Furthermore, ObamaCare (which Granderson is dishonestly propagandizing for) will only make health insurance LESS affordable and make health care LESS available.
“A care package drive for deployed U.S. troops is receiving national notice after a professor at Suffolk University Law School criticized the operation.
Professor Michael Avery emailed his colleagues just before Veterans’ Day in response to a school-wide email soliciting donations. ‘I think it is shameful,’ he wrote, ‘that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings.’
Avery’s email inadvertently contributed to the drive’s success, however, because its publication drew an outpouring of support for U.S. service members.”

Avery has the right to speak his mind (if he has one). So do I:
It has been said that blaming soldiers for war is like blaming fire fighters for fire. No matter what your position on the politics of war, our troops always deserve our support -- period. Avery’s hateful gibberish is utterly despicable and entirely indefensible.
Kudos to all those who rose up to support our troops on this occasion and so many other occasions.

Anatomy of a media LIE…
Alternatively, how pathetically incompetent “journalists” fall for professional propaganda…
When I Google [UC Davis pepper spray], I currently get over 63 thousand results (on an event which happened yesterday -- a confrontation with UC Davis Campus Police which was deliberately provoked by an OWS mob).
Click here for the video version promoted by the Associated Press.
Click here for an even more heavily edited version.
Looks bad, eh? Predictably, the terminally gullible have fallen for the brazen propaganda video, causing all sorts of people to make a foolish and ill-informed rush to judgment.
Here, are the facts…
1) The OWS mob had setup an ILLEGAL encampment (the sort of encampment which has led to rapes, murders, riots, suicides, thefts, assaults, vandalism, violence, tuberculosis, Zuccotti Lung Disease, drug overdose fatalities, public sex, public nudity, public defecation, unsanitary living conditions and more -- click here for a short version of the OWS rap sheet).
2) The university authorities ordered the Campus Police to clear out this ILLEGAL encampment.
3) I’ll let video shot by one of the mob tell the rest of the story:
A) Part I of III
I begin at the point where the Campus Police inform the punks they are violating the law and -- if they do not leave peacefully -- they will be arrested. They begin to arrest individuals and the mob gets outta control. The mob chants "stop beating students" (when, clearly, nobody is being beaten). The officers then DEESCALATE the situation, STOP arresting punks and engage in an extended standoff.
B) Part II of III
At 8:55, the badly outnumbered officers are completely surrounded by an angry mob and have circled the proverbial wagons in self-defense. In the innermost circle are those few they managed to peacefully arrest before the mob got out of control. The angry mob then threatens the officers by chanting:
"If you let them go, we will let you leave." "If you let them go, we will continue to protest peacefully." [Meaning, they will otherwise resort to violence.]
C) Part III of III
i) At 4:08, the cops again try to remove an individual and are met with resistance. THAT is when they FINALLY resort to pepper spray. Judging by the reaction (or lack thereof), this must have been a pretty dilute mixture. Pepper spray produces discomfort, but it is absolutely harmless. It is designed to REDUCE the level of resistance, REDUCE the level of violence and REDUCE the odds of injury as the arrest is made. Ultimately, the pepper spray proves to be inadequate against this angry mob -- the angry mob retains control of the situation.
ii) At 8:07, the angry mob begins the process of intimidating the badly outnumbered Campus Police officers out of the park.
D) Thanks to the shameless propaganda from the Lame Stream Media, the outcome at the moment is:
The ILLEGAL encampment remains, the rule of law has been tossed in the shitter, the nation has yet another ObamaVille encampment sure to produce (by design) the same mayhem we have seen from the others and a lot of innocent people are being persecuted by a mob of fools who fell for the propaganda produced & directed by the UC Davis mob.
“Breaking news: two years after the Climategate, a further batch of emails has been leaked onto the internet by a person – or persons – unknown. And as before, they show the ‘scientists’ at the heart of the Man-Made Global Warming industry in a most unflattering light. Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Ben Santer, Tom Wigley, Kevin Trenberth, Keith Briffa – all your favourite Climategate characters are here, once again caught red-handed in a series of emails exaggerating the extent of Anthropogenic Global Warming, while privately admitting to one another that the evidence is nowhere near as a strong as they'd like it to be.
In other words, what these emails confirm is that the great man-made global warming scare is not about science but about political activism.”

“County officials this week released a list of 93 complaints of disruptive and illegal behavior near the county's main offices and courthouse, adjacent to the Occupy Santa Cruz camp…
At least one incident on the county list wasn't noted by the Sheriff's Office: the discovery of an estimated 200 pounds of human feces near the county Veterans Memorial Building, just across the Water Street bridge from the camp.
The county called in a hazardous materials team to clean up the mess, and installed a security fence around the building, which is closed for renovations. There is no evidence that linked the excrement to the camp.”
No evidence linking the excrement to the ringworm infested camp that sits just across the bridge? REALLY? Geez! Just a coincidence, I’m SURE.
Great! The vermin are (literally) crapping all over the Veterans Memorial Building. What more does anybody need to know about them?
So, even if we pretend the OWS pests did not create the massive pile of pooh, we’re STILL left with 93 rap sheet entries from a SINGLE ObamaVille camp.
Click here and just imagine if that attempt at compiling a more comprehensive OWS rap sheet list came anywhere even remotely close to documenting all of the mayhem caused by these brats.
The politically correct morons at UC Davis will soon rue the day they did not take MORE aggressive action to rid their campus of this infestation.
Steamboat Springs is not entirely immune to the Occupy infestation of Marxist wealth redistribution stupidity.
During the Occupy “day of action” (11/17/11), a whopping seven protestors showed up in front of our courthouse. Odds are they all attend our local political indoctrination camp (which purports to be a community college.)
In a bit of irony, the “Occupy Earth” sign was painted on a cardboard box from Home Depot (the evil, greedy corporation that provides their customers with the best values on the planet in home improvement goods.) Looking at her representation of Earth’s continents, one can only hope she is not a geography major.
On the bright side… As far as I know, our protestors committed no crimes.
“To what extent is this entire [Climate Alarmist] movement simply a green Trojan horse, whose belly is full with red Marxist socioeconomic doctrine?”
To which I respond:
DUH!
Watch the PBS series “Commanding Heights” (describing the century long battle between Socialism and Capitalism for the Commanding Heights of the global economy). At the very apex of those Commanding Heights is the energy sector.
CAGW is simply the latest front line in a century old war. CAGW is nothing more and nothing less than a full frontal Marxist attack on the very apex of the Commanding Heights of the global economy.
Climate Alarmist Naomi Klein then answers Rothchild’s question by alleging:
“If we are not on a radically different energy path by the end of this decade, we are in for a world of pain…
arriving at these new systems is going to require shredding the free-market ideology”
To which I say:
Balderdash!
There is NO reason to panic and there is EVERY reason why we should RETURN TO a free-market system (the ONLY system which -- when the time comes -- will have ANY chance of eventually of moving human civilization beyond a hydrocarbon based economy.)
Click here and see that Naomi’s CAGW cult has cynically exploited a mutidecadal warming phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation -- once we eliminate the influence of the AMO, we’re left with nothing more than the very gradual, perfectly natural, quite steady, multicentury long warming of 0.5C per century described in Akasofu, 2010.

The National Lawyers Guild strikes yet another blow against private property rights AND the rule of law. Zuccotti Park is privately owned, but open to the public (with legal restrictions governing how much access is allowed). The court just ignored the rule of law and arbitrarily changed the rules. That’s the sort of capricious tyranny we expect in a Communist country.
“Hundreds of police officers in riot gear before dawn Tuesday raided the New York City park where the Occupy Wall Street protests began, evicting and arresting dozens of protesters from what has become the epicenter of the worldwide movement with other cities, such as Dallas and London likely to follow suit.
Hours later, the National Lawyers Guild obtained a court order allowing the protesters to return with their tents to the park, where they have camped for two months. The guild said the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on the protesters who are now looking for squatters rights, despite park rules banning camping overnight.”
The National Lawyers Guild has never openly declared themselves to be a Marxist organization. But, there is absolutely no daylight between their agenda and the agenda of any Marxist organization in the world.
“Just a few days after the U.S. said it would delay approval of an oil pipeline that would boost Canadian exports to the U.S., Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Sunday the country would push to sell its crude to Asian markets instead.”
So, thanks to the political cowardice of the Obama administration, the USA is likely to lose out on jobs and energy at a time when we desperately need both.
“Setting the stage for a historic constitutional confrontation over federal power, the Supreme Court on Monday granted three separate cases on the constitutionality of the new federal health care law, and set aside 5 1/2 hours for oral argument, to be held in March.”
“‘Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America…
In the name of decency, go home to your parents, you losers. Go back to your mommas’ basements and play with your Lords Of Warcraft.
Or better yet, enlist for the real thing. Maybe our military could whip some of you into shape.”

“By dutifully reporting individual incidents but not reporting on the growing scope and size of Occupy Wall Street lawlessness, the MSM is willfully covering up the violence, vandalism, and anti-Semitism that truly does define this movement…
What I’ve collected below is far from comprehensive but still shows over 75 incidents of sexual assault, violence, vandalism, anti-Semitism, extortion, perversion, and lawlessness.
The MSM could easily tell the story of how this violence-prone movement is becoming an increasing threat to our society. After all, my research below is the result of nothing more than Twitter and Google. Among others, The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, and the LA Times have willfully chosen not to use the resources at their disposal to give the public an honest look at this growing menace. In their partisan minds, truth doesn’t trump agenda.”

“You can’t just walk in and take our stuff!” was the defense offered for a sign at OWS reading “Food is for OWS only!”. A fistfight ensued.

How drug addled (or tyrannical) must one be to think that shutting down Burger King is a legitimate political agenda?
Europe is collapsing under the weight of their entitlement mentality. We’re next in line. And, these morons are worried about Burger King serving customers who -- of their own free will -- wait in line for what Burger King offers them? REALLY?
If you watched Michelle Bachmann getting shouted down by an Occupy mob, the (really disturbing) video in the link below will look very familiar -- unthinking automatons mindlessly regurgitating every insane word uttered by their “leaders”.
But, what is really disturbing about this video is how the American Left has indoctrinated American Jews to side with those who want to completely eradicate the state of Israel.

I confess… I could only bear to watch half of the video. It was nauseating.
The proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline (from Canada to Texas) pits one Obama base against another. Union bosses want the jobs; environmental extremists (predictably) oppose everything having anything to do with hydrocarbons.
“[This project] has been subject to 36 months of review - dutifully following a prescribed process that resulted in thousands of pages of documentation”
After all that bureaucratic red tape, Obama -- scared to death of alienating either base -- played the coward, kicked the can down the road, put the blame on the State Department and destroyed what little confidence anybody in the private sector might have had that there was any chance of creating jobs and doing business under the capricious tyranny of this loony tunes administration.
With this move, the Narcissist-in-Chief once again demonstrates that the ONLY thing he cares about is trying to get reelected.
“The Obama administration… announced Thursday that it would review the route of the disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline, effectively delaying any decision about its fate until after the 2012 election…
The move is the latest in a series of administration decisions pushing back thorny environmental matters beyond next November’s presidential election…
Mr. Obama said in an interview with an Omaha television station last week that he would make the ultimate decision about the pipeline, but sought to portray Thursday’s announcement as solely a State Department matter and not the result of political calculation…
TransCanada said that it would work with the State Department to find a new route, but warned that delay could kill the project, and with it tens of thousands of construction and related jobs and billions of dollars in tax revenues.”

Today, during a campaign appearance in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Michelle Bachmann was shouted down by an Occupy mob. The police escorted her off stage to ensure her safety:

It is an undeniable scientific fact that life begins at conception.
The moment when life begins is -- by definition -- a transformational event. At the moment of conception, two haploid cells transform into a diploid cell and become a unique human being. Every moment after conception is a transitional event which varies in timing with each pregnancy. Every other attempt to define the moment when life begins is a purely political contrivance whose sole intent is to rationalize homicide.
I choose the word homicide carefully. Because, even with abortion, there are certain instances where there is such a thing as “justifiable homicide” -- for example when the mother’s life is clearly in danger.
Personally, I would (not easily) tend to say that rape is also grounds for the “justifiable homicide” of a child conceived during that rape. But, I would also have deep respect for any woman willing to let that child live.
The following video features one such individual who was allowed to live.
The American people are fed up with sleazy politics and even sleazier so-called “journalists”. Tonight, at the Republican debate in Michigan, the audience very clearly expressed their displeasure with both. My own contempt for this level of sleaze was the final nudge necessary to push me off the platform and onto the Cain Train.
Anytime anybody tests the effectiveness of the TSA, the consistent conclusion is that pretty much anybody can get pretty much anything onboard any airplane they pick.
So, why would anybody be surprised to discover that the much vaunted national test of the Emergency Alert System would result in unmitigated failure?
Not only did the test fail miserably, but the federal bureaucrats cannot yet even assess the scope and scale of the failure. So, in the event of a true national emergency, rest assured -- you’re on your own (always have been, always will be).
Quoting the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman:
“The weaknesses exposed by today's test of the emergency alert system are unacceptable.”

So, here we have a federal bureaucracy which -- in its current form -- has been around since 1/1/1997. If traced back through its previous incarnations (via the previous link), the bureaucracy dates back to 1951. In all that time, nobody thought it might be a good idea to test this thing? And, when the pinheads finally do get around to testing it, it fails miserably?
GEEZ! Can anybody tell me why on earth we would want the federal government (or any other level of government) managing our health care system (or any other aspect of our personal lives)?
The Occupy vermin don’t want jobs. They seemingly only want to destroy the very people who create jobs -- small business owners.
As is often the case, there is nothing I can add to what Dave Blount at Moonbattery has already said about the latest atrocities committed by the Occupy vermin infesting Zucotti Park and other locales.
What was the final nudge that pushed me off the platform and onto the train? Sleazy attempts at character assassination. If Herman Cain had been convicted by a jury of his peers in a criminal court of law and found guilty of sexual misconduct, that would be relevant. Short of that standard, I don’t give two flea farts what anybody has to say. This is the sleaziest of sleazy politics -- nothing more. If THIS is the best they’ve got, then you’ve got to know the Cain Train is UNSTOPPABLE!
Beyond that, so-called “journalists” bought my ticket onto the Cain Train:
“the broadcast network news outlets of ABC, CBS and NBC ran a total of 84 stories on the sexual harassment allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain in the week following Politico publishing its hit piece.
That is more coverage than they gave to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's connections to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, convicted real estate developer Tony Rezko, or America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright throughout the entire campaign.”
Now back to the issues… Where a candidate stands on climate change is absolutely critical to our most central issue -- the Federal deficit and debt. When the IEA tells us it will take $45 TRILLION to mitigate CO2, you can count on it taking at least a full order of magnitude more than that. The worst part is, it will have NO EFFECT what-so-ever on the climate. The ONLY thing that utterly corrupt, crony capitalist spending spree would do is to hasten the impending fiscal collapse of all of Western Civilization.
If we are to have ANY hope of avoiding this fiscal collapse, it is IMPERATIVE that we have a President who is unabashedly opposed to unspeakably arrogant politicians pretending they can micromanage climate change.
Herman Cain is that man:

At 2:30 in the clip below thugs apparently injure an elderly woman. Around 3:30 another elderly woman is apparently injured. They block the road then allege 2 protesters are run over. We’ve seen that faked again and again. This seems to be the latest con to be run by the lawless mobs.
Occupy DC behaving like the thugs they are:
Click here for the report associated with the video. Click here for the previous OWS post. Click here for all OWS posts.
Virtually everybody in the media is shocked -- SHOCKED, I tell you -- to see that the Occupy Everything mobs have resorted to violence, destruction, mayhem and lawlessness. Oakland is the latest and currently most visible example of the OWS mobs across the country behaving this way.
The media are bending over backwards to claim those responsible are not part of the OWS crowd. The media meme is that these are a tiny minority of anarchists which have infiltrated the overwhelming majority of OWS “peaceful protesters”.
I have yet to see anybody in the media (in relation to the Oakland debacle) mention that a Democratic pollster surveyed the Manhattan “peaceful protesters” and found that 31% of them openly endorsed violence as a means to advance a “deep commitment to radical left-wing policies” (a commitment which was pervasive throughout the crowd). I would wager a very, very large majority of the Occupy Everything mobs all across the country would openly endorse vandalism -- too bad the Democratic pollster did not ask that question.
Just to establish a baseline… This is how these people regularly behave at home in their daily lives. We all see it in our own neighborhoods all the time. Bring them all together and you simply see a super-concentrated example of what they do to their own neighborhoods on a daily basis.
Beyond that… If the organizers of the OWS mobs were not eager to see these results, why did they structure their protests in a way that was absolutely guaranteed to produce these results? Are they really that stupid? Or, is this exactly what they wanted and expected all along?
I’m going with the latter… The Left do this all the time. They setup an inherently illegal and destructive protest custom designed to create a conflict with law enforcement and raise tensions to the boiling point with the certain knowledge that the situation will explode. It’s TEXT BOOK! This is EXACTLY what the organizers KNEW would happen!
Hillary Adams -- now 23 years old -- is a brave and eloquent young woman who has exposed her father, Judge William Adams, stepping way over the line in disciplining her when she was 16 years old.

In this post, I further substantiate my assertion that the (perfectly natural) Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation has been the primary driver of global climate change over the last century.
Quoting Dr. Roy Spencer:
“The Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and tropics have all cooled substantially, consistent with the onset of another La Nina, with the tropics now back below the 1981-2010 average…
the temperature free-fall continues so I predict November will see another substantial drop in global temperatures…
taking a line from our IPCC brethren… While any single month’s drop in global temperatures cannot be blamed on climate change, it is still the kind of behavior we expect to see more often in a cooling world.”

Now, in that last image, the black line may not (in Dr. Spencer’s view) hold any predictive value. But, it is a perfect fit with the AMO index for that period. Owing to the means whereby it is calculated, the black line lags the AMO index by pretty much exactly 10 years. In other words, the AMO index bottomed out in 1976 and peaked in 1998. The black line bottomed out in 1986 and peaked in 2008.

Click here and examine how the newly released BEST data demonstrate that the AMO has been the primary driver of climate change over the last century.
If the AMO index remains consistent, why would we not expect global temperatures to continue to reflect the pattern of the AMO index? That would suggest a continued flat trend (in general) through about 2018 followed by about 30 years of substantial cooling.
The video below is from Accuracy in Media. Quoting the text uploaded with the video:
“After more than a month of protest demands for better employment opportunities and benefits, Accuracy in Media saw fit to test their desires with...employment applications. Our ‘headhunters’ were treated to every excuse as to why these jobs aren't good enough for them. We guess middle management opportunities with healthcare and 401k benefits aren't desirable anymore.”
Does the Occupy D.C. mob want to work? Apparently, not:
“Dana1981 is a 29-year-old Prius driver and the owner of several other alternative vehicles who has mistakingly received a bachelor degree in astrophysics and a master degree in physics, so he or she became a self-described environmental scientist who is ‘passionate’ about the climate hysteria.”
Dana1981, like all “sustainability” zealots, is blissfully ignorant of just how unsustainable his electric vehicle fantasies are and just how ironic his entire centrally planned “sustainability” nonsense really is.
But, the larger point (for this post) is just how “unmanly” this blissfully ignorant little dweeb is.

Leaving aside all the violence, lawlessness, destruction, filth, drug abuse, public nudity, public sex, utter disrespect for the people who LIVE in the neighborhoods the OWS mobs illegally occupy (and MORE) -- the ONLY thing the two movements have in common is -- they both agree the banks should not have been bailed out.
From there, the TEA Party says NOBODY should be bailed out. In contrast, the OWS brats simply use the bank bailouts as an excuse to demand that they be bailed out and given everything their spoiled brat little hearts might desire for free.
