Global Warming Alert!!!

Here is a chart put out by the National Climate Data Center, which shows the record tempuratures by state through 2003. And in it, some rather telling data are found.

For instance:
  • the earliest record was 1888 (Colorado) -- which occurred shortly after they began keeping these records.

  • the most recent record was in 1995 (Connecticut)

  • the year that set the most state heat records was 1936 (14 states)

  • the year with the second number of state heat records was 1994 (5). But of those 5, 3 of them were tied for records that had been set on earlier years.

  • 24 state heat records were set in the 1930s. 4 times the number of the runner up '90s (6). Third place: 1910-1919 (5)

I'm not a scientist. I don't even play one on TV. But it's pretty obvious that data like this certainly suggests that there might just be other factors at play when it comes to the Earth's climate; Factors that might even make us humans seem insignificant. But then again, it may have been all those jet-liners flying around that contributed to the record temps of 1911.

Randomness...

Hey, you know those documents that ACORN dumped the other day? You remember. The ones that contained all sorts of sensitive information and were conveniently 'let go' just days before California Attorney General Jerry Brown and his minions were to investigate ACORN? Well AG Brown was asked about that. Was his response skepticism? anger? outrage? Nope. He changes the subject and tries to blame Republicans.
LOL

And it looks like he has some ethics problems
shocker

So, it turns out that this whole climate thing may have been rigged from the beginning
no kidding

The objective journalism of the L.A.T.
snicker

The latest Obamacare opponent:
Howard Dean?

Carol Browner, the nutty, nutty climate czar who just happens to sit on the board of a carbon offset company, doesn't buy the whole climategate thing.
conflict. of. interest.
surprise surprise

Amazon countries think that "rich" countries should pay them for Global Warming.
Confirming the point of GW fanaticism.

The Latest on Climategate

White House is involved
shhh...don't say anything
what bias?

Obama's take on climategate:
Ignore, Ignore, Deny Deny

CNN's take on climategate
nah, it's not a big deal

One of the scandles explained
shameless

The left really really really wants to pretend that this whole email thing didn't happen
oooh, that's too bad

so what about that whole "peer review" thing
ooops

The secret life of Climate Researchers
wow

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!


No Surprises Here

Wanna know why Obama doesn't seem to understand the importance of the private sector? Because virtually no one in his cabinet has ever worked in the private sector. Of Obama's closest advisers (you know, the ones that have assumed complete control over the private sector), about 93% of them have never had any experience working for any sort of business. Look at the chart above put together by J.P. Morgan.
Unbelievable.

Finally. They prosecute the SEIU thugs who beat up a town-hall protester.
And it only took 6 months

John Stossel: "We pay them to lie to us"
That pretty much sums it up

Martha Stewart apparently knows about politics
and insider trading

Obama has a problem with credibility?
no. way.

Walpin-Gate Gets Wider

Wait. Obama made up some story about Walpin to justify his firing?
no. way.

And, Michelle Rhee, the head of the D.C. school system and fiancee of Kevin Johnson actually visited Walpin in June to tell him that Johnson was really a super guy and that he probably shouldn't be investigated.
I don't see any big news here. do you?

And he was such a super guy that he offered a Sacramento girl hush money after she accused him of touching her inappropriately.
Super duper guy

Even with all the overwhelming evidence against Obama and Johnson in this case, virtually every news source is attempting to make the issue partisan. For the record, this ain't partisan.

How to sell Global Warming to the Public

If you like being irate, read this. It's one of those emails that were released on Friday from Britain's Climate Research Unit.

The Beck Rally

For those of you who haven't heard, Glenn Beck held a rally today at The Villages in Florida. Read about what went down here.

Here are some exclusive photos of the rally. I'm sure the AP will say that there were at least 7 people in attendance, assuming they cover it at all.
















And the Socialists Strike Again...

In an amazing act of weekend cowardice, the lefties in the Senate were able to twist enough arms, ignore Senate rules and buy enough votes to narrowly avoid a Republican filibuster of the tyrannical obamacare bill, all while ignoring the Constitution and the overwhelming voice of the public. Stay classy, dems.
Pathetic
But it ain't over yet.

The Political "Climate"

In a not-so-shocking (but extremely satisfying) report that came out yesterday, it was proven what we already knew: climate scientists have an agenda and they don't mind manipulating data to obtain results that further that agenda. Shocking. Thanks to some stealth hacking, very telling and incriminating emails were uncovered that seem to indicate that one of the leading global warming research organizations has been fudging their results. And by "seem to indicate" I mean "clearly show". Worse, by mere virtue of the fact that the hacked data was in the form of emails, it indicates that these so-called climate scientists are in cahoots with one another. Scary.
Collusion
"Hide the Decline"

Why do these scientists need to lie?
Because the Earth has been cooling down for over 10 years

It's Go Time

In an effort to undermine our economy, diminish our freedoms and ensure that every future generation will be beholden to a tyrannical federal government, the Senate is set to vote on a health care bill at 8 o'clock on Saturday night. That's right. The cowards are voting again on Saturday. But we will be paying attention.

202-224-3121

The Bill
2,074 Pages
384,393 Words
That means that it should take each senator 32 hours, 1 minute and 58 seconds to read the entire bill with perfect comprehension and no breaks of any kind. That's assuming, of course, that they can read. I'm starting to wonder.

FYI, you'll be paying a fee so that others can have abortions
yeah. that seems moral.

skeptical? start reading on page 118, line 7.
Stop reading when you vomit.

Approval of Obamacare: Down to 40%
Oooh, or maybe Down to 35%
Disapproval of Obamacare: Up to 52%

They may not have the votes
...unless of course they pay off moderates to the tune of $100 million
...or propagandize the mindless

And you remember that whole deficit neutral thing?
yeah. not so much.

But we still might be able to stop it
let's plead the 10th

Turns out 'Capitalism' didn't produce much capital
that's a shame

Obama's Treasury Department Application:
1) Are you alive?
2) Will you mindlessly hold to liberal principles regardless of fact and logic?
3) Have you ever cheated on your taxes?
If you answered yes on all of these, you're hired.

Glee: All Glenn Beck fans are lazy, unattatched, mean alcoholics

Way to be tolertant, Fox.

Speaking of Beck, the best prez ticket evah?
Palin/Beck

$12,031,299,186,290.07

The national debt today stands at over twelve trillion dollars. Now, I could tell you that that's enough money, in pennies, to stack to to the sun and back more than 6 times. Or that that's enough money to line every mile of every road in the United States with $100 bills end to end; Twice. But it might mean more to you to know that if every American gave their entire net worth (including all assets, equity, savings, etc) it would not be enough to cover our current debt. Yet, somehow we're told by our federal government that we need a trillion-dollar health care takeover and that taxing the rich will pay for it. Don't believe the lie.

Circle What Doesn't Belong

Walpin-gate


Gerald Walpin, one of the hundreds of unfortunate victims of Obama's thug politics, might just be the story that even the mainstream media can't spin in favor of the One. With team obama exploring every 'Chicago way' tactic like the literal shredding of documents to a game of semantics and linguistic gymnastics that even Bill Clinton would be jealous of, they have found that there are people who have chosen to stand up to them. One being Senator Grassley of Iowa. He has stated that if President Obama refuses to hand over all relevant documents, he will continue to block the nomination of CNCS Chairman Alan Solomont as the United States' Ambassador to Spain. Gerald Walpin wants his job back. And it's looking like it just might happen.

"...Mr. Walpin had done nothing wrong. The charges against him were bogus"

Remove the Stupak amendment?
not a good idea, says Stupak

Top ten things that contain the number 46

Happy Veteran's Day


The Stupak Amendment


The Stupak Amendment, which was widely hailed as a victory for conservatives, just might have been what doomed conservatives in regards to the massive government takeover of health care. With several pro-life Democrats on capitol hill positioned to vote no on any bill that contained federal dollars funding abortion, and with virtually every Republican prepared to vote no regardless of the abortion funding amendment, it appears that the bill probably would not have passed had the Stupak amendment not been included.

Meanwhile, many Democrats are not content with their narrow victory in the house but are determined to remove the Stupak amendment from the bill even thought it might kill it. Even Obama is showing signs that he is not happy about the amendment. His spokesman, Robert Gibbs, spent a few minutes refusing to give a strait answer to the simple question regarding the amendment.

Who knows what will happen in the Senate? Most say it's an uphill battle for the bill but we must not fall asleep either way. Hold your representatives accountable.

"Tear Down This Wall"

The Aftermath

Farewell to Freedom

In a surreal Saturday vote, the House of Representatives voted 220-215 to ignore the Constitution, the American people, and reason by passing the bill that will give them full control over one sixth of the American economy. The bill, which is nothing more than a massive government take over of the private sector intended to thoroughly usher out the free market from the United States, will do nothing but deal a death blow to the liberty that made the United States the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. Farewell to freedom.

Pray for our country.
