Poor Republican

Barack Obama is truly king of Bizarro World.  Obama does the opposite of everything he claims to be doing, and everyone thinks it’s just dandy.

He rants about corporate jets and wasting tax dollars, then takes 500 people to Europe.  Anyone know if they’re flying coach?

He rants about the $1 trillion deficit he “inherited,” then promptly spends that much in one signing ceremony.  Then for good measure, sends a budget proposal to Congress that is many times worse.

In a related note, he promises the end of the era of “borrow and spend,” then proposes massive deficit budgets while his Secretary of State is begging China to finance it by buying more of our debt.

He promises an end to Iraq as soon as he takes office, then swears we’ll be out in almost a year and a half.  Except for the 50,000 that will stay in a “non-combat” role.  That should lend confidence to those troops, who will obviously be immune to IEDs, mortar rounds, and snipers’ bullets.  Not to mention how well equipped they’ll be after he cuts the defense budget.

He claims he’s not for big government, but then proposes the federal government takeover of every aspect of life, from health to electricity to education to jobs.

He claims he’s not interested in running private companies, then he tells them what they’re allowed to pay their employees and even fires a CEO without notice to the shareholders or even Congress.  And now there is legislation to allow tax cheat Tim to decide the pay and compensation of every employee of every company that has ANY federal money at all.  Good thing Obama doesn’t want to run companies, huh?  He’ll veto that legislation, right?

He claims to have the strictest ethics of any administration, but half his nominees have failed to pay their taxes or have other ethical or legal issues.  And he just pushes them on through.

Obama promised no lobbyists in his administration, then promptly hired lobbyist after lobbyist.

It must be awfully nice to literally say one thing and then do the exact opposite the second you leave the microphone.

Maybe it’s Obama’s teleprompter.  Obama actually means to do these things, but the teleprompter is making him say the opposite?

The official White House motto should be, “I’ll say what I want you to hear, do whatever I want instead, and you’ll bend over and enjoy it.”

Thanks to his lapdogs in the media and the sheep who continue to deny factual reality, unfortunately, Comrade Obama is mostly right.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, long an advocate of “alternative” energy, wants to ban the production of wind and solar power from the place most likely to produce it, the desert.

From The Los Angeles Times:

“In a move that could pit usual allies — environmentalists and the solar and wind industries — against each other, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is preparing legislation that would permanently put hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land off limits to energy projects.”

This is nothing new to Ms. Feinstein.  In 1994 she pushed through the California Desert Protection Act, which put huge portions of the California desert under the National Park system.  The purpose of this was to preserve the deserts “resources” for future generations by restricting those generations’ access to the desert as much as possible, except for Indians.  Indians have a specific exception which actually requires closure of portions of the desert to anyone not an Indian “to protect the privacy of traditional cultural and religious activities.”

The fun part of this from an observer’s perspective is that it once again pits rabid liberal groups against each other, thus exposing their extreme radicalism.  One need only look at similar issues for a good laugh, such as the unionized oil workers being ignored when it comes to drilling in ANWR.  In fact, not only did the EcoNazis ignore their own union supporters, they also ignored the will of the native people in Alaska (whom they usually champion on every other issue) because those people wanted the drilling too.  It’s kind of like how they quote the Pope when it comes to condemning the war in Iraq, then turn around and call the Pope all sorts of unprintable names because he also speaks out against homosexual marriage, abortion, and condoms in schools.

They’re doing it again.  Comrade Obama can’t shut up about “alternative” energy, but the very best places to put these projects up are always somehow more important as environmental causes.  Hydroelectric dams?  Sorry, hurts the salmon runs.  Wind farms off the Atlantic coast and in mountain passes?  Sorry, hurts birds, and probably migratory birds, which as we all know are the most hard hit of all birds when it comes to anything.  Tidal energy?  Hurts the sea life.  Now we can’t put solar and wind projects up in the DESERT because it’ll hurt the cacti, bugs, snakes, dirt, etc.?

The EcoNazis are so insane about Mother Earth that they will even throw wind and solar under the bus to protect her.  If you heard an EcoNazi ranting away about the harm some new power plant would do to the environment, you would assume coal, oil or even “gasp” nuclear, wouldn’t you?  Not this time.  This time the evil, Earth-destroying polluters would be…wind and solar.

If this doesn’t show you who you are really dealing with, then nothing will.

EcoNazis put “Earth first” and you second, or last, or most likely…..never.

Earth Hour, according to the website, is so “YOU CAN VOTE EARTH BY SWITCHING OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR - EARTH HOUR.”  Oh yeah, and don’t forget that after you turn off all  your power-using gear and lights for an hour, spend the next hour erasing all that you “accomplished” by turning on power-sucking computers all over the world so you can post your pictures and videos on Flickr and YouTube.  That makes loads of sense.

What exactly does it mean, “vote Earth?”  I don’t recall seeing Earth on a ballot.  I’ve never seen a poll asking us whether we would rather vote for Joe Smith or Earth.  It’s nonsense.

First, “Earth” is not a person.  It’s not a sentient being, whose feelings can be hurt if we don’t “vote” for it.

Second, to say “vote (for) Earth” is to imply “and vote against” something else.  Like for instance, people?  Technology?  Modern civilization?  In other words, vote Earth, not yourselves.  Or each other.

These EcoNazis want you to vote to shut down everything humans have fought for over thousands of years of invention, research, and development.  All that electricity, electronics, and transportation have brought us, such as worldwide shipment of food and medicine, life-saving medical care, life-saving sanitation in the form of garbage disposal and collection and flush toilets, all would go away if the EcoNazis had their dreams come true.

They want you to “vote Earth” and vote for conditions that helped along such minor inconveniences as the Black Death and the Spanish Flu.  They already got to “vote Earth” instead of things like DDT and genetically hardened crops that grow well in drought conditions, and so millions of poor Africans (the very people they claim to champion) have died from malaria and hunger that never had to.  How about you “vote Earth” and get in line to be next?

All this in the name of the Earth, which will keep right on orbiting the Sun until long after we’re all gone, whether we migrate away in a few hundred years or blow ourselves to ashes in a nuclear war next week.  It won’t care, because it can’t.  And even if it could, it wouldn’t.  It would shrug us off like fleas and the ecosystems would start over.  Then, just maybe in a few million years, the next group of arrogant, nonsensical liberals could hold another Earth Hour.

For this one, I choose to celebrate all that Man has accomplished.

We will turn on every light in the house.  We will run every appliance we can.  We will turn on every computer, television, radio, dvd player, etc.  If it uses power, we will run it for that hour.

We will celebrate Civilization Hour.

The Obama Kool-Aid drinking EcoNazis want you to party like it’s 1099; we will party like it’s 2009.

Because it is.

Enjoy it.
