Ask A Truther – Is The Oil Spill An Inside Job?

May 1, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Democrat Incompetence, Energy, Energy Independence, News, Opinion, Presidential Politics, Tin Foil Conspiracy Theories Comments Off

First off let me say that the questions that I’m about to raise are solely for the purpose of needling 9/11 Truthers. By no means do I actually believe that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is an inside job. But – the question needs to be asked of the Truthers.

SO – Is the oil spill an inside job? Let’s look at the circumstantial evidence like good little Truthers.

First, ~~Emperor~~ President Barack Hussein Obama announces support for increased oil exploration and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and certain coastal cities about a week and a half prior to the explosion on the British Petroleum oil platform which is the direct cause of the oil spill. This infuriated the environmental lobby to no end.

Second, oil experts all agree that it would have been better for the environment had they allowed the oil platform to continue to burn. The escaping oil would be contained by the fire leaving behind a hard, buoyant substance that can literally be retrieved by hand.

Questions:

Why was the fire extinguished?
Could it be to give the Obama Infestation an avenue to change direction on their previous announcement to increase oil exploration?
Could it be that the Obama Infestation planted charges on that platform with the express purpose of causing an oil spill?
Is it possible that this inside job then got out of hand and is now endangering the entire ecosystem of the Gulf Coast because the Obama Infestation was grossly unprepared to handle such a catastrophe?
Is it at all possible that this eco-threat was contrived as a method to counter the Bush Administration’s handling of both September 11th and Hurricane Katrina?

While we are addressing Presidential responses to disasters, what is taking Obamaramadingdong so long to respond? At least Bush had a viable excuse. He had two moronic Democrats (Blanco and Nagin) standing in his way preventing him from putting the federal response in place prior to Katrina making landfall. What is the Man with the Middle Name Hussein’s excuse? He has none.

The timing of all of this is extremely coincidental. One week he agrees to increase oil exploration then the very next week this platform explodes. How convenient.

Again, I do not actually believe that any of this is true however, is it possible? Where’s Fat Ass Rosy O’Donnell, Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura (as he was known in the WWF in the 1980′s) and Van Jones? Perhaps they have the answers.

One other thing. War is not the only method of wagging the dog. Is your attention sufficiently diverted yet?

[Note]: This post is filed under a new Category Tin Foil Conspiracy Theories to show how ridiculous I actually think the idea is. Can we drop the 9/11 Truther BS yet?

Cap and Tax, Obama’s Thermostat, and Reality

Cartoonist – Mike Lester

Remember that we are talking about the guy who said, “under my plan of cap and trade, electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket” (:35 seconds into the video below). Seems to this blogger that Mike Lester’s cartoon is extremely accurate. If you watch the video, Obama mentions the fact that prices for oil, natural gas, and other means of heating your home will be going up as well.

This from the guy who has the Oval Office so hot, his advisers have to attend meetings in shirt sleeves.

From the New York Times – January 29, 2009…

The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Mr. Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

“He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

Ok… I’ll concede that Obama is from Hawaii originally but he lived in Chicago for how many years?!? I’m sorry Mr. Axelrod, that dog don’t hunt.

Truth be told, Obama is another typical Lear Jet Liberal who preaches to the masses about how our activity is impacting the planet and also has the audacity to tell us to alter our ways without any intention of altering his. He’s a hypocrite. Especially when you begin to notice the rapid decline in atmospheric temperatures. Someone is whitewashing someone. Question: Are you noticing that it’s you?

And as an aside – who cares how much it costs for the Emperor to have the Oval Office so hot that he can grow orchids anyway. He’s not paying the bill. The taxpayers are.

Democrats Quickly Losing Independent Support

January 18, 2010 Energy Independence, Homosexual Agenda, Ohio Politics, Opinion, Voter Fraud Comments Off

They key polling data to look at going forth towards the November elections should be those identified as ‘independent voters’. Case in point, the latest polls out of the Massachusetts special election for US Senate. They key voting block in this race are those who do not identify themselves as either Democrat or Republican.

According to the latest data, Brown is leading Coakley 51% – 46% overall which is fabulous news for Massachusetts and the nation as a whole. However, the key data in that poll is how the race shapes up among those who do not claim a party affiliation. Among independents, Brown leads Coakley 64% – 32% (2:1)! This is dramatic data.[1]

If the Democrats cannot convert ‘Independent Voters’ they cannot win. There are 4% more people identifying themselves as Republicans in this country than Democrats. Conservatives outnumber Liberals nearly 2:1. Independents are the key voting block and if they cannot be converted Democrats sink.

The problem Democrats are having is that they’ve burned ‘Independents’. In 2008 Democrats won due to in no small part to their ability to convert ‘Independent Voters’. Newsflash 2010, ‘Independents’ are poised to let their displeasure known via the ballot box.

ABC News’ Jake Tapper makes a very interesting observation of the Coakley/Brown race in Massachusetts. His observation? Martha Coakley: A Democratic Canary in a Coalmine?

Tapper canary in a coalmine reference makes the point that as devastating as a Coakley loss will be to the Emperor and his agenda today, it is but a mere sample of what is likely to happen come November 4th. More importantly, he sees the writing on the Obama White House wall.

Tapper makes 4 points noted in Obama’s appearance in Massachusetts yesterday. Point #4 is the most revealing and it deals exclusively with Death Care.

(4) Planning for a Brown Win:

This was unsaid at the rally, but one other thing worth noting is that the White House is obviously preparing a strategy for health care reform in case Coakley loses.

As we reported previously, the White House would want the House pass the Senate bill, so the Senate doesn’t have to vote any more on the matter in the new post-supermajority Senate with Scott Brown.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has told the White House that she’s skeptical the House would pass that legislation, given the stark differences in some areas, but Senate Democrats and White House officials would push hard the notion that the bills are 90 percent similar and not doing so would be allowing the insurance companies to win. House Democrats would want Senate Democrats force the bill through by bypassing normal Senate rules and passing the legislation through the “reconciliation” process — requiring only 50 votes. That would even allow some moderates to peel away.

But White House officials note that reconciliation is only for budget matters so the most popular parts of the bill involving insurance reforms — banning the denial of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, for instance — would not be part of that bill.

Why would they be making contingency plans in the event of a Brown win if they didn’t expect one?

Also, Death Care isn’t the only casualty if Brown wins. Cap and Tax will die on the table in the Senate as well. And ‘Independents’ understand that. ‘Independents’ want Death Care to die. ‘Independents’ want Cap and Tax to die. That is why Brown will win tomorrow because they know he will empower the minority to block harmful legislation which is the only kind of legislation being authored today.

The Democrats have shown their colors by legislating behind closed doors and making sweetheart deals to buy votes. ‘Independents’ are joining Conservatives and Libertarians in opposition to this “Politburo” style of governance adopted by the Obama Infestation and the Pelosi/Reid Congress. This is the ‘Tea Party’. And their villain is the Obama/Pelosi/Reid big government.

THE EPA Report on AGW: We Don’t Know

In the wake of the overwhelming stupidity shown by 219 members of the House of Representatives on Friday in passing the energy bill without doing a cost to benefit analysis on any portion of the bill, we today have access to a quashed report drafted at the EPA on the uncertainties over man made ~~global warming~~ climate change.

From the report:

We have become increasingly concerned that the EPA and many other agencies and countries have paid too little attention to the science of global warming. EPA and other have tended to accept the findings reached by outside groups, particularly the IPCC and the CCSP, as being correct without a careful and critical examination of their conclusions and documentation. If they should be found to be incorrect at a later date, however, and the EPA is found not to have made a really careful review of them before reaching its decisions on endangerment, it appears likely that it is the EPA rather than these groups that may be blamed for this error.

It seems to me that anyone who may have read this report, and this paragraph in particular, then decided to ignore the author’s observations and go with the IPCC and CCSP reports is a fraud. From the opening paragraph of the preface, the author of this document that the Obama friendly EPA leadership chose to hide, it is evident that there is someone within the organization who knows better than to accept blithely conclusions reached by individuals who may have had an agenda. It seems only prudent, that the EPA – an agency of the US government – would have done independent studies to either confirm or disprove the results of the IPCC and CCSP reports. Failing to do so opens the EPA and the government of the United States up to all kinds of difficulties when those conclusions are found to be fraudulent. Prudence alone warrants an independent study. But they didn’t do that.

That said however, the next line is THE most telling –

We do not maintain that we or anyone else have all the answers to take action now.

I’m sorry, but if you plan on supporting legislation that has the potential to put 2.5 million American people out of work per year, I think that you have an obligation to know all the answers before voting on said legislation. But then again we ARE talking about a process that allows the bill’s manager to submit an amendment to the bill in excess of 300 pages at 3:09am the day of the vote.

Instead of releasing this report before the vote on the Cap and Tax scheme proposed by the President and authored by Waxman, Pelosi, et al, the EPA failed to protect the American people in favor of a political agenda regardless of the science involved.

The report goes on to state in the Executive Summery …

The current TSD is based largely on the IPCC AR4 report, which is at best three years out of date in a rapidly changing field. There have been important developments in areas that deserve careful attention in this draft. The list includes the following five:

Global temperatures have declined – extending the current downtrend to 11 years with a particularly rapid decline in 1907-08 (I believe this was supposed to be dated 2007-08); in addition, the PDO went negative in September, 2007 and the AMO in January, 2009, respectively. At the same time atmospheric CO2 levels have continued to increase and CO2 emissions have accelerated.

The consensus on past, present, and future Atlantic hurricane behavior has changed. Initially, it tilted towards the idea that anthropogenic global warming is leading to (and will lead to) to more frequent and intense storms. Now the consensus is much more neutral, arguing that future Atlantic tropical cyclones will be little different that those in the past.

The idea that the warming temperatures will cause Greenland to rapidly shed its ice has been greatly diminished by new results indicating little evidence for the operation of such processes.

One of the worst economic recessions since World War II has greatly decreased GHG emissions compared to the assumptions made by the IPCC. To the extent that ambient GHG levels are relevant for future global temperatures, these emission reductions should greatly influence the adverse effects of these emissions on public health and welfare. The current draft TSP does not reflect the changes that have already occurred nor those that are likely to occur in the future as a result of the recession. In fact, the topic is not even discussed to our knowledge.

A new 2009 paper finds that the crucial assumption in the GCM models used by the IPCC concerning stongly positive feedback from water vapor is not supported by empirical evidence and that the feedback is actually negative.

A new 2009 paper by Scafetta and West suggests that the IPCC used faulty solar data in dismissing the direct effect of solar variability on global temperatures. Their research suggest that solar variability could account for up to 68% of the increase in the Earth’s global temperatures.

These six developments alone should greatly influence any assessment of “vulnerability, risk, and impacts” of climate change within the U.S. But these are just a few of the new developments since 2006. Therefore, the extensive portions of the EPA’s Endangerment TSD which are based on the old science are no longer appropriate and need to be revisited before a new TSD is issued for comments.

This document is an indictment of the EPA’s complicity in the global conspiracy known as anthropogenic global climate change or as I refer to it as – The Church of Global Warming of Modern Day Idiots.

Failure to release this document prior to the US House vote on Friday for the members to digest prior to voting on legislation which has the potential to destroy the lives of nearly 310 million people borders on the criminal. It is my wish that those within the agency responsible for the suppression of this document to be brought to public light and charged in the court of public opinion.

However, knowing what we know about the current Presidential Infestation, they would more likely get a medal by the Commander-in-Thief.

The Winds Are Dying Off – So Much for ‘Green’ Energy

June 10, 2009 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Big Mouth Joe Biden, Democrat Incompetence, Energy, Energy Independence, Fiscal Irresponsibility, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, Taxes, The Economy, The Fiction of Global Warming Comments Off

Since the out-of-control hysteria over global warming began, we’ve had to put up with the moronic notion that ‘green energy’ is the solution to man’s arrogant quest to control the climate. As silly as the notion is, let’s take issue with one particular form of ‘green energy’ proposed to be the savior of the planet – wind.

The proposal is to use wind turbines to create electricity and eliminate the need for coal and oil powered plants. Problem – the winds are dying off.

From the Star Tribune…

The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address.

Those on the MDI* side of the debate have the delusional idea that man is responsible for global warming so we must be responsible for the slowing of the wind as well. Hence the idea that global warming is slowing the wind. Whether planetary warming is causing wind speed decreases or not the issue remains how can anyone actually be seriously considering placing all of our nation’s electrical needs in the hands of morons who cannot guarantee the wind will even blow?

You see, most of the idiots coming up with these non-solutions live in areas where the sun shines 300 out of 365 days so solar is something they advocate. These are the same places where the wind blows almost non-stop so combining their idea of solar energy with wind “should” solve our oil dependency problems. Well, no.

They are fighting solar and wind farms in California where most of the libtarded morons who advocate this idiocy live. If they don’t want it in their backyard, why expect me to put it in mine. Oh wait, the Star Tribune article addresses this too.

Wind measurements plotted out on U.S. maps by Pryor show wind speeds falling mostly along and east of the Mississippi River. Some areas that are banking on wind power, such as west Texas and parts of the Northern Plains, do not show winds slowing nearly as much. Yet, states such as Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, northern Maine and western Montana show some of the biggest drop in wind speeds.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that my view of the corn growing on the horizon would be cluttered by those silly wind turbines which more often than not would be idol like the minds of the idiots who think this crap up.

And before I go wandering off, I didn’t know that Kansas and Western Montana were along and east of the Mississippi river. Just an observation – back to the program.

We have several easy solutions for our oil dependency problems. The first is drilling our own oil. The second is a byproduct of that oil exploration called natural gas. The third is nuclear energy. And the fourth, whether Big Mouth Joe or Barry the Wonder Turd realize it or not, is clean coal. Yes clean coal.

But that’s right, these solutions would put Americans to work. Barry and Joe want Americans dependent upon them for their livelihood therefore they can’t be put to work that would be counter productive to their revolutionary socialist agenda.

People when are you going to realize that climatic changes are cyclical? When are you going to realize that the climate is no where near as warm as it was when the Vikings settled Greenland? When are you going to realize that the earth is likely to get much cooler before the catastrophic rises in ocean levels predicted by Al Gore’s Power Point Presentation ~~An Incomplete Deception~~?

You people have bought a bill of goods and it is one that no one is prepared to pay for. As our nation faces an economic crisis on a scale which we are currently dealing with it is preposterous to think that we can implement tax policies designed to drive up cost and eliminate more jobs. You can pretty much count on a full-blown depression if the President’s environmental tax on energy passes.

I would like to know how Barry the Wonder Turd expects those millions of poor people to pay their electric and gas bills if he implements that tax. Especially when no one will be working thanks to him. And they are supposed to be the Party of the working class and the poor?!?

Note: For the record – the news source cited is full of AGW BS in my opinion. I only offer it as a source to confirm that there is an observation that wind in this country is not very reliable.

House Republicans Unveil The True Road to Recovery

March 26, 2009 Energy, Energy Independence, Fiscal Responsibility, GOP/RNC, News, Taxes, The Economy, U.S. House View Comments

via email…

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement on the “Road to Recovery,” a detailed plan to curb spending, create jobs, and control the debt, in contrast to the irresponsible budget proposed by President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress, which spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much:

“Families and small businesses across America are struggling and looking to Washington for solutions. Unfortunately, the President’s budget spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much. Republicans have a better solution. Our Road to Recovery plan curbs spending, creates jobs and cuts taxes, and controls the debt at a time when the American people deserve responsible answers during this economic crisis. The President’s budget will hurt the economy and destroy jobs. By contrast, our Road to Recovery plan will strengthen the economy, create jobs, and restore fiscal sanity in Washington.

“This isn’t the first time Republicans offered better solutions, and the President and Democrats in Congress know that. This year, House Republicans have offered alternatives on the economy and jobs, children’s health care, college and retirement savings, and housing. Now, our Road to Recovery plan builds on the better budget principles I outlined for the President last week. It’s time for Washington Democrats to start doing what’s in the best interests of the American people and work with us to produce a fiscally-responsible budget that creates jobs and helps middle-class families.”

NOTE: The House GOP’s Road to Recovery plan curbs spending, creates jobs and lowers taxes, and controls the debt by:

Letting families and small businesses keep more of what they earn;
Ensuring federal budget doesn’t grow faster than family budgets;
Committing to real entitlement reform and expanding Americans’ access to affordable health care;
Ending the bailouts to protect taxpayers;
Reducing gas prices through an “all of the above” energy plan; and
Fighting inflation so prices of goods and services remain stable.

I was once again invited to participate in a conference call with Rep. Boehner this morning where he outlined this plan. Participants were given an opportunity to ask questions. I asked…

As the Democrat Caucus pushes forward with implementing the President’s budget and in the process eliminates his much touted “Middle-Class tax cut”, is the GOP Caucus prepared to take the Democrats and their President to the mat in the coming election (meaning the midterms) and remind the American people who exactly is responsible for raising taxes on the poorest segment of the population during the recession with the elimination of the 10% tax bracket and increased taxes on tobacco and other consumer products?

In his answer the Minority Leader assured us that we “don’t have to worry about that”. That a number of really good Conservative candidates are coming forward to challenge the liberals in the upcoming midterms.

The reason I asked the question was that the Democrats were left virtually unchallenged in the 2006 & 2008 elections on the subject of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans when in fact the Bush tax cuts created a lower tax bracket that was previously non-existent. When they are allowed to expire, that 10% bracket will be eliminated and those taxpayers currently paying that lowest rate will see a 50% increase in their rate when they find themselves back in the 15% bracket. Combine that with the implementation of new taxes on tobacco products on April 1st of this year and calls for an increase in the gasoline tax, the regressive nature of the Obamaramadingdong’s budget and tax proposals will hit all Americans. But they will have a larger impact on the poorest of the population. I am concerned that the liberal media will cover over these facts come election time should the GOP mount an ineffective campaign against the liberal fiction machine.

Another Ohio Blogger asked about the lack of Blue Dog Democrat opposition to the Obamaramadingdong’s agenda to which Rep. Boehner said that they are nothing more than “lap dogs for Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and President Obama”. And that there are very few actual Conservative Democrats in the House.

When Justin Higgins brought up the subject of the national tea parties and asked whether or not they are being getting any attention on ‘the Hill’, Rep. Boehner reminded us that the hastily thrown together legislation that House Dems put together to insulate themselves from responsibility in the AIG bonus fiasco was a result of public outrage and that Congress responds to the engaged electorate. From this I took that we should be wearing out the phone lines, bombarding the emails, clogging the fax machines, and generally making ourselves into a force that the elected elites cannot ignore and eventually, we’ll get heard.

There have been calls on the public to send tea bags to their elected officials to protest the fiscal irresponsibility of the current Congress and their President – Obamaramadingdong. My information is that these tea bags are NOT being received by your elected elites. Because the bags can contain a potentially hazardous substance, they are being disposed of before delivery. Instead, the current method is to remove the tag from the tea bag and mail that in.

Just think, a typical box of tea bags contains 100 bags of tea. One has the ability to enjoy the tea and send each Senator a tea bag tag from just 1 box. Estimated retail cost $3. Postage on the other hand…

Misleading Pickens Ad

September 26, 2008 Energy, Energy Independence Comments Off

For weeks now I’ve been meaning to pounce on an ad being run by the born again oil man turn eco-opportunist T. Boone Pickens. Pickens is claiming that Iran is switching over their vehicle fuel to clean burning natural gas as if it were a decision based on saving energy. The reason why the oil rich nation is switching over to natural gas is because natural gas is a biproduct of oil exploration and it doesn’t need to be refined. Iran has no refining capacity. Zero refineries. Oil needs to be refined.

In order for Iranians to get gasoline, their crude has to be exported to a refining country and re-imported. Natural gas doesn’t need to be exported and re-imported to be used.

This ad is misleading. This ad is an attack on the intelligence of the American people. And this man is only looking to make a buck for himself AND SanFran Nan. Don’t fall for it.
