The fallacy of subsidized parity in energy pricing
Solardammerung, continued.
Yesterday, the Washington Post told the sad tale of Germany and the rest of Europe regaining its senses on solar power. After decades of heavy subsidies and price supports, the solar industry still can’t compete on a price basis with traditional forms of energy production, and thanks to the EU’s debt crisis, these countries
U.S. plans to boost EU rescue fund called stupid
Well of course the plan is stupid, look whose policy and plan it is. Barack Obama knows nothing about free markets, finance and capitalism, he’s a Marxist-Leninist Nanny Statist ideologue and has no interest in anything else. No, that’s not “name calling.” Look at his record, that vindicates all I say about him. He can’t hide from his actions and his record.
German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble said it would be a folly to boost the EU’s bail-out machinery (EFSF) beyond its €440bn lending limit by deploying leverage to up to €2 trillion, perhaps by raising funds from the European Central Bank.
“I don’t understand how anyone in the European Commission can have such a stupid idea. The result would be to endanger the AAA sovereign debt ratings of other member states. It makes no sense,” he said.
There’s his ideology on display in the above paragraph. Do you see it? And that ideology is being implemented here. The rest of the world will never catch up to America and be all one great big equal transnational socialist society, so you tear down America, spread the wealth around to everybody else to create “equality.” That’s what he’s trying to push on the EU. That is Barack Obama’s ideology. Again, look at his actions, and listen to what he has said. If you disagree, you’re just wrong, or in denial, period.
Mr Schauble told Washington to mind its own businesss after President Barack Obama rebuked EU leaders for failing to recapitalise banks and allowing the debt crisis to escalate to the point where it is “scaring the world”.
“It’s always much easier to give advice to others than to decide for yourself. I am well prepared to give advice to the US government,” he said.
And there’s the nanny statist ideology again, being a busy body minding everybody else’s business and trying to make them conform to your belief system and ideology.
That summed up the Obama regime beautifully. He’s minding everybody else’s business while the house is burning down, and he’s been doing that since January 20th, 2009 which is a big reason why we are in the mess we are in.
Whiney Sissies Cry Foul As Blackface Obama Billboard Manufactures Phony “Outrage”
Racism! Yeah, I know. It just goes in one ear and out the other with me too. So many of the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf usages by the left solely for political gain has made that term and those allegations meaningless and trivial. Well, satirical comedy with no ill will intended has now become racist, along with damn near everything in the world today.
German comedian Martin Sonneborn is well-known for jokes bordering on the tasteless. But a satirical political billboard of him posing in blackface makeup as US President Barack Obama is sparking outrage.
“Ick bin ein Obama (I am an Obama),” reads the poster at Berlin’s central Ernst Reuter Platz square, in an apparent play on John F. Kennedy’s famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech. On the poster, a “black” Sonneborn smiles as he raises his arm in the air.
The billboard is the latest in Sonneborn’s campaign for his satirical political party Die Partei ahead of state elections in Berlin this Sunday. It’s meant to make fun of the entire German political establishment and go up to the edge of propriety – another poster is entitled “MILFS against Merkel” and the campaign has also mocked the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party.
But the latest one is upsetting to some because of the racial connotations of blackface theatre, which was widespread in America in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
As Democrat Minnesota Senator Al Franken said during the ’08 election, “It’s just satire, get over it.” I’m sure for daring to publish the picture on this post, some sensitive, unmanly PC asshole will call me a racist. I have no doubt about that. That’s how those funny little people are.
Watch The Sprite Commercial That Was Banned In Germany
Germany banned this rather bold, sexually charged ad for Sprite. Now, I could have posted this without hiding it under the link. There’s no explicit nudity, no explicit sex act, no explicit language, but it’s the innuendo. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean.
