Japan scientists ridicule Global Warming as “Astrology”

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Climate, Domestic, Foreign Policy and International

Gee - what a concept…

 

     

Japanese scientists have made a dramatic break with the United Nations’ view on man-made global warming with a report asserting that “this hypothesis has been substituted for truth.”

Three of the five researchers involved in the report disagree with the view of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that recent warming is due primarily to industrial emissions of greenhouse gases, and say it is instead driven by natural cycles.

The report was issued by the Japan Society of Energy and Resources, an academic group representing scientists from the energy and resource fields that acts as a[…]

Unilateral Obama Idicocy, or “More of the Same from The One”

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Foreign Policy and International, The Rest of the World

 

This from the WSJ today:

Swiss Bank Miss 

Look who’s bullying America’s friends in Old Europe now

 

Even in normal times, Swiss bankers are hard to love — with their image of numbered accounts, high-security safe deposit boxes, and allegations of tax evasion.

So there’s been very little sympathy for the Swiss in the wake of the Justice Department’s request last week for the names of 52,000 account-holders at Swiss banking giant UBS. John A. DiCicco, the acting assistant attorney general of Justice’s Tax Division, crowed that the “veil of secrecy has been pulled aside” from Swiss banking, while other officials emphasized the injustice[…]

Regarding the Economy

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Baby Boomers, Politics

In this OpEd the WSJ published a rant about Obama’s rhtetoric, concluding that, ”A more cool-headed assessment of the economy’s woes might produce better policies.”

“Better” as in ‘better for Americans, their families and their future’? Or “better” as in ‘turning America into a socialist economy and political system reined over by illiberal Democrats for generations to come’? 

The author does not say.

It is foolish to assume - as the Right always does - that the Left has the same goals of freedom, prosperity, liberty and an educated citizenry as does the Right. They don’t and they never have. Failure to understand this results in[…]

Silly Afghanistan Constitutional Discussion

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Foreign Policy and International, War and Terrorism

Recently the WSJ published an OpEd about Afghan governance entitled, “The Surge Afghanistan Needs.” The columnist, Ann Marlowe, yammers on and on about strengthening governance and problems with their “disastrous 2004″  Constitution.

This entire constitutional argument is silly, ignorant and naive. 

Our soldiers died - and are dying - to free these people. Our money paid for it. Our constitution is the best in the history of the known universe, our people the most free and equal. There is zero reason these people ought to have been allowed to create their own constitution and governance policies just as they emerged - are[…]

What’s the Answer when the American Government is the Problem?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Domestic, Politics

Every day it becomes more difficult to understand the liberal Democrats now running the country, or those voters who elected them.

I have been around for some time. Yet I don’t recall – ever – such a constant drumbeat of idiocy from any administration. Not even LBJ or Carter, two of the worst presidents of the last Century. Certainly not JFK (who reduced taxes and had a serious foreign policy) or even Clinton (who had a semi-serious foreign policy and eliminated the welfare we now have reinstated without any public discourse).

The Wall Street Journal, to my recollection, never before has published[…]

Divorce Agreement

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 under Domestic, Politics

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of  America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is[…]

Congressman Kanjorski (D) on Where the Money Went

Friday, February 13th, 2009 under Baby Boomers, Domestic, Politics, Taxes & Economy

The speaker in this CSPAN interview is Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D), Chairman of the Capital Markets Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee.

Want to know what happened to our money - our retirement and our kids’ futures?

Here’s is Congressman Kanjorski (D) telling you. The salient part starts at about 2:15 into the video.

Our health care has been nationalized as a “stimulus.” Did we get to vote on nationalizing our health care? Nope. Will nationalizing healthcare stimulate the economy? No. So this is just a power grab by the liberal elite to force on Americans laws we have been voting against for[…]
