Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation

#teaparty #aynrand #climatechange #agw
One thing worth mentioning as I forward this article on is that over the weekend the UN, and Democratic leaders are digging in their heals on global warming...still claiming global temperatures are going up tremendous amounts over a short periods of time and it will destroy the world....so the solution is of course more taxes and control over business.

From the UK Telegraph

Our hopelessly compromised scientific establishment cannot be allowed to get away with the Climategate whitewash, says Christopher Booker.

By Christopher Booker

A week after my colleague James Delingpole , on his Telegraph blog, coined the term "Climategate" to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed.

The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Professor Philip Jones, the CRU's director, is in charge of the two key sets of data used by the IPCC to draw up its reports. Through its link to the Hadley Centre, part of the UK Met Office, which selects most of the IPCC's key scientific contributors, his global temperature record is the most important of the four sets of temperature data on which the IPCC and governments rely – not least for their predictions that the world will warm to catastrophic levels unless trillions of dollars are spent to avert it.

Dr Jones is also a key part of the closely knit group of American and British scientists responsible for promoting that picture of world temperatures conveyed by Michael Mann's "hockey stick" graph which 10 years ago turned climate history on its head by showing that, after 1,000 years of decline, global temperatures have recently shot up to their highest level in recorded history.

The Competing Narratives Of Sarah and Barry

#palin #obama #goingrogue #atlasshrugged
Great piece illustrating the difference between Barry Barack Obama and Sarah (Heath) Palin. A must read. As I read this I could not help but think that I am living in the novel Atlas Shrugged where all that makes sense, is reason is not in control anymore.

Here are some excerpts;

Each would change names before reaching the national stage. Barry Obama would become Barry Soetero, and then Barack Obama. Sarah Heath would become Sarah Palin after eloping with the formidable Todd Palin. Obama would chronicle his journey in the 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father and the 2006 sequel, The Audacity of Hope. Palin would chronicle hers in the 2009 memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life.

How the literary/media establishment would respond to the respective memoirs of these two political figures would reveal far less about the authenticity, honesty, and literary quality of the tales the authors told than it would about the collective mindset of that establishment.

....
The story told in Dreams will become a huge bestseller in the wake of the 2004 convention. The lofty, lyrical style of the book will seal the Ivy-educated Obama's reputation as a genius, and its much-celebrated narrative would serve as a foundational myth for Obama's ascent to the White House.

Said NEA chairman Rocco Landesman just last month, reiterating the accepted wisdom of the chattering classes, "This is the first president that actually writes his own books since Teddy Roosevelt and arguably the first to write them really well since Lincoln."

The establishment will not be so kind to Palin. In the week of Going Rogue's release, the New York Times house conservative David Brooks will call her "a joke." Dick Cavett, the Norma Desmond of TV talk, will dismiss her as a "know-nothing." Ex-con Dem fundraiser Martha Stewart will brand Palin "a dangerous person." And literally thousands of lesser liberal lights will deride her as "stupid," an "idiot," or a "moron" (8.5 million Google hits and counting for "Palin" "moron").

In that same week, Chris Matthews was worrying out loud that Obama was "too darned intellectual," and author Michael Eric Dyson was celebrating Obama's "sexy brilliance." But while the Associated Press was sending a platoon of reporters to fact-check Palin's book, neither the AP nor any other media outlet dared check either Dreams or Audacity of Hope.

If Progressives Want to Fundementally Change America, they need to be honest and amend the Constitution


The
The American Thinker has some suggestions. #tcot #teaparty #constitution #liberal
Article I, section 8 of the Constitution is hereby repealed. Article I, section 8 shall now read: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States and the citizens of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."

Progressives should feel free to leave in the italics so the message is clear. The words in italics are not in the Constitution as it is now written.

Let's move on to the Bill of Rights.

Progressives have been ignoring the actual words of the Constitution and have focused on one obscure line in a letter from Thomas Jefferson instead. (That's where the "wall of separation" comes from.) So the first clause of the First Amendment of our new progressive Constitution should be amended to read:
Congress shall build a wall of separation between church and state.
It is crystal clear from the dissenting opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller that progressives do not believe that the Second Amendment provides the individual citizen of the United States a right to bear arms. (By the way, they are wrong about this.) Wrong or right, this one is easy to fix:
The Second Amendment to the Constitution is hereby repealed.

In keeping with this utopian attitude (the Kelo Decision), the new "taking clause" of the Fifth Amendment should read:

... private property may be taken for any purpose whatsoever, with just compensation.

The Ninth Amendment essentially says that the rights specifically granted (“enumerated”) to the central government in the Constitution do not “disparage” or “deny” the rights reserved by the people. The Tenth Amendment makes it clear that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government ("the United States") belong to the individual states and the people. That’s not progressive.

Easily remedied with one amendment:

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution are hereby repealed. READ THE ENTIRE PIECE.

SEALS Bloody the Lip of Terrorist Murderer and Face Charges

#gwot #SEAL #Navy #tcot #liberalLunacy
Having just read Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell I understand full well what it costs our brave men and women fighting for us to have to filter every decision through wondering if they are going to face charges for doing their job. Luttrell watched his 3 buddies die because they were afraid to shoot or detain what appeared to be a couple of sheep herders who they knew were spies.

When they turned out to be a spies, the SEAL team was attacked by over 200 Taliban within 2 hours of letting the spies go.

The 4 SEALS killed nearly half of their attackers but then were overwhelmed by the terrain and the Taliban horde. This can be understood to some degree, you can't just waste anyone you think is a spy, but the SEALS now facing charges of assault should get a medal, not a trial.

Why should we expect our fighting men and women to want to join the military if we are going to second guess every move they make in the fog of war. Bottom line is we don't trust our sons and daughters to do the right thing....but we should.

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it. READ THE REST at FoxNews.

Weekend News - GOP targets Ritter with singular candidate

#tcot #redco #mcinnis #colorado
In what could be a winning strategy for other races, Colorado GOP primary candidates decide to drop fighting other Republicans and decide to focus on the real enemy....overspending, over taxation, and government control over freedom. This is a smart move by the Republicans and could very well work. It really is all we are looking for in a leader.

Ritter appeared on Television yesterday already on the defensive and sounding very much like a whiny name caller . He would have done better to ignore the hoopla.

Obama may have been able to get away with saying the GOP is just politics of the past, but Ritter won't, not without some substance to back up his claims. He has not the charisma, nor the star power of "the One." If Ritter said " We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek" he would sound like an idiot.....now that you mention it, so did the originator of that quote, but people don't hold him to a very high standard.

GOP rallies behind McInnis for Colo. governor

DENVER - Scott McInnis will receive the endorsement of a past challenger and one who toyed with challenging him on Monday morning at an event designed to bring Colorado's Republicans together in an effort to win the Governor's Mansion next year.value="opaque">State Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry (R-Grand Junction) and former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) will support McInnis, who will embrace what's being called a "Contract with Colorado" that outlines a series of conservative principles.

The group will be joined by former Gov. Bill Owens (R-Colorado) and the State House Minority Leader Mike May (R-Parker) at a business in Northeast Denver. The gathering is the result of efforts by Penry to put past personality and policy issues aside between his former boss, McInnis, and some of the state's leading Republicans.

Obama decides not to close GITMO- apparently it's full of terrorists

#tcot #gwot via Yahoo news hat tip Hot Air blog

President Barack Obama is now confirming what many have long suspected: He will miss his January deadline to close the Guantanamo prison — partly because he cannot persuade other nations to take the detainees.

Prisoners like Walid Abu Hijazi. The 29-year-old Palestinian is nearing his eighth year at Guantanamo even though the U.S. approved his release in February 2008. No one else has been willing to allow him, or dozens of others, into their territory.

This dilemma is one of the chief obstacles to closing the jail, according to lawyers and human rights groups who monitor U.S. detention policy. Most say Washington bears the main blame because it also refuses to accept prisoners on American soil.

“It’s very difficult to persuade third countries to accept the political or security risks involved, especially when the United States has been unwilling to accept that risk itself,” said Matthew Waxman, a professor at Columbia Law School. READ THE REST at Yahoo news

Good News Friday - Prager

#tcot #redco #teaparty #liberal #conservative
Dennis Prager brings a ray of sunshine in the window while most conservatives are preaching a depressing outlook. I agree with his optimism here, I think there are enough smart people in this country that IF..IF ...IF they are paying attention this may be the last hurrah for the lefties for a very long time. I believe the left has that fear too, which is why they are attempting to pass every left wing agenda item in their Marx inspired playbook right now.

There may be a major silver lining for conservatives and for America's future thanks to the foreign and domestic policies of President Obama and the Democrat-controlled House and Senate: For the first time in their lives, millions of Americans are coming to understand the left.

It is difficult to overstate how important this is. For decades, the left has largely controlled the news media, the arts, the universities and the entertainment media. And vast numbers of Americans have imbibed these leftist messages and the leftist critiques of conservatives. What these Americans have never been able to do is to see what the left would actually do if in power.

Of course, all one had to do was look at California and see how a left-wing legislature brought the country's largest state economy to near insolvency and bankruptcy, chased away many of its most productive citizens, and wasted tens of billions of dollars thanks in large measure to union domination of the state's politics.

But most Americans do not observe other states. Most Americans are preoccupied with their lives READ THE REST

Democrats Changing Their Tune About Bush-Cheney

Interesting article from a self described Gay Hillary supporting group from Chicago "comes out" this week that they were wrong, dead wrong about GW, Dick Cheney and Laura Bush.

Thank you former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush

We know absolutely no one in Bush family circles and have never met former President George W. Bush or his wife Laura.

If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of “Dubya” nearly every day…parroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is still, to this day, lampooned as a chimp, a bumbling idiot, and a poor, clumsy public speaker.

Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.

We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster. President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it. ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.

Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11.

What is the Real National Debt? 56.4 Trillion

Information from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation #teaparty #debt #socialism

"How exactly does a $56.4 trillion bill add up?" you ask. We know that the federal government carries both publicly held debt and debt for money it has borrowed from itself. Together, these sums are closing in on $11 trillion. This is the figure most commonly cited as our "national debt," but actually, that's only the start of the REAL national debt.

Right now, you are carrying a burden of about $184,000. That is each and every American's share of the US government's approximated $56.4 trillion in current obligations. And every year in which no down payments or reforms are made to these obligations, the total grows by $2 trillion to $3 trillion – or $6,600 to $10,000 per person – on autopilot.

How exactly does this $56.4 trillion bill add up? First, there are the federal government's known liabilities that it is legally obliged to fulfill. These include publicly held debt, military and civilian pensions and retiree health benefits. As of September 30, 2008, these liabilities added up to $13.5 trillion.

Then there are various commitments and contingencies – i.e., contractual requirements that the government is expected to fulfill when, and if specified conditions are met. These include federal insurance payouts, loan guarantees, and leases. As of September 30, 2008, they added up to $1.4 trillion.

So where does the remaining $43 trillion or so come from? That's what the government has promised to pay in Social Security and Medicare benefits in excess of related revenues. As of January 1, 2008, current and promised future Social Security benefits amounted to $6.6 trillion. And between Medicare's three programs (hospital insurance, outpatient, and prescription drug), current and future promised Medicare benefits amounted to $36.3 trillion.

Keep in mind that although people rely on the promise of these benefits, the government can – and does – change these programs in ways that increase or decrease the value of the expected benefits, which has the effect of expanding or shrinking the total amount of obligations. Such changes can be made to the size of payroll tax contributions, cost-of-living adjustments, beneficiary premiums, eligibility ages and benefit levels, among other examples.

That’s how you get to $56.4 trillion. And remember: every year in which no down payments or reforms are made to any of the obligations above, this total grows by $2 trillion to $3 trillion.

Stick with www.pgpf.org to keep track of how much you owe.

SOURCE: 2008 Financial Report of the United States Government. Social Security and Medicare benefits are present values as of January 1, 2008. Burden per person calculated using estimated December 2008 US Census Bureau data. Other data as of September 30, 2008.

Gorki Aquila on LIfe as a Musician in Cuba

This day and age it's hard to find people under the age of 30 who really know what communism and socialism really is. Not only do communist countries keep information out, they also keep it in so this video is a rare modern look into life in Cuba for a man who wants to be free to play music.

Now that we have an administration who seems to embrace in many ways the leadership of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez calling them"democratic leaders" (I've heard some cabinet officials call them that), it seems to further legitimize dictatorial socialist leadership. While Bush may have been sending us towards socialism on a scooter, our current administration has strapped us into a rocket.

Billions Spent on Anti-Terrorism and inter-departmental intel sharing and still no information sharing in this case....heads should roll. Policies need to change. The previous administration may be just as much to blame.

This however could be Barack Obama's epic fail. Remember when Carter failed to rescue the hostages and service members died? Not his fault but still he paid a heavy price. This one happened under Obama's watch.

A Defense official says the FBI and anti-terrorism teams never shared information about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's contact with a radical Yemeni imam. President Obama has ordered a review.

Reporting from Washington - Two high-profile anti-terrorism task forces did not inform the Defense Department about contacts between a radical Islamic cleric and the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in last week's rampage at Ft. Hood, a senior Defense official said Tuesday.

On the day of a memorial service for those killed at the Texas military base, the revelation compounded questions about whether the government had known enough in advance to stop the gunman.

The FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Forces investigated e-mails that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sent over the last year to Anwar al Awlaki, an imam in Yemen who espouses a radical Islamist ideology and who has ties to militants. Read the rest at the LA Times

Updates on the shooting at Fort Hood - opinion of a serviceman

#muslim #tcot #redco #teaparty
Lots of bad journalism yesterday and I fell into it too. CORRECTIONs; He was a lifelong Muslim not a recent convert. And he survived. Reports yesterday were that he was killed.

Fox has the latest HERE

My personal opinion is he freaked because he was about to be deployed (even though that is part of being in the military and everyone knows it.) OR he was a devout follower of Mohammad and felt he was serving his fake god by killing American Soldiers. ...I don't know which. It is harder for me to believe the first one than the second.

Lots of question are being asked about how this could happen. A couple of answers; Base security (which is a civilian contractor in most cases now) don't search your car when you go in. They check your ID and your car for proper tags. Base MP's do search some cars randomly with Dogs.

I can imagine that when I have to go on base again in a couple weeks its going to be a long line and I'll need to give myself a lot of extra time that morning. I never liked that they are tying to save money and personnel by hiring security guards...I have a very low opinion of security guards and I have many stories as to why.

Not much detail yet. Lt. Gen Bob Cone said at a news conference that one shooter has been killed and two suspects were apprehended on Thursday. He says they are all U.S. soldiers.

The shooting began around 1:30 p.m. Cone says that all the casualties took place at the base's Soldier Readiness Center where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening.

He says the primary shooter used two handguns in the attack.


Unconfirmed but heard from media source; the soldier who killed 12 and wounded 31 at ft. hood is Major Malik Nadal Hassan, a recent convert to Islam.

#tcot #redco #teaparty #libertarian #independent

I work for the DOD as a part time employee (occasionally full time if I am deployed), and it is one of the least corrupt organizations in the government because of the Military involvement at all levels...but it has big problems that have always been there and probably always will be.

We have contractors who rip us off, we have incompetence at all levels. It takes twice as many (or more) employees to do a job than in the civilian world. We have attitude problems at all levels that could get you fired from most jobs....but of course you can't fire someone in the military very easily.

Most (not all) government employees at the office level I would not hire for a civilian job, they don't understand what it takes to knuckle under, bear down, cut expenses, work overtime, changes plans on the fly, meet a payroll without an endless supply of money or get fired for not meeting certain standards. Not all government employees are bad, but most have a mindset that would need to be flushed. Government contractors I work with are 10 times better because they work for a company that expects results, or you'll be unemployed.
  • The U..S. Post Service was established in 1775 they've had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • Social Security was established in 1935. They've had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • Fannie Mae was established in 1938. They have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
  • Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
  • Freddie Mac was established in 1970. They have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

The Federal Government has FAILED in every "government service" they have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars AND NOW THEY WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE THEY WILL GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME!
