Liberal Lunacy in the Olympics?

Where will the Liberal lunacy end on global warming? This year I am looking forward to watching the Winter Olympics. It is not about the medal count, it is about spirited global competition of the world’s best athletes, and of course, a break from all of this political posturing. And I think that actually has a lot to do with why the Winter Games are of so much interest. Burying the hatchet for a few weeks to unite and support athletes in pursuit of their dreams. But no, the lack of Vancouver snow is due to Global Warming. Of course, I should have seen that coming. Rogge, the Olympic Committee President stated, “Global warming of course is a worry, it is a worry for the entire world.” And why would he not given the fact that NBC / GE have billions of TARP funds in their pockets and have been actively lobbying for a global energy tax bill. Pandering to the administration’s agenda as it falls in sync with the Liberal global agenda is to be expected.

Of interest is the blizzard besieging the east coast is due to global warming, as is the lack of snow to the north. As contradictory as this sounds the Liberal lunacy gets far, far better! (Or would that be worse?) There is more protein in heroin. There are always the polar bear stories. How we are killing them with global warming. No mention of course of how polar bears have seen their way through at least two ice cap melts. Beer tastes both better and worse because of global warming. Fish are smaller due to global warming, but then again… fish are bigger due to global warming. But don’t let that confuse you because they can hear you all the better. That’s right, fish ear bones are larger because of global warming. The Atlantic Ocean is both less and more salty because of the effects of global warming.

The idea here is that global warming in our fault. It is our gluttonous lifestyle of waste and maltreatment of the planet that has caused it to warm. Moreover, our production of Co2 gases. 1100 BC was far warmer than temperatures are today, needless to say that we were not emitting Co2 that has become the culprit of current warming.

In the argument of global warming we are fixated on today’s temperatures, not those of the past. This is because they show the cyclic temperature fluctuations of the planet. Such information would further hinder the argument. And we just can’t have that now can we?

If you will notice, temperatures are anticipated to peak in 2038 with the height of the current “hot dry cycle.” No mention of that either with these debates. So what will happen? We will be taxed today for a global climate cycle beyond our control. We are being scared into paying government! (If we fall for it that is.)

Where these guys have gone wrong was their little scheme was altering data. They should have simply allowed the planet to do what it naturally does and ONLY created the mythical enemy of Co2! In the stir they have sent the left wing masses into a frenzy of stupidity.

Danny Glover stated that the life shattering earthquake in Haiti was due to no consensus being reached in Copenhagen. (Global warming.) Stupid!

He looks pretty thoughtful here, but I am sure he is just pondering the next stupid thing to say.

Governor Sebelius stated how she “can feel global warming when she flies.”

She is with Elmo in this picture for a reason obviously, he may not understand how stupid of a comment this was, but anyone with half of a developed brain does.

That fact of the matter is that the Winter Olympics could be a platform for the Liberal agenda and global warming. No opportunity is to go unexploited. What I hear is a great movie, Avatar, went over the top with the tree hugging agenda despite attempts to calm Cameron down. The undertones were even in Monsters Versus Aliens.

Okay, that was actually fairly direct.

In the Olympics too? Is that really necessary? I just want to watch some good old fashioned international competition without the rubbish that plagues everyday life. I don’t think that is asking too much. Do you?

The Irony of the Tillman Act

It was gorgeous spring day. The sun was bright, the breeze was cool and my 8^th grade Political Science / US Constitution teacher was pissing me off! Each word she said made my skin crawl as she vigorously defended the Tillman Act of 1907. “A corporation does not have the voice of a person.” she practically demanded. My argument was simple, “I if own a business I have a voice. If I am a partner of a business we collectively have a voice. A corporation if united by its shareholders whom are often balloted to assess their desires in management and fiscal matters they then have a voice too; even if it pertains to politics.” She again referenced the Tillman Act rather than debate the principle of the argument. Special interests as they are defined today were not the concern.

The bell rang and I dashed out the classroom and downstairs to the locker room to don my running gear as I told the track coach I was not going to make it to practice that day. (I can imagine his confusion given the fact I was dressing to run when I was telling him I couldn’t.) I emptied my back pack a kept a pad of paper and a few pens and darted out the back door. Our in school library was awful, I had to go to high school library; it stayed open until 6:30 on most days, later if the chess club was in there.

The run was up hill and against the flow of the larger, lazier students descending not only from the high school, but for many of them, in life as well. By the time I arrived the last of the high schoolers were trickling out of the main door and down the stairs of the building that more reminiscent of a castle than the public institution of lower learning that it actually was. The library however, was nothing less than spectacular to an eighth grader looking to prove an obnoxious teacher wrong.

I was after the Tillman Act itself. In particular the why behind the Tillman Act. The campaign finance reform that brought the Tillman Act to life was a dark and sorted tale of hate. The Tillman Act sought to financially silence a corporation’s political intentions because they favored Blacks at the time. Politicians were threatened by the fact that a company could dig into their pockets and aid the campaign of a candidate that was supporting a pro Black agenda. The Democrats of course despised this and enacted the Tillman Act in order to maintain their agenda that excluded as many Blacks as possible… to make a long story short.

I was shocked. I was further shocked to learn of the anti Black agenda Democrats were so notorious for. And completely dismayed that my father was a Democrat. That night I wrote the PJ version of a position paper (not knowing the correct format at the time) and handed it to Ms. Davis as soon as I walked into class the next day. She started the class by reading it aloud. Midway through she began to falter. Like many Americans, she simply did not know the origins of the Tillman Act of 1907 and supported it only because it currently existed. She like far too many teachers today, was there to teach was existed, not why it existed, nor whether if what currently existed was right or wrong. A classic example of how schools fail our youth and how our youth fail themselves by not self educating beyond the realm of these oppressive curriculums.

It has been amazing these past weeks. Almost incredible when this same argument is back on the table and shocking that the Supreme Court has actually done the right thing for the right reasons; despite the Liberal and even Conservative lack of popularity. Obama was pleading for an amendment to the Constitution citing this Act has been in place for “over 100 years.” Not whether it was right or wrong; but due solely to the fact it is a huge hindrance to the Democrat agenda – as it has always been. Disgraceful on a personal level, but that’s a completely different discussion.

In my youth, the consequences of such an action could not be seen as far as over turning this act. Clear as day is the concern of special interests. Just as Ms. Davis demonstrated her inept abilities and I sat in an empty library that should have been full due to the youth of America refusing to take that extra step, much could be lost to such a decision. There are things that exist now that did exist when I was such a spirited eighth grader that can be of great benefit to this ruling. Campaign finance disclosure is one of them. A simple click of a mouse these days will tell you everyone who has contributed to a campaign. Special interests will be seen from a mile away and the candidate can be directly challenged on this. Of course this requires effort and that is where the problem lies. Americans are lazy and tend to blindly follow in the worst of ways and can easily fall victim to a highly advertised campaign.

We have reached a point in our destiny that as Americans the free ride is over. Being American now means that one must be responsible, that one must self educate and that one must understand what they want before they ask for anything. Gone forever are the days of birth rite protections of freedom and liberty, clearly they are being robbed before our very eyes each passing day. It is equally clear that if we unitedly do not control our understanding of the candidates and the interests backing them through this decision we all stand to lose not just freedom and liberty, but can easily become enslaved to corporate machine propelling an agenda of equity over constitutionality. Two foes were born of this, the new Liberal agenda and now the political empowerment of special interests. Both have to be kept in check through thorough self education.

Just as I stated as a virile youth, the decision is a constitutionally sound one; it just may not be in our best interests. Accepting or rejecting it is done through understanding what lies beneath the campaigns. I would argue that had there been an Obama 101 course that educated Americans on his writes, his voting history and his previously stated comments on his long term goals; he would have lost 75% of his support. Ignorance is now the enemy more than ever before. Conquering it is now our collective responsibility.

More than one hundred years later, the oppressive design of the Tillman act has fallen victim the Constitution that is was born to circumvent. More than one hundred years it took. Race however, was hardly the issue. From this political posturing is born and our nation’s first “black” president is defending it. Can’t help but to appreciate the irony.
