Friday Funny / Quote of the week – the healing rift

Hasn’t sea level dropped since then?

Mann is such a thin skinned maroon.
Romney’s point is that Obama has wasted his Presidency on trying to control the oceans, instead of helping Americans.
Romney is setting a goal to do things that actually help Americans.
Tilting at the oceans should be left for King Canute, Caligula and Obama.
Worrying about the oceans is great for rent seeking folk like Mann.

Romney’s speech already claimed it’s first scalp. He ain’t even in the White House yet.

Romney is a Gaian. He’s doing a good job of reciting random Republican soundbites now, but he’ll return to his true church if he’s elected. They always do.
____________________________
Yes I agree.
All you have to do is read his actual statements to see he supports the belief in CAGW. He represents the Hegalian “Synthesis.” The Political Compromise between the Thesis – CAGW and the AntiThesis – any change in the climate is natural.
He is EXACTLY what Shell, BP, and ENRON were working towards in the first place!
Do not forget Shell, BP, other energy providers and even Exxon have funded CAGW some from the very start.
This is a first person report of ENRON getting into the act.

… My recollection is that it was my first day on the job when I walked into my boss’s office in Enron’s suite across from the White House, smack into a meeting between her and who I now know to be two of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s senior DC officials. OK. But the next day I was tasked with sitting in for “Kenny Boy” [ENRON CEO Ken Lay] at a meeting in fancy New York law firm offices (in DC), around a table of Baptists and Bootleggers, rent-seekers and green puritans, discussing how to ensure a global warming treaty came about, of our collective design, and how to rope the U.S. in.
So, seeing very measured groups like Union of Concerned Scientists on my immediate left, I turned to one of the rent-seekers’ officers on my right, among whom I recall being the American Gas Association, Niagara-Mohawk Power, and BP, among others. In response to my query, “what are we doing sitting around a table with a bunch of people who want to put us out of business?”, I was told with a laugh, “they want to put coal out of business first.”
Lovely people, these folks kind enough to introduce me to the world’s second-oldest profession of trying to make one’s fortune off of policy favors from buddies in government instead of by innovation or competition. Frederic Bastiat, phone your office….
Gore’s Inconvenient Enron

So where is Mitt Romney on Killing Coal and promoting natural gas… with US tax dollars of course.

…“First, I will pursue dramatic regulatory reform to accelerate the exploration and development of oil and gas, to facilitate construction of vital infrastructure and to preserve and expand crucial electricity capacity. I will streamline permitting processes and create fixed timelines….
“We’re using too much oil,” Romney said. “We have an answer. We can use alternative sources of energy — biodiesel, ethanol, nuclear power — and we can drill for more oil here. We can be more energy independent and we can be far more efficient in the use of that energy.” ”

And what is his point of view on Coal?

…“With regards to our developing more energy, I want to see us use more of our renewable resources: bio-diesel, bio-fuel, ethanol, cellulosic ethanol. I want to see us developing liquefied coal if we can sequester the CO2 properly. I want to see nuclear power. I want to see us develop our own oil off-shore, and in Anwar. Let’s develop all the sources we can to provide for our own energy needs and free ourselves of independence on Ahmadinejad, and Chavez and Putin and others that have that oil today….
http://aboutmittromney.com/environment.htm

And what about the use of American Tax dollars to do all this promotion?

“On the other side of the equation, in addition to developing our energy, we have to be more efficient in our use of it. And that means more fuel efficient vehicles. It means more energy efficient homes. The combination of more efficiency and the generation of more domestic-sourced energy will allow us to become energy independent. And we do need an Apollo type project. A Manhattan style project where we put in place the funding necessary to seriously get on track to becoming truly energy independent. And that has as the benefit, of reducing our emissions of CO2.” http://aboutmittromney.com/environment.htm

So as usual we get the choice that is not really a choice and continue to move in the direction the sheep herding wolves are directing us.
For where that destination is check out this VIDEO on UN Agenda 21 implementation in the USA by a California bureaucrat. I see nothing in Romney’s rhetoric to make me think he is actually “off message” all that has been done is a bit of repackaging. Obama was the extreme to scare us into a compromise that is further along the chosen path then we would have agreed to go of our own free will.
From GRIST of all places.

Everyone knows that “Obamacare” was modeled on Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health-care law. But did you know that a key Obama “smart growth” initiative — the Partnership for Sustainable Communities — was also created in the mold of a Romney program?

Mitt Romney: Smart Growth Champion?
“Smart Growth” and “Sustainable Development” are the code words for UN Agenda 21. You will not find anything saying Mitt supports Agenda 21 but you will find references that he supports “Smart Growth” and “Sustainable Development.”
Unfortunately voting for a third candidate is only a vote FOR Obama so with the greatest of reluctance I will hold my nose ad cast a vote for Romney. At least with a first four year term he will try not to be too outrageous. Meanwhile the real fight is getting those Official State Ban on UN Agenda 21.

Obama should read Shelley’s poem Ozymandias…

The pro-AGW BBC cut the precursor “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet,” from the “My promise is to help you and your family.” quote….
Sickening really.

Oops – MSNBC!
____________________
What is hysterical is MSNBC is owned by General Electric. But then General Electric’s CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, Is head of Obama’s highly touted “Jobs Council”,

….[ Jeffrey Immelt] is moving even more GE infrastructure to China. GE makes more medical-imaging machines than anyone else in the world, and now GE has announced that it <b."is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing". Apparently, this is all part of a “plan to invest about $2 billion across China” over the next few years. But moving core pieces of its business overseas is nothing new for GE. Under Immelt, GE has shipped tens of thousands of good jobs out of the United States. Perhaps GE should change its slogan to “Imagination At Work (In China)”. If the very people that have been entrusted with solving the unemployment crisis are shipping jobs out of the country, what hope is there that things are going to turn around any time soon? GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, The Head Of Obama’s Jobs Council, Is Moving Jobs And Economic Infrastructure To China At A Blistering Pace

I hope Mitt has plans for picking someone who is not so visibly a mismatch for that job.

President Obama, 2009:
“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children … this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”
Whilst his current campaign slogan is ‘Forward’, Our Dear Leader made many thing go
‘Barack-ward’,!…

I just came across this article reporting on a PEW report showing:
* middle class has shrunk drastically over the last 10 years
* Americans’ net worth has plunged (dropped from $129,582 to $93,150 )
* wages declined
* standards of living slipped
* household wealth declined by 35 percent to $66,740 between 2005 and 2010
* median family net worth dropped from $126,400 to $77,300 (2007 – 2010)
* median household income has fallen from $72,956 to $69,487 (2001 – 2010)

Pew’s survey found more of the middle class support Obama’s policies than Romney’s.
More than half (52 percent) of those polled said Obama’s policies would help the middle class in a second term, while 39 percent say they would not. Forty-two percent said Romney would benefit middle income Americans if elected, while 40 percent say his policies would not help, the survey showed….
Researchers said they found that “neither candidate has sealed the deal with them”….
….62 percent of respondents said Congress deserved “a lot” of the blame for the nation’s economic troubles over the past decade, while 29 percent blamed lawmakers “a little.” Banks and financial institutions as well as large corporations were also largely at fault…
… the recent Great Recession that officially ran from December 2007 to June 2009, ending just six months into Obama’s first term….

The brain washing seems to still be holding strong unfortunately.
