Once again, which should really surprise no one, liberalism is wrong. I will
present 3 distinct situations where the facts bely the liberal talking points of late.
As
we have recently heard in media, the Earth seems to be experiencing
some sort of completely unexpected and unexplainable cooling. How can
that be? All I have heard since Republicans have held the White House
since 2001 is that the Earth has a fever, or so says brain trust
Algore. But Algore is not alone in his dumbfoundedness - no, he has
millions of Liberals on his bandwagon.
Here is the truth,
despite what the brilliant ones maintain: The warmest year on record
for our planet was 1998. The previous hottest year of the Twentieth
Century was 1934. Seems since '98 the Earth has been cooling. And now
we hear the Earth is in for a 10 or 15 year cooling; of course the
global warming
will begin again at the end of that time, so they claim. Say what, you
ask? Yep friends, they were either wrong or untruthful - you pick
whichever one suits ya.
The second glaring recent example of
Liberal "mouth in gear while brain is in park" is the quandary of the
National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), the Iranian nuclear intentions
and the recent UN nuclear watchdog team, the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA).
Remember this one? Last year the US NIE said
Iran
had stopped atomic enrichment. The Libs went apoplectic claiming Bush
was tweaking the intel to fear monger and gin up support for him to
bomb Iran. Then last month or so the IAEA, the UN agency, the darling
of the Left and every petty dictator and despot on this rock said, "Yo,
yo,
Iran
is lying - they ARE enriching atomic fuels for bombs!" So, after the
leftmost ran Bush into the ground out comes the UN to say
Iran is doing exactly what Bush claimed. Are we hearing any apologies from the wrong yet? Fat chance that!
And then there is my all time favorite - the Evil Oil Companies (EOC). You know the talking points: big
oil is making record profits; big
oil is price fixing; big
oil is ripping off the little guy, blah, blah, blah.
Here are the realities: In this months
Limbaugh Letter, according to University of
Michigan economics professor Dr. Mark J. Perry we discover the following: For every $1 dollar of profit, the
oil companies paid $3 dollars in taxes; the total tax rate on
oil is about 40% while the average income tax on other corporations is 35%; 15% of the
cost of
gas at the pump goes to taxes while 4% is
oil company profit; and saving the best for last, "According to Ernst & Young, from 1992 to 2006 the US
oil
industry earned profits of $900 billion - but spent $1.25 trillion on
long-term investment (exploration, development, etc)." For the
mathematically challenged, or Liberals, that means US
oil companies invested about 1/3 more in research & development than they made in profits.
So,
if we can't trust these brilliant ones to get it right about these 3
issues about which the Left has made so much noise and hot air, how can
we trust them with the fate of our nation? If they can't get it right
about these 3 issues how can we accept their assurance that Liberal
ideas are the answer for our nation? All one must do to determine who
is right, me or the brilliant ones, just cast an eastward glance at
Europe. They have been Socialist for decades and guess what? They pale
in comparison to US economic growth, stability, income and
productivity. And if one has paid any attention at all guess what else
Europe is doing?
They are going Conservative! Yep! Seems those
who actually live Socialism and Liberalism have begun to see the err of
their ways and are
running
back to the Right! And in so doing they are building power plants
(shame, shame) and doing all manner of evil things that their
populations are in desperate need of. Apparently Europe has begun to
come to their senses. Apparently they have realized that wishing, or in
our case Hope & Change, ain't gonna cut it. They have realized that
Liberalism speaks to a lofty goal that is largely unattainable, and
that Conservatism at least deals with what is and what is possible, as
opposed to the wishing and hoping crowd (that's the Hope & Change
crowd for you Leftys).
I could go on for days, but what would be the point? If you don't get it yet, you are likely never to get it.
So, there you have it. And these are just the three easiest and most glaring examples of Liberalism: Wrong! Again!
