OT - Pelosi and Gingrich Commercial

Kismet · Post by **Kismet** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:27 pm

Given that we recently had a Newt Gingrich thread and we have the global warming thread, I was wondering if anyone else has seen what I just saw...

Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich sitting together with the capitol building in the background talking about that although they might not always see eye to eye, they agree that America must do something about global climate change!

The commercial was for http://www.wecansolveit.org.

Good to see that Newt and Nancy are getting to know each other and get along so well, might make it easier for them to work together in harmony to screw over the American people.

Lets see... Europe is in the process of being absorbed by the Caliphate, Athiest China is becoming a (very smoky) World Economic Power that will border (and be in opposition to) that Caliphate, and we're trying to shut our economy and means of food production down... (in part to produce an innefficient fuel that, in the balance, as a net INCREASE in unfixed CO2) just in time to watch Caliphate Europe, ME/North Africa/Pakistan take on China/India in a theopolitcal smackdown.

Leaving the Americas with No Oil, no food, and virtually no light industry.

I just love watching mass suicide.

Another solid conservative lost to the dark side. Will it ever end?

Watching Pelosi and Gingrich get together to gush pseudo-scientific propaganda reminds me of those aunts and uncles from childhood warning me about "The Boogerman".

He's gonna get you.

This simply cements, in my mind, the fact that these seemingly vastly different veins of power all come together at some point and form a single political class that has but one purpose; to instill a deep fear of the dark or the unknown, and from there, to rule over us all.

Their plan is to create an insurmountable problem, and then save us from it. Of course, in order for them to save us, we'll have to do as they tell us. And after they've saved us from ourselves, they'll tell us all about it, complete with details of their great sacrifices and personal heroics. It will probably be an election year.

Political liars spouting political lies.

It's gonna get you

You know what would be ironic, if the only thing holding off the next ice age was all the greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere

Seiously though, whether or not man made global warming is real, there are about a billion other reasons to come up with an alternative, not the least of which being so that we don't have to rely on a bunch of greedy despotic camel . . . um . . . lovers.

Also, there is exhaust from burning fossile fuels. If you wouldn't want it in your living room, should it really be going into the atmosphere? There is more to pollution than global warming.

Been there, done that. The book is by Pournelle, Niven & Flynn and is called "Fallen Angels".

Kind of dorky story, but the politics involved is pure AlGore.

I like some Larry Niven stuff. His known Space Stories were cool, especially the Ringworld Series.

I'm generally more a fan of social science fiction than technobabble scifi, though.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one who noticed.

Dancing for dollars.....
I'd like to know how much Newt was paid for the commercial.

Thank you Gentlemen for all the good hardy

you just provided me with. Although I probably shouldn't be laughing because what you are saying is very truthful and we are being handed another crock from our friendly Washington do-gooders. Anything to turn a buck and gain a little more control over the population through whatever means possible. You guys are just too funny though and especially you Jason with that statement, " You know what would be ironic, if the only thing holding off the next ice age was all the greenhouse gasses we put into the atmosphere." Now that's funny...
