Global Warming Nuts Deface Mount Rushmore With Banner

Proof • July 9, 2009

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and . . . Barack Obama?
Patriotic tourists visiting the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota on Wednesday found a fifth face displayed — and not as a compliment — next to the giant stone carvings of four legendary presidents.
A group of environmental activists connected with Greenpeace unfurled an enormous banner showing President Obama’s face and calling for an end to global warming.
The 65-foot by 35-foot banner — which read “America Honors Leaders, Not Politicians: Stop Global Warming” — was hung to the immediate right of Lincoln at about 10 a.m. local time, said Patty Rooney, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service’s Midwest Regional Office.

I wonder what the carbon footprint of the gigantic banner they’re never going to use again was.

It’s low class, but a banner is not exactly destructive.

The sun is going to be really pissed.

The sun has a missile defense “heat ray”. They’ll never get within 250,000 miles. Don’t worry about it!

You know, as protests go, I actually think this is pretty good at getting their point across to BO. They didn’t actually hurt anything… Kudos to them for being creative, and hopefully BO will their their advice and go off the deep end with this Global Warming BS and be completely marginalized with the public, haha

What’s the “proper” temperature for the globe?

– I’ve been asking this for years. As soon as someone can tell me the correct temperature of the planet, I will believe that it is warming up or cooling off. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

Just saw that the folks who did this were arrested. I don’t have time to read the entire article but I imagine it might be for something like conducting a protest on government property without a permit or some such. I think it’s kind of funny that you have to get a permit to protest, regardless of the subject of the protest. I find it particularly ironic that we the people, who are the government and therby own the property need someone’s permission to exercise our 1st amendment rights on it.

Not that I support their position, Global Warming/Climate Change is a crock, but they do have a right to voice their opinion. And they didn’t do damage that I’m aware of that would constitute defacing a national monument, but it is pretty disrespectful.

See, now THIS is why you need to be able to carry handguns in a national park.

The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology. Anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory is the biggest, most dangerous and ruinously expensive con trick in history.

All of us need to restore a sense of scientific perspective to a debate which has been hijacked by politicians, environmental activists and opportunists.

There’s no way the Global Warming Theory is more dangerous than the Bush-Cheney Controlled Demolition of World Trade Center on 9/11 Theory.

Also, the Government Created AIDS theory was also a much more ruinously expensive con trick. Think of all the people who’ve died!

See, Mickey? “The theory of human-caused global warming is a deliberate fraud, perpetrated for financial or ideological reasons” comes right after “Fluoridation is part of a Communist or New world order or Illuminati plot to take over the world” and right before “Humanity is actually under the control of shape-shifting alien reptiles, who require periodic ingestion of human blood to maintain their human appearance.”

To murder liberals?

Al Gore is making more money than Bill Gates off of the crock called Global Warming…what it’s not warming?, sorry…Climate Change (yes, they changed the name because of the mounting evidence against “Global Warming”.

He complains about me and my SUV and the carbon footprint I use….but does not discuss his massive home, and private jet he uses…

Must be the “Do as I say, No as I do” special exclusion for failed presidential candidates… actually, just plain failures.
