Hey Sucka I Done Popped a Cap (and trade) in Yo Ass

Any thinking person knows Cap and Trade isn’t about saving the planet or reducing carbon emissions (even if that were necessary). Instead it is about a small group of elite making a bunch of money.

I’m sure all here have noticed in the last nine to twelve months the term global warming has given way to terms like climate change and climate chaos. This gives proponents the ability to “bob and weave” more than Walter Peyton in his heyday. So it won’t matter that more and more scientists reject the theory of man-made global warming. The proponents will still be able to alter the course of their argument to fit current circumstances. They will always be able to point to some problem of the moment and say “that is what we are aiming to fix.”

Some big corps like GE and some big banks like Goldman Sachs are poised to make hundreds of millions trading carbon credits. And like Al Gore they can claim, “Well the program is necessary for the planet but we wouldn’t be responsible to our shareholders if we didn’t take advantage of the business opportunity. Because if we didn’t do it someone else would. Even republicans can’t argue with free enterprise.” Oddly enough there are a lot of people who spent (or are still spending) many years in prison for doing the same thing with stocks - creating markets.

It’s all a sham wrapped up in political correctness.

And isn’t it interesting that, just like GM and Chrysler, AIG seems headed for bankruptcy. The initial reason given for bailing these companies out was so they wouldn’t have to go into bankruptcy. Too funny, because by now it should be obvious to anyone with a brain the size of a brontosaurus the whole thing was an ingenious manipulation - obtain a huge stake in the companies with taxpayer money and, once that was accomplished, force them into bankruptcy so this administration could structure that bankruptcy to be profitable for their friends and political supporters - like the unions. And they can do this while all the while saying they are looking out for the interests of the American taxpayers.

Down here in Florida it has been pretty hot for the last week or so - two to five degrees above what they say is “normal” for this time of year. A lot of people I know were saying they didn’t remember it being this warm this early. But I went back to look at the stats and surprise, surprise, no new records were set. In fact one day when it got to 97 degrees the record high of 98 was set in 1997 and the record low of 68 was set in 2004.

I wish people would take the little time it actually requires to research the facts. But they won’t. So from now on I will refer to the great masses who vote with their “feelings” instead of their brains as “fuzidiots” (pronounced fuh-zid-ee-uts) - people who are more interested in feeling warm and fuzzy than doing something logical or rational.

As I have mentioned before - when even the possibility of a higher power is taken out of the equation you are at the point where every problem is man made and man is responsible for (if not capable of) fixing it. That is very dangerous. I can just see it now - instead of global warming these brainiacs decide the earth is cooling so they go out to the pacific and drop an A-bomb down a volcano to cause an eruption in order to spew more CO2 into the atmosphere in an attempt to warm the planet up.

Get ready boys and girls. They are ready to pop a cap in Mother Nature's ass, but as the old Chiffon margarine advertisement used to say, “It's not nice to fool (with) Mother Nature.” And I agree because if she decides to pop a cap back it ain't gonna be pretty - and probably not survivable.
