The immorality of the Copenhagen conference

by | 3:27 pm, December 17, 2009

The Copenhagen delegates, like primitive cavemen dancing around a fire, howling at the moon, offering human sacrifice to appease their false god, are prepared to offer up centuries of progress in a meaningless attempt to appease their false god.

The immorality of the modern day green cultists is staggering. They care not that they will make electricity, heat and basic modern comforts unavailable to the poorest of the world.

They ignore the staggering economic costs of forcing the aged and infirm to quit using cheap fossil fuels to warm their houses in the winter. The aged and infirm are mere casualties in the Green Crusaders’ war against progress – that same progress that allowed them to fly in jumbo jets to Europe, and that same progress that ignites the internal combustion engines in their limousines that idle outside their luxury hotels. That same progress that they, the elite, will be able to afford no matter how much electricity and heat cost the huddled masses.

The cultists have no interest in achieving their goals if the means do not give them control over others. If they actually believed that immediate action is necessary to save the planet from self-immolation, they would be building nuclear power plants.

That solution to their fictitious problem, however, does not allow them to decide who gets how much money. It does not require tribute. It does not require you to succumb.

And you must give tribute. And you must succumb. Or the oceans will boil! (Or some such fantastic tripe).

And, just like false evangelical television stars, they inflame the fear and ignorance of others for their own financial gain.

It is a disgrace.

Americans for Prosperity Holds Code Red Rally at U.S. Senate Offices

Coloradans to Visit U.S. Senators at Five Colorado Locations

COLORADO SPRINGS – Thousands of Americans converged on the House of Representatives in November with our Congressional House Calls – both in Washington, D.C. and their home districts – to let them know we don’t want this brand of health reform. We want reform that puts patients first. That bill passed by an extremely narrow margin, showing Congress is divided on this issue.

Now the fight has turned to the Senate, and it’s down to the wire. Coloradans face hundreds of billions in escalating costs, new taxes, and government-forced health insurance backed by penalties of fines and jail time.

The No. 1 reason Congress has taken this long on this issue is the American people – Americans rallying for a fresh start on health reform.

As the Senate nears the end of the health care debate Coloradans have one last opportunity to stand up for health care freedom in a way Senators Udall and Bennet won’t forget.

AFP is hosting a Code Red Rally at the U.S. Capitol this coming Tuesday, December 15th to tell the Senate to keep their hands off our health care. In Colorado, we will be visiting the offices of our Senators at four locations throughout the state.

Unions: Taking dues from hardworking people to fight for workers’ rights! Right?

From today’s Denver Post editorial page:

A golden parachute with four wheels? What do you get as a gift for an ousted union leader accused of nepotism? A Ford F-350 pickup paid for with union dues, of course. 9News reporter Kyle Clark shined the light on the continuing corruption at United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, where ousted leader Ernie Duran Jr. is walking away with his union truck.
And outgoing union secretary Stan Kania is driving away in his union-purchased Ford 500. Both gifts were approved by Local 7′s executive committee, and the seventh vice president — not the first through sixth, mind you — told 9News that every other departing president got a vehicle. That’s great, except they didn’t, according to 9News, which interviewed past presidents. What hogwash.
And don’t even get us started on the board’s impromptu telephone vote to endorse — and give the maximum amount of cash — to any staff member who runs for public office. Two weeks later, Duran’s daughter, who also worked at Local 7, announced a statehouse run.

Sometimes the answer is all too simple.

by | 8:55 am, December 12, 2009

On Friday, the U. S. House of Representatives approved “sweeping new financial industry regulations.
The bill, among other things,
hands regulators broad new powers likely to impact everyone from the average mortgage applicant to multibillion-dollar financial houses that lord over the global economy.
Among its most applauded — and controversial — components, the 1,279-page bill would create an entirely new regulatory agency, the Financial Services Oversight Council. Its charge would be to protect consumers and give regulators the power to pre-emptively dismantle companies if they conclude those firms threaten the economy.
The premise of such regulation is based on a fanciful idea. Those in favor of regulation such as this believe that government functionaries have some idea how to successfully manage an industry, or at least some portion of it.
This premise has no basis in fact. Even if one believes that Wall Street firms and bankers are evil and must be reigned in, this regulation does not solve the problem.
It merely substitutes the evil bankers with evil, and incompetent, bureaucrats.
More regulation is not the answer. More regulation results in more rules. More rules means more time and money must be spent in complying with those rules. It provides incentives for those that can find loopholes in the rules. It costs money to enforce the rules.
Society eventually ends up spending more time and resources arguing about commas, definitions and exceptions to arbitrary regulations than to actually solving the perceived problem.
The problem can be solved with one rule, and it is already in place:
Do not commit fraud.
All people, even Wall Street Bankers, should be able to engage in any voluntary transaction with any other person as long as no fraud is perpetrated.
This simple rule, however, does not allow politicians to control anything. They do not get to create new agencies. They do not get to hire new regulators. They do not get to pay off political debt. Nor do they solve the problem.
But it is not about solving the problem. It is about control. And the House bill gives Congress plenty of that.

Let’s put these guys in charge of health care.

by | 11:47 am, December 9, 2009

According to an article by the Denver Post’s Michael Riley, “Feds settle suit over mismanagement of Indian trust land,”

the federal government agreed Tuesday to settle for $3.4 billion a lawsuit that claims it badly mismanaged millions of acres in Indian trust land over more than 100 years.
The federal government would return those lands to tribal ownership, reversing a controversial policy of privatization that dates to 1887, was reversed in the 1930s and is seen by many in Indian country as contributing to a legacy of poverty and underdevelopment that continues to this day.
the announcement finalizes a monumental legal struggle that had become a symbol of government neglect and mismanagement, one that a district judge last year called an “irreparable breach of fiduciary duty” by the Department of the Interior.
federal officials appeared to have lost millions of critical records dating back decades that were supposed to record income from trust lands and what was done with the money.
And some statists argue it is a moral imperative that we give these same people control over health care. These statists have a misguided faith in the government. They refuse to see the historical, proven inability of the government to manage a lemonade stand, much less the country’s entire health care system.
There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.

Goebbels on man made global warming

by | 9:18 am, November 25, 2009

Joseph Goebbels understood propaganda. His words apply to the fraud pushed by members of the Al Gore Cult of Global Warming:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Memos from inside the fraudulent Al Gore Cult of Global Warming

by | 10:28 pm, November 20, 2009

It is hard work defending a cult. Especially when the truth might harm its foundations.

Cult leaders will suppress the truth to protect the religious movement. Scientists seek truth.
That, my friends, is the difference between members of the Al Gore Cult of Global Warming and actual scientists.
The New York Times reports that the Cult’s internal memos demonstrate a deliberate intent to suppress the truth to preserve the religion.
Some examples:
In several e-mail exchanges, Kevin Trenberth, a climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and other scientists discussed whether a string of recent years of relatively stable temperatures undermined scientific models that predict long-term warming.
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t,” Dr. Trenberth wrote.
An actual scientist faced with data contrary to his hypothesis would ask if his hypothesis was wrong. A religious zealot curses the data and calls it a travesty.
In a 1999 e-mail exchange about charts showing climate patterns over the last two millennia, Phil Jones, a longtime climate researcher at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, said he had used a “trick” employed by another scientist, Michael Mann, to “hide a decline” in temperatures.

Actual scientists do not use “tricks” to fool people. Cult leaders and snake-oil salesmen use tricks, to, well, trick people into believing a lie.
“Drinking the Kool-Aid” has become a cliche, but Jim Jones would have made an excellent climate change advocate from his campground in Guyana. Jones led a very successful cult.
Just like Al Gore.

Blind faith in the Cult of the State

by | 7:42 am, November 19, 2009

From today’s Denver Post:

Colorado has received millions in stimulus funding for projects in the 8th, 24th, 45th and 64th congressional districts, according to a federal website tracking the money.
But the state has only seven districts.
It turns out that the misclassifications were the result of mistakes, faulty interpretations and even guesses born of frustration with the stimulus-reporting software …
Yet the members of the Cult of the State continue to worship their Government God as the answer to all of society’s ills, real and perceived.
Perhaps these cult members should reevaluate their fealty to such a feeble deity. Perhaps they should look elsewhere for solutions.
Maybe the cult’s members are right and government’s impending takeover of health care will not suffer from similar incompetence.
However, it takes an unwarranted and unearned faith to believe so.
