Looks like the warmers are running scared. Now in one of the many attempts to diffuse the climategate scandal in which a number of emails and documents showing manipulation of data, exclusion of unfavorable data, and the systematic suppression of opposing research, the warmers are reaching deep into the excuse barrel and dredging up a bogey man upon which to focus attention. The warmers are now claiming that a spy agency of some dark and mysterious foreign nation is responsible. The reason – to destabilize the Copenhagen summit. Come now boys and girls, put the tin-foil hats away and face facts. What the warmers don’t want to address is the fact that data was manipulated and destroyed, temperature measurement stations were compromised, legitimate research was suppressed when it wasn’t favorable to the political agenda, scientific research standards were ignored, and the peer review process was nothing more than a bunch of chicken little bureaucrats quoting conjecture and obscure anecdotal comments from non-scientists.
The warmers want to claim that one bad scientist doesn’t spoil the whole bunch and to some degree they are right. But, it certainly does call for a complete investigation and reanalysis of the situation before we charge headlong into a destructive global agreement to ruin our economy and way of life. Where there’s smoke there’s also fire and in this case the outcome is so serious that it demands consideration of the facts. We can’t allow chicken little to rule the day when evidence from the past decade indicates that anthropogenic global warming is simply not happening and that any warming we have seen was a natural cyclic occurrence. If the chicken little / warmers expect to control the weather perhaps they are more delusional than we think.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will actually cheer not only the expansion of government, but the seizure of income, and the mindless tax the rich scams. Oregonians are doing just that with their ballot initiatives 66 and 67 to tax heavily any individual making over $125,000 and businesses a minimum of $30,000 per year. The tax measures were passed in the legislature late last year and so heavily opposed that a referendum was called for yesterday in an attempt to overturn these excessive tax measures. Sadly, both measures were upheld in the vote yesterday.
In an economic recession when not only government revenues are down but individual income is diminished, we have individuals who follow the self-destructive French Revolution tactic of attacking the rich. Just as in the French Revolution, the gallows become hungry when the so-called rich become short in supply.
I suppose I shouldn’t be too hard on the Oregonians because just as the people here in North Carolina, they heard the siren song or “for the children” and the even more alluring call of “for the schools.” These two hypnotizing melodies seem to make even the most logical and fiscally responsible individual blather nonsensically about pie in the sky pipe dreams and pull out their wallet to give up even more of their hard earned income.
The sad part of the entire Oregon pyramid scheme is that ultimately the cost will be borne by the population at large through price increases, the loss of jobs, and a decline in the general economy. Why do Americans have such backward thinking when it comes to government and taxes. Perhaps we should look to the example of some other nations who reduced their taxes during this recession.
Taking more money out of the general economy and giving it to politicians has never made things better.

Senator “Don’t Call me Ma’am” Boxer or should that be Senator “I’m heavily invested in businesses that stands to gain from any Cap and Trade legislation” Boxer. Either way, the Senator has once again shown her hideous and corrupt underside by trying to shoot the messenger and ignoring the urgent message. Yes, the stealing of email is criminal and I won’t try to justify that act; however, the more criminal acts are the deceptions taking place about global warming… er… climate change. Boxer, Obama, and a host of others refuse to look at the obvious tampering and manipulation of data to support anthropogenic global warming. When researchers throw away raw data and claim the manipulated or “value added” data is sufficient to prove their research, we have a serious breach in scientific method that any freshman chemistry student knows. Boxer is a danger to the American people and needs to be ejected from office at the earliest possible time. Maybe she’ll be reelected, maybe she won’t. One thing is for sure: the global warming scam is quickly unraveling. Based on my unadjusted opinion, Al “manbearpig” Gore and all his mindless dupes won’t be able to pull it back together again.
Like so many past journalists who have walked the thin line between criminality and reporting, perhaps we owe a little thanks to the hackers who revealed this information. Ultimately, I do think they should be tried and if convicted sentenced to five years of searching for more fraudulent hoaxers and criminal politicians. That would be a real community service!

On Saturday November 14, 2009, a small group of dedicated Americans turned out to brave the weather and listen to several speakers at the second of two Tea Parties held by the Roanoke Valley Patriots. The Roanoke Valley Patriots didn’t call on neo-conservative ex-bureaucrats or failed politicians to woo disillusioned Republicans back into the fold of a failed party; they called on dedicated Americans to speak from the heart, to motivate true patriots to act and think as individuals on a grass roots level, and to send a strong message to Washington. An enthusiastic crowd of around 100 gathered at Collier Harley Davidson in Roanoke Rapids North Carolina to send the message that we’re tired of government expansion and endless hikes in taxes.
Mr. Obama may call them names but history will count them as the dedicated few who chose to stand up and be counted. While the long established elite and the leftist liberals may be well entrenched in their propaganda and money collecting machine, the patriotic Tea Party movement has decentralization on their side. There are no national organizations orchestrating this movement, no charismatic politicians leading this movement, and no main target to be attacked, infiltrated, and coerced away from the mission. This is and needs to remain a movement of average, ordinary, and independent citizens with the common bond of liberty.
There were no Republicans in the crowd, no Democrats, no anarchists, or extremists, and no anti-government radicals. No, this was a crowd made up of Americans; proud of their nation, their heritage, and their liberty. This was a crowd of Americans who understand that it’s never the masses who accomplish change. Throughout history the masses have always been manipulated under tyranny. It has always been the dedicated few who made the difference. There may not have been national media coverage but the message goes out, being amplified by every small town rally until the roar can’t be ignored by Washington. That roar will be heard loud and clear in the upcoming elections. This is for the long haul. While some weak in spirit may fall by the wayside, the dedicated few will persevere. Our nation did not get into the shape it’s in overnight and it will not be changed overnight. We must brace for the long and tiring effort, and this is only the beginning.
Our gratitude goes out to Pat Croisetiere, Collier Harley Davidson, and the others who helped in organizing this rally and all those who spoke from the heart. And our special appreciation goes out to all those who stood the cold, damp winds to listen, to think, and to be part of history.

While President Obama may stoop to name calling when he called it the teabag movement of anti-government extremists (maybe he has some kinky fascination…), we know that the Tea Party movement is about mainstream Americans fed up with excessive and out of control government. The movement is not anti-government as Mr. Obama says it is, but is anti-stupidity and complacence. We as a nation can not afford more government and yet 220 congressmen voted to rip over a $trillion$ dollars from our hands so that they can, as some say, be part of history. Next election many of them will be history!

Date: Saturday 14 November 2009

NC Senator Kay Hagan is a typical waffling bureaucrat weighing whether supporting this disastrous government take over of health care will cost her the seat.
It is quickly coming down to the debate over inane provisions and whether the Democrats or the Republicans have the better way. The bottom line is that neither party has the better plan. Both the Democrat and the Republican scams are bad news for us as individuals. Both plans will result in a broader provision of decreasing quality health care.
Whether you support the Constitutional position or not, you have to admit that government must have some boundaries or else it will simply morph into a totalitarian oppressor with great assumed and destructive powers. We have seen where unchecked monetary policy, foreign policy, and domestic security policies are slowly eroding our individual liberties in the name of government control and central planning.
We must put pressure on Senator Hagan to vote against this convoluted ill-conceived plan to allow bureaucrats to determine your health options while demanding tribute from each for the privilege of having it forced down our throats.

With all the focus on potential domestic terrorists, with all the surveillance, phone-taps, browser snooping, and with all the tax dollars spent on creating and maintaining a Department of Homeland Security and Security Czar, one simply must ask: how can this happen? Apparently the CIA failed to get the memo about Homeland Security coordinating between all existing agencies to prevent acts of terrorism or is it that I just didn’t understand part of legislation (or propaganda briefs) used to sell DHS and the lies about being the main player in coordinating information and action between the alphabet soup of agencies. The CIA says they had fore knowledge of a dedicated Muslim seeking to contact al Qaeda. Not just an ordinary Muslim but a Major in the U.S. Army. So, just because some idiot wanna-be spook refuses to report the fact that a U.S. Army Major is seeking to communicate with an enemy, a psycho-muslim is allowed to kill and wound numerous Americans, not just on American soil but on an Army post on top of that.
These moron islamo-terrorist need to be stopped at first knowledge rather than waiting for additional information or leads. No domestic terrorist = no terrorist act. It’s not rocket science. If you eliminate the extremists like Hasan there is no sleeper that can help organize terrorism.
All this kinda makes one wonder just how much fore-knowledge existed prior to 9-11???
The apologists are worried that there may be a backlash against Muslim soldiers; just wait for the persecution of gun owners by the leftists liberals in Washington and elsewhere.

It appears that the tinfoil hat award needs to be handed out to all the Obama supporters and the Chicago Tribune who see the re-make of V as being directed at Obama. This is the remake of a 1980s mini series. Seems that paranoia runs deep when you support those doing wrong.
The plot of V is nothing new. Throughout history there have always been those who seek total control. The technology of implementation may change but the intent is always the sama – total control by a small group of elite freaks.

Michingan Mom told she can’t have neighborhood kids wait for the school bus at her house without a license from the state.
The bureaucrat that sent the warning letter to her should be fired. The law should be reviewed and the drafters of the original legislation should be tarred and feathered! O.K. maybe that’s a little harsh.
At the very least, a review of such policies needs to be completed and the bureaucracies need to be restrained in such cases of utter nonsense.
There are supposed to be directors, managers, case workers, and review mechanisms in place that can oversee and step in when the idiot proofing fails. This is a common problem in bureaucracies where a rigid adherence to the written rule supplants all possibility of the use of practical sense.
Have organizations where practical sense and critical thinking are valued become extinct?
Situations like this certainly make one wonder!

This is the same old rhetoric that we hear every time the Fed prints too much money. The loose monetary policies that have existed for some time have already laid the ground work for rampant price inflation. This has everything to do with a private bank given the authority to create money out of thin air. Doing so is the actual inflation. The price inflation of which they speak is simply the market response to dollars that have had their value reduced by the printing of more unbacked dollars.
Throw in the move on the global level to reject U.S. greenbacks as the standard reserve currency and you have the makings of a major monetary meltdown here in the United States.
This boom and bust cycle that is continually repeated is the very thing the Fed was supposedly set up to prevent. As we all know, the creation of the Fed had nothing to do with stabilizing the economy and every to do with power and control by the international banking elite. G. Edward Griffin’s book The Creature From Jykell Island is an excellent and well researched historical recount of the establishment of the Fed and the true purposes.
