America-Hating Obama Unveils Sick Plan That Will End July 4th As We Know It

http://conservativetribune.com/obama-will-end-july-4th/

President Barack Hussein Obama and his pals at the Environmental Protection Agency want to impose new ozone rules so low that they would effectively end July Fourth as we know it.

The proposal would lower the ozone standard from 75 parts per billion to 65 parts per billion, which would be a level just “barely above the naturally occurring level of ozone in the atmosphere.”

If passed, the proposal would basically make it a federal violation for nearby families to grill outdoors at the same time or for cities to launch festive fireworks. This means local legislators would need to enact municipal grilling bans and cancel traditional fireworks shows.

Many regions across the country have yet to catch up to the EPA’s most recent ruling seven years ago. These regions are still violating existing regulations, and the proposal would do nothing more than increase the fines and penalties that they must pay.

The tragic irony was that our air was already the cleanest it’s been in 30 years and “air quality in the U.S. continues to improve annually.” Furthermore, ozone levels were slated to drop another 36 percent by 2025.

President Obama and his environmental goons should therefore just back away from the table and stop their meddling. Alas, he thinks he knows best, and guess who will wind up suffering because of his arrogance: the American people.

In fact, according to the National Association of Manufacturers, the proposal would wind up costing us $140 billion annually. It would also “stall construction projects and prevent job-creating manufacturing facilities from being built in hundreds of cities across the United States.” (H/T The Daily Caller)

By now, you would think that the president would have figured out that his policies and proposals only make things worse. Apparently, he’s a slow learner.

The proposed new Ozone regulations were put forth last December. Here they are if you want to review them: https://www.federalregister.gov/article ... -for-ozone

As usual the 'panic-inducing freedom-losing' article cut-and-pasted doesn't have any real facts to support its allegations. The EPA rules are aimed at power plant emissions and auto emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) that create ozone in their reactions to become stable molecules.

I prefer Foghorn Leghorn cartoons myself. Rock and Bullwinkle is fine too.

Do you really think folks don't know they're all scum?

Although, people are not so very sharp these days.
