Liberals in NASA promoting the global warming hoax get busted
(in my opinion, the first order of business for the next Republican president should be to fire every single registered democrat working for the federal government in any capacity, most importantly for the CIA, FBI, or NASA. Bush made a crucial mistake by not doing this. see the scores of secrets leaked to the New York Times).
It appears that the worldwide backlash to the global warming hoax (new socialism) has begun.
Just like Colin Powell before her, Hillary will go out of her way to use her position in secretary of state to sabotage and undermine the administration she serves. I don’t like giving Obama free advice, but this is likely a trial balloon and he is not seriously considering this. It would be a disaster for his administration. I look forward to the headline: “Hillary will make a great junior Senator from New York”.
A friend told me he met a colleague who insisted he was a libertarian. I bet in 2004 a lot of these guys weren’t saying how libertarian they were…
This was my rant to him on Libertarians and the bailout:
Libertarians are republicans who like to smoke pot.
That’s an old joke.
I voted for McCain and my GOP congressman, but not my Senator, since he voted for the bailout. Soon Kay Bailey Hutchinson, my other senator, will be running for governor. I will be voting against her as well. I hate not being listened to. I wrote and called both senators and my representative against the bailout and received a letter in the mail from my representative. That was pretty cool.
I voted for the libertarians on every other election. Much to my chagrin, most of the democrats won local judge elections as 2-3% voted libertarian in each election. The breakdown was 51-Dem, 49-GOP, 2 Libertarian. That is the way it breaks down when you vote libertarian. My county has had mostly GOP judges forever and that is good b/c they keep the criminals in jail, where they belong.
The sad thing about these elections is that good, smart Senators like John Sununu lost their seat whereas jerks like Ted Stevens win (they are still counting, slowly, the votes in Alaska. The best scenario is he wins and steps down and Sarah Palin nominates a new face).
But this isn’t only a GOP problem. Look at Chicago and New Jersey and see what happens when one party dominates.
The longer this thing goes on the more it becomes apparent the current crisis is due to a lack of transparency and encouraging bubblicious conditions. Sadly, everyone thinks the solution is encouraging more reckless behavior, encouraging yet another bubble, especially now that Obama is taking office. The first thing Obama will do when president is bailout GM, etc., which is corporate welfare at it’s worst, on principle even worse than the current bailout, and not change for the better. We were told that these banks needed 700 billion just to keep afloat and the signal now is that, well, now that we have this money in hand we can use it for helping this industry, which votes democrat (Michigan) and especiallly backed Obama. So I guess we really didn’t need all that money for greasing the wheels at the banks, then, right? Any argument made for the auto industry could apply to Starbucks, or Sun Microsystems, and to some extent American Express. But choosing which industry to save seems rather arbitrary at this point, and is not what gov’t does best. Over 20 American car manufacturers have gone out of business, I don’t see why all of the sudden gov’t has to start bailing them out. If GM can’t make a profit selling 9 million cars a year this is a systemic problem that a few billion free dollars won’t solve. Let them all declare bankruptcy, merge, and renegotiate their terms with the UAW and their creditors. The US auto stocks are now trading at 2$ so I don’t know think most shareholders will just have to eat it at this point. Remember that most execs are compensated mostly with stocks, most of which in their company so their holdings are now zero. So if you let them fail it is much worse on them financially, and much truer to the way a free market operates, than to bail them out and then go through the kangaroo court process of demanding limits on their compensation.
This guy started asking Chris Dodd some tough questions. To be honest he was a total jerk, but he spoke truth to power. Seems like he lost his job at Clear Channel over it. Critics said that Clear Channel will act like fascists in the Bush administration, and they were right, but not in the way you might expect. They replaced his interview with Hannity (’natch).
Democrats need to be careful, putting ethically challenged career politicians like Dodd back in charge is not the change we need.
The ethical concern is here. How silly of me to assume that the press would report on this more. All the liberals over here know about Ted Stevens’ shameful shananigans (I don’t know how he’ll legislate from federal prison, but details), but no word on Dodd?
My friend replied:
I am, somewhat, coming around to your point of view about some liberal bias in some MSM (e.g. esp. NYTimes & NPR). But what is the alternative? Fox news? Yikes!
If NYTimes & NPR are biased, it is in failing to cover some news stories– silence implies consent. But other venues, like FOX, report opinions as news, instead of trying to remain objective and saving partisan vitriol for the op-ed page.
Me:
The little lady once complained why I read CNN instead of Fox. It was funny she asked me in this accusatory tone like I was betraying the movement or something. I said, ok, let me show you and opened up the front page of Fox and CNN side by side. CNN said something like:
“Stocks drop 10% a new one day record”
The Fox headline was: “Carnage on Wall Street!”
I told her my heart can’t handle that on a daily basis. To be honest I’m picky. I really like Rush Limbaugh because he has a sense of humor. Bill O’ Reilly yells a lot, and Sean Hannity is a complete idiot in my opinion. I don’t listen or watch any of them.
I like Real Clear Politics because it has an equally mixed bag of opinions. Instapundit is great, a law prof who is very tech geekie, and no cheerleader for anyone. I just about lost all faith in the NYTimes and started reading the Washington Post more often now, which is more highbrow and far less condescending. Fareed Zakaria is a complete jerk but I read him b/c Obama is a big fan of his. Newsweek and Washington Post are merged but Newsweek seems to be for the far left Obamamaniacs whereas Washington Post is for the grown up, mature, uh, Obamamaniacs.
After winning a championship in any sport, I think there should be a moratorium on the mention of possible repeats or threepeats until the next season begins. I hate to see when they ask a guy celebrating in the locker room if he thinks he can repeat. Similarly, since we have a current republican president, I think it is a little early to speculate on who the next one will be. So I am not a big fan of this 2012 business. What happens if the planet starts healing on Jan 22nd, and this whole planet rides this wave of hope to endless prosperity? Chances are Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal will be hanging tight and claiming their favorite job is governor of their state.
If anyone yet doubts that Fascism comes from the left and not the right, one need look no further than the new Chief of Staff appointee for President-Elect Obama. Rahm Emmanuel was quoted in 2006 as pushing for the same sort of “Civilian Force” that Barack Obama mentioned a couple of weeks ago that should be “just as well funded” as the military.
“Somewhere between the age of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training. You can do it at some point in your college time,” he said. “There can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint, similar experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service.”
Now those of you who think this is “fear-mongering” I will quote a prominent Democrat who recently said something along the lines of: “If it walks like a duck, and it talks like a duck…then it’s a Duck.” And then please recall how this author’s position on the William Ayers’ association had nothing to do with Terrorism but instead with a radical view of the purpose of public education.
REQUIRING civil service from the youth of a country is a CORE TENET of Fascism, in EVERY CASE. Here’s the video:
Obama is of course “softening” the requirement on his “change.gov” website. It used to read:
Originally, under the tab “America Serves,” Change.gov read, “President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in under served schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year,” the site announced.
But now the end of it instead reads:
“…developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.”
So now instead of legally requiring students to participate, the Government would simply bribe them with cheaper education to participate.
Meanwhile, the FEATURED ARTICLE on Wikipedia today is the “anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany”. This, of course, was the number one progressive chink in Mike Huckabee’s armor, so perhaps if he was the President-elect and started pushing for a no-smoking ban, then someone somewhere would be drawing similar comparisons, but nevertheless…there is no conceivable way for any Federal Agency to develop or enforce a “Civilian Defense Corps” without a MONUMENTAL and…yes…Fascistic, overreach in Government power and influence. The obvious question is: what are they going to learn, and who is going to teach it to them.
Should we be scared? Yes. We should be. This is where we have to start asking, “What kind of change?” A question that might have been asked more appropriately about 10 days ago.
For a full eight minutes. If you look at this clip, starting at 4:50, when the commentators brings up Captain Cocktail David Brooks (natch), you can see Jindal’s smile stretch to an irritated grimace for a brief second before he totally dismantles Brooks flawed logic. Bobby is getting his ducks in a row.
Now that the Olympics are over and the Chinese envoy has given marching orders to Chairman Ma, it is time for him to do his duty and start persecuting pro-independence Taiwanese, including the former president.
The article says President Chen “roiled” the United States. He did nothing of the sort. He ruffled feathers simply because he wanted to make explicit the implicit, that Taiwan is an independent, sovereign nation. The article also says that Chen took bribes and allowed small banks to acquire “well established” banks. What they fail to mention is that the well established banks were originally owned by the KMT, the blue party which is stamping it’s iron heel down on Taiwanese across the country. So, no, this is no anti-corruption campaign, it is a get even/China appeasement campaign.
“Long live Taiwanese democracy,” Chen declared to his supporters outside the prosecutors’ office. “Long live Taiwanese independence.”
