More Globull Warming

 

I was listening to the radio all day and to Fox news last week and this weekend and they are talking about the global warming. It just amazes me that all of these politicians seem to know better than anybody else about global warning yet they won’t allow ex-vice president Al Gore to speak to anyone. They keep saying that the consensus is in other scientists all over the world that says man is creating global warming. I have never heard about any debate with Al Gore on the subject of global warming yet he is the expert. If Al Gore science is so great and so accurate than why won’t he let anyone debate him? Let Al Gore prove beyond any doubt with a debate on this subject, then let the people decide, not the elite politicians. This administration wants to pass this global warming bill to reduce greenhouse gases when they won’t even look at the science. The consensus is not in there are plenty of scientists somewhere around 700 plus that disagree with Al Gore. The colleges in England that will only let the inconvenient truth movie be played with a rebuttal from someone on the other side. It is then said that there’s over nine obvious lies in the movie. Yet this administration wants to pass the carbon cap and trade tax on the American people. We’re in the worst recession in 50 years and they want to raise our energy costs. It is insane.

With a government takeover of General Motors and many of the bank’s and having a hand in Chrysler’s bankruptcy I believe that the government is going to try and force these two companies to build so called green cars. I don’t believe anyone wants to buy these cars. I don’t believe the American people want these green cars their small they do not get much better mileage then say I have ton pickup and they’re dangerous. When these green cars only get about 35 to 40 MPG and a half ton pickup gets around 30 yet it is safer and more comfortable which one would you want.

I was watching the local news here in Minneapolis yesterday morning and I think there are six or seven accidents around the city in the morning one was fatal and I was just sitting there looking at all of the carnage and the cars that were banged up  and I started thinking. Thank god there was only one fatality it was two cars that hit head on one was an SUV the other was a new small car, what if all of these accidents that are in Minneapolis the people were driving the small green cars. I wonder how many fatalities there would have been than. I was driving west of 94 on Thursday and there was one of these little small green cars the two seater, and it went flying by me I was watching it follow a semi  about 30yds. And behind the semi the draft from a semi was blowing this call over the road I was just wondering what would be like to drive this car that far behind a semi in the winter. I know that I would never buy one of these cars due to the fact their safety rating from the insurance companies is on the bottom of the list.
 
The bottom line is contact your Senators and tell yhem to oppose the Cap and Trade bill that is headed their way.

Acorn and Iran

 

With all that is going on in Iran I wonnder if Acorn was working over there. It seem that the same kind of tactics were used here though nowhere near th violence it still looks the same. When I say that I mean that there were more votes counted than people in certain areas. Minnesota has the same problem with Franken. It just seems that on both sides of the isle the honsty has all but disappeared.

The Arrogant and Elite

 

The U.S. government has left the country. They are all arrogant and elitist. They have no clue to what is going on in this country. Out in California they are more interested in saving fish than giving the farmers in central CA. water to water their crops. The west coast has one of the largest oil and natural gas supplies yet they won’t go get it so their state won’t have to go bankrupt. Now let’s go to the east coast well mainly Washington DC. They are as bad as the west end of the country. Instead of letting companies go bankrupt and re-structure their contracts they keep feeding them money, then after so many billions are on the table they then let them go bankrupt. Now they keep using the term “Global Warming” or “Go Green “so these companies now have to bow to the government and build so called green cars to save the planet. I know I do not want to buy one I like my van and SUV. My vehicles are safer than the hybrids and the get just about the same mileage. I don’t believe people will buy the hybrids, that is unless the government  keeps raising oil prices which intern will raise gas prices and some people will start buying these unsafe not fuel efficient vehicles. I drive a semi for a living, and they want to put emission systems on them, then the fuel mileage goes down so where is the savings. It is insane.

Then this week you have the elitist like Madam Boxer in California when she talks down to a General. A few weeks ago there was a meeting that was discussing guns going across the border to Mexico. Senator Schumer was talking to a border patrol agent and asking him if there were really 2000 guns a day going across the border. The agent answered no maybe 100 or 200. Schumer argued with him and stated that the Brookings Institute, a Washington think tank, said that there were 2000. The arrogant Senators won’t take the word of someone that is working on the border. They would rather believe some anti gunner in Washington that probably does not even know the difference between semi automatic and full automatic.

I don’t know maybe I shouldn’t say anything bad about the politicians. The biggest problem I have is they don’t listen to the people. Liberals especially, like in California about prop 8. They didn’t get there way and they are yelling and screaming like a bunch of school kids (elementary school). If the people that represent us keep pushing this country towards fascism we better vote them out as soon as possible or we may never get the United States of America back to the way the founding fathers wrote in the constitution and bill of rights.

Follow California????

 

Well with all that’s been going on in the financial arena we should just look at California for inspiration. Just look at the entitlements, retirement plans for government workers, the go green environmentalists that save the smelt, the transit system, there is just so much to list.

With the reality of California on the edge of bankruptcy we should look at them. Then run in the opposite direction. I grew up in CA. and it was once prosperous but then in my opinion, the environmentalists started to take hold. Now they are not the whole problem, there is overspending, illegal immigration ECT. I believe that a state that keeps claiming drought but uses fresh water out of reservoirs to save a small fish (smelt) has got a few screws loose. Then you have a state that has some of the biggest oil and natural gas deposits of the coast, way off the coast, but won’t drill have got another screw loose. The drilling would almost instantly, from the economists that I listen to, would balance their budget. Then take care of the illegal immigration problem and the state could be back on track. These solutions except the illegal immigration is blocked or caused by the environmentalist.

In my humble opinion look at what California is doing, and then do the complete opposite.
