Fiat money scheme.

Monetizes the air.

Creates dollars from literally nothing.

Inherently inflationary.

Covert taxation scheme.

Direct transfer of American wealth to Al Gore’s pockets.

More socialism. More communism. The Soviets got it all wrong. They should have just waited. The USA has done it to themselves. Self inflicted wound. Self inflicted communism. The communist are taking over here without firing a shot.

THis is designed to keep the Unemployed from revolting, keep them at bay, and keep them sedated. This is pure trash.

Excellent article. It’s great to see a fellow conservative behind enemy lines here in the PDX area.

BUMP TO THE TOP!

Just as I was about to leave this thread with all the "Rainbow and Unicorn" talk, I came upon your post.
Thanks...perhaps there is still some real hope!

If this is not worthy of every single American rising up in total revolt, then I am going to sincerely consider... something. I don't know what, because it won't be possible to live and prosper in the United States.

Obama did promise that Americans would not be able to keep the heat at 68 degrees in winter, and also not keep the air conditioning as low as 72 in summer. He is working very hard to make this a reality.

Of course, obama said so many things and their opposites, it is unclear which version was really his intention.

Obama’s cap & trade scheme which the Socialist Congress will pass is designed to increase the cost of electricity for every individual, family and business. it will result in more businesses closing and significantly higher unemployment, all in the name of “protecting” us from greenhouse gases. We do not need protection from greenhouse gases; we need protection from Obama and the Socialist Congress.

FACTS: 1) greenhouse gases are not evil, they are essential to keeping the earth warm enough for humans; 2) the most common greenhouse gas is water vapor; 3) CO2 is not pollution, it is essential for plants and humans; 4) CO2 is only a trace element in the atmosphere at 380 parts per million; 5) humans and their activities account for only 3% of CO2 emissions each year; 6) the earth has had cycles of cooling and warming about every 1,500 years due to variations in the sun’s activity and our orbit around the sun; 7) these cycles are beyond human control; 8) about 1,000 years ago, Greenland had vineyards; 9) the earth is cooling now, not warming relative to prior decades; and 10) a major reduction of sun spots in recent years suggests a coming mini ice age.

An excerpt from the March 2009 issue of The American Spectator: “All scientists agree that if man-made global warming is real, it would leave a fingerprint in the form of temperatures increasing with altitude in the tropical troposphere portion of the atmosphere up to a hotspot about 10 kilometers above the surface, reflecting the pattern of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Warming due to solar variations or other natural causes would not leave such a fingerprint pattern. Recently, higher-quality temperature data from balloons and satellites ... enables us to settle the man-made global warming debate definitively. The data from weather balloons shows the opposite pattern: no increasing warming with altitude, but rather a slight cooling with no hotspot. The satellite data shows the same result: no increasing temperature with altitude, no hotspot, no fingerprint, maybe again a slight cooling with altitude. Game over. QED. The global warming empire is rattling around but has not and cannot come up with an effective response. The data is the data. The science is the science. Man-made global warming is a hoax developed to serve powerful special interests.” (This was written by Peter Ferrara.)

Here’s how the cap & trade legislation will adversely impact our entire economy and standard of living:

I received in the mail a newsletter from our congresscum yesterday.

3/5 of the POS dealt with green energy, green subsidies, etc.

Green is the new red.
But just like the old red,
It's all about the green.

When you consider just how cold the earth can get during ice ages, you realize how little is the contribution of greenhouse gases compared to the combined effects of solar irradiation and the distance the earth is from the sun.

A year ago, If I had mentioned the NWO here I would have been laughed out of town....today, there are many here that are starting to see the reality.

It’s beyond obvious that someone very high up has designs on destroying America....and finally, there are people waking up to that.

I work for a major independent oil and gas company. We have been told that if Zero gets all the new tax and regulations for our industry that he is pushing that we can expect layoffs. I am hoping for an early retirement package. Guess I can always be a Wal-Mart greeter.

Right, but our Congressmorons, the Gorons, and Obama think that humans control the earth’s climate. They could all benefit from: 1) basic science courses; 2) humility, meaning an understanding of the insignificance of the human race compared to the sun, our galaxy and the universe; and 3) psycho-analysis.

As we know, cap & trade will be a massive tax on the whole economy, largely in the form of sky-rocketing energy prices. Together with Obama’s plan to let the Bush tax cuts expire, cap & trade will lead to 20% unemployment. It will also lead to Lower tax revenues due to depressed GDP, even deeper national debt, and political turmoil. At that point perhaps conservatives will replace both the Demo-Socialists and the Republicans, who are fake capitalists.

All this goes to show why the Founding Fathers considered the government to be at best an untrustworthy servant. We’ve let the servant take over the running of the house and the setting of the family’s priorities in life.

".... because it won't be possible to live and prosper in the United States."

I don't envy the 18-22 yr olds entering the workforce these days (I do envy them being 18-22 years of age :).

I read they are getting horizontal-counseling because their chosen career prospects are so bleak. Counseling?? Sheesh, get a job doing something, anything. Laying on the couch talking to the ceiling isn't going to put any money in their pockets.
