Poverty to Deepen in United States

After totally mismanaging the BP oil spill, President Obama is set to address his latest and perhaps final assault on the economy of the United States. At this writing more than 40 million citizens( and non-citizens) receive EBT also known as Electronic Benefits Transfer. This payment was formerly known as food stamps. EBT takes some of the stigma of welfare and in transaction resembles a credit or debit card.

Tonight in his address to the nation, overblown description, the president will make the case for cap and trade. This policy started in Europe during the 1970's and has been an abject failure. It has reduced the output of trade and has increased the cost to consumers to heat, light, and cook. The United States cannot afford cap and trade; it is simply a mechanism to make certain people extremely wealthy. Included in this group will be Barack Obama, Al Gore, et al. The vast majority of citizens will be hard put to heat , air condition, get to work etc. The pure selfishness of the administration and its allies is breathtaking.

No doubt there are some true believers in the so-called environmental movement, it is difficult to believe that most of them understand what they are saying. Wind power is simply not feasible on land. To replace 20% of  current US consumption will require approximately 185,000 turbine windmills. Where will they be located? They will require maintenance, will destroy flocks of birds, and will adversely effect human beings living nearby; each turbine generates noise that will certainly meet the definition of pollution.

What about solar? This method will be great during periods of global warming, but not so great once global cooling sets in during the next 30 or so years. The disgusting dishonesty of so-called scientists is amazing, yet Joe Blow gapes in wonder at their brilliance and believes they are truthful. The media watch dogs are asleep. They are in league with the devils who intend to loot the populace.

Jobs will be destroyed not created. Without private enterprise based on capitalism there is no wealth for a government to exploit. In the near future the government will have completely bankrupted the nation. As this happens fewer and fewer people will have gainful employment. Riots will be the least of the problems confront society. The more likely outcome will be some version of The Road Warrior, a scenario already beginning to play out in Mexico. It is likely that only Canada will survive economically in the Western Hemisphere.

The US government will be forced to confiscate and allocate food to those in their thrall. It will be at least a hundred years before things begin to right themselves. Already liberal progressives like Alan Grayson are calling for the forced imprisonment of anyone not agreeing with him and his colleagues. This is the fallacy of progressivism:  it always degenerates in to totaliatarism.

Liberals Hate the Real USA

It is now beyond question that the liberals and the current government hate the United States of America. Any speech, thought , or other disagreements with them are said to be hate speech, hate thought, etc. Of course their speech is full of love for their fellow citizens and their country. Why would this be this case and how did  it happen? Recently a coalition of liberal groups petitioned the FCC to fiercely crack down on hate speech encountered on the radio and on cable tv network news channels. I'm pretty sure they didn't mean CNBC or MSNBC.. These people don't want anyone contradicting them while being free themselves to engage in truly outrageous behavior. Liberals feel free to violently demonstrate while conservatives almost, if ever, do the same thing. These people have been taught to hate their country by the teachers of the United States. Actually there are only a few teachers most of them are political commissars indoctrinating children to hate their country.

The so-called Latino reconquesta if it succeeds will be a failure of the greatest magnitude. They will create and inherit a fragmented country which will be closer to the place they came from than the place they wanted to live. Without "hate" speech there will be no free speech. Under the laws of the USA a person can feel safe saying anything they want to say at anytime. The FCC is a false arbiter and should be eliminated.

I spent my first 50 years of life as a Democrat. Things have changed, the Democrat Party is now the party of foreign interests representing communism at worst and uninhibited socialism at best. Say what you will about my ideas, deny them, they are still correct and not hateful.

Tony Hayward Must Go

BP's disgusting safety record is rooted in managerial incompetence. Prior to Hayward's ascendancy numerous accidents in a variety of facilities proved that BP was watching their share price more closely than their work product. That work product should provide the basis for the share price. I suspect that quarterly and annual bonus payments are tied to interim results and that either cost reduction or money not spent goes a long way towards such payments. BP has a history of delaying maintenance and other safety compliance rules to save money. Such deferrals may work a few times but a some point the maintenance must be done and the rules observed.


Mr. Hayward's latest remarks about wanting his life back are despicable, childish, arrogant, and evidence that he still doesn't get it. There were warning signs ignored prior to this latest accident. Corporate culture and the behavior that flows from it are dictated from the top. Tolerance, perhaps even encouragement, of sloppy and reckless actions have now resulted in a environmental disaster the scope of which is still unknown.

Mr. Hayward should do the honorable thing and leave the field, admitting his feckless behavior and basic incompetence. In addition it might be advisable for the entire management be restructured with replacements being vetted for their technical and managerial strengths. A commitment to excellence will guarantee profits and trust. For now it appears that British Petroleum is nothing more than a platform to bilk the shareholders and the public while enriching the hired hands.
