Scandal of Man-Made Global Warming Revealed In Hacked Emails
The Wall Street Journal 10/24/2009 points out that the hacked emails among leading climatologists who are proponents of man-made global warming, disclose the following:
1. these pro-man-mad global warming scientists urge each other to present a "unified" view
2. they refer to this a "common cause"
3. they advise each other how to smooth over data so as not to compromise their favored and lucrative hypothesis
4. they discuss ways to keep opposing views out of leading scientific journals
5. they give tips on how to "hide the decline"of temperature in certain inconvenient data
6. they suggest that emails to deleted that raise any doubt about man-made warming
7. they ask if email dates can be changed to enhance their view
8. they propose that well-respected journals that published some opposing views be black-listed by articles in that journal should not be cited and they should no longer publish in that journal
9. they propose that scientists with opposing views be blacklisted from publishing in peer reviewed journals
10. they recommend rules of the U.N.'s International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) be used to withhold giving the raw data to those that challenge man-made global warming.
Hundreds of these emails can be read in full on-line at the WSJ.
ALL IT TAKES IS SOME COMMON SENSE TO REALIZE THE POLITICAL AGENDA OF THE FRAUDULENT "EXPERT" CLIMATOLOGISTS WHO ARE PUSHING THE HOAX OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING (AGW) !
IT'S MONEY, POWER, GLORY AND MORE MONEY!
Yet some in the public can't see it right before their noses.
These phony scientists have the same political agenda as Al Gore, General Electric and other companies, liberal Democrats and the leaders of all third world nations.
It's so SIMPLE!
MONEY, POWER, GLORY AND MORE MONEY!
1. There are BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF RESEARCH FUNDING at stake around the world, that can keep various universities, government and industrial laboratories WELL-FUNDED AND SECURE for decades in the fight to "save the planet" from AGW.
2. These "leading" scientists pushing AGW can reap the REWARDS OF LUCRATIVE CONSULTING CONTRACTS with governments and industry on how to fight global warming.
3. Trillions, of dollars at stake for COMPANIES like General Electric that have made a BIG BET ON ALTERNATIVE "GREEN" ENERGY sources. Democrats can use the excuse of AGW to bribe corporations for political support, directing huge contracts to "friends" of Obama and excluding enemies.
4. Investors like Al Gore perpetuate the AGW hoax for personal gain and glory; they stand to make hundreds of millions through COMPANIES THAT DEAL IN CARBON TRADING.
5. The more poor, less technologically advanced nations can use Copenhagen Meeting and treaties like the Kyoto Treaty to EXTORT HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE MORE WEALTHY, TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED NATIONS. IT'S THE "SPREAD THE WEALTH" MENTALITY
"It is clear that there has been a concerted and coordinated effort to fit data to the hypothesis that there is man-made global warming while trying to silence and discredit critics." -wsj
Man-made global warming is a multi-trillion dollar world-wide industry over the next two decades and those that attempt to jeopardize the money sink are to be silenced.

The Constitution and Requiring Health Insurance
The overriding intention of the CONSTITUTION was meant to LIMIT AND RESTRICT THE POWERS OF GOVERNMENT OVER THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN. The BILL OF RIGHTS was added to the original Constitution because the framers were concerned that the RESTRICTIONS ON GOVERNMENT INTRUSION WERE NOT STRONG ENOUGH OR CLEAR ENOUGH IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT.
There are opinions from learned legal scholars on both sides of the question whether Congress can force people to buy health insurance according to the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution.
However, it doesn't seem that the framers of the Constitution meant to stuff elephants through this pinhole of an interstate commerce clause, which is what would be done if Congress could force health insurance on everyone.
There have been enough stretches of that clause to cause worry among those who see the expansive use of the interstate commerce clause as an unintended intrusion of government on individual rights. If government can force individuals to buy health insurance, there is no limit to what the government can force individuals to buy or do under the guise of interstate commerce.
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS AND A THREAT TO THE BILL OF RIGHTS. IT REPRESENTS A MAJOR STEP TOWARD THE CREATION OF A TOTALITARIAN SOCIALIST STATE.

What is the Biggest Threat To The United States?
The biggest threat to the United States is NOT Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Iran's getting nukes, the hoax of man-made carbon dioxide causing global warming, the supposed 30 million uninsured for health care, illegal immigration or even the impending rationing of health care.
The BIGGEST THREAT BY FAR to the welfare and security of the American people is the path this country is on to AT LEAST DOUBLE THE NATIONAL DEBT FROM $5 TRILLION TO $10 TRILLION over the next 10 years as a result of the HUGE DEFICIT SPENDING PROGRAMS BY OBAMA and the liberal Democrats. Moreover, if some forecasts on the actual cost of entitlement programs are correct, based upon what has actually happened with social security, Medicare and such versus their forecasts, then the national debt could even triple.
The result will be a continued SLIDE OF THE DOLLAR relative to other world currencies, far more UNITED STATES ASSETS (real estate, corporations, and bonds) being OWNED BY OTHER COUNTRIES, and ENORMOUS INFLATION that will drive the standard of living down for all Americans except perhaps the most wealthy.
So, if you are a family earning $100,000 per year today, in 10 years you will likley have the puchasing power of a family making $50,000 or even $35,000 today. This is what legislation passed and proposed by Obama and the liberal Democrats are doing to you in 2009 and the coming years. You can do the simple arithmetic if you make more or less than $100,000 today to see where you will be in ten years and beyond. So, if you aspire to the standard of living that people have who make half or a third of what you do today, then you ought to continue to follow Obama; he'll get you there. Keep on swooning and drooling over Obama with his "change" and "yes we can". There may be redistrbutionb of wealth if Obama has his way but the value of the dollar will decline so much that those who have more confiscated by the government and those that receive more handouts from the government will all have a lower standard of living. But, it will be fair.
If you don't have the goal of having spending power that is half or a third of what you have today, then start thinking of how much fun will it be, or how clever will you think you are, to then say "Bush did this" or "Cheney did that" or to make stupid comments about Sarah Palin? How cool will it be to have been an Obama puppet in 2008-2009?

Palin Derangment Syndrome In High Gear
The PALIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IS IN HIGH GEAR among the Obama puppets, who still swoon and drool over Obama's every teleprompter word and appearance, and those in the media that "get a tingle down their leg when Obama speaks". Witness that the Associated Press has assigned eleven reporters to "fact check" Palin's book, while they assigned ZERO reporters to fact check Obama's two books in which others have uncovered numerous lies and distortions.
I would guess that most of the anti-Palin comments are from those who have not read her book or heard her on interviews with Oprah, Hannity, Walters O'Reilly or Miller. The anti-Palin crowd prefers to keep ignorant or are simply so blinded by their bias such as the pro-abortion crowd.
Palin has a natural rapport with middle America; she comes across as honest, moral, enthusiastic, unpretentious and knowledgeable as well as admitting to have been gullible about the underhanded, liberal leaning, headline seeking media. Compared to just about every politician Republican or Democrat on the national scene, Palin is refreshing and one to be admired. She has none of the evasiveness, elitism, phony posturing, stale rehearsed talking points and feeling that you are being mislead or that future actions will not match current promises, that we get from Republicans and Democrats alike. This is what makesPalin such a threat and why the liberal left attacks her so continually.
On the presidential level, in the past sixty years, if one reads or has heard the speeches of Truman, Kennedy and Regan live or in documentaries, they conveyed some of the directness, honesty and openness of Palin. On the other hand, Nixon, Carter and Obama are on the opposite end of the spectrum, you just know that you cannot trust their words and their subsequent actions have proven this.

If The Keffiyeh Doesn't Fit, You Must Acquit
No one could seriously believe that OJ would not be convicted of murdering his wife and her friend in courtroom spectacle of the last century. No one seriously thought that OJ would ever see the light of day. BUT WE ALL SAW OJ DODGE JUSTICE!
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was ready to be tried in a military court and had already admitted his guilt and was looking forward to being executed as a martyr.
Now there is the opportunity for the planner of the worst war crime against the United States to have a platform to retell his story or to dodge justice by some technicality of the civilian legal system with the aid of clever lawyers or with the aid of a single biased juror who sympathizes with the Jihadists.
This is on Obama's and Holder's heads. THERE IS NO "BUSH-CHENEY DID IT" EXCUSE or "WE INHERITED THIS MESS " TO WHINE ABOUT.
IT IS A STUPID POLITICAL MOVE THAT ENDANGERS ALL AMERICANS GOING FORWARD as Islamic Terrorists now have the clear message that if they kill Americans on United States soil then they will be Mirandized and have all of the safeguards of the American civilian legal system with a chance at acquittal, or a hung jury or at worst a public platform to spew their hatred and inspire other Jihadists.
Perhaps, Holder's old former law firm, that has represented a number of terrorists in the past, will take on this case.
This is one more clear example of how Obama is naive or incompetent or, worse yet, trying to placate the Muslim nations. He is unfit to be president!

Why Israeli - Palestinian "Peace" Process Drags On
1. The Palestinian Arabs would be living in peace and prosperity in the land of Israel, including the so-called West Bank, if they had not fled their homes in 1948 when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem told them to do so with the promise that all of the Jews would be killed and the Arabs could return to their homes and even take the homes and land of the Jews.
2. The Palestinian Arabs would be living in peace with their own land if any of the Arab countries which invaded Israel, had any compassion for, or obligation to, the Palestinian Arabs. The surrounding Arab nations of Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and nearby Iraq, Yemen, Libya and more, with hundreds of times the land area of Israel, could have settled the Palestinian Arabs rather than keep them in refugee camps and poverty and continue to incite them to violence against Israel.
3. ISRAEL HAS RETURNED OVER 90 % OF THE TERRITORIES IT HAS CAPTURED IN WARS WITH INVADING NATIONS OR IN DEFENDING ITSELF AGAINST TERRORIST ATTACKS.
4. Can anyone imagine any Arab nation returning any land to Israel in any circumstance?
5. Israel returned all of the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, the Gaza Strip which had been under Egyptian administration to Palestinian Arabs, southern Lebanon to Lebanon, and 40% of the "West Bank" to Palestinian Arabs.
6. Israel retained East Jerusalem, to make the city whole again, and 60% of the West Bank, both of which were ARTIFICIALLY under the control of Jordan due to 1948 cease fire "Green Line" when Jordan, Egypt, Syria and other Arab nations invaded Israel.
5. JEWS HAVE LIVED IN THE SO-CALLED "WEST BANK", THE HISTORICAL LANDS OF SAMARIA AND JUDEA, FOR MORE THAN 3200 YEARS. They have just as much right to the West Bank as does any Arab group.
6. Israel has also retained a small strip of land on the border with Syria, the Golan Heights, because of its strategic nature since Syria has joined in several wars trying to destroy Israel and Syria continues to be a prime supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas.
7. Why should Israel give any land to Arabs in the West Bank, when the ruling party, Hamas, of the would-be Palestine nation still has a goal to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? No nation in the history of the world would be expected to place itself in such a dangerous situation.

Congress Slows The Obama-Pelosi-Reid Spending Craze
Congress has "tied down" the Obama agenda because the Democratic health care bills and the Carbon Cap and Trade bill are bad legislation.
Obama winning the election was not a mandate to pass any piece of crappy legislation that he, Pelosi,Reid, ACORN and the SEIU decide they want.
By now, we know that one of Obama's slick tricks during the campaign was to call for "change" and "yes we can", but :
Obama was sly enough to not specify the actual changes he would be proposing.
In the campaign it sounded so moral to cover the uninsured, health care for all.
Now, when we get down to details, everyone with common sense knows this could be done for those who actually cannot afford insurance for a fraction of the cost of ObamaCare; without huge deficits and rationing.
In the campaign, clean energy sounded like such a high ideal and good for energy independence.
Now we know that man-made global warming is probably a hoax, the clean energies of wind and solar are many times as expensive as coal and gas which will lower the standard of living of every American and ObamaGreen will cost millions of jobs to go overseas.
In the campaign, Obama pledged many things that we now find he lies about.
Obama was going to cut the Bush deficit in half, which sounded great, the Bush deficits were irresponsible.
Now we know that Obama has quadrupled the Bush deficit, handed out massive amounts of pork and with ObamaCare and ObamaGreen he will bankrupt the country or drive massive inflation.
Now we know that we are looking at trillion dollar or more deficits each year for the next ten years if we follow the Obama plan.
So, we ought to applaud Congress for slowing down this insanity of spending and of government takeover of major parts of the economy.
The Republicans in Congress see this very clearly and so do a few Democrats.
While there are those who still swoon and drool over Obama, the large majority of the electorate is no longer fooled by "change" and "yes we can".
Now we know it is "change" for the worse!

The Age of Celebrities
There is no one who has benefited more from the "celebrity age" than Barack Hussein Obama. With no experience, no accomplishments, no decisions of significance and a hoard of radical anti-American associates and advisors, Obama used his teleprompter reading ability, empty slogans and booming voice to charm and sweet talk America. He is an empty suit who became the ultimate American Idol and is attempting to be the Rock Star of the World. How ironic that liberal hacks in the media, who has fawned over Obama and ignored all of Obama's lies, failures and Chicago Way dirty politics, now are incensed about Palin's celebrity status.
Obama's Trip To China
In case you haven't noticed, Obama's trip to China is a TOTAL BUST as far as U.S. interests are concerned.
1. Trade agreements? No!
2. Human rights in China? None of O's business. No!
3. China's help with pressure and sanctions against Iran? No!
4. China's help with aggressive stance by North Korea? No!
5. Agreement on carbon emissions? Fortunately China is not as stupid as the U.S. about the man-made global warming hoax and the economic impact of drastic limits on carbon dioxide emissions. No!
6. China's agreement on world wide monetary and deficit stimulus spending? No!
All OBAMA GOT WAS A REPRIMAND FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CHINA BANKING REGULATORY COMMISSION on how Obama's uncontrolled deficit spending and low interest rates are causing excessive speculation in global stock and real estate markets that will lead to another economic meltdown. Ironic: Chinese Communist lecturing the United States on what's best for capitalism.
7. On the plus side, Obama did manage to bow deeply to the Emperor of Japan.

Islamic Terrorists Trial In a Civilian Court
Moving the trials of the 9/11 Islamic terrorists to a civilian court in New York is grandstanding politics by Obama-Holder of the worst kind. It places New York and, for that matter, all potential United States civilian targets at much higher risk going forward. Al Qaeda and other groups win here from a propaganda standpoint as well as a future strategy standpoint.
1. From a propaganda standpoint, the 9/11 Islamic terrorists now:
(a) get a stage where they can denounce the United States and possibly recruit more Islamic radicals,
(b) possibly force the Dept of Justice, through rules of evidence, to reveal many tactics and technology used in fighting terrorism
(c) actually have a chance of being acquitted or at least getting a hung jury.
(d) string out the process for a decade of more, through numerous appeals, if they are found guilty.
2. From a strategy standpoint, Obama-Holder's message to Al Qaeda is now clear:
(a) attack unguarded civilian targets in the United States and if you are not a suicide- murderer, but one of the leaders or planners who convinces the suicide-murderers to kill in the name of Islam, then if captured you get treated with all of the legal protections of an American citizen with a chance of being found not-guilty.
(b) attack military targets and the attack has much less of a chance of success due to generally guarded and fortified installations and if caught then you get the death penalty in a military court with no chance of acquittal.
This seems to be either lost on Obama-Holder or, even worse, they weigh these downsides as not being as important as giving Obama-Holder the opportunity to grandstand for months or years about the civilian trials, getting many TV opportunities, and possibly as platform to further bash the Bush-Cheney regime thereby diverting attention from the huge failures of Obama's domestic economic policies and Obama's total lack of any accomplishments in international matters.
Of course, this action by Obama-Holder plays into the politically correct Obamaspeak which no longer acknowledges a war on terrorism or Islamic terrorists as existing.
Al Qaeda wins, the United States loses!

More on the Liberals Panic Over Palin
The attention being given to Sarah Palin and her new book, "Going Rogue" brings out the most biased and distorted criticisms of Palin. One common theme is to fawn over the role of Obama as president and ask if we could imagine Palin in the same situations as Obama, such as his current trip to China, as though Palin could not possibly match Obama's great victories.
The fact of the matter is that with all of Obama's traveling and his world apology tours, his empty threats to Iran and North Korea, and his double-crossing of America's allies, OBAMA HAS ACCOMPLISHED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in international relations.
OBAMA HAS GAINED NOTHING FOR THE UNITED STATES' INTERESTS. But, Obama sure looks good in his suit, smiling and bowing to the monarchs of Japan and Saudi Arabia, and criticizing the United States to the cheers of thousands of Europeans and Middle Eastern Muslims.
A straight talking Sarah Palin would at least have a chance of achieving much more, certainly PALIN COULD NOT ACHIEVE LESS THAN OBAMA WHICH HAS BEEN ZERO.
Likewise, for domestic policies, Obama has accomplished nothing except to run up huge record breaking deficits with even more to come with his ObamaCare and Cap and Trade should they pass.
OBAMA IS DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES' ECONOMY AND THREATENING THE WORLD ECONOMY as the chairman of the China Bank Regulatory Commission told him. Evidently the Chinese are not impressed with the charm of the "rock star of the world" and are more concerned with his bad monetary policies.
PALIN COULD NOT HAVE DONE WORSE THAN OBAMA and likely would do much better with a practical approach of not spending what you don't have and taking steps to actually stimulate business rather what Obama has done in handing out massive pork and funding more entitlements under the guise of helping the economy.
Could you imagine Palin shifting the trials of captured Islamic terrorists, who murdered thousands of civilians in a military attack, to a civilian trial in New York rather than a military trial in GITMO. Never!
But, as we all knew, Palin had actual experience as an executive making decisions in government and business and has common sense, while Obama had none.
Palin has not had the "benefit" of such advisers as Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and the rest of his socialist and anti-American cohorts.

Liberal's Panic Over Palin
The usual characters in the predominantly liberal mainstream media, like the New York Times, Washington Post and NBC, are panicking over the attention Sarah Palin and her new book are getting in news coverage, talk shows and book sales. They are dragging out the same old lies, distortions and rumors about Palin as when she came on the national scene in August 2008.
The Obama puppets have no chance of understanding or appreciating someone like Sarah Palin. They are just enamored with chanting, slogans, swooning, having Obama sweet talk and charm them with vagaries and outright lies and promises of more government entitlements.
They cannot comprehend the attraction of Palin who speaks openly and honestly and who doesn't dodge tough or controversial questions as do other politicians of both parties who have mastered the technique of giving the politically correct answer or the typical politician's non-answer answer.
The Obama pawns and the mainstream media are frightened by someone who doesn't come from, or have some connection to, the Washington D.C.-New York-Boston corridor. The Obama pawns want someone who is an elitist, who will take care of them when they are frightened, and who lures them in with false promises.
Palin is unique in modern politics in that she doesn't bow to the mainstream media and is a straight talker who actually relates to the concerns and struggles of most Americans.
This seems to be scary to all Democrats and some Republicans who like a well-controlled member of the usual elitist Washington crowd that they can bully or buy off with pork.
Palin doesn't fit that bill and so she must be destroyed by the corrupt insiders and the usual parroting media who are fearful that their privilege and influence will be taken away.

The Chinese Lecture Obama About Economics
Obama went to China this week to press for civil rights and a green planet. Instead, he got a dose of reality of how he is perceived by those that really count in China, the leadership. The chairman of the China Bank Regulatory Commission told Obama, in no uncertain terms, that Obama's economic policies are are:
(1) causing "mass speculation" thereby inflating asset speculation in stock and property markets around the world and
(2)creating "unavoidable risks for recovery of the global economy, especially emerging economies".
The Chinese chairman was referring to the huge deficit spending and borrowing leading to a weak dollar and low U.S. interest rates. I guess the Chinese leadership just doesn't understand that Obama is global a rock star who can't be bothered with such petty concerns.

Ft Hood Massacre - An Act of Domestic Islamic Terrorism
The massacre at Ft Hood was an act of domestic Islamic terrorism.
Hasan wrote and spoke about his approval of suicide bombings. He spoke out vehemently against U.S. war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq. He attended mosques that routinely spout anti-American pro-Islamic Terrorists propaganda. He emailed a known AL Qaeda recruiter in Yemen about 20 times according to an ABC report.
The FBI and the military had all of this information but they failed to act and protect this country against this domestic Islamic terrorist.
Evidently, the lessons of 9/11 have not been learned well enough.
There is also the contributory factor of "political correctness" that likely caused pause within the FBI, and perhaps Army Intelligence, in taking action that might be viewed by the Obama administration as ethnic or religious profiling. Examples of actions by the Obama administration that reinforce such "political correctness" :
1. Obama announcing the closing of GITMO and treating captured Islamic Terrorist combatants as civilian law breakers
2. Deleting the War of terrorism from the federal vocabulary and referring to the wars as criminal acts or man-made disasters
3. Eric Holder investigating, and possibly prosecuting, CIA for aggressive interrogation of terrorists, when such interrogations actually averted attacks on the U.S. and loss of life
4. Eric Holder refusing to prosecute Black Panthers who intimidated voters in Philadelphia
5. Obama apologizing in Cairo to the Muslim world for past U.S. actions and attitudes toward Islam,
6. Obama lashing out at the Cambridge cop in the Black Harvard professor incident
7. Janet Napolitano stating after the Ft. Hood attack that she was most worried about a backlash against Muslims in this country instead of being most worried about protecting the homeland from domestic and foreign enemies like Hasan.
Today, at the Ft Hood service for those murdered, Obama referred to the act as "a tragedy", never once acknowledging it was an act of Islamic terrorism.
The Army failed, the FBI failed and Obama failed these victims.

"I'm Tired" by Robert A. Hall
"I'm Tired" by Robert A. Hall
I'll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18 Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, too lazy or stupid to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.
I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros, and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. Won't multiculturalism be beautiful?
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I believe "a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin." I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois.
I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.
I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were
wonderful. That thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control
weight and stress, that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his, that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic
schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ
rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.
I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military... Those are the citizens we need.
I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years-and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal.
I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.
I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers-bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois, where the " Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet as well.
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.

Victories in NJ and VA - Lesson for Republicans
Evidently the Obama White House has distributed the talking points to all of their puppets in the media, like Larry King on CNN and Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post, and like a good little Obama puppets, dancing as Obama pulls their strings, they try to dismiss the significance of the major Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey. Larry King actually dismissed the McDonnell and Christie victories as wins for "the far right". Can you believe he used the term "far right" for Christie and McDonnell. And a panelist on CNN, from BET, said the Republican victories were caused by talk radio and Fox News. What bias and stupidity! What denial of the facts!
Obama's personal efforts campaigning for the Democrat's candidates in New Jersey and Virginia , along with an influx of DNC money, were rebuffed by the voters who are sick of the direction Obama-Pelosi-Reid are taking this country. There is an important message here for the Republicans as well for 2010 and 2012. The Republican winners in New Jersey and Virginia supported conservative principles but the candidates also embraced moderate Republicans and Independents who did not necessarily line up 100% with all conservative principles.
This is analogous to how Obama and the Leftwing of the Democrats took over the Democratic Party, by allowing views from moderate Democrats and Independents. Of course, once Obama and the Leftwing got into power they ignored the voices of their moderates and independents and simply have pushed a Leftwing agenda. Thus the result of Republican victories in New Jersey and Virginia.

Obama, Fox News Channel and The Media
Most of the media continue to be a tool of Obama but there are some cracks in the media's protective wall around Obama beyond Fox News Channel, The Wall Street Journal and some talk radio. While MSNBC, the New York Times, Time Magazine and others still fawn over Obama and generate one mindless news report or opinion piece after another as they have for more than two years, not all media outlets are just parroting the Obama talking points each week.
National Public Radio (NPR), a very liberal leaning station, ran a public opinion poll (not a scientific sampling) on their website this week asking if the White House was correct in labeling Fox News Channel as NOT being "fair and balanced" or is the White House wrong and Fox News Channel is "fair and balanced". About 1,445,000 votes were cast (voting more than once was blocked). The result was 84% supporting Fox News Channel as being "fair and balanced" and only 15% supporting the White House accusation, with 1% undecided. Aside from the very conservative Sean Hannity and Glen Beck shows on the Fox News Channel, anyone who watches FNC would see fair news reporting throughout the day and several opinion shows that have balanced opinions being expressed. Even Glen Beck, who some may label as being somewhat paranoid, performed a valuable service by focusing attention on the corrupt and criminal ACORN and on the radical Van Jones when all other media ignored their actions and connections to Obama.
What would the New York Times, NBC, MSNBC, Time, etc. or NPR itself get in a survey such as the one about FNC?
The attacks on FNC by Obama and his cohorts is typical of what we have seen for the 287 days of the Obama reign. Any individual, organization, media or politician that disagrees with Obama's reckless spending, big government agenda and weak foreign policy is vilified, intimidated and outright lied about; this is the "Chicago Way".
This is Obama's new morality in government that he promised; it's new as Obama said, but people were fooled into thinking it would be better not worse. Instead, Obama's new morality is the "Chicago Way" and has been used by Obama at every step in his political advancement, not just for the first 287 days of his reign!

Obama's 287 Days of Change
Obama's 287 Days of change?
It hasn't all happened yet but some change has been enacted and much more change is in the works.
1. Change from a FREE-MARKET ECONOMY with some imperfect regulation to one which is a GOVERNMENT-RUN ECONOMY.
2. Change from a culture of INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY to one of individual DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT for most aspects of life, health, jobs, housing, primary and higher education and more.
3. Change from individuals being ALLOWED TO SUCCEED (or fail) through their own decisions and efforts and be rewarded (or penalized) for their choices to PENALIZING SUCCESS and redistributing hard earned and deserved wealth.
4. Change from the RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS being protected by the Constitution to where individuals, organizations and politicians that oppose the "Change" are DEMONIZED AND INTIMIDATED.
5. Change from a MANAGEABLE BUDGET DEFICIT to MASSIVE BUDGET DEFICITS for years to come with the inevitable inflation.
6. Change from a HEALTH CARE SYSTEM THAT WORKS for 300 million citizens, but needs some fixing, where the doctor-patient relationship is primary and choice of care is made by the patient to one where the GOVERNMENT WILL INTRUDE in a large way between the doctor and patient, choice will be very limited and health care will be rationed while huge budget deficits accrue.
7. Change from a foreign policy of defending and supporting our allies, VIGOROUSLY DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM with a strong military and being firm with our enemies to one where apologies are made for the United States being the defender of democracies, where our allies are double-crossed, our ENEMIES ARE APPEASED and the United States power has become an international joke.
THIS IS "THE CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN"!

PelosiObamaCare Bill 1990 pages
It is common sense that any bill (the ObamaPelosiCare bill) that is 1990 pages is filled with:
earmarks,
opportunities for corruption,
special favors for big financial contributors to the Democrats,
special benefits for demographic groups that routinely vote for Democrats,
payoffs to districts where the Congressional Representative is holding back support for the bill
and is clearly trying to hide the truth of what is being done.
A bill that is 1990 pages that creates a federal commissioner (CZAR) of health and all sorts of government bureaus can only be intended to:
expand the size of government,
expand government control
and set us on a path for another huge deficit spending entitlement
A bill that is 1990 pages will have the likely outcome that it will not fix the basic problems with the health care system.
Those who voted for Obama (except for the most ignorant puppets) ought to be embarrassed about their vote and the "change you can believe in".
