PALOMINO!!

PALOMINO!!

I was THERE.

Ok, I’ll turn off moonbat mode for the remainder of the weekend.

Biofuels can and do work, particularly biodiesel, which is made from soybeans and is a perfect substitute for the fossil fuel version.

It’s not perfect.

It still costs more in production and adds maintenance costs (filter and oil change frequency).

It gels at cold temperatures. Methods to combat this raise costs more. Tank warmers are one suggested method. But, you can’t shut off the engine in cold weather. Does that make sense?

Biodiesel also hold water; decreasing efficiency and increasing corrosion. Keep in mind the water can also freeze and strand you. Maybe global warming can help?

Biodiesel is good but it is far from perfect.

I was being sarcastic about what transpired in the 90s.

Theo Van Gogh was an “ultra-liberal” Dutchman, and he got shot repeatedly and had his thoat slit and a steak knife was plunged into his chest with a jihadist manifesto attached, for all of his “liberalism“.

His crime: opposing Islamic extremism in Holland.

And the “conservative” Nick Berg, a young entrepreneur businessman in the communications field, went to Iraq to help set up their electronics infrastructure and ended up getting his head removed by jihadist Zarqawi and his Islamofascist henchmen for all his efforts.

His crime: trying to help normal Iraqis.

It isn’t “conservative” or “liberal” to want to preserve the highest Civilization yet known to humanity from terroristic retrograde tyrants.

These silly dichotomies only weaken us all when we need to unite against the return of the hordes of the pedophile warlord.

(Russia, for all of its short-sighted panderings to Iran, etc., is only a nuisance to the U.S., and is being used by the jihadist, not the other way around, whatever realpolitik Neo-Soviet delusions Putin’s claque wants to imagine.)

He hung around with the wrong kids…there are a lot of conservatives at Cal who aren’t there to march around and act like fools–they’re there to get an education, and that you can do very handily at Berkeley if you’re so inclined.

I know this is true because I was one of them. I was actually a conservative before I went to Cal (I registered to vote as a Republican within days of turning eighteen), but my expreiences there sort of reinforced my beliefs.

I’ll tell you a funny story–one that I should probably post on my own blog, but more people would read it here.

Berkeley in the nineties was a very different place from Berkeley in the sixties, seventies, ore even the eighties. In the nineties, when I was there, a lot of students were there to get degrees in engineering, computer science, business, and other disciplines which left them little time for protests, were they interested in studying hard and keeping up with the curve.

Now, around the same time, California voters passed Proposition 209, which was supposed to ban race-based affirmative action. For some students with a lot of time on their hands, this was an outrage. They formed a group called the Coalition to Defend Affitmative Action By All Means Necessary. They emphasized the latter part of their name by referring to themselves as BAMN.

Now, before and immediately after 209 was passed, there were massive protests on campus. But after a while, the students started going back to class, and the BAMN people didn’t seem to have as much support as they’d had before.

One day, I was walking through Sproul Plaza, where many of the affirmative action protests had taken place, and where many students gathered from day to day just to sit on the steps of buildins to eat lunch and hang out. I suddenly heard a strident female voice coming from Sproul Hall, the Administrative building, through a bullhorn. Members of BAMN had actually barricaded themselves into the administration building and were exhorting other Berkeley students to join them in their protest.

There are plenty of Surnows at Cal at any given time. I’m just glad that he became successful and will speak about his political leanings.

As i stated, there is no substitute that can be cheaper in the short and long run. It actually takes a rediculously amount of corn to make a gallon of ethanol. Until we find a way to turn common house hold garbage into fuel, like Back to the Future, oil will always be the cheapest, even with all the taxes from congress.

On a separate note: Michelle, Bryan, Allah and friends… How come you never talk about biofuels like biodiesel and ethanol here? Why don’t you show a little love for the resourceful goodness of nature? A popular conservative site like HA could be a good platform for discussing these sorts of things.

Ethanol is a big lie. It takes more energy to make than it produces.

I don’t know about the others, but I would suspect that they aren’t nearly as good a deal as they sound like either.

During the 90s, Clinton was in office and all was fine in the world

Allowing North Korea to use our $$ and aid to further their nuclear program was fine? To refuse to pull the trigger on Bin Laden several times was fine? To refuse custody of Bin Laden was fine? To cheat on your wife is fine? (If you cheat on your wife and family I have to question what or who else you’ll betray) To cut funding to the military and CIA was fine, thus resulting in the body armor debacle in the beginning stages of the Iraq war Part 2 and the lack of reliable human intel that lead to the invasion? I am military active duty and I remember those cuts. His cuts were the reason our supply and logistics was years behind schedule when Bush took office.

All was not fine, and all was most certainly not dandy. All was just put off to a later date and Bush had to deal with it.

John – It has always been like this. I just don’t know if it was as bad in the past (80’s and 90’s) as it is now with liberals practically attacking conservatives whenever they try to speak or hold a rally at colleges (sometimes the did get violent). Free speach is no longer a 2 way street it seems.

I like the show “Scrubs” myself.

During the 80s, there was Alex P. Keaton (Family Ties). He was what Hollywood and the left perceived Republicans to be (his parents, of course, were the more reasonable, down-to-earth people – who also happened to be former 60s protesters). During the 90s, Clinton was in office and all was fine in the world – Republicans were seen as almost extinct (even though 1994 was the turning point in Congress).

Yeah, I know… Rah rah USA, Jack Bauer saves the day!

Look, 24 is the slowest, most boring show I have ever seen in my life. I would rather watch an infomercial.

John on February 16, 2007 at 8:55 PM

awww… don’t take it so hard John. Be like Jack!

When life gives Jack Bauer lemons… he kills terrorists with them!

Jack Bauer hates lemonade.

LOL You might as well be preaching “Nuke gay whales for Jesus”.

I love my 30-06 and my 30-30, .410, 20, and 20 gauges, not lucky enough to have antlers on the wall yet but i do have a very large fox hide though. God bless America.

Throwback. Troglodyte. Knuckledragger. FREE.

Megadittoes on Scrubs, Guapo.

LOL….MegaDittoes to anyone who says “megadittoes”!

you are correct about biodiezel. that is a different story. you can even purify and filter old french fry oil and just put it strait in your tank.

but the point i was trying to get at is congress is so money hungry that in order to offest their loss of tax revenue from the lost oil market they will either have ot tax the green energy sources or raise the tax rates elsewhere. this is why i believe congress, especially tax happy democrats, secretly love oil companies.

the demand just isnt there yet because there still is not a true cheaper alternative to oil. as soon as someone finds a way to make green energy for cars that is cheaper in both the short and long run, and can get the motor companies to use that technology, the market will finally explode. and watch how congress reacts to prevent their loss of oil tax revenue that we all pay at the pump.

Megadittoes on Scrubs, Guapo.

Don’t tell me it’s not political.

Viewtifulgare on February 16, 2007 at 9:39 PM

Political, and anti-Christian. I used to watch regularly, and I especially like former senator Fred Thompson.
They still have a good episode, from time to time, but often let their bias show way too much. They should stick with writing a good, intriguing plot. When they don’t, I turn them off.

That is as messed up as Gary Buesy (spelling?) making that Turkish movie and about US troops and a jewish doctor steeling Iraqi organs for the black market. Any more proof Hollywood is smoking bananas?

Less than a month ago, they made an episode where disgruntled U.S. soldiers tape an execution of a ‘random arab’. Earlier than that, they made an episode describing a guy representing the minutemen as murderers.

Don’t tell me it’s not political.
