One Price of Moonbattery: Unemployment

Congratulations to the environazis: they managed to close down Chevron's Richmond Refinery, throwing 1,000 people out of work.

I'm sure the flourishing polar bears appreciate it.

Think how many jobs would be created if relentlessly demonized energy companies were able to build new refineries without wading for decades through deliberately excessive regulations.

On a tip from Justin.

Multiply this single case by 1000 and you start to see the cost of feel-good environmental policies all over this country.

This is the same kind of thinking that leads to the prevention of new power plants being built; despite the fact that those new plants would be more efficient and produce less emissions than the old plants they would replace.

All this media blitz regarding the dumbass Gates, Cap and Trade and the Health Care is all smoke and mirrors to divert attention from what is really going on in this country. A massive hemorrhaging of jobs and the great sucking sound of money leaving this country.

I still think that quite a bit of that money used to bail out banks is long gone and we’ll never see it again. It wouldn’t surprise me to see that that money is in offshore accounts and when shit hits the fan, the powers that be will just leave this country to some Cayman type of island or Southern France, Southern Italy or Switzerland. If you have enough money you can live and hide forever.

The only thing that I think will work is massive revolt. Once unemployment runs out and the social security fund is completely depleted, our country will put the Iranian riots to shame. Now some of you might think I’m a conspiracy theorist and so be it. But I’ve been around ½ a century and I’ve seen this stuff unfold over time.

Every single elected official needs their ass booted out of office. Americans need to learn from these Acorn Assholes to organize and put together a huge united front. We need to learn and use the PC language the left does, but for a patriot agenda. It’s vital that we use the same tactics the left is using against us to defeat them.

There are more of us than them. There is more to the population than the left in DC, LA and NYC. Most of the left are such pussies they’d never survive a massive revolt. They’d be forced to follow our ideology of patriotism of American sovereignty.

This is what I’m doing. I read the many blogs daily to see what is going and keep abreast of the news. I’m growing my own food and am learning to can and stockpile freeze dried food. I look like a typical average American so you’d never guess I’m a survivalist. I know how to shoot a gun, trap wild game and use a bow and arrow. I’m physically strong so I can defend myself if necessary. I’m also becoming politically involved and have joined groups and network on a constant basis.

It’s vital to keep and maintain good friendships in your community. There are surely likeminded individuals who feel the way we all do on this blog.

They shouldn't be complaining... 97% of the black comunity voted for Odumbo so THEY are getting EXACTLY what they wanted.

The truly sad thing is that NONE of them realized it when they voted.

The morons who run around following Al Gore and believe in his idiotic fantasy or run around trying to save some mouse or weird grasslasnd are the criminals and the problem with this situation.

I can only pray that those who fell for the socialists lies last time wont do it again.....

Just wait, soon they will nationalize the oil industry because of layoffs and bankruptcy caused by Crap N Trade.

Black guys lost their jobs? Tough shit! Don't tell me you're the one black guy who voted Republican.
You got your boy in the WH? Now get to the back of the free cheese and baloney line, no affirmative action here boy!

Call me crazy, you won't be the first, but this may come down to whether a white military officer will order American troops to fire on white American civilians!

Spot on Janet.

Econazis put all those brown people out of work! Good job, Moonbats.

Janet, I suggest you learn to brew beer and stockpile cigarettes. Smokes and booze are going to command heavy premiums when the crap hits the fan.

Posted by: Henry at July 30, 2009 7:19 AM

Cowlove, thank you for saying that.

Henry, that's a good idea. Stockpiling cigarettes. Since I don't smoke they could just pile away. I've thought about taking a class how to brew beer. Remember the show Beverly Hillbillies? I'm Ellie Mae (well I act like her). Definitely out of place in Southern California!

When we have massive homelessness and I think it will happen you'll see massive squatting. There will be so many people squatting police won't be able to do anything about it.

The media is not telling the public how many empty houses there are. At night when I do my walk, I see many McMansions EMPTY. The owners or the developers park their cars there to make it look like they're occupied. One McMansion went from 1 million to 1/2 a million. Still not selling, no one has any money. The lights are on timers to make it look like someone is there.

I'm also seeing a lot of angry people. You know why? The credit card is maxxed out. No more mall shopping. All the little princesses here in Southern California have lost their Visa card and actually have to do something instead of spending.

I also think you're going to see a lot of divorces soon. When more men continue to lose their jobs, the marriage will be over as the woman was only in it for the cushy life style.

Well for one thing, a revolution will certainly thin the herd and separate the wheat from the chaff.

The court agreed with the community that Chevron's EIR was bogus. Try again.

Here is a list of all the toxins that Chevron currently pumps out over the community every year.

Ellie Mae, huh? Complete with double barrel slingshot? lol Where in SoCal? Ventura County here.

Actually, it would be better to stockpile bulk smooth tobacco (lower SCHIP taxes) -- lower cost up front, with the same premium after The Crash.

No need for classes to brew beer; if you really want to learn, I'll share my knowledge. It's very easy to get started.

You're right about the uptick in divorces: My wife is a family law attorney (strictly divorces) and her office is taking on new cases every day. Yes, many of the women are in it for the money. They had a case where their client was divorcing his wife, and she claimed in their settlement conference, on the record, that she deserved more because she had "a million dollar vagina". I kid you not. LOL LOL

The ironic thing is, if this was a union shop, how many of these union workers voted themselves out of a job in the 2008 Presidential elections?

Posted by: J at July 30, 2009 6:35 PM

Henry, I'm in Orange County.

But I grew up in Oklahoma. By the time I was about 12 and my brother about 7, the men in our family took the two of us out target practicing with guns. We shot beer cans and bullseye target thingies, whatever they're called. We learned to respect guns. I carried a .38 revolver when I was going to school and working at nights.

They also took us deer hunting, fishing (I can't stand to bait a fish, ugh) and bow and arrow hunting. We were shown how to clean an animal and skin it, (ugh). My brother loved it, I hated it. But I remember how to do it if I had to survive.

Yes, Ellie Mae. My family were simple but good folks. The ones that are still alive are good honest people.

I'm pretty good at predicting trends, but I'm no psychic. The gravy train of unsustainable mall shopping and home equity line loans to pay off MasterCard and Visa are so over.

I'm just riding out the storm and watching in amazement at some of these dumb asses crawl deeper and deeper into debt. While the rest of Orange County was in an orgy of shopping, I was riding my bike, surfing, crocheting, sewing and saving money by living a simple life.

Janet, I'm coming to your place when the fit hits the shan! You go lady! It was only a matter of time before all of the overspending and overborrowing imploded on itself. Mortgage lenders and Wall Street execs have taken a lot of heat, but too many people up and down the food chain willingly participated in the self-destruction of our economy.

Posted by: LittleMissPerfect at July 31, 2009 12:02 AM

LittleMissPerfect, come on down! I've got an extra board for you to surf or boogie board on.

It's imperative that everyone gets out of debt now, especially CC debt. My ex MIL had over 50K in CC debt when my hubby was alive. I still to this day do not know what she spent all that money on.

If I go to Target and spend $10 I'm there an hour and wanna go home! I hate malls. Hate em. But now since they're empty as no one has any money, I'm tempted to go down during the day since it's so hot here and cool off. Maybe do a power walk around the mall.

In my business I talk to a lot of people during tax season. That is why I predict the big divorce boom in the next 12 - 18 months. Women traded on their looks to land the trophy husband (aka rich one) so they can sit on their ass and do nothing. Now the trophy husband has no money and she's gone.

It was usually the husband that came in to do his his taxes and then the wife would come in and sign the documents. Time and time again the men would complain that the wife was spending him into oblivion, bigger house, cuter clothes for the kids, newer car, etc. I had one client tell me he hated his wife and when the kids were 18 he was dumping her ass.

If all of you only knew how many people are in trouble with taxes, you'd be appalled. I've had clients who haven't filed taxes in years and now the government is breathing down their neck as they need the money.

It's been a house of cards here that was inevitably going down the tube.

I don't give a damn what others think of me. That's probably why I look younger than I am. I do what I want when I want.
