The hidden truths about the Dem's "Green Agenda"

A central issue in the centrist-left's recent rise to power was the environment. Al Gore won a 2007 Nobel Prize for his works and a documentary combating global warming, President Obama won the election by promoting his "green agenda", and one of the most notable bills passed by Congress this year was the Cap and Trade Energy Bill. What I believe that the typical American doesn't realize are the politics behind every move in ANY Congress or President, whether it be Republican or Democrat.

President Obama and this Democrat controlled Congress haven't "changed" anything. One of the organizations that stand to gain the most from the aforementioned Bill is a company owned by Al Gore. This was reported by Glenn Beck in the end of May 2009.

Here is where this article from Politico.com comes into play:

Dems trump Obama's Green Agenda

Basically the article details how special interests have affected the climate change measures for the Democrats. It explains how Dems from states with a large livestock industry have shut down measures that the EPA wanted to include. Provisions allowing the EPA to measure and regulate the amount of Methane produced in livestock and manure farms. Methane, as a by product of cow digestion, is one of the largest contributors to the erosion of the Ozone layer.

The bill was also amended by politicians with links to maritime unions. Their supporters stood to fall under new regulations from the EPA for steamboats operating in the Great Lakes.

I am not criticizing the Democrats for their actions. There is still very little evidence to prove that human actions alone are contributing to climate change and that any of our minor "fixes" will have any impact aside from increasing prices of goods for Americans. What I am criticizing is the falsehood Democrats promoted in the most recent election: "CHANGE". There is no change from party to party. Politicians will always be motivated by special interests and they will usually not have the average American's well being in mind, just their own.

The only real change I have seen is the radical socialization of this country. If that's what you wanted then it's here. If you want change you have to understand the only change you're going to get is the name after Congressman/Senator and the little letter (R), (D), or (I). Most politicians are motivated by special interests, period. Anyone who doesn't understand that just doesn't read or care enough and it's a shame that people like that have the same vote that I do.
