March 4: Rally for Education

March 4, 2010.
Rally for Education
IT IS UP TO US !


JOIN THE SACRAMENTO RALLY FOR CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE! 11Am. North Steps. State Capitol.

Students and Faculty, will march to demand a decent budget for California’s schools and universities. Protests will occur around the state, at universities and work sites at the Capitol in Sacramento. Please join us.

The campaign for majority rule has a new web site.

http://www.ca4democracy.com/ Help us with signature gathering.


In the last two years California’s k-12 schools have received over a $16 Billion cut back. California presently ranks 45th of the states in per pupil spending and last among the states in class size. Now, the Governor proposes to reduce k-12 spending by another $2.4 Billion. The U.C’s and the CSU campuses have suffered over a $2 billion cut while tuition and fees were increased over 30%. Classes have been cut, graduation delayed, and faculty dismissed. They must not be cut more. We must work together to save public education.

Canada's Good Ol' Girls: For Shame!

All that stress relieved. Amazing. The win for Canada's women's ice hockey team at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics was a huge stress reliever for the girls. And don't you just know it, girls will be girls. Thinking little of the fall-out of their not recognizing the decorum anticipated by onlookers like stiff-shirted Olympic Games types. Instead of going out in style what did the women's hockey team do? They brought everlasting shame to the games and to Canada.



They might have gone into their locker rooms, changed from their Team Canada hockey uniforms into chaste little dresses and nice little winter boots, shrugged on their Hudson Bay winter coats and gone out, arm in arm, to one of the very classy and extremely classic tea bars in the area nicely behaving the way women are expected to comport themselves. What might have come over them? How could they possibly have lost their sense of who they are and whom they represent?



How could they do this to us! Still wearing their game-winning gold medals and their red-and-white team outfits they chose to embarrass themselves, Team Canada and the country. By gasp! behaving like, uh, men. Beer cans in hand, cigars dangling for their feminine lips these beautiful athletes who just demonstrated they are the world's best at their chosen sport, emulated what men always do.



In their celebratory mood, anticipating some fun to go along with the games they posed and kidded one another, and went back onto the ice in the post-game, fan-empty arena to pose for a few impromptu photos each would snap of the other. Well, they hadn't, obviously, counted on prudish Gilbert Felli, executive director of the Olympic Games, had they? And he most certainly hadn't anticipated the scandal that their behaviour would represent.



"It is not what we want to see. I don't think it's a good promotion of sport values. If they celebrate in the changing room, that's one thing, but not in public. We will investigate." Just investigate? How much should the girls grovel and apologize and promise they will never, ever be so injudicious in their youthful cheeriness at winning the impossible, never again?



How cretinous is that behaviour, that of the OIC official whose natural, sparkling sense of humour must make him a pleasure to live with, let alone to work with. But Hockey Canada is taking this very seriously indeed. Mea Culpa; we did not remember to leash our women's hockey team members sufficiently expeditiously to ensure such an insult to decorum would not occur.



"The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone", went the humble message from the team. Humble? Not likely, it has that 'up yours' little addendum lisping its saucy comeback at the wet blanket that meant to squelch their little ol' party.



Now, isn't that perfectly disgusting.

ISLAMIC MILITANTS KILL 11 JEWS IN ... THE PHILIPPINES!?

OH SORRY. NOT JEWS, BUT 11 FILIPINOS - CHRISTIANS... NON-MUSLIMS.

PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT WW4 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM OR THE GOP OR BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTONGITMO.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF ISLAMIC MILITANCY - OR JIHADISM, OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO CALL IT - IS ISLAM.

ISLAM IS THE ROOT CAUSE.

THE JIHADISTS ARE NOT THE APOSTATES; THE ISLAMIC MILITANTS ARE THE ORTHODOX.

THEY ARE MERELY CARRYING OUT WHAT THE KORAN AND HADITHS AND THE SURA TELL THEM TO DO.

ISLAM IS NO MORE A RELIGION OF PEACE THAN BUDDHISM A RELIGION OF GLUTTONY.

IT MATTERS NOT IF THEY ARE ABU SAYYAF OR MOROCCAN OR ALGERIAN OR MALAY/THAI OR AFGHANI OR PAKI OR TURK OR IRANIAN OR EGYPTIAN OR AL QAEDA OR MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OR CAIR.

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.
TRUE ISLAM IS THE ENEMY OF EVERYTHING IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION, AND IT'S US OR THEM.

THE SOONER WE ALL ACCEPT THIS THE BETTER.

IRAN WILL GET A NUKE SOON - IF WE DON'T ATTACK THEM FIRST.

PAKISTAN'S NUKES OR NOKO'S NUKES WILL PROBABLY END UP IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS SOONER OR LATER.

UNLESS WE DESTROY THEM FIRST.

THE CHOICE IS OURS.

HOW LONG BEFORE SOME LEFT-WING OBAMA-MANIAC TRIES TO KILL GLENN BECK?

MEMEORADUM:
David Neiwert / Crooks and Liars:
Glenn Beck's eliminationist attacks on progressives: How long before someone acts on this violent rhetoric? — David Sirota observes in his column this week the really ugly nature of Glenn Beck's express hatred of progressives, embodied in his CPAC speech:
I BET YOU SOMEONE "INSPIRED" BY VAN JONES TAKES A CRACK AT BECK BEFORE ANY "TEABAGGER" TAKES A CRACK AT ANY LEADING LEFTIST.

(UPDATE: I WRITE THIS HAVING SEEN VAN JONES SAY, AT THE NAACP, THAT HE LOVED BECK. HE SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES. TO ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A KISS FROM DON CORLEONE, A KISS OF DEATH.)

I FEAR FOR BECK'S LIFE MUCH MORE THAN THAT OF ANY LEADING LEFTIST.

THE LEFT IS FAR MORE DERANGED THAN THE RIGHT - (ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE LEFT'S SAVIOUR - OBAMA - HAS BEEN EXPOSED AS AN INCOMPETENT, AND THEY LOOK TO BE HEADED FOR A FIASCO IN NOVEMBER).

UPDATE #2: LEFIESTS ARE NUTTIER THAN RIGHT-WINGER AND MORE VIOLENT: THE ANTHRAX KILLER WAS A LEFTIST OBAMA SUPPORTER. LEE HARVEY OSWALD WAS A LEFIST TOO. SO WAS CHARLES MANSON.

IS FRANK RICH INSANE? YES!

YES, FRANK RICH IS INSANE, AND THIS COLUMN PROVES IT.

HE WROTE TODAY THAT HE THINKS THE BIGGEST STORY IS THAT NUT WHO FLEW HIS PLANE INTO AN IRS BUILDING.

OF COURSE - DESPITE THE FACT THE THE PILOT WAS A LEFTIST - RICH BLAMES IT ON THE TEA PARTY -WHICH HE TIES TO MCVEIGH AND THE OK CITY BOMBING.

SO, ER... UM...IN RICH'S MIND ANYONE WITH ANY GRIEVANCE AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS CONNECTED TO THE "TEABAGGING" BECK-VEIWING OBSESSED AND DERANGED RIGHT.

THIS IS NUTS. LAUGHABLE. INSANE. IRRATIONAL. WRONG.
  • I'M A FORMER LEFTIE WHO'S NOW A CONSERVATIVE STILL A REGISTERED EM (HAVE BEEN SINCE 1974 - AS A NYC'ER IT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN INFLUENCE ELECTIONS - VIA PRIMARIES).
  • FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS I HAVE INCREASINGLY COME TO BELIEVE IN LIMITED GOVERNMENT.
  • I KNOW THAT'S WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS INTENDED.
  • I KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT DRIVES THE TEA PARTY AND WHY IT HAS GROWN SO MUCH SO FAST.
  • IT AIN'T CUZ ALL THE "TEABAGGERS" ARE DERANGED.
  • IF THE "TEABAGGERS" ARE DERANGED THEN SO WERE THE FOUNDING FATHERS!
  • WE SUPPORTED BROWN OVER COAKLEY DESPITE HIS MANY LIBERAL POSITIONS; THIS PROVES WE ARE NOT RADICALS, LET ALONE DERANGED AND OBSESSED.
THE REAL DERANGED FOLKS ARE THE LEFTIES LIKE RICH.

FOLKS WHO DEEP DOWN BELIEVE WE'D BE BETTER OFF IF WE'D LOST THE REVOLUTION AND BECOME JUST LIKE CANADA, (SOMETHING CARTER ADMITTED!).

RICH AND HIS COMRADES OPPOSE THE BASIC TENETS OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.

BUT NOT FOR LONG.

THE NYTIMES IS ON THE WAY OUT - JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE LEFT-WIN DOMINATED MSM AND THE LEFT-WING DOMINATED DEMOCRAT MAJORITY IN CONGRESS!

BTW: WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE LEFT THAT THEIR FAVORITE LEFT-WING ANALYST/COMMENTATORS ARE A COMEDIAN - STEWART, A THEATER CRITIC - RICH, AND A WASHED UP ECONOMIST - KRUGMAN!?

IT SAYS THEY ARE INTELLECTUALLY KAPUT.

BOTTOM-LINE: SOCIALISM SUCKS, AND SOCIALISTS ARE IN DENIAL.

GUESS WHAT!? MEMEORANDUM HAS A COMPLETE ROUND UP!

LABOUR MINISTER: "THE LABOUR PARTY HAS BEEN INFILTRATED BY ISLAMISTS"



ENVIRONMENT MINISTER:
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Jim Fitzpatrick, the Environment Minister, said the IFE had become, in effect, a secret party within Labour and other political parties.

“They are acting almost as an entryist organisation, placing people within the political parties, recruiting members to those political parties, trying to get individuals selected and elected so they can exercise political influence and power, whether it’s at local government level or national level,” he said.

“They are completely at odds with Labour’s programme, with our support for secularism.”

Mr Fitzpatrick, the MP for Poplar and Canning Town, said the IFE had infiltrated and “corrupted” his party in east London in the same way that the far-Left Militant Tendency did in the 1980s. Leaked Labour lists show a 110 per cent rise in party membership in one constituency in two years.

THE ISLAMISTS PLAN TO TAKE OVER EUROPE WITHOUT A SHOT, WITHOUT THE SWORD.

THEY AIM TO TAKE IT OVER JUST BY DEMOGRAPHY, JUST BY TAKING OVER THE MAJOR SOCIALIST PARTIES WITHIN EACH COUNTRY OF EUROPE.

AND THEN BY TAKING OVER WHAT REMAINS OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND BY PULLING THE STRINGS OF THE EUSSR'S GOVERNING COMMISSION.

THIS IS NOW INEVITABLE IN BRITAIN - UNLESS THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY BECOMES ANTI-ISLAMIST, AND - FAILING THAT: IF PARTIES LIKE THE UKIP AND BNP CAN DISPLACE THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES.

FARAGE, WILDERS ARE EUROPE'S LAST BEST HOPE. THE NEXT TWO YEARS WILL BE CRITICAL.

I FEEL THAT 2012 IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN.

BEYOND THAT POINT, MORE AND MORE PRO-WEST WESTERNERS IN EUROPE WILL BEGIN TO LEAVE EN MASSE - JUST AS JEWS ARE ABANDONING SWEDEN.

THEY ARE GOING TO ABANDON EUROPE AND LEAVE IT TO THE LEFTIST-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE.

ONLY THE HARDCORE BNP/VB TYPES WILL REMAIN TO LITERALLY FIGHT IT OUT ON THE STREETS.

IT WILL BE BLOODY.

IT WILL BE SORT OF LIKE "RED DAWN", ONLY IT'S RED/GREEN DAWN AS THEY WILL BE FIGHTING THE SOCIALIST-ISLAMIST ALLIANCE.

IT NEEDN'T COME TO THIS.

IF EUROPEANS DUMP THE LEFT AND ABANDON APPEASEMENT AND TAKE STRONG ACTION NOW, THEY CAN SAVE EUROPE WITHOUT BLOODSHED.

HOW WELL FARAGE AND WILDERS DO IN THE NEXT ELECTION WILL TELL US IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.

IF THEY LOSE, THEN EUROPE IS HEADED TO THE SAME PLACE BYZANTIUM WENT...

OBLIVION... DESERVEDLY SO.

OF COURSE: MEMEORANDUM HAS A COMPLETE ROUND UP

ISLAMO-SCUM ATTACK JEWS AT WESTERN WALL ON PURIM

IT'S A MAJOR JEWISH HOLIDAY - PURIM - SO WHAT DO DEVOUT MUSLIMS DO!?

ATTACK JEWS:
Israeli police forces stormed the most contentious holy site in Jerusalem on Sunday to disperse masked Palestinian protesters hurling objects at visiting foreign tourists.

The incident was over quickly, but the area remained tense afterward. In the past, violence at the site -- known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary -- has erupted into deadly battles.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police dispersed some 20 masked protesters who had holed up overnight in Al-Aqsa mosque building inside the hilltop compound. The protesters pelted tourists with objects early Sunday, and threw rocks at the police when they responded to the incident, he said.

THIS TERROR WAS PERP'ED BY ORTHODOX MUSLIMS.

MUSLIMS WHO DISAVOW THESE KINDS OF ACTS ARE THE APOSTATES ACCORDING TO ISLAM.

AT IT'S VERY CORE, ISLAM IS AN EVIL, VILE, VIOLENT, HATEFUL, MISOGYNISTIC, GENOCIDAL MILITANT IDEOLOGY.

ISLAM IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF ISLAMIC TERROR.

(BTW: THE WORD "PURIM" DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE NYT/AP ITEM - THEY ARE EITHER ANTISEMITIC OR MORONS OR BOTH. Update: Ditto this BBC piece: no mention of Purim.)

PELOSI TO DEMOCRATS: "LET'S COMMIT MASS POLITICAL SUICIDE!"


NYTIMES:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue's massive role in this election year.

Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program ''This Week.''

''We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress,'' she said. ''We're here to do the job for the American people.''

AT THIS POINT - THANKS TO OBAMA (WHO PAINTED THE DEMS INTO A CORNER), IT'S SUICIDE IF THEY DO AND SUICIDE IF THEY DON'T.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

UPDATE: You guessed it: Memorandum has more!

BOMBING WAS ATTEMPTED FRIDAY IN NY TRAIN STATION

The Wall Street Journal has some alarming news that has unsurprisingly gotten very little attention elsewhere: a Muslim whose legs were amputated tried to plant a bomb in a NY train station in Harlem:
An amputee missing both legs was arrested Thursday after police said he was wheeled into a busy New York City train station and planted a bomb.

Police found the bomb before it could detonate, but the discovery interrupted regional train lines briefly and closed the station for several hours.

The alleged device—a bag of small explosives wrapped in shotgun shells, along with bullets, glue, lug nuts, pens and a ruler—was left in a waiting area at a station in Harlem. Police later surveyed security videos to identify suspects including, Roosevelt Terry, the amputee. Police from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the Metro-North Railroad that was shut down, arrested Mr. Terry late in the afternoon.

“If the thing blew, people would have gotten hurt … could have even gotten killed with all the stuff in there,” said Bill Morange, director of security for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The incident is still under investigation.
The NY Daily News reports that the suspect's exact name is Perry Roosevelt, suggesting he's a convert:
A law enforcement source said the device was in a black Steve Madden shopping bag. Inside, cops found a laptop bag containing a computer, wires, lug nuts, paper and three shotgun shells taped to some M-80 fireworks.

Surveillance camera footage showed the bag being left next to a waiting room bench by a man in a wheelchair, who was being pushed by a second man, according to the source.

A 57-year-old legless man was questioned by police and admitted for psychiatric evaluation.

The device was not capable of being detonated remotely, but “if it was lit, someone could have been hurt pretty bad,” a law enforcement source said.

Two MTA patrol officers spotted the package shortly after 11 a.m.
This suggests it could've been a dry run test, but with real ingredients for explosives. Again, we have the problem of the excuse for this abomination being mental illness.

IT'S THE SUN, STUPID!

THE SUN IS WHAT KEEPS THE EARTH FROM BEING LIKE PLUTO, AND REGULAR CHANGES IN THE SUN'S OUTPUT HAVE CAUSED NEARLY ALL CLIMATE CHANGE.

(LINK FIXED!)

MORE HERE.

WHO ARE THE NEW DISSIDENTS?

I'll tell you who:
  • In Europe: Geert Wilders; Nick Farage and Vaclav Klaus.
  • In the USA: Jim Demint; James Inhofe; Antonin Scalia; Clarence Thomas and Sarah Palin.
  • In Science: Richard Lindzen; Lord Monckton; Anthony Watts; Roy Spencer.
  • In the Arts & Letters: Arvo Part; Tom Wolfe; David Mamet; Michael Crichton & Oriana Fallaci (RIP).
If we survive as a civilization for two more decades it will be because, in large measure, of these men and women and because of men and women like them.

Courageously fighting PC, leftism, eco-alarmism, jihadism - unafraid of the totalitarians of the Left or Islam.

The leftists who now run the movie studios, the networks (save Fox!), the publishing companies, and curate the galleries and the museums and dominate college faculties are the New Establishment. Either their time will soon be up, or it's over for us all.

GORE'S DEFENSE OF AGW IS WRONG ON THE FACTS

IN TODAY'S NYTIMES, GORE WROTE:

“The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States. Just as it’s important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm.”

GORE IS WRONG ON THE FACTS:

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN:

since 2001 there has been less water vapor in a narrow, lower band of the stratosphere thanks to cooler temperatures in the tropopause, and that may just be holding back global warming at ground level, according to new research published online in Science

“We found that there was a surface temperature impact due to changes in water vapor in a fairly narrow region of the stratosphere,” explains research meteorologist Karen Rosenlof of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Aeronomy Laboratory, one of the authors of the study. “The reason for the water vapor change is the temperature drop at the interface between the troposphere and the stratosphere over the tropics. What we don’t know is why the temperature dropped.”

That temperature does seem to correlate, however, to sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific that, of course, follow El Niño–La Niña cycles, along with other trends.

A new El Niño cycle—warmer surface waters—began last summer, which may mean that stratospheric water levels could change again.

So this effect could either be the result of natural variability in Earth’s climate, or yet another effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like water vapor trapping more heat and thus warming sea-surface temperatures.

All told, stratospheric water vapor declined by 10 percent since 2000, based on satellite and balloon measurements, yet that was enough to appreciably affect temperatures at ground level according to climate models.

“Reduce the water vapor and you have less long-wave radiation coming back down to warm the troposphere,” Rosenlof says.

Conversely, an apparent increase in water vapor in this region in the 1980s and 1990s exacerbated global warming.

THERE IS LESS H20 IN THE AIR, NOT MORE; THEREFORE GORE’S EXCUSE IS WRONG.

THE LACK OF SUNSPOT ACTIVITY AND THE EL NINO ARE WHAT'S DRIVING THIS WINTER'S WEATHER, NOT ATMOSPHERIC CO2 OR HIGHER ATMOSPHERIC H2O LEVELS.

THE AGW ALARMISTS/CO2OPHOBES INCORRECTLY PREDICTED THAT THIS WINTER WOULD BE MILD.

BUT INTELLECTUALLY HONEST AND APOLITICAL CLIMATE SCIENTISTS - WHO BELIEVE THE SUN IS MORE POWERFUL CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE THAN CO2 - PREDICTED IT CORRECTLY AND SAID IT WOULD BE A COLD AND SNOWY ONE.

ER, UM... THERE'S ONE OTHER LITTLE ITTY-BITTY THANG GORE HAS GOT WRONG: ATMOSPHERIC CO2 HAS NOT REPEAT NOT GONE UP IN THE LAST 150 YEARS.

IT'S TIME FOR AL GORE TO SHUT THE F*CK UP.

SURBER HAS MORE.

MEMORANDUM HAS THE COMPLETE ROUND UP - AS USUAL!

LATEST AGW ALARMIST PROPAGANDA: KILLING WHALES CAUSES GLOBAL WARMING

OY:

A century of whaling may have released more than 100 million tonnes - or a large forest's worth - of carbon into the atmosphere, scientists say.

Whales store carbon within their huge bodies and when they are killed, much of this carbon can be released.

US scientists revealed their estimate of carbon released by whaling at a major ocean sciences meeting in the US.

Dr Andrew Pershing from the University of Maine described whales as the "forests of the ocean".

Dr Pershing and his colleagues from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute calculated the annual carbon-storing capacity of whales as they grew.

"Whales, like any animal or plant on the planet, are made out of a lot of carbon," he said.

"And when you kill and remove a whale from the ocean, that's removing carbon from this storage system and possibly sending it into the atmosphere."

He pointed out that, particularly in the early days of whaling, the animals were a source of lamp oil, which was burned, releasing the carbon directly into the air.

"And this marine system is unique because when whales die [naturally], their bodies sink, so they take that carbon down to the bottom of the ocean.

"If they die where it's deep enough, it will be [stored] out of the atmosphere perhaps for hundreds of years."

Ocean trees

In their initial calculations, the team worked out that 100 years of whaling had released an amount of carbon equivalent to burning 130,000 sq km of temperate forests, or to driving 128,000 Humvees continuously for 100 years.

THESE CO2OPHOBES NEED TO GET THEIR HEADS EXAMINED.

WHAT THE LISBON TREATY TELLS US ABOUT OBAMACARE: IT PROVES THAT LEFTISTS HAVE NO USE FOR DEMOCRACY, AND THAT OBAMA WILL RAM TRY TO IT THROUGH

The EU-fanatics rammed through the Lisbon Treaty when their efforts to pass the EU Constitution failed.

The leftist elites - the "educated class" the "political class" - ignored the will of people and rammed it through.

The Danes, the Irish, the French - everyone who had a chance to vote on it voted NO, and yet the elites running the EUSSR ignored them all. PM Brown promised a referendum to the British people, but reneged.

It's all fundamentally anti-democratic.

The leftist elites care not one whit.

Obama and his comrades feel the same way about Obamacare as the Eu-elite felt about the Lisbon treaty AKA the EU Constitution.

They will ram it through one way or another.

Leftists have a greater attachment to the "utopianistic" goals, than to democracy as as end in itself.

This is why the left lies so easily and so frequently, and why they have no compunction about announcing that they think it's fine to steal elections and... why the left committed most of the genocide in the last century.

The left feels that they have all then answers and can run your life better than you can and the world better than "the people", it's why the left is willing to do just about anything to make it so.

The ONLY legal and peaceful recourse we THE PEOPLE have is to punish them this November.

Vote every single solitary Democrat and liberal out of office in every election at every level - state, local, and federal.

GET RID OF ALL THE LIBS.

Then... impeach Obama.

Our liberty depends on it.

THE UKIP WAS PRESCIENT ON THE EURO AND GREECE

MORE PROOF THAT FARAGE AND THE UKIP IS THE LAST BEST HOPE FOR BRITAIN AND EUROPE:



BACKGROUND HERE:



THE SCUM WHO RUN THE EU COMMISSION:



THE UKIP VISION:

THERE THEY GO AGAIN: LEFTISTS CLAIM LEFTISM AND ATHEISM LINKED TO HIGHER IQ

LATEST LEFT-WING ARTICLE CLAIMING LEFTISTS ARE SMARTER THAN RIGHT-WINGERS - AND A ROUND UP HERE:
Elizabeth Landau / CNN:
Liberalism, atheism linked to IQ — (CNN) — Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds. — Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ …
THIS IS TOTAL FUH-REEEEEEEKIN' BULLSNOT.

NEED PROOF?

HERE:

NORMAN PODHORETZ, IRVING KRISTOL, DAVID HOROWITZ, AND ME - AND COUNTLESS OTHER LEFTISTS WHO SAW THE LIGHT AND BECAME CONSERVATIVES.

WE DIDN'T BECOME DUMBER; WE FREED OURSELVES FROM LEFTIST SHACKLES.

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO REMAIN LEFTISTS DO IT ONE WAY: BY IGNORING THE RIGHT.

  • THEY'RE LIKE JURISTS WHO ONLY LISTEN TO ONE SIDE OF A CRIMINAL CASE, BUT WHO THINK THEY HAVE HEARD ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR CONVICTION OR EXONERATION.
  • MORE OFTEN THAN NOT - WHEN THEY HEAR AN OPPOSING VIEW FROM THE RIGHT, THEY DECLINE INTO NEAR VIOLENT COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND ATTACK ANY SOURCE WHICH OFFERS PROOF THAT THEIR SIDE IS WRONG.
  • THIS IS WHY THEY ARE AT WAR WITH FOX NEWS: THEY FEAR THAT IF MORE LEFTISTS START TO LISTEN TO THE OTHER SIDE - TO BOTH SIDES - THAT THEY WILL ABANDON LEFTISM AND GET OFF THE PLANTATION.

THEY'RE RIGHT.

  • YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SMART TO HAVE AN OPINION, AND MANY SMART PEOPLE HAVE MANY OPINIONS WHICH ARE WRONG - BECAUSE THEY'RE BASED ON PREMISES AND PRESUPPOSITION WHICH ARE WRONG AND WHICH THEY DO NOT QUESTION.
  • LIKE THE EFFICACY OF SOCIALISM AND STATE-MANDATED/COMMAND ECONOMIES.
  • THEY FAIL EVERYWHERE; THEY ARE ALWAYS OUT-PERFORMED BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISES -YET LEFTISTS REFUSE TO ADMIT THIS.
  • THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT VIETNAM WAR WAS WON UNTIL THE DEMOCRATIC DOVES OF CONGRESS PULLED THE PLUG ON THE SVG.
  • THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT AGW IS A HOAX.
  • THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT CUTTING TAXES IS GOOD FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH.
  • THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT A FETUS IS A HUMAN BEING.
  • AND SO ON.

ONLY BY REFUSING TO ACCEPT REALITY AND FALLING BACK ON TIRED OLD SHIBBOLETHS CAN LEFTISTS REMAIN LEFTISTS.

AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE CAN GO INTO DENIAL AS EASILY AS A DUMMIES.

QUITE FRANKLY, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE MAY FALL INTO DENIAL MORE EASILY AND MORE FREQUENTLY THAN ANYONE ELSE.

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE LEFTISTS.

CUZ THEY NEED TO: THEIR IDENTITIES DEPEND ON IT.


As for atheism... many intelligent people believe in the big bang, or "string theory" or black-energy/black-matter - though few can explain it. They accept it as an article of faith in the Church of Atheism and as a canon of the "Councils of Higher Education".

Structurally, it is NO DIFFERENT than how many other people accept it as an act of faith that God was the First Cause, and is aware of each and loves and every soul.

FAITH.

Plenty of high IQ people have faith in God.

To argue otherwise is to be a bigot.

Canada's "Fake Farmers"

So what's a fake farmer? Well, it's a complex situation. But basically a fake farmer is one who applies for a license to grow tobacco; someone say who has a full time job, is an urban dweller, but whose father or uncle for example, owns a farm formerly growing tobacco crops but sworn off because they took advantage of a government offer they couldn't resist.

So the license-taker owns the license, and the father or uncle with the farm uses that license to grow crops he took a buy-out of a quarter-million dollars or more to ensure he would plant other crops.

The Government of Canada was successful, with its anti-smoking efforts in a bid to convince Canadians that the state of their health was important to the government, and since nicotine is known to have truly dreadful effects on the human body, it made good sense to swear off tobacco.

Smoking cessation became another industry. So did the importation of overseas raw tobacco and contraband cigarettes that bypassed government taxation.

In the goodness of their governing hearts government decided to assist farmers to shift to different crops and initiated a buy-out program in recognition of the debt loads many farmers were stifling under. After the federal government reached its settlement with the country's largest tobacco companies over smuggling charges, $400-million in fines were reaped and government decided to plough that money into buy-outs to tobacco farmers.

Of the 1,084 tobacco quota holders a mere 18 were hold-outs, the others taking the payments, through the government's Tobacco Transition Program with some farmers receiving up to $1-million, as incentive to look elsewhere for labouring remuneration. In total the program cost the treasury $286-million.

As a promising 'exit' from the tobacco-growing industry it looked like a win for both government and tobacco farmers.

Those who accepted the buy-out, according to government documents, would not re-enter tobacco production, simple as that. "This program is available to help producers exit the industry, transition to other crops or find new opportunities outside agriculture", went the promotion line by Human Resources Minister Diane Finley.

Something, however, went awry on the way to achieving full success.

There were enough holes discovered by diligent pokers to permit tobacco farmers who accepted the buyout to continue with the business they knew so well. Encouraged by a growing demand from cigarette manufacturers, as matters now stand more tobacco may be harvested in the season to come than the year before, and a whole lot of it coming from farms owned and operated by recipients of buy-out payments.

"The reality of the situation is that tobacco is grown on a tobacco farm and there were no new tobacco farms miraculously created. People who took the buyout are left with farmland that needs something to do, stranded equipment, perhaps stranded debt ... and in this economy they've got to feed their family." This explanation courtesy of the chairman of the Ontario Flue-cured Tobacco Marketing Board.

A spokesman for Agriculture and Agri-food Canada also had something to say about this unfortunate misunderstanding, that the marketing board was expected to implement the licensing regime, the government will conduct audits of buyout recipients, and "Program participants who are found in breach of their commitment will have to repay the assistance, plus interest."

One would think.

CONSERVATIVES ROCK!











UN AGREES TO INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF IPCC

NYTIMES/REUTERS:
An independent board of scientists will be appointed to review the workings of the world’s top climate science panel, which has faced recriminations over inaccuracies in a 2007 report, a United Nations environmental spokesman said Friday.

The board’s work will be part of a broader review of the body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said Nick Nuttall, a spokesman for the United Nations Environment Program, who spoke on the sidelines of an international meeting of environment ministers here.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been under fire since it was pointed out that the 2007 report included a prediction that Himalayan glaciers would vanish by 2035, although there is no scientific consensus to that effect.

IF THEY REALLY APPOINT AN INDEPENDENT CREW, THEN THIS IS ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF AGW ALARMISM.

BTW: THIS SHOULD PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT THE DOUBTS RAISED BY THE SKEPTICS WERE VERY VERY SERIOUS - AND THAT THE SCIENCE IS FAR FROM SETTLED.

Update: Several distinguished British physicists have sent a letter to Parliament which devatates the CRU, AGW and the IPCC.

BOTTOME-LINE: Not only is the science NOT settled, much of the so-called "science" used by the alarmists was fraudulent, and when outside scientists saw that the CRU conslusions didn't match their own they asked for the raw sata to test the AGW conclusions, they were rebuffed.

That is UN-scientific; that is propagandistic.

NO SURPRISE: AGW wasn't ever science; it's politics posing as science.

There Are Many (Much) Better Reasons to Hate Economics

Emmanuel Subangun wrote in Kompas 2/27/10 op-ed:
As recognized by anyone who ever attended university and had economics course, economics suffers from two plagues. First, to support the claim of economics as a science, the limitation has to be clear. In economics lingo, economics has to be separated from other social facts -- boldly called as, from Latin, ceteris paribus. From this point, economic model is born and, alas, all economic policies are based on models generated this way. The second plague, economics(sic!) is not willing to be registered as social science, so that (sic!) it self-regards as a star (science) that has best understanding on social issues. This creates a superiority complex.
Geez!

Those who ever took econ courses (and elementary research methodology) seriously would understand that ceteris paribus doesn't mean a separation from the so-called economic and social facts. Ceteris paribus (or all else being held constant) means that when you try to explain the effect of a change of variable, you assume that other variables are constant.

Let me repeat this clearly: This has nothing to do with separating the facts, let alone between economic and non-economic facts.

It is about how to tell the effect of, say, proper Econ 101 education, on ability to write a well-informed op-ed. In your observation, you can not really tell it if you do not hold other variables (e.g overall educational level, writing skills, exposures to relevant readings, political bias, the number of economist friends, etc) constant.

Moreover, who said that economists do not consider non-economic facts in their analysis ? Mr. Subangun probably needs to read a whole series on non-economic factors in economics at the diskusiekonomi blog.

On his second claim that economics refused to be categorized as a social science, well, it surely has different methodology than, say, sociology, but it is a social science. Suppose it weren't a social science, does it mean that now we have social sciences, natural sciences, and economics?

Then Mr. Subangun also thinks that Boediono and SMI represent scientific economics, while Pansus common sense. The former fails to convince the latter, hence political communication dysfunction.

Common sense makes you think that the sun revolves around the earth.

Beside, Pansus does not use common sense, but play ill-informed politics. They just either, like Mr. Subangun, don't get the economics right, or, worse yet, for whatever reason, refuse to take well-founded economic arguments for bailout.

Additional flaw: From the quote, Mr. Subangun argues that economists want to separate non economic social facts; but at the same time he suggests that they claim to have best understanding on social issues. Alas, this argument is a contradictio in terminis.

Charged, But Guilty?

Israel's diplomats have been called on the rug to respond to allegations of murder without a shred of evidence that Israel was involved in the Dubai assassination of a Hamas terrorist with a record of inviting attention from a country whose people he has murdered and whom his terrorist group relied upon to further furnish them with destructive weapons of murder to be used against the Jewish nation.

It might seem obvious that Israel's Mossad would be involved in the assassination, following a tradition of such events. But it is also generally recognized that the Mossad organization is a highly skilled one, and its history of intelligence gathering and acting surreptitiously undercover on behalf of the state has been one of vaunted, highly admired delicate finesse, not blundering clumsiness.

Does it really seem reasonable then, that it would take a dozen to two dozen operatives to achieve the goal of a relatively simple mission? And that identifying clues might be left here and there to be discovered by any security agency halfway capable of interpreting them? Mossad's use of precise and cutting-edge technology, the skill of its operatives belie the accusations.

Moreover, Israel long ago, in the 1950s, recognized the imperative to act in a manner that would not imperil its people through the activities of Israeli agents. A vital statement of principle was agreed to between the nation's executive administration and its security and intelligence agencies, that those organizations would never make use of local Jews or local Jewish organizations lest they be placed in peril of revenge.

When the use of saboteurs or skilled intelligence agents, or commandos were required, they came from a discrete, well trained, intellectually capable cadre of whom very little trace would be left once an initiative was undertaken. In very few instances were these initiatives apprehended, and fewer yet when the operatives involved were discovered, but when they were, their lives were recognizably forfeit.

Now Dubai investigative authorities insist that a total of 26 operatives were involved in a fairly straightforward dispatch of a target. With individuals holding counterfeit passports reflecting British, Irish, German, Austrian, Australian, French and who knows, by the time they're finished with their theories, what other countries.

Israeli heads of mission have been called in to these nations' foreign affairs departments to be questioned, obviously held accountable for a breach of trust in carelessly making use of these countries' valuable passports for the purpose of carrying out an internationally scandalous act of elimination - a terrorist act, in fact.

Is it likely that a country like Israel, which dearly needs all the friends it can get, is about to deliberately imperil its relations with those countries which have been supportive of her? According to Dubai authorities, "The new list of suspects includes people who offered prior logistical support and preparations to facilitate the crime, and others who played a central role".

Really? The use of credit cards to book hotel rooms, pay for air travel and other incidentals, leaving a trail in other words as the 'team' purportedly flew in from Zurich,Rome, Paris and Frankfurt; then leaving the scene of the crime within minutes, according to Dubai police. Who claim that stolen identities resulted in the 'cloning' of passports.

The thing of it is, many of those 'stolen identities' belong to people living in Israel, and they are speechless with dismay: "I am shocked, it's identity theft - simply unbelievable". And they're right, it is simply unbelievable. Unbelievable that a sophisticated, highly successful, secretive and professional intelligence agency would resort to such schlock methods.

Unbelievable that a state which had recognized soon after its formation that it must never imperil the safety and security of others to achieve their goals, would now undertake to do just that. Unbelievable that a country under siege from its neighbours, suffering existential angst, and hoping to secure the support of Western countries, would deliberately throw all that overboard to achieve a single hit.

There is nothing particularly logical in all of this. Unless one imagines a not-too-clever but sufficiently resourceful group undertaking to emulate what they imagine Israel's Mossad might embark upon and how it might do so, to undermine the legitimacy of the state and cause it embarrassment on the world stage.

Amazing Medal Work

Aren't Canadian women athletes something? Don't we ache with pride for their accomplishments? And haven't they abundantly demonstrated that women are capable of excelling in arduous, extreme athletic disciplines, every bit as much as men. In their own way. And not to take anything away from men's accomplishments which are themselves astonishing in proving what the human body is capable of doing in the exertion of training the body to obey the mind.

Canada's female athletes have displayed their precise techniques, their ability to perform under great duress - all the more so given the absurd "Own the Podium" determination of VANOC to illustrate what Canada's best can accomplish and in the process placing a dreadful burden on already-overburdened athletes - in strength, control and finesse managing through sheer force of will to break their own previous records.

Men's sports are geared to men's greater physical strength and endurance, and it has been pointed out that fewer seconds pass between the three medal winners in men's competition than in women's in illustration of the fine calibration and the closer competition between men than that which exists between women where the competition is seen in tens of seconds rather than in divisions of single seconds.

Women rejoice in their freedom to be themselves, female competitors involved in extreme athletic competitions, earning the privilege of representing their countries by dint of their dedication to practise and sacrifice of personal lifestyles to achieve their dreams of Olympics glory. Where once men dominated the games and women sat on the sidelines but for a relative few events they were permitted, women, competing against other women, shine.

Perhaps there is truth in the fact that Canada's commitment to equality of the genders has produced equal funding and encouragement for both sexes, resulting in women pulling ahead in their game, leaving men struggling to achieve the medals totals that women appear to be piling up, while men's success languishes.

Whatever the reason, it is remarkable and marvellous that young men and women whose personal agility, strength, facility and brilliance in athletic performance encourage one another and find sponsors willing to assist them in achieving their goals of achieving elite status as national sports figures.

Another Slap-Down?

The U.S. President-Obama-led administration demonstrates its belief in the rationality of all humankind by appointing an ambassador to Syria, refreshing diplomatic relationships with the country halted by the assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri, for whose death in a 2005 bomb blast Syria was blamed.

Now appears to be a good time to re-engage, so President Obama announced last week a new U.S. Ambassador to Damascus, Robert Ford.
This is, after all, a new administration and a new president who has held out both an olive branch and an open hand to the Muslim world. The olive branch has been disdained as a Western trick and the open hand smacked down, repeatedly.

Hard-working, tough-talking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has returned to Washington from Damascus where she spoke earnestly and sweetly with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad about restoring relations, moving toward a peace agreement with Israel, and moving away - far away, from current close relationships with Iran.

And with Hezbollah. And with Hamas. And hands off Lebanon. That kind of good advice coming from a source with Syria's best interests at heart.

It's gob-smacking amazing that President Assad is so ungraciously and so consciously an ingrate. Denying that his government does anything more than give moral support to Hezbollah and Hamas, and friends, after all, are friends; hard to come by and dear to the heart of peace-loving peoples of the world.

And in a response that resonated throughout the Middle East and the West as well, Syria's president along with that of Iran, had a friendly confab with one another. The nerve of the Great Satan, to think it could dictate to proud Islamic countries whom they may consort with, plan with, enjoy the power of subtle warnings to the world at large, with.

"We need to further reinforce relations if the true objective is stability. We do not want others to give us lessons on our region, our history", huffed President Assad from the joint news conference shared by his partner-in-peace, President Ahmadinejad. With mutual friend and ally Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah standing by for good measure.


"I am surprised how they can talk about stability and peace in the Middle East and call on two countries to distance themselves from one another", went the arch statement of disbelief at American encouragement to "begin to move away" from one another; utterly absurd given their common interests, common goals.

As for his part, President Ahmadinejad took great pleasure in inviting the United States to "pack up and leave the region", for nothing and no power could distance Syria and Iran from one another. And if the Little Satan does not settle down and sit back as it should and await its mushroom-cloud disintegration courtesy of Iran, then it will invite a more speedy dispatch.

"If the Zionist entity wants to repeat its past errors, its death will be inevitable", went the genial promise.

IRAN HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT?



THEY'VE MOVED THEIR ENRICHED URANIUM ABOVE GROUND.


WHY?

ARE THEY TAUNTING US?

ARE THEY PLANNING ON KEEPING IT THERE, HIDING IT IN PLAIN SIGHT WHILE USING THEIR CITIZENS AS INVOLUNTARY "HUMAN SHIELDS"?

DUNNO.

DON'T CARE.

I KNOW THIS:

WE SHOULD WHACK THEM NOW.

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

WHEN IT COMES TO IRAN'S NUKES, HINDSIGHT AIN'T 20/20; IT'S SIX FEET UNDER.

THE PENALTY FOR HITTING THEM TOO SOON IS SMALLER THAN THE ONE FOR NOT HITTING THEM.

IRAN WILL NOT BLINK.

PSYCHOPATHS DON'T BLINK.

GENOCIDAL MANIACS DON'T BLINK.

REMEMBER: THE IRANIANS SENT CHILDREN INTO COMBAT AGAINST SADDAM AS HUMAN MINE DETECTORS.

THEY WILL NOT BLINK.

EITHER THE WEST ACTS VERY SOON, OR IRAN WINS.

OBAMA'S FOREIGN POLICY IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HIS HANDLNG OF OBAMACARE: IT'S A DISASTER


A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EXPERT CALLS IT LIKE HE SEES IT:

The Bush administration got a lot of things wrong – but at least they usually had some idea of who America’s adversaries were and who America’s friends were. For example, Bush’s policy of maintaining the special relationship with Britain was a simple recognition of the close bonds of alliance, friendship and interests that the British and Americans have had since World War I.

In contrast, Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are apparently clueless about some of the most basic aspects of foreign policy: supporting one’s friends and fencing in one’s adversaries.

The declaration of neutrality on the issue of the sovereignty of the Falklands issued by the US State Department is clear proof of the uselessness of the Obama administration.

...this mess is just typical of the drift in US foreign policy – if one can say that it even HAS a coherent foreign policy these days.

As I said, at the core of the problem is a simple inability to recognise and support our friends over adversaries. In his first year in office Obama made numerous apologies for America’s past to the Third World, he effusively greeted the Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, he bowed low to the Saudi ruler, and called for a “reset” of relations with Russia – all the while implying that America was at fault for all these problems.

At the same time he rudely undermined the security of America’s Eastern European allies by cancelling the ballistic missile defence with no notice and no prior discussion, he failed to push for a free trade agreement with Colombia – America’s strongest ally in South America – and he supported Chavez’s allies when they tried (luckily unsuccessfully) to unseat a democratic and pro-US government in Honduras.

...On assuming office, Obama’s vision of foreign policy was simple: he would repudiate past American policies and the whole world would melt before the president’s charm.

The administration somehow thought that we really didn’t have enemies with agendas completely hostile to our own – there were just countries that had become offended by US actions and they would happily cooperate with America as soon as the evil Republicans were gone.

Well, it hasn’t worked – and there was no Plan B.

WE POSTED THIS THE OTHER DAY.

BTW: THE BRITS ESTIMATE THAT THE FALKLANDS CONTAIN 60 BILLION BARRELS OF OIL.

OBAMA IS HELPING BRAZIL DRILL FOR THEIR OFF-SHORE OIL
, BUT IS NIT HELPING THE BRITS AT ALL.

WHY?!?!?!

SIMPLE: IT'S HIS LEFTISM: HE IS BIASED AGAINST EUROPE (AND OUR ALLIES) AND IN FAVOR OF THE SO-CALLED THIRD WORLD AND OUR FOES.

OBAMA BOLLIXED UP OBAMACAREE AND HE IS BOLLIXING UP FOREIGN POLICY.

OBAMA: WORST PRESIDENT EVER - ON RECORD TIME.

NO SURPRISE HERE. SIGH...

(VIA MEMEORANDUM.)

BIRDS OF A FEATHER: THE ENEMY AND THE LEFT, (AND THEY HAVE FLOCKED TOGETHER A LONG TIME!)

THE LATE TEDDY KENNEDY WAS TREASONOUS DURING THE COLD WAR.

NEIL KINNOCK - THE HEAD OF THE BRITISH LABOUR PARTY, WAS THE SAME POSITION AS TEDDY - AND HE TOO ACTED TREASONOUSLY:



THE LEFT IN THE UK AND USA WERE TREASONOUS DURING THE COLD WAR, AND THEY ARE TREASONOUS NOW.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE LONG ARGUED THAT TO DEFEAT GLOBAL JIHAD WE MUST FIRST DEFEAT THE LEFT.

ARE THE DANES SLOWLY BECOMING DHIMMIS?

SEEMS SO:

A Danish newspaper has apologised for any offence caused when it reprinted a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban in 2008.

Politiken said it was apologising as part of a settlement with Muslim groups in the Middle East and Australia.

Other Danish newspapers criticised Politiken for its move.

STEP BY STEP, THE EUROPEANS ARE SURRENDERING AND THE JIHADO-MANIACS WINNING.

THIS PROVES THAT TERROR WORKS ON MANY PEOPLE.

AS REAGAN SAID: Reagan: “We can have peace this second, if we surrender.”


“Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.

Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this,

but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement,

and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–

that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.

If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum.

And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he would rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.”

And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us.

You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery.

If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin–just in the face of this enemy?

Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs?

Should Christ have refused the cross?

Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world?

The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain.

Where, then, is the road to peace?

Well, it’s a simple answer after all.

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” There is a point beyond which they must not advance.

REAGAN WAS RIGHT: APPEASING THE ENEMY ONLY ENCOURAGES THEM: THEY WILL MAKE MORE DEMANDS AND USE MORE VIOLENCE.

POLITIKEN HAS NOT ONLY SHAMED THEMSELVES, THEY HAVE MADE EVERY JOURNALIST EVERYWHERE AND ALL FREEDOM AND LIBERTY LOVING PEOPLE LESS SAFE.

SCUM.

BOMBSHELL: MORE PROOF ALARMISTS DISTORTED TO ACHIEVE APPEARANCE OF WARMING

THEY DELIBERATELY SKEWED THE DATA TO EMPHASIZE UHI STATIONS:

WUWT - (CLICK OVER AND RTWT AND SEE THE CHARTS!!!!!!!):

There’s a new paper out by Dr. Edward Long that does some interesting comparisons to NCDC’s raw data (prior to adjustments) that compares rural and urban station data, both raw and adjusted in the CONUS.

The paper is titled Contiguous U.S. Temperature Trends Using NCDC Raw and Adjusted Data for One-Per-State Rural and Urban Station Sets. In it, Dr. Edward Long states:

“The problem would seem to be the methodologies engendered in treatment for a mix of urban and rural locations; that the ‘adjustment’ protocol appears to accent to a warming effect rather than eliminate it. This, if correct, leaves serious doubt for whether the rate of increase in temperature found from the adjusted data is due to natural warming trends or warming because of another reason, such as erroneous consideration of the effects of urban warming.”

Here is the comparison of raw rural and urban data:

And here is the comparison of adjusted rural and urban data:

Note that even adjusted urban data has as much as a 0.2 offset from adjusted rural data.

Dr. Long suggests that NCDC’s adjustments eradicated the difference between rural and urban environments, thus hiding urban heating. The consequence:

“…is a five-fold increase in the rural temperature rate of increase and a slight decrease in the rate of increase of the urban temperature.”

The analysis concludes that NCDC “…has taken liberty to alter the actual rural measured values”.

AGW = BS.

ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE ALARMISTS SHOULD SHUT THE EFF UP.

  • THEY HAVE CHERRY-PICKED DATA, AND DISTORTED DATA.
  • ALL THE CHERRY-PICKING AND DISTORTING ALWAYS MADE IT SEEM WARMER THAN IT ACTUALLY WAS.
  • THIS PROVES IT WASN'T ACCIDENTAL.
  • IT'S A HUGE CRIMINAL FRAUD.
  • THE BIGGEST CON JOB BY THE LEFT SINCE MARXISM.
