Flying 50 Stars

I repent! The earth is flat and the sun revolves around it!

And, according to the infallible One, the sun has absolutely no effect upon the climate: it’s all your cows, automobiles, hair spray, and your nasty habit of exhaling!

Off to re-education camp!!! (Leave your wallet here with us…for…uh…safekeeping!! Yeah, that’s it, safekeeping!)

Yes, yes, NASA is for peaceful purposes but the technologies developed for it were quite handily transferrable to defensive and offensive machines. The growth of the defense industries forced growth in the electronics industries. The growth in the electronics industries is in my opinion just the sector of industry that has made our lives so much more efficient, productive and manageable of grander task loads and creature comforts. It was greatness on Kennedy’s part to raise the bar for a grand science-fiction goal so impossibly high that the ingenuity of the US made it happen.

Again we encounter a very grand science-fiction goal – ok, ok, it’s a flat out lie – of changing the climate of the planet by condemning the granular and molecular essence of our existence. What new technology does BO imagine may emerge and serve society while increasing our offensive and defensive strengths, and make our lives yet more efficient, productive and manageable? I’m not saying that we are at a technological lull and couldn’t use a good inspiring push – I’m saying I doubt that tackling Global Climate Change is as suitably inspirational as Kennedy’s man – moon challenge turned out to be.

If we reposition our policies on domestic energy mining and production, we don’t have to import oil and we sure as yesterday is behind us don’t need to give our excesses away. Scrubbing pollutants at their sources is much more efficient and much less expensive, on the whole, than abandoning the energy production that is currently the backbone of our existence. All the stuff to generate clean electricity has been around since Michael Faraday invented the electric generator. The generation of green electricity is empirically less efficient and has impossible returns on investment to justify the expense involved in declaring a war on carbon – our molecular essence – without the technology to properly replace it. Perpetual motion can only exist in the outer space, and receiving more energy output over fuel input is atomic technology – noted for any that may suggest otherwise.

My bet is he is on a tyrannical bent. We usually didn’t discover Lex Luthor’s worldly and tyrannical intentions until the last few pages of the comic, and then all that while all his contraptions were exploding and burning out of control thanks to the kind-hearted intervention of a beloved superhero. So, I suppose we’ll see a lot of devastations before our superhero emerges.

PS: I did try to debate with him, but he had no interest in talking to a denier. As soon as I told him that I hoped Cap and Trade would be defeated in the Senate, he gave me a look of shock and horror and started backing up as quickly as he could.

That explains the “TheGreat” part, Mark.

Lefties consider hypocrisy the greatest sin. Obama’s vow of of transparency and non-ideological science are great examples of that.

We all wish this to be true. However, it seems that nothing will stop the dihimiKrats from getting this POS ”energy” catastrophe through the senate, esp. with the Red Diaper Doper baby (frankendofus) now seated to give then 60 votes. And the truly atrocious National Socialists’ Health destruction bill, as well.

Absolute bummer. Prepare for complete destitution if you can.

They’ve done everything but actually use the scientific method to rebut Carlin,

Why would anyone expect the scientific method to even be known to a junta whose leader doesn’t even understand 8th grade mathematics, as he proved to everyone with his moronic “profit and earnings ratios”?

We’re lucky these morons can read … though Congress has been trying to hammer home the futility of trying to exercise ones ability to read, as applied to governing, and the administration has shown that it is unable to read the Honduran Constitution (with any level of comprehension, at least).

Governance by idiots. That’s what we have. And that’s the best that can be said about them.

Congress repeals the laws of thermodynamics!

I’m waiting for John Kerry to pop up and say neither he nor any of the other Dems voted for it in the first place and then blame Bush for getting it passed.

If and or when cap & tax passes, I really want to see first a general strike nationwide to get it repealed, and if that goes nowhere or gets resisted I want to see states start to secede from the union in groups of 5 or 10.

I’d rather see the dissolution and reformation of this country under the constitution than a continued slide toward the destruction we’re headed for now under this marxist fascist.

Sadly it wouldn’t surprise me if they actually did that and it passed.

You and Romeo 13 are forgetting about the FFD. Fairy Dust Factor. Once you put that into the equation efficiency will immediately go to 150% and we will actually get more energy out than we put in. We will be able to run entire cities from one square meter of magic solar panels. Hell, entropy will reverse itself and we won’t have to worry about mortgages, filling up our gas tanks or anything.

Didn’t Nancy Pelosi and Barney Fwanks just submit a bill to Congress to repeal the Law of Conservation of Energy? and amend the Laws of Thermodynamics…

Cause, they are so… like… last Century!
