What's Climate Change got to do with it? Climate Change Denial is a Conservative Psychosis

"I’m tired, I’m really tired of this attack on drilling. Because my little mom and pop drillers, all they want to do is if they don’t hit the well, they want to record that as an expense. That’s all this tax break for big oil is. If they don’t hit, they don’t count it as an expense. You can write it off as a business expense if you drill and you don’t hit the oil. That’s all it is. 

Now multiply that to a multinational corporation and it’s the same thing. If they go deepwater drilling and they don’t hit, should they not write that off as a business expense? Sure they should. Just like my mom and pop should do it locally." (from 2012) Republican Representative John Shimkus of Illinois believes American Gothic was painted with oil dug up by the farmer and his wife.

As Chicagoland digs itself out from yet another massive snowfall the 2013-2014 winter stands as the 5th heaviest snowfall since 1885 with a total accumulation of 66.8 inches thus far.

These blizzards have been preceded or followed by The Polar Vortex which has sent temperatures deep down into negatives nearly 50 degrees below freezing.

By, far this is the harshest winter in Chicago in my memory and the snowfall and deep freezes back me up. But, this is America and in the United States evidence and observation are trumped by Conservative Outrage.

First, it should be noted, snow plowing is Socialist. I'm sick and tired of conservatives stealing my tax dollars to plow roads for them to use. Instead of mooching off of me, why aren't conservatives buying winter radial tires and snowshoes and getting to work by themselves up out of the snow by their own bootstraps?

But, leaving aside right-wing hypocrisy, the reason Conservatives deny the evidence of Climate Change Nationwide and Worldwide is two-fold. One) Conservatives idolize the Rich, Adulation of the Plutocrats is a core component of conservative dogma, and; Two) conservatives would rather win an "argument" than help people. Seeing people suffer or be harmed is the favorite activity for right-wingers.

From 2001-2010 climate change denalism rose in the US. This coincides with the Bush/Cheney "victories" in 2000 and 2004 and the ascension of the Angry White Conservative Male.

Since then the Republican Party has engaged in full scale war against the American People, destroying protections for the poor, underfunding agencies designed to stop rapacious businesses, stealing Trillions of Dollars and channeling it to off shore and Swiss bank accounts and sending Americans to far away lands to die for the Egos of a group of Chicken Hawk Cowards.

But, while theft, rape and murder are always the end results of the election of Republicans it is not their end goal. Because the Modern Republican Party was created for the aggrandizement, protection and defense of the upper 1% who control the government and oppress the American people.

Thus, the real driving force behind Climate Change Denial is Massive Profits for the Big Pollution Industry.

Corporations, like BP, Patriot Coal, Freedom Industries, Tesoro Logistics, Duke Energy, the Koch Brothers, Massey Energy and others have been enjoying massive government welfare and non-existent regulation, while they literally gouge the World and kill people for profit.

Their profits come from destroying the Nation and the Planet while also passing on any incurred costs of their pollution to the rest of us. Besides the massive criminal negligence we've seen with the Koch Brothers petcoke in South side Chicago and Detroit, BP massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico and from their Whiting Indiana plant into Lake Michigan, and the massive toxic spills into rivers in West Virginia and North Carolina the amount of oil spilled in the U.S. in 2013 surpassed the last four decades combined;

Altogether, 800,000 gallons spilled from US railroads in the years from 1975 to 2010. That data, which comes from the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, does not include records of Canadian spills, some of which are thought to surpass one million gallons spilled on their own. 

In part because of major derailments in Alabama and North Dakota, over 1.15 million gallons of crude oil seeped from train cars.

Corporations are people but, personal responsibility ends when Corporate-hood begins... 

There's big money being made by the Pollution Industry and that money might end if Climate Change and anti-pollution regulation is adopted or enforced. So they've paid off the Republican Party and Pro-Business Democrats to protect them and rhetorically poisoned the already sick minds of conservatives to defend the Rich as they literally poison and destroy the planet.

Governor Chris Christie tell New Jersey to Go Fug themselves

Never missed a meal, puffy faced Republican hero Chris Christie has a message for his constituents in New Jersey, Fug off and dig yourselves out of the snow!

“If someone is snowed into their house, that’s not our responsibility,” Christie said.

If people of New Jersey were rich and important like Christie they'd be smart enough to galavant down to Florida, on the taxpayer dime for a vacation just like he did.

Republicans believe that all Governmental functions are socialism, especially if they aid working class and poor people. And whenever they get caught revelling in their hatred for regular Americans they attack as Christie often does.

But, like all Republicans Christie is a blatant janus-faced hypocrite who out of one side of his mouth blasts the Federal Government for spending while at the same time requesting Federal dollars for his state, by seeking disaster relief from the US Government.

Snow Plowing is Socialism! And here is George Will, who has never done an honest day's work, blaming Unions for the response. And what is his source for this "theory" the Rupert Murdoch controlled New York Post and 3 anonymous sources as evidence. Because to conservatives everything is an opportunity to attack Labor and to weaken the Middle Class in pursuit of the defense of the Rich.

Street Plowing is Socialism!

Never miss a chance to party with the rich
'cause the rich know how to scratch that party itch.
For the rich don't care how much it costs
'cause a dollar saved is a dollar lost
when it's coming faster than you could ever spend it. ~ Party With The Rich, The Grandsons

Back in the Blizzard of '79, during the interim non-Daley Chicago Mayoral ship, Jane Bryne (a Daley acolyte) won election precisely because of the inadequate response to the Snow accumulation. This is an affront to God and America! Snow removal is anathema, if he didn't want it to snow he would have made Earth into Venus and then we'd all be living in the lake of fire!

Seriously, I wish the Tea Party would stage rallies in front of those giant Chicago public works lots housing those bastions of Socialism the snow plow/salt spreader! Why don't they stand and tell people if they want their streets and sidewalks clear they should do it themselves?

We all know the answer is because the Tea Party is a sham and the ignorant rabid rightwing which screams Socialism has no idea what that term means.

The Tea Party phenomenon is already done. They are quietly and quickly being subsumed into the Republican Party. Already the Tea Party Representatives are stealing Federal funds, most Tea Party and Republicans represent US states which get more money back from the Federal Government than they pay in taxes, and the same old GOP establishment lobbyists have hooked and ensnared the Teabaggers.

We have a few private roads in my town. This last weekend I had to respond to alarms and a Domestic Battery at homes (McMansions) on that road. Going there was horrid as my Crown Vic slid and fishtailed all over the winding inclined street. The Rich bastards who live off that road don't hire a private snow plow. I have no idea why. Perhaps, like the Tea Party they come to expect certain Government functions to happen without realizing from whence comes the funding.
