This reduces the consumption of fossil fuels and their carbon emissions.
Through the NMHC Sustainability Committee, the Council is advancing industry best practices; working with lawmakers to adopt voluntary and incentive-based energy policy; and developing and promoting standards to help firms market their sustainability quotient.
This online resource is designed to help apartment developers and managers build and operate more sustainable properties and to help policymakers craft effective energy efficiency goals.

And Bloomberg is putting it into effect in New York. He really must have LOVED Sandy since it means they can insist on Smart Growth housing as replacement.

And so is California:

L.A. County’s Private Property War
….On Oct. 17, 2007, Marcelle opened the door to a loud knock. Her heart jumped when she found a man backed by two armed county agents in bulletproof vests…..
The men demanded her driver’s license, telling her, “This building is not permitted — everything must go.” Normally sassy, Marcelle handed over her ID — even her green card, just in case. Stepping out, she realized that her 1,000-square-foot cabin was surrounded by men with drawn guns. “You have no right to be here,” one informed her. Baffled and shaking with fear, she called her daughter — please come right away.
As her ordeal wore on, she heard one agent, looking inside their comfortable cabin, say to another: “This one’s a real shame — this is a real nice one.”
A “shame” because the authorities eventually would enact some of the most powerful rules imaginable against rural residents: the order to bring the home up to current codes or dismantle the 26-year-old cabin, leaving only bare ground…..

So what does the California bureaucrats want?
California has declared war on the most popular housing choice, the single family, detached home—all in the name of saving the planet.

California Declares War on Suburbia: Planners want to herd millions into densely packed urban corridors
Metropolitan area governments are adopting plans that would require most new housing to be built at 20 or more to the acre, which is at least five times the traditional quarter acre per house. State and regional planners also seek to radically restructure urban areas, forcing much of the new hyperdensity development into narrowly confined corridors….
In San Francisco and San Jose, for example, the Association of Bay Area Governments has proposed that only 3% of new housing built by 2035 would be allowed on or beyond the “urban fringe”—where current housing ends and the countryside begins. Over two-thirds of the housing for the projected two million new residents in these metro areas would be multifamily—that is, apartments and condo complexes—and concentrated along major thoroughfares such as Telegraph Avenue in the East Bay and El Camino Real on the Peninsula.
For its part, the Southern California Association of Governments wants to require more than one-half of the new housing in Los Angeles County and five other Southern California counties to be concentrated in dense, so-called transit villages, with much of it at an even higher 30 or more units per acre….

The attack on our freedom is multiple and “saving the planet” is the excuse.
1. Land-use regulations aka zoning.
This is a pre-packed deal from ICLEI. “Smart Growth” even put out A Citizen’s Guide to LEED for Neighborhood Development: How to Tell if Development is Smart and Green I found it at this planing board site: http://www.co.berks.pa.us/planning (Note: Smart Growth Alliance banner) Someone commented Berk county within city limits, now requires you reapply for the zoning of your property after you buy it. Massachusetts did the same thing with septic tanks in 1994 when I got out of that state. The new code was no ground water within 10 feet down from the bottom of tank IF you want to sell. (Most ground water is within ~2 to 4 ft in the spring on the east coast) Once the testing is done and found not to meet ‘Standard’ the house is CONDEMNED and the owner can not only NOT sell the property but can no longer even live in the house. We picked a major drought to have our system tested plus a bit of dancing and got it ‘Passed’ This is a really good way for the government/banks to pickup property as the owners end up abandoning it.
2. The second attack is jacking energy costs so high no one can afford to live in anything but the 14ft X 14 ft Slaves Quarters being designed just for us.
New ACCCE Analysis Shows EPA Rules to Shut Down 30 Coal Units in Ohio: More than 200 units in 25 states scheduled to be shut down
This old, mostly coal powered energy was $16 permegawatt
The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was $136 per megawatt…. For the northern Ohio… the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt…. …. These are the actual prices that electric distributors have agreed to pay for new capacity.
So your normal Electric bill was $160/month, depending on how much of your energy was from a coal plant that is being shutdown your can be looking at an electric bill up to $1360/month at the same time that jobs are hard to come by and the actual wages in the USA are declining.
3. The third attack is brainwashing. I have actually met a professor (CAGW activist) who has no problems with the fact that his daughter will have a lifestyle of poverty and he said she has no problems with that. (The daughter then start talking to me about how she wants to buy a horse when she grows up and was bragging on Dad’s brand new SUV…)
Robin has this subject well covered at Invisible Serfs Collar: “a group which desires to be strong has no use for the man who claims to think for himself.”

I now have changed my mind from believing Obama and his cohorts are out to destroy the economy and capitalism. They may have started out with that in mind but found it couldn’t be done so easily. They discovered it was easier to simply steal the money and so made the change to plunder the U S Treasury and the taxpayers for all they can get while they are still in power. Reviving the climate change drama, especially when adding the “for our children” mantra, is just the current addition of how do we steal even more money from the unsuspecting masses. The Mafia would be proud.

Next week Obama will bypass Congress and using “Executive Privilege” will make energy more costly for all Americans, because it’s somehow good for the children. Then he and a huge entourage will fly back to Africa to promote cheap affordable energy for Africa, because it’s good for the children.

The Presidents timing is interesting. According to polls the public is losing trust in him personally and his vision of government. If (and it is not certain) energy becomes an issue in the 2014 mid-terms it should be a winner for the smaller government side. How hard can it be to show voters that the people and institutions they had to bail out so recently are waiting for another windfall. Populism cuts both ways.

Nah, I tried to watch it. Can’t do it. That guy’s smug, arrogant voice makes me want to punch someone or something. He can’t even read his lines well, stumbling over the big words he doesn’t understand, like “the” and “for”.
If only the world was the fantasy land of unicorns and pixie dust that democrats seem to live in… ah, wouldn’t that be grand? We’d all have eternal high paying union jobs, with 51 weeks per year paid vacation, sleek efficient electric cars powered by wind and solar, no more endangered species because they’d all be protected and happy and healthy, no pollution of any sort, including independent thought or the tangy smell of firearms at the shooting range.
Ah yes (cue the Smurfs theme song quietly in the background), nobody would ever say a bad word about another race (wouldn’t that be grand? Us whites wouldn’t have our noses rubbed into the decisions made hundreds of years ago by our ancestors who were fleeing their equivalent of, well, democrats), immigrant doctors who are just being introduced to the very concept of antibiotics would be welcomed with open arms at all of the free hospitals where they would save lives and cure all diseases with a wave of a magic, environmentally sustainable medical technology.
There would never be floods, fires, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, nor’easters, famine, dictators, terrorists, christians, or any other undesirables, and the world would be decorated with the fresh, friendly, welcoming hands of married gay men. Abortions would be free and easy, and even 12 year old girls would never, EVER have to inform their parents.
Doesn’t that make you feel great about a democrat future? Nobody would ever be unhappy, for any reason, and we’d all have cake, and ice cream, and kool-aid, and smoke all the dope we wanted, with special places just for the crack addicts and heroin addicts where they could be happy and get their drugs and needles for free while being fed and clothed.
Yes, I too long for this wonderful future, where the only bad guys in movies and television would be guys like “Archie Bunker”, you know, republicans (people would actively booooo them when they came on screen), and the only ones who would actually have to do manual labor would be those loser right winger nutjobs in the flyover states. In fact, until they recanted their right-wingerness, they’d be chained up like the convicts they should be while the real people, the intelligent people, the educated people, the beautiful people would be free to live their productive and self-esteem inducing lives, completely free of the negativity that republicans bring wherever they go. Oh, and all bullying in schools would end, too.
If you too want to see this grand vision of the future come to pass, just look for the “D” when you vote. Remember, “D” means “DELIGHTFUL”!
(sorry, every time I am forced to hear Zero’s voice, my mind drifts to another place out of self-preservation)

Where’s the “dislike” button?

It’s not the megalomaniac that put’s itself into power (a snake slithers by nature), it is they that obfuscate, provide blind support, and make excuses-for-all-abuses for them that provide the levers of power that enable them to destroy; [snip a bit over the top -mod]

John, Google GE Tanzania pipeline.

But with the economy still in the tank and energy prices and business regulations preventing any kind of surge, the voting masses are primed and groomed for being bought. And with nothing more than trinkets mind you (aka free phones). The problem we face isn’t us voting him out, its convincing the masses that voted last time that free phones won’t result in being able to afford a decent living. Worse yet, some are willing to stay in poverty with their free phone instead of working a hard scrabble life without any phone at all to get somewhere.

No, affirmative action is for African Americans while Obama is certainly from Hawaii. [Nice one, Mike!]

I know, we could go back to the late 17 and early 1800s and use the ultimate biofuel. Plant forests for wood? No. Buffaloes for buffalo methane? No. Dung fires?
C’mon, I’m talking about a super biofuel. We could use … ready … Whale Oil! We could hunt Sperm Whales! We could look for the mythical Moby Dick. (For those unfamiliar with this history get your minds out of the gutter.)
When we find old Moby we could breed him with maybe – I don’t know – a … nuclear submarine. (After all, in Obama’s world of peace and tranquility we won’t need ’em for anything else.) We could create an ocean full of Moby Dicks, boring though that may be. Then we could use all those unemployed recent college graduates to act as hardy sailors and harvest all that whale oil.
There, climate change problem solved. But maybe the best way to solve the mythical climate change problem is to have Eric Holder investigate it. It’ll just simply disappear.
Then we could get on with real problems like; Fast & Furious; multi trillion dollar deficits; IRS targeting of political groups; EPA harassment, abuse of political enemies, and use of fictitious e-mails; the reasons behind the massive ammunition purchases; chronic 7-8% unemployment, 5 years of anemic economic growth; the massive jump in disability and food stamp applications; NSA spying; hacking of reporters’ computers; more leak prosecutions than all previous presidents combined; and, of course, Benghazi.
Oh, did I forget massive voter fraud in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Ohio?
