The Climate change conference is long gone, but with Christmas just around the corner, I figured there had to be a connection.
As President Obama says, let's be clear: that comical Copenhagen conference wasn't about science, it was about wealth transfer. The gist: because of America's "hyper-industrialization," we need to pay off poor countries for all the harm we've caused in the world. That's the real green in the green movement: It's cash, not grass.
What's this have to do with Christmas? Well, I think the world has forgotten that the biggest gift to this planet is America's industry - and it's time to remind them where they would be without it.
1. Whenever a horrible disaster hits, they would be dead. Be it an earthquake, a tsunami or a Madonna tour - we're usually the first and biggest responders - saving the injured, and helping to rebuild. It is because of our tremendous capability to mobilize quickly that makes us a nation of superheroes. It also takes planes, trucks and tractors to do that stuff. Imagine that carbon footprint!
2. If they ever get sick, they would be dead. It's true. While critical cretins like Chavez and Mugabe actually harm their own people, we save millions of strangers' lives. Even that bozo called Bono admits it was George Bush who helped prevent the death of millions of Africans from AIDs. Yeah - I know what our critics will say: it's easy for America to do this stuff. Well, it's even easier not to do it.
3. If their family is hungry, they would be dead. Let's not forget Norman Borlaug, who invented disease resistant wheat, saving hundreds of millions of lives in India and Pakistan. You can only do that if you're of an industrial mind - thinking about people, not polar bears.
4. If they're under the thumb of fascism, they would be dead. We possess the greatest military technology in the world, and we've used it to end horrible wars. Our industry of annihilation gave new life to many countries.
In sum, the very people complaining about America would not be alive, if it weren't for America. Which is why, I say to them: Merry Christmas.
(It sure beats a pair of socks.)
Story out of New York.
We have a criminal criminal - who really should have either been in jail or shot and killed by someone a long time ago - who massacred three members of a family last Thursday afternoon.
It was something to pass the time, I suspect, with all the heroin they found in the apartment. Hector Quinones shot and killed two, stabbed another to death, wounded one woman and then chased a 28-year-old woman out onto the fire escape where she was screaming for help.
Doggone the luck, it seems that Quinones liked to wear baggy pants.
As he went out on the fire escape his pants went to his ankles.
He tripped; went over the railing and fell three floors to his death.
There he was, all dead and stuff, with his pants around his ankles.
A witness told police that he "was very dead."
Well, at least thats the end of that particular sperm pool.
As I said .. gotta love it.
.... unless you're a completely brain-dead, government-education ObamaMyrmidon, that is.
Some of you have read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. If you read the book you'll know who John Galt is, and you'll know about Galt's strike. Doesn't just such a strike sound like a wonderful idea right now? Just think what would happen if the free-market producers in this country just told Obama and the big-government crowd that they were going to take one month off? One month in which they will produce absolutely nothing, play absolutely nobody, and earn not one penny. Wow! Wouldn't that be a site to behold?
Anyway ... in Rand's book a distinguished brain surgeon decided to join Galt's strike. Here's what he had to say. Read this and you'll know why so many people just love Atlas Shrugged:

Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged |
I quit when medicine was placed under State control, some years ago," said Dr. Hendricks. "Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I would not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything - except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the 'welfare' of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, only 'to serve.' That a man who's willing to work under compulsion is too dangerous a brute to entrust with a job in the stockyards - never occurred to those who proposed to help the sick by making life impossible for the healthy. I have often wondered at the smugness with which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind - yet what is it that they expect to depend on, when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of a man who resents it - and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn't." ----------
My favorite line in that excerpt? This one: Cut it out, memorize it, place it on your bathroom mirror so you see it every morning. It beautifully applies to our modern-day politicians as ....
....men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun.
Wouldn't you have just loved to see Ayn Rand do a talk show?
Christmas always reminds me of the time I discovered there was no Santa Claus. I woke up around 1 a.m., and wandered from my bed into the living room where I found my dad in his pajamas laying out presents under the tree. He told me to go back to bed, and I did - but I was crushed to see the illusion destroyed. So much so, it still bugs me - and it happened ages ago. Well, more like a year, and it really wasn't my dad - it was a drifter I picked up in a Port Authority restroom - but the story still stands as a metaphor for health care.
Like a make believe Santa, the Democrats came in at 1am, sliding down the chimney with a bag full of crap. Like a phony Santa, the health care bill cannot arrive in broad daylight - or you'll expose the illusion. The same thing can be said for that "non-binding legal agreement" Obama took with him from Copenhagen. He should have just brought us clogs.
And you know, both examples are a lot like the type of gifts you get from selfish relatives who really wanted the gifts themselves.
A. The health care bill is like a puppy. The purchaser buys it for himself, really -as an ego boost to see how excited the kids gets. Then of course, the gift-giver is nowhere in sight when it's time to paper train and feed the money-sucking furball. That's health care - except health care reform will crap over more than just the carpet.
B. The climate change agreement is a less destructive but an utterly hopeless kind of present - it's a gift card for a store you want nothing from. Think Sharper Image, except everything needs to be wound up before it falls apart. Just because Uncle Gore owns stock in it, he thinks you should be grateful. Believe me, that gift card is going nowhere except the drawer where you keep the stray UNO cards.
The upside with Christmas?
You can return everything.
If we could only do the same with this crap.
And if you disagree with me you're a homophobic planet-hating racist.
Have you heard about this "Robin Hood" gambler? It's a wealthy many that uses his skills of gambling to win money for families who have fallen on hard times. Sounds like a standup guy. I'm not knocking him. But I am knocking this story that appears on FoxNews.com. Read this little paragraph and tell me what is wrong:
He then flew Kurt, Megan and Madison Kegler to Las Vegas first class, putting them up in a luxurious suite, taking them to shows, treating them to expensive meals and spa treatments. And this modern-day Robin Hood was true to his word, taking from the rich and giving to the less fortunate, handing 35 grand to the shocked and nearly speechless couple who went home with pocketfuls of $100 bills and newfound hope for the future.
Well, you know I'm going to rant for a minute here about this "less fortunate" crap. There's a reason the left has promoted the use of this "less fortunate" term. To categorize the poor as "less fortunate" is to say that those who are doing well are in that position because they were "fortunate," or lucky. Success has nothing to do with hard work and good decision making .. it's all a matter of luck. You make it, you're just lucky. You end up poor .. awww, too bad. What awful luck for you.
For the most part the poor in this country are right were they are because they put themselves there. It wasn't a matter of luck. These people didn't somehow miss the graces of "good fortune." When you ignore your educational opportunities, drink and do drugs, fail to develop a work ethic and constantly blame others for your situation and end up in poverty ... well, you've earned it. Nothing to do with luck.
OK .. now to this Robin Hood stuff. Robin Hood did NOT take from the rich and give to the poor.
Robin Hood took from the GOVERNMENT and gave to the poor.
His whole shtick was taking money from government which had stolen from the people and returning that money to those who earned it.
Sorry to bust your bubble here, but Robin Hood had nothing to do with rich and poor. It was about trying to hold government in check.
So many in the media are delighting in the stupidity of the Jersey Shore cast. Just recently, Jay Leno had them on a quiz bowl, and the audience - buoyed by their own perceived superiority - chortled at their various mistakes.
But I ask: who's dumber: the Jersey Shore cast, or those who call the Jersey Shore cast dumb?
The answer is the latter, which i think means "paddlefish."
First off, when did these kids ever pass themselves off as smart? Did they ever say they were members of Mensa? Of course not: the only pompous jerks who tell you they're in Mensa - are in Mensa.
Also, it's not like these kids ever showed up in front of the cameras, clutching their diplomas from Cornell's agricultural college - like some MSNBC hosts are known to do. No, they're only proud of their abs. So what. None of that stuff affects you. The fact that they're honest about their shallowness already puts them on an intellectual level higher than Sean Penn and Gynneth Paltrow, combined.
Look, I admit the dudes are knuckleheads, and the women are mindless lushes. The random violence is gross. It's disgusting.
But we know it's disgusting.
In my mind, far more dangerous is the crap that's just as disgusting, but passes itself off as enlightening. I'm not just referring to The View or the Huffington Post - but also the Climate Change conference and any CNN special on "Race in America."
Why obsess over some punks slathered in hair gel and fake tan - when you've got Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid with their hands on the wheel?
In sum, lay off the dumb. There's more idiocy in the Situation Room, than there is in the Situation's abs. Yeah, Leno sure made the Jersey folk look silly on his show, but did you see Wolf Blitzer tank on Jeopardy?
Every circus needs a clown, but sometimes it takes a clown to tell the truth.
And so we have Hugo Chavez, the pockmarked prince of all things petulant - paying a visit to the Climate Change conference to rousing, delirious applause.
In sum, Chavez is all about ending "imperial dictatorships," and that "capitalism is the road to hell." He says, "Let's fight against capitalism and make it obey us."
He also said he liked to have sex with goats while Sean Penn watched, but I may have gotten that translation wrong.
Anyway, according to the Herald Sun, all of this was greeted with a standing ovation. And Hugo deserves it - for he's exposing this crap fest for what it is: a massive transfer of wealth from the west, to scumbags like him.
But Chavez wasn't the only one to lecture America on how evil we are. There was Zimbabwe President, Robert Mugabe, who noted that as "these capitalist gods of carbon...belch their dangerous emissions," it's "the lesser mortals of the developing sphere" who die. Yeah, we're the murderers. Not Mugabe - who delighted in the torture, starvation and killing of his own people, for years.
This would all be hilarious- if these creeps didn't have our own leaders on their side. Witness secretary of State Hillary Clinton announcing that our country is ready to create an annual $100 billion climate protection fund to help "address the climate change needs of developing countries."
Where will this money come from?
Well, Hillary wouldn't say - but she didn't have to. There's only one place it can come from - you.
And that's why the Chavez's and the Mugabe's of the world love climate change hysteria so much. To the world's thugs, thieves and murderers, the US becomes that fat tourist in his favorite vacation hat, jingling his change on a street corner.
Easy pickings.
My friend Meredith haz my mug.
They've been warning us about catastrophic climate change for 100 years now... They just can't seem to make up their mind whether its cooling or warming...

The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed, and we are unlikely to quickly regain the "very extraordinary period of warmth" that preceded it. |
If "not soon be reversed" means "reversed by the next decade," then yes. |

The temperature has already fallen back some 0.6 degrees, and shows no sign of reversal. |

Stare at women's breasts for 10 minutes a day and increase your life span by five years, that's the conclusion of a new study.
According to a German research published in the New England Journal of Medicine, men who stare at women's breasts for 10 minutes a day live five years longer.
The study claims that 10 minutes of ogling is equivalent to a 30-minute gym workout.
The finding has been made after an assessment of 200 men over a period of five years, reports Sin Chew Daily and China Press.
The men who stare at women's breasts have lower blood pressure, suffer less cardiovascular disease and have slower heart beat, the Star Online reports.
Gerontologist Dr Karen Weatherby explains that sexual desire leads to better blood circulation meaning improved health.
