Fair Debate! Are You Nuts?

They don't dare make their case in public because they can’t. They can't argue it.  It's why they fail anywhere where they don't dominate. It's why they refuse to go on Fox!  There is no alternative to liberalism.  They refuse to acknowledge it.  They are the ones trying to censor. They're the ones trying to indoctrinate.

Liberalism is a Fallacy...

16 fall.pngLiberalism, is a fallacy of privilege without responsibility, honor without character, ethics without standards, it is a complete wash of decency, and morality. Although some of the strong basis of what once was the Democratic party have now just become their desperate hold upon the sentimentalities, fears, and an exposed political agenda that is focused strictly upon control, which oddly enough through their supposedly high ethics of civil liberties, and their questioning of authority have become the very thing that they used to stand against. Now instead of truly representing and fighting for equality, and or balanced respect amongst people, they have gone to the point where they are forcing their opinions, their ideals, and their lack of moral and ethical responsibility upon the American people.

In a liberal’s mind, there is no argument, nothing can be said that opposes their beliefs.  There is no opposition worthy of their intellectual engagement.

Welfare:Created to help those in times of financial hardship and duress, now16 wel.png draining the American people's tax dollars and creating a burden upon the American working class to support a failed system that now has produced generations of people that use welfare not as a system to help when times are tough, but as an excuse to never stand up and take responsibility for their own lives. SO now we have generations of people reliant upon the government rather than their own dignity and taking responsibility as human beings over their own lives.

This is exactly what has happened in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.  

16 tol.pngTolerance: Tolerance? What measuring tool is used in determining what is considered tolerant? Is tolerance based upon mutual respect? Is tolerance based upon some standards and guidelines upon which a person or people may be shown leniency because they express and exhibit a sincere desire and have taken action to change certain aspects of the area in which we must consider and possibly "show" tolerance?The liberal's idea of tolerance simply stands in the cloudy mystical realm of their fleeting emotions, and the instability of their lack of proper values and principle, that would dictate a clear sense of right and wrong. They mask this moral insecurity as "tolerance".

Tolerance to a liberal is defined by expediency for their wishes, thoughts and…what can we gain from this?…moral values are certainly not present.

Anti-War/Peace movement: You cannot have peace with incorrigibly malignant16 blind.png leadership whom has access to resources to bring their tyranny to the peoples and nations of the world. In fact for the cause of peace there are times where one must go to war, when one must take the life (lives) of the ones which are determined to continue to infringe upon the rights of its people, to terrorize or support any activity in which endangers the lives and well being of peoples of the world. War comes solely upon the basis that one must stand up for what is right in this world despite what the costs may be. War comes from the belief that we must do what is right. War is the necessary expression and extension of the strength of our character and the fortitude of our beliefs. The liberal anti-war mentality is not based upon ethics, it is not based upon values, and it is not based upon their adherence to any standard of principle that would dictate a deep sense and sensibility in their conscience of right and wrong. Because if that were the case they would have a clarity about the reality of the role of the American people and the nation as a whole, and the belief that freedom is not just a luxury that we can keep to ourselves, not just a way of life for American people, but truly if we believe in the principles that forged this great nation and lead us to become the greatest of nations, then we must believe that all men are created equal under God, and all men are entitled to the rights of a free people. The very mention of this anti-war mentality hints at an ignorance that is represented and acted out only by a weak hearted people that lack courage and conviction.

They don't understand it.  We are just mind-numbed robots. We are idiots. You're just like everybody else that's not a liberal. You really don't even exist!  You're just a hayseed hick, a southern Christian or what have you. Rosie and Mayer exude these thoughts to us daily.

16 f lib.pngThe continued malignancy of the liberal Democratic parties failure to adhere to proper moral and ethical standards, and truth. I too have been mulling over all of these things, wondering if America will survive, whether the liberal embracing of anti-Americanism and their favoring of failed socialistic ideology, as well as the fact of the liberal movement's relentless pursuit of stripping and stealing away of the freedoms of the American people under their guise of civil liberties, and the "separation of church and state", which in itself is a completely selfish and ignorant pursuit that infringes upon the first amendment rights of the American people, blatantly creating animosity against Christianity and anyone who stands up for any sense of morality and ethical and moral standards, and has allowed the biased violation of our national heritage, by continuing to attempt to remove and strip away any representation of our Judeo-Christian roots which are the basis of our entire governmental system from our judicial branch to our legislative branch to our executive branch. The selfish indignant motivations supported and perpetuated by the liberals has even gone so far as to think that they have the right to, based upon their own first amendment rights, infringe upon the rest of American's constitutional rights and have been systematically attacking and demanding the removal of the ten commandments, as well as, other representations of our national history and heritage from our national landmarks, schools, communities, and even to the point of demanding the removal of some of our war memorials, erected to honor the men and women who fought and died to preserve freedom in this country, because of their ironic INTOLERANCE of our Judeo-Christian heritage, system of justice, system of values, and faith.

The Liberal/Islamist War Against America

13 lib war.pngWhen Americans arrive at the place where they are too overwhelmed to even express dismay at any one particular outrage being perpetrated by the Democrats, it is time to step back and examine the "bigger picture." In the wake of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to the Middle East, America clearly finds itself at just such a juncture. Some have indeed chastised Pelosi, and their criticism was quickly deflected by her Democrat cohorts as mere expressions of "partisanship." Thus her defenders have united themselves with her seditious behavior.

Partisanship? In a p!g’s a$$!  Her behavior was unconstitutional and traitorous. The hate-America Democrats and Islamists are indeed allies against America.  Why are the Republicans so silent and say nothing?
                                                                                                                                            13 unholy.png

Furthermore, the common ground shared with Islamists in their malevolence towards America, and the various resulting schemes of both groups to wage war against the "great Satan," are extremely revealing as to their ultimate motivation. Pelosi’s latest escapade, along with several other events of the past few days, give ample evidence of the deep-seated alliance that has emerged between the American left and the Islamists. In keeping with President Bush’s September 20, 2001 speech in which he informed the world that it is "either with us or against us," the actions, words, and loyalties of Pelosi and her comrades during the past week clearly show them to be participants in an effort to wear down and eventually eradicate the bedrock of traditional America. Strong words perhaps, but supported at every step by the facts.

Their actions are part of the Democ’rat’s strategy of incrementally changing our system of government into a Marxist/Socialist state. 

Consider the scandalous behavior of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D.-MD). Though overshadowed by Pelosi’s clumsy collaboration with terrorist dictator Bashar Assad of Syria, Hoyer’s concurrent "bridge building" with terrorist kingpins in Egypt is no less illustrative of the real affinities and allegiances of the Democrats. Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, who openly supports the terrorist organization Hamas, met with Hoyer in Cairo Egypt this past week, and claimed afterwards that he and Hoyer engaged in a "high profile meeting," by which he hoped to "gain more supporters" for a dialogue with the terrorists if Democrats win in 2008.

Hoyer’s actions clearly demonstrate that Democrats are openly allied with the Islamist terrorists as supporters, in quest of gaining a win in the 2008 elections.  They care not a whit about national security and are rooting for an American defeat to enhance their chances for gaining power.  The Democrats are rotten to the core.

To date, Democrats have barely been held accountable for their consistently anti-American agenda. Worse still is the Republican timidity that allows those on the left to avoid political fallout. Primarily, Democrats are able to avert condemnation by accusing those on the right who question their motives as challenging their "patriotism." One can only hope that the day will arrive when prominent conservative voices will confidently reply, "When your words, actions, and end game become indistinguishable from those of Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda, it is high time to not merely challenge your patriotism, but to refute it.”

The Democrats ideology whose leaders believe in their own inherent intellectual, moral and spiritual supremacy currently benefit from a collaborative effort with Islamists to tear down the strongholds of American tradition and its Judeo-Christian roots.

On that awful day in September of 2001, the horrific shower of burning metal and debris from the collapsing towers made no distinctions as it rained down with equal ferocity on innocent Americans from across the political spectrum. Nor will any such distinctions be made the next time America is attacked. Only then might liberals fully comprehend the grim truth that real America already understands about them. From the onset of the terror war, the left has epitomized Lenin’s characterization of "useful idiots."

Islams Vision

The Israeli flag was inspired by the tallit (the prayer shawl with the blue stripes worn by Jews during prayer) as a symbol. The Star of David is a common symbol of the People of Israel from biblical times. The flag was adopted officially on October 28, 1948.

The Hezbollah flag shows and AK-47 above the whole globe. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution, the party has tried to transform Lebanon's multi-confessional state into an Iranian-style Islamic state.

11 flags people.png
The "Religion of Peace" uses AK-47s for its rituals...along with a picture of a muslim "Loving Family." The Western countries continue in their misguided attempts to appease and negotiate with purveyors of mayhem, chaos and killing. All terrorists are muslims and all muslims are supporters of the terrorists. There is only one effective way of dealing with them...KILL them in their mosques where the terror is preached, KILL them in their homes, KILL them at their demonstrations...destroy their entire culture.

That is how the Japanese empire and Hitler's Nazis were dealt with and it worked. A majority of Americans today are just total wimps...the Greatest Generation must be resting very uneasily in their graves.

What is Intellectual Insanity?

9 moonbat.png Insanity has become a national pastime. All one has to do to verify this claim is watch daytime television and the TV evening news, read the daily newspapers, the weekly tabloids, and the news magazines, listen to talk radio and the rantings of politicians on C-Span, or get into a debate at a cocktail party. Insanity is all around us. It's permeated the Halls of Congress and the Halls of Justice. It's been traveling rapidly across the country from shore to shore, border to border, and even to Hawaii and Alaska.
Americans have become so self-absorbed in entertainment, celebrity worship, instant gratification, sex and violence that traditional values and morals have lost all importance.  In this age where we are constantly subjected to information that is totally irrelevant and frivolous in most cases, our entire social structure is on a verge of collapse.  As we continue down this path, it is inevitable that we will go the way of the Roman empire and cease to exist, not from military force, it is  intellectual insanity that will conquer us.

Insanity has become contagious and is even affecting the youngest residents of our nation. It is dividing the country into parochial groups of narrow-minded citizens, establishing hate, anger, and bigotry as the ordinary sentiments of daily life, causing uncivil behaviors to be the acceptable form of debate, and creating and implementing absolutely ridiculous sociopolitical policies which are nothing short of insane. Insanity, while spreading rapidly across America during the past thirty years or so, can be stopped. There is a cure, an antidote, a means of treatment. It's not easy to get back to sanity today, but it can be done.

What Is Insanity?

The first thing we need to do is make sure each one of us understands exactly what we're talking about here. The mark of a good debater used to be that he or she defines the terms to be used in the debate right up front. I realize that today it is acceptable to change the meanings of words throughout a debate so as to confuse the opposition (and yourself, as well), but I try to be a strict word-freak and firmly believe that words have consequences and are a powerful tool (or weapon, if you prefer). Also, this phenomenon of constantly using the same words in different ways to confuse the issue being debated is one of the symptoms of the insanity we'll be discussing.

Therefore, in due consideration of what I've just said, I want to give you the definition of insanity that is common to the general dictionary most of us use.

in-san-i-ty: 1. the state of being insane; mental illness or derangement, usually excluding amentia; not a scientific term; specif., Law any form or degree of mental derangement or unsoundness of mind, permanent or temporary, that makes a person incapable of what is regarded legally as normal, rational conduct or judgment. 2. great folly; extreme senselessness.

I suggest that: 2. great folly; senselessness is the condition affecting all of society today.

This is so you'll know that this is not the way we're going to use the word "insanity," strictly speaking. Most of this definition is acceptable but some of it is not. So let's tear into it and rip it apart.

Obviously, as the dictionary notes, insanity has to be the state of being insane. I hope the word "state" is not confusing to you as it is definitely not referring to the forty-eight contiguous used-to-be-sovereign "states" of the United States. Plus Hawaii and Alaska, of course. No, the word "state" in the definition refers to a condition, as the condition of being insane. The concept of "mental illness" in the definition we'll keep and understand it as a problem of the "mind," having to do with some "disease" of thinking.

You can scratch the word "amentia" which refers to a condition one is born with. That's not applicable here because no one is born insane in the sense to be used here. As I've already suggested, this insanity is generally "caught" from the environment; it is contagious. Actually, most people are born quite sane. Unfortunately, too many become insane as they grow up (or down, if you insist).

Liberals Want Peace at any Price or Consequences

9 rosie.pngEvan Sayet is an amazing political satirist. Other than by talent and nature being hilarious, he has a lot to say about how modern liberals actually think. In a recent speech at the Heritage Foundation, he covered just how they are put together. He pointed out in his talk that after several national wars, liberals have wanted to avoid conflict and war at any price. Their answer for that is mindless indiscriminateness. If there are no right or wrongs, good or evil in the world and anything to take a stand on then there can be no fighting, terrorists or wars.

Evan's talk hit me between the eyes. Don't we see this unfolding in our country?  Negotiation is very nice but usually after the killing and threats have stopped. You don't negotiate when Ted Bundy is slitting a throat!

Nancy Pelosi has been in Syria talking appeasement and peace coming for them when they have openly been supporting the terrorist groups that have sworn to kill us.  There can be no question or doubt that they have been sending insurgents to kill our troops in Irag for years.  Let’s not forget their sworn allegiance to destroy Israel.
We have seen the operational phase of liberal attacks on anyone who loves their country and dares not to be ashamed of being an American. "Bush is Hitler," "Terrorists are just mommies and daddies," "we are Islamophobics when we show fear of Islamic Arab men walking on planes and acting weird," "Those memorial crosses are offending the atheists," "New Jersey schools practicing responses to terrorist attacks against that dangerous crowd……Christians.”
New Jersey's Burlington Township School Superintendent Chris Manno said of a mock terrorist attack on the school and training session that “We need to practice under conditions as real as possible”. You would probably think that this mock drill would focus on terrorists attacking the school.
Well, you’d be wrong.

Were these “terrorists” that were attacking the school people with an actual track record of such activities?  Nope.  In Mr. Manno’s world these “terrorists” were none other than radical Christians!  Huh?  Did I miss something?
 

 

Apparently.

The premise of the mock attack was that these evil Christians were attacking the school because a student had been expelled for praying before class.  Call me crazy but if that is the scenario, shouldn’t the drill have been counseling for the liberal whiner that somehow thought it was ok to discriminate against the religious beliefs of a student and suppress the right of said student to freely practice his or her religion?

No, I guess not.  That wouldn’t fit the template I suppose.

Then there is the endless concern and discussion over the civil rights of illegal aliens as they break across our borders with drugs and collection of crimes to share with us. Law suits are flying, awards are going to the illegal crooks as our fine and brave border patrol agents go to prison for simply doing their jobs well!!!….. Agent Hernandez, Ramos, Campeon. The list is growing large, illegal alien thugs are growing rich and our country grows in denial!

More than twenty times as many deaths and injuries to Americans occur from rampant behaviors by illegal aliens than all the U.S. combat deaths and injuries in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Where is YOUR rage? When was the last time you heard that "news" from NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CSPAN, or any media outlet— anywhere ?

After all, we must do whatever we can to make it easier for foreign nationals to come here illegally and violently take out ten thousand American citizens every year, right? So much for the liberal’s cultural diversity!
The main thing to think about for the liberals is that eventually there will be no war thanks to their pretending that evil and danger doesn't exist! Of course, just a small detail on our way to Nirvana, there won't be any people left or cities standing but there will be soothed and adoring liberals celebrating "non war" in between sex parties, disease festivals and Sharia law conventions.

Wake up American liberals! There is a right and wrong, good and evil, something worth fighting for and a God in Heaven, not a drunk Goddess!!!

Axis of Idiots

Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton , Barack Obama, Pat Leahy , Chuck Schumer, et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic sheet-head terrorists and murderers that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq , you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we’ll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.

Ted Kennedy, your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You’re a bloated drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington

John Kerry , dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You’ve accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You’re a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam is another war that you were for, before you were against it.

If you want our Soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I’m questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. If this offends you, too bad. Where is it written that you can't offend someone? I don't subscribe to your politically incorrect bu!!$hit. You don’t deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No, Mr. President , you don’t get off the hook, either . Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force.  It’s your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS. America must hear it from you that these Self-centered people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.

More of Hillary

Watch video

This is Hillary's socialism shining through.

My comments here are based on watching the video:

She wants to take those profits? Excuse me all to he!!, are we operating under the "Communist Manifesto" now? Please note her little sneer when she talked of profits like it is a dirty word.

She said it, the Democrats want to push this type of agenda forward...pure Socialism ala Karl Marx! Hillary represents a "Real and Present Danger"...taking a Tom Clancy title...for this country.

There is a real irony here...we would be very close to energy independence if the Democrats in concert with environmental whackos did not block every attempt at drilling for the sources we have now.

Hillary Promises To End War If Elected

WASHINGTON (AP)hillary.png -

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she would not have attacked Iraq if she were president in 2002 and would end the war if elected, as she tried to blunt rivals like John Edwards who are stoking anti-war passions in the Democratic Party.

Clinton, raising her voice at one point to be heard above anti-war hecklers, suggested that calls from Edwards and others to cut off funding for President Bush's troop increase are unlikely to win approval in a narrowly divided Senate.

Here we go again! Listening to a Clinton lie and spin the truth that she was very much in favor of the war. Just like her husband, she just wafts along with whatever the polls are saying. Claiming she was tricked is just an outright lie. At one point, she was raising her voice to be heard above anti-war hecklers. Ya’ gotta’ love that…anti-war hecklers at a Clinton rally.
If we in Congress don’t end this war before January 2009, as president, I will.”
However, she is not the only Democrat singing the same dance and song routine,“Flip-Flop” is the number one hit with these people.
Edwards voted with Clinton in 2002 to authorize Bush’s war against Iraq, a vote he defended during his 2004 presidential race but has since said was a mistake. The former North Carolina senator has gone from being a war apologist to one of the most outspoken critics of the invasion in this campaign.
The “I’m So Pretty” boy is also doing his “song and dance” routine for the morons of the whacko left anti-war element.

Update

Iraq Threatens to Dog Senator Clinton's White House Bid

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-N.Y.) pledge to end the Iraq war if she becomes president rings hollow to some anti-war activists not ready to forget the Democratic front runner's once staunch advocacy for the invasion.

Since announcing her candidacy for president, the New York senator has tried to distance herself from backing the unpopular war.

But such rhetoric would have been preferred much earlier, said Dana Balicki, organizer for the anti-war group CodePink.

"We've heard enough," Balicki told Cybercast News Service. "We want to see her do something. Stop funding the war. January 2009 is too late. We've lost thousands of lives. How many more lives will be lost?"

Asked if Clinton's October 2002 vote for a resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq would dog her throughout her presidential campaign, Balicki said: "We will assure it."

Just and Noble Cause and A Spoiled Brat Media...

Every time we turn on the TV, read the media and see the liberal garbage the radical left spews forth, we are told that Americans, or people living in America, are unhappy with the way the country is running and unhappy with our President.  Americans have developed a media-induced state of ignorance, misguided by a media that has the intelligence of a jelly fish!

What country are these people living in?  Make no mistake about it, we are truly blessed by God and the freedoms we enjoy.  I truly believe that so many Americans are unhappy because they have rejected God in their lives.

I am sick and tired of the media and reporters that don’t have the guts to look for and find all the good stories about American successes including the coverage of our efforts and troops in  the Mid-East.  We continue to get political comedians…that tell us how much they are going to do for us…and once elected, flip-flop and attack everything that resembles decency and morality.

Joe Repya, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army, 101st Airborne Division recently sent the following in an email to several bloggers.  In it, he claims that it represents the sentiment of most, if not all service men and women in Iraq and elsewhere. I am proud of all of them and God Bless all of them for serving this nation and honoring America. 
 I'M TIRED
Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq to finish my tour.
I left Baghdad and a war that has every indication that we are winning, to return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam. Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:
I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see these difficult tasks through.
I'm tired of disingenuous clamor from those that claim they 'Support the Troops' by wanting them to 'Cut and Run' before victory is achieved.
I'm tired of a mainstream media that can only focus on car bombs and casualty reports because they are too afraid to leave the safety of their hotels to report on the courage and success our brave men and women are having on the battlefield.
I'm tired that so many Americans think you can rebuild a dictatorship into a democracy over night.
I'm tired that so many ignore the bravery of the Iraqi people to go to the voting booth and freely elect a Constitution and soon a permanent Parliament.
I'm tired of the so-called 'Elite Left' that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.
I'm tired of anti-war protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen soldiers. A family who's loved ones gave their life in a just and noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.
I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom -- Vietnam generation, who have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks through to victory.
I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives than they are the slaughter and beheading of our citizens and allies.
I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front page news.
Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for Victory.

Sincerely - Joe Repya, Lt. Col., U.S. Army, 101st Airborne Division

I am tired that people continue to ignore the truth and the fact that what he is telling is the truth.  I pray for the day in which Americans realize that we can not allow the media to continue to lie and twist the truth and by doing so, undermine our nation.  They continually harp on ‘we support the troops’, however, their actions prove otherwise.

Global Warming-Media Hysteria

There was an extraordinary debate about global warming on CNN’s “Larry King Live” Wednesday night that perfectly demonstrated the battle that is waging on this issue. In particular, it marvelously depicted the hysteria being exhibited by the media versus the reason of those who actually make a living analyzing the problem.

For instance, King began the discussion:

What is global warming? Could it really kill us all, submerge cities like New York and Washington and San Francisco under floods from melting Arctic ice caps? Cause deadly heat waves lasting weeks? Would such a disaster be man made? After playing some video clips of frightened Senators, and a petrified Al Gore, King turned to Weather Channel climate expert Heidi Cullen:

And I think that the sea level rise issue is especially one that needs to be discussed and we need to talk about more in the sense that it sounds like this creeping issue that's far off in the future, but it's something that once we reach a point of warmer temperatures where we're pretty much locked into -- to ice caps melting -- and a lot of the new science that's come out recently suggests that sea ice is melting faster than we ever thought.

gl warm c.pnggl warm.png

Fortunately, Richard Lindzen of MIT was present to dash some water on all this hysteria:


Well, I think my read on it is that there is a certain climate of fear, to quote Mike Creighton. You know, for instance, Nye was talking about fresh water perhaps shutting down the Gulf Stream. But that isn't what physical oceanographers think. First of all, you know, we've measured the heat transport from the tropics to high latitudes. It's almost all in the atmosphere. The Gulf Stream is mostly driven by wind. To shut it down, you'd have to stop the rotation of the Earth or shut off the wind. And there's a lot of confusion in this and, you know, at the heart of it, we're talking of a few tenths of a degree change in temperature. None of it in the last eight years, by the way. And if we had warming, it should be accomplished by less storminess. But because the temperature itself is so unspectacular, we have developed all sorts of fear of prospect scenarios -- of flooding, of plague, of increased storminess when the physics says we should see less.

I think it's mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves.

So, despite the best efforts of the man-made global warming advocates to silence anyone suggesting otherwise, there are, indeed, a number of scientific critics who question whether global warming is a problem, and that the impact of human activity on global warming is negligible at best. But because the global warming debate has long since become more political than scientific, there are increasingly fewer resources, and recourse, for anyone not in lockstep with man-made global warming advocates. As a result, those who would question the validity of the man-made global warming advocates find themselves facing a new inquisition. It is because of that extremist influence that many scientists have discovered the best way to get grant money is to curry the favor of those extremists. (Follow the money trail.

Not surprisingly, scientists who are global warming skeptics are invariably castigated as being under the financial influence of the oil industry, or any other industry which questions global warming, while those who provide support for the environmental extremist cause are never questioned about their financial support.

Of course they are castigated...demagoguery is one of the radical left's best attack strategies.

Teddy Had It Right

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Every American citizen needs to read this!

I don't think the open borders with all the illegals pouring in our government granting amnesty is what Teddy had in mind.
