Climate change impact on Americans rests with Waxman, a federal speed reader and elitists gathering in Copenhagen
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 4:22PM 
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), hailing from a state that is flat broke, wants a 946-page climate bill passed faster than his fellow Democrats can read it.If the climate change (formerly known as global warming, formerly known as global cooling) enthusiasts have their way, Americans will soon absorb the heavy aftershock of science heavily compressed to fit political consensus. By aftershock I mean the transfer of our dollars to the pockets of others around the globe. By political consensus I mean those who ascribe to the theology preached by Al Gore. Thus it is with scorn that I mention today’s story in The Wall Street Journal, alerting taxpayers to the fact we are now paying a speed reader to absorb the 946-page bill that will impact every single facet of our lives. Hopefully the federal reader is able to comprehend on a level equivalent to his speed.
Coincidentally, is the federal speed reader a factor in consideration of a taxpayer class action lawsuit?
From the moment you open your eyes in the morning to the moment you close them at night, your life will be affected by President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress’ policies on energy—a Puritan approach to the management of air. This is third in a line of Democratic-induced bubbles, preceded by the dot.com boom and bust and the mortgage/lending boom and bust. There is no glory in a fractured bubble, but the halleluiahs as the bubble expands are a sight to behold.
All those earnest young college students who vote a Democratic ticket will pat themselves upon the backs of their Che Guevara t-shirts in the belief they have indeed saved the planet.
Gorian cronies and disciples, however, see unlimited stacks of greenbacks in those green enterprises. That this sort of greed spurts from brethren who disdain capitalism is enough to drive a Constitution-loving conservative head first into a large recyclable bucket of good Scotch.
Various commenters on The WSJ article after learning of the federal speed reader, spoke their minds about climate change zealotry, but there’s one commenter who is a very big Gore initiate. He posts under the name Barrie Harrop, and of course we have no idea whether he’s the Barrie Harrop who helped found Wendy’s and other speculations, and who told Digital Futures China, "I am drawn to business opportunities that really stand out in the market.” On the Web truth or fabrication can be hard to discern. Thus I will refer to the alarmist, for purposes of accuracy, as G-Harrop.
G-Harrop praised Obama for what amounts to his big green machine, noting Americans elected the president in part because of his energy policy. There is no requirement for common sense when it comes to posting on a message board, or for understanding American politics and media.
G-Harrop also inaccurately [see comments below] quoted one John Naish as saying climate denial is a “mental disorder.” The only John Naish I’ve ever heard of is a journalist—whether he has a degree in psych or medicine I cannot say. I can say that most alarmists I’ve met could possibly benefit from select prescription drugs which I would gladly pay for (if they have a proper prescription of course)if it would help them find a return path to common sense. I will include a Bono CD. Naish denies even saying those words.
[Edited May 21, 2009] In the comments section below this article, Naish offers comments illustrative of the passion of alarmist memes who substantiate alleged claims by experts. Naish wrote, "This was fabricated originally by Spiked Online, and when I challenged it, the author weasel-worded a response and took down most of his bizarre references to me. But too late, the damage was done because people just cut and paste on the internet. No one investigates the primary facts." The full comments are posted below. This is an excellent example of the hysteria promoted by global warming enthusiasts like G-Harrop even when they post at well-regarded websites.
G-Harrop noted he will be attending a gathering in Copenhagen (participation is by invitation only) wherein the righteous Reverend Gore and others will dialog on how, according to the Copenhagen Climate Council website, “the next global treaty can be shaped to encourage business action on climate change.” The very first objective: “promote investment in R&D.” Investment is a beautiful word even to an anti-capitalist.
Waxman and his Democratic brethren can’t read the bill fast enough to pass it fast enough. If you are ill-informed enough to vote for a man like Waxman, I’d suggest you fit right in with G-Harrop’s group, all of whom, in my opinion suffer from a mental disorder resulting in the rest of us suffering from unbridled crony capitalism, not to be confused with real capitalism.
Right now every American’s lifestyle rests on a quirky little congressman named Waxman, a very fortunate federal speed reader and a bunch of investors and elitists stomping a huge carbon footprint on Copenhagen. I can smell the emissions from Florida.
And now, a prayer for us global warming deniers:
Lord, deliver us from all that is rotten in the state of Denmark and America. Amen.

Your prize offer for today is $100 if you can find anyplace where I have ever written that climate denial is a “mental disorder.”
This was fabricated originally by Spiked Online, and when I challenged it, the author weasel-worded a response and took down most of his bizarre references to me. But too late, the damage was done because people just cut and paste on the internet. No one investigates the primary facts.
Thus nonsense proliferates. It's hard to trust anything that one reads now on the web. Best check your sources before repeating others' propoganda.
All the best,
John
John,thanks very much. I tried to confirm this with the poster by placing a comment, but this procedure did not work. Because the comment was on WSJ, I proceeded with a false sense of security. I will adjust the text of the column above.
The false attribution is widely posted on various sites. I did try to find a home page for you with contact information, but I was not successful.
On another note, I believe the Web is as accurate as print. Consider the multiple transgressions of one of the world's most quoted publications, The New York Times.
Also consider the errors in the global warming movement's defining treatise, Mr. Gore's film. Quite a few errors in that and I'd wager 90 percent of the faithful have no idea. I have not seen Mr. Gore address this publicly in the states.
The advantage with the Web is that I can address your request quickly and I can see to it that the correction appears in context. Print and TV do not offer this advantage. Nor do films or research papers.
And I am truly relieved you did not write those words. Thank you for clarifying this. best, Kay B. Day
