That mind numbing plague called "environmentalism"

Posted by DougfromEagan on Monday, January 14, 2008 7:40:18 PM
Attention People of Small Town America!
That mind numbing plague called "environmentalism" is slowly working it's way into your community!!

The infection will tend to take the path of least resistance. Old hippies, retired teachers and college students are at high risk for infection. From there, the infection grows at an alarming rate, hitting next grade schools and their families. Growing geometrically now, this brain numbing disease will spread out to churches then to politicians where the infection metastasizes throughout the core of the community, destroying businesses and job growth, and producing a general reduction in the standard of living.

Symptoms of this plague include: a feeling that the world is ending and only reverting to preindustrial society can save the earth. Wild amounts of money will be spent on bike paths, solar panels, wind energy, alternative fuels and other forms of "mother earth" phony solutions. Soon the infected politicians and political action groups will start talking about "sustainable living" schemes such as smart growth, light rail and dense urban living to stave off urban sprawl and save more land for wild animals and less for humans.

It is thought that the original carrier of this disease was either Ted Kaczynski the UniBomber (the University professor) or Former vice president Al Gore.

The infection tends to lower the I.Q. of almost all of those it contacts.
Be Aware!! The only known cure is education from a non-infected source, usually a conservative, however the infection has reached some of the top candidates on the Republican side. It's effects tend to numb the brains of left leaning/socialist candidates first, Example: John McCain and Mike Huckabee.

Zombie Terrorist in Minneapolis

Posted by DougfromEagan on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 7:35:29 PM
Read original at Pioneer Press

Saturday night July 22nd Downtown Minneapolis.

Its been a tough year for the cops of Minneapolis. This being a year of increased murder in the Mini-apple. Rising crime rates complicated by rising temperatures make this July an ever dangerous one for the men and women behind the shield. But this night was like no ordinary hot summer night. This night shall be know as -- The Night of the TERRORIST ZOMBIES!!! This blood thirsty menace to society has plagued us before but, thank God for the men and women in blue throwing their very lives in front of the brain hungry mob!

Six! count them, six -- blood thirsty, moaning, staggering, collection of half rotted corpses, traveling from bar to bar in search of quenching their unholy thirst!   But wait !  Still more horror was noticed , they were wearing backpacks with ungodly homemade stereos!! WHAT HORROR!! Yes the "protruding wires" that only dead zombie alkida operatives from hell could have conceived - worse than a guy from RadioShack!!

The six undead, unholly unwashed but technically savvy, Terrorist Zombies were arrested for a Minnesota statute making it a felony to "simulate weapons of mass destruction", and put in the hell they deserve (without beer!).

The most terrifying thing about this true story is,  my car technically qualifies as simulating a weapon of mass destruction.

I tried to get hold of Minneapolis police but this was all I could get. Click Me

Thanks so much!!

Posted by DougfromEagan on Saturday, July 22, 2006 3:45:50 AM
Wow! I thank you so much for noticing my comment.
I picked Ann Coulter's  piece because she is  so popular and I think she is very cute. 

I also had an idea today that I thought my local newspaper should implement.  I contacted the publisher and an editor of the St.  Paul Pioneer press and told them they should  start doing a half hour podcast as an added value to their newspaper. Not the whole paper but a truncated version that was long enough for a morning commute to work or from work.  I don't know if they will do it or not but it's a cool idea.

 Alas too many of my ideas are being implemented without me, -- in 1995 I had this wacky idea to draw people to my website, it was very simple-- advertise your car online for $25 bucks, as many pictures as you wanted for as long as you want - till it sells. Sound familiar? CarSoup was started about a year later in Eden Prairie, MN (not my company), thats about 15 miles away from my house! Too bad all my great ideas couldn't be implemented and someone throw me a couple bucks for the effort.

On that note:  I am starting a Minnesota Chapter of the Ayn Rand Institute here in the TwinCities, if anyone is interested in joining please give me an email at aynrandinstitutemn@yahoo.com

Don't know who Ayn Rand is? click the hyperlink. You conservatives and libertarians will love her.

 Always looking for  other  blogs  to  share  a  reciprical  link  with  mine. Let me know  by commenting on one of mine and giving me your link. The comment link idea should help greatly.

Thanks again to Chris Bower and everyone at Townhall.com!

Fed - Stop the Insanity!!

Posted by DougfromEagan on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 10:45:31 AM
Fed in a tricky spot in terms of setting interest rates.

Dear Chairman Ben Bernanke: Take a vacation. Take up painting. Go on the internet and waste your time playing games or something. Please don't think you can help us! 

We all know how powerful the Federal Reserve is. Why? They control the money! Why?
Alan Greenspan was Fed Chair, and an advocate for laissez-faire capitalism, but what happened?

We should cripple the Fed to its most fundamental roots. Shrink it, starve it make it mop the floors.

Let Us Alone!! We will do fine. Really.

DO NOT CALL LIST - A waste of money!!

Posted by DougfromEagan on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 8:26:30 PM
I GOT YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST RIGHT HERE!

Ok, we have had this government, "Do not call list", for quite a while now -- you what? I get more calls now than ever before!  Is it just me?

Before the politicians stepped in a "helped us" - NOT! I was using my local phone companies product to screen my calls for me. The service was part of a package that I paid monthly for, but you know what? It Worked -- I NEVER got a call that I didn't want. EVER!!

Here's how it worked. When you called my number, you got a message that asked you to enter the password that let you get right through to me or my family members.  THAT'S IT!!  If you didn't know the password or was a telemarketer, you would have to leave a message or hang up.

Did I think the monthly rate for this convenience was expensive? Yes. Did I pay it? You bet.

That service is still available but I switched to a cableTV phone service right now and they don't have a service like that one and probably wont since the tremendous pressure to give control of the phone back to the customer is off - supposedly.

Bottom line:  The Government  shouldn't be in the communication business or any other business!

Don't get me started on that route, thats for my next blog.

Update: July 14th, 2006
Found something very cool on the net. This might solve my/our phone problems.
http://www.phonetray.com/  Its free but you can donate, it has no spyware or viruses

We could all learn something from Mexican illegal aliens

Posted by DougfromEagan on Friday, July 07, 2006 7:41:16 AM
I have noticed that my illegal friends are starting to drive better cars than I do.  They are starting to buy nicer houses than I live in. Do they know something that I don't?

Let's face it. If you told your wife, "honey, I'm going to another country to get a job, I don't know
if I'll be back -- ever, oh and I need all the money we have for my potentially deadly journey that
might result in nothing but my death. Have you seen my keys?"  What do you think she might say?

I have to give a lot of credit to these folks, "moms and dads" as Bush would say. They are risking everything to get here, and when they do they find themselves in a country that has a different
language, different currency and no job.

Despite all the obstacles they are able to make it here (of course lots of it depends upon our social programs and emergency rooms), live comfortably, start businesses and even send money back to mom and dad.

Don't get me wrong, I am not for illegal immigration -- AT ALL!!  I am just pointing out the truth... they are starting to kick butt.
Tell me what you think.

Night of the living Gore

Posted by DougfromEagan on Thursday, July 06, 2006 9:52:53 AM
6/8/2006 11:27:36 PM

My spin on the night of Al Gores "Truth"

I won tickets from a talk radio station to see Al Gore's "The Awful Truth", no wait that's the Michael Moore TV show. Al's movie is called "An Inconvenient Truth", it's a documentary about what a great guy Al Gore is and how close he came to becoming president, -- and Global Warming. I'm not kidding about 50% of the movie is like watching a bad political advertisement. The only cool thing about that was, it was comedy relief for me and quiet a few people around me. I really tried not to be a closed minded right wing extremist snickering and laughing at inappropriate times, but I couldn't help my self.
At one point during an "Al Gore is great" break, we learn of Al's son who was in a traffic accident and was seriously hurt, perhaps this was supposed to tie together our necessity of stewarding the earth for our future generations, but-the creepy thing was that Al showed us actual photos of him at his sons bedside holding his hand in the hospital- all professionally shot in black and white and perfectly staged complete with Al wearing a SUTE AND TIE!!! This kind of pathetic self aggrandizement went on throughout the whole movie.
As for the rest of the movie, there were tons of anecdotal evidence photos of glaciers then and now, lakes then and now and so on.

After The Movie

The best part of the night came after the movie was over. Most of the audience had left by that point, except about 40 or 50 of your hardcore Birkenstock liberals and me and some guy that wore a shirt that said "I just had my cat neutered and now he's a liberal". It was question and answer time with a professor from the University of Minnesota, I forget if he was a climatologist or meteorologist, but he was definitely drinking the purple Koo-Aid. The professor started out with his comments about what he thought about the movie, he said something like, -- he liked it but from a scientific perspective that the science in the movie wasn't as good as he would have liked to see it. He went on to say that the emotional feelings he got from it was more important. Most of the questions from the audience were really confirmation statements about how great it was to finally see something like this in the mass media. Green Peace was there, and other groups one called "Carbon Neutral", what ever that is, I think it means "lefty-nut-bag". One of the ladies in the audience brought to everyone's attention that the professor will be on NPR tomorrow and hoped that he would tell the radio audience what a great movie he thought it was. I shouted to the professor "I don't suppose your going to tell them about how the science in the movie is not up to par"? The professor replied something like, .. Well I will only have five minutes, and I just don't think I could spend the time It would take,.. something --something. The dude with the cat shirt got hold of the microphone and asked about the cyclical nature of the ice core temperature on Al Gore's scientific chart, and the correlation between the increased global temperature on Mars, and he was immediately booed and laughed and ridiculed by the audience. The professor's answer was he didn't know about such temperature changes on mars and basically dismissed the question. Later the professor said how happy he was that the faith based movement was taking an interest in the global warming crisis, FAITH BASED GROUPS!!! I kept raising my hand for the microphone but never got a chance; I fell back on shouting questions at the professor.
The scary thing about the professor was that this was not just a high school or middle school teacher with a passing interest in the field, he was supposed to be a top notch professor from a top notch state university.

The bottom line is: I got a cool movie poster, some cool dog tag necklaces (that were handed out after everything) that say "I SAW THE TRUTH - AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH", and I lost all respect for a university professor.
