How Green Are My Fields

Well, Im’ convinced-  not necessarily about man’s role in all that inconvenient Global Cooling, uh, warming, uh- scratch that- Take Two!

Well, I’m convinced that maybe something might sort of , could be, who knows, maybe be some kind of climate change thingie. Seriously- something HAS to be going on, because they are RIGHT- climate is changing. It’s soooooo weird- every three months or so, the climate either gets colder, or it gets hotter. Plus, we have all these gross thunderstorms and stuff, yuck! I sure hope that guy in the Washington – (what is it, a museum? What? A house? Shut Up!) wherever he is, you know, the guy that said no more taxes ever will just stop this yucky weather- I’ve got to go to the mall.

The thing is, one part out of all of the pap the left has spewed about ‘Global” whatever is that there is money to be made on the backs of all of us schlubs out here- just ask Al Gore. You remember him- the guy who ran for president and couldn’t even carry his own state? Well he’s doing just fine, thanks to the left pushing this scam on the American public.

When Al Gore lost the election in 2000, he was worth about 2 million, but thanks to the left pushing his movie like it was crack, and all the speaking engagements, where he is a legend in his own mind, he is now worth approximately 100 million. That’s real money, even if he was to pay half of that to the federal government, which I am sure he will find a way to avoid. If he bought “Carbon Offsets” to subsidize the “footprint” he leaves with all his SUVs, and his Gulfstream aircraft, he would be a lot poorer, but noooo.

He has privately told people he wants to be the first “Carbon” billionaire, which is a feat, for he produces nothing but hot air, so while he might qualify for a tax credit under “alternative” energy guidelines, all this proves is that liberals do not feel as if they have to actually produce anything in order to enrich themselves- just ride the backs of all of us who do actual work.

Carbon taxes, or Cap and Trade, if you wish to use that disingenuous term, are another way to tax the working man and woman without calling it an outright tax, but when it is in full swing, our energy prices will double. Tell me if you are paying too low a price for your energy now- anybody?- No?- I didn’t think so, but wait-

THERE’S MORE!

It wouldn’t just affect your at home energy, but every gallon of gasoline, every bit of energy you use at work- really, truly, anything you do would be taxed and MONITORED. Yes, if you turned your thermostat down lower than Barama decrees, well, there will be a penalty tax attached. Like Pavlov’s Dog, they intend to socially engineer us through aversion techniques- if it hurts your wallet bad enough, you will learn to like freezing, or sweating- depending on, of course, the ” climate change.”

You see, we have people now in power that feel that our ( the United States) carbon footprint is too large, so we must shrink it, and they feel that the best way to do that is to make us produce less. This would begin to bring us down to the level of a third- world nation, and make other nations feel better about themselves, but is it really our task to re- do any other nation’s self- image?

Listen, I feel sorry for all the liberals who loathe themselves because they were fortunate enough to be born in the greatest country in the world, but our success is not cause for sorrow, nor have we caused all the problems in the world today. I have no guilt over the Palestinian problem- if they are too stupid to realize that throwing a rock at a tank might get them shot, oh well.

Still, the “greening” of Al Gore we can do without- as we can this onerous tax on energy. When we have a workable plan for alternative energy, fine, I’m all for it, but punishing our society for succeeding when all you liberals want is failure is childish, and worse, incredibly ignorant.

Not that that fault has ever stopped you before.

Cap And Trade Is A Huge Tax

Democrats are not usually forthcoming with their plans to tax. They have all kinds of names like investment, contribution and redistribution but no matter what it is called it is always a matter of taking our money. The Democrats have one hand in each pocket and their knee in our backs but they claim all is well and that only the “rich” will pay. Of course, if they took all the money of all people who made over 200,000 dollars they would not have enough to pay for what they just spent. We would still be going deeper and deeper into debt. This means that everyone will pay more in taxes.

I know, Obama promised no tax increase for 95% of the people. Many of them do not pay taxes to begin with so if he keeps them there then about 40% of the population will have seen no increase. People did get an extra $13 each week. That equals $676 a year. Remember when Bush gave each person $600 in the stimulus and Michelle Obama made fun of it and said it would not even buy a pair of earrings? Now that Obama has given about as much we are supposed to hail it as a tax refund that is magnanimous. Bush’s tax refund of $600 was the same darn thing.

Anyway, how will Obama pay for his out of control spending? He will tax everyone. It might not be income tax but he will enact policies that will raise other taxes. That $13 a week will go bye-bye real fast when the Democrats get done tinkering around. Right now they are in the process of trying to pass a cap and trade system. This all sounds wonderful and it is supposed to help the environment but it will end up costing everyone a fortune. Look at this quote:

“Nobody in this country realizes that cap-and-trade is a tax — and it’s a great big one,” Rep. John Dingell [Breitbart TV]

A Democrat made it very clear that this is a tax and it will be a big one. Watch the linked video and you will see him asking how to get people to buy off on this when it has failed everywhere else. Al Gore answers that he is in favor of cap and trade AND a carbon tax. They want to tax us for the gas we expire when we breathe, a gas needed by vegetation to live.

I always said if government could figure out a way to tax air they would tax us for breathing. Looks like they are doing just that.

The taxes will be passed on to consumers who will pay them via the backdoor. It might look like the taxes are on business but business passes costs on to consumers. The Democrats are trying to tax EVERYONE while claiming to only go after the rich.

They already raised tobacco taxes and that affects the poor more than anyone. My hope is that people will quit smoking but then the government will have to raise other taxes to cover the money they are counting on from tobacco. Hell, there are not enough smokers now to foot the bill so it will only get worse when people are forced to quit.

You saw the quote and if you watched the video you heard it right from the donkey’s mouth, cap and trade is a huge tax. They are just trying to figure out how to get it passed without causing a riot.

Government will continue to screw things up until we get rid of them. We need to vote them all out of office and we need to do while we can still afford to breathe.

Obama; Earth Day For Thee But Not For Me

Barack Obama is admittedly the most tech savvy person ever to occupy the White House. His network of electronic supporters is in the millions and he is so attached to new technology he is getting a special super dooper Blackberry so he can stay connected. His staff includes a bunch of young folks who are wise to the electronic age. He has used web based video to his advantage and yet, he declined to use technology on Earth Day.

Barack Obama went on a little trip to Des Moines in Air Force One to talk about Earth Day and how we all had to conserve. He burned about 9000 gallons of fuel in order to tell us to conserve. This is another do as I say moment for an elected official.

With all the tech wizards he has around him would it have been too difficult for him to give his sermon from the White House and broadcast it via the Internet? He could have saved 9000 gallons of fuel and the resultant carbon footprint by using technology instead of an airplane (and helicopter and limo).

He is cut from the same cloth as Al Gore who tells us to ride bikes and reduce our carbon footprint while he uses more energy in a year than some small countries.

It all amounts to we the people are supposed to cut back and conserve but those who are leading us are free to use as they wish because they are important. Besides, the taxpayer paid for the fuel and the trip so what does it matter to The Won?

I have always been skeptical of Earth Day and the celebrations. The hypocrites who attend the gatherings use fuel to get there, smoke tobacco (and who knows what else) and then leave tons of trash lying around. All the while they tell us to save the planet for our children.

If only they had the same approach with regard to the out of control spending by our government. Man Made Global Warming is unproven and those who, in 1975, said we would be in an ice age by 2000 are telling us we will be melting in a decade. They can’t tell us with certainty what the weather will be this weekend but they can tell us what it will be in 10 years.

The debt we are accumulating, at record paces mind you, will absolutely be passed on to our children and grandchildren and the sad thing is they have no hope of ever being able to pay it all off.

All that fuel and he could have accomplished much more by using the web.

Do as I say and not as I do you peons.

Before the libs start linking to show me how much fuel Bush used on past Earth Days keep in mind the premise. Obama is the most tech savvy leader of this country. And Obama is a worshiper of global warming while Bush was not.

I Thought The Science Of Global Warming Was Settled

The global warming fanatics and Gorebots all say that man made global warming is an absolute certainty and that the science is settled. Al Gore refuses to debate the issue mostly because he is a charlatan and would get his lunch handed to him in a real debate, so he just says the science is settled. I have always said that I do not believe in man made global warming and that warming and cooling cycles on the Earth have occurred for a very long time, long before man was here, and that they would continue. I also believe that it is related to sunspot activity.

However, I also said that we should certainly do research on the issue. I don’t believe the science is settled but believe we should look into it and see if there is a link to man (one big enough to make a difference). I don’t think we should spend a fortune on something that is unproven.

No matter what I say to the global warmers I hear that the science is settled and that ALL scientists agree. Well, maybe there are a few who don’t but all the cool ones do. Then how do we explain this:

“But if we don’t understand what is natural, I don’t think we can say much about what the humans are doing. So our interest is to understand — first the natural variability of climate — and then take it from there. So we were very excited when we realized a lot of changes in the past century from warmer to cooler and then back to warmer were all natural,” Tsonis said. WISN [emphasis mine]

Now here we have a group of scientists who have conducted experiments and concluded that the changes over the past century were natural. How does that square up with the global warming scammers and their claim that it is all man made and that it is getting worse? How does this square up with the “all scientists agree and the science is settled?”

I guess these guys did not get the memo…

My Global Warming Carbon Offset Plan

Global warming is an issue that creates mass hysteria among those of the left as they parade around slavishly following Al Gore and his over hyped PowerPoint show of black magic, lies, and distortions. The people who advocate for man to do something, anything, to stop the onslaught of catastrophe that will ensue unless we spend money we do not have on items that have yet to be invented, have yet to be demonstrated as effective and are based on something that is a theory are clueless. They insist that we must act because the science is settled and every scientist in the world worth anything has signed on board the Gore express.

The inconvenient truth is that as many scientists disagree with the idea of man made global warming as agree with it and the science is definitely not settled. Lest we forget, these reputable scientists were warning of an approaching ICE AGE only 35 or so years ago. Never mind that it has been colder lately and that we are not actually warming up (though this is strangely blamed on global warming) and never mind that it all seems to coincide with sunspot activity. The major issue with these folks is that Carbon Dioxide is dangerous. They call it a greenhouse gas and blame it for most of the problems. In the late 60s and early 70s it was CFCs used in aerosol cans as a propellant. That stuff was banned so now those who want to control your lives need a new villain. CO2 is the villain because it can never be eliminated and they won’t have to look for a new one in the future like they did after CFCs were banned.

CO2 is necessary for life to exist. It is the waste gas expired after Oxygen is processed in the body. Amazingly, there is a system on the planet that uses it and makes Oxygen. Plants use CO2 and return O2 for us to breathe and we do the opposite for them. It is amazing the way that this works. It is almost like a higher being designed it all or something…

In any event, the global warming zealots are looking to put into place these cap and trade schemes as well as others to charge us more money and to try to end this scourge of global warming. King Hussein of America is now looking to do it. They are all spending money we don’t have to end something that is not a problem all in the name of control.

The global warming hoax will make a handful of people very rich and will condemn us to poverty for a very long time. It will enslave us to government even more than we are now and when added to the trillion dollar deficits King Hussein is racking up (he has tripled a debt in one month) the recession will be turned into a depression.

But what about your offset plan Big Dog?

CO2 is a necessary gas but liberals want to eliminate it. Some of them have this idea about buying a carbon offset (a fancy way for them to make money for nothing) so my offset program involves all the liberals signing up for my program. Their names will be randomly selected to help allow those guilty of “polluting” with CO2 to alleviate that guilt. Here is how it works:

People who produce CO2 will send me money to purchase carbon offsets. I will randomly select a liberal from the list of those who want to help the environment (and all good libs want that, right). Then, they will be sent to the Final Exit Network where their carbon output will end. This will be a great offset program that allows libs to sacrifice for the cause and allow the rest of us to live how we want without a lot of problems.

But mostly, it will help me get rich through the sale of the offsets.

This is no more ridiculous than any of the other scams out there and mine actually helps decrease the surplus liberal population.
