I told you so...

I have blogged about this issue over and over, and it keeps rearing its ugly head. Climate control wackos are intent on controlling every aspect of our lives, all for their own power, and gain. What a scam. Read this article in a Chinese newspaper--the Chinese are saying they will only sign on to this global warming bill if POPULATION CONTROL is brought into the equation...

"Although China's family planning policy has received criticism over the past three decades, Zhao said that China's population program has made a great historic contribution to the well-being of society.
As a result of the family planning policy, China has seen 400 million fewer births, which has resulted in 18 million fewer tons of CO2 emissions a year, Zhao said."

Hmmm...way to save the world China. I wonder if they count the numerous Chinese children who have been adopted by Americans because of their stringent population control in those numbers, or if they conveniently write them off as just "accidents", in their "great historic contribution to the well-being of society." Read the whole article here:

Population control called key to deal

Doing the math...

Obamacare will have a higher price tag than originally thought...wow...big surprise! During the campaign Obama promised a plan that would lower premiums for the average American family--and lower cost for healthcare in general. Actually, with the plan the senate is proposing--the opposite is true. Premiums for the average family will go up by 20% (and that is just an estimate), and the plan they are proposing will cost Americans 2.5 TRILLION for just the first 10 years. And that's only if the CBO is right on their numbers. For example, the Medicare prescription drug plan actually cost TRIPLE the amount that the CBO estimated it would. Read this article, and then call your senator...AGAIN!:

Obamacare's Ugly Math
The Senate's $2.5 trillion bill will create higher taxes and higher premiums with little return.

Following the MONEY$$$...

I have said before that the whole Global Warming scam was about green companies, and politicians making more money by pushing this fraud on the public, and making large corporations pay out the nose. This week was a good one for me and others who have thought that global warming, or "climate change" was a fraud to begin with. In fact, my poor daughter had to write a paper and sit through a movie just this week about how "real" this threat is to our world. What a load of CRAP! (She might get a bad grade--because she lives with "nonbelievers" who wouldn't let her write a politically correct opinion on the subject...). This was a good article today in the Wall Street Journal:

Godless Christmas?

Doesn't this ad just add to the Christmas spirit? Athiests aren't happy with people enjoying the Christmas season, so they have put up billboards and ads all over America to try to "convert" more people to their athiest lifestyle. Isn't that just charming? Do you think that people who don't believe in a God really do a lot of "good for goodness sakes?" I don't. I'm sure it's been researched somewhere--and I don't have the data, but I'd be willing to bet my life that people who believe in God, no matter what God it is, do more good than people who believe in nothing. I'm just saying.

Bill O'Reilly has an article this week on this very subject:

Treating Terrorists better than Soldiers...

Check out this story from the Washington Examiner about 3 Navy Seals who are being tried for *gasp* giving a terrorist who they captured a big fat lip. Meanwhile, the 3 masterminds of the 9/11 attacks are being held in a cushy hotel room somewhere in NY waiting for their "fair trial". Are you kidding me???

Our Pushover President...

Today's read from Pat Buchanan. I have had differences with Buchanan in the past, but lately, to me, he seems right on the mark. Who knows, maybe Buchanan is coming back around to the conservative side of things! Welcome back, Pat.

Our Pushover President

Just another little TAX...

So even as the Democrats prepare to pass the 2,074 page healthcare boondoggle, at a cost of $900 BILLION dollars--and create a whole NEW entitlement program that the government was not ever meant to do, they are complaining that money is running out. For the Afghanistan War that is... Just listen to these idiots... The article is here:
War surtax: 'Pay as you fight'
“We’re not trying to insult anybody. We’re just trying to keep in the forefront what the financial costs are,” House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey (D-Wis.) told POLITICO. “We felt conscience bound to speak up”
“It’s conditional, but if we’re going to add 40,000 troops, people ought to know what the costs are,” said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.). “It’s important for people to understand how these wars are adding to our deficits.”
Dubbed the “Share the Sacrifice Act,” the six-page bill exempts anyone who has served in Iraq or Afghanistan since the 2001 terrorist attacks as well as families who have lost an immediate relative in the fighting. But middle-class households earning between $30,000 and $150,000 would be asked to pay 1% on top of their tax liability today — a more sweeping approach than many Democrats have been willing to embrace.
By comparison, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) has spoken only of an added tax on the wealthy. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) remains hesitant about any surtax to cover the war: “Someone has to demonstrate how it can be done,” he told POLITICO in a statement Monday.
"Share the sacrifice"??? Hey you idiots on capitol hill--how about the government do what it's meant to do and provide for the defense of this country instead of providing healthcare and food stamps, and cash benefits, and housing to a bunch of LOSERS who won't get up off their butt and get a freakin' job. How about taking that 900 BILLION and putting it to better use by providing for our military men and women who you are duty bound to serve? "We felt concience bound to speak up"??? Are you kidding me? No one on Capitol Hill--especially with a D by their name has a conscience--nor do they have a soul. And, "only an added tax on the wealthy"??? Do you really think that after the 5% healthcare tax, and the Obama tax hike, and the crap economy there will be any wealthy left? (Besides politicians of course, who get bribed openly now for their votes...). Who in their right mind wants to be wealthy anymore just so the government can take it from you?? I am about to pop a blood vessel in my brain...

Weasel...

Check out this video from O'Reilly last night. It was unbelievable to listen to this weasel lawyer--who graduated from the Air Force Academy of all places (which means taxpayers paid for his tuition, good thing)sit and do a little whine session over the poor, poor, misunderstood terrorists, who will never get a fair trial. WAAAAAAHHHHH. Cry me a river. Why oh why do we not still have treason laws in this country? This guy is a disgrace. Excuse me while I throw up...

Okay--I LIKE her...

When Sarah Palin was chosen as John McCain's running mate the media went CRAZY. They immediately went on the attack, finding anything they could to discredit, and even make fun of this relative newcomer to the political stage. Despite all of their efforts--American's seemed to LIKE her. There was something about her that was different. Maybe she didn't talk like all the other politicians out there--she did things her own way. That was, until the McCain campaign put a muzzle on this poor woman, and it went downhill from there. I'll admit, some of her interviews were a little rocky--but I really believe that Americans don't care so much about the intelectual capacity of a person, as long as that person is HONEST. You see, with Sarah Palin, what people love is that she is a REAL person--she says what she thinks, even if it gets her into trouble at times. After her speech at the Republican National Convention--(I blogged about it HERE), I got back on board with the McCain campaign. I wasn't excited about voting for HIM--but I sure was excited to cast my vote for HER. McCain's mistake was not recognizing that Palin was his greatest asset--he should've taken her personality and run with it. She was everything to voters that McCain was NOT. Seeing her come back onto the national stage this week is a breath of fresh air. Now if she can stay away from handlers, and stay true to herself--and her values--Democrats will have someone to fear in 2012. Cal Thomas wrote a great article about this today:

Club Gitmo...It's a reality...

Check out this video from Michelle Malkin's blog with an up close and personal tour of Gitmo. Then ask yourself--is this the picture you had in your head? Or did you think that Gitmo was nearer to Hell on earth the way that the media has portrayed it? Amazing...

Wasteful Spending...

This article today, via Drudge is just more evidence, on top of the mountain of evidence we already have that our government is too big, too massive, and too unorganized to be trusted with our tax dollars. And they want to add MORE bureaucracy in the form of Obamacare? Let me ask you--how much money did YOU waste this year? Well the government estimates that they wasted at least--get this--98 BILLION of your tax dollars. On what? Mostly Medicare and Medicaid--the healthcare that government already runs. Please BEG your senator not to vote for this healthcare bill! We CANNOT afford to let the government screw up another industry more than they already have! The article is here:

Improper US Government Payments Hit $98 Billion

If you have trouble grasping that number--like most of us who have never had a million dollars--much less a BILLION...take a look at this video which puts it into perspective:

Finally...

I have been waiting for weeks for someone to put this argument into words that I could more easily convey, so that I can better repudiate the people making this argument. I have heard SO MANY smart, even conservative people make this argument about having Obamacare be mandatory. They say, "Well, car insurance is mandatory, do you have a problem with that?" IT'S NOT THE SAME THING!!! I especially love this quote from the last paragraph of the article:
"Since not one single element of this hypothetical currently exists, and since breathing is not a privilege, my request is simple. During the two weeks that are fair to allow this column to circulate through society, simply boo anyone who makes the car insurance argument in public. Thereafter, I recommend noogies. It’s what one does to recalcitrant freshmen."
Just a fair warning--I plan on skipping the booing altogether--and going right to the noogie. Do NOT try this argument with me!

Lunacy...

I can't think of any better word to describe THIS:

9/11 suspects face trial in NYC
Civilian trial for Gitmo detainees sets off intense political debate
Oh--not to be worried! Attorney General Holder says that he is just doing "what's best for the American people." Ummm...I kinda think that Kalid Sheik Mohammed with a bullet in his head would be better for the American people than bringing him here to this country, housing him in a clean hotel room for a 6 month to a year long trial where he will have a lawyer who will no doubt talk at length about all the meanie, weenie, torturous things that the EVIL U.S. government did to him. It will be a mockery of our system, and our way of life. Not to mention a huge risk to our own people. What if he gets some liberal jury who feels sorry for this schmuck and lets him off on technicalities? What happens if we get some liberal judge who feels sorry about all of the "torture", and won't let evidence be admitted to prove their guilt? What happens if our system lets these men go free? Why have we not heard more about this this week? Only in America!
More from America hating Attorney General Holder:
"He said a grand-jury indictment soon will be returned against:
• Mohammed, who has admitted spearheading the planning but whom U.S. interrogators subjected to simulated drowning techniques at a secret overseas prison after his capture in March 2003.
• Ramzi Binalshibh, who was turned away at the U.S. border four times before the attacks.
• Waleed bin Attash, who the U.S. government says was intended to be a hijacker.
• Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, suspected of being the paymaster.
• Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, a Pakistan-based operative who reportedly transferred money to the U.S. operatives.
All five have been held for years at Guantanamo Bay.
Asked about the decision at a Tokyo news conference before Holder's announcement, Obama said: "I am absolutely convinced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be subject to the most exacting demands of justice. The American people will insist on it, and my administration will insist on it."

Exacting demands of justice? Not by treating prisoners of war like they are better than the American people that you were elected to serve. Amazing. On a good note--listen to someone who has some sense: Rudy Guliani. I wish more people felt as strongly as he does on this issue.

Political Correctness Strikes Again...

Sometimes we are so worried in this country about being politically correct, it seems we have to defy all common sense to explain things to our children. After the mass killing this week at Fort Hood, my child's 7th grade social studies teacher had the killer all figured out. She told the kids that war was an ugly thing. This poor, poor man had been through hell in the war in Iraq, and was probably just so disturbed, just so scarred by what he saw at war that he couldn't bear to go back there again to face it. What's more, he was trying to "save" some of his fellow soldiers who were going to be going there for the first time--by killing them. HUH? I was furious as I explained to her that the teacher needed to get her facts straight before she stood up to teach. First of all, the man had NEVER been to war. He had been educated, paid for by our tax dollars, and taught all about how to counsel men coming home from war. He was being paid well for his service, and now it was his turn to do what he signed up to do--go to war. Secondly, it wasn't like he would be fighting on the front lines. He would be somewhere in a nice office, doing his psychology thing, and "counseling" his fellow soldiers, supposedly helping them through the war, and their problems. In reality--this man was a pathetic coward. He hated our country, and his fellow soldiers. He didn't agree with the war, or it's mission, or his own leadership. Why, I ask then, won't anyone call this attack what it is? A TERRORIST attack? This is the very definition of a terrorist attack. This man is the very definition of a terrorist--a wolf in sheep's clothing. Wearing the uniform of a military that he loathed. Once again--political correctness gets in the way of calling it like it is.
I have put in a call to the teacher--to make sure she has her facts straight, and if she is going to talk about current events--she needs to know what she's talking about, and cover both sides of the story. What if she has a student who is a son or daughter of a soldier? Don't we need to worry about their feelings? I mean as long as we are worried about the terrorist's feelings, don't we need to worry about the soldier as well--who is putting his life on the line as we speak, so you can stand up there and teach my children? Harsh? Maybe. But I'm just sick of the apologists. No doubt there will be plenty of them in the time it takes to nurse this sicko back to health and then examine his convoluted brain to see what would possibly "make him" do something like this. It was probably the meanies, and the bullies, who made fun of him for his beliefs. Wa Wa Wa--cry me a river.You know what--I don't care! Hook him up to the electric chair--or better yet, shoot him dead as he lies helpless and unarmed in his hospital bed. That's all this scumbag deserves. A good read:

Raging Flu...???

Now President Obama has declared a "National Emergency" for the so called "Swine Flu Pandemic"--scary right? I think what's scary is the misinformation that is running rampant when it comes to the Swine Flu, and the statistics that are misleading, and shaky at best. Read this article, and see if you agree. I think this whole "pandemic" is a way to scare people--and get them onboard for the government to "save us" with a new healthcare bill. Did you know that the World Health Organization declared the Swine Flu a pandemic because they changed the definition of pandemic right before coming out with this information? They no longer have to take into account the number of deaths before declaring something a pandemic. By these rules, Athlete's Foot could be the next killer pandemic coming to a school near you--are you scared???

A great article from World Net Daily, by Pat Buchanan:

Traditional Americans are losing their nation

I couldn't agree more...

A Warning to Americans...

Once this treaty is signed, it will be too late. Don't let Obama sign our sovereignity away!!! We need to speak up!

Really??? The Nobel Peace Prize???

Seriously, you have to take your hat off to Barack Obama--the only person on earth who can accomplish so much, without actually having to accomplish anything at all. Ugh...

BTW has anyone noticed that he is actually the Commander in Chief--who is fighting not one but 2 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Oh, you forgot about those--um, ya, so did we--since we haven't heard about the war pretty much since B.O. took office! So, Bush was a war monger--but Barack Obama is the picture of peace and love around the world. Amazing. All hail our Dear Leader!

Ignorance On Display...

A great quote:
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy
out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another
person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to
anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody
else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to
work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the
other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody
else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the
beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by
dividing it."*
* Adrian Rogers, 1931*
