Climate Alarmism's Flimsy Foundation

"When you think about it, the global warming industry is not dissimilar to the current mortgage-instigated mess the country now faces. We have a planetary heat crisis and an insufficient home ownership crisis. Government demands intervention to remedy both mistaken theories. Media joins in celebrating and promoting the new agenda. A bubbling system of artificial wealth is created. But because both foundations are shaky, they cannot hold up the continued weight placed upon them."

I think I'm commiting the crime of "Global Warming Denial." Do I get to call my Constitutional lawyer before you 1984, Big Brother environmental thought-police despots send me to jail?

Barack Obama: International Man of Mystery (as well as Messiah)

"Take ethanol. Obama appears to be trying to scrub the public record of his past support for federal corn-ethanol subsidies and mandates. In August, the Obama campaign purged several sections on corn ethanol from his online energy plan. Now it may be that Obama’s staunch support for corn ethanol during the Iowa caucuses — the primary-season victory that created his campaign’s momentum — is now regretted and abandoned. Or it may be that this summer’s big increases in food prices — boosted in part by ethanol mandates — caused him to downplay his support for Big Corn, but that he has every intention of fulfilling his campaign promises to Iowa’s farmers. We simply don’t know — because the Obama campaign won’t tell us."

What a bunch of corn!

"Jimmy Carter helped push through a windfall profits tax on oil producers in 1980. As the Tax Foundation notes, that plan 'had the effect of decreasing domestic production by 3 percent to 6 percent, thereby increasing American dependence on foreign oil sources by 8 percent to 16 percent.' Moreover, as any supply-sider could have predicted, the tax failed to meet the government’s revenue projections. Congress repealed the windfall-profits tax in 1988. Why Obama wants to reprise one of Jimmy Carter’s more notorious policy debacles is not clear — though the point may be moot now that the global economic slowdown has driven the price of oil below Obama’s arbitrary $80 threshold."

To keep America dependent upon foreign oil, right?

Yet another ghastly war

"He burns with a fervent urgency, because world news sources are reporting atrocities in India worthy of Hitler's ovens in Nazi Germany and Idi Amin's bloody ravages in Uganda. Christian missions in at least 4 giant states – Orissa, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh – are denied the right to practice their faith in any way that might tend to 'convert' these lowly, forsaken people to Christianity. This would include, in many cases, just simple humanitarian aid.

"Right now, Orissa seems the hotbed of violence at its horrific worst. In one Catholic orphanage, bloodthirsty mobs locked up a priest and a computer teacher in a house and burned it down. Many believers in Christ have been hacked to pieces and left on the road, mirroring the carnage in Rwanda. More than 5,000 Christian Dalit families have had their homes burned or destroyed. Though some police have tried to stem the violence, at least warning Christians at the last minute, they've only enabled the victims to escape with their lives, but nothing else to their names."

What Johnny learned today: 'Gay' is okay

"The greatest influence on how a child performs in school is the home from which that child comes. Take kids from already troubled homes and put them in schools where traditional values are at best taught as a footnote to a large menu of possible lifestyles, and the result is children and communities that have no future.

"Maintaining the integrity of marriage and family in California, the nation's largest state, is critical for children not just in California, but in the whole country. Let's hope that Californians vote in November to save traditional marriage and help pull our nation back from moral oblivion."

Universities of socialism

"The great English writer George Orwell, who penned the book, 'Animal Farm,' and '1984' – forgotten anti-totalitarian classics that mocked the progressive intellectuals, social engineers and secular academics of the 1920s–50s that gleefully followed the siren song of Darwin, Marx, Freud, Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and the myriad varieties of what Jonah Goldberg referred to as 'liberal fascism' – said it best: 'In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.'"

Barack O-holy-bama, I have been saved!

Hosanna heysanna sanna sanna ho....

"Since Obama has never denied his deistic status, I'll assume he's going along for the ride. There's no way of knowing if Jesus was any good as a speaker (at least without a TelePrompter), but I can overlook any of Obama's oratory shortcomings in light of his message of 'change.' I'm not quite sure what those changes are – beyond distributing our wealth and guaranteeing free health care and housing and maybe a chicken in every pot (tofu if you're a vegan) – but I'm certain I'll find out soon enough. I'm sure whatever Lord Obama (Dread Lord of the Democrats -- Ed.) has in mind will simplify my life and make it flow freely. And with less hassle too. Something like how the inhabitants of Planet Camazotz lived their lives in freedom and independence under the benign rule of IT (see Madeline L'Engle's 'A Wrinkle in Time').

(Sanna heysanna hosanna....)

"As is proper for a deity, Obama's origins are shrouded in mystery. We don't know his country of birth, his academic credentials, his religious affiliation, or his relationship with people of wildly hateful speech, actions and mindset. Phew. Who wants to clutter up a Messiah's prophecy by knowing from whence he came?

"I dare not question Obama's messianic status, or I too might become a victim of media assassination (like Joe the Plumber) or Secret Service investigation (like Jessica Hughes). Apparently the most efficient method of establishing the credentials of the Messiah is to beat the holy crap out of any critics. This sends the message to the rest of the world that awkward and unvetted questions are bad, evil and sinful. And if the Messiah blurts out an inconvenient truth, such as telling Joe the Plumber that his modest and hard-earned wealth will be'spread around,' then the angels … er, the media, hastily covers up the mistake by assassinating Joe. Clever."

Sanna hosanna hey Superstar!

Danger Man

“The more people, in my judgment, exaggerate a threat of safety and soundness, the more people conjure up the possibility of serious financial losses to the Treasury, which I do not see. I think we see entities that are fundamentally sound financially and withstand some of the disastrous scenarios. And even if there were a problem, the Federal Government doesn’t bail them out. But the more pressure there is there, then the less I think we see in terms of affordable housing.”

The Honorable Barney Frank (D-MA), September 2003

This man has incredible judgement.

(Incredible meaning no credibility.)

He must have had Joe the Plumber in mind

"It's amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites."

Obama Records: Obama Medical, College, University, Other Records Still Hidden

"The refusal of the Obama campaign to allow the public to see Obama’s records just days before the election is somewhat mystifying.

"Unless there is something in them that the campaign feels will be damaging to their efforts to win the White House.

"The spate of lawsuits popping up in state courts over the Obama birth certificate issue is a side one. Obama supporters can argue that Obama has produced an image on his website of a Certificate of Live Birth.

"Fair enough. But Obama supporters can make no case for the candidate’s refusal to release his other records. An informed electorate needs information."

Ayers, Dohrn: 'White supremacy' responsible for America's troubles

"Unrepentant terrorist William Ayers and his wife, onetime federal fugitive Bernardine Dohrn, are releasing a new book that blames whites for the problems in the U.S. since its independence from Great Britain more than two centuries ago.

"According to Amazon.com, the soon-to-be released book, 'Race Course Against White Supremacy,' includes personal essays 'by two veteran political activists' on 'white supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life.'

"Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days – and that it is still very much with us – the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education," the Amazon posting states."

"On the Free Republic forum, a contributor wrote:

"'Bill Ayers "gets it." Here's what he understands: One strategy to undermine culture is to discredit its values and history. Of course, reducing American history to a simplistic notion of 'white supremacy' is absurd, but that’s the point. The point is to slowly undermine the confidence of people about the values and history of their own culture so they'll be less willing to defend and protect it. Along the way, you've also created a structure of "them" (so-called "white" people, meaning, in this context, people from western and northern Europe) and "us" (everyone else). This creates internal conflict based on simple, easy to understand qualities like skin color.

"'Eventually, the culture becomes so disillusioned and split apart that an organized cadre of leaders can take control and establish a new kind of society – like the Bolsheviks did in 1917, or the National Socialists in 1933, or the followers of Mao in 1949,' the forum participant wrote."

I AM LIVID.

It was the American criminal justice system that got Ayers off of a criminal charge on a technicality. He is enjoying freedom because of the criminal justice system that he criticizes.

Also too he and his wife are not living in a third-world neighborhood in Chicago. He is living very well amongst the white supremacists he hates so much. Why does he not teach at a black college or university?

BAM STAFFERS PULL THEIR BOGUS OHIO BALLOTS

"Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday yanked their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a prosecutor that temporary residents can't vote in the battleground state.

"A dozen staffers - including Obama Ohio spokeswoman Olivia Alair and James Cadogan, who recently joined Team Obama - signed a form letter asking the Franklin County elections board to pull their names from the rolls."

Police: McCain volunteer made up robbery story

Don't say I ignored this story:

"A McCain campaign volunteer made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter 'B' scratched on her face in a politically inspired attack, police said Friday."
