Kyoto - The Left Wing Liberals' 3 Card Molly on America and the World

Democrats will be running the Congress in the 110th Session. We now are forced to hear and read the Mainstream Media's glowing reports and opinions of their Left-Wing Liberal issues. One of them is this Left-Wing Liberal Environmentalist promotion of the reduction of Green House Gas (GHG). Democratic Socialists nations around the world convened the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in the early 1990's to agree to a set of objectives to reduce Green House Gas emissions. They believe that we humans are the negative source of GHG's emissions and our production is the exclusive cause of global warming. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change produced an amendment to the International Treaty on Climate Change called the Kyoto Protocol.

What is the Kyoto Protocol? Why is it that so many Left-Wing Liberal millionaires are pushing for the U.S. to agree to the Kyoto Protocol? Why didn't Clinton want to agree to the protocol until the end of his presidency? Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger agree to the Kyoto Protocol Scheme? Why is everyone so mad at President Bush for pulling out of Kyoto?

After reading the Kyoto Protocol, I found that it does only one thing. This document literally creates a commodities market for the trade of carbon emissions under the guise of reducing GHG's. The Kyoto Protocol does not result in the reduction and/or elimination of GHG's, improved health, nor increased monetary savings to average consumers!! The Kyoto Protocol is designed

This is how it works. Developed nations (i.e. the Untied States) must reduce our GHG emissions 5% below their our reported 1990 levels. Each country must then conclude what that total emissions level is and then decide the maximum amount that companies and industries are allowed to emit. Companies that emit less than their maximum allowable can create what is called are "carbon credits". Companies that emit more than their maximum allowable amount would risk a fine by the United Nations - unless they agree to purchase carbon credits from those who have some available for sale. Here is an example:
A XYZ company emits 100 tons of carbon each year and the federal government tells XYZ that it must reduce its GHG emissions by 35 tons to 65 tons. Since that reduction could destroy the solvency of XYZ, they would instead would purchase carbon credits from any entity in the world that has them for sale. GRN is allowed to a maximum allowable emission of 80 tons and they actually reduce that amount to 20 tons. This results in a 60 ton credit that it can sell to those who need the credit. One ton of carbon equals 1 credit, so in this scenario GRN has 60 carbon credits that it can sell to any company who wants to avoid UN/Kyoto enforced fines. XYZ could now purchase 35 of GRN's 60 carbon credits without reducing one ounce of GHG's and meet Kyoto Protocol.
Remember. The Kyoto Protocol does not result in the reduction and/or elimination of GHG's, improved health, nor increased savings to average consumers!!
Here is where it gets better. If the U.S. would have ratified the Kyoto Protocol as a Treaty, it would force the creation of a government run trading market for carbon credits. The common term is called "carbon trading". Now what happens if XYZ and GRN are not neighbors? XYZ is based in Sacramento, CA and GRN is in Jackson, MI. and neither company is aware that they need each other. Enter the money changers. These money changers are Finance specialists (i.e. Investment Bankers, Arbitrageurs, Day Traders, commodity & Stock Brokers, etc) who already have the infrastructure to create this carbon trading market. They would then be called carbon traders.
The carbon trading market will set the final prices for the carbon credits and the cost of those trades. Morgan Stanley is investing $3 billion to build its carbon trading floors and to finance the building of construction projects. Goldman Sachs, under CEO Henry "Hank" M. Paulson, Jr. built a $5 million Center for Environmental Markets and committed $1 billion to finance projects that generate energy from sources other than oil and gas. Paulson is now the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.

Left-Wing Liberals want this desperately because they would make hundreds of billions in profits from government mandated carbon trading. This is also why they will not agree to oil exploration in the United States or moving toward clean coal technology. Coal as a fuel source generates about 50% of all electricity in the United States. The amount of money that electrical producers would have been forced to pay would be in the billions to these carbon traders. That increase would definitely be passed to U.S. consumers of electricity.

The increase in utility bills would be a nationalization of the electric utility nightmare that we experienced here in California in the late 1990's, early 2000's. The electric utility debacle here in California led to California's 37th Governor, Democrat Gray Davis to be only the 2nd State Governor in U.S. History to be successfully recalled from office. President Clinton was very cautious not to commit the U.S. and himself to a similar catastrophe. Needless to say that on a national scale, there would be major hell to pay.

I REITERATE! The Kyoto Protocol does not result in the reduction and/or elimination of GHG's, improved health, nor increased savings to average consumers!!

"Gov. Schwarzenegger wants to build a large, robust carbon trading market that will dramatically reduce emissions,'' said Schwarzenegger spokesman Adam Mendelsohn. That explains election 2006 for the California Governor. This statement was a casting call to all of the Left-Wing Liberal millionaires who were going to support Phil Angelides in the 2006 California Gubernatorial election to now support Schwarzenegger. As we know, Schwarzenegger won in a landslide. Earlier this year, Schwarzenegger toured the carbon trading floor at Credit Suisse with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and discussed with New York Governor George Pataki ways for California to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and create an emissions trading exchange. Pataki was the lead founder of the RGGI and thought of the idea in 2003 after President Bush withdrew from the 160-nation Kyoto Protocol on global warming in 2001.

Here is a partial list of some who switched From Angelides to Schwarzenegger:
  • Democrat Terry Tamminen - Recently served as Schwarzenegger's Secretary of California's Environmental Protection Agency. Tamminen came to Schwarzenegger by way of Bobby Kennedy Jr., cousin to Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger's wife.
  • Democrat Richard Blum - Former Vice Chairman of the Carlyle Group, major Defense Contractor, Husband of California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
  • Liberal Republican F. Warren Hellman - Investment Banker (Hellman & Friedman), Liberal Republican, Responsible for the Congressional career of Nancy Pelosi.
When President Bush came into office in January 2001, he had the benefit of California's tragedy, Former President Clinton's political vacillation, and strong science concluding that the supposed scientific basis for Kyoto (humans are causing global warming) is a complete fraud. Seeing this and other inconsistencies, President Bush decided to withdraw participation in Kyoto and propose to the congress an alternative plan called the Clean Skies Act. Left-Wing Liberals from around the world were both horrified and angered of President Bush's actions because President Bush wanted to actually focus on "cleaning" the air rather than participating in their government enforced profiteering in the name of reducing GHG's.

So as we hear The point persons Robert Kennedy, Jr and Al Gore rant and rave about global warming, realize that both of them are simply trying to position themselves and their interests to make "windfall profits" and do not care about the environment. If they did care, they and their supporters would not be destroying the environment by traveling by private jets and "gas guzzling" vehicles around the country to tell others not to emit GHG's. Remember, Robert Kennedy, Jr. wants wind farms everywhere but his own back yard and Al Gore (who negotiated the Kyoto Protocol on behalf of the United States in 1997 admits that the signers of the Kyoto Protocol do not intend for it to reduce GHG's.

Grab your wallet and run away in panic when a Liberal speaks!!

Alberto Gonzales Has Got to Go!!

Ken Mehlman did what I recommended - he resigned. All I will remember about him is the unofficial support he gave to now Independent Democrat Senator Connecticut Joseph Lieberman and Left-Wing Liberal Republican Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island.

After spending millions of dollars Mehlman spent attacking Rhode Island Republican Primary Challenger Steve Laffey on behalf of Chafee, Chafee still lost and is now considering leaving the Republican Party. I am glad that he is making that choice.

I have to repeat again that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has to go as well. Gonzales does not have the "testicular fortitude" to prosecute Democrat corruption and seems to only cannibalistically prosecute Republicans exclusively. The results are that the Democrats were able to paint us a singularly corrupt and we had to prosecutorial references to respond. Let me repeat...

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales needs to resign or be forced out!!

Charlie Brown Republicans and Lucy Democrats

Unlike Democrats I am not going to blame voting machines and civil rights violations for this Republican trouncing. I blame us. Democrats won last night because we Republicans continued to listen and believe Democrats. We bought the emotion of Left-Wing Liberals and tried to "comfort" them rather than defeat them. We Republicans do not seem to want to except that Democrats hate us in the same manner that Islamic Extremists (terrorists) hate the United States. Democrats look for opportunities to convince us to trust them while plotting to use our trust to destroy us. They will never want us to "kick that ball".

In Election 2006 Democrat Challengers proclaimed their Christianity and politicized the War in Iraq. They criticized us so much over the last 4 years for doing the same that they successfully convinced us not to do the same. There was no separating church and state nor any restraint to politicizing the war on their part. They pounded us by using the "mission accomplished" theme against us while making every effort to keep us form using it for ourselves. In effect, Democrats won by being conservative and making us to appear Liberal.

We must learn that trusting a liberal will keep us in the minority. We must believe that their every intention is to embarrass us and destroy us. We must be "Jesus Loving, Gun Supporting" Conservative Republicans and shun any form of [Lucy] Liberalism aggressively and completely.

The only way that we are going to kick that ball is to make sure that the person holding the ball is one of us.

How Republicans Move on

If you are like me then you are seething over the Republican loss last night, Can anyone name a conservative version of the Media Fund, Americans Coming Together, or Moveon.org? None! How about a conservative version of George Soros and Peter Lewis? None! Conservative millionaires have go to be willing to spend money!!

If conservatives want to win anything anymore we will have to organize post George Bush. Senator John McCain lead the moderate Republican leadership to passing (and President Bush signing) a campaign finance reform bill that basically destroyed the organization that kept Republicans in power. We wondered in the wilderness for 40 years building positions to debate the opposition, but since that so called campaign finance reform bill was passed and signed, the new strategy is about having the finances to capitalize on the oppositions political weaknesses.

The first thing we must do is get rid of our own weaknesses...
  • U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales - He is too timid to prosecute Democrat corruption.
  • Speaker Dennis Hastert - He is too weak of a leader. He spent too much time trying to be nice to Democrats rather than effectively responding to their attacks with their own hypocrisy.
  • House Majority Leader John Boehner - was so willing to throw Tom Delay out of the leadership that his actions partly caused this fall from the majority.
  • Arizona Senator John McCain - He is the single most responsible person for the downfall of the Republican majority.
Next we must get rid of our weakness for consumption of Left Wing Liberal Mainstream Media for reliable information. We have to shed our fear of upsetting Left Wing Liberals.

A new leadership must be conservative and aggressive. This new Republican leadership has to be fearless in spreading ideas that will increase the amount of money in the pockets of middle income americans. Every issue must have that conclusion in focus. Conservatives must no longer concede any campaign anymore. Let's face it, Democrats came into Republican strongholds and took seats! Ironically I suggested to do the same in liberal strongholds here in Sacramento, CA several weeks ago to the Chairperson of my County Republican Central Committee. She nearly declared me insane.

It will be very difficult to start over again to regain the majority because the Left Wing Liberal Mainstream Media is still in collusion with Democrats to kick us while we are down. They will continue to say that the War in Iraq is was the issue and will add to that other issues that they criticized Republicans with. Their victory gives them the triumph of the rhetoric - even though it may not be true.

By the way, throughout this campaign no one has asked if the War in Iraq was creating more terrorists, then why didn't the War in Afghanistan do the same? Weren't the terrorists mad at us for being there as well?

Election 2006 - The Iraq War and the Culture of Corruption

Can anyone say what the Republican Response was to Nancy Pelosi's Culture of Corruption or that the Iraq war was no part of the War on Terror? Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!!

Republican elected officials had all of the information to demoralize the Democrat Party. The Iraq Liberation Act, all of the attacks by Islamic extremists on the U.S. from 1993 to 2000, and even evidence that an Iraqi military officer assisted Timothy Mcveigh were all political weapons that elected Republicans refused to use to any major degree in any political debate.

The culture of corruption is wide and deep in the Democrat Party. The website Noagenda.org and the Book, "Do As I Say (Not As I Do)" by Peter Schweizer both have an impressive collection of Democrat culture of corruption. Unfortunately, none of their corruption was ever widely known because elected Republicans were too afraid to respond Democrats in that way. All of the major investigations of political figures were against Republicans. It seems that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales seems to have a singular prosecution focus "only" on Republicans.

Here are some examples:
  • Nancy Pelosi has made supporting labor unions a cornerstone of her public career. Yet the vineyards and hotels that comprise her $35 million fortune have one thing in common: they don't use union labor.
  • Ted Kennedy favors racial set-asides on federal contracts -- but when it came to his own investment in an entire city block of Washington, DC, he got his political friends to help him waive an affirmative action set-aside
  • Harry Reid Illegally Channeled Campaign Contributions To Ritz-Carlton Staff Bonuses

Carl Rove and Scooter Libby were dragged like the late James Byrd behind the Republican Administration bus in a hopeless attempt to please insatiable Democrat attackers on the Valerie Plame leak. However, Mary O. McCarthy (the CIA leaker of the so called secret prisons) and the unknown NSA leaker who aided Dana Priest of the Washington Post in getting her Pulitzer Prize regarding story on (foreign surveillance) have yet to be given the Patrick Fitzgerald treatment.

Speaker Hastert went out of his way to protect Democrat William Jefferson of Louisiana who has yet to explain $100,000 in his freezer. However Speaker Hastert abandoned Tom Delay and all of the other Republicans who could have benefited from his "protection". William Jefferson, Democrat of Louisiana was just reelected to the U.S. House of Representatives tonight, thanks in part to Speaker Hastert. Former Majority Leader Tom Delay was forced to resign and his seat went to a Democrat tonight.

Election 2006 wasn't a battle of ideas. Election 2006 was run like case in a courtroom. Perception was everything. Believability was more important than what was factual. Challenging the opposition rhetorically was of primary import, not this Republican brown-nosing to Democrats that elected Republicans too often seem to enjoy. For example, Republicans got on the Mainstream media and would say that the Democrat is a good and decent person while that Democrat was saying that the Republican wants to spy on Americans and keep their healthcare out of reach. The Republican usually has no retort to that pejorative quip.

Democrats learned to micro target for votes and they put up very conservative Democrats to challenge Republican incumbents. We must now join forces as bloggers, activists and willing conservative elected officials to hammer the Democrat culture of corruption during every public policy debate. It must be so loud and so continuous that it keeps Democrats off of their talking points.

This hammering must not end with elected Democrats. We must now focus our efforts on the Left Wing Liberal mainstream media that gave them logistical and reconnaissance support. We have to treat any an all attacks against us as just a shallow effort to keep power. All of the cinematography, videography, and writing used by Left-Wing Liberals to destroy Republicans must now be used by Republicans.

I am not one to believe that the Iraq War policy. Conservative Republicans gained power in 1994 by ideas. Moderate and Liberal Republicans (who seemed to be more affiliated with Democrats than the Republicans they caucused with) squandered our majorities in 2006 by not attacking Democrats who attack Republicans personally.

There needs to be a conservative Blogger and Activist convention to address these issues and see to it that Democrats will no longer in the future gain a majority by merely using scandal to gain control.

Congratulations Democrat Party.

The Republican Struggle, Election 2006

We Republicans are in a horrible situation because our Party has a dangerous affection for liberalism. Our President is a Conservative, but rarely defends conservative principles with any rhetoric. As a matter of fact, President Bush, the titular head of the Republican Party does absolutely nothing to press back against Democrats when they purposefully distort administration policy. Furthermore, the administration does not prosecute those who violate the law who are "in bed" with Left-Wing Liberals.

The current leadership of Republicans is largely not conservative while the majority of the grassroots activists are still conservative. We in the grassroots believe that the current Republican leadership has doted with Left-Wing liberals to such an extent that it is doing irreparable damage to the Republican Party at large. Sadly, these moderate and liberal republicans are getting elected with the support of conservatives in elective office.

Here are a few examples of Republican impotence:
  • Senate Republicans whined about not being able to get a vote on judges because of Democrat filibusters.
  • Former Majority leader Trent Lott agrees to a ridiculous power sharing agreement with the Democrats which results in Democrats temporarily taking control of the U.S. Senate.
  • President Bush lets Ted Kennedy write the Education Bill
  • In 2004 Rick Santorum, Conservative U.S. Senator of Pennsylvania supported Liberal Republican Senator Arlen Spector over conservative challenger congressman Pat Toomey.
  • In 2006, the Senate Republican Campaign Committee spent millions in Rhode Island to defend the extreme liberal Lincoln Chafee in his primary contest against Steve Laffey.
Adding to that list is the seeming allowance by elected Republicans to let Democrats define every effort of the Administration. For example, the current unemployment rate is 4.4%. Democrats say "yeah, yeah" but then slam that number by saying that those jobs don't pay as much as they did during the Clinton Administration. Wealth as increased exponentially in America over the past 6 years yet Democrats proclaim that the average, when broken down really shows that wealth and income is centralized to the top income earners. The President has had all of the information that he could have used to prove that there was a connection between Saddam and Osama, yet they consistently shied away from that debate. Unfortunately, all of these Administration triumphs were explained by the Mainstream Media and the Democrat Party.

What could have Republicans done?
  • Realize that when liberals ask about the War in Iraq that they are not asking for clarity but to embarrass the Administration. Challenge the underlying motive of the question rather than the question itself.
  • Coordinate political debate strategy with activists in the base. Don't just assign to the base the grunk work of volunteering during a campaign. Share information with the base. participate in the "daily grind" with the activists.
  • Hold hearings on the skyrocketing costs of college tuition rather than on baseball.
  • Constantly hold votes on Judges even if that means gridlock in the Senate.
  • Demand that the Supposedly Republican Justice Department actually prosecute Democrats who violate the law rather than just Republicans.
  • Appeal to the nation how many high paying jobs would be created if we drilled for our own oil in the United States.
  • Repeal the executive order by former President Bill Clinton to ban the mining of coal in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah.
  • Highlight Democrat corruption.
  • Build a consortium of Republican 527's who can give millions to offset the millions given to Democrat candidates.
  • Highlight the racism in the Democratic Party.

Republicans have got to realize that we should treat Left-Wing Liberals as political enemies of the United States, not just citizens who are wrong. The phrase "I do not challenge their patriotism, I just disagree with them" is that mentality that ended Reconstruction in the after the U.S. Civil War and extended the "life" of Jim Crow.

No matter what we say about Democrats, they have only been out of power in the congress for 12 years in the House and a combined 10 years in the Senate. compare that with 40 years for Republicans in the House and 36 years in the Senate before 1994.

Democrats pushed Republicans off message constantly with empasis on scandal and emflaming voter anger over the war in Iraq. Republicans never responded in kind, angering the Republican base. Again, the Republican leadership seemed more interested in being admired by Left Wing Liberals than remaining loyal to the Republican constituency.

Loyalty to the base means something, but for some reason elected Republicans don't want to accept it. My question to elected Republicans is...Do you want to continually see judges who legislate from the bench? Do you want my taxes to go up? Do you want my job to be offered to an illegal alien for less money? Do you want me to have to endure the "cut and run" policy of Left Wing Liberals? If not then you need to listen to me, the Republican voter, and stop trying to find "common ground" with the political enemy - the Left Wing Liberal Democratic Party.

Whether we win or lose as a party, we must immediately change our leadership and never have to visit this political trauma again.
