Yale anti-fossil fuel campaigners have indefinitely postponed a protest that was set for this weekend due to “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues.”
Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told the Yale Daily News that frigid, snowy weather set for this weekend will mean their global warming protest will have to be postponed.
I, for one, question their deep commitment to urgent action on this important issue; what’s a little inclement weather when the fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance?
Freakin’ candy-assed pantywaists and fair weather climate warriors…won’t someone please think of teh poor poley bears??!??!??
Happy Valentine’s Day, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa!
I’ve read recently that Obama’s gift of green cards and social security numbers to illegals will also mean a gift of billions of tax dollars in the form of the Earned Income Tax Credit (which you can also claim for previous years). Friggin’ wonderful. Not only that, but at a meeting of Secretaries of State of the various states, they warned the administration that SSN’s plus driver’s licenses (plus the Motor Voter law, but that wasn’t mentioned) means illegals are much more likely to register to vote and vote -- and they don’t have the resources to protect against it.
Make the rubble bounce.
Nuke it from orbit (since that’s the only way to be sure).
Torches.
Pitchforks.
Pine tar.
Feathers.
Rails.
Rope.
Lampposts.
Because the same traitorous, backstabbing, quisling miscreants of the GOP who voted just last month to spend another $1.1 trillion of our money will put up naught but token -- if any -- resistance to this shit.
They don’t represent you; they don’t give a rat’s ass about you or the Constitution. Stop enabling them with your votes and your money.
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”
“When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.”
Nah…I’m sure they’re staying warm with wood stoves. For which they hewed the wood with fossil fuel-free axes or two-man crosscut saws. And that they’ve installed expensive stack scrubbers to reduce the particulate matter from the chimney…which are powered by pedaling a stationary bike or something equally Gaia-friendly.
Personally, I’d prefer they stand at the focal point of giant solar arrays to stay warm, but that’s just me.
I think my favorite part of wind and solar power is seeing the different green groups start to squabble with each other as birds and endangered flies are killed or disturbed by these huge arrays. When you deal in moral absolutes like saving the planet there is little room for compromise. It is like seeing the victim groups start to fight for their moral authority and place at the trough.
When I was growing up I remember the very face of the civil rights fight as MLK. As I recall he did not call for government force and favor, he just wanted government imposed segregation and discrimination removed so people could compete on a level playing field, at least at first. When he fought discrimination on buses and in diners he did not call for government force to ruin people or businesses, he simply called for people to stop patronizing businesses that did not treat them properly.
I think that might be what offends me most when I see today’s groups comparing themselves to those courageous civil rights crusaders. This idea that only an all powerful government with complete control of every aspect of our lives can protect our “freedom” or “equality” is just too much Animal Farm for me. It makes me want to give up. I am glad I have no children.
Unless I’ve become demented, I believe all Dr. King asked was for equal treatment under the law. And that decent people treat discriminatory institutions appropriately.
I bitterly hate that the righteous cause of equality under the law has morphed into the demand for equal outcomes via special treatment and other disgusting carp.
Valentine’s Caturday salutations from Happy Larryville, GN!

Burn it down.
Salt the earth.
Scatter the stones.

You don’t suppose those delicate flowers are huddling from the cold in buildings heated with fossil fuels do you?
Hai, Mac!

I remember those days quite well, too, Mac.
