Folks, ‘climate change’ means big money for certain interests. It’s the new ‘green’ technology, but bogus as a three dollar bill. We are at the point now where dissenting opinions notwithstanding, Obamanation is going to entice the Democratic controlled congress to carry us down another road of no return. First the bank bailouts, then the insurance bailouts, then the securities bailouts, then the auto bailouts (coming soon) and now on top of the taxes we will be seeing for nationalized health care, we got to pay for passing gas (see my upcoming article if you don’t believe me). Of course though, what difference does it make to the fat cats in Congress who already are millionaires? This cap and trade will be ‘consumer hostile’ legislation where the costs will be born by you and I.

The Environmental Protection Agency concluded Friday that greenhouse gases linked to climate change “endanger public health and welfare,” setting the stage for regulating ‘greenhouse gases’ under federal clean air laws. This EPA action marks the first step toward imposing limits on pollution linked to climate change, which would mean tighter rules for cars and power plants. Agency officials cautioned such regulations are expected to be part of a lengthy process and not issued anytime soon.

Hogwash, Obama is trying to cram everything he can into the agenda sent to the Congress so he is sort of shooting for the moon and hoping to catch a ride on a meteor before he crashes and burns. He has already told congress: “Send me legislation that places market based cap on carbon pollution.”

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., whose Environment and Public Works Committee is considering climate legislation, said the EPA finding—stalled by the Bush administration—is long overdue but that “the best and most flexible way” to deal with the problem is for Congress to take action on a broader approach.

In other words folks, Congressmen are serious about us sending them to Washington to lead, though apparently it does not matter if the path ‘leads’ over a cliff. ‘Broaden’ the brush strokes, grab onto every possibility. Make it so huge that the frazzled taxpayers will be bedazzled when they ‘cut’ down the proposed a mite such that the Congress will seem like veritable fiscal conservative geniuses.

Folks, in this societal climate of political correctness where the Word and Thought Police are cruising around looking for offenders off their ‘usual suspects list’, it seems that only those to the right of center have the distinction of being the favorite whipping boys.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano was forced to rethink the wording of a controversial government report after veterans groups and Republican lawmakers charged it suggested veterans of the Iraq or Afghanistan wars could easily turn into right-wing extremists. This, they said, was offensive.

The report, published April 7, detailed what DHS called a resurgence of “right-wing extremism brought about by the current economic downturn and the election of the nation’s first black president.” It was prepared by the Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

The report also described those who belong to groups that advocate for conservative perspectives on issues such as immigration reform, gun rights and abortion were extremists.

Among the most prominent groups raising an objection was the American Legion. The group’s president wrote a letter to Ms. Napolitano reminding the DHS Secretary American veterans should not be considered the enemy. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, ladies and gentlemen; the Department of Homeland Security (the Motherland, sic) has put out a nine page report to the police that lists all the ‘right wing radicals’ whom poise a threat to the country today. “A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines “rightwing extremism in the United States” as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority. “It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning says.

As I understand it, the report basically starts on supposedly the ‘far right’, lists everything in existence nearing the ‘center’ and lists everything to the left of center as acceptable radicalism. Likely this report is going to become a classic and anyone who feels they have an affinity for Washington, Jefferson, Madison, to Reagan and so forth will be insulted should they not appear on subsequent lists naming the potential malefactors that have to be ‘kept an eye on.’

According to the report, we need to keep a close watch on returning veterans since “Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. I guess those veterans who were lucky enough to make it back home have to be labeled something sinister to keep them from getting all those wonderful military benefits they are entitled to. Chris Dodd is obviously jealous that their benefits may eat into his retirement, so the less drain there, the more to go around. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.” Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps one of the most infuriating things other than that polls show that only 53% of this country believe capitalism is better than socialism is the 53% of people who voted to elect Barack Obama, an absolute do-nothing, with the most liberal voting record in the Senate during the brief time he was there running for President. It is a surreal feeling watching the manipulation of world markets by Obama and the other members of the G8 in their machinations to exploit the current situation to attain their life-long dream of a world economic system controlled by a central apparatus.

Another example of how we will be forced to conform will be thru the ‘green system’. New technology to save the world and control the lifestyles of the inhabitants of those in the more wealthy countries. Enjoy your air conditioning this summer at your known comfort level, because this time next year, you may go to adjust your thermostat and find a lock mandated by the government that tells you that cooling setting is going to stay right where the government feels it should be set for ‘maximum savings.’ Naturally, since the government will have taken over the power companies, any ‘savings’ will be directed to a special account directed by a government bureaucrat.

For such as this, Obama has stated that the science of global warming is ‘beyond dispute’, and settled. I believe most folks with any degree of intelligence know that the ‘science’ by its basic definition is Never settled, however, with the pundits we have today looking at hundreds of billions of dollars to be had on the scam, there is no stopping them.

Excerpt:

President Obama has said that the science of global warming is “beyond dispute,” and therefore settled.This is the justification for the imposition of a carbon cap-and-trade system that will cost $2 trillion. But Obama does not understand science.”Settled science” is an oxymoron, and anyone who characterizes science as “settled” or “indisputable” is ignorant not only of science, but also history and philosophy.Aristotle, who lived and wrote in the fourth century B.C., was one of the greatest geniuses the world has ever known. He invented the discipline of logic, and founded the sciences of ecology and biology. Aristotle’s physics were accepted as correct for nearly two thousand years. In 1534, faculty at the University of Paris officially asserted that the works of Aristotle were “the standard and basis of all philosophic enquiry.” Aristotle taught that heavy objects fall faster than light ones. Over the centuries, a few unreasonable persons expressed skeptical concerns. But the consensus was that the physics of motion were described by Aristotle’s dicta. The science was settled.

Bill” title=”http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_021309/content/01125109.guest.html\”>Bill” class=”autohyperlink” target=”_blank”>www.rushlimbaugh.com… Clinton:

“We either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side, because essentially there’s always been a lot of big money to support the right-wing talk shows, and let’s face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining, even when he’s saying things that I think are ridiculous. I never minded having somebody be heard who disagreed with me. But if you only have one side like this blatant drumbeat against the stimulus program, this doesn’t reflect the economic reality we’re facing.”

Folks, anyone can see what a sham this is, and utterly laughable to boot. Look at ALL the MSM, with the exception of Fox Network who dropped their pants and spread ‘em months ago. Obama can do not wrong, there is not a Hint of criticism from the MSM on the ‘super spending’ bill to reward the Democratic faithful. The House bill just passed with not one single Republican voting in favor, yet, one would think from the MSM that the House passed a ‘hard fought’ bill when the end result was already ordained. The only question was which Democrats would not vote for it. The Senate the voted for their version and as predicted, the RINO’s; Specter, Collins, and Snowe voted for it.

“It is over a thousand pages,” said Representative Tom Price, a Georgia Republican. “It is physically impossible for any member to have read this bill.” Of course, it is! That’s the idea! It will be interesting to see those goodies as they come out, especially national health care ramifications. If you can’t persuade the public, put it in a ‘bill.’

Now, back to this ‘Fairness doctrine’, the whole point is to give the opposition free air time to air their ‘progressiveness’. Do you imagine Keith Olberman having a conservative on his program and giving him equal time? Nah, the television networks are exempt, it’s only for ‘talk radio’, which the conservatives control as a balance to the totally liberal MSM. How better to quite the conservative voice than to force equal time for those leftist pundits who cannot keep a radio program running on their own merit because viewers refuse to patronize it. “If you can’t beat ‘em, change the rules.”

excerpts:

Okay, Bill Clinton has said we gotta have enforced media accountability. “All the big money has gone to support right-wing talk shows.” Mr. President, if I may, all the big money is not in talk radio. It’s all your Library and Massage Parlor. What I wouldn’t give for the amount of money that’s been donated to Bill Clinton and his Library and Massage Parlor! That’s where the big money is in this country. Now, how unhappy can these Democrats be? They’ve got 60 votes in the Senate. They own the House of Representatives. They occupy the White House. They control the media. Just what do they want? Karl Marx said it. You know what “peace” is in Karl Marx’s definition? The absence of opposition to socialism. That is peace. The absence of opposition to a leftist, to a socialist, and that’s what they’re aiming for this is a major transformation of the United States, as Obama promised. Let’s not forget Clinton in 1994, June. He was flying in to dedicate some train station in St. Louis, and he called the morning show in our blowtorch affiliate there, KMOX.

~~~

We didn’t bring in people to our studios for coffee and shake ‘em down, promising not to criticize them on the radio if they will just pay us off. We don’t bring in interns here and start using cigars in nefarious ways. We don’t have massage parties here in our broadcast studios. Well, I can’t speak for some of the long-haired, maggot-infested FM types and what they’re doing in their studios. (laughing) But I haven’t had one visit from a ChiCom advertiser. I haven’t had a guy that owns a Chinese restaurant in Little Rock walk in to some office with $200 million in unsigned money orders for me for big money. I haven’t people from Dubai, from the United Arab Emirates, from Saudi Arabia pay me 150 to $400,000 for a speech ripping my own country while I’m in theirs! I don’t do things like this, Mr. President. My money, our money comes (just as government’s does) from the American people — and our money is puny compared to yours. Clinton Global Initiative? We don’t have anything like that. What big money, Mr. President?

It’s high time that taxpayers understand that when we get what little information that can be squeezed from the MSM regarding the insanity currently under way in Washington that what they don’t get is the far, far worse scenario happening in the unreported, unpublicized, background.

Taxpayers Risk $9.7 Trillion on Bailouts as Senate Votes

The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.

The Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have lent or spent almost $3 trillion over the past two years and pledged to provide up to $5.7 trillion more if needed. The total already tapped has decreased about 1 percent since November, mostly because foreign central banks are using fewer dollars in currency-exchange agreements called swaps. The Senate is to vote early this week on a stimulus package totaling at least $780 billion that President Barack Obama says is needed to avert a deeper recession. That measure would need to be reconciled with an $819 billion plan the House approved last month.

Only the stimulus package to be approved this week, the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program passed four months ago and $168 billion in tax cuts and rebates approved in 2008 have been voted on by lawmakers. The remaining $8 trillion in commitments are lending programs and guarantees, almost all under the authority of the Fed and the FDIC. The recipients’ names have not been disclosed.

Been a while since I have posted here. Been a busy year so far, but another reason I have not posted is that, unlike the truly dedicated conservatives here, I find myself demoralized by the continuing events in which the country has given the Democrats free ‘reign’ to do as they please. It appears that is exactly what is happening on the grandest scale seen to man. We have a spending bill, er, ‘stimulus’ bill approaching 1 trillion dollars of which it has been explained by conservatives that about 25% would qualify as a ‘stimulus’, and the approximately 75% remaining is simply pork garbage on a surreal scale not even the most jaded politicians could ever hope to bite into. The ‘newspeak’ of Obama is already well on its way.

With such figures of colossal magnitude will someone please tell me just How that figure was arrived at? Do any of these cretins in Washington have any real understanding of what even one billion dollars entails? We were told that we would have to absolutely scrape to pay for the war in Iraq, now the politicians are putting out a spending bill in excess of Both the war in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. No, none of these ‘representatives’ or ‘senators’ has any grasp, the 1 trillion is simply a ‘figure’ that once approved gives those presently in power carte blanche to hold onto that power as tightly as possible in the succeeding years.

Where is this money going to come from? We have the specter of social security and medicare/medicade ready to hit the skids in a few years creating a further ‘crisis’ that is apparently going to blindside this country as did the present banking and economic crisis. That is to say, if another crisis doesn’t hit us first. ‘Blindsiding’ of the present crisis is probably the wrong term to use as I suspect that there were plenty in the Democratic party who knew exactly when this would happen and pulled the strings to make it so. This was the nail in the coffin of the McCain campaign. Read the rest of this entry »

Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama’s pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for “global governance” and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change. By Thursday, Mrs. Browner’s name and biography had been removed from Socialist International’s Web page, though a photo of her speaking June 30 to the group’s congress in Greece was still available. Socialist International (motto: Progressive Politics For a Fairer World – DZ, an umbrella group for many of the world’s social democratic political parties such as Britain’s Labor Party, says it supports socialism and is harshly critical of U.S. policies.

I may be getting a incorrect picture from posts and comments the blogosphere, but it seems that a lot of people are already getting buyers remorse on Obama before he’s even sworn in. Just wait until he and Mrs “Whitey” are dining in the White House. Fortunately, the right never did any ‘buying’ thus the left are the ones with the remorse, though it’s basically because Obama has left the bridesmaid out in the cold. Read the rest of this entry »

I would really like to know from people on this blog what they feel about the bailout of the auto companies. I, for one, am totally against it. Let ‘em file bankruptcy and go into reorganization as everyone else who can’t compete has to do. Hey, Michael, those labor unions, their wages and retirement are one of the reasons the automakers are where they are today in the marketplace. The Japanese make better autos, period. If they can cut $20 an hour off these ‘working wages’ those wages obviously are way to high. $50/hour for doing a spot weld? Sheesh! Why didn’t I move to Michigan back when I was a young guy. $30 an hour is the best I’m doing except when doing architectural and then it’s $80, but that’s still under the market.

Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead …a message from Michael Moore

Friends,

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers start building only cars and mass transit that reduce our dependency on oil.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers build cars that reduce global warming.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers withdraw their many lawsuits against state governments in their attempts to not comply with our environmental laws.

They could have given the loan on the condition that the management team which drove these once-great manufacturers into the ground resign and be replaced with a team who understands the transportation needs of the 21st century. Read the rest of this entry »

Santa Claus Is In Town! [Reader Post]

Posted by: Steve @ 7:10 am in Economy, taxes

Obviously for some, although Christmas and the goodies are a couple of weeks away, the goodies are already flowing out of the Federal Reserve and a turn around and tell the taxpayer to be damned. This thought this money belongs to the taxpayers but “Notwithstanding calls for enhanced transparency, the Board must protect against the substantial, multiple harms that might result from disclosure,” what the hell? $2 Trillion and we can’t be told to whom it was, is being, given to? It appears the goodies are being doled out while attention is elsewhere: low gas, Blago, etc etc, but Bloomberg is apparently on the hunt…..

Excerpt:

The Federal Reserve refused a request by Bloomberg News to disclose the recipients of more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers and the assets the central bank is accepting as collateral.

Bloomberg filed suit Nov. 7 under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act requesting details about the terms of 11 Fed lending programs, most created during the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The Fed responded Dec. 8, saying it’s allowed to withhold internal memos as well as information about trade secrets and commercial information. The institution confirmed that a records search found 231 pages of documents pertaining to some of the requests. Read the rest of this entry »

Pleading the Fifth [Reader Post]

Posted by: Steve @ 11:02 am in Barack Obama

The 5th amendment to the US Constitution (excerpt): “…nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself”…  gives citizens the right against “self incrimination”. Is it any wonder that witnesses before the Senate judiciary either lie or ‘take the fifth’ to get off the hot seat and back to business as usual?  Notice, however, it reads: “in any criminal case”,  thus it clearly states that “When a citizen is accused and indicted in a criminal case, they shall not be compelled to testify against themselves if they feel that in doing so they will negatively impact their case.” Lawyers, of course, have muddied the waters regarding the issue, which now means “any proceeding”, on the assumption that testimony given in a neutral proceeding may be used to incriminate the person testifying in a subsequent proceeding. Be that as it may, this is simply legal shenanigans for the betterment of lawyers and increase their already inflated “billable hours” to the greatest extent possible.
 
What we sometimes fail to note, however, is that government can plead the 5th when it allows unanswered questions to run rampant as it did in 9/11. Likewise, Barrak Hussein Obama is pleading the 5th by simply refusing to allow confirmation that he is legally born in the United States of America. His lawyers are doing all the talking, but essentially Obams is pulling the strings. The copy does say at the bottom that: “This copy serves as prima face evidence in any court proceeding”, and  thus is the basis for the Obama factions to say this is a done deal.  Most of us would see a birth certificate (although this matter actually contains other questions) as a relatively simple means of identification and it is universally accepted in the United States as such. The certificate, however, is simply a certificate of ‘live birth’ and states that Obama was born live, sic. Read the rest of this entry »

(Some excerpts from the Chicago Tribune)The U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship, a continuation of a New Jersey case embraced by some opponents of Obama’s election.

The suit originally sought to stay the election, and was filed on behalf of Leo Donofrio against New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells, however, this is simply one of the myriad of suits currently attesting that Obama either isn’t born a U.S. citizen or that he later renounced his citizenship in Indonesia.

The Obama campaign has maintained that he was born in Hawaii, has an authentic birth certificate, and is a “natural-born” U.S. citizen. Hawaiian officials agree. The Director of the Department of Health of Hawaii has issued an Official Statement saying that she has verified that Obama has a birth certificate on file in accordance with Hawaiian law, however, it was NOT stated that Obama was born in Hawaii. Hawaiian law states that if a foreign born child is adopted in Hawaii (Obama was by his stepfather) then an amended Hawaiian birth certificate can be issued! The Certification of Live Birth from Hawaii that the Obama campaign posted on the Internet isn’t considered by critics to resolve the issue, since during the 1960s when Obama was born, the new state issued the document to infants not necessarily born in Hawaii.

A fact of the matter, whether relevant or not is: Under U.S. law, since 1790, the child of any woman who is a U.S. citizen is a “natural born” citizen, regardless of where they are born…and that is why the Republican Party was able to nominate Panamanian born John McCain, however, the flip side of that is: the transferred citizenship of those born “abroad” like McCain has an age requirement of 19. Hussein Obama’s mother was under 19 so, he IF (and I truly hope he wasn’t so we avoid a huge constitutional crisis) was born in Kenya and the birth certificate on file in Hawaii is the original and is valid but is NOT from Hawaii he is not a naturalized citizen according to the Constitution.

The Phillip Berg suit of which people are generally familiar was thrown out brought up some interesting facts about Obama: Obama has not released any of his medical records. Mr. Berg believes that the reason is is because you will find Obama’s birth place on his medical records. Obama has not released his college records. Mr. Berg believes you will find that Obama received foreign aid listed on his college records. Mr. Berg wanted Obama to do just one simple thing – produce a copy of his original birth certificate. Obama for some reason just won’t produce it. Strange, huh?

Hopefully the US Supreme Court will hear this. At least get it to a conclusion.

It is ironical that the white horse signified in the Revelation and characterized in the 13th chapter is white, as most evangelicals would never have dreamed that a black man would be elevated to the position where he could actually evolve into the Antichrist. The fact is, evangelists have for years now preached on how we are in the end times prophesied in the Bible and that the world is heading to dire and more dire judgments as those set forth in Revelation. Now, now, now, this is Not today’s sermon, just a few (since they are not politically correct) personal ramblings from a guy who has been one of those evil fundamentalists all his life and knows a little about Bible prophesy.

It is certain that all sorts of stories are popping up on the web about the evil Omaba represented during his campaign and the cult personality that has evolved into the fawning hundreds of thousands in the streets on election night to celebrate his victory. The MSM are having some doubts now that they have elected Obama, but just wait until he is finished with them. Kudos to Mikes America who has been relentless in his denunciations as to why the questions being asked now by the MSM were not asked Before the election. It’s really absurd isn’t it, but the MSM are now beginning to admit that with all the vetting (ha, ha) they had done on Obama, they still don’t have a clue as to who he is! Incredible? Not! There was no vetting done. It was like the MSM, like the Obama cult, were the victims of mass hysteria and could no more put out a criticism of Obama than they could apply towards themselves.

One thing I believe that everyone can agree upon is that human beings cannot look towards the future and foretell what the world will be like a year from now, and so forth. We can look at tomorrow and based upon current events divine with some accuracy what will happen tomorrow, and maybe even next week, but beyond that it’s a toss-up. We can, however, look back and see what has happened, see the indicators of what has happened today and lament that we were just too blind to see the warnings and too lazy to take action because we didn’t really believe what we were seeing.

America has spoken. The Annointed One has been crowned. Old Karl is gleefully spinning in his grave.

While many conservative pundits are already looking forward to 2012, that is likely to be a useless exercise, as unless the world stops spinning on its axis, Barack Obama will be sitting in the Oval Office until 2016. We will simply have to sit back and observe as the Democrats have their way with American legislative procedures, getting their pet initiatives from the Marxist left rammed through the Congress. Oh, I am hearing sighs of relief that the Congress is not filibuster proof, but someone please edify me as to when was the last time any Republican had the backbone to filibuster an issue that the liberal Democratic leaders in Congress wanted to expedite? Filibuster proof? Fat chance.

I am also hearing sighs of relief from the left side of the Supreme Court. Look for a liberal exodus as soon as the One is on the throne.

While, of course, we should congratulate Senator Obama, the Commander-In-Chief-elect, we should not forget the issues, especially character issues that the campaign brought to light. They have not suddenly disappeared. The fact of the matter is that we still do not know who this man is, not a clue. We know who he says he is, and we know that he is the most liberal Senator in the Untied States Congress, but who is he really? I watched his victory speech and not one time did he ever look into the cameras, too busy looking at the right and left teleprompters, mouthing airy words and platitudes exactly as he has done for the past 21 months. Well, the time is rapidly approaching to put up or shut up. Read the rest of this entry »

So what if The One should actually lose next week? The brainwashed hysteria whipped up on his behalf is, to put it mildly, dangerous. The media proclaims daily that Obama has already won. He cannot lose. He is the Saviour of the Planet. McCain is a mumbling senile idiot. Palin is evil incarnate. The polls show an Obama landslide. So if the world should revolve backwards on its axis next Tuesday and people wake up and find he has lost, then either the election will have been stolen in the way we all know evil Republicans always steal elections – or the American public will be proved to be, as we all know they are, irredeemably racist. Accordingly, we are warned that there would then be riots on the streets.

You have to pinch yourself….a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus compromising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States of America and apparently it is racist and impolite of us to call him on it……..

It has been surreal, even with the election beginning at the next sunrise, more is coming out regards Obama that simply has been suppressed or ignored by the mainstream media. Promises to bankrupt the coal industry if he is elected, other s that we have known for some time but apparently of no import to anyone who plan to vote Democrat: association with Black Separatists, adoration of political mentor/Sprirtual Adviser, Racist Jeremiah Wright, Jr. (Obama’s Pastor), affiliation with Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam leader, denial of his family background and deep Muslim roots, kinship with Jesse Jackson, failed presidential bids twice, deception – pretending not to support the war but voting to fund the war. I could go on and on, but what does it matter? Read the rest of this entry »
