Chandler in the Dock

Crunch time is here for Kentucky’s Sixth-District congressman, Ben Chandler. Already on the record as having voted on an energy bill nobody, including himself, had read, when, indeed, on the night before the vote, 300 pages nobody had read were added to the bill nobody had read, he’s now supporting a so-called health-care bill nobody has read that is actually a health-wreck curse on a nation already in the throes of economic agony.

The tragedy about the energy vote is that Chandler is so ignorant of the facts concerning climate-change that he brings disgrace to the office. No congressman should be that dumb, especially one representing the sensible people of the Sixth District. It is now abundantly clear that CO2, besides not making the earth warmer, is actually a necessary substance to sustaining life. He’s swallowed the KOOL-AID of the United Nations IPCC that people – especially people in the United States – are killing the Earth.

The United Nations is the place where the United States is hated with a purple passion, and the representatives from everything from a substantial nation like France to nations jerked around by a multitude of tinhorn dictators like Venezuelan monster Hugo Chavez vent their spleen upon Uncle Sam with regularity. The IPCC doomsday report is a crock and every credible weather scientist knows it, and a number have spoken out in this country and in other parts of the world.

Chandler, apparently oblivious to this or simply unaware of it, has voted for this country to tax its people to death (carbon/caps legislation) while the worst polluters in the world – India and China – do absolutely nothing and are not required by even the Kyoto Treaty they support to lift a finger toward cutting down so-called greenhouse-gas emissions. They just lick their chops and wait to gobble up more U.S. industry as U.S. companies go bankrupt, operating with one hand tied behind their backs with this legislation, which, thankfully, the Senate will probably shoot down.

Now, Chandler, by his own admission, has STRUGGLED with his support of a health bill that changes every day, meaning that he never knows what’s in it. Even fellow democrats, until now completely cowed by the Obama/Pelosi Mafioso, are beginning to understand that these two people and their minions intend to completely wreck a health-care system in which 87% of the people have health insurance and the medical system itself is far and away the best in the world.

There’s no excuse for this blind following of people who, if they aren’t just simply as dumb as gourds, are consciously intent on bringing this country down to a level of socialism that will be the worst in the world. The president, who admitted in his news conference of the 22nd that he didn’t know all the details, said he meant for the Congress to put his plan in place, though he doesn’t have a plan…just an idea. Imagine…a committee of 535 putting a non-plan in place.

This is Bill/Hillary of 1993 all over again…a bureaucracy guaranteed to make slaves of the people by controlling their very health, with some sort of czar – or is it “commissioner” now – to make decisions about who lives and who dies or whether or not they have substantial quality of life.

Chandler, apparently hopelessly uneducated about the consequences of this plan even though all he has to do is look over the Canadian border to see them, is on board, having survived his STRUGGLE. What he needs to do is to take two aspirin, get a good night’s sleep, and start using his brain instead of playing politics. He may be taking his seat for granted – and why not in this democrat district – but he may regret not taking the high road, come next year.

And so it goes.
