My personal answer to McCain's and other's Global Warming and Carbon Footprint politics
10 Feb 2008 | Jeff Head

Posted on 02/10/2008 2:40:18 PM PST by Jeff Head

I thought I would put my own money where my mouth is in my opposition to McCain and other RINO/liberal asserttions regarding Global Warming, Global Climate Change, and a "reduced" carbon footprint.

So here it is, from Idaho and the rugged Intermountain West, my answer to Golbal Climate Change and a healthy carbon footprint:













Chevy 5.3L V8 Silverado, Crew Cab, Short Bed, 4X4, Z71 Off Road package, 18" custom wheels, HD Offroad Tires, Tow Package, and that "rumbling" Flow Master dual exhaust system.

Hmmm...seems to be working:

FYI...and as a semi-humorous aside to all that's going on. But seriously, this is my way of telling them exactly how I feel regarding their envirowhacko talk and legislation. MOLON LABE!

A Jeff Head BTT. Nice ride, Clyde! Now excuse me - I have to shovel about three feet of Global Warming off my deck before it collapses... ;-)

LOL!

If you notice, they have changed the terminology. It is no longer Global warming...not the new buzz word is Global Climate Change

That way, the envirowhackos can blaim any climate extremes on mankind, and, of course, particularly on the United States of America. Sad thing is, there are so many foolish useful idiots who lap it up...and far too many self serving politicians who push it for their own perceived political gain.

I like all that ‘global warming’ dust on the ground in the photos.

That looks like strong evidence of global warming, right?

Holy Moly! That truck is too dang purty. Folks will think yer a drugstore cowboy. You gotta run it through some mud, sticker bushes and dry wash gullies. Drive it along a stone wall.

Or just use it for a year or so. Break it in good Jeff!

I kinda' like nice carbon footprints.

That way if I get lost in the woods on the way to the Evil Witch's/Hillary's house, I could follow them to find my way back.

Here is my "carbon footprint" (contains real carbon):

Exactly! I’ve just been out trying to shovel some....I’m not cut out for that! We’re expecting more tomorrow. It’ll be March before I can get out of my driveway, but I’m not real worried about it....got lots of food and fuel!

E-POPPA's

Well, not our real one's but that's the yr/make. I traded up from my minivan, and e-poppa traded up from 150 to 350. (Sheesh, that 350 is LOUD!) We need room for all those grandbabies... and hound dogs! VIVA yank tanks! I just love it when I pull up to a YUGO--- & stretch

My “snow alarm” was buzzing in my head all summer, so I went out and bout a salt spreader, a second snow plow (including truck), and a shiny new woodstove, along with 5,000# of rocksalt and laying in 3 full cords of wood.

If I lived in the state of Washington, I would look like a friggin genious.

Unfortuneately, I live just outside Wahington, DC, and I am crying in my beer.

LOL.

The woodstove and wood have paid off - it is colder than heck out there, and our gas bill has been trivial.

New snow plow - never used.

Salt spreader - made about $400 this year.

arrrrgh.

Scientists predict another ice age you freaking moron McCain. Thats why I wouldn’t waste my vote on a stupid turd like you.

Ice Age, stupid candidates, not global warming. All of these candidates are schemers, in it with Al to bilk people for money they will line their stinking pockets with.

Truth is all of these people need to be thrown out because they are corrupt. Time has come.

Jeff, what does that thing do for gas mileage? My 2004, F250, Diesel is hitting 200k, I've retired and don't need the mileage that a diesel provides. I do need a thing that will tow a 3500# trailer with out to much pain.

I had a Z in the '90's nice ride, better than a Ford and my kid is urging me to get one, opinion.

NICE!

So now that the sun spots have gone into a minimum cycle, when are the Chicken Little going to discover “Global Cooling”?

How much is “fixing” that going to cost us? Do we get to undo all the Envio-laws then to “fight global cooling”?

Are they going to pay us to burn gasoline?

Washed it yesterday. 1st really nice, sunny, and moderately warm day we’ve had since well before Christmas (it was 43 degrees yeasterday)...so you’re seeing it after several weeks of snow, mud, ice, dirt have been cleaned off.

If you're like me, you pretty much see conservatism in terms of black and white.  You've voted for Republican candidates your whole life.  Over the years, while doing so, you have started to have concerns that the politicans you were voting for were becoming more and more leftist.  You stood by the party because not to do so would have been catastrophic to the nation you love.  For some strange reason the party felt compelled to assure you of that, even though it claimed it's candidates shared your views.

At varying points in time, we came to realize the party was no longer interested in the advancement of Conservatism.  It was interested on holding certain political positions, but the agenda it passed bore little connection to Conservatism.  Even when it held the majority of the Senate, the House and the White House, it failed to promote Conservatism while the sun shone.

Now we are faced with a situation this year that makes it abundantly clear, that just about every person of respect in the party, or at least the ones we had respected, have come to the conlusion that the standard bearer this year is one of us.  Only he isn't.

And now the time has come to acknowledge what the party is doing to conservatism.  Are we going to stand for his?  Isn't it time we put an end to it?

Isn't it time to face the reality and quit enabling this type of behavior, with our votes.

Here's my response to the global warming threads.

Please copy and post as much as possible!

Global warming will ease your hard drive. Not the data, but your actual hard drive! Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.

It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Global warming will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card.

It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such is the power of Global warming, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Global warming will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.

Listen to me. Global warming does not exist.

It cannot do anything to you. But I can. I am sending this message to everyone in the world. Tell your friends, tell your family. If anyone else bothers me with fearmongering concerning Global warming, I will turn hating them into a religion. I will do things to them that would make a horsehead in your bed look like Easter Sunday brunch.

No dollars, None of my time , and loss of my vote to all who will subvert the constitution and present themselves as no less than domestic enemies of these United states of America.......
