Remembering the environmental doomsayers

Environmentalists’ Wild Predictions
By Walter E. Williams

Now that another Earth Day has come and gone, let’s look at some environmentalist predictions that they would prefer we forget.
At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.” C.C. Wallen of the World Meteorological Organization said, “The cooling since 1940 has been large enough and consistent enough that it will not soon be reversed.” In 1968, Professor Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore’s hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and “in the 1970s … hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death.” Ehrlich forecasted that 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich’s predictions about England were gloomier: “If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”

Ron Paul - Big Government Responsible for Housing Bubble

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk Column
May 12, 2008

The House passed two bills attempting to rehabilitate the housing and mortgage market this week. There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of criticism and blame for the bad decisions, and rightly so. Lenders and banks do share much of the blame for the overheated market. Lending standards were relaxed, or even abandoned altogether, creating an exaggerated pool of homebuyers that led to ballooning home prices that many, especially real estate investors, expected to continue forever. Now that the bubble has burst, the losses are staggering.

However, many in Washington fail to realize it was government intervention that brought on the current economic malaise in the first place. The Federal Reserve’s artificially low interest rates created the loose, easy credit that ignited a voracious appetite in the banks for borrowers. People made these lending and buying decisions based on market conditions that were wildly manipulated by government. But part of sound financial management should be recognizing untenable or falsified economic conditions and adjusting risk accordingly. Many banks failed to do that and are now looking to taxpayers to pick up the pieces. This is wrong-headed and unfair, but Congress is attempting to do it anyway.

Following the “Revolutionist” from Croatia

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 


ADVOCATOR OF INDIVIDUALITY

“Even though Ron Paul can not become president, he might manage to change at least a part of the American people, and bring back self confidence to those that have been lost in the majority, followed individuals, and forgotten their personality.”

Revolutionist Ron Paul Continues Campaign

Paul advocated individuality, and irritated many with his liberalism and ignorance of controlling the world, which the US is carrying out.

Whilst the democrats are fighting for a presidential nomination, the republican Ron Paul, who has exited the presidential race, is continuing his campaign.

READ ON

“As any libertarian, Paul wants to guarantee individual freedom for people. Meaning, he wants to neglect wars and world control, conducted by the USA, he wants to leave NATO, legalise marijuana and honour democracy and the Constitution above all – without violating anyone`s individual freedom. Revoking the ministries, Paul wants to cut back on expenses and force Congress to do its task and serve the people. What his party members find worst is that he strongly opposes war in Iraq.

It is hard to succeed in today`s America with ideas like these. As a Republican who strongly advocates family values, he is not a favourite among the Democrats, or the Republicans. His vision of America is above the Republican-Democratic relations, but those whom he wises to lead are not on his level.”

Ron Paul – Man Who Would Change America
State power-wielders mind the fact he would revoke most ministries in the USA, leave NATO, end war in Iraq and legalise marijuana.

READ ON

Aside from the shaky english, not half bad articles.
They use the word “liberal” to describe Ron Paul, but in their part of the world “liberal” still has its original definition, something that was turned into the opposite meaning in the USA—back in time when the socialists stole the word.

Ripp’in on AmeriCorps

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 

Jim Bovard, author of his latest and greatest book Attention Deficit Democracy rips AmeriCorps a new one.

The National Service Illusion
JAMES BOVARD

National Service is one of the hottest causes of presidential candidates. Both Barack Obama and John McCain are gung-ho for expanding Americorps to hire a quarter million people to perform federally-orchestrated good deeds. Former presidential candidate Senator Chris Dodd wanted to make community service mandatory for high school students and boost AmeriCorps to a million members. John Edwards also favored making national service mandatory.

But does America have a shortage of government workers?

AmeriCorps is the epitome of contemporary federal good intentions. AmeriCorps, which currently has roughly 75,000 paid recruits, has been very popular in Washington in part because it puts a smiley face on Uncle Sam at a time when many government policies are deeply unpopular.

Ron Paul - Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment 

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk Column
May 5, 2008

In the past few months, American workers, consumers, and businesses have experienced a sudden and dramatic rise in gasoline prices. In some parts of the country, gasoline costs as much as $4 per gallon. Some politicians claim that the way to reduce gas prices is by expanding the government’s power to regulate prices and control the supply of gasoline. For example, the House of Representatives has even passed legislation subjecting gas stations owners to criminal penalties if they charge more than a federal bureaucrat deems appropriate. Proponents of these measures must have forgotten the 1970s, when government controls on the oil industry resulted in gas lines and shortages. It was only after President Reagan lifted federal price controls that the gas lines disappeared.

Wind Bags on the Gas Tax

Filed Under Economics, National | 1 Comment 

Obama blames fuel efficiency standards for the high price of gasoline - What a dummy!

McCain wants a gas tax holiday - How about permanent holiday Johnny boy. All you gotta do is eliminate some of those useless government agencies and programs to pay for it. But then again you were never very committed to small government anyway, just temporarily while there’s an election going on.

Hillary wants a gas tax holiday too but then she wants a “windfall tax” on oil companies to pay for a gas tax holiday. In other words she wants a temporary tax holiday (only because she wants to look like she cares about the little people during this election season) but wants to tax us all more and permanently by taxing the oil companies first. I guess her followers don’t know that any increase in the cost of doing business always ends up being passed on to the consumer. A company has to be able to compete and make profits in the market for its owners, that would be the stockholders. Hillary is just another bull shit artist admired by economic dummies.

Ron Paul on Politicizing Pain

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk Column
April 28, 2008

K.K. Forss does not claim medical marijuana solves all his problems. His pain from a ruptured disc in his neck is debilitating. He is unable to go to work or to the First Baptist Church he used to attend because of the pain and muscle spasms. Taxpayers through Medicare spend over $18,000 a year on his various medications. Half of those drugs are strong narcotics. The other half address the various side-effects brought on by the first half, such as nausea, heartburn, heart palpitations, difficulty sleeping, and muscle spasms.

No, marijuana would not completely address all his pain, but it made a tremendous difference in the quality of his life when he tried it for over a year. It helped him regain 38 pounds he had lost. It calmed his muscle spasms and helped him sleep. In short, it alleviated many side effects and greatly reduced his need for other expensive medications. Mr. Forss estimates that being allowed to use medical marijuana would save taxpayers at least $12,000 a year in medications he would no longer need. He would also be able to work occasionally and attend some church services.
