October 27 Morning Coffee

Something I don't see enough of... what this election is really about...is preserving  what makes America strong...Capitalism. Unrestrained debt growth will destroy any country, and America is not immune. It leads to the only place it can go...confiscatory taxation of wealth. That wealth is invested and drives growth, businesses, jobs. Hillary knows that just like Obama knows it. All the fat cat Democrats know it. They don't care because by the time the economy tips, and investors run away, and the stock market crashes for the long haul...they'll have what they want and they will be gone from the scene. They simply are out for themselves and they DO NOT HAVE AMERICA'S LONG TERM HEALTH AT HEART.  This is unimaginable. It is outrageous! But it is true. If you load a horse with more and more people to carry...until the horse's back breaks...it is perfectly clear that you do not have the best interests of the horse at heart. Wouldn't you agree with that? Half the country is on food stamps/SNAP. Some 70 million workers do not pay any income taxes. Our open border allows illegal immigrants to flood into our country needing food and housing and medical care that they cannot afford, yet Obama and the Democrats do nothing about it. More proof that they simply do not consider America's long term heath important.
Have you ever really watched Hillary give a speech?
Her voice would work well for an evangelist. It's that style. So was Hitler's. Mussolini probably sounded the same way. That kind of voice gets people fired up so they will follow you right into a world war...or over any proverbial cliff. To be so smart, people can be really dumb...and manageable, malleable, easy to manipulate...and she thinks she knows how to do it. That's her real strength, but it is a weak one. She promises free stuff...typical Democrat style "Let's sell America's future down the road" for the vote. For those of us who are truly listening for substance and character, and wisdom, she does not have them and it shows. She is a shallow pool and it is obvious that SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE LONG TERM HEALTH AND STRENGTH OF AMERICA AT HEART.
But she will have followers, because people are dumb that way.

We must get the conservative vote out in 2016. And we have to be careful about who we nominate. Will calm, thinking people vote for Trump? I have my doubts. Carson has exactly what American needs right now. Calm, confident, logical, truthful, reasonable. Debates aren't really debates. Just because she is her own freak show doesn't mean he has to go to her level. With preparation he will cut her to pieces.

Conservative Americans Can Control This Mess

   I am not a scientist, but there are reasonable conclusions that I can make about human induced climate change that are impossible to dismiss.
   For something like 160,000 years the earth has been habitable by humans. Our climate has been relatively stable. Most certainly for the last 2000 years no one can deny that humans have been able to live on the surface of the planet without mass migrations and huge die offs. The sun has been baking all of this time. Heat has been rising from within the Earth to the surface. We are still here. Sure, there have been changes. The planet will never be completely static, unchanging. But can't we agree that Earth has been doing a pretty good balancing act on it's own? We all haven't been smothered with heat or frozen to extinction. That evidence is clear.
   The balancing act, in simple terms, is that when Earth gets too hot, it cools itself off. And when it gets too cold, it warms itself up. Simple, yes. But that is the point.
   Through Science, through population expansion, through waste management and clean water acquisition and all of the necessary logistics, we have managed to support humanity. If it weren't for the failures of politics, the failures of governments to anticipate population growth and build support...failure to free themselves from the vagaries of destructive, ingrained cultural issues, we could be feeding and supporting decent living standards for all of humanity much better than we do. Our achievements have come due to science. Science is objective...it does not involve God or religion. Science, with God's help, if you wish, is what has made our progress so impressive and successful... a human tool.
   What makes Science so powerful is the scientific method. Scientific method manages to find at least some of the truth in things. Usable truth. Without the scientific method we might still be trying to turn lead into gold. We humans would have our feet planted somewhere in the long ago, difficult past.
    The way I see it, the IPCC and the United Nations appear to have adopted something other than the scientific method to draw conclusions about climate change that are incredible...meaning without credibility.  They have not proven that humans induce significant climate change. They have produced models that have no real meaning and tons of rhetoric. Alarmists like Al Gore have made wild and fanciful predictions which have failed to materialize yet terrorized hundreds of millions of us into becoming politically active with bad information. Our media is parroting this mess every day and in every way nonstop.
   I wonder if the reasons boil down to ignorance and egotism for the social media crowd. I think that goes without saying.
   Money is a big reason. Green energy grants and loans mean hundreds of millions of dollars of US taxpayer money are flowing into the pockets of people who we will never know or hear about.  (Solyndra. Take a minute and review this major beneficiary of your stolen tax dollars.)
   The G77  are 77 countries that comprise the relatively undeveloped world. They have failed to build their nations as their populations have increased while we in the US have built. They find themselves behind in crucial, basic support like clean water, waste disposal and virtually everything else. Their business environment is not what our's is. Their religious influence within the governments are suffocating. Remember, with separation of church and state, we don't have that problem. Without the ability for individuals to create production and service organizations...in our country we call them businesses...we are Capitalistic...far more individuals in those countries are left to barter and hustle for basic things that allow them to subsist day to day. Those countries find themselves way behind with no way to catch up. In Climate Change they see a way for them to demand money from developed countries for the weather damages derived from our acknowledged damage to the environment.  We can thank the United Nations for this.
   We Americans really do not have the money to do for these countries what they should have been doing for themselves all along. We cannot finance nuclear power plants and wind farms in these poor countries. We are borrowing money just to keep our heads above water as it is.
   For this question of human induced climate change I expect the world will soon take a step back and look at the whole of it and slow our reaction to something that more reasonably addresses the issue. Over reaction will be the legacy of many of our political leaders. Their motives are numerous and predictable.
   Somehow our scientific community must figure out how to develop a consensus based on solid, evidence. The question and ramifications are far too significant to allow it to be driven by the United Nations/G77 and the greedy Al Gores of the world.
   Meanwhile, low information social media publishers and television media will terrorize us with "in your face" claims that weather events around the world are the result of human induced climate change without one iota of evidence...and money hungry politicians and business people, who can only count the dollars to be made, praise and finance this circus. Earth has bigger fish to fry.
  We sober, thinking individual Americans need to make our voices heard in 2016. We are the only sane bunch in Earth's crowd. We have been for a very long time. I am sure about me. What about you?
