Another follow-up post. Yeah, I know. Sorry.

This is a follow-up to my post about putting terrorists into the criminal court system which which some of my readers (*cough*TheDave*cough*) took umbrage.

We now have material evidence to show us all what happens when you put highly intelligent, well trained, militant minded terrorists in a U.S. court room. Please follow the link to read the low-lights from the trial of Aafia Siddiqui, an M.I.T. educated, Pakistani microbiologist and Al-Qaeda terrorist who, after captured, tried to shoot an American soldier with his own weapon.

Clicky clicky.

Of course, by “worms” I mean “(big “L”) Liberal democrats in the White House and Congress” and by “turned” I mean “developed complete amnesia over the last 48 hours and expect all the world to see them as rosy cheeked, bi-partisan, can’t-we-all-just-get-along centrists, forgetting the last 12 months of extreme, leftist, socialist, bare-knuckled bullying.”

After months and months of wrangling, strong-arming, and flat out bribing members of their own party to vote in favor of what I will hear-to-after refer to as OPRAH (Obama-Pelosi-Reid Abomination of Healthcare), the tone has suddenly and dramatically changed.

Exhibit A:

From Monday, January 18th…

House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, told reporters in California Monday that the legislation would move forward not matter what.

“Let’s remove all doubt,” Ms. Pelosi said. “We will have health care one way or another. … Certainly the dynamic will change depending on what happens in Massachusetts,” Ms. Pelosi said. “Just the question of how we would proceed. But it doesn’t mean we won’t have a health care bill.”

From Wednesday, January 20th…

Abandoning the health care overhaul is not an option, a senior White House official said. Questioned about the fate of health care legislation, David Axelrod said, “It’s not an option simply to walk away from a problem that’s only going to get worse.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to acknowledge [compromise or abandonment] as a possibility.  “Massachusetts has health care. … The rest of the country would like to have that too,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said. “So we don’t say a state that already has health care should determine whether the rest of the country should. We will get the job done. I’m very confident. I’ve always been confident,” she added.

And now, Exhibit B:

From today, Thursday, January 21st…

“There are certain things the members simply cannot support,” Pelosi said. She cited the tax on so-called “Cadillac” insurance plans, and the special perks for Nebraska as major grievances. “I don’t think it’s possible to pass the Senate bill in the House,” Pelosi said. “I don’t see the votes for it at this time.”

George Stephanopoulos’ Exclusive Interview with President Obama, release this morning (abridged)…

Obama: I would advise that we try to move quickly to coalesce around those elements of the package that people agree on. [ed. “Those elements” do not exist.]

Stephanopoulos: So start again with a smaller core package?

Obama: Well, look, I’m not going to get into the legislative strategy. [ed. This is an important non-denial. He’s washing his hands, yet again, of the dirty work.]

The Scott Brown election has shifted the Democratic machine into full reverse. Check out this quote from staunch Liberal whacko John Kerry welcoming his new colleague to the Hill.

“You have to work across the aisle here to make things happen,” said Kerry. “There have got to be some basic things here that we can all agree on.”

For the last 50 years or so, the only thing any Massachusetts senator has ever done “across the aisle” is throw rocks and daggers.

Remember this, children. Don’t forget. Burn it into your memory. When Liberals got full control of the White House and both houses of Congress, that ran, nay, sprinted as far left as fast as they could. So far, in fact, that many of their own ranks were scared out of voting with them because they knew that their constituents would run them out of town an a rail come election day.

There was no bipartisanship. There was no transparency. There was no compromise. It was balls-to-the-wall socialism and God have mercy on any soul that dared stand in their way. These people have a one track mind and that track is to collect as much power as possible as quickly as possible. You will see over the next 10 months, and, if we’re lucky, the next decade these same people wringing their hands and wailing over how we all must learn to work together and compromise and get along.

IT… IS… AN… ACT! It’s a mask. The man has gone back behind the curtain and fully expects us to believe in Oz again. DON’T FOLLOW ALONG!! Get these people out of our government as fast as you can.

We must remember this day each and every time we step up to an election booth and never let this happen again.

It seems like every day I see another nail added to the global warming coffin. This one was particularly good. Good enough to be blog-worthy.

The Un scientific panel for global warming proselytation, known as the IPCC, will very likely be forced to retract a warning that the Himalayas will be ice free by 2035.

The official Un report was based on a single scientific article published ten years ago which was, in turn, based on a single telephone interview with an Indian scientist who, in turn, based his information on an unpublished and unreviewed report, which, as it turns out, did not mention any specific date for the Himalayan glaciers to melt. That same Indian scientist now admits that the data from his interview was “speculation” and was not supported by any formal research.

Good job, Un. With this kind of rigorous scientific investigation, you’re doing the skeptics job for them. Keep up the good work!

Clicky clicky for the Times (UK) article.

Ok folks. I’ve been hording up links for years and putting this off for far too long. Today, I read a story that broke the polar bear’s back. (Don’t worry. It’s linked below.)

Are you ready for the news flash? Here it is:

The global warming crisis is a lie!

There. Now, don’t you feel better? No? Ok. How about this:

The hole it the ozone layer is a lie!

Still not feeling all warm and fuzzy? Ok.

The acid rain crisis is a lie!

The end of fossil fuels is a lie!

The dangers of coal and nuclear energy is a lie!

The extinction of the whales is a lie!

The deforestation crisis is a lie!

The global over-population crisis is a lie!

Are you starting to see a pattern yet? Well. Let me spell it out for you, just to be sure.

All, yes each and every one, of the above manufactured, sky-is-falling catastrophes were created by, more or less, the same people, for, more or less, the same reason. There are people in this world who truly and religiously believe that mankind is a virus. That you and me and our TVs and our running water and our big fast-food-fed butts are enemies of their beloved Earth. These people really and truly believe that the only way to save their blessed planet is to reverse human productivity, progress, comfort, and happiness (and thus reduce human population).

You might think I’m exaggerating, but, sadly, I’m just scratching the surface. Now, I’m not going to go into all of the psychosis and human-hating logic. All I want to do in this post is expose their modus operandi.

Here’s how it works:

1. The current eco-crisis of the day begins to lose favor when the supposed catastrophe doesn’t materialize, or the media starts to lose interest, or actual scientists manage to find their way into the main stream far enough to debunk the scare tactics.
2. A new eco-crisis must be created and it must meet the following criteria:
   1. It must be tangible. It has to be something people can point to and/or touch and say, “See! The sky IS falling!” (ex. “Hurricane Katrina was awful! Darn that global warming!”)
   2. It must be something impossible (or at least very difficult) to disprove. (ex. “How can you say there is no such thing as acid rain. Prove it!”)
   3. It must be something so terrible that it would cause (were it true) human suffering on a massive scale. (ex. “If we cut down all the trees, there will be no more oxygen for your children to breath!”)
   4. The only possible solution to the crisis must involve curtailing, taxing, regulating, or in some other way decreasing human convenience. (ex. “The only way to save the world is for you to sell your big, safe, convenient SUV and buy a cardboard tissue box with wheels.”)
   5. As an added bonus, the crisis and it’s imaginary resolution should be profitable for the people who join the cause. This way, they’ll be well funded and/or carry political clout that can be spent on the next eco-crisis when this one peters out. (ex.**ALBERT FREAKING GORE**)
3. Now, to get the word out. Conveniently, 90% of the Lame-Stream Media is populated by ex-Berkeley-hippies who thrive on sensationalizing suffering and making everyone who is happy feel guilty about it.
4. After it’s had some time to soak in the nightly news… You know, a pseudo-scientific report here, bit of clever video editing there… It’s time for Mr. Smith to head to Washington. Thank goodness that politicians build their careers on public sentiment rather than facts.
5. Now that this newly minted crisis is in the forefront and; through careful planning, back-door deals, and out-and-out fraud; the critics have been kept at bay (ex. “Denying global warming is on par with denying the Holocaust!“); it’s time to brain wash the children. Make sure that all the cartoons and kids shows are reinforcing our crisis. “Remember kids, your mommy’s SUV is polluting the sky and killing cuddly wuddly polar bears! We may have to cancel Christmas!“
6. At this point, just ride the wave, collect as much fame and money as you can before the crisis-de-jour begins to ebb.
7. Rinse and repeat.

I want you to look this over carefully. I want you to really internalize it. Study it. Know it. Why? Because I am now certain that we are at the tipping point. In the next few years, global warming is going to peter out.

It’s very likely dead already…
– “Climategate”
– “Gore either lying or just terribly stupid”
– And the final nail: “The Mini-Ice-Age has begun”

But this time, thanks to smart people like you and me, and thanks to this marvelous series of tubes, things might just go a little differently.

See, the global warming crisis set a new precedent and it wasn’t a good one for the Earth hugging human haters. This was the first post-internet crisis. For the first time in human history, everyone, millions upon millions of people, have access to the new main stream medium. Smart people with real data can now tell the world the truth. In the next decade, more people will get their information from right here on the web than from the talking heads on the nightly news. Finally, there will be no filtering, no spinning, no iron-fisted control of the facts.

Plus, for the first time, you’ll be able to link back to my posts about the folly of global warming as you, on your blog, tell your readers about the equal folly of whatever is coming next. Let’s just hope it’s more creative than global cooling. Cuz, seriously, how many times are they going to try that? (Hint: I’ve already posted about it here.)

I just couldn’t pass up this story. It’s just too nutty.

According to the Rapid City Journal, Marguerite Engle, 45, from Sturgis, South Dakota, was found, passed out, behind the wheel of a stolen delivery truck just off the highway. She submitted to a blood alcohol test and was released on bond.

After she missed her court date, she was found, passed out, behind the wheel of yet another stolen car. Thankfully, she was jailed immediately.

Now here’s where the story get’s blog-worthy. Her initial blood alcohol test returned the highest (by 40%) blood alcohol ever recorded in South Dakota, possibly in the universe. She clocked in at .708! Yes, her blood was almost 1% alcohol. That’s almost ten times the legal limit, and nearly twice what is commonly considered as lethal (.4).

This woman’s blood had as much alcohol in it as a strong, brewed root beer. It begs the question: How much alcohol percentage is required before human blood becomes flammable? Hmmm.

The 2010 U.S. Census is here and there are lots and lots of bad people out there who will use it as an avenue to rip you off, or worse.

This us pulled verbatim from Snopes:

Since the first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is already underway, reminders about how to ensure you provide information only to official Census Bureau representatives – and provide only the types of information they are authorized to collect – are especially timely. The web site of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers some good advice on this topic:

• If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don’t know into your home.
• Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, it will not ask for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations.
• Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail or in person at home. However, they will not contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail scams impersonating the Census. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an e-mail that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

This is just one small example of why I so dislike the United Nations (the “Un”): Un-Speak.

To accomplish the Un-goals of the Un-Security Counsel and the Un-General Assembly, Un-Speak is all about being completely Un-offensive (and thus  Un-effective) in whatever you have to say.

Regarding the tensions with Libya over the release and glorification of the Lockerbie Bomber, this quote is from U.S. envoy to the Un, Susan Rice. (Emphasis added.)

“How President Gaddafi chooses to comport himself, when he attends the General Assembly and the Security Council in New York, has the potential either to further aggravate those feelings and emotions or not.”

He “has the potential” to make people mad “or not.” Gee, ya think? That’s like saying, “That is the ugliest baby I have ever seen in my entire life or not.”

Actually, the more I think about this, it could come in handy. It could allow me to say more of the tactless things I really want to say without all the weepy backlash.

“Wow! You really let yourself go or not. You must be over 200 pounds or not.”

“You drive like a complete idiot or not. You might be missing a chromosome or not.”

“You are the worst parent I’ve ever seen or not. If you don’t do something about your kid running around the restaurant, screaming, I’m going to strangle him first, then you or not.”

…

As a footnote to this post, the quote above was little more than a footnote to the article which is really about the Bronco Bomber getting in bed with the Un. (Actually more like getting in bed on top of…) (Again, emphasis added.)

Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council.

This should really throw some gas on the whole Anti-Christ conspiracy theory. I prefer to stay out of the Bronco/Anti-Christ conversation. The way I see it, the Anti-Christ is coming and there’s not a darn thing we can do to stop it (or bring it). So I don’t really care that Obama is the Anti-Christ OR NOT.

I hope and pray that there is a special place in hell for the people who thought this was a good idea:

#1 – These pre-lit Christmas trees look like they came from the Skittles factory. Blue, purple, yellow, orange, red and even black!

#2 – It’s FREAKING AUGUST!! Garden Ridge has all of their Christmas decorations on sale (including some of the most God-aweful inflatable blasphame) and it’s FREAKING AUGUST!!!

Vice President Joe “Foot-In-Mouth” Biden leveled the playing field today. Don’t worry about his policies that put American lives at risk (weak border security, wrist-slapping terrorists, anti-military idiocy, etc.) because today, he put his own life at risk.

While shooting the breeze at a fancy-pants dinner with the “media elite”, he revealed the location of the top secret VP bunker (made famous when Dick Cheney spent 9/11 in it). So now any terrorist with internet access knows exactly where Diahrea-Mouth Joe will be during the next attack.

When the poo hit the fan about Joe spilling top secret info, his press secretary responded with a firm, “Nuh uh!”

Seriously. Read it all here.

Parting thought: If a lesser public servant had screwed up that bad, he’d be facing treason charges. Just sayin’.

You’ve got to see this chilling video of New Yorkers reacting to the the Air Force One “photo-op”.
