“Dr. Thomas Borelli is a senior fellow with The National Center for Public Policy Research, a Washington, D.C. public policy group.

Dr. Borelli also serves as the director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project.  In that role, he defends the free enterprise system by challenging government actions such as regulation and taxation that stifle economic growth.  He is a fierce critic of CEOs who seek short-term profit by designing their business strategies to align with the social and political goals of government and progressive activists, and exposes corporate actions that have the potential to harm both long-term investors and individual liberty.

As a shareholder activist, he has directly challenged CEOs and corporate directors for sacrificing sound business practices in order to make deals with government and their allies in the progressive movement that bypass the competitive marketplace.”

Buy a clue! Cap & Trade is about controlling the economy and the population. The earth has experienced both cooling and warming since the end of the ice age. Would you like the landscape to return to that of a frozen snow globe? Species go extinct, it’s called ‘evolution’. We will adapt or we will also be extinct.

“You missed a few problems attributed to man-made global warming; the Dallas Cowboys haven’t won a playoff game in ten years and the New England Patriots did not make it to the Superbowl.”

Let’s actually have the DETAILS about how many more jobs will be LOST in the United States if we pass Cap & Trade.  Let’s also examine how many more THOUSANDS of dollars our families will be required to pay in higher fuel costs, electricity costs, food costs due to increases in costs to our farmers!  Call Congress and say NO to Cap & Tax!

On a lighter note, here is a parody you may enjoy.  “Hide the Decline”

Let the lame-stream media keep ignoring the FACTS.  DON’T SPEND YOUR ADVERTISING DOLLARS WITH THE LIBERAL MEDIA! Let’s let them be the proud recipient of the Darwin award.

How hard will the corrupt activist media work to bury this explosive story? Many of us have exposed the hoax of climate change by legitimate, responsible scientists for years but still the elites rob us blind and torment us with legislation, regulation on” the greatest threat facing humanity”.  (akbar!).  The Goreacle stuffs his gourd with his ‘ carbon footprint’  ill gotten gains (110 million and counting).

And then there is a great article on one of my favorite enlightened blog reads “Watts Up With That” posted by Steven Goddard, titled “Tipping Point in the Media”.  This is really a heartening read.  It shows that more and more individuals are taking a moment to THINK for themselves on this issue.  You can see that post here.

Listen, if you really believe in Global Warming — will you PLEASE PAY MY HEATING BILL FOR THIS WINTER???

Hmmm, that’s interesting.  Now if I believed in any type of a conspiracy going on here in regard to the Global Warming agenda, I’d be wondering if this was really an accident or if NASA purposely ditched the satellite because they knew the data it would expose would not further the agenda which would conveniently leave them to continue using flawed computer modeling techniques to propagandize their agenda.  I mean, my friend Marvin pointed out to me that we put thousands of satellites into space and it’s become an almost routine exercise.

Hmmm

Think Planning has to stay ‘in the box’ and have a strangle hold on individual rights? Mark Hinshaw has a proposition for Americans: Come out of your bunker, throw open the gate, and meet the neighborhood. True Urbanism, his passionate and highly readable appeal for re-engagement with city life, celebrates the growing number of people who reject sterile, paint-by-numbers subdivisions in favor of rich, vibrant, and often unpredictable urban neighborhoods.

Mark L. Hinshaw FAIA, FAICP (BArch University of Oklahoma ’70, MUP Hunter College/CUNY ’72) has had an influential career spanning architecture, planning, and journalism. His election to the AIA College of Fellows in 1994 recognized the unique professional fusion that had made him effective as Bellevue’s City Architect during the formative decade of his tenure there.

Now let’s talk a little about Government power at it’s worse.  Our next guests will be Jeff Benedict author of the new book ‘Little Pink House’ and Susette Kelo of the Supreme court case Kelo v New London.  They will share the story of what happened when the City of New London decided that they could get more taxes from a parcel if they seized it by eminent domain and sold it to a developer.  Hmm, so if your town needs more taxes they can seize your $200,000.00 home  to sell your property to a developer that wants to erect a $500,000.00 home so they can collect more taxes??  What’s that you say?? You don’t think that could happen in Virginia?  There is a Senate and House bill PENDING RIGHT NOW in Virginia that would facilitate this type of ‘taking’!   HB1671 and SB1094

Want to hear from a respected professor from one of our own great universities about Global Warming? Next on deck will be Patrick J. Michaels a Senior Fellow in Environmental Studies he is a research professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia and visiting scientist with the Marshall Institute in Washington, D.C. He is a past president of the American Association of State Climatologists and was program chair for the Committee on Applied Climatology of the American Meteorological Society. Michaels is a contributing author and reviewer of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Ok,  we may have a few more guests in between – don’t miss a minute ~ join us 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. this Thursday for “Melody Scalley ~ On the Edge of the Shore!”

Riveting! That is the word that comes to mind when I try to describe my conversation with Prof. Richard Epstein.  A quick perusal of the list of books this man has authored will give you some insight into how dynamic a speaker he is: How the Progressives Rewrote the Constitution (2006); Free Markets under Siege: Cartels, Politics and Social Welfare (Hoover Institution Press, 2005), Skepticism and Freedom: A Modern Case for Classical Liberalism (2003); Principles for a Free Society: Reconciling Individual Liberty with the Common Good (1998); Mortal Peril: Our Inalienable Right to Health Care? (1997); Simple Rules for a Complex World (1995); Bargaining with the State (1993); Forbidden Grounds: The Case against Employment Discrimination Laws (1992); and Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain (1985). Epstein is also the editor of Cases and Materials in the Law of Torts (8th ed. 2004) and has written a one-volume treatise, Torts (1999). 

Our main focus this show was property rights and also the intrinsicly false thinking behind zoning and government protectionism that stem from a naive understanding of economics that leads planners and supervisors to champion restrictive zoning that will ultimately strangle the areas where it is imposed.   Richard A. Epstein,  probably has a better understanding of property rights, zoning and its relation on economics then all the planners and supervisors put together.  He is the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, is the Peter and Kirsten Bedford Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and Member, Property Rights, Freedom, and Prosperity Task Force.  A Cato Institute Adjunct Scholar, his resume is impressive and far too long to list here so please visit: http://www.hoover.org/bios/epstein.html

Then Steven Minor the Accomack County Administrator  http://www.co.accomack.va.us/index2.html joined us to discuss new happenings in the county.  I am very very envious as to the number of jobs that Accomack County has the opportunity to attract in the face of this looming recession.  Kudo’s to you all and here’s hoping that you get your zoning in order in time to actually snare those potential jobs!  If only Northampton wanted to have that type of opportunity.  But alas, your potential business endeavors do not include agriculture, aquaculture or tourism so they probably didn’t want them anyway.  Right?!

Phil Dunn and Bob Savage shared their expertise in well and septic requirements.  Mike Starling answered survey questions.

Finally, H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., Senior Fellow at NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS, http://eteam.ncpa.org/about/sterling-burnett one of the country’s leading authorities on energy and environmental issues. He is the lead analyst of the National Center for Policy Analysis’ E-Team — one of the largest collections of energy and environmental policy experts and scientists who believe that sound science, economic prosperity and protecting the environment can go hand in hand.Burnett routinely discusses energy and environmental policy on national television and radio networks.
