March to Keep Fear Alive VI

This is my last March to Keep Fear Alive post as the big event is only 3 days away. I will use this opportunity to rebut my Restore Sanity post from Monday.

They are called “News Reporters” not “News Checkers” after all no one in the news checked anything GW Bush said in 2003 and other than, invading a country and spending trillions of dollars to occupy it, what bad things happened from that?

If you had fact checkers in the media, half the pundits would be out of work. After all how can you have a pundit on the air screaming that Obama tripled the deficit if a fact checker is just going to say he reduced it by the greatest amount in history?

If we had fact checkers in the news a lot of stories wouldn't get covered just because they were completely false, like climategate.

It would be hard to drum up fear of all Muslims if the news had a fact checker mentioning that on 9/11 mentioning the fact that over 1.5 Billion Muslims didn’t attack us on that day.

The Tea Party candidates are already attacking the media because they report what the candidate has said and place it proper context making them look like idiots. Imagine how idiotic they would look if someone checked their “facts”.

Finally if you have the media check facts, Sarah Palin would be shown to be lying about 90% of the time and would lose the momentum she hopes to gain in this mid-term election and will never have a chance of becoming President.

Keep Fear Alive V

On October 30 Stephen Colbert is hold a March to Keep Fear Alive I am doing my part to help by posting motivational posters to Keep Fear Alive for the next few weeks.

And here is my rebuttal to Monday’s Restore Sanity Poster.

If you ask any politician they will tell you that some things are worth having other people die over. It would ruin their objectivity if they had to face the same perils that the people who are effected by their decisions.

Could politicians really protect the profits of pharmaceutical companies if they didn’t have free healthcare?

Could they support giving children information based on junk science if they didn’t send their kids to private schools not influenced by their decisions?

Could they declare war for no reason if the only way their kids could afford college was to enlist in the military?

There are some ideals worth having other people die for and we need to be sure that it is only the poorer half of the country that is asked to die for those ideals, not the half that makes the decisions.

Keeping Fear Alive IV

I have been supporting Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A March to Keep Fear Alive on October 30 by making a series of motivational posters for everyone else who is afraid that the fear we have had for the last decade will die.

Alternative Energy: Environmentalists want us to get more of our energy from the sun. Do you know who else gets energy from the sun? Reptiles!

We have evolved beyond Reptiles (Mitch McConnell not included) and we deserve a better source of energy than them.

Sure, 97% of climate scientists agree that using fossil fuels is causing Global Warming, but do you agree with everything 97% of scientists agree on?

As far as global warming it is a natural cycle that the 6,000-year-old Earth goes through every few 100,000 years. Any argument to this is just the liberal bias of math.

Most importantly, if we start getting most of our household energy from decentralized sources like wind and solar and run our cars off biofuels made from local sources the big oil companies won’t be running our lives and will have to start thinking for ourselves.

A tip of my hat for actively suppressing information on Climate Science goes out to the Washington Post for running article by Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) that attacks Dr. Michael Mann’s article on Climate Change. In it, Barton grossly mischaracterizes Dr. Mann’s research and motivations. Then they refused to print Dr. Mann’s rebuttal. The whole story here.

So the Washington Post is doing its part to Keep Fear Alive by allowing the congressman, who famously apologized to BP for having our shoreline bump into BP’s oil, to attack a climate scientist and not allow a rebuttal.

Keeping Fear Alive III

On October 30, 2010 the Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A will be hosting the March to Keep Fear Alive in Washington, D.C. To all those wanting to support this noble cause I’ve made another motivational poster for you.

Here is the rebuttal to my Rally to Restore Sanity about the Fox guarding the henhouse.

Keeping businesses from taking advantage of their customers is the first step towards socialism. Having a well regulated economic system that encourages competition and growth (also known by economists as the “American Model” based on the economic system that was in place in America from 1945 to 1980) is Unamerican.

Sure lack of regulations leads to destruction of the environment, high unemployment, stifling of wages, and general misery but the people are free to be ripped off by businesses. Homeless, but free.

Allowing regulations could turn us into a socialist country like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Canada that all have a higher quality of life than the US.

A well regulated economy would have us sacrifice our freedom to be ripped off for a higher quality of life.

Keep Fear Alive II

Stephen Colbert is holding a March to Keep Fear Alive on Oct 30, 2010. I am supporting this by making motivational posters for everyone who chooses to live in fear rather than sanity.

This week’s poster is a rebuttal to the Rally to Restore Sanity Post on Worker Safety.

Rand Paul has said that Government Safety Regulations keep mining companies from hiring. This is absolutely true. Before there were safety regulations roughly 3,500 workers a year died in mining accidents.

In the 90s this number was down to an average of 2 deaths per year with it going up after 2000 under weak enforcement.

With 3,500 workers dieing every year those miners needed to be replaced with living breathing workers. So Rand Paul’s idea of getting rid of safety regulations will lead to 3,500 people being hired by the mining companies every year. It is thinking like this that will get our country able to compete in a 19th century economy.

Keep Fear Alive

The Rev. Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A. will be holding a March to Keep Fear Alive on October 30, 2010. On his website for this event he gives the following reason:

America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear -- that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear

Source: Keep Fear Alive

And don’t forget Reason is just one letter away from Treason.

Is this march for you? Take this quiz to find out:

Are you afraid of Muslims, Gays, Atheists, and anyone else that is not just like you?

Do you believe Communism, Fascism, and Socialism are all the same thing?

Would you give up your basic freedoms to keep the boogeyman from selling yellow cake uranium to unwed teenage mothers?

Does the first person to draw a Hitler mustache on a poster of their opponent win the argument?

If you answered yes to these questions then this rally is for you.

Just so you don’t feel left out I’ve created a motivational poster to counter the motivational poster for sane people that I made in my Restoring Sanity post.

Here is the rebuttal to that piece about roads:

Rand Paul is running for Senate in order to abolish the Department of Transportation, he is a true patriot who will stand up against this Nazi organization.

The first world leader to establish a national highway system was Adolph Hitler. The US Highway System was set up by a President who spent several years in Europe while Hitler was in power, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Therefore the Department of Transportation is an organization to turn the US into a Nazi nation.

President Obama says he was born in 1961, this is conveniently the same year Eisenhower was President. Obama wants to repair and expand the US Highway System.

It is clear to anyone who goes out of their way to find things to be frightened of that idea of a US Highway System is a Nazi program, started by Hitler passed to Eisenhower and now commanded by Obama.

Luckily we have Rand Paul speaking out against this Nazi program designed to take away our freedoms by giving us a safe and convenient way to travel from one city to another.
