Hide the Decline, Part Doh!
After receiving litigation threats from Climategate scientist Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann over the use of his image in the enormously popular “Hide the Decline” video, Minnesotans for Global Warming’s Elmer Beauregard removed it from the group’s YouTube page.
After receiving litigation threats from Climategate scientist Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann over the use of his image in the enormously popular “Hide the Decline” video, Minnesotans for Global Warming’s Elmer Beauregard removed it from the group’s YouTube page. This morning they, in conjunction with the No Cap and Trade Coalition, announced at the National Press Club the debut of their sequel to the original video:
When asked why he removed the video, Beauregard said “Right now, the last thing I need is a lawsuit. I can barely afford my electric bill.” Beauregard recently converted M4GW’s world headquarters (a recreational vehicle parked in Northern Minnesota) from propane to wood heat. “Mann should be glad to know that we don’t burn fossil fuels anymore — just trees,” said Beauregard.
“M4GW was started to poke fun at Global Warming because I knew it was a joke, it’s hard to believe in Global Warming when you live in a place like Minnesota. During last winter we all wished we had some global warming, hence the name of our group,” said Beauregard.
The new one still gets the point across just fine:

Global Warming nearly killed my trees last year. Recovery, natural, no *** icides, seems to be happening. We all know, or should, that the Global Warming program is a simplistic hoax. Old Al benefits and so does Old Man Soros. John Dos, AKA the USA Electorate, continual to be flim flammed into belief. Schools, educators, home makers are beginning to at least ask, just what is the truth. I offer a method for discerning such.

Your Choice:
A Socialistic USA or Capitalistic Republic USA?
Opine:
We stand at a Cultural Crossroads, Socialism ala Obama presidency vs. Capitalism ala the Founders Republic.
In order to properly decide, to make your personal choice in this point in our history, I recommend your attention to this analogy.
Just as the Blues Musicians did, so long ago, we now stand at the Crossroad of the Nations Hwy 61. Down this road comes a long limousine filled with promises of a Cradle to the Grave Support. The driver and passengers are dedicated, anxious and eager to promote their cultural life style. On the other path of this Hwy of National Decision comes a 4 wheeler, dirty, sturdy, filled with Can Do Workers, also dedicated, obviously in a hurry for your decision, as the cultural life style they espouse is individualistic and risk filled.
Your choice.
Here is a process to help you decide.
Educate your mind via your information sources, your spouse, and your children, know your enemy.
Compare your resources, validate your information thrice over, and know your intelligence sources veracity in depth.
Correlate your knowledge, measure thrice, cut to your decision with power, valid knowledge, and act quickly with decisiveness.
Decide, move forward thru the center, always watching your flanks, never be blindsided again.
