Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Juliet Eilperin and Steve Mufson of The Washington Post have a column today, “Climate Bill Underlines Obstacles to Capping Greenhouse Gases.” I suppose this column would be more aptly described as an unpaid ad for the Lieberman-Warner S.2191 (which should be called the Environmental Socialism Act of 2007.)

When the Senate takes up landmark climate legislation this week, its backers can be sure of just one thing: The obstacles they face show how hard it will be to enact a meaningful cap on greenhouse gases — probably under the next administration.

The next administration, not this one, because even supporters of the complex, extensively negotiated 494-page bill say that there is little chance that it will win Senate approval, less chance that the House will agree on a similar measure and perhaps no chance that President Bush will sign it if it reaches his desk.

“In some ways, this is a dress rehearsal for next year, but I still think it will be a useful thing for the Senate and Congress, because at some point we have to deal with it,” said Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (D-N.D.), who says he has yet to decide how he will vote.

So our senators are earning their pay performing dress rehearsals? I suppose it could be worse, they could actually be passing the devastating legislation! I wonder who will pay the $1.2 trillion the CBO estimates the law would bring into the federal government? Don’t worry about giving your money to the government however, because the CBO also estimates that they will do what they do best and spend most of it ($1.13 trillion.) Of course actual spending would probably be considerably more as this is our inept, bloated, bureaucratic nightmare government we are discussing.

It is not difficult to see that this plan’s affect on American manufacturing is potentially devastating. I assume that people who support this bill, like the libiots at The Washington Post, believe that American manufacturing is too strong and needs to be put in its place. Maybe someone should investigate whether or not the Chinese government contributed to the election funds of these libiot senators. This bill obviously would benefit Chinese manufacturers at the expense of American companies. Hey union members, keep supporting the Demonrats as they push you out of a job by pandering to the Environmental Socialists and for good measure, flood the labor pool with illegal aliens!

Perhaps the supporters are looking out for the common man, you know (as Barry Obama says at the beginning of almost every sentence) the people whose livelihoods might depend on producing, selling, or servicing manufactured products. That would make sense in a sick and twisted (in other word, libiot) way. If the goal is to have a socialist society, a certain amount of dependence on the government is required. Perhaps we have already stepped off the cliff as related to government dependence, since there seems to be so little public outrage any time the government, federal or state, snatches another chunk of our liberty. Do people actually desire the life of standing in line for food rations, gas rations, or Vodka rations? Oh, I forgot to include Carbon rations!

The three libiot presidential candidates support this treacherous intrusion upon our independence and barring a miracle (McCain saying “just kidding” and stepping aside at the convention) it is too late to hope that there will be a president that respects this nation’s independence or its Constitution. Barry Obama is possibly the most frightening of the three as his “hope” for “change” is almost overtly communist (more on that to come.) McCain’s idea of “straight talk” is to say the things he hopes the media and his liberal counterparts want to hear on issues other than spending and the war. Hillary is still included and will be until we find out if she sues the DNC for her party’s nomination.

In my humble opinion, the best way to deal with the cap and trade issue is to cap carbon dioxide emissions. I would limit the capping to those coming from government buildings and campaign events. It might also be useful to cap those emissions generated by the parrot press corps. It would be truly pleasant if the Marxist libiots would shut the hell up, thus limiting their own CO2 emissions. If that were to happen, the American people might see things as they are as opposed to as the socialists would have us believe.It would appear that most Americans are too busy to pay attention to the intrusions of government, but if the CO2 emissions of the libiots aren’t capped, many of us will be out of work and have more free time on our hands.

As for the trade portion of cap and trade, I would love to see the Marxist libiots traded to Venezuala or some other nation where they would be more comfortable for people that cherish liberty.
