I decided to find out how I can profit from the wonderful cap and trade (save our precious planet, this is not a tax…hey what’s that behind you) bill. I was hoping I could invest or purchase shares in the same companies that Al Gore is vested in.

So I poked around and searched ‘Al Gore’ in Scottrade and found the following press release. The link at the end leads to a site with what I found to be absolutely disturbing. In the press release they state ‘educating the American people through scientific facts’ however on their home page they state ‘The Alliance for Climate Protection is undertaking an unprecedented mass persuasion exercise based on scientific facts.’.

They also have links on the right side of their homepage to partners in their ‘Alliance’, one of which is titled ‘This is Reality’ which leads to thisisreality.org where you can further your education/persuasion excercise and learn such things as ‘There is no such thing as clean coal energy’.

So. Are you ready for your re-education? If not perhaps there will be an earmark in the legislation for camps to be set up to help persuade you.

Obama said in his press conference tonight that he has no interest in running the banks and how he finds it laughable when he hears his critics say that he wants to grow government, yet when some banks pleaded to give the money back to him he refused.

For a guy that has no interest in owning banks those actions speak louder than his words this evening.

Wasn’t tonight’s press conference supposed to be about the Swine…er I mean U-571 or whatever he is calling it to avoid offending swine.

Another telling moment was when the POTUS fielded the soon to be infamous ‘Enchanted’ question from the NY Times report.  He improvised a response which has come to be his Achilles heal and tonight was no different.  He commented on how he was surprised that the legislative branch hasn’t fallen into line and that banks don’t just do what he tells them.  Mr. President, these are the expectations of a dictator.  The whole point of having branches of the government is to combat this exact idea and the point of a free market is that the government doesn’t get to tell entrepreneurs and capitalists what to do.  These ideas are what makes America great! Not a socialist president bending others to his will. I haven’t heard anyone in the media comment on this peculiar aspect of his response but I personally think that this is much more revealing of Obama’s true nature than any of his other canned or teleprompted responses and ramblings.

I only recently discovered Redstate.com and began to feel that it may be the perfect platform to share a story that I have been reluctant to post on the internet until now.

Those of us from Chicago have a special appreciation for the Chicago Political machine and what it takes to make it in politics here in the windy city.  Because of this we also have a deeper understanding of our most famous recent product, the POTUS.

As with many tales, this one starts with a flashback. When I was in college, like many college kids I had a view of the world that was shaped by the 18 some odd years of public education that I had received.  I was interested in righting the perceived wrongs and social injustices that I heard so many of my professors discuss in their lectures. Even in math courses the professors always managed to somehow get a shot or two of their political propaganda into the lecture.  When you are as I was it makes it easy to get drawn into believing that ‘All of these adults can’t be lying. If it were just one nutty professor perhaps but surely there isn’t some grand conspiracy, surely there must be truth in what these grown-ups are saying’.  After all, if your experience growing up was like mine and you were taught to respect grown-ups and respect your elders than you are much less likely to suspect such treachery.

I attended a meeting that was supposed to be a presentation about Police Brutality that was hosted at my college one night.  We signed a list upon arriving and were told the info would be used to notify us of future presentations at the school.  We ended up going for drinks with one of the presenters afterward and it turned out the event was really being hosted by what he called the “International Socialist Organization”. I got spooked when he told us that ‘there will be blood in the streets’ and I have always remembered this as  This man was a Hispanic professor from University of Chicago. Which is where of course our President was working along with the likes of Bill Ayers etc.  So if there are any reasonable Democrats left out there I really do hope you can put aside your feelings to be intellectually honest with yourselves about who you’ve put in office. If you think that there is some grand conspiracy to paint Obama as a socialist you really should start by looking at the much clearer evidence along with his actions.  It’s not about Bill Ayers and what he did 30 years ago. It’s about Obama and the polluted political environment here in Chicago. Is there anyone that currently attends U of Chi that is willing to share their own observations?

I don’t mean to paint with a broad brush here and I know that all professors were/are not socialists but I always find it hard to understand why people so roundly refuse to consider that you don’t spend your professional life working alongside or for such folks without either sharing their views or pretending to share them. In my opinion there is little distinction to be made whether you actually share or pretend to share such views. It is very much like the idea that you can attend a church for years yet you don’t hold the same beliefs as the preacher that preaches each week.
