On Pajamas Media, John Rosenthal writes about how the majority of Germany’s MEPs shot down the SWIFT agreement, which would’ve helped in the war on terrorism, including tracking terror funding…

Green Police?

I am sorry I missed the Super Bowl because I was on my way back from Israel. Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for a great win and the Colts for an otherwise great season.

Now that I am back, I have seen some of the Super Bowl’s commercials and one of them caught my eye.

A car company had a commercial that had an interesting reference to Green Police giving people tickets for their lifestyle choices. For some of us that’s not too far of a stretch for a government growing bigger and bigger by the day under this administration and this Congress.

In fact the Cap and Trade legislation passed by the House (really Cap and Tax) would have some form of a “green cop” in order to monitor companies. It’s a terrible bill and one that would cut into businesses large and small. At a time when we need new jobs, why would we try and penalize the job creators?

Well no one said this Congress was smart…

What we really need is a cop to rein this Congress and administration in. Someone or something to check their power grab and protect the taxpayers of this nation who don’t want their hopes and dreams crippled by a burdensome national debt.

I believe our best chance to stop the madness are the critical November elections.

I am personally committed to criss-crossing this nation campaigning for strong conservative candidates who support lower taxes, balanced budgets, life, marriage and a strong national defense. Huck PAC has already endorsed 23 candidates and I plan to campaign for as many of them as I can.

I cannot wait to get me one of these:
2010 Chevy Camaro, 426 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed manual transmission.

ooooo they rented one of those to me in California last week… I didnt even ask for it and I had no idea what it was when I walked up on it. Unfortunately I couldnt open it up for very long with all the traffic I was in, but I did make *several* dozen 100 yd, acceleration checks Daddy likie…. I havent had a Camaro since I was a kid

And to honor Audi’s commercial, Ive decided to throw away all of those alumimum cans (into the general trash)that Ive been recycling for the past year. I work from home and can go through a 12pk a day, so we’re talking dozens of garbage bags stacked in my garage.

It just seemed too much like the reality we are dealing with in San Francisco…composting in inner city kitchens, no plastic bag option at grocery stores, recycle your batteries at drug stores, haven’t seen styrofoam in years, a push to use mercury light bulbs, traffic jams unless you have enough people to use the carpool lane, etc. etc.

Mayor Gavin Newsom needs to become famous for his oppressive composting law, so we can prevent him from running for higher office!

The point was, you can be green with an Audi diesel full sized car without giving up anything. If “green” means getting 35-50 MPG in a large comfortable, non-hybrid car, isn’t that a good thing?
I guess that’s my point. The meme assumes you either want to be “green”, or perceived as green by the greenies, neither of which interests me. I reject anthropomorphic global warming, and really don’t give a flip what those who embrace it think of me.

My propensity to buy that car would be that it is well engineered, performs and handles well, has nice style and ammenities, and saves me MONEY on fuel, not saving the planet. The pretense that it would make me “look green” is a disincentive to me.

I certainly don’t want to be forced to “go green”, especially not in ridiculous ways, as the ad pointed out…but, I love the option of buying common sense products that conserve, function well, save natural resources and save me money…it just makes sense to me.

There is much more to being green than just “climate change.”

To borrow a quote from a certain president, “let me make myself perfectly clear.” I don’t want inflexible religious extremists in my government. I don’t want them making policy or enacting laws, and if I see them on my TV, I prefer to change the channe…

I buy my bulbs at Home Depot (haven’t seen Biden there yet) and Lowe’s.

Hoard Incandescents, especially PAR lamps. They could be the underground currency after Obummer blows the economy straight to Gre’thor.
