Don't Worry Texas He Is Back!
Thanks be to God that he is back in Texas and far, FAR away from the White House!
The Lies That Led To War
Let us not repeat those same mistakes ever again! I wish we could just go back and erase the past 8 years under George W. Bush, but unfortunately that is just not possible... Just imagine how much different our economy and the world would be if we had just gone with the popular vote and elected Al Gore... Sad really...
Here is a documentary from CBC that shows us all the lies that built the war in Iraq...
Should Dick Cheney Be Prosecuted For War Crimes?
No idea who this news reporter is but she knows what she is talking about. What a disaster this last 8 years was in our country. I am not sure how long it will take to repair the damage that George W. Bush and company has caused, but I can only hope that it is not damaged beyond repair...
George W. Bush 8 Years Ago
It is always great to check back on what politcians say while they are campaigning and see how many promises they actually kept and policies they outlined and stuck with. If it wasn't so damn sickening I would have put this one in World's Funniest Video... Here is the worst president in the history of the United States, George W. Bush... failed wars, a crippled economy, hatred of America around the world, a climate that has worsened while we stand by doing nothing, I don't know what more he could have done to leave this country in worse shape...
George W. Bush On His Way Out
Under the last- minute rules George Bush has passe the following...
"loaded firearms would be allowed in national parks, uranium mining would be permitted near the Grand Canyon and many injured consumers would no longer be able to sue negligent manufacturers in state courts. Other rules would gut the Endangered Species Act, open millions of acres of wild lands to mining, restrict access to birth control and put local cops to work spying for the federal government."

Just something to think about...
Bush Gets Shoe Thrown At Him
I am sure if you follow the blog at all you know that I disagree with almost everything that our current president George W. has done over his 8 years of destruction, but I gotta give him one thing he would probably be pretty good at dog ball! Watch as this Iraqi throws a shoe at him during his press conference today...
Bush Had Never Heard Of $4 Gasoline
Just when I thought George W. Bush couldn't sink any lower this video comes out. From the Daily Show here is a clip of the president talking about $4 a gallon gasoline. Incidentally, the national average for gasoline just hit $4.00 and we haven't even had any hurricanes yet... I said it before and I will say it again, Bush is a damn fool!
Going Green Will Create More Jobs...Duh!
I have been saying this for a while now, but it is not often that you can actually find someone that agrees with me. All the talk coming out of the present administration is that we can't sign the Kyoto Protocol, can't reduce emissions, can't help the environment because it would hurt the economy. The joke is on them because now the economy is being crippled by high gas prices... Ah leave it to Bush, what an amazingly intelligent president we have : )
Van Jones, founder of Green for All knows what he is talking about... have a listen!
100th Post At Growing Growing Gone
Typical George W. Bush... Dragging his feet on climate change! I heard someone in the store today call him a devil... I myself am beginning to wonder! I can't wait for all those new nuclear power plants he talks about in the speech below, that way when we have a nice earthquake like the one in China the other day we can all become X-men mutants... It will be a great world! O wait or maybe we could use all that nuclear waste from all those new power plants and give it to Nevada to hold... after all if it's underground it is no problem right? All that clean coal too... I just can't wait! What a damn ignorant fool...
On a side note polar bears were put on the protected species list today... a step in the right direction, but what is this really going to accomplish. I have talked about climate change over the past couple years on this site, and it seems as if here in The United States nothing has really done nothing. The consequences are everywhere though, new studies come out all the time about how much ice is melting in Greenland, the Arctic and virtually ever other glacier in the world. Cyclones and tornadoes are ravaging parts of the world, but that's no real problem right? Let's all talk about the economy and how our poor house is going down in value... Get your head out of your ass!
Phew, glad I got that out... now let's take a look at the past 100 post here at Growing Growing Gone...

Bill Maher Gives You Something To Think About
This clip is both very funny and very disturbing... You have to admit though Iraq was one of the biggest mistakes in modern history. At least we can discuss it here in the states unlike in China where they sensor the Internet...
David Letterman KO's Bill O'Reilly
"You are putting words in my mouth, just like the way you put artificial facts in your head." That was one of the best lines I have ever heard come out of David Letterman's mouth! It is funny that O'Reilly kept saying Bush was a evil man, running this country... hmmm perhaps he is starting to catch on after all! The facts are actually quite simple... we went over there because George W. Bush said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction... there were no weapons of mass destruction and there is no link between Iraq and 9-11... funny that most of the hi-jackers were from Saudia Arabia yet we don't even think about doing anything to them... afterall they give us lots of oil will no problems at all. The fact that Bill O'Reilly admitted it is all about oil says it all. American blood for oil... does that sound like a good idea to you?
US Dragging It's Feet On Climate Change
The US says that it is not the right time to talk about climate change... What a joke, there are nations from all over the world gathered in Bali to discuss the serious issue that is climate change. Why is this not the right time? Damn fools...
James Connaughton is a major US negotiator and here is his quote...
"We will lead... The US will lead, and we will continue to lead, but leadership also requires others to fall in line and follow." Does he even comprehend the words he is spouting out? We are not the leaders here, we are and always have been on the wrong side of this argument... and it is not the other countries, but us the needs to fall in line and follow!
Here is a bit more of Mr. Gore's speech...

Why The Alternative Energy Bill Won't Pass
Finally alternative energy is starting to gain some traction in the United States government, but don't get too excited about this bill. It is being challenged in the Senate, and even if it gets past them President George W. Bush has already threatened to veto it.. just like he veto's the health care for kids.
If you missed his last great decision, the reason he vetoed the health care for kids bill was because it called for an increase in the cigarette tax to cover the expenses... Apparently the tobacco companies are yet another evil bunch that are pulling the strings of this puppet. Here is his explanation for vetoing a bill for POOR CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE...
So why would George W. Bush want to veto this alternative energy bill... well it is quite simple, the bill calls to stop subsidising the oil and coal industry and give the money to wind, solar and other renewable energies. Unless you have lived under a rock for the past 7 years you already know that the oil and coal industries have the biggest pull with this oil hungry president. After all isn't that why we are in Iraq... or was that to spread democracy through blood... hmm I forgot!
The bill also requires passenger vehicles sold in the United States to achieve an average of 35 miles per gallon by 2020, the first significant increase in mileage standards since 1975. (that is not asking a lot countries all over the world have way better fuel standards then The United States) First off, this would reduce our dependence on oil and help out the automotive industry by encouraging people to purchase cars and trucks with better mileage... it is a win-win. Plus, all that money going to solar and wind would only stimulate the economy further by creating a demand for these type of manufacturing jobs.
Being the pessimists that I am when it comes to having any faith in the abilities of our government, I don't think this bill has a chance in hell of passing, but the fact that it even made it to the senate does say something... The question is can we afford to wait until the next president is elected and gets settled in.. which will probably take another 2 years! It just seems like it will simply take too long.
In other news in case you missed it The United States is now the only one who hasn't signed the Kyoto Protocol with Australia agree to the pact just the other day. Listen to what we had to say about it...
"The challenges of climate change are big, and serious. The next step is to reach agreement in Bali on a negotiating road map for a new post-2012 framework. We look forward to continuing to work together constructively with Australia, as we have in APEC, the Asia Pacific Partnership, and the Major Economies process," said Kristen Hellmer with the White House Council on Environmental Quality."
I am sorry but why are we talking about what we are going to do in 2012? By then it could already be too late to reverse the process that is beginning to snowball more and more ever year... Money grubbing fools is the only way I can describe this administration... sad that America used to be the leader when it came to making world-wide decisions and leading by example. I hate to think about the way the world sees us nowadays not as a great nation, but as invaders and occupiers who are only helping destroy the world through pollution and waist.
I know most American's are better than this, so why do we let ourselves be portrayed this way? I know what your thinking there is nothing I can do, but guess what you can... make some noise, write your congressman, get involved... The country was built on the people, not the corporations. Corruption has been running this country for way too long... time for a change. What do you think?
Preach On Brother!
Ross Gelbspan, author of "the heat is on" and "boiling point" spoke Sept 2007 at the international forum on globalization. Please take some time to listen to what he has to say, this man has been studying the subject for the past 10 years and knows quite a bit about the issue that is climate change. There is a lot of talk these days about how to handle such a immense issue, well have a listen because this guy actually has the answers...
What really bothers me is that The United States is suppose to be a leader when it comes to world issues like this, but with George in office he and his administration have completely turned their back's on scientific fact, and sided with the energy companies. I know I can sound like a broken record sometimes, but this is the sad truth. For more about our president and his evil tactics check out this post or for more information about the speaker in the above video Ross Gelbspan check out his website here.
We need to realize that this is an issue we need to deal with now, not later. We can't let politics get in the way of saving humanity from itself...
