Little Bit Tired, Little Bit Worn

Naked Emperor News nails Barack Obama again.

This time Naked Emperor has unearthed audio of Barack saying he will bankrupt the coal industry.

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.

That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.

The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.

It’s just that it will bankrupt them.

Bankrupting the coal industry so could put more than one hundred thousand people in the unemployment line, meaning more competition for already hard to find jobs as well as skyrocketing energy costs.

No new coal plants would be built, the cost will prohibit their building.

In the audio Barack said:

every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter

How far would he take this charging (read: taxation) of “polluters”?
You and I are in fact polluters to one extent or the other.

There exist untold number of ways to charge businesses and individuals for their pollution, energy is not the only pollution we produce.

He talks of using the money gathered from the greenhouse emissions tax to finance alternative energies. There are no alternative energies on the table right now that are anywhere near being viable in such a way as to even consider replacing coal.

Any such alternative energies which might hold potential to replace coal are at best more than a decade from viability.

The taxation of greenhouse emissions may in fact generate billions of dollars as he say’s, it will also generate joblessness, individual reliance on government (which I’m sure would please him), given time it isn’t hard to imagine brownouts and rolling blackout across the nation.

America may well make a very disastrous choice this November 4th if they choose Barack Obama to lead this nation.

I am not among the money silly conservatives who believe that Barack Obama is a good and well intentioned man with bad ideas.

I believe the considerable and ever mounting evidence suggests that he is anything but well intentioned and is a man with very specific plans. Plans which mean to make as many Americans as possible dependent, even subservient to the government.

This is my first post on this blog under the new category ‘Liberal Hate’, I expect it is a category that will have many posts under it with in a short period of time.

This picture was posted on Wonkette along with the following commentary:

Little baby Trig must be so glad he wasn’t aborted for this, his first Halloween, because his parents dressed him up like a political party symbol to be carried around at snarling political events. Aww. Isn’t life just grand?

The commentary by itself is bad enough as it is clearly a pro-abortionist taking a shot at Sarah Palin for the fact that she is Pro-Life and that she did not murder a child which the author Jim Newell at least indicates he believes should have been aborted; that said, the real expressions of hate are to be found in the comments section.

The comments were so over the top that the comment section was eventually closed.

If you you follow the link and choose to read the comments section be warned that a good portion of the comments are vulgar and sexual in nature.

Gallup conducted a poll in many nations through out the world asking the poll takers:

Who would you personally rather see elected president of the United States

When the majority of those asked in the Socialist nations of Europe and the Islamic controlled nations say they would rather see Barack Obama elected, then I know a vote for McCain is the right vote.

It isn’t that I do not want America to liked and admired in the world but frankly when nations such as France, Denmark or Saudi Arabia do not like us, I could care less.

When socialists and Islamic extremists do not like us, then I am happy because it indicates that we as a people and our government are doing at least a little something right.

I don’t want the socialist and the Islamic extremists to consider us their friends.
I want them to know that we stand opposed to their ideologies, opposed to their worldviews.

Despite our many flaws as a people and as a government, the United States is still that shining city on a hill.

I take great pride in the fact that we are not like the French, we are not like the Saudi Arabians.
We are Americans.

Vote McCain and piss off a Frenchy!

I admit I’m not to keen on the thought of you, Barack Obama, being the president of these United States of America, but these last couple of weeks every time you and your buddy Joe open your yaps you really weird me out.

You got Slow Joe Biden out there telling us that something major is going to take place in the first six months of your administration. He makes it sound like hell is going to rain down and you, the messiah, are going to save our sorry, needful, can’t do for ourselves, butts.

The conspiracy theorist in me has got his eye’s peeled for a generated crisis.

Then you go out on your stupid infomercial and tell us that you are going to “rebuild the military”, to top it off you add the following:

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded

What the crap is that?
Has a kind of freaky “Fahrenheit 451″ sound to it.

Holy hell it sounds like some crazy force of armed civilian code enforcers.
99% of my mind tells me this is not what you mean, but there is that 1% that just isn’t too sure.

As I looked into this further it seems that this IS NOT the first time you have made mention of such a security force. Doesn’t surprise me that the media has made little to no mention of this.

I have found at least four references to you having previously made this same statement, none of those four are from the MSM (surprise).

American Thinker a July, 2008 article.
Hot Air also from July, 2008.
World Net Daily September, 2008.
A second article from World Net Daily.
It’s the last article that will inform us just what might meant by a ‘Civilian national security force’, not that there is much comfort in this possible explanation either.

I am more inclined to believe the take of The American Thinker article which say’s:

It seems clear that he meant to say, in effect, that the security of the nation is as dependent on its unarmed community service providers as it is on its armed military personnel. Even the nomenclature “corps,” as in Peace Corps, carries a martial connotation as does the name, Salvation Army. His point: national security begins with civilians. It’s a message like the one America’s home front heard throughout World War II. Except in his case, he means to marshal volunteers for social service and economic equality while saving the environment.

“Because the future of our nation depends on the soldier at Fort Carson, but is also depends on the teacher in East LA, the nurse in Appalachia, the after-school worker in New Orleans…”

That is, of course, true. But ultimate national security requires someone to carry, and, if necessary, discharge a deadly weapon with intent to kill. This is something teachers, nurses and after-school workers are typically unaccustomed to doing as part of their service obligations.

The article continues:

Voters haven’t paid much attention to his “Service” plan because the old news media has ignored it. That will likely continue, even though Obama attached an approximate price tag to it in Colorado Springs. When Obama said that the “civilian national security force” would be just as “well-funded” as the Armed Forces, he stepped squarely into the giant sandbox and played with the big numbers. As the late Carl Sagan said, “billions and billions” of dollars. Here’s how.

The FY 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) budget is about $482 billion. Obama has announced his intentions to cut “tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending,” including $9 billion per month spent in Iraq and expenditures for the missile defense system, while increasing the force size of the Army and Marine Corps.

Let’s imagine “tens of billions” in cuts eventually adds up to a whopping $150 billion. That would be a near one-third cut in defense spending, taking the DoD budget down to $332 billion. Even in such an extreme case of DoD budget reduction, for his “civilian national security force” to be “just as well-funded” would mean funding his community service initiatives at an equivalent $332 billion.

Consequently, another $332 billion in addition to the Pentagon’s reduced budget of $332 billion equals a net increase of $182 billion in the annual federal budget, assuming we sponge-up the already existing expenditures for the relatively meager, by comparison, existing service programs he plans to expand. That’s $182,000,000,000 in new federal monies, and that means higher taxes.

In his entire life, Senator Obama has never managed an organization larger than a Senate staff, or that of a law school publication. And, he’s never operated a for-profit business or been responsible for any profit center within one. So, while words matter to Senator Obama, it’s not clear if math means anything to him at all.

So maybe my neighbor, who might be a part of this ‘Civilian National Security Force’, won’t shoot me after all, but it doesn’t make our economic future look any brighter does it?

Either way it stinks of extreme socialism…
more commonly known as Marxism.
