Obama, Communists, Tyre Pressures , Oil Non-Drilling and Other Follies

Politics usually culminates as a congealed gaggle of lies, vainglorious assaults on  the fringes of truth, the celebration of identity politics or Marxism, a general intimidation of the voters and fear-mongering. Today, we see things have not changed much. The current frantic attempt to avoid any increases in the supply of oil is so that our economy can be ‘saved.’ What they want is for our economy to crash.  They hate capitalism.

The Lie: That Global Warming Climate Change is anthropogenic [this means ‘man made’ for those in Philly and Baltimore] and presents doom is a joke. CO2 levels do not correlate with temperature changes around the world. Sun activity does correlate. The rabid leftists cannot figger out a way to tax the sun yet, but they will try.  

The Tyre Pressure Comment:

“There are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. Making sure your tires are properly inflated — simple thing. But we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling — if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You’d actually save just as much!”[1]—Barack Hussein Obama on his birthday.

Actually not and it does not matter anyway:

[1] If everybody drove on under inflated tyres then they might have a case of saving 1% of the oil consumption. The difficulty with this is that most people have their tyres properly inflated so if only 10% were wasting gas mileage that would amount to a maximum of 0.10 % saving. This is as phony as Obama suggesting we use some or our oil reserve that would add less than 4 days to our oil supply. This is only 1% of our usage. So, this is what? A 1% decrease in price if averaged out is going to substitute for more drilling?? Is that 4 cents per gallon!

[2] Liberals are dead set against growth as Paul Krugman[2] and Kenneth Rogoff[3] never fail to   mention. They cannot stand growth in capitalist systems as this reduces their power.  An economic growth of only 1% wipes out these ‘conservation measures’ and does nothing to increase supply. That is the leftist ruse. At a mere 4% growth this tyre pressure shaggy dog story would expire in only 4 months, a long-term solution to our oil problem.

[3] Alternative fuels are a joke and ethanol is not feasible. We could use natural gas thought as T. Boon Pickens advises.  Even the NYT admits this that as we read from an article entitled Grains Gone Wild[4]. There is no battery yet imagined that will allow electric cars to substitute for oil propelled models as the current batteries  are too heavy and what would we use to produce electricity to charge the batteries? Oh! Coal or natural gas! How about nukes? Are the liberals thinking or are they just stirring the monkey pus again? Liberals need an outlet like the monkeys have at the zoo: throwing feces to calm the nerves.[5]

This Tyre Pressure Pressure is just a phony ruse to grunt and grab for power. We could save more energy if all Californians recycled food [coprophagy[6]] and turned off their air conditioners. That would save some serious energy. Recall that vegetarians produce more methane gas than meat eaters and they contribute more to greenhouse gases. Termite poop gas is a major contributor to Climate Change according to scientific current thinking so why not gets rid of the termites? They are not exactly an endangered species, yet. Can termites vote in California or Massachusetts?

The historical and Magnificent Marxist use of tyres.

Now, we must look at some history on tyres and pressures of various sorts. Necklacing [7] [a celebration of identity politics] uses tyres [tires] and gasoline to intimidate voters on which way they should vote. The charming and gifted Winnie Mandela used her tyres in this manner:

““…with our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.” [8]

This was the ANC’s most potent and persuading political instrument in South Africa. But, does this produce CO₂? When the ANC[9] announced the election of its National Executive Committee on December 21, 2007 Mandela came in first place with 2845 votes.[10] She hangs on nicely in Marxist politics even though she is a sadistic murderer. Such is a great example of identity politics. She should run for Congress or maybe governor of New YorkState.

The ANC are communists, of course, and Senator Obama, barrowing heavily from Winnie Mandela’s political tactics, has strong connections to the Marxists and radicals of the 60s and earlier. His ‘mentor’ in his book [“Frank” or Frank Marshall Davis] was a dedicated communist.[11] He admires Bill Ayers, a known radical and bomber.

How about this as a liberal theme:

““…with our tyres and tyre gauges we shall liberate this country.” 

Is this cluster of Marxist hooey and gas-bag EcoNazism just a coincidence? Are these phony scientists and radical political activists for real? Does anybody really believe their imbecilic fluff?  Is there some leftist political tenet that blends black radical politics with Marxism and Tyres? Machiavelli suggested that you only work the old proven political levers and not be inventive.[12] That may be what is happening here.  With the polls sagging and the facts oozing out of the history books about O’Bozo the Afro-Leninist [13]the Democrats are becoming restless and are groping for a new tactic.

The anti-growth bunch is exemplified by Al Gore and his EcoNazis [14] who want a NO DRILL policy for the United States while allowing China and Indian and anybody else to drill away. It seems we need to let them ‘catch’ up and then they can cut back.

 So, buy a tyre gauge and put it in your pocket or make a necklace out of it to show your friends that you understand the Marxist joke here. And, it is a joke as always. Also, somebody from California should mail a truck load of absentee ballots to Winnie Mandela while they learn to enjoy the ecological splendor of coprophagy[15], an attention getting tool yet to be fully explored. That will make a difference in the smog out there on the left coast. O’Bozo needs the votes Winnie can supply.  

By the way, what is California doing with its old tyres?

Vote out these parasites!

Obama and the Tax and Spend Liberal’s Solution to Oil: Spend and Tax and Defeat Capitalism

While we can dismiss the errant blathers of Paul Krugman[1] and his familiar Thomas Friedman[2] of the Walter Duranty Papers[3]--as mere crude anti-economic sorcery we still have to contend with the energy crisis and how we [1] get free of the Islamo-Fascisti and their parasitic stooges like Hugo Chavez and [2] increase the supply of oil that will eventually, against the dire wishes of the far left and their signals lower the cost of gasoline. Friedman has recently taken a little boat ride with some drooling socialist to sob about melting ice at Greenland’s Kangia Glacier, a land that was once green that suddenly froze over and sent the Vikings scurrying back to warmer climes and that may soon be returned to its original state where the inhabitants can again grow stuff instead of bawl about the US, gurgle and purr about socialism and eat fish. What covered this place in ice 1000 years ago? CO2 from Buicks and coal plants? Not those, probably sun activity.

Hs emotional comment is “And now our leaders are telling them the way out is “offshore drilling” for more climate-changing fossil fuels.”[4]

There is no connection between climate and energy usage. Fact. [5]

Of course, the history of Greenland and elsewhere shows that greenhouse gases did NOT cause these ice formations and their melts, but facts only irritate a good freak show where taxes are the topic of the day. The left can survive only on the tax and spend mechanism. As such, we expect any scare tactic or incoherent computer model to predict doom so we must Save the Planet and impress the anti-drilling mantra N.O.P.E on all [not on planet Earth]. We all know Global Warming ah….Climate Change is a farce and a mere tax-whoring project of Jovian proportions.[6]

So, what do they suggest? Oh! Pump up your tires! That will save 2%! How wonderful.

The problem here is about the economic laws of supply and demand, two items that our krugmaniacal non-economist from Princeton cannot coherently discuss and the need to increase the supply in the future because of growth, another economic vector that our politico at the Times cannot handle. The left is essentially anti-growth as growth allows the good citizens to grow out of socialism and big government. Growth is their political holocaust and they fight it with all the foam and froth they can muster.  They can only depress our economy with bans and high taxes. They cannot allow cheap energy because that keeps us ahead of third world and their chronic problems.

But, the angry voters, now numbering somewhere around 70%, are aware that 4$ gas is costing them a bunch so the libs have to mollify the anger with something: money from spending and taxation and debt.

Spend and Tax! Or is it Tax and Spend? The order might be important.

The new boy-on-dah-block with an oil message is Evan Bayh who has an impressive taxation voting record that favors taxation and spending while suppressing oil exploration and production:[7]

Voted YES on addressing CO2 emissions without considering India & China.

‘Voted YES on removing oil & gas exploration subsidies.

Voted YES on making oil-producing and exporting cartels illegal.

Voted YES on factoring global warming into federal project planning.

Voted YES on disallowing an oil leasing program in Alaska's ANWR.

Senator Bayh was on Fox News this morning and wants to give out some money to the voters and also use up some of our oil reserves. He is mentioned as a possible VP for O’Bozo.  He wants to give the lower classes tax money or tax credits but that will not increase the supply or lower costs. The price of oil is dropping because of supply and demand—not some magical governmental action. 

The Chief Tax Whore B. Hussein O’Bozo has  offered this plan, celebrated by the Huffington Post:[8] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise stated.

“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's proposal for a windfall profits tax on oil companies could cost $15 billion a year at last year's profit levels, a campaign adviser said.

The plan would target profit from the biggest oil companies by taxing each barrel of oil costing more than $80, according to a fact sheet on the proposal. The tax would help pay for a $1,000 tax cut for working families, an expansion of the earned- income tax credit and assistance for people who can't afford their energy bills.”

So, we need to reduce costs and increase supply and O’Bozo wants to add 0.2 x 120  in tax to Exxon’s oil costs? That will lower the cost of gas??That is another 24$ per barrel at the current cost. At $150 per barrel, the kind of number Hugo Chnavez[9] likes it would rise to .2 x 150 or $30 per barrel raising the cost to $180 per barrel!

At $180 per barrel the gas would rise to about $5 pergallon and that would give them 200 gallons of gas or 4 gallons per week to drive around on.

Notice the mindless tax and spend at all costs mentality here? Hillary wanted to put on a 50 bln dollar punitive tax on oil companies. Tapping into our reserves would, at the current numbers, add less than 4 days oil supply and that is a mere 1% of the yearly outlay. Gee, nice economics guys.

Tax tax tax and hike oil prices! Anybody miss this trend?

BaloneyBayh states from his website:

“Senator Bayh advocates a redirection in oil consumption and greater investment in innovations and technologies, such as hybrid vehicles and homegrown ethanol, to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”[10]

Didn’t the NYT recently  poo pooh this notion as it raise the cost of food and is inefficient? Is Indiana a corn state and is he pandering to his constituents? Duh? Did he get a corn bribe?

In a New York Times article entitled Grains Gone Wild[11], the Times’ noisiest non-economist waxes economic for our amusement.[12]

“Over the past few years the prices of wheat, corn, rice and other basic foodstuffs have doubled or tripled, with much of the increase taking place just in the last few months. High food prices dismay even relatively well-off Americans — but they’re truly devastating in poor countries, where food often accounts for more than half a family’s spending.” — Paul Krugman New York Times. [Note: All quotes here have my emphasis and refer to the article Grains Gone Wild unless otherwise indicated.]

Notice the incoherency here. Ethanol is a pipedream as we don’t have enough land to grow that much corn anyway, an easy calculation to make and one that makes authors of such nonsense look like drooling idiots, the usual leftist visualization. We have most of the world’s energy reserves counting coal and the leftists see this prospect as hopeless for their socialist, racist, anti-white and Marxist causes.

The facts are quite stark and nasty:

The Tax and Spend Democrats will do or say anything to prevent growth.

Here is an article about Kenneth Rogoff( a former formidable chess opponent of mine at Yale) who is an anti-growth liberal who majored (in the early 70s at least)  in Russian Economics at Yale.

Kenneth Rogoff: We Need a Recession (Well, at Least a Slowdown)

“Even though we agree that recessions are Bad Things, we also think there are things worse than letting recessions occur. For instance, we are now seeing that keeping the party going way too long leads to more brutal adjustments in the end. And there is some evidence that there is no free lunch, that forestalling a recession leads to lower than potential output in the good times.

Rogoff, in a Financial Times comment, contends we need a slowdown for different reasons: he views the efforts at stimulus as a dangerous, misguided way to try to evade the need to restructure the financial system. Even though his forecast of oil falling as low as $75 a barrel may strike some readers as extreme. note that the famous Goldman research that called for a "super spike" of $150 to $200 a barrel this year also called for prices a few years out at $75. He also says, mirable dictu[13], that financial firms need to fail because the industry is unsustainably large.”[14]

 Isn’t that great! If our economy is ‘unsustainably large’ perhaps we need to fail for that reason. That would do two things: [1] reduce our oil dependency and save the Icelanders from seeking air conditioning and [2] give the leftists an opportunity to provide jobs for all of us growing corn for energy. Using this logic maybe China and India and Africa need to ‘fail’ because their populations are is unsustainably large for their food supplies!

This is the kind of mindless fluff that ruins economies.

 So, what do these leftists want?

Should we degrade our society and put us into poverty while China and India take over the use of energy and prosper?

Yes:

From Ed Koch some time back:

“The argument offered by China, India and other developing countries is clear and direct. Said Lu Xuedu, the deputy director general of the Chinese Office of Global Environmental Affairs, "You cannot tell people who are struggling to earn enough to eat that they need to reduce their emissions." China's intent is to put the United States and Europe in a difficult economic position where standards of living will be reduced until developing countries rise to the standard of the U.S.At that point the developing countries will be required to reduce their emissions.[15]

Catch-up football?

President Bush has been attacked by Al Gore and his supporters for resisting a treaty [that was the phony Kyoto Treaty  ed] that could inflict economic harm on the American people. Does Al Gore seriously think that we should reduce the U.S. standard of living until developing countries -- formerly called Third World countries until that term was discarded as demeaning-- catch up with us economically? -- catch up with us economically?”Article by Ed Koch December 18, 2007[16]

You bet he does!

Let us take a deep look at these people and ask: what do they want for the US?

The answers are:

[1] They hate American ideals and life and our economy  and want our capitalist system to fail.[17] [18] [19]

[2] They are anti-Christian[20] and want to favor either atheism or Islamo-Fascism.[21]

[3] They are anti-white racists. [22] [23] [24]

[4] They want the US to be a third world dung heap.

High energy prices are the way to bring us down to third world levels. Think about this………

Do not vote for a liberal. They hate us.
