Will Sen. Clinton fix the mess that she’s made?

Gerald Seib

[I]t is Sen. Clinton who now has the greater ability to ease racial tensions within her party. Arguably, she also has the greater need to do so, for her long-term standing.

Simply stated, her camp is the one now being accused of, or at least implicated in, using the race card.

The most recent assertions came in the form of comments last week by Rep. James Clyburn, a black Democrat from South Carolina, who accused Sen. Clinton and, more pointedly, former President Clinton, of damaging the Democratic Party by using race to political advantage.—Gerald Seib

REP. JAMES CLYBURN INTERVIEWING WITH KEITH OLBERMANN REGARDING THE CLINTON CAUSED DEMOCRAT RACIAL DIVIDE (see video)


Gerald Seib has only one thing right in his assessment of the Clinton caused Racial facture in the Democrat Party that is Sen. Clinton could ease the Racial Tensions if she chooses too, but she won’t.

Hasn’t Mr. Seib noticed that Sen. Clinton campaign is built on only two pillars, one the fact that she is White the other the fact that she is a woman. That’s it. Nobody’s buying that tested and ready shtick. Nobody’s accepting her experience by osmosis claims either.

Just because someone lives in a barn doesn’t mean that they are a tractor, likewise just because Sen. Clinton lived in the White house doesn’t mean that she has somehow intuited the experience to be the chief executive. Yet Sen. Clinton is running her campaign like all that she has to do is cry a little and lie a little and then remind America that Barack Hussein Obama is a Black man, just a little, to win the Democrat nomination.

Sorry Mr. Seib Sen. Clinton isn’t going to give up her only advantage over Sen. Obama just to save the Democrat Party. No, she hasn’t say it, as far as I know, but by her actions you’d swear she’s thinking, “No, no, no God damn the Democrat Party, I’m in it to win it!” à la Rev. Wright’s infamous curse against America.

Speaking of damning when Sen. Clinton was asked just before the Pennsylvania primaries how she would respond if she were president if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear force, Senator Clinton retorted that she would totally obliterate Iran!

Yeah, Sen. Obama knows a little something about being totally obliterated by the Clintons as Robert Scheer of the Huffington Post relates in his “Clinton threatens to obliterate Iran.”

Sen. Clinton's eminently sensible and centrist--to a fault—opponent [Sen. Obama] is now viewed as weak and even vaguely unpatriotic because he is thoughtful. Neither Karl Rove nor Dick Morris could have done a better job.—Robert Scheer

Again sorry Mr. Seib Hillary Clinton is not going to do anything to jeopardize her perceived momentum in this campaign to be the Democrat nominee.

And though it would be beneficial for the Democrat Party for Senator Clinton to repudiate anyone who is basing their vote on the Race of the candidates, not to mention that the Clintons should also apologize for the racial overtones that she and president Clinton have caused, However, you gotta know that anyone who would obliterate Iran is not concerned about a little Racial collateral damage caused by their ambitions to became President!

I’m sure the Clintons feel that they can repair any damage that they’ve caused much later after they’ve won the nomination. After all she is offering Universal Health Care isn't she?

This whole scenario would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

Clintons unleash the Race bomb to blow up Obama

Barack, Hillary and Bill with Black people in happier times

"I think she is destroying the Democratic Party," said New York lawyer Daniel Berger, who had backed Clinton with the maximum allowable donation of $2,300.

"That there's no way for her to win this election except by destroying [Obama], I just don't like it. So in my own little way, I'm trying to send her a message."

The message came in the form of a $2,300 contribution to Obama.—Daniel Berger as reported by Jonathan Weisman and Matthew Mosk of The Washington Post

In the Democrat’s own version of Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Clinton’s “He can’t win” bomb against Sen. Obama is latent with implications that Sen. Obama can’t win because he is Black.

The fact that the Clinton campaign would stoop to direct and indirect race baiting has the Democrat Party fearing that Bill and Hillary Clinton are causing irreparable racial damage to the Party! The fact that our nation dialog has turned to divisive matters of Race indicates that Hillary and Bill Clinton have managed to polarize this country once again only this time along the lines of Race.

Who would have thought that the Clintons who received nearly 100 percent of the Black vote in their respective campaigns, his for Presidency twice and hers twice for her U.S. Senate runs would turn to Race baiting in an, “If I can’t have the Black vote then I’ll make it an albatross for Sen. Obama.” Plainly said the Clintons are Race baiters!

See CBS report on the controversy (after commercial interruption):


Sen. Clinton’s recent Pennsylvania win will no doubt be used to punctuate the claim that Sen. Obama a Black man can’t win the Presidency and provide ammunition for the upcoming North Carolina primaries. Completely disregarding the fact that Pennsylvania was a virtual home state for Sen. Clinton one where her grandfather and father gave the Senator familial ties to the state.

The Black Vote
In addition to that as I previously reported Gov. Ed Rendell a Clinton supporter claimed the reason that Sen. Obama lost in Pennsylvania is because white voters in Pennsylvania are >not ready to vote for a Black candidate.

Ironically, if the same claims had been made by Kanye West a Black rapper who said that President Bush doesn’t like Black people West would have been immediately renounced for being a reverse racist.

When one-fifth of Democratic primary voters admit taking race into account in the ballot booth, it shows the nation still has social hurdles to overcome.

If a candidate's race is as important to some voters as his or her views on the economy, or the cost of health care, then something is being lost in the debate over how to move the country forward.—The Philadelphia Inquirer

So perhaps Gov. Rendell has something to his claim.

It was the Clinton campaign that leaked the Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan links to Sen. Obama in this Presidential campaign yet in 1997 Gov. Ed Rendell praises Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. (see below)


Democrats have made this campaign a confusing mix of gender and Race that apparently even they can’t seem to figure out. Here’s Democrat and Liberal Juan Williams on Fox News, along with most of the Fox News panel, admitting that the Clintons are using divisive tactics of Race in their do anything, say anything campaign to win. (See below)

Unable to beat Obama on delegates and still unlikely to beat him in the popular vote, Hillary Clinton has just one strategy left - to persuade super delegates that Obama is unelectable. She has tried branding him as inexperienced and slick-tongued, and neither of those have worked.

At this stage she has just one argument left: his race. For several months now, her aides have been whispering to whoever would listen that America would never elect a black candidate. In desperation, some are now raising their voices.—Gary Younge, The Guardian

The Clintons have demonstrated an anything to win power no matter what the cost mentality, if Democrats thought that way about protecting America against terrorism and winning the war in Iraq as they do about politics and winning power we would have won the war by now and would be bringing the troops home.

But it seems that the only thing that Democrats have the stomach for is winning with their politics of personal destruction is politics even if the person or persons that they destroy are members of their own party!

Is it because he’s Black?

In the following Hannity and Combs interview with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright it is made apparent to all why Conservatives are having embolic brain infarctions over Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor.

Sean Hannity speaking for all Conservatives made it clear why he doesn’t like Sen. Obama’s church. The reason is Rev. Wright’s church’s emphasis!

You see Trinity United Church of Christ specializes in catering to the Black community.

Black, Black, Black as Hannity, in a very self revealing moment, pointed out as if something were wrong with a Black pastor preaching, teaching and ministering to Black people.

Hannity then attempted to use reverse relativist logic to pose the question, that in like fashion if a church specialized and catered only to the white community would that be considered racist? Mr. Hannity forgets his history!

"It is appalling that the most segregated hour in Christian America is 11 o'clock on Sunday morning."—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King wrote those words in 1958 describing the Sunday Morning Apartheid that was practiced in the United States of America during that time and that continues largely today. An America where for 200 years White congregations and White pastors specialized and catered only to the white communities in which they lived because Blacks where excluded from their neighborhoods, their churches and their day to day lives.

Many people point to what they call the divisive and incendiary language that Rev. Wright uses in his sermons some would even suggest that Rev. Wright is anti-American for some of his sermonizing.

But let us not forget that there was a Christian minister that spoke about love and character in the ways that no one could object too. He spoke about the highest concepts of the constitution of the United States, inclusion and the American life and how everyone should share equally under the true meaning of America’s constitution. And for all of those love filled and inspired words Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered in cold blood by the America that he was attempting to embrace.

When I view the following video I see an arrogant, elitist and ignorant Sean Hannity attempting to force his concepts of Christianity on someone who believes in God and Christ but does not believe in the way that Mr. Hannity’s view of Christianity has manifested itself to the world in the past or presently.

What do you see?



I must tell you that after viewing this piece I am disturbed that in 2008 the Clinton campaign could leak the Rev. Wright tapes into the middle of a presidential campaign for the purpose of inciting racial hatreds in this campaign, thus making it absolutely racially toxic for Sen. Obama. And to think that Conservatives would buy into the Clinton’s deviant plan hook line and sinker because of what, latent hatred of Blacks?

Could it be that Black people were right all along about the present day Conservative party?

Gov. Rendell may have been right all along when he said some white voters in Pennsylvania aren't ready to vote for a black presidential candidate.

In the Democratic primary, 19 percent of all voters said race was an important factor in their decision. And 4 percent of voters said it was the most important factor.

Among this group that acknowledged taking race into consideration, Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama, 59 percent to 41 percent. The Philadelphia Inquirer

So you tell me!

Greek Orthodox Church in Crisis

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of the Holy Land Theofilos III--(AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner)

Secretive real estate deals, hostility to priests, fist fights over Christ's tomb, a power struggle between patriarchs - one of the oldest churches in the Holy Land is struggling to get through a moral and financial crisis, its leader says.--SARAH EL DEEB

Adherents were embarrassed to say they were Orthodox? According to Dimitri Diliani, a church member they were! (see here)

The Orthodox Easter Week, which ends today, was overshadowed again by intra-denominational fighting. On Palm Sunday, Armenian and Greek Orthodox worshippers exchanged blows over rights of worship at Church of the Holy Sepulcher, built on the site where tradition says Jesus was entombed and resurrected.

Also Greek Orthodox patriarch, Irineos I has been ousted and demoted to monk behind what is being referred to as a secret real estate deal that favored Israel in the eastern part of Jerusalem.

Allegedly the patriarch leased two church-owned hotels in traditionally Arab east Jerusalem to groups trying to expand a Jewish presence there. The deal enraged his predominantly Palestinian flock, because Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future state.

Theofilos III succeeded Irineos I after Irineos’ ouster in 2005. But not until last December was he formally recognized by the three governments in the Holy Land - Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. This Easter was the first in which he has led the rites unchallenged.

Theofilos oversees an ever decreasing congregation as Christianity is ever diminishing in the East being replaced by Islam. A fact that continues to leave the Orthodox Church in crisis.

Religion of What????

So what is this “religion of love”, that is defended
to the death........... of not only the participants,
but of innocent bystanders?

Forget everything that you ever thought or heard about
Islam................ it is NOT the peaceful religion
that they pretend it to be.

Remember............ theirs is the “”only true”
religion in their warped minds, all other claims to the contrary.............. you will be Muslim or you will be
dead!!!!!

Take a very close look at this.........................
http://liveprayer.com/fitna.cfm , and then talk “peace
and love”, with a religion that puts out “hits” on anyone
exposing this false religion for what it is!

Global Stravation: The imminent global food crisis

Photo by tlindenbaum

The United Nations Food Agency said that rising food prices threatened to plunge 100 million people across the world into hunger.-- Steve Hawkes, Greg Hurst and Valerie Elliott

“This is the new face of hunger — the millions of people who were not in the urgent hunger category six months ago but now are.” -- Josette Sheeran, head of the UN’s World Food Programme, Timesonline

Global Starvation as I've previously discussed is a man-made phenomenon. Unlike the crisis of Global warming/Climate change which may or may not be man-made and even so man can do little to nothing about we can do something about man’s world markets and globalization policies which are what is causing the recent rationing of rice and other world food staples.

SIGNS POINT TO AMERICA’S DECLINE

Speaking at the 2002 World Congress on the Peaceful Reunification of China and World Peace in Sydney, Mr Clinton said this "brief moment in history" when the US had pre-eminent military, economic and political power, would not last.

"This is just a period, a few decades this will last, and I think that all of us who are Americans should think about this and ask ourselves how do we wish this moment to be judged 50 years from now," he said.—The Canberra Times

It’s finally here, the day that Bill Clinton predicted six years ago while speaking at the 2002 World Congress on the Peaceful Reunification of China and World Peace in Sydney Australia. His comments escaped many Americans at that time but nobody is going miss the results of his words as they are coming true right before our eyes.

Clinton forecasted America’s decline. A military, economic and political meltdown that sounds an awful lot like what we’re just beginning to experience in America today.

One has to wonder what he knew exactly. Nevertheless it is becoming painfully obvious that he did know something. The fact is America is in an economic decline. The Euro is replacing the dollar in strength and value, six years of war has placed a crippling toll on the U.S. military, oil and gas prices are the highest that they’ve ever been, the U.S. economy is in recession , banks have caused a world-wide credit crisis and now there is a food shortage.

By and large the one threat that is more imminent than the war on terrorism, Global warming/Climate Change, rising gas prices, the sinking dollar, and the credit/mortgage crisis is Globalization in general and specifically attempting to control food supplies by world markets.

In 1996 the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization was already calling for globalization of world food supplies when it cited that 40 countries faced food shortages since then world food supplies are governed by global commodity markets.

Commodity markets Investors buy sell and trade the food that is produced by farmers and according to this trading the price and availability of food is determined.

Farmers and food executives appealed fruitlessly to federal officials yesterday for regulatory steps to limit speculative buying that is helping to drive food prices higher.

Meanwhile, some Americans are stocking up on staples such as rice, flour and oil in anticipation of high prices and shortages spreading from overseas.—Patrice Hill

There are all sorts of markets on which anything from gasoline to carbon credits can be traded, bought and sold. These markets affect supply and cost and can artificially drive the cost up or create an artificial shortage.

However because of World Trade Organization treaties no country any longer has the authority to keep it’s own food supply all food supplies must be available for the world markets according to Canadian Wayne Roberts’ 2006 article, “Grain Drain” found in the Energy Bulletin.

Turns out that if massive disaster strikes, there's enough in the global cupboard to keep people alive on basic grains for 57 days. Two months of survival food is all that separates us from mass starvation due to drought, plagues of locusts and other pests, or the wars and violence that disrupt farming, all of which are more plentiful than food.

And since the World Trade Organization prohibits government intervention that keeps any items off the free trade ledger, there's no law that says Canadians, or any other people, get first dibs on their own food production.--Wanye Roberts

The best known example of this market manipulation was The Enron Corporation that manipulated market prices on electricity by creating artificial shortages thus putting many businesses out of business by artificially driving the price of electricity up thus making it impossible for many small businesses to operate. Enron destroyed many lives through its market exploitation.

Market forces that are similar are at work in everything from Global warming/Climate Change to Business and Banking and are now at work governing your food supply. As more and more countries become less self reliant, not growing their own food supplies, they become more susceptible to supply and demand forces that create shortages as in the Enron example just cited. This Americans is Free Trade!

This is a warning to Americans of what’s in store for us all if we allow our government to give in to the proponents of Kyoto 2 and Global warming profiteers such as Albert Arnold Gore Jr. these entities intend to consolidate power over our economy by cap and trade markets that are meant to regulate CO2 emissions however the reality is if they are allowed the power to levy any kind of tax on the United States they become a de facto unelected governing body over the United States.

WHY IS OUR FOOD SUPPLY IN JEOPARDY?

Experts told The Times yesterday that prices of rice, wheat and vegetable oil would rise further. They also forecast that high prices and shortages — which have caused riots in developing countries such as Bangladesh and Haiti — were here to stay, and that the days of cheap produce would not return.

Food-price inflation has already pushed up a typical family’s weekly shopping bill by 15 per cent in a year.—Steve Hawkes, Greg Hurst and Valerie Elliott

The rice, grain and food shortages are a result the Globalization of world markets combined with using food supplies to create alternative renewable fuel solutions as an answer to Global warming. Both of these practices, Globalization and growing food to burn for energy, are detrimental to humanity and most be stopped.

If there isn’t enough food the very least of our worries is Global warming/Climate Change!

Clinton wins at Home

Sen. Clinton in a self congratulatory moment(Photo/Carolyn Kaster)

Amid brisk turnout, Clinton won a victory that many polls had predicted and which the New York senator had to have.—Bill Nichols

Sen. Clintonwins! But wait a minute wasn’t she supposed to?

That’s right Sen. Clinton was supposed to win Pennsylvania. She has familial ties there and has been projected to win there since March by a 12 point lead no less. Last night in her victory speech she invoked her father and her grandfather, who use to work in a Pennsylvania mill (much like Sen. Edwards’ mill worker father), names as testament that she was one of them a bitter, religious, gun hugging small town girl who’s made it big.

Ich bin ein Pennsylvanian!

So why all of the hoopla? It’s the continuation of the fairly tale the classic victim card Sen. Clinton is portraying herself as the underdog the poor little white woman running against that big Black man with those good speeches and all that money.

If you remember Sen. Clinton at the beginning of this campaign was the candidate of inevitability she was supposed to win, she was destined to win and she was going to win not just the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania but she was supposed to win 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, too.

So why are Democrats acting as if they are surprised that Sen. Clinton won the state of Pennsylvania? In a word perception.

The Clintons understand all to well that everything is about perception. Nothing is real unless they say that it is real. Sniper fire now that was real, Clinton real!

It’s what President Bill Clinton says about what is, is! Tell him what you think is, is and he’ll take your is, redefine it and tell you what is really is! Whew!

It is totally the defining of reality by crafty lawyerly wordsmithing in which a step off of a curb is not really that at all, no a step off of a city curb becomes a multimillion dollar law suit against the city for neglecting to maintain potholes.

So whether it’s sniper fire over Bosnia or celebrating a Pennsylvania victory, that was hers to lose in the first place, the perception must be that she is the come back kid who traversed dangers and fought off the advances of a Black man even though all that he was after was her voting constituents.

It also struck me as odd that a political contest in which Democrats, the exemplars of gender and racial equality, where in fact voting along gender and racial lines. Does gender and race matter for progressive inclusive Democrats who are above their rival’s the prejudice, sexist Republicans? Apparently it does!

In some of the exit polling voters where suggesting that gender or race didn’t matter but than wasn’t supported by the actual voting and in addition to that isn’t the media overly concerned with how the vote is playing out demographically this elect? Is it hot in here or is it only me?

In other words I’m I the only one who sees the irony of this? Democrats no matter how they portray themselves are just as prejudice and sexist as anyone else!

The Clinton campaign was wise to play the race and gender cards in Pennsylvania along with the Ich bin ein Pennsylvanian card of Sen. Clinton’s father and grandfather. Those tactics won Sen. Clinton the day.

As the Clinton’s would say a win is a win no matter by what percentage, no matter what is, is and no matter if they exacerbate and inflame gender and racial volatiles in America on their way back to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. And apparently Pennsylvanians agree.

Iago and Hillary have much in common

Eleanor Clift

On the day of the Pennsylvania primary I thought this Eleanor Clift piece appropriately tells the story of the Democrat Party’s Shakespearean like tragedy. It is a tale of deceit gender and Race that rivals even the telling of Othello.

Likewise, this fateful Democrat tale of Orwellian-Machiavellianism is what inspires this blog and Clift unknowingly gives us a very candid look into the state of mind of Liberal partisan Democrats. A mind of doublethink where one can hold two diametrically opposite ideas at the same time and accept both of them as true much as Hillary Clinton did in her most excellent Bosnia Sniper Fire Adventure.

George Orwell coined the term doublethink in his classic novel 1984. Doublethink is the power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accept both of them.

Likewise, Sen. Clinton’s campaign has been absolutely unscrupulous and dishonest. In a word they have been Machiavellian in their use of political manipulation placing expediency above morality in her attempt to use deceit to gain the presidency.

Poignantly the ultra-partisan Clift assesses the Democratic primaries race as a lose, lose situation instead of the “It’s the Democrat’s Year to Win.” Which we have recently become accustomed to hearing about for going on a year. Clift relates as much in her Newsweek piece, “The Damage is Done.”

In it unwillingly Ms. Clift’s piece blames Hillary Clinton for the lost prospects of the Democrat Party.

But it’s not that easy to decipher. Going through the reasoning of a Liberal who’s just realized that the promise of Sen. Clinton’s inevitability is in fact a losing inevitability, not the winning inevitability as promised is clouded to say the least. Clift seems to struggle with the idea that winning has once again slipped through the fingers of her fellow Partisans.

According to Clift, like presidential hopeful, Al Gore before her, Sen. Clinton has hung on much too long and has caused a damaged and divided party. In the 2000 presidential race Gore divided the entire nation while destroying the unity of this Nation. According to Clift Sen. Clinton has virtually ruined Democrats chances of winning the presidency this year as well.

Surprisingly Clift condones what she believes is a lie told by Senate Clinton when the Senator answered Yes, yes, yes when asked if she thought that Senator Obama was qualified to be President. Clift calls it a, “Right move” even if she (Sen. Clinton) didn’t mean it.

Ironic for someone who’s called George Bush a liar a thousand times if once, Ms. Clift doesn’t seem to mind the fact of Sen. Clinton’s “Right move.”

Ms. Clift relates what must be unpleasant facts for her like Sen. Clinton is polling at a 50% negative rate and due to the scorched earth tactics of the politics of personal destruction used against Sen. Obama which Sen. Clinton would have normally used against Republicans both candidates are halt and maimed at this point.

Ms. Clift concludes cautiously hopeful yet resigned;

Unless Hillary can surprise us once again, repeating the triumph she had in Ohio when Pennsylvanians go to the polls, Rove is likely to have Obama to kick around. The Philadelphia debate didn't do anything to help either candidate, and quite possibly hurt them both, but we are slowly evolving toward a result that seems increasingly inevitable: Obama as a Democratic nominee whose vulnerabilities boost chances of a Republican victory in the fall.

Imagine that ultra-partisan Eleanor Clift contemplating a Republican victory in the fall. Shakespeare couldn’t have written this tragic tale any better.

Iago wasn’t above stabbing his Moor in the back to get what he desired and neither is Sen. Clinton!

Here’s hoping that all of Ms. Clift’s fears are realized! Go vote Pennsylvania!

Environmental Fascism

Time calls green "the new red, white and blue" and likens global warming to the fight against Nazism and fascism. As it insults World War II vets, the magazine seeks to impose a tyranny all its own.—Investor’s Business Daily

I had the privilege of seeing Ben Stein’s “Expelled, No intelligence allowed” this past weekend. Mr. Stein’s work is a remarkable documentary which exposes the Scientific Fascism that currently poses as academic science in this country a Fascism that easily lends itself to the Global warming/ Climate Change scientific community as I will show in a moment.

In the film Mr. Stein shows that academia has held up Darwinism as a Dogma which can not be questioned but under penal of harsh reprisal, which is an unscientific position within itself. Furthermore Mr. Stein documents several college professors who have actually lost their jobs at major universities for exploring alterative explanations for life which Darwin doesn’t explain.



The result, any credible Academic that does question Darwinism in the least degree is ostracized removed from any teaching pursuits and his or her career is destroyed. Academic Fascism!

It is this same hard Left fascist attitude that permeates the advocacy of Global warming. The purveyors of “Global warming/Climate change”(GW/CC) intend to force their theories on the world by law and by taxation, it’s already happening anyone who disagrees with GW/CC is labeled a “denier” in reference of those who deny the realness of the Holocaust, the extermination of Jews by Nazi Germany.

Investors Business Daily called the recent cover of Times (above) and the article which it proceeds it a TIME BOMB of radical confused Global Warmist and Environmentalist concerns with which radicals are attempting to compromise the best recognized images of actual passed global dangers by equating their GW/CC current agenda driven social plans of indoctrination and efforts of highly propagandized social change with the atrocities of the historical pass.

"As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning."-- Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic

First of all Global warming/Climate change is not as great a threat as Nazism, Communism or Fascism and neither is GW/CC the same as environmental concerns that are typically associated with energy saving measures such as recycling, new clean energy, and other “Green” movement pursuits. These two totally different concepts were just recently confused in order to deceive honest caring people who actually wish to protect our environment and planet.

In the Green movement there are actual solutions that can help clean our environment and save energy or find alterative fuel solutions.

In contrast the Global warming/Climate change movement (GW/CC) is a geo-political movement which underlying purpose is not the decreasing of CO2 gases in the atmosphere as many of you suppose, no the actual purpose of advocating GW/CC is to create a cap and trade market mechanism similar to the present day stock market which world nations and people will be forced into and taxed from thus creating a new tax base from which to enslave the world community.

GW/CC promoters will be able to also purchase credits or rights to continue to emit carbons into the atmosphere themselves as long as they pay for it.

No, let me repeat, no actual CO2 reduction will take place under Global warming/Climate change!

Yet like Darwinism, Global warming/Climate change has been accepted by the authorities whether real or not, or whether proven or not and anyone who attempts to raise questions or discussion concerning GW/CC is set upon by fascist forces within the Global warming movement. Forces that stand to make usurious profits on unearned forced world taxation in like fashion of the Federal Reserve System.

Al Gore explains that he intends to impose an “environmental tax” or carbon tax which could partially or fully replace income taxes. What that means is taxation without representation! By replace I simply mean that you will still pay taxes but only to a new master the Environmental police of some sort or some like Orwellian Agency.

Some un-elected and unaccountable body of environmental regulators would be in control of imposing taxes of the American people and the people of the world.

Hey, isn’t that one of the reasons that Americans fought the revolutionary war against Great Britain? Yet, here’s Al Gore suggesting that very taxation scheme. (See below)



So how would Mr. Gore’s taxation without representation scheme or Carbon tax work? Here’s Kenneth Green of the American Enterprise Institute attempting to explain cap and trade and carbon taxes which will inevitability be forced on the American people and the world community.




Is that clear now? Clear as mud right! One thing that should be extremely clear to you is the impeding GW/CC catastrophe is not going to happen environmentally but the GW/CC taxation catastrophe which will enslave the people of the world by taxation without representation is going to happen as certain and you and I exhale Carbon Dioxide!

Al Gore Is Right

Al Gore, at the TED corp.

About Global warming/Climate change? No. Gore announced that the debate about GW/CC is over he is right about that. Gore's piped piper like arguments has the whole world following and the latest addition to his list of devotees is President Bush.

President Bush has recently announced that his administration wants Congress to pass a law to fight Global warming.

Bush administration officials have told Republicans in Congress that they feel pressure to act now [on Global warming legislation] because they fear a coming regulatory nightmare.--Stephen Dinan

This regulatory nightmare is a world carbon tax that will be imposed on industrial nations by the United Nations backed by profiteers who stand to make trillions of dollars from taxing world economies and changing world energy consumption to sources that these profiteers control.

Instead of Bush challenging Gore's premise as mounting scientific evidence shows that Global warming as Al Gore is presenting it is all wrong, President Bush caves, in "go along to get along" fashion .

Following is a February 2008 presentation that Al Gore gave to the TED corporation it is about 27 minutes long. In it are the usual Global warming doomsday scenarios however about 15 minutes into this pitch to “raise the consciousness” of the world Mr. Gore admits that he is profiting and that he stands to profit a great deal from these initiatives as the whole world starts to comply.

Gore’s final thought is with you the American people and your Congress. His wish is to strip out all opposition in Congress to his plans to change the world and he cites the very plan used to accomplish that in Australia with the newly elected administration there. He also notes that all three current U.S. presidential hopefuls are on board with his program.

President Bush’s about face on this issue is a warning that World Carbon taxes are inevitable no matter if the science of Global warm is wrong the consensus is to be followed. And now Al Gore making his case. And note from the very beginning he wishes to control worldwide behavior. (please play video)

There are a lot of great investments you can make. If you are investing in tar sands, or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub-prime carbon assets.

And it is based on an old model. Junkies find veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and their legs collapse. Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense.

I have a stake in these so I’ll have a disclaimer there. But geo-thermal concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency, and conservation. – Al Gore

As Gore spoke these words, pictures of electric cars, windmills and solar panels appeared in multiple slides on the screen with company names at the bottom such as Amyris (biofuels), Altra (biofuels), Bloom Energy (solid oxide fuel cells), Mascoma (cellulosic biofuels), GreatPoint Energy (catalytic gasification), Miasole (solar cells), Ausra (utility scale solar panels), GEM (battery operated cars), Smart (electric cars), and AltaRock Energy (geothermal power).

As such, like an investment advisor or stock broker giving a seminar to prospects and clients, Al Gore was actively recommending people put money in companies he already has a financial stake in.

And, as he tours the world demanding nations stop burning fossil fuels, he will financially benefit if they follow his advice and move to technologies that he has already invested in. -- Noel Sheppard

Least you forget Global warm/Climate change is really about Global money, Global profiteering, Global taxes and Global control over people that’s what I hear when I listen to Al Gore, what are you hearing?

Obama Needs a Better Memory!

I just heard on the news that Barack Obama has
criticized former President Jimmy Carter, for meeting
with the leaders of Hamas!

Obviously he is annoyed at this development, since he
wanted to be the first to meet with terrorist groups
such as Hamas, al Qaeda and the like.

Wasn't that part of his "platform" a couple of months
ago?......to meet with our terrorist enemies, in order
to bring closure to the mid-East problems with these
redical groups?

He not only lies through his teeth, he waffles from
one side of the issue to the other.

I cannot believe the stupidity of those who are backing
this fraud!

brooklyn

He Deserves It!

Al.............. that debate, or whatever you choose to
call it, was an expose of Barack Obama, a man who pretended
to be someone that he certainly isn’t!

Those horses ARE, Wright, Ayers, Farrakhan, the
Million Man March, saluting the American Flag, and a host
of other issues that have neither been completely addressed,
nor sufficiently explained by Obama. They will continue
being the millstones around his neck..... right through the
upcoming elections, should he be the chosen Democratic
candidate.

As the those political issues that both Hillary and Barack
seemed to somewhat agree on............ their promises show
that neither of them is qualified to lead this country. Any
sitting president, who is determined to totally disregard the
advice of the commanding generals, at a time of war, and
recall an ever succeeding army home, is an idiot at best.

As for the “no new taxes on the middle class if elected”,
claim....... how closely were you watching their definition of
“middle-class”? If the Democrats in Congress allow the
Bush tax cuts to expire, and they don’t kill the AMT, anyone
making more than $50M per year, is in for the largest tax
increase in history. Enough to bring on the most severe
recession ever experienced in the US.

Time to stop waving the Obama flag Al........... and let Hillary
loose on him. She is just echoing the feelings of most of the
electorate, and he deserves everything that he is getting, after
having deceived everyone, as to exactly who this Barack Obama
really is. Once he is out of the way, she and McCaine can battle
it out to the finish. I have no doubt of the outcome of that contest..

Ripping Obama

Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama

Senator Barack Obama found himself consistently on the defensive as he and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton met Wednesday night in a tense debate that left him parrying questions and criticism on issues including values, patriotism and his association with onetime radicals from the 1960s.-- ADAM NAGOURNEY and JEFF ZELENY

I tuned in expecting a debate last night between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama but instead the program that was on was Barack Obama’s extremities tied by rope to two horses that were pulling in opposite directions until Obama was ripped part. A debate this wasn’t. This was more like Obama being tortured at Abu Ghraib.

The team of ex-Clinton White house adviser George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson both ABC affiliates where the horses while Sen. Clinton was in cool command of the whip of personal destruction which she used unrelentingly to prod her two horses into directions that kept Sen. Obama stretched to the limits all night with limbs about to be pull away from his six foot frame. If given his druthers I’m sure Obama would have preferred water boarding to this piling on of Hillary shills.

Mangled words, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, and the American Flag, most of which were Clinton smears (with the exception of the American Flag) brought to bear on Obama in this formal setting giving the smears even more legitimacy. One could see Sen. Obama wilting under the Clinton offensive with shots of Chelsea Clinton in the audience for good measure adding to that subliminal pro-Clinton ABC touch.

There were two salient points in the midst of this Obama Abu Ghraib session. One, both candidate vowed to withdraw troops from Iraq no matter what their Generals and Commanders advised if they were President and two, both candidates vowed no new taxes on the middle class if elected.

Other than those two points it was definitely an all out effort to sway Super delegates and Pennsylvanians to kept Sen. Clinton in the race for the presidency.

Yet I don’t think that Sen. Clinton baggage statement is a very good selling point if she intended to impress Super delegates and Pennsylvanians.

“I have a lot of baggage, and everybody has rummaged through it for years, and so therefore, I have, you know, an opportunity to come to this campaign with a very strong conviction and feeling that I will be able to withstand whatever the Republican sends our way.”—Sen. Hillary Clinton

Fact is Sen. Clinton it is your kind of baggage that we would do well to rid Washington of at the earliest opportunity that we can afford.

Other than show us the entire Democrat playbook this airing of Democrat dirty laundry did nothing to enhance either Democrat candidate’s standing in my opinion.

And then there was Sen. Clinton’s Yes, yes, yes, in response to the question would Sen. Obama be qualified to lead this nation as president, Sen. Clinton don't you realize that that type of blantant reversal still shows your propensity for lying.

What, after all that she has been saying about Sen. Obama’s lack of qualifications to be president she now all of a sudden believes that he is qualified?

In spite of all of the help from ABC in last night’s pile on and torture Obama, Sen. Clinton you still have not given the American people a reason to trust you or entrust you with the most powerful job in the world.

And for Democrats and ABC this pro-Hillary showing was a big No, no, no!

Skewing the News!

Time after time the MSM and the likes of CNN and CNBC, bend
the news to make their leftist points.

The much despised "Christian coalition" FOX NEWS put out a
straight-forward news story about Pope Benedict's XVI's trip to
the US. They stated on their broadcast that "President Bush
welcomes Pope Benedict with a State Dinner. Simple, unadorned and
truthful reporting.

Not to be outdone, CNN brings it down to their usual gutter level, with, "White House justifies LAVISH dinner for Pope!"
What kind of crapola is this? Are these people so into themselves
that everything that isn't falling off the left coast, is
something that has to be questioned or justified?

You want justification CNN??? Pope Benedict XVI happens to be a
Head of State........ just the same as our President is, Queen Elizabeth is, and Putin was. So take your stupid gripe, along with
your bent view of political relations, and stuff it!

I noticed that you haven't tried justifying former President
Jimmy Carter's foolhardy and traitorous trip to meet with the leaders of Hamas!

The Pope’s Visit

America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.— attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America by Sherwood Eddy, The Kingdom of God and the American Dream, chapter 1, p. 6 (1941)

In the 19th Century a French foreign visitor by the name of Alexis de Tocqueville came to America in an attempt to assess why America was so vibrantly healthy, successful and prosperous. He produced a tome one of the great works of American literature entitled, “Democracy in America” in which he dissected every aspect of American life looking for the answer to his question. In it he said, “The Americans combine the notions of religion and liberty so intimately in their minds that it is impossible to make them conceive of one without the other.” Well a lot has change since de Tocqueville’s visit.

In this the 21st Century Pope Benedict XVI comes to America to assess what is the failing of religion in America. The demonizing of Christianity in America has weakened the Church and the persecution of Christianity in America is just short of some of the more odious anti-religious regimes in current history. Of course the gaiety of a White house welcome is intended to blunt these realities but it won’t be successfully done.

The media has already lined up the running narrative of what will be negative coverage of the papal visit. It has to because what the Pope stands for is so diametrically polar opposite of what America has become and what the media stands for.

Of course the Church has aided in its own persecution by allowing itself the indulgence of sexual perversion and molestation.

In this the Church seems to have reversed its gospel command, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,’ (Romans 12:2) and has became a secularized and marginalized “also ran” in the eclectic mix of poly- philosophic belief systems that make up the United States in the 21st Century.

For de Touqueville religion in America was a given reality. The only question was which form of Christianity was the most influential in this country.

I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there … in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there … in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there … in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there.

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.--Attributed to ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE by Dwight D. Eisenhower in his final campaign address in Boston, Massachusetts, November 3, 1952.

For Pope Benedict he will find an American people on the whole ignorant of their Christian heritage and in rebellion against Christian tenets and teachings. Benedict will find superficial Christians who rather sequester themselves behind the four walls of their Churches rather than follow the Great Commission of “go and teach” or Apostle Paul’s edict to, “give everyman a reason for the hope that is within you”

Benedict will find love and total acceptance from the adherents of his faith but a cold austere rebuke is waiting if the Pontiff ventures into the kingdoms that were once offered to the Messiah if He but bow down. Those kingdoms are reserved for the secular real world that religion has no business in, a world in which the Pope or religion really ought not mettle.

Alexis de Tocqueville would not recognize the America which Pope Benedict XVI is visiting today.

For the Mayor of Phoenix!

Trust Either Government or Corporate Business?

Bilderberg’s head Viscount Davignon. Does this man control the world?

Every year since 1954, a small network of rich and powerful people have held a discussion meeting about the state of the trans-Atlantic alliance and the problems facing Europe and the US.
Organised by a steering committee of two people from each of about 18 countries, the Bilderberg Group (named after the Dutch hotel in which it held its first meeting) brings together about 120 leading business people and politicians. –BBC News

I heard an argument the other day which thesis was that Business should be trusted over government. The idea being advanced was we need limited government on the one hand and free trade on the other in order for the United State to effectively compete in this global market. This argument was put forward by a very famous Conservative who is just as wrong about this topic as he is famous.

First the question is not whether we can trust one, government or business, above the other we can not. Both are equally worthy of our disdain. In this much I agree with Sen. John McCain, corporate power should be curtailed.

What is clear is that our founding fathers had a disdain for government. What is apparently unclear is why they did. The founders realized that consolidated power in whichever form it took, government or religion, would be ultimately used against the people. What the founders did not see coming was the entity that we face, unregulated and unrestrained global corporate power. And (here)

That notwithstanding is why they took great pains to warn us against government and that is why they invented the checks and balances of a triadic form of government. The intention was to keep power from consolidating into any one branch of government. In addition, the vote of the people was instituted to ensure that this government would be answerable to the people.

Therefore, Government can be feared slightly less than business because there are these mechanisms in place to make government somewhat responsive to the people and government must comply, if only for appearance sake, to the vote of the people whereas unlike government there is relatively nothing that citizens can do to make business heed the will of the people.

"If we will not endure a king as a political power we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life."—John Sherman

And don’t trot out the idea that market forces control business. Business has made it it’s business to control market forces as well, business has made it it's business to control governments as I will attempt to argue.

I have previously argued that everything that is wrong with America today can be laid at the feet of Corporations.

Everything that is wrong in America today can be blamed on an out-of-control corporate environment that will do anything and everything for the sake of the bottom line. Profit!—Alaphiah

It was the Oil Corporations that made billionaires and trillionaires in the middle east therefore these Corporations are directly and indirectly responsible for the rise of Islamic terrorism, the war in Iraq, secret Saudi manipulations and funding of terrorists, a brazen Iran and an out of control Venezuela.

Oil revenues provided by corporations have lead to the undermining of the Western way of live through the Middle East control of oil prices and have set the stage for an upcoming mother of all jihads, battle of economic power between the West and the East.

Without the oil revenues that corporations made possible Islamist would still be running around in the Middle Eastern deserts waging tribal wars against one another instead of the global terrorism that we are daily forced to contend with.

With only regard for their own enrichment Oil Corporations have put the world in grave danger by placing the world economic power in the oil reserves of the Middle East thus changing the balance of economic power from the West to the East.

As testament to this even as you read this the U.S. dollar is being replace by the Euro which in turn will be replaced by what ever currency that oil enriched nations decide will benefit their objectives, business and otherwise, of world domination.

In addition to the just mentioned Middle Eastern investors and bankers are buying up U.S. debt placing the United States in the power of foreign creditors. This is a world that unregulated and unrestrained corporations have created not government!

America is in the last throes of a decadent sexualized wanton hedonistic consumer driven society in which value is only placed in how much money one can make and/or what one can eat, wear, play with and have sexual relationship with for the moment.

It is corporations that have worked hard to appeal to our most debased appetites in effort to condition us to buy their latest little i-phone or i-pod bobble which to entertain ourselves to death with while simultaneously increasing their bottom line.

Every aspect of one’s life is now controlled by Corporations what you hear, what you watch where you work or if you work. America is truly at the mercy of corporate power.

And we allow these controlling corporate bodies to virtually manipulate every aspect of our lives from who to vote for to which automobile to purchase. From health care, HMO’s and Pharmaceuticals unregulated and unrestrained corporations are the cause for the economic woes of the United States of America.

"The combined profits for the ten drug companies in the Fortune 500 ($35.9 billion) were more than the profits for all the other 490 businesses put together ($33.7 billion).

Over the past two decades the pharmaceutical industry has moved very far from its original high purpose of discovering and producing useful new drugs. Now primarily a marketing machine to sell drugs of dubious benefit, this industry uses its wealth and power to co-opt every institution that might stand in its way, including the US Congress, the FDA, academic medical centers, and the medical profession itself."-- Marcia Angell, M.D.

Last, but certainly not least, how is the world food supply holding up? Well since control of the world’s food supply has fallen under corporate control even food is being mismanaged.

Food is being genetically altered or becoming scarce because of use for biofuels either of which has exposed and left vulnerable world food supplies.

From food to energy and to medicine unregulated and unrestrained corporate business have remained unaccountable for all of the world-wide disasters that they have caused.

How anyone can argue that government should be limited with respect to controlling corporations is beyond me and not to mention that thought is not in line with concepts of liberty and freedom and certainly not in line with what is best for America.

No protecting American on his watch

Phil Gordon, Mayor of Phoenix Arizona

Phil Gordon, Mayor of Phoenix Arizona is an enemy of the United States of America. Why? Mayor Gordon is using the United States’ own laws and it’s Constitution against it in order to help foreign nationals in their goal to reconquer Azlan.

What is Azlan? Here’s is what Phoenix news.com had to say about it, and here’s some commentary from La Indymedia.org regarding a threat against a La Raza school in Los Angeles which the writer believes is because of the white man’s fear of Azlan philosophy. Better yet here’s a student MeCHA club at Western Oregon University giving the history of Azlan. Finally here Pat Buchanan warning back in 1996 as reported by Drudge about the plan to reconquer Azlan. Read and decide for yourself.

Mayor Gordon has asked the FBI to interfere and intercede against Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the only elected sworn official of Phoenix who is attempting to protect the United States.

The Mayor is attempting to prevent the sheriff from protecting the United States from those who would violate her immigration laws.

ICE officials say Arpaio is not violating the formal agreement he has with their office that allows sheriff's deputies to enforce immigration laws.

In an April 4 letter to U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Mayor Phil Gordon asked the agency and the Justice Department's civil rights division to examine what he called discriminatory harassment and improper stops, searches, and arrests by sheriff's deputies in Maricopa County, which encompasses the metropolitan area.

Yet Mayor Gordon and the U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey are conspiring against the United States of America claiming phony civil rights violations against Sheriff Arpaio in an effort to aid and abet foreign nationals who violate immigration laws.

Can you believe it? In this topsy-turvy world of civil rights for foreign nationals and public officials who act to enforce these false rights, it is the citizens of the United States who are being cheated of their rights by these actions.

Mayor Gordon and U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey should be immediately thrown out of office and Sheriff Arpaio should be supported and commended.

Enough of the anti-Americanism from public officials, down with Gordon and Mukasey and down with elected officials who violate the spirit and letter of the law in attempts to destroy this union.

What Will it Take?

I can't believe that the liberals are still sucking their Kool-aid!

What has to happen before they believe that this Obama is a fraud? He presented himself as a "uniter" (he figured it worked for Bush) but has never reached across the aisle, except for a couple of bills that he thought would help his image.

What kind of a President would he make? He doesn't salute our flag, he won't wear the small American flag pin on his lapel, he associates with known terrorists and a "Reverend" who insults the spirit of Christianity. How dumb can the American voter be?

I don't care what people call me.......... racist, bigot, etc. I call the shots as I see them............ and let the chips fall where they may. Obama can attempt to explain away his associations, but when you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.

"Reverend Wright" was his pastor, confidant, friend and counselor for some 23 years. He married the Obamas and christened their two children. Over this period of years, not a short time I might add, Barack had dozens of opportunities to discover just what a bigotted, racist, unpatriotic man Wright is................ and yet, he continued his close association. Does anyone really believe that he had no idea of where the "Reverend" was coming from?

First........ when the news about Wright broke, Obama played typical politician, and disclaimed any knowledge of the vitriolic sermons......stating
that had he known of them, he most certainly would have expressed his
dissatisfaction to his mentor. I don't believe that for one minute!

As the facts would have it, when he found himself caught in a lie (not a small one, I might add), he spoke publically at length, but somehow managed to turn the conversation toward race, and just skirted the real issue. This outcry wasn't about race............. though Wright is definitely
a racist............ but about pride in country and patriotism. We all had to suffer through Obama's labored explanations, even involving his grandmother, who was described as a "typical white person". One thing that was conveniently left out, was an open and honest explanation of why he had lied about sitting in the church hearing those sermons, in the first place. But I guess he figured that he had masked the whole situation with the race-bait. The really amazing part of this is, that Obama, the DNC, the Democratic strategists, and most of the liberal MSM, just can't understand why we keep revisiting this situation. What part of lies and deceit don't any of them understand?

Now, as more comes to light over Obama's "friendship" with the organizer of the "weathermen", who has a total lack of remorse over the bombings at the Capital, NYC Police Headquarters, and other government facilities...... those same lame-brains are wondering why people are getting upset once again. This is even a more serious situation than the Wright controversy, and is going to require a lot more detailed explaining.

I want to know just how "friendly" Obama and Ayers really are..... and what Obama really thinks about his participation in these terrorist operations. I also will not feel completely comfortable, until an in-depth investigation of Obama is done. On the surface, his wife seems cold and uncaring.... in spite of the fact that she had the benefit of attending the best schools in the world, received her degrees, became an attorney, and earns well into the six figures each year.

And THIS is the first time that she is proud of her country?..... only because her husband is in the Democratic primaries??? Where was she when we caused the collapse of one of the most oppressive regimes in history, the Soviet Union, where was she when we were feeding, clothing and protecting million around the globe?......... where was she when they were teaching American history? She got hung up on slavery in America, and still hasn't gotten past that. In her thesis, she states that she is FIRST AND FOREMOST BLACK............ and THEN everything else. She should be an American, who happens to be black. But then, I guess that she got to where she is BECAUSE she is black, and had the benefit of Affirmative Action. So she made it all about race!

For the reasons above,............ I am totally uncomfortable with the idea of an Obama presidency. I hope that the American people will see through this sham, and vote according to their own brains and hearts.

Please turn the Global warming up ‘cause it’s Cold

Will someone turn the Global warming up ‘cause its Cold! I’m never amazed at how gullible people are. Sure we all are concerned about our environment and our planet but to allow people to use our concerns against us in this Global warming/Climate change scheme indicates that people in general have lost the ability to reason when so many people are assaulting reason on the topic of Global warming/Climate change.

You’ve probably heard that Los Angeles that bastion of common sense, logic and reason is considering imposing a Global warming tax on its citizens. Oh you haven’t heard?

Well its billed as a "climate change mitigation and adaptation fee,” it targets LA motorist and according to the Orange County Register it would cost motorists either an additional 3 percent motor fuel tax, or up to a $90 annual flat fee, based on vehicle emissions. The new charges would be on top of taxes already paid at the pump. Either option requires a majority approval by a vote of the people.

But wait, what scientific fact(s) is this new Global warming tax based on? Why it’s not base on scientific facts, which support the theory of Global warming/Climate change at all. No, Assemblyman Mike Feuer’s, a Los Angeles Democrat and author of California Assembly Bill 2558, reason for attempting to impose about $400 million in additional taxes on the people of Los Angeles is in his words, "At this point the people of the Los Angeles region have just had it when it comes to traffic and air quality,"

Okay he said “air quality” so I’m guessing that that ties into Global warming/Climate change in some way that Californians only understand.

But really to attempt to sneak a new tax on the people of California on something that they are already paying taxes for “traffic congestion and air quality” by labeling it a Global warming/Climate change is simply unconscionable Assemblyman Feuer. But to have the people vote on taxing themselves on your scheme is criminally insane sir and you should be recalled at the earliest opportunity.

Global warming at best amounts to less than a degree of temperature increase during the past century. If the recent several-year cooling trend is an indication, global warming may be going away.

But because the only "proof" of long-term catastrophic consequences lies in contrived computer models, politicians like Mr. Feuer can insist even as temperatures decline that doomsday still lies ahead unless people tax themselves to fix the problem.—The Orange County Register

But it is not only the little peon politicians who are attempting to abscond with your Global cash the World bank knows a patsy when it sees one (that would be you) and is already plotting on getting all of those “Global warming/Climate change” billions of dollars when you my friend are taxed on your carbon emissions which is coming soon, the tax that is.

At the week-long Bangkok conference, the World Bank pushed its proposals for a $5-10 billion Clean Technology Fund, a $500 million "adaptation" fund and possibly a third fund dealing with forestry.

However, developing countries want climate change cash to be administered through the existing United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), which they feel is much less under the control of the Group of 8 (G8) richest countries. --Ed Cropley

What’s at stake here is that rich nations, countries like the United States, would be taxed billions of dollars for their carbon emissions and that money will be given to poor nations as payment for our environmental sins. It’s true!

What? You thought that Global warming/Climate change was about saving the Earth? Wrong again it’s about wealth transfer and the World Bank wants in on this cash cow and its cut of the loot.

Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.

The money will be used for everything from flood barriers against rising sea levels to "clean" but costly power stations, an example of the "technology transfer" developing countries say they need to curb emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide. --Ed Cropley

It’s the Global warming/Climate change hokey-pokey and taking your money is what it’s all about!

Finally, all this talk about the revenues that Global warming/Climate change will produce we forgot the important stuff like actual Global warming!

Well according to David Archibald, a solar scientist speaking at the "Greener Skies 2008" conference an environmental confab in Hong Kong recently this year Global warming/Climate change is mostly dictated by solar cycles, not carbon dioxide levels, as conventional wisdom suggests.

And to top that bit of shocking news off Archibald told the scientist gathered to hear about global warming that they should figure out ways of increasing CO2 output because the sun is not as giving as in the past. More Carbon Dioxide?

In other words according to Archibald trends of Global cooling are afoot. If there is the remotest possibility that Archibald is correct the schemes to collect all of that Global loot would be put in jeopardy so you can believe that Archibald will be silenced even though the Earth hasn’t warmed since 1998.

The Consequences of Defeat

Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House

Was Iraq worth it? That's the economic question Democrats are again highlighting because of Gen. David Petraeus's congressional testimony this week. And implicit in that question is the assumption that even if the surge works and Iraq someday ends up as a democratic capitalist, antiterrorist ally of America, the price has been too high—James Pethokoukis

Democrats wish to frame the argument for leaving Iraq in terms of “blood and treasure,” meaning that the cost is too great both in American lives and tax payer’s money and they want to just leave. They wish to quit without regard to the consequences of that action.

Though there is no denying that the cost is great in American lives and resources. I believe that the cost is worth every life lost and every dollar spent if we defeat those who are attempting to destroy this country.

Newt Gingrich appearing on Hannity and Combs and speaking to Allan Combs put it another way when asked by Combs, how can the American people vote for someone who is out of sync with the American people’s present views on the war in Iraq?

Gingrich adeptly pointed out to Mr. Combs that he (Combs) was asking the wrong question the proper question is, are the consequences of defeat too great for America if Congress manufactures America’s defeat by sabotaging American’s war efforts. (See video)



And then James Pethokoukis of Capital Commerce says it in another way when crunching the numbers in his, “The Cost of Not Liberating Iraq.”

Mr. Pethokoukis’ cost analysis list the cost of containing Iraq, which is what we would have had to do had we not put Saddam out of power, at $350 billion to $700 billion dollars, he projects that gas prices would have risen because of our containment activities, and that the U.S. economy notwithstanding recent economic news has done remarkably well in the five years of war.

Real GDP has increased by 16 percent, or 3 percent annually. The unemployment rate has hovered below a historically low 5 percent for quite some time. Nearly 10 million jobs have been created. Household net worth has increased by $20 trillion. Industrial production has expanded by 13.5 percent.

Even home prices, despite the current correction, have increased by 20 percent. Global GDP has averaged nearly 5 percent annually. The capitalization of the world's stock markets increased 159 percent, or $35 trillion. Meanwhile, new emerging-market economies saw their stock market index collectively rise by 223 percent.

In all I agree with Gingrich and Pethokoukis. Gingrich believes that if Congress manufactured a defeat in Iraq it would hurt America’s image in the world and if we withdraw or if we were defeated. Defeat would signal to the world that America's word is no good and American can’t be trusted to live up to it’s commitments.

Pethokoukis thinks that politicians who talk about the cost of the war are disingenuous when they do nothing about the $2trillion dollar crisis in additional long-term liabilities that is soon to be facing the United States. Also he cites a strong U.S. economy during the war, though that has recently changed.

The consequences of losing are too great of a price for America to pay and this Congress should cease attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and let Gen. Petraeus and the U.S. military win this war without anymore interference.

Democrats are Right

Democrats plan to push legislation this spring that would force the Iraqi government to spend its own surplus in oil revenues to rebuild the country, sparing U.S. dollars.-- ANNE FLAHERTY

Bet you never thought you’d see that title here, but when you’re right you’re right. I thought that I would never see anything positive come out of a Committee Chaired by Democrats about the Iraq war but this one thing did.

Iraq has about $30 billion in surplus funds stored in U.S. banks, according to Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) and this is one point that we can all agree, Iraq should use those funds to rebuild their country.

I believe everyone agrees that the American tax payers have shouldered tremendous financial and personal cost in this 5 year war and Iraq is not exactly cash strapped. What the Democrats are proposing is not only acceptable but sensible in this regard.

Iraq is looking at a potential boon in oil revenue this year, possibly as much as $100 billion in 2007 and 2008. Meanwhile, the U.S. military is having to buy its fuel on the open market, paying on average $3.23 a gallon and spending some $153 million a month in Iraq on fuel alone.

This recommendation is but one of the positive developments coming out of the SASC hearings the other is Gen. Petraeus’ professional assessment of the war.

Petraeus is recommending to the President the withdrawal of the 20,000 extra troops. Beyond that, the general proposed a 45-day period of "consolidation and evaluation," to be followed by an indefinite period of assessment before he would recommend any further pullouts.

Democrats should accept this aspect of Gen. Petraeus’ plan too; it wouldn’t hurt to be right twice in the same day now would it?

Disgusting Duo!

The Huffington Post and the Daily Kos should be
ashamed to face the world. Their disgusting posts
after the death of Charlton Heston, were unworthy
of even such degenerative websites.

To wish agonizing deaths on the likes of former
First Lady Nancy Reagan, and celebrate the death of
such steadfast Americans as Mr. Heston, shows the
low level to which the likes of Arriana and Kos will stoop.

But I guess when you are that far down into the gutter,
it isn't such a big step after all.

The War Over the War

General David Petraeus

Winning hearts and minds, I bet you haven’t heard that cliché for quite some time yet it does bear bring up again because of the turn of events in Iraq.

Convening today are the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees where General David Petraeus returns to a partisan divided Capital Hill.

There will be three simultaneous things happening in those hearings Gen. Petraeus will be attempting to give an assessment of the conditions as they are in Iraq.

Democrats will be attempting to justify their anti-Bush stance by insisting that no substantial political progress has been achieved in Iraq.

And Republicans will be attempting to justify their support for the war and argue for its successful completion.

What is undeniable is that the Iraqi people have changed their sentiments with regards to al Qaeda in Iraq. Iraqis now view al Qaeda with distain because of the shear brutality with which al Qaeda indiscriminately destroyed property and killed fellow Muslims.

Iraq’s are rejecting al Qaeda’s presence in Iraq largely because of the way that America has conducted itself in this war.

America has allowed the Iraqis to see a clear distinction between the way we fight and the way that al Qaeda wages war.

It is not so much that America has won the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people it is more that al Qaeda lost the hearts and minds of the Iraqis.

Our role is to deal a blow to Al-Qaeda and the militias, wherever they may be. The militias, by the way, also play a role in Iraq, when it comes to the displacement of people and mass murder.--Sheik Ali Hatem Ali Seliman

In the following remarkable example Sheik Ali Hatem Ali Seliman issues a fatwa against al Qaeda fighters in Iraqi



And in this video clip U.S. soldier Maj. Gen. Kevin Bergner remarks on the change of attitude with which al Qaeda has achieved “personae non gratae” status and with the help of the Sunni Muslims who once helped al Qaeda the U.S. is finding intelligence to aid in destroying al Qaeda.



I’m betting that because this is a remarkable victory for the American forces it will not even be brought up in these hearings.

But in essence America as won, we have won at last the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.

To abandon them or to betray them by immediately withdrawing troops at this time would be a slap in the face of all those Iraqis who are now standing up to al Qaeda because they feel supported by America.

Sens. Obama and Clinton lose this discussion if they suggest anything but support for the mission and its successful completion with victory!
