Mangled Thoughts

While content to jab his finger at leftists for advancing ruinous propositions, Tim is strangely silent when his Rightwing pals do the same. He hasn’t caned Bolt over the ethanol swindle. Funnier is, when he attacks leftists over another criminal fraud, he doesn’t mention that his Rightwing pals also back it to the hilt. No hint of even a gimcrack, and here is Mr. Blair in action:

WORLD COOLING ON WARMING
“The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing countries,” writes Mark Steyn…

Another enviroscam may cause hardship locally:

The other ‘environscam’ Tim Blair refers to is carbon taxes, in the form of carbon credit trading.

He links an article dedicated to one consequence of carbon taxes that Mr. Jackson, and others have dealt with. However, the article ignores the full appalling force of carbon taxes. It is the destruction of capital, thus the destruction of production, and this means the immiseration of Australians.

There is no point in worrying about the impact of the tax on lower-income families. They won’t have an income to be taxed. Their pay will be smashed and wiped out altogether because the source of income, capital and capital accumulation has been wiped out.

Blair is silent on his Rightwing mates, who have pushed for carbon taxes. They are rightwing Liberal Party (ex-) MPs, and his pals in the CIS and the IPA. Despite Moran’s paper, the IPA still published the Davidson-Berg paper that slips in advocacy of carbon taxes. The IPA has a collection of papers on the theme of how Kyoto compliant ‘regulations” - in effect carbon taxes, might be imposed the ‘right way’.

Blair is totally silent on the fact his friends, John Humphreys and Jason Soon are pushing hard for carbon taxes, and that their position is the position of the CIS. He is completely silent on his pals’ “case” for carbon taxes is the case the Rudd Cabinet is using to justify the demolition of capital and the immiseration of millions of Australians.

Soon and his pals advocate capital destruction on a hideous scale through carbon taxes. They then have the hide to tell Australians, “but you will to still be well off, and even do better, because fatuous, ruinous fantasies called ‘alternative’ energy will plug the gaping holes they have blown into the hull of the ship HMAS Economics.” How bright are they Tim? What about you Tim?

After all, your pals are advocating what you are ostensibly attacking, and why you linked that article in The “Spencer Street Soviet” Age. Will you be consistent and hit them too? Face it Tim, they are pushing hot red Green measures, hardcore leftist measures, and they claim to be fighting the Left defending free markets, and defending Liberty, truth and all good things.

You, Tim Blair, while you jab the Left, don’t have the spine to face up to the treacherous Right

I have challenged Mr. Blair to get serious, or stick to the subject he is expert in, motor cars. One aspect of getting serious is facing up the fact his Rightwing pals are as rottenas as the treacherous as the Left.
