Title: limo liberals

| We’ve all known this for a while now. When limosine liberals - that is, those who preach that the end of the world is nigh because us SUV driving, meat eating, flat screen watching, over consuming, uncaring rubes just won’t change our lives and start riding bicycles and digging for roots and berries so as not to further offend Mother Gaia while they live like royalty - they mean us, not them. They’re not about to give up their lifestyles. That’s for us peasants. Al Gore, the Clown Prince of the global warming movement, lives in a palace that would make Caligula blush and that uses more energy than a small town. But that, of course, doesn’t matter. You need to cut back on your electricity or we’ll all die horrid deaths in a flooded and drought stricken (!) world. And now we have another very clear example of the liberal “I meant you” hypocrisy when it comes to that whole carbon footprint thing. It seems that film maker Franny Armstrong has produced yet another dire warning called The Age of Stupid that tells us all how we’re being irresponsible. They tell us that aside from forest fires flying is the most evil thing we can do. Carbon emissions, you see. So Phelim MacAleer and Ann MacIlhinney from over at Big Hollywood decided to get themselves some press credentials and ask the film maker just how much they’ve cut back on their own flying footprint. The result? They get physically thrown out of the press conference: I had been told that Franny Armstrong “The Age of Stupid’s” director, had been careful whilst making the film but has been on a massive flying binge promoting the documentary. Then there were the rest of the celebrity supporters such as Kofi Annan, the head of the UN, Mary Robinson, the former Irish President, actresses Gillian Anderson and Heather Graham and Moby who is apparently a famous DJ. Are they making the sacrifices they demand be enforced on the people of the developing world? Unfortunately there seems to be one thing environmentalists dislike more than flying and that is hard questions about their own flying habits. After a few questions which revealed that none of those at the premiere had the slightest intention of living up to the standards they demand of others the film makers decided they didn’t want to be accountable. Along with their security guards they manhandled me and and forced me of the press deck despite having given me accreditation to be there. I didn’t realise press accreditation now comes with provisos that you are not allowed to ask awkward questions of environmental activists and their celebrity supporters. They then used their security team to block my camera. How dare they ask questions of the elite? Impudent peasants. Just bow down to the environmentalists and worship them, peasants, for they are mighty and righteous. Well, self righteous, anyway. Besides, Moby was there. Be still my heart. If the issue is important enough to have the Amazing Moby behind it, it must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the, uh, er….... |

No one is worried about you contributing to Global Warming... you're stuck at home in your wheel chair while your elderly parents suffer quietly.

If a rapist tells you not to rape someone, do you feel the need to rape?
