Almost Immediately after the presidents’ State of the Union address another Green corporation which had feed at the “federal pig trough” with a bailout or as Obama insists….”investment,” declared bankruptcy. 

Speaking of the Presidents’ State of the Union, who anyway is this middle class that the president wholeheartedly supports?  Could it be the same class that has been consistently brought to its knees by Obama’s total misunderstanding that a strong middle class is what enables individuals to become “wealthy.” 4% of the “new poor” in this country are former members of the middle class and a high percentage of those are from the Black middle class which has taken off since the early 70s.  Unfortunately, Obama has put the black middle class back where it was about 30 years ago and has been a one-man wrecking ball for the great American middle class as a whole. 

Critics are afraid to call him a socialist or Marxist even when he, in his autobiography, admitted to subscribing to that theory. Young Barry was a proponent of violent overthrow before fellow Marxists convinced him that the best way in America was through “political” rather than “violent” methods.  Why would he have such a true friend, the violent leftist Bill Ayers, as well as other well-established socialist/Marxists whom he has brought into his administration?  This is a subject that the elite media (notice I didn’t say “mainstream”) were not interested in vetting when he was running in 08.  Most of the public and certainly the press ignored those connections.  Why is everyone so afraid of uttering the words that Barry was so proud of years ago. Furthermore, has anyone heard a “peep” out of our noteworthy “conservative” candidates?

According to the Rev Sharpton, perpetually screaming “racism,” any white person running against the president or who disagrees with him obviously has to be racist. So we cannot disagree any longer without assuming the label of “racist?”   It doesn’t matter that the Republican party and tea party ranks are filled with “talented” Afro-American conservatives like Col Alan West, Herman Cain, Niger Innis (Congress of Racial Equality) and economist/writers such as Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell.

Speaking of that and  of the President’s speech which was so full of praise for the very middle class he is personally destroying, why haven’t any of the candidates stopped attacking one another  long enough to refute any of the obvious lies in the president’s kick-off campaign speech, i.e., the State of the Union address?  They seem so concerned with each other’s shortcomings and misrepresentations that they completely ignore the presidents’ “shot across the bow” which “officially” started his campaign, even though we realize he has been campaigning instead of governing from the beginning. 

The Green lobby has notably been absent in the media regarding the race. As I’ve said before, there is an abundance of Green lobby money for failed green industries in all the Republican candidates’ coffers.  This, despite all Republican candidates and most labor unions championing the Keystone Pipeline.  What Obama fails to see is that his Green jobs initiative is failing because the technology isn’t there yet while ignoring the fact that we have 20,000 out of work oil rig workers (up to 200,000 jobs available from the pipeline) already “trained” and ready to go.  The Eco-nuts in the EPA also fail to see that Keystone would be only one of 75 pipelines already going through the designated area of Nebraska.  Our new technology has been proven “safe” and opens the door for energy independence right now, giving some of the more deserving green options time to perfect their technology and let the market decide when they are viable.   Haven’t we learned from the Alaskan pipeline?  There have been no major problems with that project: caribou populations and other wildlife have flourished because these pipelines are “heated” and provide vegetation beneath for feeding even in the worst winters.  The only problem has been that since they attract wildlife, hunters have been known to accidentally hit a pipeline with a bullet or two, which is quickly patched.

The Greens are also noticeably silent on the only thing Obama predicted to come true was the fall in the ocean levels by ¼ inch in past few years, meaning ice is forming somewhere.  Ice is forming by the way in the Artic north of the Bearing Sea as evidenced by the worst ice formation in years around Nome Alaska.  A rescue party of icebreakers escorting a fuel tanker just rescued the city last week.  This is because the North Pole, due to deep earthquakes, has moved approximately 40 miles closer to Moscow causing us in the Eastern United States as well as Greenland where all the global warming scientists are worrying and measuring melting ice 40 miles further south towards the equator and giving us warming winters.   The failure of GM to unload all of their “volt” battery vehicles is cause for alarm as we invested in GM and “recommended” they to do this in the first place.  Another failure of a green initiative at which the Government has been throwing our scarce tax dollar.  I am a “greenie” of the conservative bend but as a scientist I abhor those who try to foist false science on the rest of the population in an effort to line their pockets with research money and deny other scientists the opportunity to “peer review” their theories.  That is NOT science, nor how it is expected to work as many Nobel scientists have said when they resigned in protest to the religious global warming mob.

This should all be part of our current debate.  I voted this week and despite the fact that I knew that ALL of the candidates had taken green money as campaign “gifts” as evidenced by the fact that when questioned, they ALL responded with the same prepared script (even non-candidate Chris Christie). Paraphrasing what they each said:  “I’m not a scientist, but it seems that there is some truth to the man-made global warming and I think that we must take care of our planet and resources.”  (despite evidence that 7 other planets are warming minus a human population). As a scientist, I know that our knee jerk reactions to protect our resources have proven more disastrous: ethanol more dangerous to atmosphere….Gore and others finally admitted, mercury laden new light bulbs in land-fills causing water pollution and loss of jobs and destruction of economy due to unwise investments in technologies that are not ready for “prime time”.

Quite frankly I needed a nose clip to vote for “any” of the remaining candidates and the Florida ballot had ALL of the original cast of characters tempting many of my friends and neighbors to vote for their prior favorites as a “protest” that we in Florida were denied a decent choice.  I predict that someone sitting on the sidelines will leap in at the last minute and don’t think Hillary and other Democratic power brokers aren’t thinking about a run against Obama.  At least two of the remaining candidates are for “open borders” and all of them except Paul are anti-second amendment.

Although I won’t tell you where my voting “dart” hit, I know for whom I’m NOT voting. That preposterous image of a grinning Newt sharing a couch with Nancy Pelosi discussing man-made global warming……..was just too painful.
