Mother Possum Fence Sitting


Wildlife in an urban landscape surrounded by Interstate highway.

Mother possum who lives in our backyard. Wandering through yard and chased up a 6' fence by our three Scottish terrors. I wasn't emotionally involved until I saw that she had a pouch full of babies (2? 3?) If you look at the picture carefully, you will see the tails and claws sticking out of the pouch. Ouch.

Here's the videos

You can hear me "ah ah-ing" the dogs who were scratching me to let them out so they could go after Momma possum and her pouch babies. She did get away after an hour.

Will USCCB Risk Credibility Of Authority?

More than 200,000 people, Catholics and non-Catholics have signed the petition to the University of Notre Dame to reconsider having NObama at their commencement ceremony. In conferring an honorary degree of leadership on this president whose first act was to sign authorization to fund abortions outside the United States, Reverend Jenkins, University of Notre Dame's president elect is shouting to the world his political bias and disregard for Catholic theology.

How many alumni will stop supporting this once bastion of Catholic faith, now a pathetic kool-aid drinking secular institution?

If the the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops does not speak out against this honorarium, and I don't mean just a few bishops with a guilty conscience or those who have a shred of moral principles still left, then the Catholic Church [aka Pope Benedict XVI] will cease to have any right to tell Catholic members of Congress, and any Catholic what they can or cannot do.

On the USCCB page, Cardinal George of NObama's hometown is petitioning President NObama to designate Haiti with Temporary Protected Status.

In a letter dated March 19, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), urged President Obama to designate Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for a period of 18 months. A designation of TPS permits nationals of a designated country to reside in the United States legally and qualify for work authorization because of civil conflict or natural disaster in their home country. Eighteen months is the longest period under law that a country can be designated for TPS, although such a designation may be renewed.

Where is Cardinal George on contacting President NObama on protecting unborn children with "temporary protected status?" Surely Cardinal George feels it's better to speak up to protect Haitians than the millions of unborn babies. It sends a dangerous secular message to all Catholics everywhere that they can do what they want as long as they support NObama, the first black president. The irony is that black families were the targeted victims of Margaret Sanger Planned Parenthood's agenda of "eugenics." Now the Diocese of Chicago is supporting the one person who signed his name in the blood of millions of innocent lives [a year] and sealed their fate. What are Catholics supposed to believe?

UPDATE: This makes me FURIOUS! What a piece of crappy, weak, and immoral fence sitting is the request of the Order of the Holy Cross that NObama "rethink his position.

U.S. Father Hugh W. Cleary, Holy Cross superior general in Rome, said that when Obama receives an honorary degree from the Indiana university and delivers the commencement address in May, he should take to heart the objections of Catholics who have been scandalized by the invitation.

Father Cleary asked the president to use the occasion to "give your conscience a fresh opportunity to be formed anew in a holy awe and reverence before human life in every form at every stage -- from conception to natural death."

The 13-page letter, dated March 22, was made available to Catholic News Service in Rome. Father Cleary also prepared an abridged version of the text as an "open letter" to the president, which was expected to be published on the Web site of America magazine.

Father Cleary's letter began by congratulating Obama on being awarded an honorary doctorate from Notre Dame, and said the university was honored to have him deliver the commencement address.

The visit should be a "teachable moment" for all involved, Father Cleary said.
Think of how many women have been crucified and subject to "latae sentiatae" because of the guilt of abortions. How many were counseled to just the experience of abortion as a "teachable moment?" How many people were told by the Church that if they in any way helped to procure an abortion, they would excommunicate themselves? And the Church spokesperson is saying "Congratulations?"

This is as intolerable a position as the entire NObama presidency. My gut reaction is to say the whole lot at the head of the Catholic Church need to be cleaned out as much as Congress needs to go.

Contact information to stop the University of Notre Dame from killing more humans: letters, email, and telephone calls to the University of Notre Dame, the Archdiocese of Chicago, USCCB, and the Vatican.

Liberty and Tyranny Is Here!

I have ordered this book and awaiting its arrival any day. Mark Levin's book "Liberty & Tyranny" wasn't his choice. It was his publishers' who told them they would publish "Rescuing Sprite," a book about his beloved dog, if he would write "Liberty & Tyranny." Thank goodness, Levin agreed to do it. I first fell in love with Mark Levin's patriotic passion, hunger for justice, and his wit when I heard him on the radio with that distinctive nasal voice saying to a liberal saying "Get off the phone, ya big dope!"





Mark R. Levin is a nationally syndicated talk radio host and president of Landmark Legal Foundation. He has also worked as an attorney in the private sector and as a top adviser and administrator to several members of President Reagan's cabinet. The author of the New York Times bestselling books Rescuing Sprite and Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America, Mark holds a B.A. from Temple University and a J.D. from Temple University School of Law.

Think a revolution's time has come? Look at the incredible long line of patriots waiting to get Levin's John Hancock in "Liberty & Tyranny." It's unbelievable how many people are wanting their freedom from taxation without representation. Time for a Tea Party!


NØBama Calls Patriot's Video "Disturbing"

NØBama's White House Administration is waving the dead fish in Thomas Paine's aka Dr. Bob Basso's direction calling the two emotional, inspirational and patriotic, videos disturbing. They have demanded that Dr. Basso not go on Jerry Doyle's radio show. Pamela Geller, author of AtlasShrugged2000's blog (a must read) cites:
"Obama and his cronies have shown that intimidation of American citizens is a core value. Remember Saul Alinsky's Rule 9: 'The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.' Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist."
The "We The People" Stimulus Package:

  1. Repeal The Right of Congress To Vote Themselves A Raise!
  2. Balance the Federal Budget!
  3. Make Congress Pay Into The Social Security!
  4. Make Congress Buy Their Own 401K
  5. Term Limits!
  6. Pay Their Own Insurance Premiums
  7. Throw Out Every Congressman Who Voted For The Stimulus Bill Without Reading It!
  8. Take It Away From Congress And Give It To Our Military Who Deserve It!
  9. Don't Start Wars Unless You Intend To Win Them!
  10. Make English Our National Language!
  11. Stop Rewarding Illegal Aliens With Our Money!
  12. Get Rid Of The Electoral College!
  13. Bring Back Universal Service!

Connecticut Atty Gen Blumenthal Gets Spanked On Air

Hot Air has the great Glenn Beck segment where Connecticut Attorney General gets his pathetic arse handed to him over crucifying AIG executive bonuses. Sen. Chris Dodd took bonus money, I mean campaign contributions, from AIG and Richard Blumenthal isn't going to do anything.

It's a must see. Attorny General looks like a whiny weasel as he spins and twists hanging himself with every word.

Lights On To Celebrate Human Achievement Hour!

Michelle Malkin has a great video on celebrating "Human Achievement Hour" instead of bashing electricity and all the conveniences of modern mankind. Right now, we have on the washer, dryer, all the house lights, two computers, outside lights, (damn, we took the Christmas lights down in January!) air conditioner, dishwasher, hot water heater, and two televisions.

Meanwhile the caption for these before and after "Earth Hour" snapshots says:

Combination picture shows view of Millenium bridge over Tyne river before and during Earth Hour in Newcastle.

Excuse me...but doesn't it look like there's more lights being used in the "after" photo? Do you think the liberals never remembered it gets dark at 8:30pm in certain parts of the world?

Newt Gingrich To Become Catholic At Easter

First Judge Robert Bork, Sen Sam Brownback, and Laura Ingraham, then former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair converted to Catholicism. Rumors spread that President George W. Bush was discussing becoming a Catholic but never materialised; I believe because his wife Laura is a devout Methodist. Now, former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has announced that he will become Catholic during the Easter services this April.
“I have become increasingly drawn to Catholicism over the past several years while attending Mass with my wife, Callista,” Gingrich tells Newsmax. “ After prayer and reflection, I believe this is where God has led me. I’m looking forward with great joy to being received into full communion with the Catholic Church.”

His wife's faith and actions have led Gingrich, previously a Southern Baptist, to the one and true Church. It takes a strong women to show an example to their husbands of how God can work in their lives. Women truly are the foundation and the sustainers of Catholicism.

God bless you, Mr. Speaker. May your faith in God bring you peace and comfort.

I wonder how his new found faith will enrich his future presidential possibilities?

Illinois Republican Congressman Manzullo Rips Bernanke, Geithner



It's about time! Put Geithner, Bernanke in the hot seat! They're the ones responsible along with "Countrywide" Chris Dodd and Barney "Banking Queen" Frank!

Bernanke's snort that he couldn't answer because it was a "poorly phrased question" is the epitome of condescension. Does he seriously not understand what Congressman Manzullo was asking? Then he must be the perfect partner for the Nobama's idiot savant Geithner. With all the geniuses in DC to solve our country's problems... who needs enemies?

Local MSM's Serve Condescension And Indifference On Tea Parties


The size of the enthusiastic and patriotic throngs surrounding the Lake Eola amphitheatre at the Orlando Tea Party looks like it depends on partisanship as to attendance. Floridians Unite reports that "the city estimated it at 5000-6000 and the police on site wholeheartedly agreed." The Orlando Slantinel reports that the police told them 4,200. Reading her description of the day, it wasn't the same event I attended. I love the exactness of the 200 in totals and took offense at the reporter's condescending article titled "Eola Tea Party" not the "Orlando Tea Party." It's first sentences describing the well-attended and emotional event on page B2 as one of the singers "shrieking." The reporter made it seem more like a gathering of senior citizens and dog lovers who wrapped their "novel" banner around their dogs' waists.

Helen Eckinger didn't mention all ages from babies to the elderly were represented at the Orlando Tea Party. She didn't mention all the Special Olympic parents that came to protest Obama. No recall of the fact that all local city and county officials were invited but NONE showed up. Nothing written about all the young people, teenagers and college students upset with the fiscal burden they are facing. No mention of entire families that were seriously concerned about their children's future. Eckinger forgot to write about all the military veterans who were there and praise, gratitude, and admiration given to them by over and over through the day.

She didn't mention the long lines of thousands of people so upset that they were willing to stand in line for hours to sign the parchment paper copy of the "Orlando Tea Party Constitution" which outlined each of the grievances and will be expedited to the White House.

Obviously, this quiet revolution is getting louder and the MSM's are not going to help the rabble-rousers of rebellious Revolutionaries.

Even the local FOX affiliate television station gave it tawdry lip service on their website:
Tea Party Sets up Shop in Lake Eola

Trinnette Bowers, FOX 35 News
ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) - A huge crowd showed up at Orlando's Lake Eola Saturday afternoon, to take part in a national movement called the "Tea Party." It's a throw back to the Boston Tea party, but this time, tea isn't being dumped into the sea.

Cities nationwide have been holding the so-called "Tea Parties" as peaceful protests driven by conservatives who say they want less government, less wasteful spending, fewer bailouts, and no socialism. The "Tea Parties" are filled with people ranging from young and old, to current voters and future voters.

Now, that may be where they differ, but during these protest, they all have one thing in common; they're all apparently worried about getting their piece of the pie. These "tea parties" are a national movement that has finally made its way to orlando's lake eola.

Organizers plan to take a signed petition of sorts to washington d.C., demanding more accountability and, what they consider better leadership by President Obama's administration.

Every conservative needs to rise up and contact these MSM's and tell them to "Stop with the condescension. Just report the news. Don't put your spin on it!"

It's going to be up to us to save the US.

My indifferance is now directed at Channel 35 now... they won't get my viewership anymore. Contact Fox 35 here.

Orlando Tea Party Largest To Date



Orlando Tea Party 2009-03-21 12:53

The Orlando Tea Party at Lake Eola was a spectacular patriotic success and the largest Tea Party to date! The estimated crowd was nearly 6,000 attending! Ages of attendees ranged from newborns and their parents, young elementary students, teenagers, families, proud military veterans, and retirees. Bud Hedinger, talk show radio host at WFLA 540AM in Orlando emceed the event. Featured speakers were:

Special thanks to Lisa Feoreli, and the staff of the Bender Construction company who organized the entire event with the help of Bud Hedinger, and WFLA 540AM. Glenn Beck, who was in Orlando this week was unable to move his schedule around to appear. That did not dampen the sunshine and the enthusiasm of the conservatives attending from around the state and even from across the country!

Music was provided by Lloyd Marcus and the Macpherson trio. Marcus's song "American Tea Party" a hit on the Internet made the people stand up and cheer.



At the event, Bud Hedinger asked each person in the audience to sign the Orlando Tea Party Constitution which was 50 feet long. The long lines of people wanting to put their John Hancock on the important parchment paper circled around Lake Eola. Monday, the Orlando Tea Party Constitution will be heading express mail to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Can't wait till Obama gets home from his campaigning to read all of the signatures!

Special quotes:

Jon Gutmacher: "2nd Amendment: The rightof the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon! Remain vigilant!"

Lawrence W. Tudor: "So much wealth has been destroyed in the mindless rush to perdition. Free people have power that is more powerful than any other government! Find your voice!"

Andrea Shea King: "Washington, D.C. is the enemy."

Kristinn Taylor: "Joe Biden and Barack Obama need to apologize to Barbara West."
Taylor attacked RINO Governors Charlie Crist and Arnold Schwartzenegger, clumping them in the same shameful category as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Dick Schumer, Olympia Snowe, Patricia Collins, and Arlen Spector. The crowd booed and hissed in agreement. Taylor's admonishment to the Democrats and RINO's: "Remember what you sow in the wind, you will reap in the whirlwind." High-energy and passionate, Taylor inspired the audience with a quote from Ronald Reagan, "Inflation is the cruelest tax of all." He asked those listening avidly to be proud of the beliefs and do not hide themselves behind masks like the anti-Americans who wear scarves over their faces when parading at protests.

Lisa Feroli announced that the next Tea Party in Orlando could be held late summer.

Seeing A Pink Elephant?

You're not drinking.

The Okavango Delta is a pristine, undeveloped area of Africa where common transportation are by foot and canoes. Filming a television program, scientists have found a rare albino elephant. The unique element of albino elephants are they aren't white but pink.

This little baby will have to be protected from the sun and may eventually suffer from blindness, common problems for all albinos.

Mike Holding, the BBC photographer, spotted the calf while following a herd of elephants for a BBC documentary.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!




Top of the morning to you! A truly Irish-American holiday, St. Paddy's Day was celebrated in Ireland with little more than a normal Catholic mass, until the Irish-American tourists started flocking to their ancestral home in the 1990's. Finding no corned beef and cabbage, no green beer, and no "Kiss Me, I'm Irish buttons", trips provided cultural disappointment.

Until the Irish understood how to make money with the Celtic Tiger. Then Eire's economy exploded.

Now Ireland, with its ancient castles, sacred churches,rolling emerald hills and beautiful scenery is one of the most successful countries in the world. St. Patrick would be proud.

Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with your family? Here's some ideas:

Learn the important Irish Gaelic phrases of the day:

PHRASE: Slainte
PRONOUNCED: slawn-che
MEANING: Good Health!

PHRASE: Eireann go braugh (bráth)
PRONOUNCED: air-in go braw
MEANING: Ireland forever!

PHRASE: Beannachtai na Feile Padraig
PRONOUNCED: bann/ockt/tee nih fail/eh pawd/rig
MEANING: Happy Saint Patrick's Day

My favorite Irish films:

  • The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Sullivan shows the stubborness of the Irish people and the love that is deep in their soul for Irish traditions.

  • Dancing at Lughnasa with Meryl Streep, set in bucolic Ireland in 1936. It is a touching, bittersweet film explaining the Irish's ease of combining Catholicism with their pagan heritage and why so many had to leave Ireland to survive. This movie was filmed in my grandfather's birthplace, Glenties, Co. Donegal with the cast and crew staying at my cousin's beautiful Highlands Hotel. It always brings tears to my eyes to understand what the Irish went through post-potato famine.

Films for children that celebrate Ireland mythology and fey folk, the leprechauns:

St. Patrick Day Links:

Irish Recipes - Some say that the United Kingdom has a terrible reputation for food. That the poor people boil everything. Well, then they must not have had good cooks for mothers. Same as America, some families can cook, others canna. Irish cuisine specialties varies in the different counties and can be five-star delicious.

Eire - multiple links. Good information, easily searched.

Great Irish website that you can find anything your heart needs to know about Éire including a Free monthly Ireland newsletter which brings you the latest news, Irish stories, Gaelic lessons, history, clan names, and Irish sweepstakes.

What do leprechauns eat? Why Lucky Charms of course, they're magically delicious! This is a Leprechaun Trap which isn't so lucky for a leprechaun. Photo courtesy of S. Beckham.

Two Different Presidents, Same Military



The stark contrasts of emotions between former President George W. Bush and anti-military Barack Obama are visible to the naked heart. Protests by Obamites scream that these were two different kind of events which the troops were to act accordingly, but scanning the faces of these brave men and women, you can tell who they love as a real Commander-in-Chief.

R. D. Walker writes of his video:

In the video, the Marines exhibit obvious love and respect for President Bush. His visit was not an event that followed closely on the heels of 9/11. This video was taken after the worst days of the war and after the surge created major progress in the region. The president is visiting the troops in Anbar Province, the home of the infamous Falluja and Ar Ramadi killing grounds. This visit took place after the province had been pacified. In other words, the Marines showed their love of Mr. Bush even after the darkest days of the war.

The Lejune video, on the other hand, shows Obama entering with all the pomp and circumstance of a royal visit to the peasants. Hail to the Chief plays in the background; something that President Bush didnt allow during his military visits. Obama knows that keeping the Marines locked at the position of attention means that no comparison can ever be made to the loving reception President Bush regularly received from the troops. Obama knows how the Marines feel and will always treat them exactly like the rabble he sees.

This is the real truth of the video and why it is so popular. It warms the heart of Bush supporters to see President Bush receive the love, gratitude and respect of these warriors. It angers Obama supporters because they also see the love President Bush receives and they know their man will never see anything similar from the troops. They know that these warriors loved the last president and will never give similar respect to this one.

A good YouTube video stirs the emotions and this one does that. It elicits different emotions in different people but the underlying truth that is the catalyst for the emotional response is the same for everyone. The Marines loved President Bush in a way they will never love President Obama.

God bless George W. Bush. God bless our military men and women, and their families.

Obama's Under Bush In Presidential Approvals

Gallup Polls are releasing date showing that Obama is ranked fourth during the same honeymoon period after a presidential inauguration.

  • Jimmy Carter 70%
  • George H.W. Bush 63%
  • George W. Bush 63%
  • Barack Obama 62%
  • Ronald Reagan 57%
  • Bill Clinton 56%

Obama's disapproval ratings have more than doubled from 12% to 26% in less than two months.

Rescuing The Rescuer

Sometimes even St. Bernards need rescued. Duke fell into a crack on the golf course pond in Billings, Montana. Amazingly, while the heavy coated dog's tail froze to the ice as he tried to climb out, he was able to survive overnight till a maintenance worker noticed him and called for emergency rescue.

I hope they gave the 16-month old puppy some non-alcoholic brandy bones?

Vampires Found In Venice Graves

No, this isn't a picture of blood-sucking liberals in the Obama Administration. Nice try.

An Italian archaeologist claims to have found the skeleton of a "vampire" among the bodies of plague victims buried in a mass grave in Venice in 1576, New Scientist magazine reports.

Obama's Dubious Distinction


Terry Keenan, FOX's News Business Correspondent reported Friday night on the O'Reilly Factor that "Obama may gain the title for 'Worst President Ever' in 90 years in terms of the stock market during his first six weeks in office"

Ninety years? Sounds like Obama's not going to fail at everything.

8.1% unemployment that's expected to go up to 10%.

This recesssion will be longer and more painful, possibly destroying the United States. Democrats can thank Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, for the socialist economic no-stimulus package.

Roswell Fireman Recants Story

A 90-year old fireman who helped in the dispatch and collection of a supposed UFO in Roswell in 1947 has recanted his recollection of the events and states that it was a UFO. The fireman who would only reveal that his family name was Smith has stunning revelations of ordered secrecy and confirmation that the unidentified flying object was not man-made.
The crash was of a craft not from Earth. The Fireman explained that it was not a balloon or any type of military experiment. He said that it was a "UFO." When I said to him that the term "UFO" was not used back then...he said it was "unidentified- a flying saucer." I asked him how he knew this and he stated that he was certain it was because of "what I was told at the time it happened." He explained that the Colonel did not know what the craft was or from where it came...and that there was great concern over the situation.

Does Juan Williams Have GCD?

Listening to Fox's Beltway Boys with Fred Barnes and Juan Williams filling in for Mort Kondracke. I don't understand Juan Williams, a seemingly intelligent, normal liberal, who tolerates hearing the right's viewpoints so that he can stay employed by the highest rated news network in television. I have watched Williams on several news shows on Fox, i.e. Special Report with Bret Baier, The Beltway Boys, O'Reilly, repeatedly corrected by the hosts for saying that Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail. Williams knows he's falsely perpetuating the leftwing talking points despite being told over and over again that he is taking Limbaugh's words out of context.

Williams: "Well, let me tell you something Fred. You think the White House concocted this [Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh melee] but my recollection differs. I think history indicates that Rush Limbaugh even before Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 21st, there was Rush Limbaugh saying 'I hope he fails.'

Rush's actual quote was: "If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails." (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, "Oh, you can't do that." Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the Drive-By story is. I would be honored if the Drive-By Media headlined me all day long: "Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails." Somebody's gotta say it."

Williams: 'I hope he fails.' And then condemning it as... condemning President Obama as the epitome of radical liberalism and he hoped radical liberalisms fail. Now you think about this. The country is in the midst of an economic crisis and you have a major talk show host in the country saying 'I hope our president fails.'

Is that what Rush really said, Juan? Do you have the integrity to quote Rush Limbaugh's actual statement? I don't think so. The economy has declined 20% since Obama was elected. It's now Obama's albatross and he needs to take responsibility for his budget failures and the fear-mongering.

Williams: As I understand it, he's [Obama] president of Republicans, president of Democrats, he's president of the United States and we should all be rooting for him to succeed at some level.

President of the United States should listen to all his constituents' representatives, i.e. Republican Senators? Why was the GOP locked out of Congress's stimulus budget planning sessions?

Williams: We may have differences about the plan. But saying 'I hope he fails.' Okay I think Rush set himself up."

Yes, that's the secret plan - Rush set himself to make his ratings go up. That's some set-up. What is wrong with liberals? It has to be GCD, or genetic comprehension disability - the dreaded leftist disease of hearing one thing but not understanding it at all or totaling ignoring it and progating a lie taken out of context.

It's disengenous and deliberate. Do whatever it takes to keep the naked Emperor in imaginary clothing.

Juan Williams is suffering from self-serving bias.

Now what is wrong with Fox to keep putting Williams on such high profile network shows?

Rush Hunting

Warren Todd Huston of Red State, disputes Boston Globe's Ellen Goodman's liberal mouth-frothing spewing column over Rush Limbaugh. It's absolutely disgusting the way liberals can attack conservatives but conservatives fighting back is akin to the Holocaust's genocide.

Leftwingers can sure dish it out, but they really are whiners when they have to sit there and take it when they are destroying our economy.

Interesting to know that Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's audiences are the most informed about United States politics. I bet Ellen Goodman doesn't know that or very much of anything else in politics except character assassination. I wouldn't even call it writing. It's hate-mongering.

Great Britain And Canada's Health In Decline

Obama's force-feeding Americans nationalized health care while making sure that there will be a limited amount of patients due to abortion and euthanasia, doesn't bode well for the United States. Looking at the example of Britain, Canada, and Europe, the prognosis for socialized medicine is that it's a failure.

Let's pray for the death of nationalized health care. Our lives depend on it dying quickly.

Red State: Obama's Policies Will Fail

Erica Erickson, of Red State with the dirty facts.
It’s really that simple. In seeking to replace what Obama called “the failed policies of the past eight years,” he imposed on the American people and our economy the failed policies of the past 100 years.

We know absolutely, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Barack Obama’s policies will fail. And that is why we hope he fails. We do not want him to impose the policies history shows will fail the people of this nation.

Charles Krauthammer on the lack of confidence in the Obama administration as one of the influences behind the stock market crash.

Looking at last year, they [market] said the Bush administration was running around with its head on fire, bailing out here and there, without logic, without...extremely ad hoc. It saves the Bersteins, it lets Lehman go down. It proposes a TARP, a rescue on the basis of purchasing toxic assets. It changes its' mind. It ends up injecting the money in banks. It's running around without a plan. And yet, and yet, the system held together.

What was hoped was that there would be a new team, new people, fresh ideas, who have year '08 to study and learn what went wrong. And would have a plan in place. This is what Obama said he had. They knew what to do and would do it.

It looks like they
[Obama administration] have no idea what to do and they won't. When Obama had his first press conference, he promised that there would be a detailed plan by Geithner the next morning. There was none. The market tanked. It looks as if this administration is entirely at sea on what to do, on the principle element of our collapse, the banks, and they might not have any idea. Which is scaring the markets. If they don't, we are all at sea.

There was dead silence on the set while Krauthammer talked, not one interruption. The rest of the panel knew he was telling the facts. Obama is tanking and fast just as predicted.

After four months of Obama's reign, the stock market is down 3,000 points. Rush is going to get his wish.

Conservatives know what will bring this recession to a stop: Tax cuts. Stop the stimulus bill. Stop talk about the health care nationalization. Give people back their capitalism. Let them work to make this country better. It's the fastest way to a cure.

You Asked for Him...You Got Him... Obama...

Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson, Nancy Killefer, Judd Gregg; a "stimulus" bill that increases the federal debt by one trillion dollars (that's $1,000,000,000,000.00) in one fell swoop; "bipartisanship" that takes the form of excluding conservatives from any involvement whatsoever in the largest spending bill in the history of the country; passage of a 1,000+ page bill in a matter of hours despite promises to post proposed legislation for voters to see five days in advance; the census being taken over by political hacks; our Secretary of State going hat in hand to beg the Chinese to fund the Democratic Re-election Act of 2009/aka the stimulus (and what a blast from the past to see a Clinton begging Chinese Communists for money); closing Guantanamo, without a clue of what to do with the terrorists kept there; a cabinet member calling the entire American voting public cowards....

You elect as president a Chicago hack politician with no appreciable experience, who has failed at virtually every job he has had in the past....and what do you expect?

Welcome to Chicago...on steroids. Barack Obama is already the unmitigated disaster real conservatives said he would be. All hail Obama, the post-racial, post-partisan healer of the Earth. Where are Christopher Buckley and Peggy Noonan now? Stand up you weak kneed "conservatives" and take credit for what you helped inflict on the country. And you who helped push John McCain, the poor man's Democrat, on the Republican Party this past election and kept the true conservative vote split...take a bow.

It is only going to get worse. Our domestic state of affairs, already on the precipice because of the socialist policies of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and, yes, George W. Bush, is a hair's breadth away from full scale socialization of the banking and health care industries. (Thank you Lindsay Graham for giving "conservative" cover for the nationalization of our financial system.) Just wait for Obama's inexperience, incompetence and air headed leftist ideology to bear fruit in foreign affairs.

Iran will be allowed to develop and deploy nuclear weapons (Obama will stop Israel form doing anything truly effective); North Korea will escape all sanctions and continue starving its people to help fuel its dictator's megalomaniacal ambitions; Russia will blackmail its way into halting the expansion of NATO and exercise hegemony over former Soviet states; and who knows what other opportunistic dictator or fanatic will take advantage of the new weakness of the head of the "free" world.

But it's stupid to vote based on ideology. Right? We need to get past the partisanship of the George Bush years...so we can return to the bi-partisanship of the Bob Michel era. (Bob Michel being the former minority leader of the House Republicans who all suffered from political Stockholm Syndrome before Newt Gingrich gave the party a spine.)

The main reason socialism does not work is that no individual or group of individuals is smart enough to run an economy of 300 million people. The trial and error of a capitalist free market is the only effective way to allow mistakes to be made, and gotten rid of (including banks and auto makers), in a way that allows long term growth. But too many "conservatives" believe this only when times are easy. When (like now) the socialist geniuses' prior efforts are leading us over the economic ledge, too many "conservatives" are all too willing to give in to the temptation to look for the wise man who can save us all. As they did with Obama.

Well, we have our man of destiny, and he has proven himself to be exactly what his past showed him to be: an untalented, disorganized, ineffective political hack who can read a good speech. The hard core leftists who run his administration are going to inflict their social, economic and foreign policy idiocy on this country for at least the next two years. We are all going to pay, dearly, for this last election. But at least he got Chris Matthew's leg to tingle.

Comment from Toccatamundi:

The catastrophe that is upon us just reinforces my main concern from the first time I heard the name Barack Obama--this man was not formed as an American.
It's old-fashioned to bring up this notion but one's upbringing does influence how one turns out. Obama was not raised as an American!
How was he raised? He was raised by a single mother who hated her own country, by a Moslem father who abandoned every child he fathered, and by third-world relatives who were steeped in the "hate America" mind-set. Also, he was schooled during his formative years in a Malaysian culture where he was indoctrinated in extremist Moslem formation for hours every single day.
There is no way this man can have the common experiences, common heritage and common mind set of an American. He can't/won't even produce a genuine American birth certificate. When this rock of Obama's background is finally kicked over, I shudder to think of what manner of bugs will come scrambling out.

UPDATE: Japanese Scientists Deny Global Warming Man-Made

UPDATE: Japanese scientists refute human cause to global warming.


UPDATE: George Will on Global Warming.

UPDATE: Senate Report debunks the polar bear extinction propaganda.

The global warming debate continues. A reader sent me an article and the following retort:
I have known Peter for 20 years ­ interesting that Limbaugh and Colter publish his data but won't let him put it in perspective. I saw his study on what the science community thinks. The sample size is very large (I think over 20,000) and he asked every scientist that he can find in the field. Despite the few that Coulter and Limbaugh dig up, 90% think it is happening and 20 think it is man-made. That does not mean the theory is right but it does mean we ought to take it seriously enough to study it more and in the meantime do what we can to stop experimenting with the climate by dumping extraordinary amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere and just waiting to see what happens.

Coulter and Limbaugh have nothing to do with it. At least they are talking about the fact that global warming is possibly happening but what causes it is not determined. There's a majority of scientists that embrace the thesis that humans are causing global warming is the myth. Just because a scientist is asked his opinion doesn't make his thoughts ipso facto. They asked over 20,000 scientists whose field of expertise is climate change who have actually participated in the studies? There are independent academic climatologists who disagree. But climatologists are more dire in their predictions than meteorologists who study weather. Let's see who would stand to lose more funding if they said there was no climate change? Hmmmm, that would be climatologists? Survival of funding is more important than being accurate. I see it every day in university research. It's ALL political. Those who need money raise the most hue and cry.

We do need to study it more without bias and without fear. The need for debate, accurate research, and a common sense approach, rather than the 'Chicken Littlers' wrecking havoc with the United States economy and not the real problem country of China. More political anti-American bs.

Just 35 years ago, the climatologists were bemoaning an Ice Age coming.

Let's do a legitimate, unbiased 20-year study on climate change and get China to change their industrial processes before changing life-affecting laws like the failed multi-billion dollar cost of the Kyoto Treaty and putting America out of business.
The pro-global-warming populist committed the same liberal-forced manipulated mistake when he wrote 'that 90% think it is happening and 20 think it is man-made.' I'm very disappointed. I was hoping for more truthful debate.

The pro-environmentalist article on Doran actually said:
Last year, he assembled a database of 3,146 geoscientists across the planet
to get their views on global warming. The results: 90 percent believe it exists,
with 80 percent sure that earthlings are causing most of it.

One question that springs to mind is why would a scientist participate in a database that they didn't believe in and that others could manipulate your participation as agreeing with the pro-global warming crowd? 90% of 3,146 scientists (2,831) out of over tens of thousands if not, millions of scientists in the world? Thousands of academic scientists, international and American scientists dispute the "consensus" word.

My other question that indicates the bias of this ridiculously leftist article is that: Did the survey questions actually use the word "earthlings" (which dehumanizes us and what liberals would like) or was this the bias of the article writer? I would LOVE to be able to read the research publication. Funny it wasn't included with the article on Doran.

Let's go to the U.S. Senate Committee hearings. But the United States can hardly be unbiased. They're the ones destroying the Earth. Those damned evil capitalists!

Yeah, right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

October 15, 2007
I'm sure there were very few people that were shocked by the Nobel Prize announcement committee that Al Gore actually won a Nobel Prize. The shock was that it was under the wrong category.

The Nobel Prizes are categorized under six themes:
  1. Medicine
  2. Physics
  3. Chemistry
  4. Literature
  5. Economics
  6. Peace
Hmmmm, let me think. Now which ones of those categories does anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and Bush-hating ideology belong?

Of course with left-wing extremists, terrorist enthusiasts, and Democrat socialists, left is right, in is out, and up is down. With that kind of thought process, the Peace Prize aka "Piece Prize" is the only one that comes to my mind that is the opposite of what it actually is.

Take past Nobel Piece Prize winners, Arafat, Jimmy Carter, the Irish "I Want To Kill Bush" Betty Williams, for instance. Arafat wants Hamas to slay the Semites, Carter wants the world to side with terrorists, and Betty Williams wants to rid the world of the evil George W. Bush. What a crazy upside down world we live in.

It's just common sense, albeit rare among environmentalists, but this time they were right. Al Gore had to win in the Nobel Piece Prize category because it doesn't belong under the science category. Gore's solutions to a hysterical environmental propaganda are not based on scientific facts but desires and hidden agendas of eradicating capitalism and democracy from the globe.
How can anyone say that? Why, Al Gore is the epitome of jet-set, tree-hugging presidential election martyrs this world needs more of. I was even accused of being politically biased because if a Republican had won the Piece Prize I would be thrilled. How convoluted is that? The inconvenient truth is that Gore should not have won the Piece Prize because:
  • Gore's theories has nothing to do with peace.
  • Gore's global warming results are not substantiated.
  • Gore's jet-setting to promote global warming have increased CO2 emissions.
  • The money wasted on Gore's concerts around the world could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in 3rd world countries just by feeding them.

UPDATE: Over 32,000 scientists have now signed. How can a theory that 17,000 scientists worldwide disagree with be fact?

May 19, 2008. - Yep, 17,000 scientists around the globe signed their names to a petition warning against global warming hysteria.

How can a Danish scientist, voted one of the top 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 by Time Magazine, the 14th most influential academic in the world by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine, and 2005 'Young Global Leader' by the World Economic Forum 2005 no longer be considered a viable environmental resource? Bjorn Lomborg, the former director of Denmark's Environmental Assessment Institute, the Director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, and Adjunct Professor of the Copenhagen Business School has been crucified since he has come out against the emotionalism and knee-jerk reaction to the global warming theory? He was taken to court for his anti-global warming hysteria statements and vindicated. Lomberg's editorial in the Boston Globe titled "An Inconvenient Peace Prize" is a must read.

If you have read Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and not read "Cool It - The Skeptical Environmentalists Guide To Global Warming" then you need to balance your propaganda levels by reading the "other side." For instance, take the 'chicken-littled' story of the demise and possible extinction of the polar bears alarmingly noted by the World Wildlife Fund 2002 report and the 2004 Artic Climate Impact Assessment:
"Both relied extensively on research published in 2001 by the Polar Bear Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union. [T's note: Whenever the word "Union" with a capital "U" is used, be leery.] But what this group really told us was that of the the twenty distinct subpopulations of polar bears, one or possibly two were declining in Baffin Bay; more than half were known to be stable; and two subpopulations were actually increasing around the Beaufort Sea. Moreover, it is reported that the global polar-bear population has increased dramatically over the past decades, from about five thousand members in the 1960's to twenty-five thousand today, thorugh stricter hunting regulation.

Contrary to what you might expect - and what was not pointed out in any of the recent stories - the two populations in decline come from areas where it has actually been getting colder over the past fifty years, whereas the two increasing populations reside in areas where it is getting warmer."

There will be no drowning polar bears in our future. Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize is nothing more than a political statement, not rocket science. The MSM's, the socialists of the world, and the anti-American countries, and the United States Bush hatriots, wanted to show that they are still in control. The world is going to Hell in an handbasket and Bush is the reason for all of the world's ills.

But that too is a convoluted theory. The world is getting better and no one reported it.

[...] the joyous trends in health and wealth documented in the report indicate a gigantic leap forward for humanity. This is probably the first time you've heard any of this because--while the grim "Global 2000" and "Limits to Growth" reports were deemed worthy of headlines across the country--the media mostly ignored the good news and the upbeat predictions of "State of the Future."

But here they are: World-wide illiteracy rates have fallen by half since 1970 and now stand at an all-time low of 18%. More people live in free countries than ever before. The average human being today will live 50% longer in 2025 than one born in 1955.

To what do we owe this improvement? Capitalism, according to the U.N. Free trade is rightly recognized as the engine of global prosperity in recent years.

In 1981, 40% of the world's population lived on less than $1 a day. Now that percentage is only 25%, adjusted for inflation. And at current rates of growth, "world poverty will be cut in half between 2000 and 2015"--which is arguably one of the greatest triumphs in human history. Trade and technology are closing the global "digital divide," and the report notes hopefully that soon laptop computers will cost $100 and almost every schoolchild will be a mouse click away from the Internet (and, regrettably, those interminable computer games).

Good news is never newsworthy - only political statements and pro-terrorists propaganda. It's the only way evil can win. Everything is bad, come over to the dark side and it will be better.

Gore didn't win the Piece Prize - he actually stole it away from those in the world who are making a difference for Peace: The United States military and their Allies around the world making the world free and safe.

Nespousetism Dilemmas

Trying to understand the mysteries of life.

  1. When will the Kennedy political dynasty ever be allowed to die a natural death?
  2. What is it about being married to a spouse that because of their death or illness elevates their widowed spouse to take over an elected political post?
  3. What is it about being married to a spouse that credits equitable business or political experience to the other spouse?

Just trying to picture Julia Child's husband despite designing her kitchen, taking over her career in writing cookbooks, hosting television cooking shows, and writing her cooking columns, just because he slept with her and ate her meals when she cooked at home.

Wait... cooking delicious recipes is so much more complicated than politics.

Who's Your Favorite Media Personality?

CPAC released the voting results of their straw poll this week at the convention. CPAC's featured speaker was Rush Limbaugh, who's garnered more liberal frothing this week as he was dissed by new RNC chairman and conservatively absent Michael Steele. What was Michael Steele thinking? Or not thinking as the case may be. Steele was played by the liberal comedians into making stupid remarks. Rush handled the situation by racheting up the dialogue and re-enforcing conservative values in telling his audience exactly what was going on. If you missed today's show, it was brilliant.

Keeping his #1 radio talk show status, the list leads off with great conservative talk show host, Rush Limbaugh.
  • Rush Limbaugh 26%
  • Glenn Beck 17%
  • Sean Hannity 11%
  • Bill O'Reilly 10%
  • Ann Coulter 7%

Glad to see Glenn Beck move up to the number two spot and that Ann Coulter made the list! Well done!

Read Michelle Malkin's excellent response to the dummy head of the Republican National Committee.

Michael Steele's apology. Not good enough. He needs to go on Rush's show and explain himself.
