As we all know by now those loveable, intellectually challenged, Liberals revealed their party's carbon tax plan today.
The Liberal's head Dunce, party leader Stephane Dion said that his plan - The Green Shift - is "as powerful as it is simple."
Personally I agree with Mr. Dion ... the plan is simple! But then again what else would you expect from the simpletons occupying the opposition benches.
I leave the analysis of The Green Shift to my esteemed fellow bloggers and pundits, save for this one simple question. Afterall a simple plan demands a simple question.
Mr. Dion, please cite me just one instance in the entire illustrious history of Canada where any tax of any kind, at any time was revenue neutral. That dog simply don't hunt!!
The Green Shift is in fact The Green Shaft and you my friend are giving us the gears!!!

Why is Michael Reagan still on the Air?
Remember when Don Imus referred to members of the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy headded hoes?" Every major TV network, radio program, ink-stained wretch and social activist such as the Rev. Al Sharpton were all over Don Imus and his employer untill Mr. Imus was fired.
When Rush Limbaugh made a comment about black quarterbacks not being as good as white quarterbacks on ESPN, the usual suspects came jumping out of the woodwork and Mr. Limbaugh was forced to resign.
Granted, both comments were inappropriate and in poor taste. But how about Michael Reagan?
Seems that Ronald Reagan's adopted son was "bent out of shape" because a gentleman by the name of Mark Dice was sending "9/11 truth material" to U.S. troops.
So last week, on his nationally syndicated show Regan stated ........
........ "we should find the people who are doing this, take them out and shoot them." "You take them out, they are traitors to this country, and shoot them." "You have a problem with that? Deal with it! You shoot them! You call them traitors, that's what they are, and you shoot them. I'll pay for the bullets."
Oh my gosh Martha, there goes another Bushite/McCainanite falling off the back of a turnip truck!
Where's the hue and cry from the elitist corporate media in America clamoring for Mr. Reagan's firing? Where are the Al Sharpton's of the world or would they only kick-up a fuss about Reagan if Mr. Dice were not white?
Why has Mr. Reagan not been fired? I suppose that it wouldn't have anything to do with Mr. Reagan being a boot-licking Washington insider. Is it true that Mr. Reagan carries a box of tissues with him as he follows around his Repub cronies in the event that they stop too quickly?
Michael Reagan has gone beyond poor taste. He in fact has broken the law. Under California's Penal Code 422, it states:
Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which will result in death or great bodily injury to another person with the SPECIFIC INTENT THAT THE STATEMENT MADE VERBALLY, IN WRITING, OR BY MEANS OF AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICE IS TO BE TAKEN AS A THREAT EVEN IF THERE IS NO INTENT OF ACTUALLY CARRYING IT OUT, which is on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate and specific as to convey to the person threatened a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution of the threat and thereby causes that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own safety, or for his or her immediate family's safety ..............SHALL BE PUNISHED BY IMPRISONMENT IN THE COUNTY JAIL NOT TO EXCEED ONE YEAR OR BY IMPRISONMENT IN THE STATE PRISON.
Interesting that Mr. Reagan, a prominent Republican, has not yet been charged! Seems that he will continue to air his dirty laundry over the airwaves instead of the laundry detail at Levenworth.

John McCain Feels Your Pain!
EADS manufactures the Airbus. Recently the Defense Department awarded a $35 billion contract to EADS instead of to Boeing to build air fleet tankers.
By so doing, 44,000 well-paying U.S. jobs will now be winging their way to the Europeans ... but John McCain feels your pain!
It didn't seem to matter to John McCain and to the other Bozo's on the Beltway that the Boeing model is a more capable aircraft. That it produces 25% less carbon dioxide and offers a 24% fuel savings - fuel which you will be paying for courtesy of your income tax ... but John McCain still feels your pain!
John McCain (R-AZ) played a crucial role in blocking the deal going to Boeing!
Now if this wasn't stupid enough, after the deal was done and the contract for $35 billion was being handed over to the Europeans, your federal government has now decided to aggressively pursue legal action against EADS at the WTO for getting grants and loans at unfairly favorable rates, using illegal subsidies and winning exemptions from key national security laws .... outstanding due diligence fella's ... but John still feels your pain!
Is this another example of John McCain's Presidential ability? Oh Oh!
To suggest that John McCain and the deal-makers at the Defense Department are a bunch of idiots would be an insult to idiots!

An Army of Parasites!
A Blogger by the name of Paula (I'm sorry I do not have her last name) hits the nail on the head.
"The Credit Crunch is being spoken of as an act of God, but it of course was created by the banks. Some argue that the gullible should not have been sucked in, but if plausible striped-suit prestidigitators want to wander down the street throwing bundles of money into the air for us to catch it's a strong character who refuses them."
"They are responsible for the vast house price inflation throughout most of the world because it was in their interests to inflate - the bigger the loan the bigger the commission, the bigger the cut for lawyers, the builders, the real estate agents, the whole vast army of parasites feeding on a single host, housing."
"But now the host is dying and the parasites will die with it. A few corpse-feeders will do well; the pawnbrokers are already smiling, the lawyers are rapidly shifting to bankruptcy work."
"It has all been a wonderful scam in which we were all conned into thinking we had some money... we didn't. And, as it turns out, nor did they. The bundles they were throwing at us were illusory - money made out of thin air."
"Now they want their funny money back and will be disappointed when we give them our illusory wealth (our devalued houses) instead."

California Dreaming - Hardly!
The California city of Vallejo (population 117,000) has just made history by opting for Chapter 9 bankruptcy because of severe tax erosion resulting from a 26% decline in local house prices. Half Moon Bay might very well be next.
Orange County board chief John Moorlach is quoted as saying that "this is the tip of the iceberg; everybody is going to line up for Chapter 9 in California."
California Dreaming is about to become a nightmare!

The Elitists are Destroying America while Congress does Nothing!
Here's what the elitist psychopaths have managed to destroy so far!
- They have destroyed the real estate industry and have put millions of people out of work.
- They have caused a faltering U.S. economy.
- They have created an insane national debt with an equally insane trade deficit transforming America from the world's greatest creditor nation to the world's greatest debtor nation within the space of one single solitary decade.
- They have driven oil to levels that will decimate the entire world economy despite abundant domestic reserves of oil.
- They have created hundreds of trillions in derivatives that have virtually no collateralization, thus threatening the entire world financial system.
- They have inflated American's out of their wealth. Now there is very little left to spend to drive the U.S. economy.
- They have created the perfect financial storm which will suck America into a catastrophic hyperinflationary recession followed by a deflationary depression the likes of which have never been seen before in the entire history of the U.S.
- They have created trillions upon trillions in entitlements that cannot be possibly paid without reducing all of your benefits or drastically increasing your taxes.
- They have perpetrated one fraudulent financial scheme after another creating a credit crunch that threatens to annihilate bank capital.
- They have caused the price of food to skyrocket in America and food riots to break out around the globe while giant "agro-corporations" are earning record profits.
- They have plans to nationalize all the financial losses caused by Wall Street fraud and then put the Fed, and not the Government, in charge of the entire U.S. financial system when in fact their buddies at the Fed have been the root cause of virtually every problem in the American financial system!!!
This is the monster which both the domestic and global elitists have created. My hope is that their monster eats them alive. Yesterday would not be soon enough.
