In the Corps, we refer to that 10% or more commonly, the "shitbirds." You know the type, they exist in government (especially THIS regime) and in the provate-sector, and are basically people as useless as a condom with the tip cut off. Well, the 20% of Americans who claim to have a mental disease, are not only running this regime, they are also back in the news!
EXCERPT: "Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore said support for corn-based ethanol in the United Stat was "not a good policy", weeks before tax credits are up for renewal. U.S. blending tax breaks for ethanol make it profitable for refiners to use the fuel even when it is more expensive than gasoline. The credits are up for renewal on Dec. 31. Total U.S. ethanol subsidies reached $7.7 billion last year according to the International Energy Industry, which said biofuels worldwide received more subsidies than any other form of renewable energy."
Owl Gore blabbed: "First generation ethanol I think was a mistake. The energy conversion ratios are at best very small. It's hard once such a programme is put in place to deal with the lobbies that keep it going." WHY did owl Gore support it? FOLLOW. THE. MONEY.
"One of the reasons I made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had a certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president."
In other words, Owl Gore supported something that SUCKS, that had RAISED the price of food ALL through the spectrum, in order to collect CAMPAIGN DONATIONS! Dear Eric Holder, the Gunny knows that you're dumb as dog sh*t but WHEN are you gonna indict this clown for massive fraud. He can join the other Ponzi schemer in the slammer.
Ethanol SUCKS, it is pure crap, and America got scammed. Thanks Owl. Love the internet tho.
And the 20% on the Left Coast surfaced again, in a state so deep in debt and mired in abject stupidity, that WE are going to have to bail out the nimrods and FIX what the Dhimmicrats screwed up. Yes, the ghost of Ted DRUNKennedy yammered out in Mexifornia when RINOvenor Schwarzenegger burped up:
"Last year we had a tremendous setback [Climategate] because some of the science and some of the numbers were manipulated and that is very damaging because it gives the other side a way in." Dear Arnie...(IT IS A SCAM! WE. ARE. ON. TO. IT!)
Dear Owl Gore and Ahnuld....
UP YOURS!

If I were Owl I would leave the Science to the Scientist, he has done a great thing by bringing attention to the subject of man made climate change but it is things like this that will forever tarnish his reputation. I cringed when I saw this article this morning. Way to look like a douche owl...facepalm. Either way I really think that we as a society should stop arguing on weather or not "global warming" is real or not, because most of us are not trained to understand the data produced from either side. Because I am not familiar on interpreting patterns of infared radiation patterns over the pacific ocean and I doubt many of you are either. I think that we all should acknowledge that the earth has its limits just like anything else. We have been losing spices to extinction with every passing year and its time to realize that it will only be a matter of time before we are one of those lost.
ReplyDeleteIt was proven that it costs so much to make, that it is not worth it. It uses more energy to make than could ever be saved.
ReplyDeletefrankie,
ReplyDeleteI have disagreed on the global warming/cooling/climate disruption scam from the outset.
I was a PFC in the Corps when the eggheads moaned that all of the planets were lining up, the first time in recorded history and we'd all die, etc, etc. Nothing happened. (1979)
I remember when Newsweak whined in the 70's about the coming ice age.
The NY Obama Times was whining about it in the late 1880's!
Here is a great site: www.globalwarminghoax.com
Also, Lord Monckton has a lot of info and has wanted to debate Owl for decades, but Owl dodges him at every turn.
And don't forget, there are new species discovered every day but that does not get reported because it ain't sexy. The dying polar bears pulls those heartstrings better.
H.L. Mencken said it best: The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.
THAT sums up the ProgStats agenda perfectly.
Nanna,
ReplyDeleteYep, a TOTAL waste of time and effort and crops. And food prices are going UP because of it. Why?
CONTROL.
Asshat Al,the Fraudacle,is just worried his scam is up,NO MORE bushel baskets of money coming HIS way. Couldn't happen to one more deserving of scorn and derision.
ReplyDeleteRe the salute. DITTO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteclyde,
ReplyDeleteHe's MORE worried about Issa investigating his scam.
Navyvet,
ReplyDeleteTimes TWO brother.
Frankie,
ReplyDeleteCheck your facts. 97% of the earth's species were extinct before the industrial revolution. In other words, they died off in spite of man.
The idea that we mere mortals can legislate the climate is ludicrous. One volcano popping off shitcans any so called earth-friendly remedies concocted by the enviro-nuts. Try legislating the volcanoes.
Further, decades of tree-humper inspired legislation has actually hurt mankind. Think DDT. Malaria born mosquitoes have killed hundreds of thousands in Africa. Now DDT is considered “not-so-bad”. Duh!!
Polar Bear populations have soared in the Arctic due to less sea ice. They are practically over-running Gunny and Palin all the while the ice in the Antarctic has been growing.
The left convieniently ignores that Greenland was actually “green” at one time for about 500 years and that the Vikings inhabited it for 300 years but were driven out by an ice age 700 years ago.
It’s called climate cycles.
Hardnox,
ReplyDeleteThe polar bear population has soared and the Feds STILL slapped them on the endangered species list, heedless of what state F&G officials said. Typical.
I was reading about a year ago that "global warming" uncovered an ancient silver mine in Switzerland that still had the tools inside!
Hardnox, I would be very interested as to where you got that stat from. I have never heard that before and if true would prove a great point. But lets say that its true, wouldnt you want to save the last 3% of biodiversity that we have left? I want my children to be able to witness a tiger in the wild, or watch elephants roam through fields. According to the fossil record through out history we have lost naturally about one species per million per year due to extinction. As of lately we have been losing about 27000 per year. If we continue on this trend we are heading towards a mass extinction. And Gunny you are right there are many species that are discovered each year, I did a quick check and there were about 7000 discovered in 2006. Not nearly enough to account for the almost 27000 that we are losing each year. We can debate the severity of effect we are having on climate but one thing we cannot even debate on is the fact that humans DO have the ability to effect the world we live in. If we agree on that I think we could come to acceptable limits on human output to satisfy each side.
ReplyDeletefrankie,
ReplyDeleteI disagree on how humans are affecting the earth. For example, the Coelacanth was thought to be extinct for a few million years, until one was caught off of Africa in 1938. Now, I can buy it in the fish market! (Just kidding)
I checked a few of the sites re: extinction rates and they are all "leftist" sites and since the lef has lied so much re: Climategate, they have lost any credibility.
Rest assured, your kids will have animals to eyeball. The problem with extinction rates is it is all computer model driven and "estimates" and we all know how we that worked for Owl Gore and East Anglia.
For example, we now have more trees than ever, more polar bears, etc.
WE are good stewards of the Earth but I cannot say the same for the other nations, i.e., China, Thailand, PI, Congo, etc, and you cannot MAKE them do it, the UN cannot make them do it, and Obama can't heal them and make them do it.
I believe in a Creator who says: "Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave."
Yes I hunt, I fish, and I feed birds, squirrels, ducks, ravens (they are HUGE up here), stray cats (the OTHER white meat), etc.
Not much said any more but years ago it was fashionable in the very liberal upper elite social circles to stad around over cocktails and tell what "my psychiatrist" said last session. It was chic to have a shrink on your payroll...
ReplyDeleteYeah
In the Navy we said, "There's always that 10% that doesn't get the word."
It ain't like the P.O.D. was printed in sanskrit or something. They just never got the word.
Stray cats the other white meat?!?!? BLAHAHAHAHA!!! Well put sir, well put indeed! And as far as sites for extinction rates, I found mine on PBS. Not sure how that one ranks according to bias but that was my source so take from it what you will.
ReplyDeleteFrankie,
ReplyDeleteAlthough you asked Hardnox,
check this article
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Part-3-What-constitutes-o-by-Frosty-Wooldridge-101019-111.html
As for taking care of trees and such, enviro nuts in southern New Mexico kept a sawmill from harvesting trees that had parasites in them and ended up killing all those trees (all the trees in that stand became infected), closing the sawmill, and costing a bunch of jobs.
frankie,
ReplyDeletePBS is bought and paid for by Soros. He "donated" a million bucks for them to hire journalists. Now WHO do you think they take their orders from?
When it comes to science, I want hard facts and figures, verified. I don't believe computer models, say-so, conjecture, estimates, etc.
Always remember, "facts are stubborn things!"
Packrat,
ReplyDeleteThanks for replying to Frankie. The article makes my point. It is an interesting read.
Frankie,
Reading your posts and Gunny’s replies I can see that you are on your way to becoming a conservative because you have an open-mind. Good for you.
Most liberals do not want to have a conversation outside of their own safety area and as a result never learn anything. You on the other hand have a curiosity that is commendable.
Liberals love to claim that they own the franchise on intelligence and the “big tent” of diversity but accept no discourse whatsoever. Here are some examples:
1 - When a Black conservative speaks out against the Welfare System he is automatically labeled an “Uncle Tom” by the left. Bill Cosby, Thomas Sowell, Star Parker, Walter E. Williams come to mind. There are many more.
2 - When Sarah Palin got bashed by the liberal media for being stupid it is reiterated by every lefty. However when asked to substantiate their claim they cannot come up with anything other than an SNL skit. The left is horrified by her because she is beautiful, smart and conservative. I’m not suggesting that she is POTUS material yet but we could do far worse and we have.
3 - When I engage a lefty in a discussion and I back my arguments with facts and sources I always get a “whatever” response as they walk away. So much for liberal “big-tent” thinking.
4 – Whenever a radio or TV personality exposes a liberal lie, the left, without exception, always attacks the messenger never the message. Listen for it. The left can never expect support for their policies without subterfuge or a false narrative.
As the Gunny points out, 20% of the population suffers from mental illness and 20% of our fellow Americans claim liberalism. Coincidence?
The bottom line Frankie is that when you wander off the reservation your fellow liberals will vilify you.
My question is – are these really your friends?
When you decide to play on our side of the fence please know that you are welcome.
Hardnox,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I agree. When we convert a lefty, they must be welcomed with open arms (and watched for any backsliding! haha).
