Aussie Eco-Fascists Threaten Businesses If They Blame Rising Prices On Carbon Tax

A preview of where Warmists around the world want to move society (while forgetting that they themselves will be subject to the same fascistic laws)

(Telegraph Australia) SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact.

And households are being warned to watch out for telephone scammers offering to deposit carbon tax compensation into their bank accounts.

The prices watchdog, the ACCC, will today launch its countdown to the July 1 carbon tax with a special focus on helping small businesses understand their obligations and consumers to be vigilant for false claims.

It is releasing internet videos to help business, a 16-page guide and has set up a dedicated website www.accc.gov.au/carbon.

And we all know that in The Government’s eyes, no business will be able to “prove” it satisfactorily. Because globull warming legislation is not about “saving Gaia”, it’s not about reducing or even limiting temperature rise, it’s about give federal governments more taxpayer money and more control of people and economies, all in the name of a fake issue. We know it’s fake because the vast majority of people and organizations that push it fail to take an measures in their own lives to get to or be “carbon neutral”. They refuse to give up their fossil fueled lives, even though they say fossil fuels are evil.

Obama Is Apparently Now A Tired Old Nag, Stumbles Out Of Gate

So says The Politico. Of course, in reality, said gate was opened sometime back on January 20th, 2009, the day Obama took office and started campaigning for re-election and worked extra hard to destroy America’s economy, stuck her with massive amounts of debt, attempted to ruin our health care/insurance industry, and has divided American’s more than ever

Nothing inspires Democrats like the Barack Obama swagger — the supreme self-confidence on stage, the self-certainty in private.

So nothing inspires more angst than when that same Obama stumbles, as he has leaving the gate in 2012.

That’s the unmistakable reality for Democrats since Obama officially launched his re-election campaign three weeks ago. Obama, not Mitt Romney, is the one with the muddled message — and the one who often comes across as baldly political. Obama, not Romney, is the one facing blowback from his own party on the central issue of the campaign so far – Romney’s history with Bain Capital. And most remarkably, Obama, not Romney, is the one falling behind in fundraising.

To top it off, Vice President Joe Biden has looked more like a distraction this month than the potent working-class weapon Obama needs him to be.

National polls, which had shown Obama with a slight but steady lead over Romney through April, moved into a virtual tie this month – despite Romney’s clumsy conclusion to the GOP race.

What we’ve gotten from Team Marxist is a constant litany of shiny quarters to distract the American electorate from just how much of a SCOAMF he is. They want to talk about everything but his record since assuming office. We know what those distractions are, and we know what Obama’s record is. America is turning into Europe, with a stagnant economy and high, constant unemployment, while Obama tries to soak the job creators and give “free” stuff to everyone as a way to get re-elected.

Some key Democrats say they have been dismayed watching Obama become a divider not a uniter, trying to incite anger among women, students and older voters. It’s striking how, in private conversations with Obama advisers, they openly talk of chucking the feel-good politics of 2008 for a very conventional form of political warfare this time around. A low-grade friction has emerged among advisers on whether the hack approach is damaging the brand.

That’s just one excerpt from a long article about how things are not looking good. Not mentioned is how this SCOAMF has constantly assaulted individuals, groups, and private entities that have dared speak out against him. He’s not the only Democrat who has done this, but he was elected by to be President of the United States, not President of the Democrat Party. While these assaults do not violate the letter of the 1st Amendment, they surely violate the spirit, which was meant to give people the ability to criticize the government without fear of reprisal.

But, election day is a long way off, so Republicans, Conservatives, moderates, and all those who understand just how bad Obama is for America need to keep the pressure on, and allow Obama to take a permanent vacation back to Chicago.

Stand Against Abusive Felon Brett Kimberlin (sticky for the day)

I told you a bit about Leftist felon and bomber Brett Kimberlin the other day and that Lee Stranahan called for a blogburst today. Today bloggers will stand with Aaron Worthing, Robert Stacy McCain, Patterico, Liberty Chick, Seth Allen, and others who have been terrorized by Kimberlin for exposing him and his links to Democrats. Stranahan also highlights the links between Kimberlin and The Brad Blog. There’s a website dedicated to exposing Kimberlin now

Photobucket

Zilla of the Resistance has an incredibly detailed post on just who this guy is, and what he’s done to people who have exposed him, and writes

What did Stacy do to find himself in the cross-hairs of this violent terrorist thug? The same thing that gets the rest of us targeted by vile leftists who want to silence us: he told the truth: about Kimberlin, his violent criminal history, the leftist operatives that he is connected to, and the plethora of money that The Speedway Bomber has been given by a myriad of well known progressives.

The Lonely Conservative has her blogburst up, along with a ton of links to those participating

Brett Kimberlin, aka The Speedway Bomber,  is not a nice man. He’s on a mission to go after any blogger who dares to speak the truth about him. He doesn’t want anyone writing about his sordid past, or his ties to liberal groups and “charitable” foundations that send his “non-profit” businesses money.

RS McCain makes a good point

This story is about Brett Kimberlin, and involves a Neutral Objective Fact that can be expressed in four simple words: LYING FELON BRETT KIMBERLIN

Michelle Malkin has moved her post to lead position for the day.

Rise up America, stand with the hundreds, perhaps thousands of small bloggers, tens of dozens of larger blogs, the handful of major national blogs and spread the word about this creep. I fear its sound will be as a mouse’s fart against the hurricane but do it anyway, it really is your obligation.

California May Be Going Broke, But They’re Ready For Hotcoldwetdry!

In the issue of priories, worrying about fanciful weather predictions for 50-100 years down the road should be way down at the bottom

(89.3 KPCC) With climate change continuing to create a myriad of new and uncertain weather and water-related issues, no state in America is better at getting ready for our environmental future than California.

Because the weather was always predictable before mankind discovered the combustion engine

As reported by the Hermosa Beach Patch, a recent study by the National Resources Defense Council found that California is one of only nine states (including Alaska and Wisconsin) that has created strategies to deal with the host of predicted situations like water shortages and droughts.

“Because of the significant risks to the state from increasing temperatures, changes in precipitation, sea level rise, and ocean acidification, California has been one of the leading states in the U.S. on climate change action,” states the report, titled “Ready or Not: An Evaluation of State Climate and Water Preparedness Planning.”

Well, good for them! It’s not like California has a $16 billion deficit, and that at least 100 of 482 California cities are on the brink of bankruptcy by the end of 2012 (7th paragraph). That the housing marking is still in the tank. Companies are fleeing for other states. Their health care system is collapsing from pandering to illegal aliens. And that there are those dangerous fault zones. No, hey, let’s worry about the weather a hundred years down the road.

By contrast, as many as 29 states (including Texas and Ohio), have done next to nothing to get ready for potential weather-related climate impacts.

Perhaps that’s because they aren’t run by hysterical idiots.

NASCAR Inks “Green” Deal With EPA

Not to get all conspiracy minded, but did NASCAR voluntarily do this in order to join the “green” craze or did the EPA say something like “join us or we’ll regulate you out of business”?

(Washington Examiner) President Obama’s eco-friendly EPA inked a green partnership deal with high-octane NASCAR Monday to promote recycling and environmentally-friendly products to the sport’s millions of fans.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, NASCAR will encourage fans to buy “sustainable concessions” at races, expand the use of “safer chemical products,” conserve water, reduce waste, promote recycling, push products approved by the EPA that have a small enviro footprint and encourage suppliers to get an “E3 tuneup” aimed at promoting sustainable manufacturing.

Missing: any talk of greening races or race cars that consume about two million gallons of gas a year and average five miles per gallon.

As to some of those initiatives, there is nothing wrong with them. Doing what we can to protect the environment is not wrong. Clean air, water, and land, recycling, safer chemical products, etc are not bad ideas. And with the huge number of really, really, really passionate fans of NASCAR out there, it’s not a bad idea for the EPA to partner with NASCAR. But, then it starts getting climastupid

In a white paper issued last month, NASCAR reports that they will plant 10 trees every time the green flag is raised, which they claim will capture “100 percent of the emissions produced” in races. They also have largest recycling program in sports and last year starting using E15 fuel.

If NASCAR really wants to be Warmists, then I recommend they plant all those trees on the infield, inside the track. Let’s see the proof of the tree planting….what’s that? The trees would interfere with all the people parking there and reduce profit? Hey, come on, NASCAR, globull warming isn’t about profit, it is about saving Gaia. Plant those trees!

Obviously, Obama’s Kentucky And Arkansas Beat Down Was Raaaaacism

Even Leftist Chris Cizzilla is calling BS on the notion

(Washington Post) That President Obama lost roughly 40 percent of the vote in Democratic primaries in Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia over the last two weeks has drawn massive national headlines.

Those headlines have drawn a collective eyeroll from Democrats — and many others who closely follow national politics — who ascribe the underperformance by the incumbent to a very simple thing: racism.

No, none of these Democrats are willing to put their name to that allegation — either generally or for this story. But, it is, without question the prevalent viewpoint they hold privately.

They argue that conservative white Democrats — particularly those in the South and Appalachia — don’t want to vote for an African American for president and, therefore, are willing to cast a ballot for almost anyone else up to and including an incarcerated felon. (Keith Judd, we are looking at you.)

The problem with that theory is that it’s almost entirely unprovable because it relies on assuming knowledge about voter motivations that — without being a mindreader — no one can know.

Raaaaacism always seems to be the answer to why question when it revolves around Obama (or any minority Democrat, much like seeeeexism is the answer when it is a Democrat woman). Democrats never seem to understand that their far left policy positions which continuously push for more federal government control and higher taxes tend to annoy people who do not like being servants of the state. It can’t be that Obama is a SCOAMF who has presided over a recession that he made worse. $5 trillion in new debt. Massive deficits. Rampant unemployment. Historic amounts of people leaving the job market. Poor economic conditions. Rising consumer prices. No, it’s simply because Obama is half black.

Wizbang: Naturally the article brings up the infamous “Bigot Belt” graphic that showed Redneckland to be the only area of the nation that rejected Barack Obama outright in 2008.  Certainly it wasn’t Obama’s elitism, or his anti-Americanism, or his sleazy Chicago cronies, or his youthful infatuation with cocaine and Marxist professors, or his long-time association with a radical domestic terrorist, or his membership in a church led by one of the most inflammatory Black separatist pastors in the country.  Nah, it couldn’t possibly be any of those things that disinterested voters in the South.  It must be because he is half African.  Because that’s all we ever think about down here.

The Lonely Conservative: They even have maps “proving” the theory that white southerners don’t like Obama because he’s black. It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s a radical leftist whose policies have failed. Nope! They’re just a bunch of raaaaacists.

The GOP has called Obama’s primary performance The Big Fail.

Most people couldn’t give a damn about Obama’s “race”: they care about his policies. Which are are 99% failures and are moving America into a horrible position.

Dems Phony War On Women Continues With “Paycheck Fairness” Bill

Apparently, Democrats have forgotten that they passed that “historic” Lilly Ledbetter law, which Obama continuously brings up to pander to women

(Politico) Sick of the fights over contraception and Planned Parenthood? Get ready for a new front in what Democrats call the GOP’s “war on women.”

Five female Democratic senators pressed for legislation Wednesday aimed at closing the wage gap between men and women. The Paycheck Fairness Act would bring up to date the Equal Pay Act, which was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson nearly 50 years ago.

Democrats cited statistics showing that women today are still paid 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, or $10,784 less a year on average. That’s the equivalent of 183 tanks of gas or 92 bags of groceries.

“Women still make less for doing the same job with the same education as men do. The pay gap is as real today as it was 49 years ago,” Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, the longest-serving female in Congress, said at a news conference.

“We’re saying … we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore.”

This is obviously a huge, important issue to Democrats, and has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. They really, really, really, really care. Except, they’ve already mentioned that this is simply an election season shiny distraction. They stated this back at the end of April, and stated that they would soon vote on the bill. Which failed in 2009. And was reintroduced all the way back in April. Of 2011. Why the push now? And why wait till June 4th to start the voting procedure if this is so darned important?

A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll that found Obama’s support among women slipping slightly could have motivated Democrats to take up the Fairpay Act, a senior GOP Senate aide said.

“Either Ledbetter was the biggest bait-and-switch scam in history,” he said, “or Democrats are getting nervous about new polls that show Obama losing ground among women.”

I have no illusions that Romney will beat Obama for the women’s vote, since they tend to vote Democrat in higher numbers than GOP. But, Romney is cutting into Obama’s margins, so this is yet another bit of pandering to women.

Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day – May 25th

I’ve actually been rather remissent in mentioning the issues that good BlogFriend RS McCain, along with with a few others (I hope I can call Patterico at least a BlogAcquaintance)  has been going through regarding Brett Kimberman. I was late to the party, and this is a rather complicated issue, so it is hard to get back into it when working 50 hours a week or more, and having to do posts with a Droid phone. Lee Stranahan has proposed an Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin day for May 25th and breaks it all down

Brett Kimberlin is a convicted bomber, perjurer and left-wing attack dog. He’s attacked — in no particular order — conservative bloggers like Andrew Breibart, Patterico, Liberty Chick, Aaron Worthing, Stacy McCain and others.

This unhinged leftist tool (Kimberlin) has forced McCain and his family into hiding, but, don’t expect RS to stop blogging about it. He doesn’t back down and has more here. Lee has a video about it (which I’m surprised has not been whacked from Youtube by liberals yet)

Michelle Malkin has a big article up about it, and a link to all who have said they will be in. I hope RS and the others will accept my complete backing on this issue. Let’s tell far left terrorists like Kimberlin and his supporters and enablers that we will not stand for this abuse.

Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors. Abraham Lincoln
