Talk about gullible chumps

I love how he gives the liberal, “We’ll destroy the planet!” argument as much weight as the conservative “increasing supply will lower costs” argument. It’s like giving equal weight to the stork in a conversation on reproduction.

Hundreds of oil platforms were lost during Katarina and no major oil spills.

Absolutely no proof to support the statement “Unrestrained burning of fossil fuels will continue to raise global temperatures and contribute to rising sea levels and devastating extreme weather events.” Not only is it a Marxist lie, it is impossible for man is not God and he cannot change the Heavens.

Since, we cut off German’s oil supplies during WWII mankind has been looking for “development of alternative energy technologies.” They said this during Carter in the 1970’s, during Clinton in the 1990’s, and now. So why don’t we have any yet, and what makes anyone think that they will be developed in the next 70 years? This is the thinking of someone who wants something for nothing. Free energy Man, that is what I want! Yet the same environ-Marxist resist or try to eliminate clean renewable energy, LIKE HYDROELECTRIC, because they have prevented the building of more dams and want to tear down those already up.

The ONLY way a Marxist Liberal can make a point is to LIE or ignore the truth. They believe it’s OK to tell a lie to prove a greater truth. How sick.

FDR prolonged the Great Depression - fact

What is missing in this propaganda piece is that:

Just about all of FDR’s new deal was found to be unconstitutional.

That the only people getting jobs were in the districts of his supporters, this was very bad cronyism.

FDR had price support so rigged that a tailor was imprisoned for ironing pants 5 cents less then allowed.

The reason WWII ended the depression was that FDR’s New Deal was thrown out, his laws and regulations trashed, and business were let go of many of the shackles he had placed on them.

FDR raised taxes during a recession, and installed protectionist policies thus blocking free trade. GNP levels during the 1930’s was less than those of 1929, only rising above the 1929 level in 1940.

There was also massive reduction in private capital investments. From 1930 to 1940 net private investments was MINUS $3.1 Billion, as Americans failed to add anything to their capital stock. No economy can grow without capital accumulation.

Read “How Capitalism Saved America” by Thomas J. DiLorenzo.

Father’s Race unusual.

Reading about Obama birth is like reading a mystery novel. It’s not very productive, but it makes you wonder. Can anyone explain why Obama’s COLB list the father as AFRICAN? Africa is a continent not a race, and in 1961 they would have listed his race as NEGRO. Or, why is it that they cannot get straight what hospital he was born in? These are questions my neighbor keeps asking me, and I can’t find an answer to.
