Energy Independence is Bad
« on: June 14, 2015, 09:48:49 AM »
This is too rich.  Being energy independent is great unless it deprives some governmental unit of revenue.

A Huntsville, Alabama couple is being told they cannot live off-the-grid. The couple, who live in a self-sustaining home powered by solar panels, does not use any city utilities. But Huntsville officials claim that this isn’t allowed.

The government that governs best governs the least.

That's where we started.

Now we have the complete opposite.

People should be storming the offices of these out of control politicians and bureaucrats and end their reign of terror once and for all.

Well, that's what the Founders would do.

Founding character coming up just a wee bit short now days...

Like that will ever come to fruition. These assholes refuse to even fend off the race baiters.
