California--Editorial: Jerry Brown's overheated climate rhetoric
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER ^ | Aug. 17, 2012 Updated: Aug. 19, 2012 9:07 a.m. | Editorial Staff

Pending auctions of greenhouse-gas permits will benefit only California’s government.

It's probably no coincidence that Gov. Jerry Brown recently launched a website to scare Californians into embracing his global-warming hype. The state is about to launch a cap-and-trade scheme that potentially will raise billions of dollars for the government, ostensibly to fight global warming.

In reality, the money is likely to be diverted to more mundane political uses – like backfilling the huge budget hole perpetuated by Mr. Brown and the Democratic-controlled Legislature.

The governor's new website, a propaganda tool at taxpayer expense to refute critics of global warming alarmism, is called "Climate Change, Just the Facts."

You can find it here:

Kalifornia is chalk full of airheaded liberal idiots, they had the opportunity to vote to delay this until after the economy recovered but because the proposition was funded by the oil companies the knee jerk reaction of all these idiots was to vote it down. I fully expect this state to flush itself into the pacific ocean sooner or later. Did I forget to say that this state is full of idiots?

When California re-elelected Jerry Brown, they backed up the Titanic so they could hit the iceberg again.

If only they’d regulated in time to save the Dinosaurs that once lived in the tropical rainforests of Gunnison Colorado... before Gunnison became one of the coldest towns in the state.

We’re done for, we’re done for!

"...We don't know whether the governor believes his global warming hype, as misguided as we and others believe it to be. But we are certain the governor believes in extracting as much money in taxes, fees and by other means from the private sector to feed the government spending machine."

I'm not sure when the Register's sale will be completed but I am sure the editorial board will start to sound like every other news sheet throughout the state not long after the changeover occurs.

Moonbeam has to hurry. Summer is almost over and winter is on the way. The “climate change” con job doesn’t work well in the fall, winter and spring.

Most likely Brown is as stupid and ill educated on the whole climate change/global warming issue(s), as say the idiot Boxer. And you citizen’s pay the price rather dearly.

Bump. That is, bump Moonbeam into the sea. We need a sane governor in California. Ah, never mind. It will be a Californian, hence, not sane.

California is flat doomed. We be fooked.

..... the idiot Boxer.

Back Uncle Jarhead! Senatrix Boxer is just doing her job, which is to make Feinstein appear intelligent, so back off. Tell me again how these two archetypical yentas actually get elected in Aztlán, anyway.

Given the number of faulty registrations, virtual Latino voters, and the dead Mexican Vote in the state, one would more likely expect the Senatrices to be the Sanchez Sisters. Also BTW, how come no one in CACALand is smart enough to inquire as to how Boxer and Feinstein (and Pelosi) have become BILLIONAIRES?

Good questions the folks in California should be asking one another. Then again. Perhaps they are to busy weeping on how they get screwed more so then perhaps most other states in the long run.

“one would more likely expect the Senatrices to be the Sanchez Sisters.”

That’s coming, assuming that they can stay out of jail long enough.

And we have another up and comer from the same mold, one Lorri Galloway, who funded her political career by looting her aunt’s house!

That’s a trick las hermanas Sanchez didn’t even think to try! Or it could be that their aunts were smarter than Galloway’s and knew a pair of crooks when she saw them.
