Daryl Hannah Arrested at White House

Need another reason NOT to watch
ANYTHING featuring eco-nut Daryl Hannah?

Quoting NBC:

“Much-arrested Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah was taken away from the White House in restraints Tuesday afternoon.

Hannah was taking part in an ongoing protest against the unbuilt Keystone XL oil pipeline.

‘Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom,’ Hannah said in Lafayette Park before her arrest. ‘And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future.’”

Warmists link climate change to mental illness

Quoting The Sydney Morning Herald:

“RATES of mental illnesses including depression and post-traumatic stress will increase as a result of climate change, a report to be released today says.

The paper, prepared for the Climate Institute, says loss of social cohesion in the wake of severe weather events related to climate change could be linked to increased rates of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and substance abuse.”

This is recycled hysteria mongering dating back to the aftermath of hurricane Katrina (a man made disaster caused by political corruption).

Of course, the problem with this purely political propaganda is that the comprehensive data for both hurricanes AND tornadoes suggest that there is NO correlation between warming (man made or otherwise) and severe weather.

But, as every propagandist knows…
Repeat a lie often enough and many a fool will fall for the lie.

17% Say U.S. Government Has Consent of the Governed

Quoting Rasmussen Reports
(from 8/7/11):

“Fewer voters than ever feel the federal government has the consent of the governed.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 17% of Likely U.S. Voters think the federal government today has the consent of the governed.”

“They say - America, love it or leave it
Well, I loved it and it left me”:


As a reminder,
our Declaration of Independence reads:

“all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Prepare for Irene's AGW Hysteria Mongers

Hurricane Irene may or may not live up to media hype. Time will tell. What is certain is that Global Warming hysteria mongers will endlessly (and utterly dishonestly) hype Irene as:

1) Caused by Global Warming
2) A sure sign of future Global Warming disasters

In fact, the purely political hysteria mongering has already begun.

Note:

What we will NOT see from the hysteria mongers is any comprehensive substantiating data. Why? Because -- as always -- the data do not support the purely political propaganda.

Quoting Dr. Ryan N. Maue:

“In the pentad since 2006, Northern Hemisphere and global tropical cyclone ACE has decreased dramatically to the lowest levels since the late 1970s. Additionally, the frequency of tropical cyclones has reached a historical low.”

Bill McKibben is a Bald Faced Liar

Quoting Bill McKibben:

“Last year was the warmest ever recorded on planet Earth. Arctic sea ice is near all-time record lows.”

I could spend all day debunking countless lies. Let’s just go for the two most obvious:

1) “Arctic sea ice is near all-time record lows” REALLY?

Click here and thoroughly destroy THAT WHOPPER!

2) “Last year was the warmest ever recorded on planet earth”? REALLY?

A) The UAH satellite data refute that lie.

A simple average of UAH monthly satellite data for 2010 is +0.4142 Celsius

A simple average of UAH monthly satellite data for 1998 is +0.4275 Celsius

(The numbers represent the departure from the 1981 through 2010 average temperature.)

So, 1998 was warmer than 2010.
I guess Billy boy’s concept of “ever” begins in 1999.

B) EVER? Really?

If satellites had been collecting global data for the last 4.5 billion years, we could test that laughable assertion. Lacking such data, we can -- at least -- use highly reliable ice core data to prove what a bald faced liar Billy boy is.

Obama Approval Index Hits Record Low

Quoting Rasmussen Reports:

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday [8/23/11] shows that 19% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-five percent (45%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -26 (see trends).

This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama. The previous low was -24 reached yesterday and also in September 2010.”

Has Maxine Waters threatened mass murder?

Quoting Maxine Waters (D-CA):

“As far as I’m concerned, the TEA Party can go straight to hell - and, and, I intend to help ‘em get there.”

Watch for yourself:

Question: How, other than committing mass murder (of millions), could Ms. Waters fulfill her promise to “help ‘em get [to Hell]”?

Remember when a severely mentally ill lunatic (with Marxist leanings) shot Gabby Giffords? Remember how the Dims desperately tried to blame what they (dishonestly) described as “violent rhetoric” from the TEA Party for this tragedy? Remember how the best “evidence” these clowns could produce was some imaginary gunsights from Sarah Palin?

Remember how these same Dims brazenly ignored one of their own CLEARLY issuing a death threat against a TEA Party leader?

Now, we have a sitting member of Congress promising what I think can ONLY be interpreted as the mass murder of MILLIONS! WHERE is the outrage? It is -- as always -- nowhere to be found.

WHAT GLARING HYPOCRICY!
HOW TYPICAL!

Media Silent on 'Green' Jobs Failures

Quoting Julia A. Seymour
at Business and Media Institute:

“While campaigning President Obama promised to create 5 million ‘green’ jobs, and shortly into his term he announced a ‘task force’ to do just that. His stimulus package included tax credits for renewable energy companies, allotted funds for weatherization and more. Now with the economy once again on shaky ground the President may pivot back to jobs in September, specifically of the ‘green’ variety.

More than two years later after those initiatives began, the results are dismal. In fact a number of the very companies the Obama administration touted as future job creators have gone bankrupt or had to lay off employees instead. But you won't hear about this from ABC, CBS and NBC very often.”

Click the image & read the rest:

This was entirely predictable!

The best thing government could do to promote so-called “Green” jobs is to get the hell out of the way.

Government subsidies and mandates (of any sort) ONLY serve to subsidize and mandate FAILURE! It shields the industry (or the entitlement baby) from the rigors of real world competition. It demotivates the industry (or the individual) from doing what is necessary to make their product (or their skill set) competitive.

Of course, in the REAL world, the so-called “Green” industry would first have to come to terms with the fact that so-called “Green” energy is not actually “Green” and so-called “Green” automobiles are even less “sustainable” than the entitlement mentality.

But, so-called “Progressives” NEVER venture into the real world. They prefer their fantasy world where Keynesian economics is not the dismal failure which both FDR and Obama have PROVEN it to be.

Obama Approval Index Ties Record Low

“The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday [8/22/11] shows that 20% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -24 (see trends).

That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for President Obama, a level previously reached just once last September…

Among those not affiliated with either major party, 13% Strongly Approve and 44% Strongly Disapprove [giving Obama an Approval Index among independents of -31].”

Global Warming hysteria runs out of gas

Quoting Rex Murphy
at The National Post:

“For those who have a wish to hear the grating sound of a man distempered and frustrated that the cause for which he has given at least a decade of his time, the ‘greatest moral challenge of our time,’ is lost, I recommend listening to Al Gore as he was captured during an address at an Aspen global warming conference two weeks ago. It is a revelation…

Renewable Energy Peaked in Pennsylvania?

Quoting The Pittsburg Post-Gazzette:

“The Corbett administration [governor of Pennsylvania] is de-emphasizing renewable energy and energy conservation, eliminating programs created by previous Democratic and Republican administrations as it focuses on natural gas energy from booming Marcellus Shale.

Quietly but systematically, the administration has all but shut down the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Energy and Technology Deployment -- the state's primary energy office -- and removed directors and reassigned staff in the Office of Energy Management in the Department of General Services and the Governor's Green Government Council.”

Click the image & read the rest:

This is VERY good news (albeit just a tiny little baby step in the proper direction).

I am NOT opposed to renewable energy. I AM opposed to government subsidizing and mandating the FAILURE of renewable energy. Existing subsidies and mandates ONLY serve to ENSURE that renewable energy sources will NEVER provide REAL solutions in the REAL world (outside the big government FANTASY WORLD of so-called “Progressives”).

More evidence CO2 hysteria is exaggerated

Quoting Dr. Richard Lindzen writing to Anthony Watts
regarding findings in his new peer reviewed paper:

“warming from a doubling of CO2 would only be about 1°C…

This modest warming is much less than current climate models suggest for a doubling of CO2. Models predict warming of from 1.5°C to 5°C and even more…

As a result, the climate sensitivity for a doubling of CO2 is estimated to be 0.7 K (with the confidence interval 0.5K – 1.3 K at 99% levels). This observational result shows that model sensitivities indicated by the IPCC AR4 are likely greater than the possibilities estimated from the observations.”

CO2 vs. Urban Heat Islands

No Global Warming in Dallas for 31 years?

On August 11, 2011, Dallas fell two days shy of tying the 1980 record of 42 consecutive days over 100F.

So, can we now reasonably say there has been no warming (and no additional Urban Heat Island Effect) in Dallas in the last 31 years? Well, no, not based upon this one metric alone.

But, rest assured that -- had Dallas set a new record -- every global warming hysteria monger (especially that raving lunatic, Al Gore) would have shamelessly touted a new record as evidence that CO2 (at 0.04% of the atmosphere) will surely doom us all.

Government Gone Wild

First the government raids a lemonade stand (operated by children on their residential property). Now, they raid a rabbit farm (operated by a leading authority on raising rabbits).

Federal Appeals Court - ObamaCare Mandate is Unconstitutional

Quoting The Wall Street Journal:

“A divided U.S. appeals court in Atlanta ruled Friday that a key provision of last year's federal health-care overhaul is unconstitutional, siding with a group of 26 states that challenged the law.

The 2-1 ruling marks the Obama administration's biggest defeat to date in the multifront legal battle over the health-care law…

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled that Congress exceeded its constitutional powers when it required individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty.

‘This economic mandate represents a wholly novel and potentially unbounded assertion of congressional authority: the ability to compel Americans to purchase an expensive health insurance product they have elected not to buy, and to make them re-purchase that insurance product every month for their entire lives,’ Judges Joel Dubina and Frank Hull said in a jointly written opinion.”

Thugs Prefer Unarmed Victims

“The riots in London should give comfort to every American: we do not have to live in fear of such lawlessness because Mr. Colt or Mr. Smith and Wesson can provide us with the means to take care of ourselves. In England, a place which has banned guns and pointy knives (but not for the criminals) the citizenry has only one alternative – telephone the police and hide hoping they will not be next…

The British have become, like their European counterparts, a helpless mass of whimpering flesh and bone totally dependent upon the state for everything. All of the Big Brother CCTV cameras in London are offering no protection and government authorities were wringing their hands after 4 days about using water cannons and plastic bullets.”

We, the Stupid

Quoting Ann Barnhardt at American Thinker
commenting on this sick, sad joke of a debt ceiling deal:

“- Obama gets over $2 Trillion to spend before the 2012 election
- There are no real spending cuts
- There is a massive tax increase effective January 1, 2013…

Obama is going to be handed something in excess of $2 Trillion -- and he has made it perfectly clear that he will spend every penny of it before the November 2012 election…

Where do you think this money is going to come from -- who has two trillion dollars to loan us? China? Nope. Not even close. China's entire GDP is only $6 Trillion. Do you honestly think that China is going to loan us one third of their total annual economic production? ...

Obama is going to embezzle considerably more than the entire economic output of Canada, India or Russia to his cronies before the 2012 election -- and that is just counting this round of spending. This doesn't include the other $5 Trillion he has already burned through since 2009…

This $2 Trillion is going to come from the Federal Reserve. Where is the Federal Reserve going to get $2 Trillion? They are going to print it out of thin air. We are in the midst of the largest currency debasement ever seen in human history. There is only one result that can come of currency debasement: hyperinflation and total economic and societal collapse.”

Click the image & read the rest:

We are (quite deliberately) being driven to a total financial collapse.

At BEST, 20% of voters “get it”. Another 20% kinda sorta almost “get it”. The remaining 60% live in a welfare state fantasy world where government can provide anything their little hearts desire for “free”.

The entitlement mentality of that 60% will bring about the destruction of this nation AND the rest of Western Civilization. Absent a dramatic course correction, this is a mathematical certainty. The utter, total collapse will happen sometime within the next 3 to 20 years (20 years is a very generous estimate). There is probably no stopping it. We are probably WAY beyond a tipping point of no return. That 60% have been so thoroughly indoctrinated that no amount of evidence will convince them they are cutting their own throats (and ours to boot).

Western Civilization - it was nice while it lasted. Say goodbye.

OR, make one last ditch effort and flood Washington D.C. with TEA Party types in 2012. That really, truly is our last hope.
