    That's right folks. The last lead smelting plant in America is closing.
    That means all military lead for weapons will have to come from outside the US.
    All of your car batteries will cost more.
    All of your ammo will now have to be bought with foreign lead.

    This is putting the country in a grave strategic deficit.
    Not to mention all of those jobs going down the tubes.

    The EPA. Another federally appointed authoritarian agency, with simply too much power.

    We're talking about lead. Get it out of here. Let the third-worlders choke on the poison if they want to make it.

    That must be that caring we hear so much about.

    Let the Americans pay more because enviro-wackjob hysteria is an easy sell at the polls.

    You think Obama gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about these mostly-fictitious concerns?

    Hell no.

    He knows that by weakening Americas ability to produce we can increase the number of poor people.

    That's the end game for every one of the EPAs thuggish actions over the past 8 years.

    HIGHER COST OF ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS

    LESS BUYING POWER FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN

    MORE POOR PEOPLE.

    Question: I wonder how leftoids feel about creating the very thing they think they are fixing?

    Answer: They don't even know its happening because they aren't 1/100th as "informed and educated" as they claim to be.

    You do realize they were ordered to be shut down for not meeting the 2008 Air Quality Standard right?

    And this is why you don't want to trust chain E-Mails and random non-sourced blogs.

    IF THIS IS/WAS TRUE. ....... It. falls under national security but our Congress is spending it,s time trying to make partisan political hay out of Benghazi instead of looking into real potentially dangerous move of closing down a strategic metal smelting plant.

    This is just another case where both political parties have their heads up their respective rectums.

    They're worried about 1 lead producer, yet we have 100 nuclear power plants in this country.

    Don't worry, be happy.

    Thank you for posting this as a check on the rumor and fecal natter posting crowd. I fell for it and posted a rant. Usually I am skeptical of non standard media sources but I fell down on the job and let myself be conned by people who talk to THE FACE ON MARS.

    The nuclear reactors are all going into meltdown when the ice age hits.

    But what if there's a sudden demand for an increase in lead production? What then?

    Snap frozen solid, you know?

    The next ice age is coming from climate change when the heat transfer system in the ocean stalls and stops carrying cold water away from the arctic and warm water to the arctic.

    This is going to happen.

    And then we can't get to the reactor to shut it down when it goes into meltdown.

    Nuclear power and no lead. Great combination, huh? Professionals who use X-ray and CAT scanners will just have to wear aluminum foil for shielding.

    We'll find something through SCIENCE, LOL.

    I don't know, they must find something. They'll mix formulas and come up with something like: IpsomBahamutUpsidasium
