“For the bureaucrat, the world is a mere object to be manipulated by him” Karl Marx
Almost 70% of Americans now believe gas prices are a bigger problem than global warming. So, President Bush recently lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling. Republicans support domestic drilling while continuing to explore and improve alternative energy technology. [Read more…]

“You’d have to be an intellectual to believe something like that. No one else would be such a fool!” George Orwell
The circus created by the liberal carnival barker has illustrated Liberalism is a severely flawed ideology. Obama and his loyal minions have shown how Liberals become unhinged when their pursuit of power or grip on government is challenged. They morph into moral pretzels, make ignorant assertions or avoid the point trying to defend their Marxist ideals. Think not?
Notice the illogical meandering when liberals try to defend, justify or rationalize the policies of FDR, the calamities of the imbecilic Carter, the immorality and corruption of the Clinton’s or the foolishness of Obama. They ignore that fact that FDR implemented Marxist economics that escalated a recession to the decade long “Great Depression”; and during the 1970’s Carter’s answer to the energy and economic crisis was to wear sweaters and tax oil companies, requiring a new economic measurement, the misery index.

We just got a health warning because of the smoke from 1200 wildfires, and the State Air Resources Board voices its goal of slashing emissions by 30 percents by 2020. The scheme is based on increasing utility bills and on blackmailing businesses. Often, in the morning, when my kids fight over the newspaper’s weather page, I tell them to look outside. Look at that smoke!
Every year, wild fires destroy millions of oxygen generating trees because some believe in the unconditional protection of the forests. As a result, sanctuaries are not regularly cleaned; fuel packs up below the trees, waiting for the right spark that will turn everything to ashes before the erosion of the charred sterile soil begins. It is not nuclear science: trees transform carbon in oxygen while fires generate smoke and carbon; eventually, rotting dead trees will also release carbon.
The board should focus on fire prevention and forest maintenance and protection. Human activities and fuel fossil burning have historically been presented as the main responsible for the Green house effect that causes Global warming. Last year, the fires in San Diego released in one week 25% of the CO2 that the whole of California releases in one month. In 2002, 7 million acres of forest burnt to the ground and in 1997, the Indonesian fires were credited for the tens of thousands of tons of CO2 that made that particular year the worst ever in co2 emission.
While we point fingers at fossil fuel for Global Warming, we conveniently avoid talking about these wildfires that have become more destructive than ever in human history because of the laws put in place to protect our forests: no logging, no cleaning, no access at all in sanctuaries, fuel amassing on the ground. These restrictions have caused more damages ever and for the first time in century, fire resistant forest have burn to the ground, literally gone in smoke.
It is easy to remember, and so logical:
Where will your children be?
