Another Earth Day Is Upon Us

The early spring always brings a two punch of the giggles to us conservatives.  First, we have tax day, as a cruel reminder of the governments constant confiscation of the fruits of our labor to pay for their endless and always growing spending habit.  One week later, we get Earth Day, which is the culmination of a years worth of Halloween type scare tactics to convince us to abandon all reason and a growing percentage of our valuable economic freedom to the Socialist Agenda.   I am sure that the spectacle of this year’s hysteria will be no different.  There will be many people who fly around the world to meet in air conditioned resorts and determine how the rest of us should be content to live in 7th century comfort.  Behold, the ghost of Earth Day Past.

It should be noted that MIT conducted a study recently where they concluded that a homeless person living on the streets of Boston exceeded the CO2 emissions level suggested by the U.N. climate change gurus, by a factor of 400%. The Obama Administration has effectively laid off the entire U.S. Oil Industry and promised to bankrupt both the Coal Producers and the Electric Utility Companies as part of his array of campaign promises. He is attempting to make conventional sources of energy much more expensive than they should be, and at the same time is subsidizing the green jobs myth with money borrowed from China. All of this is designed to force us to make the decision to buy into the solar and wind farce. How is it working for you? I paid $62 to fill my tank this morning. That increased cost will be passed on to every other sector of our economy.

What worries me most about the whole climate change debate, is how about half or our population could by into the theory that our very act of breathing could be considered air pollution. It takes a logical acrobatic exhibition that staggers the imagination to be able to agree with this preposterous theory. Even after the scandal broke of the emails being sent around between all of the climate scientist detailing how they were going to continue lying to us common folk in order to keep their gravy train rolling in the cash, it is still being reported as fact by our main stream media. Al Gore’s claim that the debate is now over doesn’t strike anyone as suspicious? Why would he buy beach front property in the middle of a soon to be submerged coast line if he believed his own propaganda?

Just to show you Earth Day Celebrators what company it is that you keep, get a load of this.

When did agreeing with stupidity become cool. My favorite part of the video above is the woman who claimed to be familiar with dyhydrogen monoxide, and continued to sign the petition to ban the evil water from our planet. All kidding aside, destroying our economic viability for a non existent problem is no laughing matter. Real Americans are suffering real hardships as a result of this lunacy. November of 2012 is coming, and not a moment too soon. We need to put a stop to the ecofascism which is making us all worse off. This year, celebrate earth day by fighting against ecofascism.

North Korea Observes Earth Hour

To be truthful, this is cheating a bit, as this satellite photo was not taken on 26 March. North Korea’s been observing Earth Hour for decades, every hour of every night of every day of every year, and they’re doing their part to preserve the environment and stave off Global Warming.

Just look at their selfish greedy capitalist neighbors to the south. Pathetic. If only everyone would follow in the AGW-enlightened footsteps of the land of, um, ah, [where’s my thesaurus?] well, you get the drift.

Speaking of drifts, the eastern U.S.  is set up for a spring snowstorm courtesy of the Global Cooling efforts of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, so let’s turn on all the lights in the Rec Room, crank the stereo and heat up some stuff on the electric range while we enjoy the power of freedom here on The Overnight Open Thread.

My First Earth Day

I remember my first Earth Day at Junior High. They really went all out, and shut the normal teaching down for the day. They cancelled all classes. The morning was spent in assemblies. Three hours of nothing but assemblies on what “pollution” was, and how bad we humans were, and last but not least, how we could be part of the solution instead of part of the problem™.

I was paying more attention to the other students than to the propaganda. I watched as normally bad boys were transformed into glassy-eyed zombies. At lunch, they were all jabbering about how bad the pollution was, and yadda.

In the afternoon, they pushed a little harder, and told all the students that they were going to show their devotion to the cause by going out into the school yard, and spending the afternoon picking up litter. Yippee!!!

I went out with everyone else, and did it for about ten minutes. Then I stood up and looked all around me. Snotty girls. Bad boys. People you’d never dream of doing this kind of thing on their own just mindlessly doing what they’ve been told. It hit me like a ton of bricks. We’ve all been had!!!

Realizing this, I made my way to the edge of the property, and when no one was looking (even with 500 kids and a couple dozen teachers present, they were so bent over picking up somebody else’s schmutz that there were long periods when nobody could see me) I crossed the street, and ducked behind a house.

I walked home, and got there maybe 1:30. When I walked in, my mom (a good salt-of-the-earth Goldwater Republican) asked my why I was home so early. I told her the the whole story. She rolled her eyes.

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s something pernicious in a totalitarian way about the entire environmental movement, and it’s been that way for a long time. Maybe this true anecdote can help illustrate why they can’t be trusted.

So anyone have stories of your own to share?

As an aside, everyone should be aware that Earth Day is Lenin’s Birthday.

Happy Earth Night

Yes, DOOMED, and there ain’t a goddam thing you can do about it.

Every single one of us is the earth’s bitch, and not the other way around, no matter how powerful Al Gore says 21st Century Schizoid Man is.

But don’t worry, the earth won’t be destroyed for another 4-5 billion years, give or take a few months, and even then it’ll be hanging around until something big enough to knock it out of orbit comes cranking through the moronosphere at a vermillion klicks an hour.

So meanwhile, let’s all relax, exhale big breaths of rainforest-enriching CO2, and enjoy an Overnight Open Thread, bitches.
