Daily Rant – January 29, 2009
January 29, 2009
After Congressional Republicans and 11 Democrats voted against the pork-filled “stimulus” bill it gave me some hope. Not much, but some. Although most of the politicians were voting to save their jobs, not because it’s what they believe in, at least they did the right thing for America.
We have had recessions before and have never had to solve them by the massive government spending Democrats are proposing. So why would it help now? And it drives me nuts that the public just doesn’t pay attention. They get their 10 minutes of news at night on world affairs from a biased press corps. And most of the time, the controversial stuff isn’t even mentioned. But at least we know how Tom and Katie are doing.
Global Climate Change
We used to call it weather. In fact we’re thinking about offering another bumper sticker:
Global Climate Change is called WEATHER!
Don’t put it on your Mercedez though. You could get keyed, especially in California, center for FREE SPEECH! You know how touchy those open-minded liberal lefties are in San Francisco.
Now we are being taxed and regluated by people on the premise that we can actually control the WEATHER!!! Scientists don’t even UNDERSTAND how weather works, let along know how to control it!
So what’s the real reason? Zero growth is one. Getting rid of oil is another. Now if you asked those people, “If you found out tomorrow that oil is reproduced by gravity and it actually doesnt pollute, would you support it?” No would be the answer. It’s them being against something because they are against it. They are for electric vehicles even though the windmills kill thousands of birds every year.
Consensus is not science. Many years ago, there was a consensus that the world was flat. There was also a consensus that the earth was the center of the universe. There was also a consensus that blacks were not really people and so it was okay to make them slaves. In Nazi Germany there was a consensus that Jews were the cause of all their problems and thus were exterminated by the millions. If anything, consensus is BAD and STUPID!
I’m kind of all over the place this morning, but I wanted to continue my rant. Tomorrow will be more coherent, I promise.
