An Obama supporter entertained me mightily with his YouTube offering. Enjoy!
If I were Obamby's 'boys', I'd demand my owner 'distance' himself (and us!) from Jessie! The threat is real..... Jessie has spent 35 years castrating black males.
Even if I write in my own name for President, I'll be voting for Congressional candidates to keep the Loony-Crats from becoming an unstoppable train wreck!
Thanks for the lightbulb, John."...The Bill of Rights did not create rights. It acknowledged them.
...The Framers of the Second Amendment did not say, "The people shall have the right to keep and bear arms." They wrote, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
A major book publisher is planning to release a sexually provocative, fictionalized novel loosely based on First Lady Laura Bush's life during the first week of September - a date that conveniently coincides with the Republican National Convention. Radar Magazine said Curtis Sittenfield's latest tome American Wife, to be published by Random House, 'is sure to send the White House into a fury.'They wish. For eight years, the Left has made attempt after attempt to rouse the President Bush and Mrs. Bush to some sort of horrific outburst. They've not succeeded yet, and I doubt this stunt will either.
"...the result is a strong, rapid pulse of global cooling, "On each occasion that the Sun has done this in the past the World’s mean temperature has dropped by ~ 1 - 2 C." A 2 C drop would be twice as large as all the warming the earth has experienced since the start of the industrial era, and would be significant enough to impact global agriculture output."This supports the theory that sun activity is the main culprit in the waxing and waning of temperature. A natural phenomenon that has been since the sun began to shine.
Like my mother always said, "All that glitters ain't gold.""...Do you have any Republican friends, let alone black ones? If so, how many of them want to make it harder "for the underprivileged"?
You also might want to familiarize yourself with the history of the Democratic and Republican parties, and see which party has stood up longer for the rights of people of color. Do you know that Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution – abolishing slavery, granting citizenship rights to newly freed slaves, and guaranteeing the right to vote (at least on paper) to blacks, respectively?"

Evidence of Violent Eruptions on Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Defies Assumptions about Seafloor Pressure and Volcanism
A research team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has uncovered evidence of explosive volcanic eruptions deep beneath the ice-covered surface of the Arctic Ocean. Such violent eruptions of splintered, fragmented rock—known as pyroclastic deposits—were not thought possible at great ocean depths because of the intense weight and pressure of water and because of the composition of seafloor magma and rock.
"A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.
...He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.
"When it comes to decisions that have to do with our national security and our own survival, at best we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It's not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement," he said.
"It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.OH BUT WAIT !! Hang on a tiny second. An article from the Paris AFP describes what researchers call astonishing...
...one of the most dramatic – and worrying – examples of the impact of global warming on the planet."
"PARIS (AFP) — Recent massive volcanoes have risen from the ocean floor deep under the Arctic ice cap, spewing plumes of fragmented magma into the sea, scientists who filmed the aftermath reported Wednesday.Multiple undersea volanoes under the ice cap spewing eruptions as big as Pompeii?? Uh...could this be the answer to the CAUSE of artic ice melt? Even... dare I say it?....global warming (assuming it even exists)? Makes sense, doesn't it, considering even alarmists cite ocean temperature as a key tipping point.
The eruptions -- as big as the one that buried Pompei -- took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia."
"The Earth was emerging from an ice age 8,200 years ago. Seas were warming and life was heating up. Then quite abruptly and for a relatively short period of time -- about 100 years -- the entire globe chilled down again, by almost 10.8 degrees Fahrenheit (6 Centigrade).Can we, while doing our best to responsibly steward the Earth, let nature take its own course? The article also posits that
One widely held theory for the chill was the sudden release of a substantial amount of fresh water into the northern Atlantic."
"The oceans were able to find their balance relatively quickly in that ancient event, and the effects wore off in about a century, but a century of that kind of change today would create widespread havoc."I'm not so sure it's a havoc that couldn't be managed. Who knows? It might bring crop friendly weather to famine ravaged Africa.
...In fact, the hated speculator is a good guy because his buying and selling reduce volatility and uncertainty in an unpredictable world.I must say, Mr. Stossel makes many very good points in this column. Chiefly that John McCain is a free-market-economy-challenged moron.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) estimates that illegal aliens dumped more than 25 million pounds of trash in the Arizona desert between 1999 and 2005—that is almost 2,100 tons of trash each year.Much easier to declare open borders and bedamned the consequences of giving up our very nation than to do the hard work necessary to protect the US from invaders.
At least 500 illegal roads and thousands of illegal pedestrian trails have been created in US National Parks and Wildlife Refuges.
In 2002 in southern Arizona, illegal aliens were suspected of having caused at least eight major wildfires that burned 68,413 acres.
In May of 2007, illegal aliens set at least five fires in the Coronado National Forest over a 10-day period in an effort to burn out Border Patrol agents conducting a law enforcement operation in the area.
According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, mass illegal immigration ‘is a likely contributing factor in the dramatic 79 percent decline in the U.S. Sonoran pronghorn population between 2000 and 2002.’
With the "rush" to war taking nearly two years, Saddam had plenty of time to stash whatever he wanted.
Look back and open your eyes. Bush CLEARLY stated - over and over and over again in public - that he promised to invade Iraq for many reasons...... only ONE being WMDs.
It's too easy to blame Bush for ....... (insert favorite or convenient issue here). And too stupid. And too dangerous.
...."A sense of incredulity hangs over the way Iraqis see the U.S. political debate taking shape.I have long since opined that it is ludicrous for the US to kowtow to 'popular' opinion among other nations and even worse deadly to base internal national policy on external opinion.
...The Iraqis are even more incredulous about Mr. Obama's willingness to negotiate with Iran, which they see as a predatory regime. "Do you Americans forget what the Iranians did to your embassy?" asks the governor. "Don't you know that Ahmadinejad was one of [the hostage takers]?"
Just to summarize the storyline to date: During the housing boom of the last five years, people with bad credit histories, many of whom lied about their income and nature of employment, got mortgage loans they weren't qualified for to buy homes they couldn't afford. Now that home prices have stopped rising, and the house can't be refinanced or sold at a profit, Congress wants the taxpayer to subsidize the mortgages so these folks can remain in their unaffordable homes.There are more of us that can't, or never could, afford to purchase our own home at all (including me) than those who are now in mortgages they can't and probably never really could afford.
Nothing physically devastates the Earth like poverty because an individual or community's urge to eat today trumps concern for the future of the environment, even with the knowledge that one's activities are destroying any hope of sustainability and one will shortly return to the previous state of desperation.President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has encouraged farmers to cultivate already damaged areas rather than clear more land. About 20 percent of Brazil's share of the Amazon, the world's largest rain forest, already has been razed.
Environmentalists say runoff from sugar mills will pollute the region regardless, and since it's cheaper to raze virgin forest than recover already denuded land, illegal deforestation will be hard to control once Amazon sugar farming wins broad support.
They also worry that financial success for sugarcane crops will prompt farmers to plow deeper into the Amazon.
Many of the scientists featured in this report consistently stated that numerous colleagues shared their views, but they will not speak out publicly for fear of retribution. Atmospheric scientist Dr. Nathan Paldor, Professor of Dynamical Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, author of almost 70 peer-reviewed studies, explains how many of his fellow scientists have been intimidated.I'm as concerned as anyone else about the health of Earth's environment. I'm not against humans leaving the 'smallest possible footprint' but I honestly think that since Gore - after having been 'backseated' by Slick Willie's star power, having been humiliated when Bush withdrew the US from the Kyoto Treaty (Gore being an author of said treaty) and his failed bid for the Whitehouse - is really hating being dragged kicking and screaming into obscurity. Honestly, just who can take him seriously with his personal energy-sucking lifestyle? Certainly no one who is the least bit intellectually honest.
“Many of my colleagues with whom I spoke share these views and report on their inability to publish their skepticism in the scientific or public media,” Paldor wrote.
"I would like to suggest a few symbolic actions that might really mean something. One of them, which is very simple, 99% of the American population doesn’t care, is ban private jets. Nobody needs to fly in them, ban them now. And, and in addition, let’s have the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council), the Sierra Club and Greenpeace make it a rule that all of their members cannot fly on private jets. They must get their houses off the [electrical] grid. They must live in the way that they’re telling everyone else to live. And if they won’t do that, why should we? And why should we take them seriously?Like, don't pee down our back and tell us its raining, man!
I suddenly think about my friends, you know, getting on their private jets. And I think, well, you know, maybe they have the right idea. Maybe all that we have to do is mouth a few platitudes, show a good, expression of concern on our faces, buy a Prius, drive it around for a while and give it to the maid, attend a few fundraisers and you’re done. Because, actually, all anybody really wants to do is talk about it."
"I mean, haven’t we actually raised temperatures so much that we, as stewards of the planet, have to act? These are the questions that friends of mine ask as they are getting on board their private jets to fly to their second and third homes."
"Why the increase? Their 2004 study, and other more recent ones, point to the warming of the planet and the presence of CO2, a gas indispensable to plant life. CO2 is nature's fertilizer, bathing the biota with its life-giving nutrients. Plants take the carbon from CO2 to bulk themselves up -- carbon is the building block of life -- and release the oxygen, which along with the plants, then sustain animal life. As summarized in a report last month, released along with a petition signed by 32,000 U. S. scientists who vouched for the benefits of CO2: "Higher CO2 enables plants to grow faster and larger and to live in drier climates. Plants provide food for animals, which are thereby also enhanced. The extent and diversity of plant and animal life have both increased substantially during the past half-century."Looks like global cooling is way more dangerous than warming!
Consumer(s) shall pay an additional TBD% of and above the purchase price for the purpose of taxation to the seller who shall forward said TBD% to appropriate authorities.This puts control of the nation's taxes squarely in the pocket of its citizens and forces the government to be wise stewards of our nation.
I'd be willing to bet that if the entire nation faithfully and consistently recycled everything it could get its hands on, that cost would diminish to a point where it became energy efficient - maybe even as far as negative zero sum.
We're also talking job creation as well. Jobs that are low-, medium- and high-tech. Needed would be an army of personnel to create, build and maintain a vast infrastructure; another army of personnel to run an industry that permeates every single community. A GREEN industry that takes trash
I hate to see the government micromanage America, but would mandatory recycling be a good law?
Do we need a law to jump start a national mission to efficiently recycle?
That being said it is now time. We have the technology to mitigate effects of energy exploration and recovery on the environment to an acceptable degree and to maximize the efficient use of the fossil fuels that we collect.
However, without a comprehensive approach to exploiting ALL sources of energy and not just oil, we're bound to spend the next couple of decades in the political "do we/do we not" swamp on Capitol Hill. America needs to adopt the mentality of a nation at war. Like WW2. Because. We. Are. At. War. (Like it or not.)
And we get our energy from all our frenemies.
That must not happen.
