President Obama Spent Earth Day Polluting

President Obama Spent Earth Day Polluting

On Earth Day, which was April 22nd, President Obama spoke at a Des Moines, Iowa plant that makes towers for wind turbins.

The President's 1,800 mile trip to and from Des Moines burned 9,116 gallons of fuel. That does not include the gasoline used by the motorcade and all the various support vehicles.

So much for being Earth friendly.

Then again the tale enumerated above sums up the entire environmental movement. The message calling on others to save the Earth is often delivered in a way that's as damaging as the forces the message claims is putting the Earth in peril.

Bottom line, Earth Day, which is now four decades old, and the movement associated with it, is a joke.

It's nothing more than a way for socialist and anti-capitalist forces to redistribute wealth and to tell people how to live.

Us puny humans are in no way going to destroy the Earth. We couldn't if we tried.

Look at the recent eruption of Mt. Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland. That little volcano puffs a little bit, sends a smidgen of ash into the atmosphere, and the world's air travel nearly comes to a screeching halt.

Yeah, and my 12 mpg SUV is going to destroy the world.

Over the past year, scientists supporting the myth of global warming have been revealed as charlatans, liars, and cheats.

Again, more proof that modern environmentalism is a punchline.

The resources on our planet have been put here for us to use. Humans subjugate the environment not the other way around. It's kinda the basis for civilization.

Yes we should be respectable of our environment. Yes, we should recycle, conserve, and preserve. But whenever humans and the environment clash, humanity should win.

We need practical environmentalism even if such a notion is deemed OLD.

President Obama Skips Funeral To Play Golf

President Obama Skips Funeral To Play Golf

Mount Eyjafjallajokull, the Icelandic volcano, has pumped so much ash into the air over Europe that thousands of flights have been canceled.

One of those flights involved President Obama. He was set to travel to Poland on April 18, 2010 to attend the state funeral of the nation's president and first lady.

Unable to attend the funeral, Obama played golf instead.

(By the way, Obama has golfed 32 times since taking office in January of 2009. President Bush golfed just 24 times during his entire eight years in office).

Regardless how much you disapprove of Obama's regime, you have to admit golfing during the time when you were supposed to be at a funeral is rather insensitive.

Certainly the President needs leisure time but he's also the leader of the free world. Everything he does is watched, scrutinized, and critiqued.

However, the situation does raise a very good question and one that we can all relate too: Have you ever done something frivolous when you should have been mourning a tragedy?

For instance, you learn that a distant-family member has died and then spend the rest of the evening playing Scoops on your iPhone.

Tragedy strikes the nation but instead of watching wall-to-wall coverage on one of a half-of-dozen news networks you throw yourself a Paul Rudd movie-marathon.

Granted, you have a level of anonymity the President doesn't have and can therefore get away with such callous displays.

Yet, if the privacy of being home alone was removed you would certainly be embarrassed if everyone knew the moments after Great Aunt Martha's death you were shopping at Sephora.com.

According to those who know such things, in times of grief we are to stare out the window and contemplate the meaning of life, we are NOT to play Wii Sports Resort.

I, of course, flog myself and recite inspirational haikus. Ah, who am I kidding, It's World of Warcraft.

Obama Announces New Nuclear Strategy, Critics Say U.S. More Vulnerable

Obama Announces New Nuclear Strategy, Critics Say U.S. More Vulnerable

President Obama has reversed 65 years of U.S. Nuclear policy and eliminated the nation's deterrence capacity.

There was a day when I would have been extremely pleased at news of this sort, say when I was seven or eight.

Now that I'm old, I find this news downright frightening. I believe it has emboldened our enemies and put America and the world at risk.

The United States has removed the threat of a nuclear response without getting anything in return. Furthermore, the president's decision has diminished the nation's ability to protect itself.

When I was young, I experienced countless sleepless nights worrying about the Soviet Union and nuclear war. When my head wasn't filled with mushroom clouds and radiation burns I was convinced the Russians were going to land in my backyard and snatch me out of my bedroom.

Now that I'm old I realize the reason why the Russians didn't attack America (Red Dawn style) and why we had avoided a nuclear war--we had nuclear weapons.

These powerful and devastating weapons don't start wars they prevent them. They don't take lives they save them.

Wisdom teaches that peace comes from being armed not from being unarmed. Deterrents always work, disarming seldom does.

So here's to the return of nightmares. The Russians invading and snatching myself from my bedroom is now a distinct possibility.

President Obama and Racism

Suddenly, if you criticize President Obama you are labeled a racist.

Honest disagreements with the President are being attacked with dishonest accusations of racism.

This movement is being perpetrated by liberals and democrats and their reason for doing it is quite simple.

They can’t logically defend President Obama’s stance on healthcare, cap and trade, the economy, and the defensive missile shield. So with no intellectual leg to stand on, his proponents charge his opponents with racism.

There is perhaps no accusation harder to remove from one’s reputation than that of racism. In fact, it would be easier to cleanse one’s self of being called a murderer or a child molester than a racist.

DNA, finger prints, witnesses, and alibis will help the innocent refute criminal chargers, but there’s nothing anyone can do to reverse the brand of racism.

We live in a society riddled with white guilt. So much so, that if you’re called a racist it will probably stick. When it sticks you become poison.

That is why the strategy of immediately labeling the President’s detractors as racists without one iota of proof is as bad as the act of racism itself.

Obamacare

The best retort to those who desire universal healthcare:

"...majority of Americans still have health insurance through their job and it's, you know, most of them are happy with it."

-President Barack Obama, September 8th, 2009

Young Voters

One of the things that really bothered me about the election was the amount of young people that voted (18 to 24 years old). From all accounts that age group played a huge part in electing Barack Obama president. Instead, that age group should have been playing a large amount of World of Warcraft.

Bottom line, young people shouldn’t be voting.

When you’re that young you’re nothing more than an ignorant ball of hormones that cares more about appearing “cool” than acting responsible—thus Obama’s victory.

Young people haven’t suffered enough; young people haven’t failed enough; young people haven’t had life poke them in the eye and curse their ugliness all while sipping on a tumbler of cranberry vodka.

I read a comment on-line from a young person who was thrilled that she voted for the first time and that her vote counted. I replied by explaining her feeling will quickly wear off. After all, most elections are between the lesser of two evils and most elections lack historical significance.

In addition to voting for Obama, college age voters were mobilized and organized and helped campaigned. This is a luxury Republicans can’t afford. College students have nothing but time, Republicans are busy working.

Snuffleupagus

ABC has received a lot of criticism lately for the way Charles Gibson and Snuffleupagus prepared for the last Democratic presidential debate. Apparently 10.7 million people watched the Wednesday night debate. Or as I like to say 10.7 million people who couldn’t find anything better to do. The criticism, according to Obama himself, is for the first 45 minutes of the debate Gibson and Snuffleupagus didn’t ask a single question about the war in Iraq, the economy, the war in Iraq, healthcare or the war in Iraq. Instead, Gibson and Snuffleupagus asked about all the hyperboles and lies that have come forth from the mouths of Obama and Clinton. According to message boards and blogs and as we all know they are infallible, most of the 10.7 million people agreed with Senator Obama that ABC’s debate was deplorable. But it wasn’t. First of all, if you’re a democrat, don’t you know already know what the senators are going to say about the war, the economy and the healthcare? They have been campaigning for about 11 years! You mean to tell me you still don’t know their position on those issues? You only have to learn one stance per issue, because they both think the same way. Second of all, I think the lies, hyperboles and utter nonsense that spews from their mouths is important and they should be questioned about it. I think Gibson and Snuffleupagus should have asked Senator Obama why he hates poor, religious Americans, why he’s a member of the Weather Underground and why he refuses to wear an American flag pin on his lapel.

BHO

I really have no opinion about Barack Hussein Obama, other than I don’t like his politics. As for the BHO the man, I really don’t know nor do I care. What I really despise about BHO are his groupies—not supporters, not followers, not fans but groupies and that’s meant to be a pejorative! They are the most obnoxious, annoying people on the face of the Earth. They make Boston Red Sox and Dallas Cowboy fans seem pleasant. I guess I have little liking for people who are so easily swayed by a well spoken handsome man—and that’s the sum of his appeal because he has exactly the same politics as his democratic challenger. BHO may be a great president or he may not, I just want him to lose just so I can rub it in the face of his groupies. You keep saying he’s the candidate of change but if he gets elected, he won’t end the war, he won’t stand up to lobbyists, he won’t be bipartisan and he won’t do anything any different than any other Commander–In-Chief. Why? Because he’s a politician and you’re a fool to think otherwise.

Change

If hear Obama or one of his acolytes say America needs a change one more time, I’m moving to Canada. What in the hell does that mean? Does America need to change its name? Change its underwear? Change its tune? What? It’s a rhetoric that is as meaningless as it is obnoxious. What’s he’s going to change? Really? I bet he can’t even change a tire.
