Jesus and the Carbon Traders

Fact: like firearms, business is amoral. Which is what it’s supposed to be. However, when it’s used to defraud and diminish liberty, it can be infuriating.

Even Jesus lost his infinite patience with the temple moneychangers. Roughly two thousand years later Ferdinand Porsche was designing the Tiger tank and Hugo Boss was designing uniforms for the SS.

So conservatives should not expect big business support exposing the global warming hoax or pushing back cap and trade.

A few days ago Johnny met with a former colleague. He’s a stand-up guy and all business. And for the past couple of years his business has been trading carbon credits among big corporate players.

For him, his financial associates, and the global corporate culture, this cap and trade stuff is just one more business opportunity. Glossy brochures. Slick logos. Embossed cards. To paraphrase Don Barzini, “After all, these men aren’t communists.”

Does the cooked global warming data makes an difference? Only if it changes government policy. They knew it was bullshit before the data leak.

They’re going to go where the money is. And the money right now is getting a piece of the cap and trade windfall.

If conservative defeat cap and trade politically, business will simply cut its losses and move on to the next money-making proposition. Hopefully it’s something more productive than the nullity of temple moneychanging papal indulgences carbon credits.

Global Lying

Climategate coverage here, here and here.

A rare defence with links here.

Global Warming zealots won’t be phased one tiny bit this information. GW is a religious belief on the Left that helps them destroy Capitalism and Free Markets. If someone isn’t turned off Marxism based on the Soviet experience, a few scientific documents won’t make much of a dent.

However, hopefully the go-along get-along corporate suits will use the stack of emails to protect their shrivelled gonads as they back out of expensive, useless, and damaging “green projects”.

Conservative activists and shareholders now have an excellent opportunity to lobby companies to dump these destructive schemes.

KSM and You

The civilian trial of the 9/11 conspirators is a Trojan horse.

Even if the KSM and his merry band of nephew-touchers are convicted, hanged, shot, injected, etc. the damage to the American legal system will be catastrophic.

In fact, the more effective the prosecution and severe the punishment, the worse it will be. Keep in mind that as an American citizen you may someday be at the mercy of such a court.

Americans and free people around the world want to see justice done. However how can anyone trust a system that gives a wink and nod to principles such a presumption of innocence when trying exceptional cases?

The way the State works, soon, every case becomes exceptional.

The court is expected to find the defendants guilty. If they are, Americans will cheer en mass. But the system will be dangerously compromised. In the hands of an ideological zealot, such a system can be used to slam-dunk domestic political enemies as well as foreign ones.

Like all tyrant wannabes, Obama needs a compliant court system to purge his political and what he considers his Class Enemies. His decision to try the terrorists in civilian courts is not about the war on terror as it is his war on liberty. All the while getting credit for the successful prosecution of foreign terrorists.

Stalin made the same move in the late 1920’s when he successfully tried and convicted a group of German technicians for the crime of “wrecking.” The trials were the start and precedent for the infamous Show Trials during the Great Purge of the 1930’s.

Sadly, the “better” the NYC 9/11 trial outcomes (conviction, execution) the worse it will be for American citizens. One of the greatest systems of justice will be gang-banged while the people cheer.

Johnny knows you come here for answers, but this is one seriously fucked up situation. One can hope the judge declares a mistrial based on lack of jurisdiction and saves the world. In such a case, the defendants would not be protected by double jeopardy.

Obowman

Bowing and scraping is entirely proper in the thin-skinned, jug-eared Blowhard-in-Chief’s universe. And not for the first time.

Now, Obama didn’t bow before Queen Elizabeth. Unlike Japan and Saudi Arabia, England hasn’t tried to ruin America’s shit enough times.

That all said, it may be prudent to keep Obama’s behavior in mind when you meet President Caliph yourself. Get nice and low and don’t look Him directly in the eye. Or look at his ears for chrissakes. What were you thinking? Look at his tie. That’s safe.

The video looks like scene from a movie that makes fun of the Ugly American...the guy who doesn’t bother learning the local customs or takes the customs to irrational extremes.



There’s no audio so we don’t know if His Earness spoke loudly and slowly to Mr. and Mrs. Emperor. You know, to be understood better.

“Yes, Your the weather has been unseasonably warm. CAN. YOU. TELL. ME. THE. WAY. TO. THE. TRAIN. STATION?”

Hey, it could all be a big misunderstanding. He may have thought they were the Chinese.

This is a Nork voter bowing before a head shot of the Dear Leader. Note the poor depth of the bow. Mr. Bigger-Than-GM-And-Chrysler-Put-Together does it waaaaaay better.

Dede Scozzafava Takes One For The Team

Yes, the outpouring of praise for Scozzafava turned to shock, surprise, and disappointment at her endorsement for the Democrat Owen.

But can Dede really be considered an amoral, empty suit skank for her act of perfidy?

Scozzafava did conservatives a huge favor. Thanks to her actions, every liberal Republican will be now considered a back-stabbing DIABLO (Democrat In All But Name Only - h/t Mark Steyn pbuh) instead of a Thoughtful Ally of Representative Democracy (TARD).

Dede has selflessly sacrificed her credibility and honor for a greater cause. And yet she wouldn‘t be the first. Remember Cagney‘s final scene in Angels With Dirty Faces?

(Cagney) plays the good boy turned bad and winds up as a gangster. The boys from the neighborhood (the Dead End Kids) idolize Cagney even though he is a villain and admire the wealth and esteem he has managed to acquire. His lifelong friend, a priest played by O’Brien, counsels Cagney about setting a bad example on the kids and asks that he goes “straight”. Cagney refuses and is eventually caught and sentenced to die in the electric chair. (On the way to the execution) O’Brien asks Cagney to act scared in order to discourage The Dead End kids from a life of crime. Cagney refuses but as the curtain closes you see him being strapped into the chair and all the while he is struggling and screaming “I don't want to die! I don't want to die!”. The movie ends and one is left wondering if Cagney listened to the priest or if he was indeed, afraid of dying and was finally revealing his cowardice.* (Everything2.com)

So thanks Dede! We hope you didn‘t go quietly into that Democratic endorsement gas chamber or electric chair or whatever the unions are using now.

Today and until Gabriel sounds his trumpet, Dede will bear the shame and take her place among the yammering mobs of Leftists. But those in know understand that she can not break cover as the most brilliant conservative operative since Lee Attwater. We must think of her service and say a quiet prayer.

Props to Dede. Thanks to this deep cover conservative every liberal Republican will be thought of as a D-bag. Even a double D-bag, or in short, a Dede-bag.

*Knuckles Analysis™: The answer of course was that Cagney‘s character felt the natural fear of knowing the moment and the certain violence of his death. He was less able to control this fear because at some level he‘d rather have the respect of O’Brien than the hero worship of the Dead End Kids boy band.

Same cosmetic surgeon?

Says here it’s Michael Jackson mask. But it’s really Nancy Pelosi.
