Been a while since I had an inspiration to write anything, when there is so much bad happening it is hard to focus and don't they know it. They have us just where they want us, my friends we lost a whole lot of our liberties yesterday and another brick from the wall that will lead to total collapse of our economy in short order if we can't stop the bleeding.
I have an idea, lets kill the 5 Judges that called CO2 a pollutant, because they breath it out several thousand times a day. What an upside down world we live in. Al Gore who was barely Competent as an elected official some how has become our Scientist of record, I know after all he did invent the internet. The theory of global warming is just bad science, the fact that ever so slightly the earth's atmosphere is cooling, under Gore's and the 5 men in black's theory we should be pumping every greenhouse gas we can into the atmosphere. The truth is that no matter how much we tried we couldn't affect climatic changes one way or the other, CO2 is miniscule in the atmosphere and a non factor in green house effect, we are chasing our tail here. That is the rouse, the fact is Cap and Trade has nothing to do with the atmosphere and everything to do with power. They simply don't care that they are ruining the country, it just doesn't matter to them, I know it is a hard concept to get your mind around and don't you think they don't know it, but the facts are clear "Country First" is just not something that ever enters their mind. This has been happening for 80 years or so, what makes it different is the ruthlessness of Obama, he just doesn't care, he doesn't care if he doesn't get reelected, this makes him a really dangerous person, his idealogy is the only thing that matters, nothing else. He is about to get his wish, everyone will be the same, poor, well everyone but him and his croonies.
8 Republicans voted for this piece of crap, I don't know who they are yet, but I will be contributing to opposing conservatives to get them the out of there. Surpising there were 43 Democrats that voted no, it would also be interesting to see how they have voted on other issues, maybe they want to join the Republican party. The fact is, this is really not a partisan issue, it is just one terrible idea that needs to be stopped. Conservative estimates say that every family will be burdened with more than $3000 every year directly because of this bill, mean while we have perfectly good sources of energy sitting there and we can't drill for it, Obama wants to put the coal industry out of business, they only supply 80% of our electricity, this bill gives him the means to do that. Everything from food to heating fuel will be affected. Truthfully, $3,000 more a year in my situation puts me out of the game, I know we couldn't do it, our whole lifestyle would need to be altered. I guess I would have to give up cable, wait I don't have cable, give up that vacation, wait we have never gone on a vacation, hmmm.... there must be something.... well we could eat a little less, find things that will grow in Maine in the winter..... drop the heat down, if we did more of that we would have hypotherma..... we could give up driving except to work... wait we already do that.... I am smart.... don't worry I will think of something. I know your saying you could give up Internet but the small amount of income I have is directly releated to the internet, so that doesn't work. Oh, I could use those stupid smart light bulbs.... hmmm... Oh yeah we already do that, everytime I see one of those save money segments on TV, I watch intensely, same old.... same old. Any ideas?
Sad to say, it will take a bigger miracle to stop in the Senate, the best chance was in the house, it was a squeaker but the bad guys won the day.
I don't know how we got this stupid. Our educational system certainly has something to do with it, when tenure means more than teaching and unions are stronger than school boards. We have less than a year in my opinion for the country to come to its senses, beyond that I am afraid it is just all lost and there will be no going back to the country we all loved.
This post is nothing earth shattering, just my feelings this morning for what it is worth and now I am off to a wedding, where these poor Obama voters will have to deal with these issues long after I am dead, I am secure in the knowledge that at least I didn't shoot myself in the foot, they shot me in the foot..... ouch ... hurts either way.
