THE VIGILANTE RANT

I understand that overall crime rates are dropping slightly nation-wide and this, obviously, is good news. The fewer murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, etc., the better off and safer we’ll be. This, however, rather depends on where one lives, doesn’t it? I teach in a very large inner-city “ghetto” high school. Most of the students come from neighborhoods that can best be described as domestic third world shit-holes: no offense to all the third world shit-holes out there. Places like East New York are veritable cess pools of crime, violence, drugs, and gangs. Neighborhoods like Bushwick, however, make East New York look like a fucking country club suburb.

Crime in neighborhoods like these is not only rampant but random as well. One of my students, a harmless enough fellow named Rakeem Jones, was walking along Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn going shopping for his mom. As he turned a corner, he took two rounds in the chest and died instantly. It turns out that “they” weren’t even gunning for Rakeem. He simply walked into the middle of a gun-fight between rival gangs. Shaheem, another student of mine and a complete, utter piece of shit, was informed that he “played” too much and was executed in the middle of the street in broad daylight. “They” pumped six slugs into his chest and there were, of course, no witnesses. Yet another of my charges, whose name escapes me, was attending his uncle’s funeral who was gunned down in some gang related incident. “They” burst into the funeral parlor, opened fire, and hit the kid at least twice. He managed to make it to the street but the killers followed and finished the job. The young man’s sheet-shrouded body made the papers the following morning.

I caution my students, especially before vacations, to stay low and watch out for the stray bullets. Unfortunately, I’m only half-kidding. I further instruct them that when home at night with the lights on to make sure the blinds and curtains are drawn so they’ll make less of a target from the street! Again, only a partial jest. I calculated not too long ago that over the last quarter-century or so, roughly twenty to twenty-five students of mine have been killed while about six others themselves have become killers. Maybe I’d better change something about my methodology or perhaps I’ve got to adopt an alternative fucking modality!

This type of violence is not, obviously, endemic to New York City but rather has become systemic to all of America’s urban centers. Not one has managed to escape the scourge. If draconian measures are not quickly instituted, our nation will suffer the same fate as others that came before us: it will cease to exist. Our democratic, representative republic will have been transformed into something resembling medieval feudalism in Europe after Rome’s spectacular demise, only a thousand times worse. After all, the barbarians of yesteryear merely had spears, swords, and arrows. The present day Visigoths, however, tote nine millimeters, AK 47’s, and fucking MAC 10 machine pistols! The coming Dark Ages will make the last one seem like a trip to freaking Disney World where your biggest problem is coping with that gigantic fucking mouse!!

If the “problem” could be somehow limited to or contained in our urban centers, the country’s ruination might be avoided or at least post- poned. That, sadly, is not the case. The scum, in increasing numbers, has begun migrating – make that oozing - into the suburbs. The disease has thoroughly metastasized and we require nothing short of a societal equivalent of a radical mastectomy to make it right. Even then, it is probably too damned late! There was a time not all that many years ago, when the concept of “gated communities” did not exist. Not only were neighborhoods safe, especially in suburbia, but people did not live in constant fear. Home security consisted of a 12 gauge pump and a well-trained dog! Neighbors looked out for one another, children went unmolested, and drive-by shootings weren’t even a blip on the radar screen.

Less than a generation later, Home Security has grown into one of the largest industries in the country. Gated communities are so common that they don’t even warrant the raised eyebrow, and the “Rent-a-Cop” business has become a permanent fixture of American life. How could it all have gone so fucking wrong so fucking fast?!? Perhaps it is the fault of our law enforcement agencies. Maybe the cops are either not performing properly or they are so overwhelmed that they cannot function effectively. It is most probably the latter. In our free and open society, we value our privacy far more than our security-safety. Our law enforcement agencies are not designed to prevent crimes before they occur but rather to apprehend the criminal after the fact. To prevent crime would require a cop or perhaps a soldier on every corner carrying a weapon that could spit out about 750 rounds per minute. Think Red China under Mao or the old Soviet Union. While this might go a long way toward crime prevention, it would most certainly have debilitating ramifications for our democratic institutions and way of life. How about we declare marshal law, bring in the army to patrol our cities, and implement strict curfews with appallingly harsh treatment for violators? Sounds workable, but then there’s that pesky little issue of Posse Commitatus! Dammit, another great idea shot all to shit!!

The police are obviously overwhelmed. There are not nearly enough of them to deal efficaciously with the miscreants and marauders amongst us. Additionally, they are completely ham-strung by those fucking liberal “do-badders” out there who are more concerned with the rights of criminals than those of law-abiding citizens. Truthfully, Neanderthals like me don’t give a shit if some serial killer gets Mirandized or not and we certainly don’t give a flying fuck about that cretinous baboon who rapes and kills children because his mother wouldn’t let him masturbate as a child! If that rat bastard rots in central booking for a year without going before a judge, fine by me! You can take your Habeas Corpus and just stick it where the sun don’t shine!! Get my drift?

You cannot possibly imagine how many of us out here are thoroughly nauseated every damned time some malicious, venal piece of shit out on parole or probation continues raping, murdering, and generally preying on the innocent. Keep that mother-fucking monster, that excuse for a human being locked the fuck up!! I’ve read that almost 50% of all violent crimes committed in this country are the handy-work of some recidivist mutant who should be incarcerated and entertaining Bubba while awaiting trial. Instead the bastards are out there among us blithely destroying lives, neighborhoods, and entire communities. Since these vicious scumbags are amongst US, hurting US, and destroying US maybe it’s up to US to deal with THEM! When the law stops, people tend to take over. I give you the Los Angeles riots of years past when Korean shop-keepers used both long and short guns to protect life and family.

I give you Brian, an old student of mine. He described a gun-fight he had been in when he and some doper were trying to put holes in each other. My first reaction was Bullshit! I’m going to believe some sixteen year-old kid with a story like that! It turned out that the story was 100% accurate. A drug dealer had been persistently attempting to introduce his two younger sisters to the delights of crack cocaine. Brian objected and informed the dealer that if he didn’t stop bothering the girls he’d be killed. Brian further suggested that the budding young entrepreneur move his operation to another part of town. In other words, get the fuck out of Dodge and head for the tall grass! The businessman refused to heed the warning and true to his word, my former student got his gun and started shooting. According to Brian, while he didn’t actually kill the son of a bitch it wasn’t for a lack of trying. In the exchange of gunfire, the drug dealer was badly wounded and was never seen in the neighborhood again. You got a problem with that?!?

Another kid related the story of the stalker who had been following his mother around the neighborhood for at least a month. He taunted her with sexual innuendo and built up to graphic descriptions of what he’d like to do to her. The family went to the police and got no satisfaction. They had a judge issue a restraining order: still no remedy. In the end, the kid, his father, and a bunch of relatives finally paid the pervert a visit. When asked what happened, the young fellow just smiled and said that the stalker wouldn’t be bothering his mom anymore, or anyone else for that matter. You know if I had to bet, I’d say that the miscreant’s 5th and 14th Amendment rights were completely violated. His 1st, 6th, and 8th Amendment rights were also probably brutally trampled on (sorry folks, you look ‘em up). You know what? I’m absolutely fine with that. You want to know why? Okay, I’ll tell ya. Mom’s okay, hasn’t been harmed, and is no longer being intimidated and frightened by some useless piece of shit criminal pervert! In addition, a message was sent out: don’t mess with this kid’s family! Fuck that bastard, fuck his rights, and fuck anyone who doesn’t understand that!!

Remember those Koreans from L.A.? They didn’t wait until their businesses had been looted and burned to the ground. They didn’t wait to see a life time of hard work go up in smoke. In the absence of any meaningful response from the authorities, they broke out the firepower and protected their lives, families, and property the only way they could. I’d love to have them as neighbors. The students referred to above deserve medals and kudos from their community: perhaps symbolic keys to the city would be appropriate. They both recognized an absolute and immediate need to protect members of their families: waiting was simply not an option. Brian couldn’t just wait until his sisters became crack addicts and whores and the other kid couldn’t wait until Mom had been brutally raped or worse! I applaud both of them for protecting their families while at the same time making their neighborhoods just slightly safer.

These and other examples of direct, if drastic, community action qualify as bona fide instances of true vigilantism. Now there’s a concept worth thinking about. We normally associate vigilantes with the old, lawless wild West before civilization and settlement: before peace officers, judges, and jails. These were times and places where there was literally no law and no one to enforce it. Those conditions necessitated private citizens banding together for the common good. As civilization spread west and legal systems were established, the need for vigilante justice, it was assumed, would diminish and then disappear. This sounds logical, reasonable, and rational. Civilization breeds civility, or so I’m told. With civility comes law-abiding citizens who rarely go out of their way to harm fellow citizens. The few miscreants who remain uncivilized can then be dealt with by the powers that be.

This rationale looks and sounds great on a theoretical basis. It holds up very well until you end up in the fabled “Hood” living in the projects, tenements, and slums. These shit-holes are so crime and drug infested that life is virtually guaranteed to be nasty, brutish, and short (to coin a phrase) for the average law-abiding shlub simply trying to eke out a living and stay alive from day to day. Not long ago, for example, residents of the “Pink Houses”, a particularly vicious example of government largesse, were forced to pay weekly in order to safely leave or enter their homes. Both the exit and reentry “fee” stood at fifty dollars per week. God help you if you wouldn’t or couldn’t pay because no one, including the police, acted as effective deterrents. Then there are the stories of residents of these failed shrines to the welfare state thrown out of their homes by gangs who turn the abodes into drug labs. Once again, the cops are impotent and the lives of residents are a living Hell.

What are the denizens of the Pink Houses and similar neighborhoods to do? One version of Webster’s maintains that a vigilante is “one of a group of self-appointed citizens acting to maintain order.” Yet another version notes that a vigilante is “a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily as when the processes of law seem inadequate.” To put it very succinctly, a vigilante is “A self-appointed doer of justice.” How about that, 21st century vigilantes? Does the concept make sense anymore or have we as a society become too soft, weak, squeamish, and gutless? This country, once renowned for its problem-solving acumen, has become a nation of whiners, complainers, whimperers, and feckless freeloaders! We seem to have lost all sense of self reliance and independence but rather have become virtually dependent on government for even such elemental needs as protecting our lives and those of our loved ones.

The government seemingly can’t protect us and, with a few notable exceptions, we refuse to protect ourselves! When individuals in a free society have lost the will, the guts if you prefer, to protect themselves and their property from the absolute pond scum bent on destroying us then I’d have to conclude that this nation’s survival is in very grave doubt. The barbarians are not merely at the gates, but rather inside and the havoc they wreak will lead to the death of this country. We seem to be suffering from a form of collective cowardice. Our survival instincts have become so dulled, so atrophied, as to be virtually nonexistent. This has to be a form of societal mental illness. When the populace loses its will to fight back and instead relies on government agencies for its very existence, then the end is surely near!

Yes, I am thoroughly endorsing not only the concept of vigilantism but its practice as well. I find nothing the least bit troubling about decent people intimidating, hurting, and even killing the human vermin who intimidate, hurt, and kill those who are merely trying to get by the best way they can. Just the idea of armed groups of citizens – with enough firepower to completely route the enemy – makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Our inner cities have been over run by filth in human guise. They have been unopposed for so long that they appear invincible. Let decent folks fight back with equal or greater force and viciousness and the gang-bangers, drug dealers, rapists, killers, and other miscreants will eventually get the message and move on. Kill enough of them, and the neighborhood becomes safe. Once safety is assured, prosperity has a chance to take hold – but not until. Without a sense of security, no neighborhood can improve let alone prosper.

In the absence of effective authority, citizens have no choice but to take matters into their own hands. Will it be dangerous? You bet! Will people bleed and die? Absolutely! For those of you of the Liberal persuasion who shout back that violence is never the answer, Fuck Off! Sometimes violence is the only answer!! For all of you Left Wing Losers who feel that people need Big Government to solve their problems, grow a set of Balls! If given the opportunity, most average folks can overcome any and all adversity if the government would just step back and get the fuck out of the way! For those of you who are about to start calling me names like Conservative Asshole or Right Wing Nut Case, let’s try an experiment. Choose any major American city and I’ll pay your rent for one year in the “project” of your choice. Within a month you hypocritical bastards will be screaming for a gun for self-protection! Hell, you’ll probably demand an arsenal and will absolutely be at the very head of the line to sign up for vigilante duty! Good Hunting!!

Much “Luv” Y’all and Have a Great Day!

THE WHERE HAVE ALL THE STANDARDS GONE RANT?


Standards, especially high ones, are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. They have plummeted so spectacularly far and so amazingly fast that at times it is virtually impossible to explain, comprehend, or accept. Only a cursory examination of our so-called educational system, for example, is more than sufficient to corroborate this blanket statement. As a society, we may have reached a point of no return. It may be too late to reverse this debilitating trend. I’m not precisely sure when falling and failing standards translate into a nation’s demise, but we’ve got to be getting damned close. Daniel Patrick Moynihan used his prophetic phrase “defining deviancy down” to describe worsening conditions in any number of key societal indicators, especially the American family and the state of American education. I don’t believe that even Senator Moynihan, however, could possibly have envisioned just how horribly deviant, how grotesquely deformed, and how distressingly weak our sense of standards have fallen.

The American system of education, at one time the finest in the world, has been quite literally decimated. Ronald Reagan maintained that had a foreign power done to our school systems what we ourselves have done it would be considered an act of aggression, a declaration of war, and a call to arms! In a Nation At Risk, Reagan warned of the dire and disastrous consequences of a failed system of education and what it would mean for this country on virtually all levels. These consequences quite literally augur in the death of the United States of America.

For the better part of the last thirty years, I have taught in a very large inner-city ghetto high school. Educational standards at this particular institution have gone from somewhat rigorous to just short of rigor mortis and that too is coming! My school is fairly representative of all large urban high schools nation-wide from New York to L.A., from Detroit down to Dallas and pretty much everything in between. It is safe to say that educational standards in urban secondary schools are at best horrific and at worst non-existent. I can’t speak for suburban or rural America, but education in our urban centers is completely facocta!!

The average graduation time is no longer four years but rather something over six and this is for a normal high school regimen. We now have students running around the building who are between twenty and twenty one years of age. Most of these “children” have just enough credits to qualify as sophomores and the vast majority will never graduate. Years ago, a credible rationale existed for these “young adults” to prolong their high school careers: they sold drugs. The school was their place of business, their office so to speak. Money was to be made and business flourished. That’s a thing of the past for very little in the way of controlled substances are now sold here.

Perhaps the entrepreneurial spirit is not as healthy and robust as it once was. Regardless of why they stay, we can’t show them the door until they are twenty-one years old. That sounds clear enough although no one has ever been able to explain the logic of this arbitrary age. There exists, however, an interpretational component. Can we discharge them when they become twenty-one or can they continue their educational endeavors until they are no longer twenty-one?

It wasn’t that long ago when a graduation age of eighteen was the national norm. It was rare indeed for a high school student to reach his nineteenth birthday without having graduated. That standard, of course, has gone completely by the boards and is an example of merely one shattered educational benchmark. I’ve been told that this extended time will serve to increase graduation rates so does it really matter whether they graduate at 18, 20, or 21 so long as they succeed? CRAP!! The New York City Board of Education touts a drop-out rate of about one-third and as disgusting as that sounds, would that it were so! The true drop-out rate hovers at something approaching 50%. About half of New York City’s high school students never make it out. I have no idea how the other major urban centers fare in this regard, but if it’s anything close to the Big Apple’s then this nation is fucking doomed!!

How about we try a different approach to the problem of “ageing out” of high school? How about reverting to that by-gone standard of four years and you’re gone – diploma or not. I know. That’s too harsh, too cruel, too punitive you say. Why, I reply? It used to work when standards were enforced. Why can’t it work again? Okay, how’s this for a minor concession then? A student is entitled to eight semesters of a free public education at taxpayer’s expense. Once a student hits that ninth term, however, it’s time to pony up. Every term after the eighth costs the family five grand! If the family can’t pay, they take their drop-out and try to find the fellow some form of gainful, albeit menial, employment.

Let’s move on to another moribund standard – proficiency. You’d think that while approximately 50% of our students drop out, the remaining half that successfully complete their high school careers would be educationally sound, so to speak. You’d think they should be able to demonstrate 12th grade mastery of at least a core curriculum as they prepare to exit high school and move on to whatever’s next. Yeah, you’d think that wouldn’t you? Well, think again Skippy, ‘cause it just ain’t so! I’d be willing to bet both my homes and the three cars that I can’t find twenty graduating seniors who can read or write on the 12th grade level. Note that I didn’t say copy. They’re great copiers and most have excellent penmanship. If they’d been born a few thousand or so years back they would have held important positions in places like ancient Egypt as scribes. Ask them to explain what they’ve just read and you’ll get a round of shoulder-shrugging accompanied by a chorus of really wet “teeth-sucking.” Both the shrugging and the sucking are defensive in nature and are employed to mask a sense of embarrassment. They are signs of surrender and defeat. These graduating seniors know that they should be able to explain what they have read or copied and they also know that they can’t. My real estate and vehicles are perfectly safe!

Perhaps these graduating seniors’ strength lies in mathematics as opposed to reading and comprehension. Randomly pick any twenty and have them solve a simple arithmetic problem: two-thirds of thirty, let’s say, or how about a real brain- teaser – the square root of nine? Get ready for the shrugging and the sucking because the overwhelming majority simply cannot do it. OK, we’ll try science. Wander the halls and ask what information is contained in the periodic table of elements or perhaps they can tell you the symbol for, oh let’s see, Hydrogen. Nope. The vast majority will have absolutely no clue. Their answers will range from the ever- popular “Huh” to the ubiquitous, “Wha he said?” There will be much shrugging and sucking. They simply cannot do it and yet they are soon-to-be high school graduates. Most of them have plans to attend college or university, for while their skills are sorely lacking their self-esteem is literally bursting at the seams. Most will be accepted somewhere and fully expect to graduate with some sort of post-high school degree.

A trend has surfaced among our higher institutions of learning that is by no means new. Have you noticed that incoming freshman spend the greater part of that first year immersed in remedial classes to make up for their deficiencies in core high school subjects? This was absolutely unheard of a generation ago! If a student did not possess the requisite knowledge and/or skills, college was not an option. It was that simple. You did not receive that coveted acceptance letter. Somebody please try and convince me that our educational standards are anything but a total cluster fuck! Someone show me where there exists the least little glimmer of hope that the American system of education is just not completely shot to shit!! By the way, after being accepted to college and taking their remedial courses, most of these New York City graduates don’t make it. They drop out. After the better part of a decade, most leave school with nothing to show for it: Nada, Zip, Zero!! Their over-inflated self-esteem bubbles have been completely punctured by the harsh needle of reality. Hard work and success build a healthy sense of self-esteem and self-worth. There are no substitutes!

How have our plummeting educational standards helped to cripple this nation? Hey, let me fill you in. Internationally, American students from grade school on up can no longer successfully compete with their counterparts from other industrialized, developed nations especially in the areas of math, science, and technology. The results of international comparisons are at best dismal and at worst catastrophic. Math, science, and technology are the three most essential areas for any nation’s continued prosperity in the 21st century and we are so far behind the fucking eight ball in this regard that a resurgence seems to be no more than a cruel fantasy.

We have reached the point where we cannot produce enough qualified “home-grown” scientists, mathematicians, and computer specialists to satisfy the demand for them. We now have to import them from abroad under the auspices of special visas. While it is true that America has always welcomed immigrants and that people world-wide have clamored to take advantage of the opportunities found here, we now find ourselves dependent on foreign expertise to maintain our premier position in these crucial fields. This does not bode well for our nation’s future. Dependency is never a positive. Self-reliance should be the desired standard.

Will these “imports” learn to love America and become loyal, patriotic citizens? Will they become citizens at all or will they remain attached to their homelands while taking advantage of America merely for material gain? Ever since that fucking debacle called the Immigration Act of 1965, this seems to have been the trend. Mexico’s second leading industry after oil production, for example, is Mexican citizens residing in the United States, legally or not, who send American dollars back to the home country. They are not loyal to this country and have no desire to become citizens. The latest figures I’ve seen put that amount at over twenty billion dollars annually! It seems that for far too many years fewer and fewer foreigners desire citizenship but instead want to accumulate as much wealth as possible with an eye toward one day returning to their country and living like royalty!

When did the shit start hitting the fan? When did it start to go so drastically wrong? I believe it can be linked directly to the decade of the 1960’s, undoubtedly the most destructive ten-year span ever witnessed in this country. Moral relativism really took hold at that time and the concepts of right and wrong took an absolute hit while the truth became whatever one wanted it to be. “Doing your own thing” was in and fuck the consequences! The individual reigned supreme and societal norms were scoffed and ridiculed. Flower Power replaced morality, all authority was to be shunned, police became “pigs,” and soldiers defending our nation were dubbed “baby killers.”

Given this atmosphere and mind-set, high standards had no chance of surviving, for everyone had their own versions of acceptable or unacceptable behavior. To criticize was to be called a fascist and worse. To speak out against the then current ideologies was to invite scorn, ridicule, and ostracism. The educational establishment at the time did nothing to stem the rising tide of abandoning standards all across the board but rather happily swam along with it. It was during this period that we first heard terms like “Ebonics” or “Black English” or “Blinglish.” Teaching proper English – you know – verbs, pronouns, diagramming sentences and the like – were deemed to be too structured and rigid, not to mention too white. Self expression was crowned king and correct spelling, pronunciation, or sentence structure were all sacrificed to the gods of self-esteem and inflated egos. “We be goin’ to school where we be getin’ our edjumacation at,” was perfectly acceptable. Colleges and universities offered courses in “Ebonics” and I believe one could major in the same. Yeah, standards my ass!!

Around the same period, we note the rise of something called the New Math which once again centered on the self and feel-goodism. Obtaining the correct answer mattered not a whit and the process of problem-solving gave way to building self-esteem. If you wanted two plus two to equal seven, that’s great as long as you felt good about yourself. Being told that you had arrived at a wrong answer or conclusion was anathema and all forms of criticism attained pariah status. This period also saw the rise of a new phenomenon in this country: the self-loathing American who blames America first for any and all problems in the world. Hunger – blame America; War – America’s fault; Pestilence and Disease – America sucks; Natural Disasters, Global Cooling or Warming – blame the United States of America! Once again, this attitude was accompanied by a further lowering of standards. To reinforce these overwhelming negative sentiments about this nation both high school and university curriculum were revised to reflect this new paradigm. The standard of teaching history how it actually unfolded was completely abandoned in favor of an anti-American bias. None of the overwhelming, positive aspects of American history received the least bit of attention which it deserved. Only the negatives were dissected, bisected, and examined.

OK, OK, I know. The 1960’s is over, gone, and finished for nearly half a century. What’s the point of rehashing it all now? Best to let sleeping dogs lie, right? Well, that damned dog just don’t hunt! Unfortunately, that’s what we call a false premise. All those young folks back then are now ageing baby-boomers and far too many have attained positions of power and influence. They are now and have been for decades implementing their 1960’s ideologies while the rest of us sit back and fulminate about the total lack of standards in virtually all aspects of American life. Think of how far these former “hippies” have come. They literally control almost all avenues of the media, print and otherwise. These folks have a lock on our entertainment industry, and our institutions of higher- education are overwhelmed by them! They have infiltrated and now control our primary and secondary schools as well as the unions that represent them. Liberal politicians, normally of the Democratic ilk, have had a stranglehold on this nation’s policies for the better part of the last fifty years. No, the sixties are far from over but continue to hold a near death-grip on America’s future!

The ‘60’s were not the only aberrant time frame to further erode standards in our nation’s educational morass. In 1979, for example, that fucking peanut farmer created, with the approval of Congress, the Department of Education – a cabinet level post! What in the Hell was he thinking? Not until 1979 did the federal government get involved in what theretofore had always been a local or at best a state responsibility. How did the rest of us old farts manage to get a quality education before 1979? Quite nicely, thank you very much. What in the Hell does the government know about the educational needs of students in Podunk, Iowa or Newark, New Jersey? Didn’t President Goober understand that the federal government must only do what the private sector can’t do, won’t do, or shouldn’t do? Oh, I forgot. Carter was a Liberal fucking Democrat who by definition wants more and more government intrusion and control over all aspects of the lives of its citizens including education. The national government only does a few things well and education sure ain’t one of ‘em!

So, we have the late ‘60’s, the late ‘70’s, and finally in the 21st century we get the No Child Left Behind crock of shit sponsored by “W”. No liberal democrat, he nevertheless caved in to Fat Drunk Teddy and the Boys and let them write what has probably become the final nail in our educational coffin! NCLB sounds great. It sounds so caring, so inclusive, and so, so fucking liberal in tone and tenor that it makes one want to retch!! George, what in the Hell were you thinking by getting the federal government further involved in the education of our children and then allowing these Liberal Do-Badders to take the helm? No Child Left Behind is not working nor can it ever work. It dictates from the top down and that is a sure recipe for failure – just look around you!! Former President Bush, here’s some free advice and you can take it for what it’s worth. When in doubt, follow the lead of an admitted mentor-hero of yours: Ronald Reagan. Ronaldus Maximus famously quipped that the eleven most dangerous words in the English language are as follows: “Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help you!” In education, as in all else, please follow his lead.

The loss of standards equates to a loss of competency, not to mention excellence in all aspects of American life. It seems that in far too many instances, we no longer strive for excellence but are willing to accept mediocrity. What happens to this nation when even mediocre standards are abandoned for something less? When that happens, America is truly over. I fear that this time is rapidly approaching as we watch the greatest country that God has ever given this planet literally hurtle toward third-world status!!

Much Luv Y’all and Have a Great Day!

THE HONOR KILLINGS RANT

We are repeatedly told by those multi-cultural, politically correct, diversity worshipping, anti-American, anti-capitalist scum dogs out there that all cultures have something to offer and valuable lessons to impart. It is not our place to criticize others because that is considered wrong-headed, politically incorrect, intolerant, rude, and so very, very American. We must never be judgmental, critical, or in any manner, shape, or form even hint or imply that we are better than “they” or that “they” are not worthy of respect, admiration, and emulation. The question here is what about when it’s more than obvious, crystal clear, and an absolute truism that the Liberal acceptance of all peoples, ways of life, and things foreign flies in the face of common sense, sanity, and reason? Are we then permitted to find fault, to criticize, and to reject given these circumstances? Nope. We must never disparage for that may leave us open to charges of intolerance, bigotry, racism, and xenophobia! Well, maybe there’s a whole bunch of you out there that should just stop reading this screed right now ‘cause it sure as shit ain’t gonna be pretty and will thoroughly incense liberal sensibilities and sensitivities!

Oxford’s Dictionary of Current English defines culture as, “the arts, customs, and institutions of a nation, people, or group.” From the same source we read that culture comprises, “the arts and other instances of human intellectual achievement regarded as a whole.” Webster’s defines the term as, “a state of civilization,” or “a high level of development.” All well and good as far as it goes. Both sources are neutral and descriptive and neither reflects either positive or negative connotations.

Well, then, let’s consider that time-honored, revered, and ever so humane practice known as Honor Killings. Some would have us believe that this horror no longer occurs in the enlightened 21st century but rather died out early on for the Muslim world has evolved over the eons and no longer practices or tolerates this barbaric, brutal, and thoroughly maniacal custom. My answer to
that, of course, is a resounding and heartfelt Bullshit and Bollocks!! According to Human Rights Watch honor killings “are acts of violence, usually murder, committed by male family members against female family members, who are held to have brought dishonor upon the family.”

The same source, as quoted in Wikipedia, maintains that, “a woman can be targeted by (individuals within) her family for a variety of reasons, including: refusing to enter into an arranged marriage, being the victim of a sexual assault, seeking a divorce – even from an abusive husband – or (allegedly) committing adultery.” This definition concludes with, “the mere perception that a woman has behaved in a way that ‘dishonors’ her family is sufficient to trigger an attack on her life.” Do we all get this? Do we understand? It means, for the most part, that fathers can and do kill their own daughters, their own female flesh and blood, and that brothers can and do butcher their own sisters! This practice did not stop in the 7th and 8th centuries but continues all over the Muslim world to this day. This custom can only be called brutally horrific and absolutely no manner of justification can excuse it or mitigate its obscenely evil causes and consequences. No fucking way, no fucking how!!

Boy, I can just hear them now: those hooting, howling liberal cowards! Ever so politically correct and completely judgmental free, they’ll rail at me demanding to know who the fuck do I think I am? How dare I have the audacity, the nerve, the chutzpah to criticize a custom, a tradition if you will, of another people? Well, obviously I must be some kind of Neanderthalic, Islamophobic asshole who refuses to recognize the value of honor killings to Muslim life and society. I am, of course, the penultimate, quintessential “ugly American” in real life and time: intolerant, unfeeling, insensitive, and so very judgmental of the customs and traditions of other peoples and cultures! Where the fuck do I get off wanting certain customs, habits, and practices of a group that I really must not understand all that well brought to a screeching and screaming halt? I wonder how all those Indian ladies felt when the evil, imperialist British outlawed that time-honored and oh so humane practice of Suttee? Do you think that they indignantly demanded that those white men from the West stop interfering with custom and belief or did they heave a huge, collective sigh of relief and thanks? I also wonder how all those innocent Indian bystanders reacted to those evil Brits outlawing the Kali cult of Thuggee? Do you believe that this further instance of “White Power” was seen as merely yet one more example of “Limey” unfairness, intolerance, and lack of compassion? Whaddya think(no, if you’re that interested you look up those terms)?

There was a news story from some years ago coming out of, I believe, Pakistan. A young lady was observed committing the absolutely heinous, unforgivable crime of speaking with a young man who was in no way related to her! Can you fucking imagine?!? The news, of course, made it back to the family: such disgrace; such dishonor; such absolute shame! The young lady’s kin would become pariahs, anathema, and outcasts among their fellow religionists. What to do, whatever to do? Later that evening as the evil-doer slept, her two brothers – as in loving siblings – slit her throat and she bled to death! They apparently loved her so much that they waited until she slept so as not to terrorize or cause undue pain. How very touching! Ah yes, fratricide to maintain and uphold the family’s besmirched honor. Makes you go all warm and fuzzy inside, don’t you know? These monsters, with the approval of dad, uncles, and cousins, dutifully carried out their sacred familial obligations. Their action was seen as upright and honorable and these fine young men were perceived as nothing less than heroic! I’ll bet the next day they sadly bemoaned the fact that they no longer had a sister to love! You know, “the family that slays together. . .” Yeah, but I guess the Libs are right. Who the fuck am I to criticize such age-old and hallowed traditions?

I was once shown a picture of an absolutely beautiful young lady of Middle Eastern origin. It was a full frontal nude and her body and face were truly magnificent. At first glance, however, my eyes couldn’t seem to focus on the photo. I knew I was looking at a picture but the brain just wasn’t making sense of the thing. It took a few seconds for me to comprehend what I was staring at. She was lying on her back with her severed head displayed prominently on her stomach! I shit you not. Her loving family had lovingly cut her fucking head clean off and then photographed the grisly results! Her crime? Dishonoring and disgracing her family by not sufficiently covering herself from head to toe save for the eyes.

Do you begin to get it folks, do you begin to understand? It is my contention that while certainly not all cultures are alike they are also not all equal and that, indeed, some are better and some are worse than others! Any culture, tradition, or religion that condones the concept and practice of honor killings is in my humble and, of course, bigoted Western view inferior to those that decry and condemn them! The concept of inferior and superior does have real meaning and actually exists. Not all things are morally relative and good and evil are not just ethereal, meaningless terms! Honor killings – are you fucking kidding me?!?

Surely, we hope, honor killings are not all that widespread and are limited to nations dominated by the Muslim faith and culture. You think so, Skippy? Yeah, well think again. Cinnamon Stillwell of www.sfgate.com writes that, “Throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, young Muslim women are being targeted for violence.” She continues that, “lest it be thought hate crimes are to blame, it is, in fact their own relatives who are the perpetrators. So-called honor killings, whereby a Muslim male family member, typically the father, murders his daughter in order to defend the family’s honor, is a growing problem.” Stillwell reports that, “the United Nations Population Fund approximates that as many as 5,000 women are murdered in this manner each year worldwide.” This number, however, seems to be on the low side because, “reports from Turkey, Jordan, Pakistan and the Palestinian territories, among other locales, are filtering in at an alarming rate.” Stillwell continues, “Add to the list Germany, Sweden, other parts of Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, and it is clear that young Muslim women in the West are becoming increasingly vulnerable.”

Read that last line again – slowly and carefully. Note the emphasis on Muslim women in the West because that’s the kicker. If these haters of modernity kept this shit in their own backyards, it would still remain a horrific, barbaric, and brutally unspeakable code of conduct especially by any Western standards. These folks, however, are not content to stay in their own sandbox but rather have decided to come over and play with us. Remember when your mom forbade you from associating with certain kids at the playground? She was dead-on right! Take the case of one Egyptian-born taxi driver, Yaser Abdel Said. Debbie Schlussel (www.debbieschlussel.com) notes that, “a taxicab driver named Yaser Abdel murdered both of his teenage daughters . . . probably because they had too much fun(perhaps with the dreaded non-Muslim infidels).” She explains that when Sarah, his 17 year-old daughter, “recently met a boy at her job, she told a friend that her father would kill her if he found out.”

Schlussel points out that the incident shocked the folks in the area, but maintains that it shouldn’t have since she had documented other examples in Indiana, Detroit, Dearborn, “as well as elsewhere in America, North America, and throughout the Western world.” The sfgate.com peace referenced earlier also describes the same honor killing. The article reports, “the brutal murder of teenage sisters Sarah and Amina Said. The two were found shot to death in a taxi after having made a last phone call to a police dispatcher asking for help.” The cops immediately issued an arrest warrant for the father of the slain siblings. The Dallas Morning News, according to the web piece, explained that Said’s motivation was that, “Western culture was corrupting the chastity of his daughters.” That last line is crucial if we are to ever comprehend the mindset of those who kill their own children to preserve family honor.

Assimilation, the process of becoming part of another culture, is key here. Mr. Said didn’t want to become an American but merely wanted to be an Egyptian living in America. There’s a huge difference between these two concepts and failing to recognize this will have deadly repercussions for our country. Far too many of our foreign born no longer desire to adopt and embrace American culture, mores, and traditions but merely want to transplant their own in the United States. They have no feelings for or love of this country and what it stands for. They come here only for whatever material rewards we can provide that simply don’t exist in the Third-World Shit Holes from whence they came. If honor killings are practiced in Egypt, then by God, this monster in human guise, this fucking barbarian from northern Africa would maintain that practice in his New World home if it suited him.


We allow human filth like this Said character into the country and are shocked and outraged when such abominations occur. If this guy and other Muslim Maniacal Mother Fuckers are so disgusted, morally outraged, and sickened by our American-Western Culture, how’s this for an idea? STAY THE FUCK IN YOU OWN GOD FORSAKEN THIRD WORLD HOVELS!!! Our immigration policies, or more accurately the lack thereof, allow these sick bastards and philosophies to thrive and flourish here and the multi-cultural mob of craven cowards won’t tolerate any criticism of these foreign assholes for fear of offering offense or insult! Give me and the rest of us a fucking break!! We have virtually open borders that allow Middle Eastern terrorists, devotees of honor killings, and those who have absolutely no concept of the meaning of human rights access to the greatest nation God ever gave mankind. I want them gone and anyone who objects can go the fuck with them!

An outfit called Gendercide Watch (www.gendercide.org) is primarily a feminist organization and monitors such practices as honor killings which are, of course mainly perpetrated against women. The group defines this type of murder as a practice in which a “woman is killed for her actual or perceived immoral behavior.” This behavior may “take the form of marital infidelity, refusing to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, flirting with or receiving phone calls from men, failing to serve a meal on time, or – grotesquely – ‘allowing herself’ to be raped.” The group points to an incident reported in the Toronto Star of May 14, 1998. In the Turkish province of Sanliurfa, “one young woman’s throat was slit in the town square because a love ballad was dedicated to her over the radio.” I wonder which one of her sick, demented, twisted, barbaric – but no doubt loving – relatives did the deed and thereby preserved the family honor? To call people who believe in this practice civilized is a complete mockery of the term.

The group notes that most honor killings occur in Muslim countries but also recognizes that “the phenomenon is a global one.” These types of murders have been documented in Britain, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Pakistan, Morocco, Sweden, Turkey, Uganda, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. That’s quite a list, but fails to mention places like Germany, France, Canada, the United States, and I’m sure others. To reiterate a previous point, these folks do not leave their customs and traditions at home when they move into other parts of the world but rather continue them where ever they settle. As Muslim minorities continue to grow ever larger in Western societies they will eventually destroy their target nations: they’re exactly like parasites draining the life blood from the host body.

Just take at look at what’s going on in Western Europe – just pick a country. There exist entire Muslim neighborhoods into which the legitimate civil authorities will not venture. Cops won’t go there, ambulances won’t go there, and firefighters won’t either. These are Muslim communities – Ummas – and the residents therein demand on being governed by Sharia, not civil law. If you think for one minute, especially given our virtually nonexistent immigration policies and Liberal nefariousness, it’s not happening in America you desperately need to get your fucking head examined!

On October 16, 1995, one Ittihaj Hassoon became the victim of an honor killing in a village near Haifa, Israel. According to the Montreal Gazette, ten years before she was murdered, she committed the unspeakable, horrendous, and apparently unforgivable sin of marrying an “outsider” against, of course, her family’s will. According to the paper, “Now after luring her back to her home village with promises that all was forgiven and her safety assured, her brother had the chance to publicly clear the blot on the family name with the spilling of her blood.” The news piece continued that, “In broad daylight in front of witnesses, he pulled out a knife and began to stab her.” A crowd quickly gathered as the execution unfolded. Did the mob react in horror, try and save the unfortunate woman, or stop brother from killing sister? Nope. More than one hundred villagers applauded his efforts and, “chanted, undulated, and danced in the streets. Within minutes Hassoon lay dead on the ground while the crowd cheered her killer, ‘Hero, Hero! You are a real man’!”

According to Suzanne Zima, author of When Brother Kills Sister, Hassoon’s sibling, Ibrahim, agonized over his decision and subsequent action. He said, “She is my sister – my flesh and blood – I am a human being. I didn’t want to kill her, I didn’t want to be in this situation.” No problem, Fucko! Just don’t do it and keep those homicidal tendencies in check. The brother couldn’t restrain himself because, “They (community members) pushed me to make this decision. I know what they expected from me. If I do this, they look at me like a hero, a clean guy, a real man. If I don’t kill my sister, the people will look at me like I am a small person.” This boggles the mind. This fucking maniac brutally and publicly slaughtered his own sister due to some kind of bizarre, twisted, demented peer pressure?!? Because of what they would have thought of him!?! Folks, this is no more or less than well, thoroughly sick shit. There are no other words for it. And by all means, keep in mind that more and more Muslims with the exact same mindset arrive in America every year.

A culture that approves, condones, and applauds such a perversion cannot in any shape, manner, or form peacefully exist with our own. It’s an utter impossibility and too great a leap of faith to ever assume otherwise. To do so is the height of folly, naivety, and pure, unadulterated Boobery! If we aren’t very careful about who and what kinds of people we want joining us in our “Great Experiment” we’re going to “tolerate” ourselves right out of existence! I don’t want these people in our towns or cities walking our streets. I don’t want them visiting or residing in America for any reason. Send them back to their desert hovels in the Third World Shit Hole countries they came from where they can fucking honor kill to their twisted heart’s content. Just get them the fuck outta’ here!! That any group of Americans – read that Liberals – could ever even claim to understand or excuse such barbarism means that this nation is indeed on the road to self-destruction and doom.

One assumes, one hopes anyway, that in lands noted for brutal punishments where criminals are concerned that in cases as outrageous as honor killings, penalties would be as excruciating, harsh, and as swift as the crime. Yeah, you’d think so, wouldn’t you? Better think again, Skippy. On September 27, 2008, Supna Zaidi posted a piece on www.islamist-watch.org entitled, “Does Islam Justify Honor Killings?” He notes that secular Iraq provides no punishment for such murders and states that after a seventeen year-old girl was killed by her father the arresting Iraqi sergeant stated that, “Not much can be done when we have an ‘honor killing’ case. You are in a Muslim society and women should live under religious laws.” The author notes that the “father also killed his wife, who left him after the murder of their daughter. He will not be prosecuted for either in Iraq.”

Well, all right then, Iraq must be the exception for surely other Muslim nations must severely punish these horrendous acts. In 2003, www.worldnetdaily.com informed its readers about the state of punishment for honor killings in the nation of Jordan. The piece stated, “On Sunday, the Jordanian parliament rejected a bill that would strengthen relevant laws, which currently mete out sentences as light as six months in prison for people guilty of honor killings.” OK, let’s try Pakistan. Perhaps this Muslim nation punishes these horrific murders in ways more acceptable to Western sensibilities. The site www.world.msnbc reported that, “Six close male relatives of three teenage girls dug a 4-foot wide by 6-foot deep ditch, on a swealtering night in mid-July and allegedly buried the girls alive.” The girls had committed the unspeakable act of choosing their own husbands – GASP!! For this they had to be buried alive – simply nothing else to be done.

The incident did bring widespread condemnation from all manner of human rights groups, but to no avail. World Blog points out that one Israrullah Zehri, a senator in Pakistan’s upper house of Parliament commented that, “This action was carried out according to tribal traditions.” The Pakistani politician further added, “These are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them.” Well, after all, tradition is ever so important. The article made a point of noting that, “In 2004, President Pervez Musharraf outlawed the practice known as honor killings – violations of the law carry the death penalty. But the law is impossible to enforce because this centuries old custom for dealing with women is protected by powerful feudal landlords and tribal elders.”

There is apparently some dispute as to the origins of this gruesome practice of honor killings. Some sources insist that its roots are firmly embedded in the Religion of Peace itself and justification for the practice may be found in the Koran. Others vehemently deny this charge and lay root causes at the feet of long held tribal customs, traditions, and beliefs. Both sides can present fairly convincing evidence to bolster their points of view and, I’ve been told, discussions on the topic can be quite heated to say the least. The point is moot and I for one don’t give a flying rat’s ass as to which side is more or less correct. It simply doesn’t matter and it’s not at all germane to the issue at hand. The fact remains that honor killings happen and are practiced everywhere Muslim communities establish a foothold. It’s simply an undeniable fact of life in the 21st Century.

What’s going on all over Western Europe, for example, is but a precursor of what is in store for the United States. There is absolutely no doubt about it and no way around it. Honor killings are happening in America and it doesn’t look like they’re going away anytime soon. A piece entitled, “Honor Killings Rising in Europe,” (www.captainsquartersblog.com) reports that, “Muslim honor killings have increased significantly on the Continent. . .” The author correctly maintains that, “Where Muslim communities have been allowed to remain insular through POLITICAL CORRECTNESS (emphasis mine) like in Germany as I posted earlier, they have brought with them their customs and traditions.” While the author singles out Germany here, any Western democracy will do like, for example, the United States. “The result,” he continues, “especially in the most leftist of these countries, are Muslim communities with little loyalty to their countries and almost no connection to the laws and norms of traditional European society and justice.”

The author couldn’t be more absolutely correct and he warns the United States not to emulate the European model for it will lead to nothing less than the absolute ruination of our country. Will we have the common sense combined with the necessary backbone to listen? I doubt it. The Captain’s Quarters’ piece spells it out in no uncertain terms. The author notes that, “This should provide an object lesson for countries like the U.S. and other Western nations that take in large amounts of immigrants. Allowing segregated societies to flourish ESPECIALLY BY PROVIDING SERVICES IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AS THE NORM (emphasis mine) only creates interest groups with less connection to the central society.” Finally and presciently, the piece concludes that, “In the extreme, it means that the governments cannot conduct their basic raison d’etre – the protection of its citizens. Assimilation should always be the goal, not undue accommodation.” It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain and just a tad of testosterone that those in charge of our so-called immigration policies have no interest in assimilation and bend over backwards to overly accommodate groups who couldn’t give a flying fuck about the United States. Folks, we are in very deep ca-ca here!

In a blog piece by Phyllis Chesler entitled, “Honor Killings in America,” the author discusses a number of the “incidents” mentioned in this screed but with a particularly perceptive twist. She talks about the murders of Amina and Sarah Said at the hands of good old “pops”. She explains that, “the blogs and the local Texas media . . . were all over this. Hot Air, Atlas Shrugs, Jihad Watch were too. The only national coverage of this story was contained in the Washington Times.” She finds this somewhat curious, disturbing, and puzzling as do I. Chesler queries, “Why did the national and international media so far shy clear of this story?” The answer is obvious to all whose heads are not firmly ensconced up their rectums!! Chesler asks, “Were they afraid of being accused of ‘Islamophobia’ if they reported the truth? Did they not want to use the word ‘Arab’ or ‘Muslim’ lest they be attacked as ‘Racists’?” Perfect – spot on – dead right!

The major media in this nation is in the death grip of politically correct Liberal cowards who are petrified of offending any and all groups save for Americans and America. These multi-cultural, diversity worshipping, pathetic wimps are so worried about offending those people and practices that have no place in this country that they’ll turn a blind eye as the United States and all that it stands for implodes and self-destructs!! These Leftist Lunatics may not actually pull the proverbial trigger but they are absolutely more than just mere willing accomplices!

Imagine the following scenario, as related by Sayed Kamran Mirza in www.islam-watch.org, unfolding in your suburban town or urban neighborhood. He notes that, “Kifaya Husayn, a 16-year-old Jordanian girl was lashed to a chair by her 32-year-old brother. He gave her a drink of water and told her to recite an Islamic prayer.” Uh-oh, looks like we got that brother thing about to happen again. He, “then slashed her throat. Immediately afterward, he ran out into the street waving the bloody knife and crying, ‘I have killed my sister to avenge my honor’.” These people are sick, warped, and twisted beyond redemption and yet we still welcome them with open arms.

The author continues and explains that the girl’s crime was being “raped by another brother, a 21-year-old man.” Let’s see, the kid was raped by one brother and therefore viciously murdered by another. In some bizarre Muslim mindset she obviously deserved to die. Who judged her and pronounced sentence? Why, of course, “her own uncles who convinced her eldest brother that Kifaya was too much of a disgrace to the family’s honor to be allowed to live.” Yeah, I guess you’re right. This kind of horror may be fairly commonplace “over there”, but here in civilized America, the United States? Come on – get real! No way! Right? I mean it’s just not possible in this great country of ours, is it? Well, is it?


Much luv y’all and have a great day!

THE GLOBAL WARMING SCAM RANT

The global warming mongers amongst us never cease to amaze. They relentlessly and incessantly spew their bilge and bombast as though it were founded in real science and supported by sound, thorough, and accurate data instead of the phony, bogus, and spurious bullshit that increasing numbers of us have always recognized it to be. These shamsters, hucksters, and assorted snake oil salesmen couldn’t give a rat’s patoot about global warming, its possible effects on the planet, whether it’s man-made or natural, or any other damned thing. They mask their true agenda behind alarmist warnings, horrific predictions, and a constant menu of nothing but doom and gloom scenarios. Their docket has nothing to do with science, compassion, or concern for the state of the earth. They come across as ever so pious, caring, and, compassionate regarding our planet’s tenuous fate and the dire consequences about to befall mankind if we fail to heed their warnings and, of course, fork over the cash! Their hypocrisy and dissembling are boundless. They are completely shameless, utterly beguiling, and place anyone who dares disagree with them on the level of a Holocaust denier or perhaps flat-earthers!!

In truth, these lying scum-dogs are about absolutely nothing but power, control, and making Americans far less free than we are at present. These folks literally loathe and despise our capitalist economic system which has done nothing less than create the wealthiest nation by far in the history of the world. These saboteurs will not rest until they succeed in bringing the United States down to the level of that failed experiment in socialism we call Europe. Once we have reached that point, their next and ultimate goal is to force America into true third world status in which a very small elite completely controls the economic and political systems and employs the military like a private army to ensure its continued survival and strangle hold over all aspects of the lives of the citizenry. You see, these egomaniacal, full-bore liberals view themselves as the elite and the rest of us unenlightened boobies as merely too stupid to live but far too dumb to die. We peons, according to their doctrine, are simply not capable of making decisions on our own and any that we do make will, of course, be utterly disastrous. We need to be led around by the nose and must learn – or be forced – to unquestioningly and unerringly obey our betters who will certainly do a far superior job of caring for us than we ever could on our own! Not even the ruling classes of yore took the concept of Noblesse Oblige to this extreme: talk about the ultimate expression of hubristic patronage!!

Not only do these folks abhor capitalism but they thoroughly despise the United States as presently constituted. They do not merely want to shake it to its very core but rather destroy any vestige of this nation that has made it over the years a true beacon to the rest of the world, a shining example, and the very essence of hope and freedom. They wholeheartedly and ardently believe that America is the root cause of all the world’s ills, including our own. We are viewed by those phony-ass ratbags as nothing less than evil incarnate and unless we are stopped the world will teeter over that disastrous brink and all will be lost! Poverty, famine, and starvation – America is to blame! Unrest, civil and international warfare – our fault! Racism, discrimination, and prejudice – the United States is the culprit. Ecological disaster, species extinction, and global warming – blame America!!

These charlatans must convince the rest of us that unless global warming is addressed immediately we face total planetary ruin and devastation of unprecedented and irreversible proportions. It’s really not all that difficult and these folks have over the years perfected the art of instilling fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt into ever larger segments of a thoroughly gullible population. Aided by their allies in what has come to be dubbed the mainstream media, they are more than just a little adept at swaying and controlling public opinion on any crisis dejour. Additionally, whenever someone has the temerity to rationally and calmly disagree with their views and present contrary evidence the fear mongers become instantly hysterical, ratchet up the volume, and always resort to name calling. It never varies and is so predictable as to have become boring in the extreme. These people are incapable of thinking but instead merely emote.

We can see it as far back as the 1960’s when Rachel Carson predicted the total destruction of our “feathered friends” due to pesticide use. The end result; fear and bad policy. That little lady was almost single handedly responsible for banning DDT, easily the most effective malaria deterrent ever produced. The result – huge increases in the death toll especially among Third World children. This fear of a world gone birdless never, of course, came to pass. The Ehrlichs came along next and revived the Malthusian hysteria about too many people and not enough resources resulting in massive starvation and worldwide chaos. With the aid of the media and pandering pusillanimous politicians Americans were once again scared shitless as we began to doubt ourselves and our national purpose. This crisis also never materialized. During the ‘70’s we faced the grave probability of freezing to death, economic catastrophe, and massive social upheaval from the threat of the new Ice Age unless we acted immediately, unthinkingly, and blindly. Now, of course, we are faced with the latest threat to the planet’s continued existence: Man Made Global Warming!! We’re all going to fucking die! Same shit – different day.

The late Michael Crichton in his excellent novel State of Fear sums it up magnificently through his eccentric character Professor Norman Hoffman. He explains to the young Peter Evans that, “I am leading to the notion of social control . . . To the requirement of every sovereign state to exert control over the behavior of its citizens, to keep them orderly and reasonably docile.” The fictional prof continues, “and of course we know that social control is best managed through fear.” While certainly true in other places, this can’t possibly apply to America. We don’t live in a perpetual state of fear, do we? Hoffman goes on to provide the young Evans with examples. He notes that for, “Fifty years, Western nations had maintained their citizens in a perpetual state of fear. Fear of the other side. Fear of nuclear war. The Communist menace. The Iron Curtain. The Evil Empire.” He points out, however, that in 1989 the Soviet Union was literally imploding and tells Evans that the, “fall of the Berlin Wall created a vacuum of Fear. Nature abhors a vacuum. Something had to fill it.” He insists that , “this is the way modern society works – by the constant creation of fear . And there is no countervailing force. There is no system of checks and balances. No restraint on the perpetual promotion of fear after fear after fear. . .”

Crichton’s fictional character is absolutely correct regarding the concept of fear which is one of greatest motivators of all and any time. Whether real or merely perceived, people invariably act when afraid. Unfortunately, fear-induced action is almost always less than rational, thoughtful, or well planned. Out of a sense of fear or urgency or desperation well-meaning people frequently do far more harm than good although that is normally not their intention. In the case of the global warming mob, however, the term well-meaning simply doesn’t apply. As noted above, they are agenda driven and this has caused incalculable harm not just to this country but rather on a worldwide basis.

Let’s go back just one more time to Crichton’s fictional character who succinctly explains just how pernicious, dangerous, and utterly wasteful fear-based policies truly are. He clarifies that thus far we have squandered over twenty-five billion dollars to clean up the bogus power line cancer claim which has been definitively proven to be absolutely erroneous, if not a downright fraud and hoax. Alright, big deal. We’re the wealthiest nation in the history of the planet and we can certainly afford to waste a paltry 25 billion or so. The fictional professor, however, has a particularly nonfictional response when he notes that, “twenty-five billion dollars is more than the total GDP of the poorest fifty nations in the world. Half the world’s population lives on less than two dollars a day. So that twenty-five billion would be enough to support thirty-four million people for a year." Wasting money on junk science and fear-induced policies has, in fact, real world ramifications. In this example, people are starving to death all over third world nations while we piss away American tax dollars on nothing more than trumped up fears and false premises. While Crichton’s book is a work of fiction, this last is not. People are literally dying as we squander precious resources that could go toward relieving real world suffering.

Yes, I know. Crichton’s book is fictitious and many would reject using it to even slightly debunk this urban legend that has received virtually worldwide recognition and acceptance. Global warming, most people seem convinced, is an absolute, utter certainty that portends catastrophic consequences, total environmental destruction, and an end to life as we have come to know it. In addition, its cause is man-made but only by certain men. Developed Western Civilization has done more to destroy the earth, alter the climate, and intrude into Mother Nature’s realm than all other forces on the planet. Now it is charged that Western Civilization is not merely responsible for repressing and oppressing the majority of the globe’s population but our greed and callousness coupled with a thoroughly wrong-headed self-centeredness is absolutely destroying the planet. How do we know this? The answer is obvious: because Al Gore said so!

Ever since his Inconvenient Truth, he has become the titular head, the huckster in chief, and the poster boy alarmist for the Global Warming – We’re Killing the Fucking Planet – Humankind is Evil – mob. In an extensive piece from the July, 2006 issue of Newsmax (www.newsmax.com) entitled, “Global Warming Controversy: Legitimate Threat or Hot Air?” the publication rips the former “Alpha Male” a brand new one. The authors get right to the point when they state that the film, “may be disguised as a documentary, but in fact it is a craftily fabricated infomercial, part of a massive media campaign now underway. . .” This “propaganda blitz is designed to panic the public so that they buy into drastic political measures and sky-high taxes to fight global warming described by Gore as potentially ‘the worst catastrophe in the history of human civilization.’” Finally, the Newsmax piece concludes that, “Gore’s masterpiece is no more than, “false and deceptive advertising.”

Perhaps you’ve heard of something called the Aral Sea in Central Asia? I hadn’t, but environmentalist nut cases have been shrieking about the fact that it is drying up due, of course, to man-made global warming and offer it as just one more example of how we evil human beings are systematically destroying our precious blue planet. Well folks, it turns out that these pontificating pompous asses are correct but they’re lying nonetheless. The Aral has, in fact, been decreasing in depth but not because of global warming but rather, “it has been shrinking because the former Soviet Union diverted rivers that once kept it full.” The Newsmax piece correctly notes that, “Al Gore’s film implies that this central Asian sea – once the fourth largest in the world – dried up as a result of global warming.” It did, in fact, shrink by seventy-five percent and mankind was certainly responsible – but not global fucking warming! Let’s take yet one more example of Gore-shit designed to further entrench the lie that is man-made global warming into the world’s psyche. The propaganda film depicts photographs of snowcaps disappearing from African mountaintops. In the background, Gore’s monotone drones on, “that within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilamanjaro.” Well, there you have it – the Gorester has spoken and thus global warming, the scourge of the planet, must be true. Curiously enough, however, “satellite measurements show the 19,000-foot peak of this ancient volcano just south of the Equator to be colder today than it was in 1970.” Hmmmm, kinda makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

Ponte and Morano correctly observe that, indeed, the mountain’s snows are in fact disappearing but once again global warming is not the cause. The article notes that in 2003, “The British science journal Nature attributed this to the fact that humans have cut down forests – which produces humidity – around the volcano, thereby reducing the amount of moisture in the air that used to replenish the mountain’s snowpack.” The authors then point out the obvious. Prestigious peer-reviewed journals showed, “global warming is not to blame for the waning snow and ice on Mt. Kilimanjaro, but Gore’s juxtaposition of words and images cunningly tricks viewers into believing it is.” Could it be that the former vice-shamster is knowingly manipulating facts to fit his outrageous hypothesis? Come on, that would never happen – would it? One major conclusion reached by the Newsmax piece is that, “Gore and his film cannot be trusted as a source of accurate or balanced information about Earth’s climate.” I wonder if the silly bastards who award Mr. Nobel’s coveted prize feel the least little embarrassed or chagrinned? No way in Hell!

Another of the scare tactics employed by the fear mongers is to instil guilt, shame, and remorse about what evil mankind is doing to the planet and all its cute, cuddly beasties and birdies. One of the most popular cause celebs of the global warming crowd is, of course, the oft depicted polar bears that roam our northern reaches. These pure white glacial denizens are being driven to the point of extinction by the machinations of the genus Homo sapien completely run amok. The enviro-maniacs claim that global warming is destroying the ice bear’s habitat. The warming, they claim, is responsible for ever rising sea levels and because of that increasing numbers of polar bears are drowning or become stranded on the ice flows with no way off and no sustenance to keep them alive. They are doomed. The enviro-frauds relate hair raising and heart wrenching scenarios of bears who have drowned literally because of mankind’s nefariousness, callousness, and cruelty. Man is cold and heartless in the extreme and to make it all the worse, we don’t even lose any sleep over it: we are utterly devoid of compassion and completely lack anything even remotely resembling a conscience!

The only problem here folks is that the entire polar bear debacle is no more or less than a huge load of happy horseshit! No, the global warming haters of mankind – especially the American strain – are not merely mistaken or wrong headed. Theirs is not just a case of “misinterpreting” the evidence nor is it an instance of simply disagreeing with those holding other opinions. They are out and out fucking lying – knowingly, openly, and freely! We’ve all seen the pictures by now. You know, those poor creatures helplessly and hopelessly standing trapped on the ice-flow adrift somewhere in the Arctic Ocean. They look positively forlorn, seemingly aware that they are doomed, their fate sealed forever by mankind’s poor stewardship of old Mother Earth.

Yeah sure, save for the fact that these scum dogs are lying through their damned teeth! At www.freeblogit.com you can view a piece entitled, “Global Warming Hoax Revealed,” where just such an image was posted. It creates exactly the desired emotional response: it tugs at the heartstrings, raises a lump in the throat, and brings a tear to the eye until one realizes that it’s a set up. Yup, the iceberg is melting alright but that’s only because the photo was snapped, “in the height of the summer. . . ,” when melting always occurs. Additionally, as you may or not know, polar bears are easily some of the finest swimmers in the mammal family and probably spend about as much time in the water as on the ice. This photo gives the distinct impression that those creatures are literally in the middle of the ocean with no possibility of making it to land when, in fact, “the polar bears were ten feet from shore.” In this case a picture is not worth merely a thousand words but rather an entire encyclopedia of lies, half truths, and distortions!

What the Hell, then, are these dumb beasts doing parking their silly asses on an ice flow? They’re doing what all wild animals do: taking advantage of their habitat and natural environment. Have you ever seen a red tailed hawk, for example, riding the thermals? They are flying efficiently and effortlessly with no wing movement as they soar majestically overhead. Instead of using up precious energy flapping away up there they let the wind do the work for them. It’s a survival mechanism, Numb Nuts! The same thing with the bears. “Let’s see,” says Mr. Bear, “I’m goin’ this way and that large chunk of ice is goin’ the same way. Hmmmm, let me climb on board and catch a ride.” It’s called survival of the fittest. The less energy expended and calories burned, the more likely the creature is to survive for yet another day in that brutally harsh environment.

Christopher C. Horner in his excellent work The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and the Environment quotes Dr. Mitchell Taylor, Department of the Environment, Government of Nunavut who maintains, “of the thirteen populations of polar bears in Canada, eleven are stable or increasing in numbers. They are not going extinct, or even appear to be affected at present.” Professional meteorologist Roy W. Spencer also takes on the polar bear fraud. In his book Climate Confusion, he states uncategorically that, “Most reporters fail to mention the fact that the polar bear population has grown dramatically in recent decades.” Additionally, “Even Al Gore’s movie couldn’t find real videos of a polar bear threatened by a lack of ice – they had to create a computer animation of a poor bear swimming in an ice-free sea.” Could the former vice-shamster be running a scam, or as he once accused President Bush is he playing on our fears? No way. C’mon, Big Al would never defraud his adoring public!

In his latest book, Bjorn Lomborg of Skeptical Environmentalist fame also notes Gore’s penchant for “exaggeration” as he examines the false charge in a new study which claims that for the first time polar bears have been drowning in significant numbers which leads to dire predictions of polar bear extinction in less than a decade. Lomborg notes that, “Al Gore’s statement on drowning bears suggests an ongoing process getting ever worse.” Well surprise, surprise!
It’s just more bullshit aimed at providing the hucksters with additional power and funds. Lomborg points out that actually, “there was a single sighting of four dead bears the day after ‘an abrupt windstorm’ in an area housing one of the increasing bear populations.” The author reports on the conclusions reached by the Polar Bear Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union which told us that, “of the twenty distinct subpopulations of polar bears, one or possibly two were declining in Baffin Bay; more than half were known to be stable; and two subpopulations were actually increasing around the Beaufort Sea.” Huh, whaddya know? Lomborg finally mentions that, “it is reported that the global polar-bear population has increased dramatically over the past decades, from about five thousand members in the 1960s to twenty-five thousand today, through stricter hunting regulation.” Polar bear extinction, my sorry old ass!

Why all this lying, exaggeration, prevarication, and dissembling? Remember what professor Hoffman referred to earlier: instill fear, feed fear, and reinforce fear in order to exert social control. Our new federal budget wastes literally billions on this trumped up, phony global warming bullshit while untold trillions of dollars worldwide are squandered on something easily as fraudulent as old Bernie Madoff’s giant ponzy scheme. Let’s return to Newsmax and learn about a fellow named Dr. Stephen Schneider, co-director of Stanford University’s Center for Environmental Sciences and Policy. He’s also a co-founder of the Climate Project at the National Center for Atmospheric Research as well as an editor in chief of the journal Climate Change.

No minor leaguer here, folks. We’re dealing with a heavyweight and when he speaks people tend to pay attention. He is, after all, a bona-fide, certified, genuine, real life, Honest to God scientist! The Doc insists that scientists, “are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth – the whole truth and nothing but.” Sounds good, that scientific method thing going on and lends an air of objectivity, openness, and fairmindedness. Then, of course, this man of science, this paragon of virtue, this seeker of truth immediately begins back peddling and prevaricating. He continues, “we are not just scientists but human beings as well and like most people, we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change.” From here he moves into full blown, out and out hypocrisy. To accomplish their goals he and his fellow global warmsters obviously need the support of the general public. Once the great unwashed climb aboard that run away locomotive the groveling, sniffling, pandering fucking politicians will not be far behind! The good Dr. continues that this, “entails getting loads of media coverage.” Now here comes the kicker. Schneider remarks, “so we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. . .” Finally, notes this betrayer of the scientific method, “Each of has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.” Hey, it’s just another example of the ends justifying the means or perhaps the other way around. Why bother with a pesky little thing like the truth if it stands in the way of getting what you want? You ever hear of a concept called first casualties? No, think about it.

This “scientist’s” friend just happens to be former U.S. Senator from Colorado Tim Worth and please note that when science teams up with politics it’s time to get the fuck out of Dodge! Head for the tall grass because the train wreck that’s coming is going to be nothing short of spectacular. The ex-Senator unabashedly proclaimed, “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing – in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” Read that last one more time very slowly – I’ll wait. This schmuck obviously graduated with honors from the University of Machiavelli and appears not even the least little bit embarrassed over his totally outrageous statement: he is, after all, one of the elites who will lead us poor, befuddled masses to the promised land. As did Michael Crichton’s State of Fear, the Newsmax piece cuts directly to the heart of the entire global warming bullshit scam. Rather than focusing on the effects of climate change, “the global warming issue has spawned an entire industry that makes its proponents rich, powerful, and famous. It is a vehicle they can ride to advance other agendas.”

Wait, it gets better. In addition, “the warming advocates do not necessarily even care whether the theory of global warming is actually right or wrong, true or false, as long as it can be manipulated to get them what they want.” What is it exactly that is wanted? That depends entirely on which group or category one is identified with. For example, “to politicians and government bureaucrats, the issue is being sold as an ‘emergency’ to justify huge expansions of government power, regulation and taxation.” Through grants, scientists use global warming to maintain incomes, lifestyles, and reputations while the media employs doomsday scenarios to attract audience and generate profits. Just as importantly, the issue “can be used to bash ‘greedy’ capitalists while advocating bigger government.” Yeah, the global warming-ites are real humanitarians alright and their concern for the state of the planet is truly uplifting. I’d like to take my “carbon footprint” and plant it firmly up Al Gore’s ass as a gesture of my thanks and appreciation!

As we examine just a few more issues connected to the whole global warming boondoggle please keep the hidden – and not so hidden – agenda of these fear-mongering fucks well in the foreground. You see, these frauds are anything but the concerned humanitarians they present themselves to be. For example, the alarm has been sounded that, “sea levels are rising, sea levels are rising!” The hucksters submit that coastal regions will be under water, cities like New York and London will become unlivable swamps, and entire archipelagoes in the Pacific Ocean will be wiped off the map! Global warming is killing the planet they claim while demanding ever increasing donations to the cause. A piece in Newsmax from February 8, 2008 notes that, “Global warming activists have been warning of a 13-foot to 20-foot rise in sea levels by the year 2050, caused by the melting of the great polar ice cap.” This is yet nothing less than another hoax designed to instill fear. Fred Singer, President of the Science and Environmental Policy Project Research Group, maintains that the “sea level will continue to rise at a slow rate of 8 inches per century, as it has for the last few thousand years.” Lomborg notes that sea levels will rise but only about “a foot over the rest of the century,” and he continues, “that is certainly not outside historical experience.” Horner explains that the charge that climate change is raising the sea levels is nothing more than a myth and points out that, “sea levels rise during interglacial periods such as that in which we (happily) find ourselves.” Even that thoroughly useless boondoggle known as the United Nations finds, “no statistically significant change in the rate of increase over the past century.” Chicken Little’s hysteria regarding a falling sky is just about as valid as the global warming mob’s dire predictions but at least old CL didn’t seem to have a hidden agenda!

Next up, of course, we have evil man burning evil fossil fuels that creates far too much of that evil pollutant Carbon Dioxide. I’ve pretty much made up my mind that the next time I hear some damned ignorant – or lying – son of a bitch claim that Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant I’m gonna smack the bastard right in the face! Oxford defines the term “pollute” as to “make dirty with harmful or poisonous substances.” Dirty? Harmful? Poisonous? If you actually believe this, if you’ve really bought that load of shit, than I’ve got a really great bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you! Are these schmucks seriously attempting to convince us that every time we exhale we become evil polluters?!? Think about that: 6,000,000,000 humans are destroying the planet by merely breathing! Carbon Dioxide is a nutrient, Numb Nuts, and essential to life on earth – you got that!?! Without it life is not sustainable – any and all life – even that of the low life global warming putzes that constantly attempt to scare the crap and the money out of the rest of us!!

As just stated, Carbon Dioxide is a nutrient – it’s plant food. Just as we can’t survive without air, plants require CO2 so that they can function properly while simultaneously providing that silly old oxygen required by us fragile human types. Gore and his gang of cretinous boobies do their damnedest to convince any idiot who will listen that this Carbon Dioxide stuff is destroying the planet as it causes ever increased levels of global warming. It’s just amazing how many idiots exist out there. Let’s go back to Newsmax of February 8, 2008 where E. Ralph Hostetter informs us that, “Carbon Dioxide has never been proven to be a hazard to human habitation on earth. In fact CO2 is the giver of all life on the planet. It is the only substance on Earth that can harness the energy of the sun and by the process of photosynthesis create matter in the form of vegetation on which all life subsists.” Indeed, he continues that, “there is no sound scientific evidence that increases in CO2, even a doubling of CO2, would adversely affect human beings. The planet would be much greener and the deserts would bloom.” This award winning columnist concludes by noting that, “the fact that CO2 causes global warming exists only in the hard drive of the envirocrat’s computer.” You go, E. Ralph!!

Spencer of Climate Confusion explains that Carbon Dioxide is called a “trace gas” because there just isn’t very much of it in our atmosphere. He states that, “the current concentration of about 380 ppm means that for every million molecules of air, 380 of them are carbon dioxide. Or alternatively, for every 100,000 molecules of air, 38 of them are carbon dioxide.” To put it even more succinctly, “mankind adds only 1 molecule of CO2 to every 100,000 molecules of air every five years or so.” We’re supposed to get our shorts in a twist and our bowels in an uproar over this? I think not. He also points out that while Carbon Dioxide is considered a greenhouse gas it is not nearly as prevalent as Water Vapor or Methane, the other two major GHG’s. As a matter of fact, without the protective layer provided by these evil gases, Spencer notes that the average global temperature would rise to about 140 degrees Fahrenheit! Now that’s what I’d call some serious fucking global warming!!

Al Gore maintains over and over again that the science of global warming is settled and that the world’s community of scientists has reached a consensus on the topic. He refuses to debate or discuss the issue with those who know better because he fully realizes he is wrong. Yet year after year he drones on and on scaring the living shit out of a far too gullible public and especially very young school children. Every teacher’s union in the country, of course, aids and abets his propaganda blitz in his never ending quest for power and control. OK Al, I’ll concede your point that the planet has warmed –and cooled –and warmed – and cooled ad infinitum: it always has, since day one! Gore can’t quite grasp the concept that the only constant in the earth’s history is change, never ending change. The planet will always do this. In the last century or so, the globe has warmed by approximately a whopping 1 degree Fahrenheit. Heaven help us – we’re destroying the planet and we’re all gonna fucking die!

Bjorn Lomborg even goes so far as to point out that over-all warming, if true, will even have positive ramifications but you’ll never catch the “Warmster” telling you what they might be. The author notes that, “the first complete survey for the world was published in 2006, and what it shows us very clearly is that climatic change will not cause massive disruption or huge death tolls.” He projects that, “the direct impact of climate change in 2050 will mean fewer dead and not by a small amount.” Lomborg informs us further that, “about 1.4 million people will be saved each year due to more than 1.7 million fewer deaths from cardiovascular diseases and 365,000 more deaths from respiratory diseases.” The author of Cool It explains that the length of the growing season worldwide would be extended over what it is today thus allowing farmers to produce more which should result in fewer instances of malnutrition and its dual consequences of disease and death especially in Third World Nations. How ‘bout that, Skippy? A certain amount of warming may have positive effects. I’ll bet the damned ranch that we’ll never hear this cheery news from the so- called mainstream media. Why not? Just remember Professor Hoffman.

The website www.dericalorraine.com gives us a piece entitled, “The Anatomy of a Hoax,” which is stunningly accurate and precisely sums up exactly what the global warming mob is all about. The author points out that, “Hoaxes have always been around. People have fallen for them en masse for centuries.” The piece lists the ice age scare, the overpopulation nonsense, the Y2K bilge, and – of course – global warming. The author continues that the “ first element of a hoax is that it evokes emotions such as fear, greed, sympathy, guilt, etc. You are going to die.” Sound somewhat familiar, Hmmmm? Let’s continue: “The global warming enthusiasts are trying to evoke fear and guilt. The fear is that we could die in a catastrophic weather event.” Indeed, “Guilt is also induced,” for “we drive cars which will be the cause of world-wide suffering. It will be our fault.” Hey, do we begin to detect a pattern here, a formula perhaps? When emotions trump rationality the job of the hoakster is well nigh complete.

The piece also notes that in the case of the global warming hoax that most of us simply don’t or can’t understand the science involved. Most scientists do not write for the general public for they are professionals communicating with other professionals not laymen like the overwhelming majority of us. This “results in the victim of the hoax feeling confused and ashamed,” for “he will not strive to understand the science.” The author points out that the hoax’s victim benefits greatly from living in the industrialized West and therefore feels guilty. Feeing guilt naturally “drives the victim to comply with the activists’ demands.” You know, this is really beginning to sound orchestrated, choreographed, and scripted and if you think of any successful con you’ll realize that they almost always are. Could it be that this whole global warming mess is nothing more than a brilliantly planned and executed scam? Just think Newman and Redford as they ran the “big con” in their movie “The Sting.” In the film, some gangster type was the mark and he was played like a priceless classical instrument. In today’s scenario, Gore and his minions are the con artists while the rest of us gullible boobies are the marks.

The next component of any hoax is to “baffle them with babble,” for “the mind can only hold so many elements in conscious awareness at any one time.” Jargon is the key and the more complicated the language, the more erudite and glib the champions of the cause the easier it is to hoodwink those that are always willing to unquestioningly believe the so-called experts. The third and final element of any convincing scam is the concept of urgency to be followed by dire consequences. Unless something is done without delay we are all doomed, the planet is doomed, as is our posterity. We simply cannot delay. As the web piece notes, “The third element is immediacy,” and “with the global warming hoax we must act now to prevent future disasters because when the disasters come about it will be too late.”

Far too many of us have been enviro-scammed far too often and yet we’re letting it happen yet again. The information is readily available and breaking out of our self-imposed prison of ignorance is anything but difficult. Should we chose otherwise and keep displaying this penchant for allowing ourselves to be bamboozled, hoodwinked, and suckered then we deserve exactly what the fuck we get! When they tell you to bend over and grab your ankles just shut up and smilingly comply. I hope you’re all going to enjoy the huge tax hikes that are coming down the pike in the name of saving the planet and I’m sure you’ll be equally ecstatic as you watch ever increasing numbers of your freedoms disappear while the central government grows ever larger and more powerful! Yeah, that Al Gore, he’s a real freaking humanitarian!!


Much ‘Luv’ Y’All and Have a Great Day!
