The Copenhagen Treaty is fast approaching, I think the only saving grace at this moment is that the Cap & Trade bill isn’t moving, will it stop Obama if he chooses to sign the Treaty when he goes to Copenhagen in Dec? Your guess is as good as mine….I hope to God he doesn’t….

Obi-Won intends to go one up on King Canute when he’s in Copenhagen: he will lead the assembly of global kleptocrats down to the seaside where he will command the seas to cease their rise and they will obey!

If you didn’t have a problem with it then, you shouldn’t have a problem with it now.

If you had a problem with it then, why don’t you have a problem with it now?

Gore isn’t doing anything financially Friends of Bush haven’t been doing for years.

If you didn’t have a problem with it then, you shouldn’t have a problem with it now.

I don’t remember who said it but:

Those who say beware the evil Big Corporation and Big Business and Big Oil should also beware of Big Environment.

Conflict of interest. Either your investments need to go or you need to exit stage left, Mr Gore.

What I find both amazing and depressing is that the leftwingers constantly interpret every conservative figure as being in the grip of “big business” or “corporate interests,” but they don’t have the insight to turn that same lens onto their own. It’s the old saying: follow the money.

I stand bleary-eyed and self-corrected – the company didn’t get the full $3.4 billion, ‘just’ $560 million.

I’ll say it again – Gore’s going to be rich because he gets government to give *our* tax dollars to companies that he’s invested in. Those companies won’t have to *earn* a single dime, but Gore will get billions of *our* tax dollars in his own pocket by first investing in selected green companies (like this one that does software for electrical grids), then getting his buddies in DC to give *billions* in grants (yes, I think it’s like $3.4 billion that this particular company just got in a grant from our government), that will repay Gore’s investment exponentially.

This is criminal, nothing more.
