Thank You America

Subject: Think about it…

The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say,
“We are at war with you infidels and have been since
the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you
haven’t even recognized it. You have more missiles,
bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the
best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis
about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We will
destroy you! Death to the infidels!
While I am here I would like to thank you for the
following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil
shale and tar sands. we know if you did this, it
would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens,
expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the
wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to
finance our war against you infidels.

Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchases of
oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love
it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over regulating every segment of your
economy and thus delaying, by decades, the
development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in
Alaska, and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or
plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your
people suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have
been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham
program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the
inside with these types of policies. This is a gift
from Allah, praise his name! We never would have
thought of this one! This is better than when you
pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use
more energy to create less energy, and
simultaneously drive up food prices.
Thank you U.S. Congress!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece
you without end. You will be glad to know we have
been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate,
and publicly held companies. We also finance a good
portion of your debt and now manipulate your
markets, currency, and economies for our benefit.

THANK YOU AMERICA!”

(and then, to top it all off, we blame the oil companies for the mess – JL)

(This is not original with me. I got it in an email with no citation. Whoever did it should be congratulated.)

DON’T BLAME THE OIL COMPANIES!!!!!!!!

I put the title in caps because I want you to imagine me yelling it at you. I know some of you have gotten your pantyhose in a wad about the oil companies and their supposed “gouging” of us consumers. I mentioned in another post a few days ago about the environmental groups and their phalanxes of lawyers and lobbyists in Washington. Here is another very good article at JunkScience.com. I have a news flash for those of you that are  down on the oil companies supposed “windfall profits”. THE OIL COMPANIES WILL MAKE A PROFIT WHETHER THE PRICE OF OIL IS $50.00/BBL OR $150.00/BBL!

The name of the game is now and always has been – power. The enviros have been gathering it for years. Their first big conquest was over the Ozone hole (scam). They really began to flex their muscles after that. Then the endangered species act gave them a strong PR lever to pull whenever they wanted to tweak the publics guilt over a (possibly) disappearing species. The fear factor was employed to make people believe that if one species, such as the blind cave spider in central Texas was to disappear that it would be the start of a landslide that would doom all of society as we know it. And we bought into it. Partly because for years that propaganda has been fed to the school kids over and over and over. “We must not do anything to harm the environment” “The environment is holy” “Gaia must be worshipped”. Now all that the greenie-weenies have to do is say the magic phrase, “This is bad for the environment” and all their (now grown up) Manchurian Candidates nod their collective heads and say, “Oh yes, we must not do anything to harm the environment”.

Wake up, people. You’re being scammed again. The greenie-weenies love to hear you rail against the oil companies. They can take that to the bank. It takes the heat off of them. After all, they’re all mom and apple pie and the flag and doin’ it for the kids.

BTW, JunkScience is a good site to stay tuned in to. Steven Milloy has all kind of good stuff on there. He’s a big GW skeptic.

How To Deal With Cell-Phone Text Spam

The NYT (surprise, surprise) has a worthwhile article on dealing with cellphone spam. I haven’t had any myself but, as they say in the article, it’s only a matter of time. After you see who is offering this service it’s not hard to see why Sprint is losing customers.

Multiple Prizes Are Awarded

The Discerning Texan gets the prize. There are so many choice pieces on here that I could not choose. I’ll let you have a go at it. Here they are:

1. UPDATED Finally, the Republicans Grow a Pair on Drilling

(Now all they have to do is convince the Dems to go against all the environmental organization’s lawyers and lobbyists.)

2. Public Opinion: Drill NOW

(When did the Dems ever listen to public opinion?)

3. UPDATED WHO: No AIDS Pandemic for Heterosexuals

(Now you’ve gone and done it. You’ve blown the whistle on both the AIDS scam AND the global warming scam, all in the same article.)

4. Iraqi Sunni Sheik Leader Offers to help fight Osama in Afghanistan

(More heresy. You’re supposed to act like the MSM and keep hushed up now that things are snowballing for the coalition. You might make Bush look like a fairly decent president. That would negate all the work you’ve done for all these years to make him look evil, duplicitous and out-of-touch.)

NOAA – U.S. has 36th coolest spring on record

Well, ah do decleah. What is wrong here. Why don’t these confounded statistics agree with the GW loonies? Could it be because they can’t get hold of them to manipulate them a la the infamous hockey stick temperature graph? The article is here. Thanks to a post from Greenie Watch.

There Are Still Some Good People In the World

Here is a story about some people that are doing something totally unselfish for returning servicemen. You go, Marines. Semper Fi. I sent them a contribution. Maybe you could also. They deserve it.

America’s First Green Recession

Truer words were never spoken. This whole article sums up our silliness precisely. It is wholly disingenuous for the legislators to try and put the blame for our gas price woes on the backs of the oil companies. The reason for it is US! We have been electing the idiots that have us boxed in by regulations and that have seated activist federal judges.

It comes from years of proselytizing and propagandizing in our schools by the environmental nazis. They have convinced the kids (who are now the grown-ups) that the worst thing you can do is harm the earth. As a retired pastor friend of mine puts it, “the ten commandments have been replaced by one – Thou shalt do no harm to the environment”. Now all their Manchurian Candidates respond by being shamed into submission when their handlers proclaim an environmental emergency.

Thanks to China Confidential for this well put piece.

Exposing the Darwinian Paradox

Or, what to say to the members of the church of Darwinian Evolution when they throw up the smokescreen about there being nothing in Mein Kampf about evolution. This is repost of an article in The Christian Post.

Well, WE won’t ignore it.

This article at Newsbusters.org is talking about a press conference at the National Press Club at which will be presented a petition signed by 31,000 scientists. These (real) scientists claim that there is no such thing as global warming or climate change. Horrors! Imagine that.

Read it. Then pass it on. We can make sure it gets some publicity.

AQ-Jihadists Admit Defeat in Iraq

I knew I had to post this article because you will never see it otherwise. Another indication that we have won is that the number of news items on the MSM news shows is down to almost nil. The same thing that happened in Afghanistan when we kicked the Taliban all the way back to Pakistan.

Way to go Marines! Semper Fi.

Attack Of The Killer Cornflakes

Well, talk about flakes. Small Dead Animals has an article about a report that was given to an environmental health conference (I would guess a UN conference. That’s usually where these useless reports are given).

The second part is an amazing admission by an enviro-whacko about the quality of the participants in a debate about global you-know-what.

To All My Friends…

To all my friends: Please read this article at Safehaven and heed what this man is saying. He speaks the truth. What we need to do;

1. Don’t take on any more debt.

2. Call or write your congress-critter and tell them not to support a mortgage bailout.

The people that have been seen crying on TV about how they are about to lose their home are right. They ARE about to lose their home. What you don’t see is that they will have to move from the mansion they live in now to a more downscale dwelling which they should have been satisfied with in the first place. Their timing was bad. They expected home prices to keep going up so they could bundle even more debt into their mortgage but when a bubble bursts someone always is left holding the bag. Suck it up and live with it but don’t expect the tax payers (us) to bail you out.

City Of Austin Council Candidate Overview

The Travis Monitor has a fine article on the city council candidates. They present a reliable conservative viewpoint. Travis county voters take note.

Lawnmowers Outlawed As Weapons Of Mass Destruction

An article at Ace of Spades HQ relates the news from Switzerland that their law states “Individuals who fail to follow the law regarding the dignity of creation could face criminal charges.” Sounds innocuous, right?

Well, see what an ethics panel has stated, “…the arbitrary killing of flora is morally wrong.” Switzerland does a lot of things right among which is arming all their citizens but this is moonbattery of the highest order. The whole article is even more confounding. Read it.

Parents Fight Over Which Gang For Their Baby

The article is at Euphoric Reality. And, no, I am not kidding. As I heard someone else say, “I think the gene pool needs more chlorine!”. I don’t despair over our culture any more. I’ve given up.
