Remember back when the US was the LEADER in free thought, independent thinking, free and fair press, open government, and science UNFETTERED by the whims of special interest? The Dems made a go of accusing Bush of ‘stifling science’ over the years; now, of course, any Dem with any ability to think freely (many can’t, as that would mean admitting to themselves the disaster that they have invoked upon our country in electing Obama) can see what REAL control looks like! We now have ‘Czars’– or do we call them Tsars?– unelected friends of Obama who pretend to know more than other people and who get to control huge segments of our economy and society. Obama found out that it is much easier to do things if you just ignore the ‘usual way’– going through Congress, debating issues, looking at science… can you imagine if Bush did half the things that Obama has done in the past few months?
The other thing I find amusing is when an Obamite points out that the Chosen One has done ‘so much’… I point out that Bush could have done some amazing things too, if he spent 3 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! Yes, Bush was ‘bush league’– he worried about the deficit, about destroying the country for our children– little things like that. He didn’t make headway in his own efforts to reform Social Security about 6 years ago because the Democrats said his plans would add an IMMORAL several-hundred billion to the deficit. Remember the complaints of Dems a couple years ago– Bush took the Clinton surplus (which was all imaginary anyway– based on tax receipts during the Nasdaq bubble that burst in the last few months of Clinton’s term— look it up!) and according to Dems ‘squandered’ it, leading to ‘huge’ deficits of 480 billion dollars… Where are they, now that Obama has a first-year deficit of over 3 trillion dollars? Obama himself said a year ago that Bush was handing our children an immoral debt– the deficit was 440 billion that year. Now Obama boasts that he will halve the deficit– to only a couple TRILLION by the end of his term! Wow. It is like letting a guy build a house for ten grand and complaining that it runs a thousand bucks over budget, and then giving the contract to a guy who promises a ten grand home and hands you a bill for over 100 K! Those numbers, and that comparison, are to actual scale.
But this is Global Warming site– now that I’ve scared the Dems away (they don’t watch, read, or hear what they don’t want to agree with) it is just us. 1998 was an important year– that was the last year that the earth warmed. Did you know that? Since 1998 the earth has been cooling. For the first few years, the global warming alarmists said ‘nevermind– it’s a statistical aberration.’ Then after about 6 years they started looking for new ways to measure the temperature of the earth, but to their horror found that it really isn’t warming anywhere! This is big problem for the Dems, because they all were talking pretty confidently for a long time. Now it has been over ten years and even the latest National Geographic has pointed out that the earth is cooling… perhaps because the sun’s activity is returning to the mean as it has done every 20-30 years for centuries. National Geographic tries to minimize the story– it’s own story– by saying that the sun’s effect is minor… but they can’t have it both ways! They can’t say the sun doesn’t matter in a small sentence intended to avoid irritating the pseudo-scientists of the Left, just after several pages documenting a cooling earth and a less-hot sun!
Obama went abroad to ask Europe to dump a trillion dollars into the economy to ‘create jobs’; he was told ‘sorry– we’ve been there and done that, and it doesn’t work’. Obama came back and did it anyway, with only OUR tax money– and promised that because of his massive spending our unemployment would peak at bout 8%. Now it is 10% and climbing and Obama is saying ‘nobody told HIM that it was a bad idea!!’ He is SO lucky that only 20% of Americans read beyond their local newspaper, and only a tenth of those people remember what they read for more than ten minutes.
Yesterday, Congress passed ‘cap and trade’. Watch the stock market fall in the next few months as companies calculate the losses this bill will create, and the job cuts that will be needed to balance their books. And once again, this happens (with Obama making calls all night threatening members of Congress to vote yes– or ELSE) just as the rest of the world has the sense to point to the facts– THE EARTH IS NOT WARMING!
Haven’t you noticed– no scientists talk about Global Warming anymore!! Now it is only the Dems. And to be honest, the cap and trade bill isn’t about carbon, anyway– it is all about control. With this bill, Obama controls ALL of the manufacturing in the country– not just the automakers. As Ben Stein said this morning (I paraphrase), Obama is the most genial man in the White House for decades… and the most power-hungry, controlling, lying leader, perhaps ever. I am afraid. And you all should be afraid.
The earth is not warming. Do some reading– it is amazing how fast that ice grew back– the pieces that fell off over years, growing back ten-fold faster than it melted. The scientists have sheepishly walked away, saying ‘nevermind’. Only the Dems and Obama keep pounding away, using what is left of the pathetic issue to gain more control, more tax dollars, more ‘moral high ground’ (that last one just for laughs).
Don’t be an idiot… read the science, and be the first in your neighborhood to talk about the obvious and get it right. The earth is cooling. Give back your little trophy, Al– and take a sailboat this time so you at least are consistent to your own delusions.
