Cap and Trade: want to pay $3k per year more in energy?

Everybody has money to throw away these days. An extra three thousand dollars is nothing. I hear my neighbors practically begging me to take their money from them, throwing large briefcases stuffed with cash on my lawn.

Anybody want to pay an extra $3,000 per year in electrical costs? Well that's what the Cap-and-Trade law just passed in Congress will require. You can read the research here.

Here's my problem with this bill: it's asinine. Global warming doesn't exist. Need proof? Global hurricane threats are at 30 year lows. The earth is cooler right now than it was in 1934. The earth is not warming folks. We had record low temperatures all winter. NASA (i.e. James Hansen) fabricated climate data from 1910-2008, when the real data clearly shows the earth on a cooling trend over the last century.

The earth is not warming. This is the biggest hoax in the history of mankind. The data speaks for itself. Our real concern should be global cooling. The earth is the earth, and the earth is going to warm and cool itself. There's only one thing that warms the earth, it's called the sun. Cutting down a tree isn't going to do it. The sun can, though. We cannot let these liberals use a false alarm, disingenuous fabrication, to limit the free market and ruin the economy.

Not only is this bill asinine, it's utterly unconstitutional. The government is not allowed to interfere in the free market and tell companies what types of energy they can buy, or what they are allowed to burn. The government should be interested in one thing alone, getting out of the way and allowing companies to make money. Yet this administration seems hell-bent on telling companies what kind of cars to buy, how many of their own trees the can cut down, and what type of fuel to burn. All to save a cooling planet from warming, to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and to rally a bunch of people around a needless cause.

This is the tragedy of liberalism. By darkening the minds of people who adhere to it, it takes perfectly capable men and women, and handicaps them. It keeps people full of potential from amounting to anything. It dangles a carrot of ambition and lures them with the lie that if they sell their minds they can do something great, like save a planet, only to splash the cold-water of the scientific fact that the planet's actually cooling by itself in their faces after it's too late, leaving them with nothing but the shame of life-long regret at their own ineptitude and wasted existence.
