Waiting to Exhale

According to the EPA, carbon dioxide is now a pollutant. I'm waiting for the agricultural society to sue on this one since plants everywhere will be starved if the EPA succeeds in regulating their food supply. Seriously, though, this has been coming. It is one of those things that slips by unnoticed by the populace at large.

For many, the goofy halogen light bulbs seemed to be a lower energy bulb that would just last longer, another product in a country of choices. Most don't know that the prices didn't magically come down on those bulbs, but rather were subsidized by our tax dollars to create the illusion that they're cost effective. Many don't know those bulbs need to be disposed of by a HAZMAT team. Many believe global warming is occurring, and that all these little things we can do to 'go green' will prevent some catastrophe from happening in the future. Most people don't get bogged down by asking themselves the obvious question of why the winters seem colder lately, or why the seasons continue year after year with no dramatic change. They don't stop to think why folks who are unable to give a reliable 7-day forecast think they'll be better at 100 or 1,000 year forecasts. They simply accept what the men in the white coats (for they certainly are not scientists) tell them is happening.

So, while people slumber to the noise on TV, radio and the millions of sources of propaganda and entertainment sources, a silent coup has been stealing ground. In the same manner that we surrendered our religious freedom in our public life and let the ludicrous idea that if someone is uncomfortable with the Ten Commandments they must be unconstitutional, we've allowed ourselves to be brainwashed with the implausible notion that we're going to heat up the planet and extinct ourselves. Just the idea of that is so silly. It would be akin to strangling yourself. If, indeed, we could heat up the planet by the number of people using cars, as they died, there would be less of the greenhouse gasses and the temperature would logically decline, right? I can speculate on this since, to enter the Global Warming debate you don't need a degree of any kind. Of course, I'm not truly allowed into the debate since, for one, it is over, according to Al Gore, and two, I have something the Global Warming advocates hate: common sense.

With society so fully accepting of the ideas of a future catastrophe that we can neither detect or predict through any semblance of real, observable science, those who drive this movement of power have declared that our exhale is bad and must be regulated. Let's just think for a moment how that might be regulated. Will we be required to hold our breath? No, more than likely a national system of letting the elderly die will be implemented (something that will go hand in hand with the health care rationing that will come with the government health care). Abortion will play into this as well. In the name of saving the planet the government will dictate first that child tax credits will be cut off for more than two children. Free abortions will be available for those on Welfare. Then, forced abortions for anyone wanting to have more than two children, followed by a reduction to one child.

I might be wrong about the Welfare recipients. The people who look for power want dependent children raised in the slums they create. Those are future voters. They will more than likely deem children of middle-class families a threat and force them down to two or one.

Many might see this blog as extremist, but it is coming. They've outlawed breathing. The only way to regulate is reduce the number of people breaking the law.

Obama's Folly

Governor Bobby Jindal faced a daunting task in responding to the folly of President Barak Obama. How can someone respond to a rookie who steps up and makes excuses for himself by looking back and being snarky at a man who filled the office for eight years and kept America safe from another terror attack and presided over a booming economy seven of those eight years. At the very least Obama was disingenuous about the deficit he "inherited." He took over a budget defecit and quadupled it in his first two months of office. He took our national deficit from 1.5 trillion to over 2 trillion in as little time. And he promises more.

It is also hard to argue with someone who proclaims the "ravages of climate change" as if it is some well-defined, terrible thing. This from the president who wants to bring "science" back to government. Aparently, in an effort to do that he forgot to bring common sense or logic. As Mr. Jindal pointed out, the "stimulus package" included 140 million for volcano observation.

Dutifully, the main stream media came to Obama's defense, outlining how "scientific" Obama is in wanting this funding, which, of course, the likes of Sarah Palin or George W. Bush would simply deride. They note in their spirited defense that such research would save lives and costs due to catastrophic volcano eruptions. Aparently, the thought of Mt. St. Helen's eruption in the 1980s looms as a graver concern to President Obama than the risk of terrorist being released from Guantanamo Bay and attacking us again. The reporters note that America is third in the number of active volcanoes in the world, with most active ones on an island in Hawaii, not in some populated city. So, as I understand it, President Obama is smarter for spending this critical money to stimulate the economy on a preemptive strike against the next volcanic eruption on U.S. soil. I'm sure that 140 million of debt couldn't possibly have been spent more efficiently by the private sector.

President Obama may be ambitious to cure cancer and eliminate trade with Canada, but he will be judged not on his spin, but on how well his pork plays in the market. So far it doesn't look like it will work too well.
