When Al Gore accepted the Nobel Prize, he said that we human beings are the problem.

If that sort of self-loathing Leftist pessimism isn’t the direct descendant of the concepts of original sin and the unredeemed sinner, then it is their retarded nephew. Therefore, what Gore and the Gaiists are practicing is religion. Moreover, it is utterly derivative of Judeo-Christian morality, which must be just awful for these tweed jacketed and besandaled morans to finally recognize: “Wha-? We’re just as trapped by the oppressive orthodoxy of sin and redemption as mere Christianists and Neocons?!”

Just quit tripping and settle down, hippies. Come up with something slightly less insane than to promise a completely carbon-neutral America within ten years. Jesus, Gore! Put down that bong and be serious. 

Why are the greens and libs opposed to high gasoline prices? I thought that breaking our economy on the wheel of petro-slavery was the surest way to post-Amerikkkan heaven and the just death of the combustion engine. When the bottom-feeders start losing their asses to exorbitant fuel costs and food staples, it will make this fourth and final reich ripe for the picking and clear the way for Obamessiah’s socialist paradise. People should be walking and biking more often, anyway.

Or maybe this is the Left’s dream: let Big Oil fatten itself like a Thanksgiving bird and then Obama will just nationalize everything and seize all their assets.

Now that is real time, baby!

This global warming debate today is just so fucking historic!

Note to Dhimms: I don’t listen to you stupid bastards until you finally make the connection between reductions in oil importation and the necessity of legalizing hemp. Are we clear on that? Don’t give me Iowa corn subsidies and Bush the Younger’s bullshit “switchgrass” and all the rest of it until you grow some balls and make the case you know must be made. Period. It’s cowardice because you don’t want to go against the War on Drugs community of courts, attorneys, prisons (public and otherwise), and cops.

P.S. Using food stocks to produce ethanol at a loss is also raising the price of food and hurting working class Americans. Wake up, morans!

I don’t know what’s going on with this American-backed Ethiopian Proxy War story, but it sounds very interesting. Especially since it elicits comments like the following. From the ass of one Salim Lone, as splayed in the op-ed pages of the International Herald Tribune:

NAIROBI: Undeterred by the horrors and setbacks in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon, the Bush administration has opened another battlefront in the Muslim world. With full U.S. backing and military training, at least 15,000 Ethiopian troops have entered Somalia in an illegal war of aggression against the Union of Islamic Courts, which controls almost the entire south of the country.

As with Iraq in 2003, the United States has cast this as a war to curtail terrorism, but its real goal is to obtain a direct foothold in a highly strategic region by establishing a client regime there. The Horn of Africa is newly oil-rich, and lies just miles from Saudi Arabia, overlooking the daily passage of large numbers of oil tankers and warships through the Red Sea. General John Abizaid, the current U.S. military chief of the Iraq war, was in Ethiopia this month, and President Hu Jintao of China visited Kenya, Sudan and Ethiopia earlier this year to pursue oil and trade agreements.

Speaking of wars —”illegal” or otherwise— one must keep in mind while reading anti-American opinions like this one that China is itself funding the Janjaweed militias in the Darfur region of the Sudan. You know: the place where all the pesky locals are being massacred to move them off of China’s oil concessions?

Mr. Lone never gets around to mentioning that. Why? Because Bush lied and people died.

Over at the attractively redesigned National Review Online, Cliff May makes a great point:

A hundred years ago, Americans could use typewriters, the telegraph and primitive telephones. Today, Americans have computers, the Internet, cell phones, satellite television and radio, DVDs, iPods, email and instant messaging.

A hundred years ago, Americans could have personal vehicles powered by internal combustion engines running on gasoline. Today, Americans can have personal vehicles powered by internal combustion engines running on gasoline.

You see the problem?
