The Forthcoming [Fraudulent] Global Warming Tax

The Telegraph has published a very informative article regarding the actual costs of upcoming Cap & Trade programs (read "taxes") in both the UK and the USA. Current estimates are as follows:

• UK: £760 per household every year for four decades
• USA: $4,500 per household every year (duration not provided)

Talk about kicking a person when they're down! This is the full intent of Gordon Brown and Barack Obama toward their citizens.

And remember, this is all to "fight" a "problem" that a growing number of skeptics say does not exist. Gordon Brown, who has come close to bankrupting Britain during his reign as the Exchequer and now as the Prime Minister, clearly DOES NOT CARE. Watch for Barack Obama to leave a very similar legacy. :-(

Update: Later in the day I discovered that Lord Christopher Monckton discussed this very subject with Roy Green. You can listen to it here, beginning at 6:00.

The Delusions of the Left

I just heard a guy on the radio say that all conservative political parties are doomed because "smarter, more well educated people" only vote for left-of-center parties.

Really? This might be the nightly wet dream of Leftists the world over but I don't think it holds even a tiny degree of truth.

I wonder how this fellow would explain the massive landslide against his favoured Leftist thinking yesterday in California?!? Oh wait, facts don't actually matter for people like him so such results are irrelevant.

Report Card on the American MSM: D-

Here's a very interesting editorial from Rex Murphy. One thing that he doesn't touch upon however is what has quickly become the key ingredient for Obama & Co. to do WHATEVER they want: The vast majority of the MSM refusing to criticize, or even just mildly question, ANYTHING that the Administration is doing.

I have absolutely no reason to compare Obama with Hitler or Stalin BUT I do wonder if there are some parallels with the MSM today and the press in Germany & Russia respectively when those two aforementioned tyrants took over.

May I offer a prediction? The Obama Administration doesn't appear to like even the mildest form of dissent so I do believe that over the rest of this year we are going to witness underhanded attempts to try to curtail both Fox News and conservative talk radio. It won't be done directly of course but through their legions of brown shirts .... ummmm, I mean "3rd Party Loyalists".

Dangerous times we're living in.

The Real Face of the Obama Administration

This story caught my attention. There's MUCH MORE to this story which has not yet been mentioned. Please do yourself a favour and download this podcast. Then tune to 54:00 and listen. Listen carefully.

What you'll hear is Mark Levin replay a segment from a Detroit radio station where a lawyer working on behalf of the financial lenders to Chrysler describes the Backroom Thugocracy that is the Obama Administration.

Just imagine that you lent, in good faith, a bunch of money to a company. And part of the terms of your loan were that you would be paid back first. Then one day the government comes along and threatens to attack you via the media, which they have de facto control over.

Do you think that's legal? Do you think it's remotely ethical?

A final point to consider: Hedge funds often represent the pensions of large unions. So if you still support Obama on this issue then make no mistake that you are condemning hundreds of thousands of teachers and other union members to certain financial hardship.
