Madonna, and RHCP’s join Global Warming concert,and are Exposed for the Hypocrites that they are
Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have agreed to do Al Gore’s Live Earth concert to save the world from global warming. They are coming under fire for the hypocrites that they are, for they are considered some of the least green people on the planet. This is coming from green campaigners themselves.
According to the article linked above:
“Madonna’s Confessions tour produced 440 tonnes of CO2 in four months of last year. And that was just the flights between the countries, not taking into account the truckloads of equipment needed, the power to stage such a show and the transport of all the thousands of fans getting to the gigs.
“The Red Hot Chili Peppers produced 220 tonnes of CO2 with their private jet alone over six months on their last world tour which was 42 dates.
“The average a British person produces is 10 tonnes a year,” said John Buckley, managing director-of CarbonFootprint.com.
So Madonna’s four month tour used 44 times the tonnes of co2 than the average person uses in one year.
The RHCP used 22 times the tonnes of co2 in six months than the average person uses in one year. That’s better than Madonna at least, but I have a bigger problem with the RHCP’s and that is that their music has sucked ever since Mother’s Milk. They are sellouts and this concert is further proof of that. But I digress, that is a subject for some other blog.
So once again we have celebrities telling us how to live, pretending to care about global warming, but living a totally different lifestyle. I guess they figure if everyone else curbs their own lifestyle than that frees them up to live their own lifestyle however un-green they want, guilt free.
They don’t lead a green lifestyle, but if they can convince others to than that’s their contribution to the planet.
Transparent and pathetic!
Mitt Romney Speaks on Foreign Policy, blasts Nancy Pelosi
At a speech on foreign policy Mitt Romney blasted Nancy Pelosi for her trip to Syria saying “And then the Speaker of the House helped dignify a state sponsor of terror,” among other things.
He also stands behind the president on his Iraq war policy, which I like, but his campaign seems to be floundering and I don’t think he will be able to regain momentum. If he ever really had momentum.
He could surprise though, he did raise allot of money so there has to be support out there for him.
It seems as though his flip flopping is going to catch up with him, and this hunting fiasco might hurt him, but I do like his stance on national defense.
Steny Hoyer has had a meeting with radical Islamists according to cnsnews.com. If this report is true he has met with the founders of Hamas known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
From the article:
Top terrorists who have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood include 9/11 architect Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who joined the organization in Kuwait; al-Qaeda number two Ayman Zawahiri, a former top member of the Brotherhood in Egypt; and the jailed World Trade Center bombing plotter sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, also an Egyptian.
This is just the type of people you would want to associate with now isn’t it? But it gets even scarier:
Khaled Salam, said the meeting “clearly signals a positive shift in the attitude of both sides to explore the prospects of a more formal dialogue which hopefully will gain more supporters in the U.S. if Democrats win the White House in 2008.”
Great, more talks with the people who want to destroy us. More appeasement, it worked so well for President Clinton. Just talk to them as they keep attacking us, just like in the ’90’s. If these people are openly hoping for the Democrats to win in 2008, shouldn’t that make you wonder why?
This is just another example of why these people cannot be trusted with our national security.
There is now a bill in the senate that would link global warming to our national security.
Now there are only two ways to pay for this.
One: take money from other areas of true national security. That does not sound like a very good idea to me. I think everybody can agree that taking money from real national security issues and applying it to global warming as national security is more than dumb.It’s dangerous.
Two: Raise more money for national security. How do we do this? I don’t think I need to give you the answer, but I will any way. MORE TAXES.
This is something that I have been posting about here for a while. The real goal of global warming is to raise your taxes. I have been saying that voluntary carbon offsets would turn into mandatory carbon taxes. But this is something I never would have imagined. Linking global warming to national security. Once it’s there who could argue against taxes for national security?
Unless, of course, you happen to be fighting radical Islam.
Elizabeth Edwards says she is afraid of her rabid Republican neighbor.
All this time I thought Democrats were the compassionate ones, they embrace diversity. They do as long as you are not conservative, that is one area they are not interested in diversification.
Here are a couple of interesting excerpts from the article:
The Edwards family has yet to meet Johnson in person.“I wouldn’t be nice to him, anyway,” Edwards said.
Edwards views Johnson as a “rabid, rabid Republican” who refuses to clean up his “slummy” property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.
So she has never met him and has already decided she wouldn’t be nice to him anyway? That sounds like a real tolerant and caring person to me. She refers to him as rabid because he is a Republican.
In the second excerpt she refers to his property as slummy. What is not included in that excerpt is that his property is a 42 acre lot. That sounds like a pretty nice piece of land to me. I guess when your property is a 102 acre estate 42 acres would seem like a slum.
It looks like there are two Americas after all, when you look out of your estate and see a mere 42 acre piece of property and think it’s a slum, what is the world coming to.
MIT Scientist Disputes Man-Made Global Warming Theory
This MIT scientist is another example of how not all scientists are on board with the man-made aspect of global warming. The fact that scientists have a consensus, as we are told, means there are scientists out there who don’t believe it. Yet we don’t hear their side of the issue in the media.
We are told the debate is over yet I don’t remember there being a debate.
This scientist make a good point in the fact that they can’t predict what the weather is going to be like next week accurately, yet we are supposed to believe they can predict the weather years down the road.
More on New Hampshire’s new nanny state
You can read about it here.
Hopefully New Hampshire voters will realize we don’t want to be Massachusetts North or Vermont East. Unfortunately once these things start it’s hard to reverse them.
Like I’ve said before, I hope New Hampshire voters are happy, live free or die, yeah right.
The Truth about the Embryonic Stem Cell Debate
The truth about the embryonic stem cell research debate is that it is not about stopping the research. The way it is always talked about in the media you would think that the debate is about whether this research should be legal or not.
Here are a three excerpts from this article that show what the debate is about:
The Senate will consider two bills, one virtually identical to a bill vetoed by President George W. Bush last year that would have expanded and encouraged federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research.
The United States has no restrictions on research funded by private sources or by states and several, including California, are actively funding embryonic stem cell research.
The House of Representatives passed a bill in January that would expand federal funding of stem cell research
As you can see the true debate is over federal money to fund stem cell research. There are no restrictions on stem cell research, and there will be no restrictions on stem cell research if the new bill in congress is defeated.
The debate has been twisted into a debate about the legality of stem cell research, but as you can see that is not the case.
Fighting The War On Terror, And The Polls
There is an article here that talks about how in addition to fighting the terrorists, we are also fighting the polls.
As the article states, America’s elected officials are thought of as leaders by the American people. If they are truly leaders they wouldn’t sway in the breeze that is the polls. They are followers.
While they are elected to represent the people, there are times when they need to stand up and do what is right for the country. This may be unpopular but in the end history will look back and judge them fairly. George W Bush will be looked at in this way. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and many more will not. They put poll numbers ahead of what is right for the country, all to ensure re-election. America’s security be damned.
This article paints a very bleak picture in the middle east if we leave early and embolden the terrorists.
This article doesn’t go into how scary it is already getting in Europe. The European countries are so afraid of offending Muslims that countries are actually adopting Muslim law slowly but surely. A Muslim man in Belgium was awarded the right by a court to beat his wife because the Koran says it’s okay. This is Sharia law being applied in a non Muslim(for now) country.
John McCain Writes About His Recent Trip To Iraq
As most of you probably know, John McCain has just returned from another trip to Iraq. You can read his thoughts here. I am not a John McCain supporter but this is the one issue I do agree with him on.
He talks about the improvements he has seen over there. This man has credibility on this because he has been over there so many times, he has seen it first hand.
He also talks about how it hasn’t been covered properly in the media. It wouldn’t fit their agenda, so they just ignore it.
I recommend everyone read his piece in the above link.
