In the Face of Economic Crisis, Obama Will Push Global Warming Hoax
Posted by Dave Blount at November 18, 2008 8:37 PM
If you think the economy is bad now, wait until January, when the same foxes that gave us the Fanny/Freddy crisis will officially be in sole custody of the henhouse. From Roto-Reuters:
Barack Obama said on Tuesday the United States would "engage vigorously" in climate change talks when he is president, and he pledged to work to reduce emissions sharply by 2020, despite the financial crisis.
The Democratic president-elect, who regularly criticized the Bush administration's attitude toward global warming, reiterated his plans to start a "cap and trade" system that limits carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from big industries.
The global warming farce continues, although if anything it's cold we have to worry about. That and government by people who do not wish us well.
A small child could predict the effect "cap and trade" will have on an economy already heading into a severe recession. It will be similar to the effect on the already plummeting stock market of raising capital gains taxes — as Obama has promised to do even though the result will be less revenue for the government, in the interests of inflicting "fairness" by punishing people for investing.
Soon after Obama takes control, the American economy is going to crash. The policies he will pursue could have no other outcome — nor are they intended to.
The worse the economy, the easier it is to strip us of the economic liberty that made this country rich. Ask the liberal media that brought about his election; the current cover of Time equates Obama with FDR, who prolonged the Great Depression with his socialist policies, and whose heavy hand set us on our course toward communism by increments.
Just as Stalin deliberately engineered famines to advance his objectives, killing millions in the process, we will soon witness a deliberately engineered depression.
When the smoke clears, this will be a different country. Maybe it will be a totalitarian Marxist state, which is the explicit objective of the milieu that produced Obama. Maybe we'll just be given a hard shove further left, so that our standard of living is permanently lowered by crippling taxes, regulation, government dependency, and the inefficiency that inevitably results from nationalization.
Or maybe — just maybe — Americans will revolt.
