Happy Lenin’s Birthday!

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020

Yup, it’s time for the annual Lenin’s Birthday post!

For those of you coming in late to the party, Earth Day” is on Lenin’s Birthday.  Not a coincidence, given that the “founder” of Earth Day was much more a “Watermelon” than an actual environmentalist. Watermelon: Thin layer of green of the outside, red to the core.

Let’s review the predictions from the very first so called “Earth Day” back in 1970.

“Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” — George Wald, Harvard Biologist

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” — Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day

“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” — Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University

“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” — Life Magazine, January 1970

“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” — Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

Ok, Ehrlich was sorta right on this, if you restrict his predictions to modern Communist China, where they are showing the typical communist/socialist contempt for the environment.

“By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

Now we get to my personal favorite, although probably not Al Gore‘s…
“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

Monday Book Pick: Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy

Monday, April 22nd, 2013

Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy by Gwyneth Cravens

In honor of Lenin’s birthday, I’m going to repeat the Monday Book Pick from May 11, 2009. An environmentalist opposed to Nuclear Energy did some honest research and came to the conclusion that only Nuclear Power can provide the base load of clean electricity needed. Actual science trumps rhetoric.

Round Up Post

Saturday, June 2nd, 2012

Obama Promised To Cut The Deficit Six Times. Reality, deficit soaring to new record highs.

7 Times In 2008 Obama Promised To Create 7 Million New Jobs. Reality: Record high sustained unemployment with 23 million Americans unemployed, underemployed, or simply have left the workforce.

Leftist “environmentalists” admit that they kept quite during the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill. “I guarantee you, if John McCain had been President, with that oil spill, or George Bush had been President with that oil spill, I’d have been out there with a sign protesting. I didn’t, because of who the President was.”

Obama awards Medal of Freedom to Democratic Socialists of America Chair.

Obama’s performance in Poland: “ignorance and incompetence”

Obama has a lot more crazy celebrities in his corner than Romney does.

It’s appalling and undemocratic to raise more money than the Obama campaign. The comments on this one are great. Here are some of my favorites:

Way back in 2008, Dems and their friends in the media were all bragging about how much money Obama raised.  I guess it’s different now because shut up.

Because Obama believes in strict regulation of campaign money, it’s moral for him to take millions in unregulated money.  But because Romney DOESN’T believe in strict regulation of campaign money, it’s immoral for him to take millions in unregulated money.  Because stuff.  Also, racism.

Oh by all means, let’s keep the election funding fair and equal.  Donating Romney the use of a custom 747 to fly around the country campaigning (all expenses paid) should just about do it.  And if it still isn’t balanced out, we can disable the security features for his credit card donations until we bring him up to parity with Obama.

 Unemployment rises to 8.2% Instead of new jobs increasing last month by the the Obama administration’s prediction of 150,000, the actual number was 69,000.

The unemployment rate that counts discouraged workers rose as well, swelling to 14.8 percent from 14.5 percent in April.
