Ralph Nader wasn’t always a creep with a wack-job agenda. He once made a little sense, back before he was scamming all the money he could from college kids through PIRGs. He was exposing just how unsafe cars were. He was right on some key things: Seat belts matter, and not having the whole car covered in blinding chrome matters. That’s true not just for the driver but for the drivers around him. Glare is glare, especially in environments like southern California.
Well, now some idiots here in California want to reverse that with a “Cool Cars” mandate, which would require cars again to be covered in reflective surfaces. Even worse, by coating the windows with a metallic reflectant, cars would be come more effective as Faraday cages, blocking wireless communications. What a luddite-friendly and safety-diminishing step backwards for California (and America, if this takes off)!
We’ve got to expose how terrible this idea is. Fortunately, we have Rush Limbaugh on the case.
Even if we took the left at face value, and from top to bottom we know we can’t ignore the socialist agenda there, would we want to implement their Net Neutrality policies? Richard Epstein says no. Unsurprisingly, investigation shows that research, development, creativity, and innovation depend on the basic freedom that true property rights allow.
We cannot allow Julius Genachowski, Barack Obama, Free Press, and the left to stagnate the Internet in America.
As most of us watch the special election in New York, we still have a Senate primary in California to deal with. It’s the same old story, though. There are two kinds of Republicans.
One kind celebrates big government and progressive control over America. Carly Fiorina, like Dede Scozzafava, is one of those.
While some of us are fighting hard against the Obama push to nationalize the Internet, Fiorina goes behind our backs and joins them, just as Scozzafava will work with ACORN and Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Chuck DeVore knows the score and endorses Doug Hoffman.
There are two kinds of Republicans. Some are on our side. Some are more interested in the left. I know which I prefer to represent our party.
