Reminder: Crank Up Your Energy Consumption From 8:30pm – 9:30pm Today

Because that Earth Hour thing is rolling around again, and all the liberals and greenies are going to be turning their power off. Given that America’s energy sector is already struggling with the grim specter of massive increases in taxes and regulation from the Obama industry, with the coal industry (51% of the nation’s electricity) specifically looking at a possible grim future under a cap-and-trade system Obama himself said might bankrupt them, somebody has to increase energy consumption to make sure we don’t lose any more energy industry jobs than we have to.
So turn on those lights. Crank up that electric heat (or your AC, depending where you live). Turn on all your televisions. Power up all your computers. Blend something. Flip on the garbage disposal. Heck, put the garage door up and down for an hour.
There are jobs on the line, people.

    I burned a big fire yesterday. Contribute to the CO2 layer.

    It’s good for us.

    I’m going to turn on every thing I have. It’ll make up for the idiots.

  • Spartacus

    Had to stop early, starting to rain here, not a good combination with cheater slicks. Looks like I did burn off a bit over 5 gallons of racing gas though. And the 150 yard long, 12″ wide pozzies in front of the house look great. ( that is until she sees them in the morning.)

  • Spartacus

    Yep, I’m ready!

    Me too. Just dumped 2 five gallon cans of racing gas in the ’66, kind of chilly here so I’m letting it warm up in the driveway. Smoke ‘em!

    Thanks for the reminder.
    I am also going outside and cranking up both my vehicles.
    Turn on all my flashlights.
    And maybe eat some beans, cabbage, and Italian suasage today so i can fart lots of CO2 into the atmospere.
    This is pure liberal/socialist folly.

    The hilarious thing will be in 40 weeks if the manmade global warming population control alarmists realize that they’ve caused a baby boom with their lights out campaign.

    LOL!!!!!!!!! It might just happen, except that abortion is their 2nd religion.

    And then get in your SUV/truck and race up and down the street burning rubber.

    2Hotel9, that photo is kind of like the one I saw and it cracks me up! They won’t even stop short of embarrassing themselves to validate themselves even when the pictures are hilariously showing no such thing. That picture reminds me of what we saw here. A public school had all of their lights off including in the parking lot, which is unusual for them. Everything else apart from the school on the government puppet strings was well lit. It would be like the media driving out to the school to show the “grand support” of the lights out fraud.

    I’m usually turning off lights around here because of the obvious, but yesterday, everything I could find was on. I don’t appreciate how the control freaks piggyback off a valid point to add on 1,001 controlling, freedom killing, and life snuffing points, that twist any benefit out of the initial valid host point.

    It’s the same backwards working concept they use with the theory of evolution. They start with the end goal which has a predetermined outcome that there is no God. Then they work from there trying to incorporate and twist any valid concepts like God-given heredity and God-given adaptation, so they can “prove” their phony agenda.

    It sounds exhausting to continually beat their head against that which they say doesn’t exist.

    Earth Hour – Take the RedState Pledge

    I do solemnly swear that I will honor Earth Hour by turning on every light in my residence at 8:30 p.m. on March 28, 2009, for one hour. God said, “Let there be light.” Who are we to argue?

  • tom

    Smoking lamp is on, Light em up

  • http://vdvfamily.com/ Sphagnum

    Every light in my house will be on, except the kids room…. they need their sleep :)

  • Spartacus

    Now you just pissed me off.

    I’m not sure who you’re pissed off at Atease. Read it again and think about it, I’m complex that way sometimes. If you’re pissed at me, I think you’ll find we met the same conclusion at the end, we just went opposite directions to get there.

  • Eneils Bailey

    I’ll turn on all the lights while I burn those tires

    Boy, that’s a good idea. Not burned tires in years. Those babies will burn all night. Just don’t sit close to the fire. Those things get to cooking really good, they will pop and splatter hot, molten rubber all over the place. But, the smoke and stench will keep the mosquitoes and bugs away. Asphalt shingles and various plastics will add a unique glow of different colors for those of you that find burning tires a bit boring. Other options include: old paint cans, rubber matteress’, aeresol cans, old computers, old insecticides and fertilizers, polyester clothing, or anything nature does not produce unless we modify it.

    Happy Camping…

  • http://www.rabidamerican.net/ Rabid American

    Yep, I’m ready!

    Ol’ Rabid has replaced 7 bulbs with 500-Watt bulbs to burn this evening for earth hour…..

    - All the lights on (it’s 19:00)
    - Mrs. Rabid is prepping a heavy load of laundry,
    the dryer is running, ready to bake a cake.
    - The furnace is turned up to 85.
    - Fueled the Hemi-Jeep G/C with Premium

    - The Weber will be fired-up charcoal-grilling a couple of 2″ well-marbled Rib-Eyes.
    - The smoker is finishing the ribs & brisket for Sunday dinner…..

    As I stated before, any sandal-wearing, greenie, communist, limp-wristed, eco-punk that dares to show up is REALLLYYY gonna wish he had been aborted………….

  • dawneyr

    I wonder if the drive-by media will report any increase in crimes on March 28, 2009 between 8:30-9:30 compared to well-lit evenings?

    I saw on Yahoo a humorous/pathetic attempt to show “successful” participation in the lights out fraud campaign. There are two pictures side by side and one is well lit and the other is somewhat well-lit. It’s kind of like the way the msm has tried to falsely portray (ineligible) Obama’s pres win as a landslide. Living a lie must be tedious work.

    These holidays always leave me exhausted.

    First, I have to fire up the F-350 to get way up North, fire up the gas-powered generators that will power the floods that give us the illumination needed to locate and beat baby seals to death, and then jack-light polar bears.

    Then, there’s all the waste crankcase oil we’ll be dousing the penguins with.

    Oh dang, I left all the lights on and the AC set to 68 in my home in Texas.

    Really, you need a vacation from your vacation when you try to pack as much fun as you can in such a short amount of time.

    Check out this sad little photo set from BBC International Service.

  • sayanything-5371

    The “news” is showing a some idiots that all drove down to be part of a crowd with the lights off. People in the crowd are waving around “light sticks”. They are cheering that they made a difference. They burned gas to get there. They burned gas to get back home.

    Where did Al Gore fly to in his private aircraft to celebrate “earth hour”?

  • atease

    No, I don’t agree. You say

    based upon their being okay with what they have

    and that is where we part or I went to a different school.

    We are talking about energy on this thread, not the bigger picture. They need energy and the left says NO to them. That is where I am pissed. How can someone who knows that there is a way to make their day to day life in a third world country easier not want that. To stop malaria, aids, cholera, and many other diseases that they face daily and we never even think about. Take care of the little things and the big things take care of themselves.

    Character matters.

    Eghhh…sorry, no can do. I’ll be outside burning some kind of kick-ass bonfire that is going to be much bigger than it needs to be. I’ll be south of Pittsburgh. Maybe 2Hotel9 can let ya’ll know if he sees the smoke. It’s going to be big!

    I’m all about celebrating “Earth” hour.

  • atease

    Sorry Spartacus. I am a little edgy tonight. Pitt lost to Villanova.

  • Spartacus

    You want to talk about maintaining the planet and yet you tell the third world that they can not step into the light. And yet you call me ridiculous. When you come to the table with an idea that is not all touchy feely and actually does something, then we can talk.

    Shorter version: perhaps the third world doesn’t WANT to achieve what you have based upon their being okay with what they have and what they see you trying to cram down the throats of those around you.

    I’d say thanks, but no thanks too!

    Your side is alarmist. Oh, and by the way, if you capitalize You to start the sentence, God should also be capitalized.

    You want to talk about maintaining the planet and yet you tell the third world that they can not step into the light. And yet you call me ridiculous. When you come to the table with an idea that is not all touchy feely and actually does something, then we can talk. Until then, enjoy staying in the dark for an hour tonight because it is a metaphor for your entire existence.

  • 2Hotel9

    Way ahead of y’all!! We left around 11:00 AM and left everything on! Now firing up the grill, and going to get the wood burner going. Gonna be in the 40s tonight!

  • dawneyr

    Lights will be on here. I don’t appreciate people using a lot of money and media to threaten American industry and manipulate our youth into thinking that freedom and prosperity are selfishness and that America must be remade in the image of Godless communism. It makes me disgusted at their arrogance and disrespect for the minds of our youth.

    I’m turning the heat up to “Hawaii”. Now where did I learn that from?

    FOLLOW-UP:

    My neighbor asked me what was going on last evening. I explained the situation and within 30 minutes 4 households were “celebrating” in the same manner!

    It almost ended in a ceremonial tire burning, but cooler heads (wives) prevailed…. ;-)

    Cap -n- Trade“, my A$$……….

  • Bat One

    …god [sic] forbid you consider maintaining the planet you and your kin possess…

    If you choose to care for the planet like some backyard vegetable garden, by all means do so. Just don’t expect everyone else to tithe in support of your Earth Mother devotionals.

  • atease

    Shorter version: perhaps the third world doesn’t WANT to achieve what you have based upon their being okay with what they have and what they see you trying to cram down the throats of those around you.

    I’d say thanks, but no thanks too!

    Now you just pissed me off. Show me a mother that does not want to provide her children with clean water and fresh food. You sit there all smug and shit and say something like that. You are an idiot.

    These folks in the third world are dying and your side says that they can not step up in class because it “might harm the planet” you pompous ass. They can’t get electricity to keep food longer than a few days, or to keep warm, or to educate themselves to see how f’ed up the liberals in this world are. They don’t have these opportunities because of folks like you. Look in the mirror tonight. Love yourself.

    Please make another comment to show your idiocy. You should have stayed in the dark as I originally recommended.

    atease

    One pissed off citizen.

    P.S. The difference between us is respect. One side has it for themselves only, the other for everyone.

  • sayanything-5371

    If liberals really truly believed in global warming they would stop driving cars, riding in airplanes and using any sort of electrical power.

    But, they don’t. They are hypocrites and liars only interested in control over EVERYTHING. They are like anally retentive children who never resolved their oedipus conflict.

  • sayanything-5371

    Odd that liberals profess to love the planet so much while endlessly pushing an agenda of a dystopian nightmare. I think they secretly love the idea of dystopia. They think North Korea is a Socialist Paradise. Liberalism really is a mental disorder.

  • 2Hotel9

    Spart makes a good point, and a nice example of ironic sarcasm as well.

    People in many 3rd world countries have been questioning the advisability of doing the things environazis are in their countries promoting. They are not stupid. Get the political cannibals off their backs and they could go on their merry!

    Look at Zimbabwe. All the people of Zimbabwe wanted was to be left alone to live their lives and build their homes, businesses, and farms. But oh, no! Uncle Bob had a “vision”, and the world has now seen what it was.

    And kids? The environmentally conscious crowd has the same “vision”. And they are working like busy little beavers to achieve it, worldwide.

  • welder4

    I wonder if they spent 20,000 gallons of jet fuel to arrive at what ever destination they were arriving at . the U.N Building saved $102.00 the hour they were off last year so we could just turn it off for all time and save almost $900,000 a year . after all we pay the bills at the UN building . the first estimate was $86,000.00 an hour but after some people writing them and complaining they came back with two more figures before releasing the correct one of $102.00 an hour , nothing like embellishment is there.We may joke around with this but Obama is poised to slam us with all kinds of charges on energy which will cause a real recession instead of the fake one we have now .

    nobody ever calls them on it. a tree hugger would live in downtown NYC. they all live in huge homes and have SECOND homes in areas that require great expense to access and maintain.

    Note to atease and Spartacus: you’re both on the same side. Spartacus was merely incorrectly interpreting and restating what atease said and both sides seem aimed as Rez and his ilk. Just saying that because your semi-exchange was confusing.

    atease is correct about the envirocalvinists. They want people to suffer because they think of man as completely fundamentally sinful and only through the environmentalists’ rulership can they hope at best for subsistence. Not surprisingly they have similar political beliefs as the population reduction idiots who go around preaching birth control and abortion and even outright sterilization and euthanasia for the third world.

    This is a better future for all mankind.

  • http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

    No bills Rez. I already paid the power bills and have the next month’s saved up. Since it is warmer, the energy I would have spent on the electric heaters can instead be used to keep every light, television, computer, monitor, etc. on. I also revved up the old chainsaw and ran the thing down.

    Fun times.
