Here we go again. You still with me? Thought so. Anyway, I think I will put up some comments on the most mis-reported and mis-stated subject in the world today. What's
that Eye? What's that? The Iraq War? No. Global Warming. It's the biggest joke around.
...and the Leader of that insidious
movement...
All of you remember this guy? He was within 550 votes of becoming the leader of the free world (shudder). He is out there touting his lie and his movie, which are one and the same.
Report: Gore to Attend Live Earth in NJ;

Like I said, 542 people made a difference. Well 543, Elian Gonzales was shipped back to Cuba and 6 year olds can't vote. But believe me, he was the difference.
Al Gore will rock out at the
Live Earth concert
at Giants Stadium on July 7, one of eight
worldwide shows designed to draw attention to
global warming.
That comment alone should put you on the floor in hysterical laughter. Ever see Algore on TV or in person? I wouldn't say he rocks, I'd say he is a rock. Totally lifeless.
"Mr. Gore will be in New Jersey. He'll be
off
and on (the stage), very involved," said Live
Earth Founder and Executive Producer Kevin
Wall. Wall, who produced the Live 8 concerts
in 2005 designed to combat poverty, also told
The Star-Ledger of Newark that he would be
attending the London show.
Gotta hand it to this Wall guy. He organized those concerts to combat poverty. Problem is though, poverty still exists.
A concert slated for Istanbul, Turkey, had
to
be scrubbed because of a lack of sponsors
and interest. A large screen will be set up for
viewing the concerts in other cities,
Cengizhan Yeldan of Purple Concerts, the
company that was organizing the Istanbul
show, said Tuesday.
Guess the Turks have the right idea, cancelled due to lack of interest.
"An Inconvenient Truth," which chronicles
Gore's campaign to educate people on the
dangers of global warming, won an Oscar for
best documentary earlier this year.
Think this bogus documentary was mis-named. Should be called Inconvenient Facts. There is little to no truth in it. Good thing they are holding it in July. The weather might be actually hot enough to try and make the case. They couldn't do it this spring because of the cold and snowy weather. At least not in Colorado. Check out the warmest winters in the last 100 years. Of the last 30 years, only 2 winters placed in the top 10 warmest, 1981 and 1977 (link). Actually the Northeast, Midwest and the South also had extreme low temps this spring. Correct me now if I'm wrong, but when those 2 winters made the list, that's when they were talking about the impending ice age. See what I mean by inconvenient facts? They get in the way of truth.
Really smokeless tobacco
Our liberal friends dislike smoking as much as environmental distruction. Problem is, the inconvenient facts get in the way.
Study Links Candy Cigarettes to Smoking;

I truly hope that these liberal groups don't get tax money for these idiotic studies, but I fear I am wrong. The taxpayers pay for all these studies.
Candy cigarettes predispose children who play
with them to smoke the real things later, new
research concludes.
I love these conclusions. They are so well thought out. Well thought out for the social agenda they're pushing. (And these are the same minds that give out condoms to high school students.)
The look-alikes made of candy or gum are
marketing and advertising tools that
desensitize kids and open them moreso to the
idea of smoking later on, says study leader
Jonathan Klein of the University of Rochester.
Candy cigarettes cannot be considered simply
as candy, Klein said.
Are you with me on this one? Candy cigarettes are evil. Shall we ban them?
The study is the first to show a statistical
link
between a history with fake cigarettes and
adult experiences with real smokes -22
percent of current or former smokers had
also regularly consumed candy cigarettes,
while only 14 percent of those who have
never smoked had eaten or played with candy
cigarettes often or very often.
Trust me, you can make numbers agree with any premise.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable
cause
of disease and death in the United States,
according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. The majority of smokers start
before age 18, according to the Department
of Health and Human Services and other
sources. The survey by Klein and colleagues
showed that candy cigarette use is more
common among females.
I started before I was 18 and to my detriment, I also had the occasional candy cigarette. It took me 35 years to quit the real things, but 1 day to give up the hard core candy ones.
Candy cigarettes reportedly have been
restricted or banned in Canada, the United
Kingdom, Finland, Norway, Kuwait and Saudi
Arabia, among other countries. Legislative
bans also have been proposed in several U.S.
states and in New York City over the years,
but all these failed except in North Dakota
where a ban stood from 1953 until it was
repealed in 1967.
That pretty much says it all. Look where all the restrictions are at. You can't get too much more socialistic than in the UK, Finland, Norway and Canada. For that matter throw in NYC in that group while you are at it.
In the United States, candy cigarettes are
typically sold next to bubble gum and trading
cards, but some retailers refuse to sell them.
For instance, Wal-Mart bans the sale of
tobacco and tobacco look-alike products to
minors in its stores nationwide.
Wanna know the real problem with these evil candy cigarettes? Ask any dentist, he'll tell you what the real problem is. What should we
do Eye, you know-it-all? What should we do?
Ban them? No, don't do that. Use the normal liberal/socialist tactic. Tax them. Those 10 year olds are simply not paying their fair share.
