Government’s Making it rain on Michael Mann

The Obama stimulus money reminds us of a bad rap music video. The government is standing over a dance floor — throwing money over the crowd (“making it rain,” as the rappers say) — and people are jumping up in the air trying to snatch all they can. The only problem with this rap video is the club only let in Michael Mann and others who promote the greens’ agenda.

In this video, Fox Business News’ Stuart Varney interviews Tom Borelli, Ph.D., of the National Center for Public Policy Research to discuss stimulus funds, Michael Mann, and cap-and-trade. Our favorite part is Varney’s shock when he learns that Mann created the “hockey stick.”

We apologize for the obvious omission of Barack Obama as the money-spreading pimp in our analogy. But we figured he’d be doing plenty of his own gratuitous pimping on tonight’s State of the Union address.

  1. Cap and trade is a clever way of making the rich, richer and the American working classes poorer. We, the people, are onto this scam – the Pew Research Center poll of public opinions on various policy issues ranks “Global Warming” at dead last.
    Nearly three times more respondents listed Terrorism as a higher priority than Global Warming–80% to 28%
    Full story at the link. Quote and chart pasted below.
    http://people- press.org/ report/584/ policy-prioritie s-2010.
    “Dealing with global warming ranks at the bottom of the public’s list of priorities; just 28% consider this a top priority, the lowest measure for any issue tested in the survey. Since 2007, when the item was first included on the priorities list, dealing with global warming has consistently ranked at or near the bottom. Even so, the percentage that now says addressing global warming should be a top priority has fallen 10 points from 2007, when 38% considered it a top priority. Such a low ranking is driven in part by indifference among Republicans: just 11% consider global warming a top priority, compared with 43% of Democrats and 25% of independents. “

    Although originally driven by Green Activists,with socialist backgrounds,”Climate Change” has been taken over by very stange and different bedfellows,Capitalists nad Marxists.
    This unholy alliance will allow the Capitalist to make their money,no questions asked,while the Marxists “level” society with the carbon taxes,then developing the “Third World “in “their vision of state slavery”.Only masters and workers.
    Question is,which one will you be!
    GOVERNMENTS are changing,from democracies to “Collective Panels of Representatives” unelected and Quango’s[like the EPA],controlling the way we live ,use energy,food,water,air,housing.travel.procreate.
    The future is SERFDOM for all but the ELITE!
