Pelosi: Every Part Of Our Lives Must Be “Subjected To An Inventory” To Fight Global Warming

I keep saying it over and over again. The proponents of big government love global warming hysteria because it gives the justification to regulate every single aspect of our lives. Pelosi says as much while visiting China:

In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.
“We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”

And who do you think is going to be doing the inventory? Obviously this whole “freedom” thing isn’t working out, since we’re driving hummers and running the air conditioning with the doors open and what not, so I guess some bureaucrat is going to have to inventory our lives for us. The federal government is already regulating everything from what cars we can drive to what light bulbs we use, so why not more?
Given that, this statement in the article was rather ironic:

Pelosi’s trip has been notable for skirting human rights and the fierce public criticisms she has frequently leveled at the authoritarian government.

I don’t think Nancy Pelosi has any room to lecture about “authoritarian government.”

    More straw man bullshit equivalences. Pelosi revels in her power as Speaker of the House, and is in the power position to force us to “contribute” to her “green energy” schemes through the House’s power to pass bloated spending bills.

    So, you’re wrong with all your examples, because those people you cherry-picked aren’t in the position of power over us like Pelosi is.
    Sorry you don’t know that.

    As Rush said today, “You first, Madam Speaker!”

    Yeah when NOBAMA stops poluting the sky with Airforce 1 and Nancy Pelosi stop flying Military jets all over the place and when the elites stop living hin these huge houses that have a carbon footprint the size of a small town then I will cut back my small carbon foot print. Until then they can bite me.

    Actual Story: A Chinese student asks Nancy Pelosi how to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions. Pelosi responds that it’s important for parents to educate their children on global issues and encourage them to make decisions that are environmentally-friendly. Everyone applauds to this standard answer to a standard question.

    Rob responds to this news story item by ignoring the entire article, taking one quote out of conext, and declaring this to be the rise of Socialism.

    In other words, business as usual at Say Anything!!!

    The point is Todd, what the hell is Pelosi doing during a recession talking about cutting carbon emmisions in our own country while wasting tons of carbon flying to China in her private jet? What a sucker you lib dems are! The chinese are laughing at us since they have no intention of cutting emissions because they know all of our manufacturing in the U.S. will be dead when the mentally challenged congress passes cap and trade. Anyone that works for a manufacturer will be out of a job and expect your heating/cooling costs to triple if not more.

    Maybe Nancy Pants can give up flying a 757 across the country all the time.

    If she does that I’ll give up my 757 as well.

  • thetodd

    Sorry you don’t know that.

    I did not know that public officials were prevented from stating any opinions related to any aspect of public life.

    Actually, it’s the continuing fascism of the left. She has no business telling us how to think and how to live.

    Ok. So when Ted Nugent tells us we should buy more guns, he’s being a fascist.

    When Sean Hannity tells us to vote Republican, he’s being a fascist.

    When Nancy Pelosi tells us to reduce our carbon footprint, she’s being a fascist.

    When Pat Robertson tells us to go to church on Sunday, he’s being a fascist.

    When Miss California tells us to oppose gay marriage, she’s being a fascist.

    When the Pope tells us not to buy our kids Harry Potter books, he’s being a fascist.

    ***********************************************

    It’d be utterly fantastic if you could tell me which of those are examples of “fascism” at work.

    A while back, a great leader also had the same sorts of sense of the civic responsibility of citizens. He stated that a nation is only as strong as its people, who need to do their part to contribute. He also setup some basic rules for civic responsibility that sound like a great idea:

    Every citizen should respect other people.
    Every citizen should think for themselves.
    Every citizen should obey the law.

    And under the pretense of good government, by the people and for the people, he gained a great deal of power in his nation by using the pride of his citizens to get everybody to do their best for their country.

    I’m not going to say that Nancy Pelosi is comparable to Hitler, or even that she has some sort of Communist or Socialist agenda that she’s using to slowly marginalize US citizens into robots that will be forced to be healthy, ‘green’ and pay 50% of their income as taxes/fees/fines/licenses/permits. I’ve listened to Nancy speak, and frankly I don’t think she’s intelligent enough to know what she’s actually doing, or what she really means by even her own statements, contrary to Hitler.

    As an example, Hitler banned public smoking as it damaged the lungs citizens, which would reduce their ability to contribute to the country. That almost sounds familiar, albeit under a different auspice. Is it bad for the country if the inventory of a citizen shows they smoke, eat too much, use too much energy or don’t recycle? Is this what Nancy means?

    I guess that depends what kind of country you live in, Nazi Germany, modern China or future America.

    Sorry you don’t know that.

    The difference between your example people is that Pat or Miss California have no legal control over our lives. The speaker of the house can pass more laws requiring or making a law forcing behavior at the point of a gun.

    She needs to stop the foolish talk. There is no “global warming” and certainly no significant product of human activity.

    I am going to say that I agree with Robert108.

    Again:

    “It’s good to recycle.” = “The government will force you to recyle.”

    Do you guys have any intellectual honesty?

    When these people get elected and try to pass laws forcing the people of the US to do these things, you’ll have a point.

    Nobody`s proven that i have to reduce my f–king carbon footprint, anyway.

    Worse.

    Pelosi can afford (well, her husband Paul could) a private jet. Instead she uses an Air Force VIP Transport as her personal jet. She’s doing this on OUR dime.

  • Pilgrim

    This is a display of the sheer arrogance of royalty.

    Madame Speaker, for all intents and purposes, considers herself to be just that. Don’t think so? Check out ther answers concerning her accusations that the CIA lied.

    I won’t answer that again, peasant. The nerve.

    Paint it any pretty color you want, a wart hog is still a wart hog, and a slimy politician, regardless of media camoflage, is still a slimy politician.

    Let’s see an inventory of the Pelosi family assets.

  • 2Hotel9

    As soon as all politicians and environazis are “subjected to an inventory” and forced to live without electricity, petroleum, foods grown out of season, and medical technology they can inventory me. Till then they can fuck off.

  • bill-tb

    Just think what the world would look like if every member of Congress was forced to drive or ride only in those CAFE mandated suicide clown cars or bounced from Congress and then directly to jail. No limos for Congress. Good enough for me, then surely good enough for thee.

    And then we can make sure that no Congress person has more than their ration of the TAX and RATION scam. No extra houses to heat and cool, no pools, no yahcts, no nothing.

    Equal misery for all, including the politburo.

    Pelosi fly’s around on a private jet. She is as big a charlatan as Gore.

    asking and telling …….. the left wants to tell. the conservatives (not republicans) wants to ask.

    SIDENOTE; how much green house gas is created with botox and plastic surgery?

    Whistler:

    If she does that I’ll give up my 757 as well.

    You have a 757? Damn.

    I guess I’ll just have to get over my class envy and stop flying about in my peasley little 747.

    So much for keeping up with the Jones. Or the Whistlers. But….I’ll make that sacrifice.
