Chalk one up for keeping a promise

Obama’s promise to bankrupt coal industry to cost 1,000 jobs in upper Midwest

During the campaign, Barack Obama promised to bankrupt any new coal-burning plants in the US through his global-warming policies. Congress has followed suit with a cap-and-trade bill that Harry Reid keeps promising to revive. One firm in Wisconsin shows exactly what happens when politicians intervene to attempt to conduct social engineering in the energy sector. Bucyrus just lost a $600 million project for a new coal-burning electricity plant in India, thanks to a decision by the Congressionally-funded US Export-Import Bank to deny the Wisconsin firm credit, based in part on Barack Obama’s policies:

Up to 1,000 jobs at Bucyrus International Inc. and its suppliers could be in jeopardy as the result of a decision by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, funded by Congress, to deny several hundred million dollars in loan guarantees to a coal-fired power plant and mine in India.

About 300 of those jobs are at the Bucyrus plant in South Milwaukee, where the company has 1,410 employees and its headquarters. The remaining jobs are spread across 13 states, including Illinois, Minnesota and Indiana.

On Thursday, the Export-Import Bank denied financing for Reliance Power Ltd., an Indian power plant company, effectively wiping out about $600 million in coal mining equipment sales for Bucyrus, chief executive Tim Sullivan said.

Its real easy to keep a promise when you have laid all the ground work to undermine something like this industry. I myself plan to give it a break and let the process take its coarse between the end of August till the elections in November with my anti socialist posting. If I had a BBS I would close off topic for the last quarter to be equal for both positions, but I feel others run sites like this better than I ever could and have enjoyed participating.

Obama is a loose cannon. He must be removed from office.
His is unfit to live in this country.

He has done more harm than Osama ever dreamed of.

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

She also wrote aout......
An inventor named John Galt inventing a "free energy" machine, a motor that runs on ambient static electricity and the Earth's own inertia and puts out enough electricity in a fairly small unit to power almost anything, including vehicles

Another example of why she is not worth the fuss.

Where were all the high falutin' Ayn Rand quotes when GW and Cheney were spending?

The line you quoted is from a fictional novel.

I assume it originated from the same mind that wrote about harnising STATIC ELECTRICITY to cruise the highways. Talk about impractical greenies hugging trees! Damn, a shaggy rug and the right pair of shoes could makes us ALL supet duper inventers.

A good thing Rand was not doing FDRs job after the great depression

Seriously it appears this Ayn Rand stuff surfaces against the dems only.

First of all - Cheney had zero control over spending.
Second - GW didn't spend nearly as much in 8 years as this Bozo has in 17+ months.
Third - Why does it always ,with you, revert back to GW ?

Simply, because almost all of PA OT reverts back to bashing Obama.

In 1999, The Virtue of Selfishness was chosen as the #1 best nonfiction book since 1900.

[hcap]

Are you sure Rand won in 1999 and not really 1900?

Btw who did the choosing?
"The Ayn Rand Institute of the Non Altuistic and Self Engaged Egoists"

Yeah, but at least we "bashers" are living and relating to the here and now. You, on the other hand, are stuck on stupid and the past -- which is semi-understandable since neither the present or the future with your messiah aren't looking very peachy creamy. :rolleyes:

I can't believe it! According to 'cap, there's no such animal as a communist -- most especially here on American soil. This gotta be a hoax... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

P.S. 'cap, I beg you: Please tell me this story isn't true. Just when I nearly started believing you... Do you have any idea how depressing this is for me? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Every one spies on everyone. All the time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Pollard

Jonathan Jay Pollard (born August 7, 1954 in Galveston, Texas) is a former civilian intelligence analyst who was convicted of spying for Israel. He received a life sentence in 1987.

Israel granted Pollard citizenship in 1995, while publicly denying that he was an Israeli spy until 1998.[1] Israeli activist groups, as well as high-profile Israeli politicians, have lobbied for his release.[2] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced particularly strong support for Pollard, visiting the convicted spy in prison in 2002.[3][4]

Since you gentlemen are fond of Ayn Rand, don't you think that Israel spying on us is justified based on the The Virtue of Selfishness? BMac you did not mention WHO picked it as the #1 best nonfiction book since 1900.
Sounds self aggrandized as most of her stuff. And as most of the righties stuff here
