From the outset, President Obama directed his powerful government agencies and congressional allies to help him "fundamentally transform" the United States. Too many of them were eager to nationalize the nation's healthcare system, ignore or rewrite inconvenient laws, control the internet and political speech, implement new regulations that imposed enormous costs for few or illusory benefits, and shut down oil, gas and coal in favor of expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized wind, solar and biofuel energy. We voters and citizens were supposed to "tip our hats to the new Constitution" and "take a bow for the new revolution," as The Who put it in their classic song, "Won't Get Fooled Again." But now people seem less inclined to "smile and grin at the change all around." They increasingly grasp the enormous costs of this ruling class totalitarian anarchy, refuse to get fooled again, and are telling Mr. Obama, "Your states and your citizens are beyond your command," as Bob Dylan might say. Perhaps "the times are a-changing" once again, and "the losers now will be later to win" – in 2016 and beyond. Pervasive signs certainly portend a newer revolution. Indeed, the reactions of some previous cheerleaders reflect anger at the disdain the president often seems to show for their jobs and well-being. The energy and environment arena is only part of the total picture, but it's a vitally important one.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_mccarthy_gina.jpg
