California representative, Henry Waxman, compared Republican legislators to terrorists, on Thursday.  Waxman is the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He’s also the co-author of the 2009 cap-and-trade climate change bill.
Waxman reportedly said that “they want to use legislation as a way to act like terrorists. They hold things as hostage,” He went on to exclaim: “We almost couldn’t fund the government because Republicans wanted to hold that idea hostage, we almost couldn’t pay our debts because the Republicans wanted to hold that legislation hostage to their extreme agenda, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they scuttled this conference by trying to hold us hostage.”
Waxman’s retort was in response to new legislation which was introduced by Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.) and seeks to “imposes narrow time constraints and creates automatic mandates that prevent an informed decision.â€Â  The legislation would make the final determination the responsiblity of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), instead of that of the State Department. In addition to that, the bill would allow FERC to issue a permit, while limiting its discretion to reject the Keystone project.
The House GOP leadership is considering attaching the bill to upcoming legislation which extends the payroll tax cut for the rest of the year.
Waxman opposes the Keystone pipeline proposal, despite  the tens of thousands of American jobs it would create and the fact that it would ease our dependence on oil from less than friendly nations. And, as Guy Benson, at Townhall.Com, points out it does have the support of many Democrats and labor unions. Moreover, it imposes no burden on taxpayers.
In terms of the environment, from StrokesOfCandor.Com:
But several energy experts say the Keystone XL would be no different from an extensive network of energy pipelines already in place – and some say its state-of-the-art design would make it safer than many of the country’s aging pipelines.
“There’s no shortage of energy pipelines,†says Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research. “This pipeline would be better than 1.9 million miles of pipeline already in the United States. It’s newer and has the best technology.â€
Kish said underground pipelines are the safest way to transport crude oil, though he acknowledged that “whenever you have any kind of human endeavor, you have potential problems and they do occur.â€
“We have tens of thousands of pipeline and I don’t think there’s any good evidence that pipelines are a significant impact on ecosystems to the point that they can’t adapt,†said Kenneth Green, resident scholar at The American Enterprise Institute .
Waxman is also of the opinion that the Koch brothers will benefit from the Keystone XL pipeline. But, according to Philip Ellender, president of Koch Companies Public Sector, “Koch Industries has no financial stake in the Keystone pipeline and we are not party to its design or construction.”  Warren Buffet, on the other hand, would benefit from its defeat.
The Obama administration is apparently willing to engage in talks with terrorists, but the Republicans Waxman is negotiating with are not terrorists.

IDIOT DEMOCRATS
Hey Fugly! Your Precious Muslim Terrorist sitting in th POTUS seat doesn’t even bother with using congress for anything… what do you call that, Jackwipe!? I am fed up with the likes of “your” kind. Shut up and sit down.
Who cares what pigface waxman calls them? He is a lowlife piece of crap that should be in a sewer or septic tank rather than congress.
Yep, Max. Waxman has been an asshole as long as I’ve known of him.
now that you mention it, Waxman does look like a pig.
NO you Stupid Idiot…they are doing what they were voted into office to do…so place the blame where it belongs…on the American people who are FED UP with the likes of You and your Stupid Remarks!!!
Dems are good at this. They project what they are on their opponents. The Republican House has passed over thirty(30) jobs bills, and the Democrat Senate led by Harry Reid (I’m sure at the orders from the Democrat President) has tabled most if not all of them. This is a fact. I ask you who is holding who hostage; ergo, who are the terrorists?
So what does he call himself; a brilliant, handsome ignorant dumbacraper?
They all need to take an in-depth course, of all the founding documents and the Constitution of the United States of America. Also of the conditions of the countries from which the founding father came! Both sides of congress with the exception of very few members stink to the core!
They are much worse then terrorists! These perpetrators of unconstitutional actions now; as United States Chief Justice John Marshal stated it in his time of the likes. Are committing CONSTITUTIONAL TREASON. From the White House, Congress all federal states and local levels of governments and. down through all government agencies and departments! The only difference in them and the MOB is they get to make the laws and regulations. And most of what they do is CONSTITUTIONAL TREASON. Of, which is tyranny not Liberty and honest Freedom.
moderation?
I haven’t said enough.
They make laws and regulations to rob and unjustly control what they want to happen. Yet it is ok to lie to the people, Steal from us, enslave us, to start WARS to suffice their greed of another nations resources. They don’t care who they murder as long as the get what they want! Of course we can have nukes but no one else can. We can supply our pigeons (foolish Friends) we use with weapons of mass destruction, until we need then no longer. Then we bomb then to get control of their oil, land and ports. Then have a mock trial to murder are friend who’s enemy was our enemy Iran. But that is ok, WE are the United States of America. But it is ironic and blatant hypocrisy. We are the only nation in the world to use nukes and not only that but on civilian populations Japan remember. Oh WE can’t for get the millions of unborn babies or can we? That our Supreme Court of wisdom stated it was ok, for they are not human and had no right to life? But most of these babies were conceived by acts of bad behavior. We have a lot of blood on our hands don’t we. We are weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. We can’t do wrong and get by! Oh by the way like people like Leaders
Beware! whenever Dems blame Repuvlicans for something, it means that’s just a cover for the fact that they are doing that very thing. Buffett has put his billions at the disposal of Mr. O so that he can make a profit, and a big one at that. His transportation company will lose lots of dirty dollars if the pipe line is built.
BETTER LEARN TO TALK TO GOD MORE OFTEN. HE IS WAITING.
PLEASE GOD HELP US !!!!
Let’s face it. Ugly people often resort to name calling to make them feel better about themselves. Rep’ “Nose Job Gone Bad” can’t help himself!
Take a lesson in history
That’s the whole problem! We as a nation have turned our backs on GOD for our own selfish ways. This nation from reading history clearly shows it has never been perfect.
BUT, our laws reflect the fact that there was great effort, to build a moral nation.
There was the main grievous issue slavery. The founding fathers tried to circumvent the growth and eliminate it all together. But they know better, that it was wrong at that time and though that it would dissolve it’s self over time. It is clearly seen when The CONTINENTAL CONGRESS in, JULY 4, 1776 ratified at that time: which was know as,
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
We now know it as more commonly as The Declaration of Independence.
I have submitted the first two paragraph of it to refresh our memory of their words and thoughts. As stated:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
But in the Constitution of United States’ even in the framing and ratification of it were against slavery and the 3/5 was only meant, to be used for the purpose for the slave states to get the head count for representation for their states in congress. But as usual there will be evil men in certain areas that abandoned what they know to be true and right. And as providence would have it, it brought this nation in to a Civil War.
Now providence is here again. Have we not read that GOD rules in the affairs of man. Daniel Chapter 4, note verses 30-37 We say it is ok to commit murder of the unborn whom God has formed in their mothers belly. Jeremiah 2:4-5. It is also ok to commit murder to satisfy our greed and attack others nations under known false pretences. Putting our solders and the civil citizen of other nations in harms way to appease the revenge and greed of our wicked leadership. As always it has been that filthy lucre price tags attached to it. There is many ill’s here in America and around the world. But the general attitude of mankind is we know best and the One that made all things does not. Isaiah Chapter 5, verses13-24, No nation is exempt, No not one!
Have we not read, I Timothy 6: 10 “ FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.â€
Yes I do agree that we all BETTER LEARN TO TALK (fervently pray) TO GOD MORE OFTEN, and study his word, as we ought with a pure heart so he can truly teach us his ways. HE IS WAITING, for us all to get closer to him!
YES, PLEASE GOD HELP US !!!!
