Van Jones, who was fired almost immediately after Obama appointed him “White House Council on Environmental Quality” for his prevalent communist sympathies, previous statements made in strong support of 9/11 conspiracies, and vulgar behavior was more than likely referring to the sinking ship of American Capitalism in the wasn’t-socialist-enough vein.

What’s so ironic is that not only is the NAACP so ready and willing to throw support to an individual whose comments when asked why Republicans seemed to be able to muster more bipartisan support while in control than Democrats included “they[Republicans]‘re assholes.”

In case you just need to see this for yourself, here’s the video:

What’s not Ironic is that Van Jones is still willing to support Obama even after Obama threw him under the bus.  In his answer to this same question he continues to say:

“As a technical, political kind of term. And Barack Obama is not an asshole. Now, I will say this: I can be an asshole, and some of us who are not Barack Hussein Obama, are going to have to start getting a little bit uppity.”

The communist sympathies in Van Jones still believe that Obama is the best chance for socialism in the U.S.

It doesn’t matter though what was in Van Jones’ mind as he made the comment, because you and I and everyone else who heard it will still understand it as yet another stab at Bush, and the bad economy he supposedly left Barack Obama to inherit.

Now, I’m not saying that the recession didn’t start during Bush’s term, but I am calling BS on President Obama’s insistent refusal to accept responsibility for TARP and the first bailout.  The senate had to author and vote on that legislation before it was ever voted into law and given to Bush to sign, and I certainly don’t remember Obama doing anything then to stop it, unless you consider a yes vote and taking time out of a campaign to help push it through staunch opposition.

I further recall Obama’s support of Ben Bernanke, the unheralded root of so many of the problems both with the mortgage crisis and the extremely poor bailout decisions.  Sure Ben inherited artificially deflated interest rated from Greenspan, who had justified lowering them to offset the 2000 tech bubble burst (that’s right, our recession today humorously is the offset of the recession that appeared under Clinton), but that didn’t force him to hike the rates up to ‘normal levels’ overnight, throwing the mortgage sector into crisis.  Nor is there a ‘normal level,’ any rate determined by one individual instead of by natural forces is inherently artificial.

We all remember what happened with the mortgages.  Households who could afford a $500 monthly mortgage payment couldn’t afford a $1000 or greater monthly payment, and a debt and foreclosure bomb was upon us.  But somehow, it was Bush’s fault that individuals had refinanced with lower interest rates.

Van Jones was right, Obama is steering the titanic.  In real life, the Titanic didn’t sink right away, it had a few last hurrahs to give before it tipped and slid to the bottom of the ocean.  The economy will recover and America will prosper left to itself, but the repeated bailouts and huge debt that Obama has steered us into is an iceberg ready to sink our ship.

Every few days another storm barges through the region piling onto the record total snowfall and reminding everyone that global warming makes the world colder, and wetter.  Luckily, the EPA and the Global Summit on Climate Change haven’t been successful in banning that hot fire, so I can still warm my hands and feet after I finish shoveling, but I remain apprehensive with the knowledge that my fire is making the world warmer and thus colder: a deadly paradox that leads to more fires, more heat, more warming, and of course more cold winter nights.

I will persist in naming the latest exercise in fear mongering to steal our freedom global warming: climate change just doesn’t exude the same level of stupidity and exists as part of a gradual tactical transition to brainwash the public into believing that any change is bad change.  Our world is defined by change.  At times in our past the Earth has been tens to hundreds of degrees warmer than now, even our precious ice caps and the Arctic Ocean used to be alive with green flora and fauna.  At other times our world has been locked in ice, terraforming entire continents.

But as you struggle to keep warm this winter and to heat your house without emptying your wallet for your energy bill, at least let your mind be eased by this: if you use a wood pellet stove, you are saving the world from global warming.  You heard me right.

It’s no small surprise that burning wood pellets constitutes green heat, or that congress gave a $1500 tax credit on new wood pellet stoves, but the argument is that burning wood pellets is more energy efficient and releases less carbon dioxide than simply letting old forests die and rot, or in many cases become fuel for massive forest fires.  What co2 is released is also offset by new forest growth, which unlike old forests sucks in far more co2 than it lets off.

Wait, old forests are bad for the environment?  So bad its better to grind them up and burn them to heat our homes?  That would imply that the national park service is one dirty polluter, anything but environmentally friendly, and a large contributing cause to global warming: just saying.

Honestly, this has been more than just a winter to remember. Over the past year precipitation rates have consistently set huge monthly and seasonal records here in the D.C. area.  The past year alone has wiped out the effects of decades of drought: our water table was replenished by mid summer, and we’ve been soaking in the extra ever since.  If this is the result of global warming, everyone should be thankful it’s happening.  But please, stop and think: colder winters, cooler summers, greater snowfall, greater rainfall, global warming.  It just doesn’t all add up, does it?

At the same place the American Revolution began over 200 years ago, a political revolution began this month.  In liberal Massachusetts, Americans who believe in capitalism and free enterprise have rebuffed the far-reaching arm of the federal government and the socialist agenda proposed by the current administration.

Just as they did over 200 years ago, Massachusetts’s citizens said “no” to tyrannical rule.  They are rejecting the radicals, leftists and liberals who are trying to control our lives.

Like most Americans, voters in Massachusetts are tired of the bailouts, the high taxes, the company takeovers, the bribes, the backroom deals, the payoffs and the nationalization of everything from the student loan program to health care.

Also, Americans do not appreciate other Americans going around the globe denouncing or criticizing our country.  We also don’t feel like we have to bow or apologize to any other country.

Let’s define a few ideologies before we continue because it seems many of the Left do not understand Socialism and Statism that have promoted their progressive agenda throughout history.  Here they are according to Webster:

Socialism: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

Examples of socialism are: government ownership.  Government administration.  Promoting the collective over individual liberties.  Spreading the wealth.  Sound familiar?

Statism: concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry.

Examples are: Stimulus.  Pork projects.  Burdensome regulations.  Surrendering local authority to the federal government.   These are commonplace in our federal government today.

Capitalism: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

Free markets.  Competition.  Private or corporate ownership.  Investments.  These are the ideas upon which America was founded.

If we build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to our door.   We don’t want the mousetrap taxed to death, our mousetrap company bailed out or the government taking it over to run it in the ground.

We want to be left along to use our talents God gave us and take advantage of the opportunities given to us by Capitalism and the free markets.

The dictionary also states that in Marxist theory, Socialism is:  a transitional social state between the overthrow of Capitalism and the realization of Communism.  Scary stuff.

But one of the harmful ideologies that we are dealing with in America today is Progressivism.  Whose your daddy?  To Progressives, it means the federal government.  To John Edwards, it has another meaning.

Progressives are made up of both Democrats and Republicans.  Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were all Progressives and all believed in an immense federal government.  The federal government creates no wealth, it only takes from producers to give to others and whatever the federal government gives, it can take away.

Americans are angry and they should be.  We see our freedoms eroding daily.  We see terrorists like the panty-bomber given Miranda rights, which are reserved for the protection of U.S. citizens. We see terrorists brought to our shores as we spend millions on them to provide lawyers and a platform to spew their hatred and vitriol.

In the Massachusetts election, President Obama insulted all of us who have owned or driven a pick-up truck.  Days later, he had to use a teleprompter to speak to a group of 7-yr. olds in their classroom at school.  The kids should have been insulted too.

America has awakened and rejected the “change.”  We now know that change was nothing more than a euphemism for big government.  In one year, this administration and Congress has tripled the federal deficit – that’s change you can believe in.

Hopefully, the political revolution will take us back to our roots and back to Capitalism. Time is running out and we must contact our representatives in Washington and let them know what we think.

Progressives have never had the window of opportunity to enact their Socialist agenda like they’ve had during the past year.  I think I just heard that window shut.  It sounded like the shot heard ‘round the world.

State of Delusion
Barack Obama
27 January 2010

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Tonight, I am going to address, the issues, before this great nation. Now let me be clear. I will only talk, in stilted, comma infused, English. I will never, get to a point, without contradicting myself, somehow. I will not, allow, the television camera, to highlight my prolific addiction, to myself, and the mirrors of my teleprompters. Nor will I ever, admit, that I never utter sentences, unless I can somehow manipulate the meaning into an oxymoron.

Tonight, I will begin by talking about my administration’s extreme dedication to cutting wasteful spending, and reducing, our nation’s debt. Let me start, by saying that it’s not my fault. I don’t have supreme power to fix all of your problems. But I will fix this, because I will never let America be second. I will not wait, Not when China, North Korea, Russia, and Germany are not waiting, but modernizing their economies, and bringing hope to their people.

I will state scary facts, until you are forced, to believe, whatever outrageous statement I make next is divine fruit given to you from heaven. I will prolifically start my sentences with I, because I only give myself credit. I will remind you that I am not part of Washington, I will hope, that my mesmerizing words, will cause you to forget that I am Washington’s, ringleader.

Tonight, I will claim, that trillions of dollars we didn’t have that was spent in the first year of my administration, was forced to be spent, by Bush. And tonight, I can’t help but blame him, for Washington’s failure. Now, I want to clear some things up.

I support universal health-care because I listen to the tears of the millions of Americans, even those with health-care, who are an illness away from financial disaster, and I care. I will pretend. I will pretend that I am ignorant that these uninsured Americans have iPhones, iPods, extra cars, large screen high-def TVs, expensive vacations, and starting today, an iPad. I will ignore that little Max, who might be diagnosed with cancer tomorrow and not live another day, was given a Nintendo Wii, DS, and XBOX360 for Christmas to go with the new games and new TV you bought him for his birthday a week ago, when you could have taken him to a doctor or bought health insurance.

I will lie and declare that I support health-care because it would save Americans a trillion dollars, just because it sounds cool to shout huge savings when I know I’ll just be taxing you extra and raising your rates. I will claim that I will continue to fight for transparency in government and an end to lobbyist control, even as I surround myself with lobbyists, and close the doors on the health-care debate. I will also claim that I will send back any health-care bill not up to my standards, even though this one is true. I would. I just don’t have any standards.

And finally, Tonight I will reprimand the supreme court for bringing fairness and equity to the election cycle by making blatantly untrue and loaded statements about their ruling. I will ignore that before, Unions and Media Organizations had a monopoly on campaign advertising in the weeks before an election, and that now their dollars and control can be balanced.

Thank you, and goodnight. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and pretend like we work.

In today’s world of online marketing and email newsletters, companies put more on the line than ever before.  Allowing advertisers to send ’special alerts’ to your E-list too often and your list becomes worthless as members simply delegate all of your messages to their spam.

The quality of the advertising itself is also an issue, especially when you put your own brand name at the top of the email.  Online corporations that market other online corporations without regard to the advertisement’s authenticity or quality but only the whether the check clears the bank run a high risk of their own brand image becoming suspect.

Newsmax is a prime example of a company that makes both of these mistakes.

Newsmax not only uses their email list to send an annoyingly large number of advertisements to their subscribers daily under the guise of ‘Newsmax Specials’ or ‘Alerts,’ they seem to not care to screen their advertisements for quality at all.  Sure, at the end of the day it is the advertiser’s responsibility to make sure that their ads aren’t fraudulent, but Newsmax practically stakes their entire reputation on these ads without double checking them.

About a week ago Newsmax sent me an advertisement featuring energy analyst John Myers and his latest recommendation, Tamm Oil and Gas (TAMO).  Who John Myers is and whether or not he is an Energy Analyst I don’t know, but at the very least his analytical skills are of dubious quality.  It took me less than thirty seconds to decide that the email was a ploy to make the advertiser some quick dough, and just a few minutes (thanks to the very helpful tools at MSN Money Central) to reassure myself that I wasn’t missing out on the deal of a lifetime.

TAMO formed out of Hola Communications (not sure how the industries relate, but it seems their then new CEO was a Canadian Energy speculator), and owns a large selection of Oil Sands in Canada.  The first red flag? Oil Sands are only profitable if Oil prices go way up and stay there, a possibility as China’s oil appetite grows but not a done deal.  TAMO’s oil sands are undeveloped, but according to their website they are currently in the process of test drilling and getting ready to move dirt.  On their latest SEC filing TAMO claimed about $10k cash (no real change from the third quarter, or for that matter any quarter they’ve filed) with no outstanding debts.  Now I’m not an Oil Sands engineer, but it seems to me that a company doing oil sands explorations and testing is going to have heavy operating costs, so no debt and no cash: second red flag.

One possibility is that TAMO’s costs are low because they own their own exploration, drilling, and testing equipment.  However, also according to their latest SEC filing the company’s total hard assets (equipment, furniture, computers, etc) amounts to a whopping total less than $400: third red flag.

And for a last note about their finances, TAMO declares the value of their Oil Sands properties as ‘unevaluated,’ but they had no problem increasing their properties’ estimated worth from $4million to nearly $17million: fourth red flag.

With all the above in mind, it was no surprise to read the very fine print at the bottom conveniently difficult to read that said:

“this paid advertising issue of John Myers (hereafter “MYERS”) does not puport to provide an analysis of any company’s financial position or prospects and is not to be construed as a recommendation by MYERS and is not in any wat to be construed as an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Tamm Oil & Gas Corp. (hereafter “Tamm”), the company featured in this report, appears as paid advertising in an effort to increase industry and investor awareness.”

I’m not surprised that I received a spam email purporting to guide my wallet to riches, but I am concerned for Newsmax’s sake that they risk their reputation as a Conservative news organization of decent repute by allowing their advertisers to peddle horrible financial advice under their banner.

Are you still at the North Pole?  Are you floating on a piece of ice with all of the polar bears because of global warming?  How is Mrs. Claus?  Is she a good swimmer?

I’ve been a good boy all year.  I live in Tennessee and I watch the news on TV all the time.

I’ve been told not to use the word “Christmas” any more because I might offend someone, so for this “holiday,” all I want is a copy of the U.S. Constitution.  Is there still a U.S. Constitution, Santa?

You see Santa, when I watch those people in Washington, D.C., I don’t think they have a copy of the Constitution and I want to make copies and give it to all of them.  If they read it, they wouldn’t spend all of our money and vote for things that we don’t want.

They give away more free stuff too than you do Santa.  But, someone told me that all my friends and me would have to pay for all the free stuff they give away to those who won’t work.  I only have two dollars.

I know you and the elves work hard all year.  Maybe, all of you should sign up on welfare and you wouldn’t have to work anymore either.

But, I don’t know who would deliver the presents if you did that.  Could Congress start another government program for that too?

I heard someone ask Congressman Clyburn on TV where healthcare was in the Constitution and he said,  “Well, it’s not in the Constitution. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the Federal Government has got anything to do with most of the stuff we do.”

On second thought, I don’t know if giving out copies of the Constitution is a good idea or not.  I think some of them have read it, but just don’t care.  Maybe, you should bring me a puppy instead.

Signed……a little Tennessee boy……..

P.S.  I will leave a granola bar and skim milk for you because my president says you are too fat and are exhaling too much carbon dioxide.  Also, the reindeer are emitting too many greenhouse gases, so please start driving a hybrid.

Dear little Tennessee boy,

Ho, Ho, Ho!  Yes, Tennessee, there is a Constitution.  You just don’t understand how things work in Washington.

I bring gifts the elves work to produce each year.  They call that capitalism.  You see, there are many in Washington right now that don’t like capitalism.

Those folks are the ones who want to take money from your mommy and daddy who work and give it to people who don’t work and third-world countries with dictators.  Your president calls it “spreading the wealth,” but here at the North Pole, we call it socialism.

Those people in Washington want to act like Santa and give stuff away, but they don’t have anything to give away, so they have to take it from your mommy and daddy.  Then, they use that money to buy gifts for people so they can get re-elected.  Ho, Ho, Ho.

That’s why it is so hard for your mommy and daddy to make ends meet.   They have to pay taxes, so the people in Washington can spend it on bailouts, stimulus, welfare, healthcare, global warming and things that are not in the Constitution.  If they got to keep more of their money, they could give more to help those who are really in need.

Those people in Washington take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.  If they had read it, they would know that their job is to provide for national defense and infrastructure that citizens cannot provide for themselves.

But, in reality, little Tennessee, most of those in Washington just want to get re-elected.  They don’t really care about the people or they wouldn’t take $500 billion out of Medicare that helps the elderly.

Those people in Washington also talk about all the jobs they have “created” and “saved,” but we both know there is only one Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ.  He is the reason we have Christmas and you can still say Christmas (for now).

So, little Tennessee, I don’t really think it will do any good to give them a Constitution.  I don’t think they would like it as a present.  I don’t even think that a lot of them like America.

So, what kind of puppy would you like?

Merry Christmas and Happy Climategate,

Santa

The American civil war was a crisis that brewed under the surface for decades before, as was the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.  Often, society doesn’t speak up until it feels it has to: the bullied against a wall syndrome.  Government constricts individual rights more and more until finally citizens find they have had enough and revolt, either at the ballot box or in the streets.

Nearly every situation has a defining moment: an event that begins a cascade of emotion.  Every event has a leader, or a conspirator, or a hero, or a villain, or all of the above.  Rick Santelli’s January “rant” on CNBC was a defining moment.  Joe Wilson shouting “you lie!” was another.  Most recently ClimateGate, the scandal involving leaked emails showing falsified climate change data and attempted cover-ups, was such a moment.

Resentment has been brooding under the surface for decades now.  As more and more legislation restricts or threatens individual rights under the guise of preventing human-caused environmental damage and catastrophic climate change, Americans and individuals around the world have felt bullied, pushed against a wall, and shoved aside in the name of preventing a faceless fear.  Eventually many spoke up, criticizing the poor science, ludicrous hypotheses, and ‘end of the earth’ fear being driven into our lives by hypocrites, liars, and fear-mongers.

True to form, these ‘nay-sayers’ were dismissed as ‘crazy’ ‘unintelligent’ ’skeptics’ in ‘denial’ of the ‘blatant truth.’  How inconvenient though the real truth is.  This moment just got them at their own game, revealed all their true colors, and squashed their ability to leverage ‘don’t you care about the earth’ power over Washington, London, Canberra, Copenhagen, and everywhere else worldwide.

So here is a toast to great moments in the history of mankind: let all the lies employed to control us be dispelled, let all the fear tactics be dispersed, and let all the bullshit be revealed.

The prevailing deception behind TBTF is that the wealth, resources, and jobs from companies that bust are gone.  To the contrary, big companies failing is exactly the medicine the market needs to grow.

Take for instance the dot-com bust in 2001.  Sure, the U.S. entered a recession.  No, TBTF companies weren’t on the brink of bankruptcy, but hundreds of over-priced internet start-ups were.  The effects of their collapse rippled through the market and Internet Service Providers who had spent hundreds of millions creating a fiber-optic grid around the world suddenly found their money pool drying up.  Unlike mortgage lenders who received a bailout when the housing market collapsed, Internet Service Providers entered bankruptcy.

But even though the major owners of the infrastructure that supported and made possible the modern era of information and communication were gone, the infrastructure itself remained. Bankruptcy opened the door to a quick recovery and a far more stable surge in internet growth.  Venture Capitalists wised up and spent more time researching start-ups, stock traders didn’t gamble as much hoping each new start-up would turn them into millionaires, and more importantly, the companies who entered bankruptcy paved the way for cheap internet.  Laying fiber optics not just nationwide but worldwide in less than a decade was no small feat, nor a small investment.  As ISPs dropped like flies creditors were left with fiber optic networks on their hands that they had little use for, and they sold them to recover their investment at pennies on the dollar.  With almost unlimited bandwidth available (limited only by your dial-up modem and the phone line into your house), companies who bought up the bankrupt networks were able to quickly offer low cost internet because of their drastically reduced sub-costs.

Al Gore didn’t invent the internet, recession did.  The infrastructure didn’t disappear, it just changed hands.  Sure a few jobs were lost, many large fortunes lost, but that was a small price for the economy to pay towards the growth in jobs and wealth that followed.  The important lesson to learn is that letting big companies fail will be better for the economy in the long term than any short term fix is worth.  The trillions Washington has committed to spending or already spent simply aren’t worth it, we shouldn’t reward mediocrity.

Earlier in his administration on Nov. 28, 1861, Lincoln had ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving.  After that, there became an increasing interest to have Thanksgiving the same day in all the states.

Our country was in the midst of a civil war in 1863, therefore, Lincoln’s Proclamation of Thanksgiving contained many references to the ongoing strife of the war.  Based on the Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, following is a condensed version of the proclamation:

The year that is drawing towards its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget…the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.

In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity…the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict.  Even with needful diversions…to the national defense, we have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore.  The axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements and population has steadily increased.

No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy.

I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens…and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.

By the President: Abraham Lincoln and written by

Secretary of State William Seward.

If Lincoln were alive today, I believe his proclamation would read more like this:

The year that is drawing toward its close is filled with empty promises of more entitlements under the guise of “health care reform,” “stimulus” and “clean energy” further increasing dependence and expanding a voting bloc who looks to the government for their every need.  We pray the time will come when our politicians agonize more over the next generation than the next election.

Even though we are the strongest military power in the world, political correctness will no longer allow us to identify and bring our enemies to justice.  We have eliminated the word “victory” in reference to military campaigns against terrorists who wish to destroy our country.  We now give rights granted under our Constitution, solely reserved for our citizens, to those terrorists.

While we still enjoy economic stability and prosperity, there are those who wish to curb it with new taxes and programs for those who do not want reap the rewards of their labor, yet desire goods and services paid for by the sweat of others.

Aircraft, ships and vehicles have enlarged our borders and our population has increased.  While we welcome those from foreign lands with open arms who come here legally, we have failed to secure our borders from those who wish to do us harm.

Nevertheless, due to the Divine Providence of an almighty God, we have been exceedingly blessed as a nation.  Although attacks from our enemies outside our borders have put us on the defense, we realize our most dangerous enemy is the one within the confines of our sovereign nation.

Only Divine intervention will curtail those who wish to use our right of free speech to indoctrinate our children with socialism and Marxism at movie theaters and various schools throughout our nation.  Our Heavenly Father has been merciful to us, but those who hate our country now have such a powerful influence on our children that only He can demonstrate what must be done to reconcile ourselves to His will.

I hereby invite my fellow citizens all across our God-given land to join with me on the 4^th Thursday of November to observe a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to the Most High God from whom all blessings flow and implore Him to help us heal our wounds by bringing us together so that we may once again become the United States of America.

Are these headlines from the ice age that killed off the dinosaurs?  No, they are headlines from around the U.S. – this October.   They are headlines that are hard to find in the state-run media because those headlines don’t support the “global warming” agenda of the Left.

Records are being broken all over the world and I’m not talking about Disco or Air Supply – I’m talking about record cold temperatures.  Last year, snow fell on Baghdad for the first time in anyone’s memory.

The earth’s average temperature only has risen 1.3 degrees over the past 100 years and has been dropping for the past 10 years.  The environmental leftist groups say that is due to global warming.

So, it’s global warming if it’s too hot and it’s global warming if it’s too cold.   Maybe, they will come up with a new expression like “climate change.”

Many scientists recognize that any global warming is neither man-made nor urgent.

Al Gore’s net worth went from $2 million to $50 million since he left the White House by making movies of polar bears floating adrift on a small piece of ice and telling us of rising temperatures and oceans.

However, hurricane activity has dropped and temperatures are colder.  Maybe, Gore should win the Nobel Peace Prize for Propaganda. Or, be appointed Propaganda Czar!

At a recent global warming conference, he refused to answer questions about inaccuracies of his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, to the filmmaker, Phelim McAleer.  They cut off McAleer’s microphone and all Al Gore could do was mockingly ask him about Polar Bears dying.

By the way, Al, the Artic pack ice has grown over 25% in the last two years and the polar bear population has increased over the past 30 years.  In reality, the polar bear should grab a Coke and chill out.  On the other hand, the earth really does have a temperature – it’s cold.

Our own Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) noted Gore is personally invested as a partner in the firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, which may benefit from the climate bill.  You’re right, Al, the debate is over – you know how to make money using scare tactics.

Earlier this year in March, one of the largest global warming public protests ever in the U.S. was in a massive Washington, D.C. snowstorm.  Protestors stood shivering in the cold with their gloves and hats on while holding their Green Jobs and Stop Coal signs.

Last year in October, snow blanketed London as the House of Commons debated global warming.  It was their first October snow since 1922.

While we are debating healthcare reform, lurking in the Congress is an $845 billion Cap-and-Trade tax bill.  The U.S. Energy Information Administration economic models predict the cost would approach $7,000 per household per year!

In an interview last year with the San Francisco Chronicle, Obama acknowledged under his cap-and-trade proposal, “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”  He was right.

Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) said of the Cap-and-Trade tax bill, “One estimate is that it will raise electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation, and boost gasoline prices 74 percent and natural gas prices 55 percent.”

The Congressional Budget Office also warned Congress that the Climate Bill would also cost jobs.  Has Congress completely lost their minds?

If the government spending more money would create more jobs, why haven’t we been doing that for the last 200-plus years?  It was just announced that the federal deficit would triple in 2009, yet the unemployment rate continues to climb.

As Reagan said in his 1981 inaugural speech, “In our present crisis, government is not the solution, government is the problem.”  It still holds true.

You know where I’d like to put my carbon footprint – right on the behind of the United Nations Climate Change Convention.  The United Nations is the only group that will benefit from our tax dollars being spent on this global warming hoax.

Al Gore will go down in the annals of time with Chicken Little and the Boy Who Cried Wolf.  Man up, Al.  Put your global warming toys in your lock box.  It may be inconvenient, but it is the truth.
