Here is video of Bill O'Reilly last night going after Al Gore and President Obama's "Cap and Trade" legislation. O'Reilly called the "Cap and Trade" Bill a "Con." The "con" comes in because if businesses exceed the limit on carbon emissions, they have to buy "carbon offsets" as a penalty. The cap and trade deals would be made on the Chicago Climate Exchange, which is in President Obama's hometown, and which Goldman Sachs has a 10% stake in. Goldman would "vacuum up" commissions on every trade made. Employees of Goldman Sachs gave $1 million to Obama's campaign for president.
Al Gore started a company called "Generation Investment Management," and would stand to profit bigtime from the "Cap and Trade" Bill. His net worth has increased by 5,000% since he began his nutty Global Warming Crusade. Good for Bill O'Reilly for telling the truth about one of the biggest cons in the history of the United States. Let's hope it does not pass the Senate. . . . (Watch Video)

BOR is finally figuring out what most Freepres have known for ages. That’s a good thing though. There are lots of folks who don’t realize this yet.
Unfortunately BOR is a glowbull warming believer and says the evidence is all there. However he’s right about the con job going on.
O’Reilly has Algore pegged, but the con job is much bigger than that.
BOR must have been reading my FR post from last month when I pegged it. The least he could do is give me a little credit..........here is what I wrote in the middle of last month after watching the President of UBS America on CNBC...................................................................................................................
While watching CNBC this morning the whole cap and tax scheme crystalized in my mind. They had a guest host there from UBS and the he was espousing the Messiah’s economic plans. he went into the whole green jobs thing, and then two Congressmen came on. The one anti tax and kill Congressmam pointed out how ludicrous the UBS bankers arguments about green jobs was. Like the Spanish study just out from their ‘green economy’ showing for every green job created, two regular ones are lost. Also that it took subsidies of 750K per job to create each job.
The whole time the UBS guy on split screen just sat there and smiled, his smile getting bigger the longer the Congressman spoke. The UBS guy knows what the MSM and most americans do not, and this came to me like a bolt of lightning as I watched the UBS guy smile.
Cap and Trade is the replacement for Subprime and securitized mortgages, 50 to 1 leverage the banks used the last 10 years, etc. Without a housing bubble, the only way the bankers can continue to make money at our expense is cap and trade. Why? BECAUSE THEY WILL BE RUNNING THE MARKET FOR CARBON OFFSETS!!! The UBS’s, Goldman Sachs, etc of the world will game the system the same way they made liar loans, 110% mortgages, etc.
Cap and Tax is the bankers next big thing, and the main reason Enron went down and the Jeff Skilling and Andy Fastows of the world were hauled off to jail was cap and tax, not manipulating the energy prices.
Kenny Lay, Skilling and company actually met with Clinton in the White House to start this ball rolling. Once the bankers found out about this, they had to stop them by any means necessary to keep the pot of gold for themselves.
The smile on the UBS bankers face was like the cat who caught the canary, he can taste the money they will make by selling nothing but air. No cost, 100% profit. To the corrupt bankers, it does not get better than that.
Yeah, he's wishy-washy on a lot topics. He's been kinda vague on the AGW stuff until lately. I think he believes he has to be the 'seasoned and wise voice of Fox' as a counter point to Beck.
Beck never has a thought enter his brain without it flying unfiltered out his mouth. One of the things I like about him is he is totally open about his past failures. Kinda makes it tough for your opponents to sling mud when you willing acknowledge and own your pass mistakes.
BOR keeps his facade in place or no dems would ever appear in his show. It's part of the business; money, follow the money; ratings = revenue.
Here is the game, he'll have several people on to debate if it will or not, leaving people perplexed and on the fence. Classic Bor big government sheep herder technique.
How big of a scan is it? The 2,499 o’s below represent the nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and other elements in the atmosphere. The 1 x (try to find it) represents the carbon dioxide. Hm...

Congress is (pick one) insane; uneducated; deluded; or ignorant.
I choose a combination of all four.
I agree.
Perhaps he can have some of the scientists on his show to debunk the whole thing as the fraud that it is.
They can back it up with their facts instead of the fiction that’s been perpetrated on us.
Or better yet. Have Al Gore on along with the scientists to debate the facts.
Oh wait! Silly me. What was I thinking? There’s no more need for discussion. Al Gore said so. So it must be true.
Surprising that O’Reilly is just getting around to figuring this out being many of us had already figured it out.....
His global warming “no doubt” beliefs are considerably flawed.
“...selling nothing but air...”
I like that, and it is so true. A lot of people are going to make a fortune off of the misery the warming fraud is going to cause. I keep thinking that the warming fraud could never get the traction it has, if it were only the ranting of environmentalists kooks. It’s all about transferring the wealth of the energy market to socialist elites and governments, and with the wealth comes control. It’s about the creation of an elitist oligarchy to rule over the world’s serfs.
Duh.
His statements about the NOAA and their “data” ticked me off. Not going to watch him for a while.
