Democrats’ ‘Gasophobia’ Will Prove Fatal to Even More Americans

The just-departed polar vortex confirmed that when Mother Nature is enraged, it’s wise to have options.
Maddeningly, today’s “pro-choice” Democrats want Americans to have one energy choice.
Neo-totalitarian, left-wing eco-extremists are banning new natural-gas access in scores of locales. If not reversed, this cruel, stupid, needless policy will kill Americans.
The Christmastime deep freeze that transformed much of the U.S. into the North Pole illustrates the deadly folly of forcing citizens to rely solely on an increasingly fragile electric grid (Plan A) while blocking natural gas as a secondary energy source (Plan B).
“The root cause of our grid’s reliability problems is simple,” explains “Fossil Future” author Alex Epstein. “America is shutting down too many reliable power plants” and replacing them with inconsistent solar and wind facilities.
Naturally, enviro-know-it-alls hate natural gas, a fossil fuel.
To them, gas is like cyanide. So, they have cancelled pipelines into New England and scotched new residential and commercial hookups and gas appliances in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and at least 74 other cities.
Those with electricity and natural gas enjoy two kinds of energy — for heating, cooling, charging, etc.
If the gasophobes prevail, millions more Americans will have electricity but no natural gas.
That’s cute — until an electrical outage occurs. And then . . . welcome to the 19th century.
The Yuletide polar vortex saw temperatures plunge below zero from the Rockies to the Great Lakes. Coupled with power failure, this became a death sentence for Americans who froze in their unheated residences.
At least nine New Yorkers in Erie County (Buffalo) suffered this miserable demise.
Up to 146 Texans similarly perished in February 2021’s frigid, epic “e-snafu.”
Those cursed with Plan A similarly would be condemned by the Left to freeze and starve. Those with both choices could ignore their non-functioning electric appliances and either activate gas heaters to stay warm — and alive — or at least use their gas stoves to cook meals and boil pots of water to steam the chill away.
Gas pipelines also let those with Generac and similar generators enjoy heat, food, lights, laptops, stereos, and HDTVs. The moment a disaster-driven or rolling shortage occurs, these gas-fueled generators kick in automatically.
Blackout? What blackout?
Gasophobia prevents Americans from capitalizing on this life-saving technology.
Here is yet another reason why anti-gas prohibitionism is so pig-headed: Saboteurs keep striking electric equipment.
Four Washington-state substations were hit on Dec. 25, menacing some 15,000 customers amid temperatures in the 30s and 40s.
Oregon and Washington lately have endured six other anti-electric assaults.
Shooting attacks on two North Carolina facilities frosted 45,000 customers on Dec. 3. A rifleman likewise darkened two Utah counties in 2019. Gunmen fired at Silicon Valley transformers in 2013. Damage: $15 million.
Those with natural gas, and especially gas-based generators, more easily could survive such willful destruction. They would remain comfortable while their electricity-only neighbors shivered or sweated.
Leftist gasophobes would condemn Americans to ice and death rather than warmth and life, because of “climate!”
Well, “climate!” means little to those who swelter in blackened homes or others who see their breath while huddled beneath five blankets. Still more will tremble in fear as they wonder what will happen if their CPAP gear or oxygen machines peter out.
Natural gas should please environmentalists who scream, “Climate!” more often than monks whisper, “Jesus.” Compared to coal, natural gas emits 45% less of the carbon dioxide that gasophobes loathe.
Alas, their hatred of the very CO2 that they exhale with every shouted slogan is an article of faith. So, such facts get steamrolled en route to their carbon-neutral nirvana.
If people become icicles in their beds during electrical emergencies, who cares?
The cities and states that have enacted gas bans should repeal them, and Americans should be free to use electricity and natural gas.
Maintaining primary and secondary energy sources is just common sense — something totally alien to today’s neo-totalitarian Democrats.

Trudeau
Trudeau recently verbally attacked all conservatives with extreme prejudice and then ran and hid, which seems to be his m. o.; such a fascistic coward he is.
Why is the government of Canada imposing vaxx mandates on truckers when they’re being lifted in the most radical leftist cities in America? What’s going on in Canada is the disintegration of freedom, which is, in large part, what the COVID restrictions have really been all about.

Dictator in Chief
The same experts who told us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq told us Donald Trump would be an imperial Hitler like ruler…. of course the experts were wrong. But here is this little order from our current oval office resident… not to put too fine a point on it mr. Resident but no stinking way, lucky for us the Constitution is not completely dead… you don’t get to make the rules at least not yet
Typical Democrat Governor
Make no mistake about it, total control is the unholy grail of the American leftist.
Socialism and Communism
(IN)Fidel Castro has Died
Main Stream Media types are in mourning while Cuban exiles are celebrating.
For Colon Kaepernick and anyone thinking ‘romantically’ about the dashing revolutionary, turned oppressive dictator, please read the words of a man who actually lived under the rule of Fidel Castro.
“Cuba for more than five decades under the Castros has stifled practically any and all dissent. According to Human Rights Watch, “Cuban citizens have been systematically deprived of their fundamental rights to free expression, privacy, association, assembly, movement, and due process of law. Tactics for enforcing political conformity have included police warnings, surveillance, short-term detentions, house arrests, travel restrictions, criminal prosecutions, and politically motivated dismissals from employment.”
~Armando Seguero, Cuban exile~
Long before ISIS began filming their atrocious acts Castro had filmed his. He was one of the worst of the worst and yet the left seemed to admire that extremely evil person. Remember that when you hear the lefties lionize him.
Democrats are National Socialists
What we don’t often hear or learn about is how Hitler ruled the rest of Germany, what his domestic policies were for the German people he didn’t march off to death camps. Hitler’s domestic, socialist policies will be the focus of this post. Trigger warning: they’re eerily similar to what American Democrats tout today. Double trigger warning? He initially had the support of the mob of people. So replace many of Hitler’s policies with something you hear from Bernie Sanders…
Hitler created jobs…through government. While at the same time, he criticized certain segments of the population, demeaning them, blaming the countries woes upon them. The rich, they just ruin everything. Sound familiar?
from the WW2 Surivor’s accounting of Nazism:
After Hitler’s health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything. When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full. If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the medical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.
As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80% of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families. All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.
Abortion
The great sacrament of the left, abortion. You’ll be pleased to know that Hitler was pro-choice:
Dr. Tessa Chelouche goes on to quote Hitler’s 1942 policy statement on the application of abortion to Slavic people, which is chillingly similar to modern Planned Parenthood propaganda:
“In view of the large families of the Slav native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible. We are not interested in seeing the non-German population multiply…We must use every means to instill in the population the idea that it is harmful to have several children, the expenses that they cause and the dangerous effect on woman’s health… It will be necessary to open special institutions for abortions and doctors must be able to help out there in case there is any question of this being a breach of their professional ethics.”
Compare the Nazi’s application of abortion to how Planned Parenthood (a government-funded organization) operates. Also read up on Margaret Sanger, who echoed much of Hitler’s sentiment.
The Police State
If you dared oppose the Nazis or Hitler politically, especially with your words, you better watch out. The Gestapo was on the hunt for political dissidents, many of whom would simply vanish.
SS chief Heinrich Himmler also turned the regular (nonparty) police forces into an instrument of terror. He helped forge the powerful Secret State Police (Geheime Staatspolizei), or Gestapo; these non-uniformed police used ruthless and cruel methods throughout Germany to identify and arrest political opponents and others who refused to obey laws and policies of the Nazi regime.
Compare the Gestapo with how leftists want to jail people who do not believe in man-made climate change. Compare the Gestapo to the Gaystapo, who fines people who do not agree with gay marriage or the gay lifestyle. Compare the Gestapo to liberal New York, which fines you for not using the right gender pronouns.
In Conclusion
Hitler was a horrible human being. But aside from how he treated the Jews, aside from his monsterous ways, his polcies were anything but “conservative.” He wanted big government, he wanted big eductation, he wanted thought control. He hated political dissidents. He loathed free-speech. He feared an armed citizenry.
So stop saying “Hitler was right-wing.” No, he wasn’t. If anything, he was a full-fledged left-winger. With a horrible mustache.
