OBAMA REALLY DOES THINK YOU"RE STUPID

So as I listened to the ridiculous hot air coming out of the Obama business "summit" this week, I actually burst out laughing. This is not my usual reaction to his arrogant hypocrisies. I usually get angry and start grouching back under my breath. But this was so absurd as to be downright hilarious. He was making attempts at sounding like a savvy business economist, but came across as a over-inflated ego spouting off on a subject he knows ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING about. I thought, does he really think anyone out here is buying this !@(*&^%%$$????

From Big Government.com, Here is an excerpt from Warner Todd Huston on this subject

"On November 11, David N. Farr, Chairman, CEO and President of Emerson Electric Co., announced at the Baird 2009 Industrial Conference in Chicago that President Obama has succeeded in chasing his multi-billion dollar industry right out of the U.S.A. Why? Onerous regulation, high taxes, and the over $1 trillion Obama debt should be reason enough for any business to consider shutting down U.S. facilities and seeking greener pastures overseas says Farr."

The federal government is “doing everything in [its] manpower [and] capability to destroy U.S. manufacturing,” says David Farr, chairman and CEO of Emerson Electric Co., in a presentation at the Baird 2009 Industrial Conference in Chicago Ill., on Nov. 11. In comments reported by Bloomberg, Farr added that companies will continue adding jobs in China and India because they are “places where people want the products and where the governments welcome you to actually do something. I am not going to hire anybody in the United States. I’m moving. They are doing everything possible to destroy jobs.”

So much for "creating and saving jobs." But, hey, who thought Obama's policies would be anything good for America? Not me!! I wonder how long Americans are going to sit out here and take it. I'm guessing if some serious major changes don't appear in the 2010 elections, there is going to be some hell-raising in the hinterland. But since our election process has become so infiltrated and corrupted, I'm not banking on elections that make any sense anymore.

Speaking of banking....have you looked at CD rates lately? To all of the idiots who voted for this guy....thank you so much for further ruining any sense of reasonable balance in the financial sector. If you are in business and can't get any operating capital loans, and banks are not returning much of any interest on investments, well....the engine is in big trouble. The gears are frozen. What's Obama's answer to this? Steal more money from the citizens to give to Socialist / government entities. Forced unions on businesses, expensive and lousy Health Care, and rape all of us with Cap and Trade laws that will send more money to the government and out of the country. Great ideas there ole Presbo! George Orwell knoweth ye well!!

Here is Mr. Farr's list of Obama's helpful business incentives:

Our Government at Work to Help the U.S. Economy Grow:

• $1.41T Deficit 10% of GDP
• $12T of Government Debt Going to $20+T in 10 yrs
• Print more money – “Quantitative Easing”
• Non-Targeted $800B Stimulus
• Wall Street & Car Bailouts
• Cap & Tax Legislation?
• Government Healthcare takeover: $1+T
• Taxes and Regulations (increasing)
• Lack of U.S. $ Support

Are we having fun yet? See my debt clock at the right side bar. We are headed straight down the tubes and Obama is pushing the flusher handle as fast as he can. And while he is flushing us down, he is standing there talking about what a great job he is doing saving America from financial ruin. Oh my God.....I just hope I wake up from this nightmare.

GATHERING VIEWS ON THE HOAX of GLOBAL WARMING

The world is an interesting place with interesting social conundrums and magical scientific mysteries. I have been fascinated by the ability of seemingly sane people in our society who jumped onto the Global Warming Hoax so readily. In a way I understand the well-meaning responsible citizen who just loves to do things to conserve some nature in a country where it seems we are paving over every green space in sight. I'm not keen on over-development either. I'd like to think I will leave the world a better place than when I came into it. I don't get up every day with the motive of killing off the natural world by over-use of anything. I just get up everyday thinking about how I can use my skills to create something that celebrates the world we have been given. I expect people of good conscience feel much the same way.

So the very idea that scammers, swindlers, extortionists, and frauds have been taking advantage of well-meaning people makes me so angry I could just spit nails. But that is the case. That is exactly what has been happening. And I am so very glad that this HOAX is now being exposed for exactly what it is.

The British have the gift of oratory in their Parliament. The video below gives me inspiration that truth will prevail and those of us who stand for it will win against the evil, conspiratorial, liars who have perpetrated this GLOBAL HOAX to enrich themselves and rob everyday people of their ability to survive.




For those of you who like to read what others are saying on this, the views below are from the Telegraph in the U.K. You can access the page here!
____________
"Many of us have believed Algore to be a fraud for many years. A politician masquerading as a scientist. Really. This hypocrite is making a fortune off the carbon trading scam he helped perpetrate and has more money than he’ll ever spend. It’s about time this hoax was exposed for what it is. Time for our politicians in the US to sit down and shut up. You can bet, though, these idiots will not go quietly. They still have a huge, abeit, duped audience that will no doubt want to avoid embarrassment at any cost and will fight to the end.
____________
"Obama is a full fledged liar and communist and he has started a revolution in the U.S.

There is another revolution beginning to take shape in our country.

Watch what happens.

What ever Obama signs we will undo."
____________
"As an American, I’m heartened to read your comments on this site. You in the UK should not stand for this…especially LEGITIMATE SCIENTISTS who have all been sullied by this scandalous scheme. This outrageous HOAX played on the people of the the world should not go unpunished. How many jobs have they cost? How much money have they made at the expense of farmers, utilities, ordianary citizens, etc. who have been harmed?

By the way, FOX News is no longer a small player in the US. They are the most popular pay cable news network, rivaling the original free networks of CBS, NBC and ABC. In fact they shame the mainstream media by exposing stories the MSM are too lazy, too biased or too dumb to go after (much like your BBC). They are behind the exposure of ACORN, as a criminal organization pretending to be aiding their communities. They exposed Obamas openly Marxists aides, called Czars, by showing videos of these people in their own words so they cannot deny the charges, and are making people aware of the erosian of our freedoms. As a result, there are grass roots organizations such as the Tea Partiers,growing by leaps and bounds here and who will be a force to be reconned with in our next elections.

Good luck to you in the UK. I hope you will finally stand up and tell them, “I’m mad as Hell and I won’t take it anymore!”

"almost everybody with an IQ higher than day old bread knows that AGW is a fraud now. Obama doesn’t care in the least. Nobody answering that description would vote for him again anyway. His attorney general just announced that the government will continue to give billions and billions of dollars to an organization accused of massive vote fraud that is also planning to fake the census — which is being run directly by the white house. In other words… there are no “elections” in the USA anymore. Obama will sign a treaty agreeing to yearly payments in the 100’s of billions of dollars to foreign governments opposed to everything American. He has announced previously that he doesn’t believe that treaties need to be validated by the Senate. He will just start making those payments as long as he is in power and HELLO???? he never intends to leave. As Chavez and Castro announced a little early he will soon declare himself president for life. Watch."

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels

I apologise for the plagiarism but no one could put it better than that quote as a summary of the climate debacle. Thank you, id1386"

And just one more I especially liked for the reference to George Orwell:
____________
"Take heart, the collaborators in the liberal scheme to bind the free thought of men…crush freedom and establish the State as the supreme entity, will reap the results of their shameful collusion. The media network outlets in the U.S….CBS NBC ABC, and the New York Times…and all of their corespondents no longer pretend to operate in the interest of truthful information. They are liberal propagandists who have lost their souls and as the magnitude of their corruption is exposed as with lying scientists, they will reap their own ruin.

It must be recognized that the BBC is also being eaten by this liberal cancer and holds a prominent position on the list of the despicable.

UK’s native son George Orwell foretold what is happening to free men right down to the absurd “new-speak” of the Obama regime where “terrorist attack” has been erased and is now…”a man caused disaster”.

Orwell’s work 1984 was a warning to free men. Liberal bedbugs have seized it and are using it as an instruction manual….to the letter.

The bedbugs have much to fear."

AMERICAN ABSOLUTION

No doubt you are seeing the same commercials on TV that I am. You know, the ones with the ethereal sounding voices of children, the visage of celestial iconography, and the word "Hopenhagen" floating across the screen. I wonder if many in America have any clue what the Copenhagen Treaty proposes to do to the sovereignty of the United States. It all looks so Madison Avenue slick and "touchy - feely" warm and fuzzy. Intoning a chant-like mantra designed to appeal to every new-age hippie and their children whose minds are already spinning with guilt for living on the planet, these commercials are designed to make Americans think they are part of some really big worldwide hug. A hug called the Copenhagen Treaty. And of course, President Obama is flitting off with his entourage and huge jets to Copenhagen to put his face all over it in order to make the world believe that he is saving the planet from whom? Us. That's who.
For over sixty years now the left-wing propagandists have been very occupied with convincing Americans that we are very bad people. Forty years ago they grabbed hold of the schools to make sure the children were taught that Americans live on stolen land, built the country using stolen labor, have an illegitimate Constitution written by nasty old white men, and have been using up the planet's resources illegitimately and unfairly. So now we have a population of people, some left wing zealots, some indoctrinated, and some who are just too uneducated to understand, who believe America is a travesty and has no business being more successful than the rest of the world. These people have been led into a twisted guilt trip for just being American. They think Obama will absolve them of their guilt if he just goes to Copenhagen and signs away our guilt to the rest of the world and consigns us to penance payments for decades to come.

First I want to explain what this Copenhagen Treaty says and means, just so you know.

According to Jed Gladstein writing for American Thinker

The proposed treaty authorizes the establishment of a "government" to transfer wealth from industrial nations to non-industrial nations in payment of a "climate debt" which, the treaty declares, the industrial nations owe on account of burning carbon-based fuels. The newly created international government is to have the authority to decide issues relating to carbon emissions in signatory nations, the power to levy what amounts to carbon taxes on signatory nations, and the power to enforce its levies without reference to the will of the people who live in the signatory nations.

Thus, the proposed Climate Change Treaty demands that:

• An unelected international government is to be established without the American people voting on its establishment or membership;
• The unelected international government is to have authority to legislate how much and what kind of carbon-based activity Americans may engage in before they will be taxed on such activity;
• The unelected international government is to have authority to decide the amount of taxes Americans must pay for carbon-based activities, determine the people to whom the taxes will be given, and decide how those people will spend the taxes -- and none of those activities will be subject to presidential veto, congressional oversight, or review by the federal Judiciary, much less a vote by the American people;
• If the American people fail to abide by the legislative edicts of the unelected international government, they will be subject to international enforcement proceedings that are alien to our constitutional ideas of due process, equal protection, personal freedom, and property rights.

So, Obama wants to sign a treaty that gives some panel, not authorized by the people of the United States, the power to tax Americans and dictate to Americans just how much energy Americans are allowed to consume for their businesses and their lives. Somehow I'm not feeling the love here. Did Americans knowingly elect a President to sign away American sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution? Did Barack Obama not take the oath to support, defend, and uphold the U.S. Constitution? (The oath was botched and he was subjected to a do-over, as I recall)
And if this isn't bad enough, did Americans actually do anything to worsen the condition of planet earth in the past forty years?

Emails revealed last week from the Climatic Research Unit in Britain proved that the scientists feeding information to the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change had been manipulating evidence, hiding the truth, and laughing all the way to the bank for years. This information finally shows that lying to get funding research was the norm. It also shows that the assertion that men are to blame for some radical shift in the climate is absurd. It finally exposes the hoax for what it is. It finally exposes Al Gore for what he is, a very clever snake oil salesman who also has been laughing all the way to the bank. The entire reason for the IPCC, the Kyoto Treaty, and the Copenhagen Treaty has been a virtual shakedown of advanced industrial nations.

And finally, this email chain of evidence proves that Americans are not to blame for ruining anyone's planet. While America's population has risen over the past twenty years, our output of pollution has gone down. There is no reason for Americans to feel guilty or pay through the nose for some false data put together by some extortionists for their own gain. Americans can hold their heads up and stop feeling as if we are some scourge on the earth. Americans can be proud of their track record on pollution and stewardship of the earth. America is not a "problem" and should not be held hostage to some ridiculous ransom. Obama needs to get off the Climate Change train because it is heading for a very big crash. And frankly, I think, so is he. The lies are not "sustainable."

WHY AL GORE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED UNDER RICO LAWS

AN EXPLANATION OF THE RICO LAW

The specific goal of RICO is to punish the use of an enterprise to engage in certain criminal activity. A person who uses an enterprise to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity may be convicted under the RICO criminal statute (18 U.S.C.A. § 1963). An enterprise is defined as "any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity." A pattern is defined as "at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of [RICO's passage] and the last of which occurred within ten years … after commission of a prior act of racketeering activity." Racketeering activity includes a number of discrete criminal offenses, such as gambling, bribery, extortion, bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, securities fraud, prostitution, narcotics trafficking, loan sharking, and murder.

While Al Gore is not the only offender who should be brought to trial on these charges, I am using him as the main protagonist of the case. Fraud and extortion are the two main offenses here that apply. Now that the "hackers" have released the emails from the scientific organizations that #1. Prove the science on Global Warming is a fraud, and #2. Show without any doubt that scientists were manipulating data to protect their own revenue streams, we can proceed with the prosecution of all of those who have perpetrated this fraud on the public. Not just the American public, but the global population as well.

I have never bought into it. I don't know that I am soooooo smart that I could see through it, but I have lived long enough to recognize a scam, especially one as transparent as this one. I am old enough to remember the "ice age" hysteria in the 1960's which never came to pass. I watched as that particular nonsense switched to "warming" instead of "cooling" just to grab some more followers. I watched as a close relative funneled whatever money he could to the Sierra Club and every other environmental organization because he was so sure that made him a better human being, it made him feel as if he was part of some great cause that was going to "save the earth." He bought into the Zero Population hysteria, too, and never had any children because of it. For a while he went into the "vegan" lifestyle because he bought into the idea that animal protein was bad for us. This relative died at 59 and was miserably grouchy through most of his time here. He was perennially mad at everyone who was successful, prosperous, and lived large. He blamed every human and would call himself a "pimple on the ass of the earth," because of the horrendously dismal articles he would read. In his world it just wasn't fair that some people were happily living their lives while he was totally convinced that the world was ending any time now. I look upon him and his life as a very sad case of indoctrination that ruined his life. Think about that while you are thinking of the indoctrination of our children going on in the past few years. How are they impacted by lies and distortions that make them think the world is doomed and it is all their fault.

But back to the RICO violations. It is a major crime to defraud the government of money. It is a major crime to extort money from the public. What would you call it when the U.S. government is being scammed by Al Gore and groups who are grabbing tax dollars for "green" jobs??? What do you call it when the text books being taught in the public schools are lying to school children to support a scam?? What do you call it when complicit media outlets on the take such as MSNBC/NBC - GE purport lies to enrich their parent corporation? By virtue of the size of the money pots going towards this "Global Warming" hoax, this is, without a doubt, the biggest fraud and extortion plot that has ever been exacted on the planet.

Alas, Eric Holder, the social justice boob who is now in charge of our legal system, is not going to go after Al Gore. No....he is too busy going after the circus trial in NY just to try to drag the CIA and the Bush Administration through the mud in public.

So I'm just engaged in wishful thinking again....wishing that some really big fish would fry for their crimes against us. If you or I created a ponzi scheme or a way to scam the public with snake oil, we'd be in chains in some federal prison for the rest of our lives. I'm wishing...."Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Let justice win this one. And thank God for those "hackers."

P.S. As for my not buying into this scam in the first place....Somehow or another I was given the gift of "Doubting Thomas." It didn't help me out much in math classes when the formula was static and I had to figure out some simple addition, subtraction, or division problem. Instead I would sit there and ask, "Why?" I can only imagine the frustration my teachers must have felt when faced with such a belligerent student. My grades were not stellar, but my curious mind did not let me down. Asking "why" is not such a bad thing when faced with such an arrogant salesman as Al Gore. When someone is pressing you to buy what they are selling, telling you to buy it really FAST, and giving you a line of BS, you can pretty much tell there is some other agenda going on. This Global Warming / Climate Change / Cap and Trade / stuff has so many red flags that a simpleton could see it is a scam. How the public has gotten so mesmerized and indoctrinated into this is beyond the scope of reasonable belief. But there you are...it is what it is. We have our work cut out for us to deprogram a whole lot of zombie-bots and get their brains working again.
Again, thank God for those hackers!!!

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO AMERICA?

I'd like to introduce you to Carol Browner. She is Obama's Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change. She was also the former administrator of Bill Clinton's Environmental Protection Agency. According to Wikepedia, she worked as legislative director from 1988 to 1991 for then Senator Al Gore. From 1991 to 1993 she was the head of the Florida Environmental Protection Agency. What Wikepedia doesn't tell you Reference Washington Times article is that Carol Browner was also listed as one of 14 members of a Socialist group called the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, under the umbrella group called Socialists International, which just happens to be a George Soros funded organization. The Commission for a Sustainable World Society calls for global governance and proposes that "rich" countries must shrink their economies to address "climate change." She was on the board of directors of the League of Conservation Voters, the Center for American Progress, and former Vice President Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection. In other words, Ms. Browner is in the business of undermining the American economy in order to promote some socialist idea that America is using up too much energy and resources. Carol Browner's philosophy is Barack Obama's philosophy, which is why he chose her to fill the Energy and Climate Czar position. If you ever were sitting there scratching your head and asking yourself why is our government seeming to destroy businesses, sending more business overseas, and promoting caps on American energy sources and usage, you were not just making it up. That is exactly the plan and they are very busy at implementing it.

So lately you are seeing frenetic amounts of "Green" TV and advertisements for a Copenhagen treaty. And next you might be asking yourself, what is the Copenhagen Treaty? The Copenhagen Treaty is the Kyoto Treaty on steroids. You see socialists / environmentalists are not satisfied with banning off shore drilling, banning nuclear plants, exploration for shale oil, etc. in America. They want a global treaty signed, sealed and delivered that our country will not produce the necessary fossil fuels or clean coal or nuclear power in order to "sustain" our way of life, including our manufacturing industries as well as our homes. The Copenhagen Treaty is putting slick ads on TV to convince the American public that this is THE definitive global answer to saving our dear planet. To swallow this, you have to first agree that the planet is sick and dying because of those dastardly humans. Since Carol Browner is a protege of Al Gore and has drunk more than a few gallons of inconvenient Kool-ade, she is convinced that the very necessary component of life on earth, carbon dioxide, is a deadly toxin. (Truthfully, I don't think either she or Al Gore believe that, but they want you to believe it so they can make gobs and tons of money on carbon offsets.) This demonization of carbon dioxide is the perfect foil to deny innocent and uneducated people of their ability to use energy to produce anything. Browner, Gore, and Obama are in the business of guilting you into thinking that using energy to live is a crime against mother earth.

But back to Carol Browner. Because she has been placed into the position of Director of Energy and Climate Change, she is now gifted the wand of regulating energy use in the United States without congressional approval. She can put forth edicts that businesses and homeowners must follow, restricting manufacturing, building, heating and cooling homes, etc., without one ounce of agreement from Congress or the people of the United States. At the moment Ms. Browner is lamenting the fact that Cap and Trade is not a signed bill by the President, so she cannot go to Copenhagen with the announcement that Obama has already devastated the energy sector in the U.S. She wanted to go to Copenhagen to sign onto the treaty and make the announcement that Obama and Congress have already rationed our use of energy. Poor Carol. She was so excited to sign onto the Copenhagen Treaty which proposes that every advanced country be taxed 0.7% on its GDP. In the United States, based on 2008 figures, that means $99.82 billion of our tax dollars going to some global environmental organization who wishes to redistribute that wealth to God knows who or where. Last time I looked at the debt clock, America is already up to its eyeballs in debt, so by all means, lets just borrow more money to pay some global socialists on the ruse of "environmental justice." America, already being the most environmentally responsible country on the planet, should absolutely pay all those other people for something. For what, I can only imagine.

The Copenhagen Treaty takes away the sovereign decision making of any participating country to manage its own energy strategies. Furthermore, it is, as Barack Obama's policies all embrace, a socialist wealth redistribution format where "rich" countries are to compensate "poor" countries as on page 122, Item 17: [[Developed [and developing] countries] [Developed and developing country Parties] [All Parties] [shall] [should]:]
(a) Compensate for damage to the LDCs’ economy and also compensate for lost opportunities, resources, lives, land and dignity, as many will become environmental refugees;
(b) Africa, in the context of environmental justice, should be equitably compensated for environmental, social and economic losses arising from the implementation of response measures.

Coincidentally, the treaty paragraph shown happens to throw money at Africa for "environmental justice." I don't know about you, but I don't happen to know of any reason why American taxpayers should be on the hook for some arbitrary "environmental injustice" that none of the everyday taxpayers caused. This is interesting to me in the context of national angst over money going overseas to pay for oil. Now, instead of paying for oil, this crowd wants American money to go overseas to pay for "environmental justice?" Hmmmm...how does that work? I'm still trying to figure out the dire sentence there that ends with "dignity, as many will become environmental refugees." We certainly aren't "compensating" the farmers in the San Joaquin Valley in California who are experiencing a drought and the EPA will not allow irrigation to the farms on the ruse of saving a micro sized fish. Wouldn't you classify them as "environmental refugees," having lost their businesses and livelihoods? If we are going to compensate for environmental decisions, how about saving those American farmers from destitution??

So far the Obama administration seems determined to bleed the American public dry, on all issues; health care, environmentalism, finance, all of them. Just like the Health Care bills are not about Health Care, neither is Cap and Trade nor the Copenhagen Treaty about environmental responsibility. It's all about wealth distribution, away from Americans and into the pockets of special interests, lobbyists, globalists, unions, and favored causes of the Socialist Party. While you are contemplating this, remember that none of these global thieves are going to be riding bicycles to retrieve their groceries. They will still be riding around in the sleek private jets with motorcades awaiting them and other people will be bringing in their groceries. They are in the business of making you pay for their lifestyles while you are wondering how to heat your house this winter or keep your job. Their carbon footprints are not shrinking while yours are. Turning off your lights may lower your electric bill, but it does nothing to increase energy in some under-developed country. You can also remember that making Americans poorer is not going to make one African richer. The generosity of Americans can only come from a vibrant and industrious nation, one we used to have and are losing by the minute.

That's who they are and that's what they do. Redistribute the wealth. And they are doing it to us, America.

Addendum: The New America - article by William F. Jasper "The Earth-saving, jet-setting Gore (whose Tennessee mansion has a "carbon footprint" 20 times that of the average American family) is a collectivist ideologue who gives every indication of being in the green game for power and prestige as much as (or more than) for the money. He and his fellow globalists want to "transform" the world, to remake it to their own desires. The green path is their road not only to pelf, but also to power.

OBAMA MONEY

I have not written this past week because I have commissioned paintings I am working on and, also, the bad news is so prevalent that I find it difficult to choose which subject to discuss. So today I am just checking in to tell a short story.

This week I delivered 8 paintings to a gallery who represents my work. The gallery owner is a very nice lady who I like personally. Her gallery is in what used to be gorgeous, century old house, now in a Historical District, that belonged to a prominent family here in town in the early 1900's. Besides my works she carries 6 or so other artists' works and the quality of art is high. But here is the rub. With ownership come responsibilities. And this lesson is evidently missed by the gallery owner. She always laments the condition of the building she owns, which is terribly in need of repairs....but the next sentence that comes from her is that she wants to find a "grant" to do the work. She moans it will take thousands of dollars. But had she kept up with it over time, the maintenance would have been incremental, instead of what is now monumental. Now she would like to use other people's money to fix up her own property. Eventually that is what might happen, after she is dead and her children sell the house to the Historical Society and the government grants come pouring in. But for now it is in dilapidation and like an old woman whose parts are giving out, one by one. Holes in the ceiling, furnace on the blink, paint chipping off everywhere, carpet that is rolling under your feet with age.

As we discussed the economy and business ownership, I mentioned to her that the government is going to take an even bigger chunk of her money between Health Care and Cap and Trade. At which point she looked at me as if her brain just left town, eyes wide open, but blank. She shook her head.

I said, "You know, I just think people had no clue what they were voting for in this past election." And then....she parroted the mantra...."Well, we HAD to have change!!" "We HAVE to HAVE Health Care."

O.k....there's my story. And that is what we are stuck with. The blank, uneducated view of one with eyes glazed over who never spent a second to study an issue critical to her citizenship or her business. I'm starting to think that people like this should never vote in an election. Not that I can stop them....but for crying out loud, what future can we have with this kind of negligence??? She is taking care of her voting privilege the same way she takes care of her property.....NOT AT ALL. Somebody else will do it, I guess. We'll have Obama money...you know the "stash."

Have a great weekend.

SCIENCE TRUTH ON CLIMATE CHANGE From AL FIN

A Picture is worth a thousand words...to repeat a coined phrase.
I often check out the blog of Al Fin

whose link is on the right side bar of this blog. Insightful and full of great information, some of which is way over my head, it is always interesting. Today he has this graph and the following editorial. (below) All you have to do is look at that graph to realize America is not the villain in this "supposed" CO2 scare that Al Gore and Co. and Obama want to make you think we are. First, I am not at all convinced that CO2 is any kind of a problem, but rather one of the most necessary components of life here on Earth. Having said that, even if it were, you can see that Americans are not the evil culprits of life-damning actions that the Climate Changelings would have you believe. Those are my thoughts....below you can read the great thoughts from AL FIN.Image via Watts Up With That!?"Global climate treaties are increasingly aimed at the heart of developed nations in Europe, North America, and Oceania. The leaders of the US, the UK, Australia, and the EU are falling over each other in the attempt to submit their nations to most crippling regime of energy starvation conceivable. Yet it is clear from the chart above, that the US and Europe can not control the rest of the world's carbon emissions.

So the rest of the world accelerates its CO2 spew unhindered by the international climate gestapo. In fact, under proposed new Copenhagen rules, the North America and Europe would have to pay the third world reparations into the $trillions -- while at the same time reducing their own energy output to starvation levels. Why are western leaders so driven to place their nations under such draconian and self-destructive international energy regulations and reparations?

Call it energy anorexia -- the Obama - Pelosi - Brown - Rudd disease. Like anorexia nervosa, energy anorexia is a deadly pathological response to an imagined problem. Energy anorexia threatens the life of the body -- in this case the nation.

There is no greater threat to an industrial economy than the restriction and destruction of its energy base. This tragicomic self-destructive impulse is made all the more pointless by the obvious fact that it will not change anything, in terms of global carbon balances."
