Thanks Captain Planet, I guess?

Well with earth day gone buy I had the perfect chance to watch some Captain Planet on the Captain Planet marathon on Boomerang. What else can I say but that its like a liberal fantasy, were the evil polluting villains are the conservatives, and the ego friendly planetiers are the wonderful liberals with their earth saving knowledge. They even support homosexuality with their trusted green haired, blue skin red underwear wearing hero Captain Planet.

Now of course that was just a joke, and not really related to the topic. Granted I would love to point out liberal problems of the show, but I would rather focus on the main "lie" of the show. This "lie" I guess you could say is more of a explaination without being entirly true. What I'm talking about is the supposed fact that greenhouse gasses are the cause of global warming, which is a load of crap. That being said I do believe we need to lower our carbon footprint, but not for planet warming reasons, rather making our air clean to breath reasons.

The point I'm over all getting to is the fact that we have been leaving our last Ice Age for the past ten thousand years or so since its end. Meaning that our planet since then has been naturally getting warmer. Meaning that green houses are not the blame. Its just the natural pattern of what you could call and earth cycle. Every so often the world freezes over, then thaws back to a warm, and oftenly tropical state. If green house gasses were to blame we would need to seriously kill off a lot of cows, and plug up a lot of volcanoes, because those two alone produce more green house gasses than we humans do.

With that said I think we still need to use our oil, and coal, and let our companies and economy grow. Because then with a good company, and some good economic times, and an increase in better technology we can one day thrive off of clean energy. So as Captain Planet would say "Listen to the Facts." Just as long as they don't come from him. Unless its stuff like recycle, and clean up you car fluids and such, which we already know so just what ever.

Don't believe the polititions? Beleive the FBI.

While sitting and listening to general conference I began to do some snooping around the FBI site just for fun. I put "gun stats" in search box. What I came up with I found rather interesting. A table with homicide data starting in 2007 and going to 2011, as many of their carts and table do. I will admit that the cause of the most homicides was indeed fire arms, but that's not what caught my eye. It was which type of fire arm that was used most.

The way liberals talk you would think it was assault rifles styled weapons. What intrigues me the most is that is of course not true. In truth the number of hand gun homicides in 2007 is a good 3000 deaths more than then rifles Note there is no assault rifles section on the list. As a son of a cop my father has told me before that the most common form of fire arm used against law enforcement in shoot outs is in fact handguns, because the are easy to be hidden, and in the case of gangs are easy to obtain off the black market.

I also noticed that the number of murders went down substantially over the years to 2011. The only one that rose up to the highest of the list was poisoning, which reached a high of 11. But in general muders went down in those years. Why you may ask? Well it sure as hell wasnt gun control I'll tell you that much. If anything the election of our pathetic excuse of a present helped seal that with the massive amount of fire arms purchased afterwards. A coincidence? I think not.

I don't see why the liberals are so obsessed with banning assault rifle like weapons. if anything the could at least make themselves look smarter by trying to ban handguns, which would be just as bad if not worse. I also think these stats speak for themselves.Note I do not think all liberals are idiots. Why else would murder go down if guns sale were not up? I can't think of anything.

See for yourself.
