Climatologist Dr. John Maunder, past president of the Commission for Climatology who has spent over 50 years in the “weather business” all around the globe, and who has written four books on weather and climate, says “the science of climate change will probably never be fully understood.” “It is not always true that the climate we have now (wherever we live) is the best one … some people (and animals and crops) may prefer it to be wetter, drier, colder, or warmer,” Maunder wrote on his website updated on November 27, 2007. “Climatic variations and climatic changes from WHATEVER cause (i.e. human induced or natural) clearly create risks, but also provide real opportunities. (For example, the 2007 IPCC report – see below – shows that from 1900 to 2005, significantly increased precipitation has been observed in eastern parts of North and South America, northern Europe, and northern and central Asia),” he explained.

As the credit paralysis stretches through its fifth month, a chorus of economists has begun to warn that the world’s central banks are fighting the wrong war, and perhaps risk a policy error of epochal proportions.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/12/23/cccrisis123.xml

Wonder why a Democrat controlled Congress can’t get anything done?
In the Senate, Republicans repeatedly used their filibuster powers to block or weaken Democratic proposals. Backed by President Bush’s veto threats, the minority party managed to sharply limit the Democrats’ influence on a range of issues throughout the year.
Nothing has helped the minority party influence legislation this year more than Senate Republicans’ liberal use of the filibuster. The obstructionist tactic can be overcome only with 60 votes in the 100-member chamber, where Democrats hold 51 seats.
The current Senate is on pace to shatter the record for filibusters, making the once-rare maneuver virtually an everyday threat.http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007Dec25/0,4670,CongressMinorityRules,00.html
Republicans have lost control of Congress, so they resort to these kind of tactics. They’re reduced to obstructionists. It’s time to get rid of these creeps.
Kris Kobach, a former counsel to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft who is currently the chairman of the Kansas GOP, sent out an email on Thur entitled “Kansas Republican Party Year in Review” in which he brags of voter caging. Blue Tide Rising has the goods:
… Kris Kobach, chairman of the Kansas GOP, sent out a self-congratulatory litany of accomplishments. Among them was one particularly eye-catching item:
“To date, the Kansas GOP has identified and caged more voters in the last 11 months than the previous two years!” […]
Slate.com has the best comprehensive write-up on how the Republican Party employs caging techniques to suppress the votes of the poor, the deployed, and college students. (You know, likely Democratic voters.)
Did we mention it’s illegal? And that Kris Kobach is proud to be doing it?
Since Kris Kobach can’t expand his own party or force his own Party’s members to support his candidates he’s shamelessly trying to keep Democrats from voting instead. This is the stratagem of a desperate and shrinking party.
Someone needs to ask Kris Kobach which voters he’s caging and how he’s doing it. Someone like a newspaper editor or perhaps a Grand Jury.

I always wondered about that… So THATS how they do it!! Thanks MH!!
I’m against putting voters in cages.
Caging those Republican voters and making them go vote is bad. They ought to use a buss and pay them a fair wage like we do in the Democratic party.
If you cage them, you’ll have to feed them, and clean their cages! Free the Dems.!
Remember the shoddy, cheaply manufactured goods of the 1970s? I remember buying a Ford van back in those days and the sliding door actually fell off one day when I opened it.What I’ve noticed while doing my Xmas shopping this year is how we’ve returned to those days. Everything seems to be made in China and Indonesia and it’s as cheaply put together as possible, everything from toys to clothes, it’s almost all crap nowadays. When are Americans going to wake up and demand that the quality be put back into consumer ptoducts? When are we going to go back to buyng only quality American made products? Manufacturers need to get the message loud and clear that we don’t want to pay good money for junk that needs to be replaced or thrown out after a few weeks or months of use.
Funny you don’t hear the Repubs. whining about obstruction, and promoting the ‘Nuclear Solution’, when it’s their party fillibustering everything. They’ve already used it more than the previous congress. Repubs. are nothing more than hypocrites.
Republicans have lost control of Congress, so they resort to these kind of tactics. They’re reduced to obstructionists. It’s time to get rid of these creeps.

Crybaby Democrats. These same tactics were used by Democrats when they were the minority.

Imbalance of trade and soft borders.
Begin a tax incentive for new factories to be built in ‘the Valley’ in Texas and other states that border Mexico. Allow ‘migrant workers’ easy passage to and from these facilities, at the factory’s expense. Either bus them in and out daily or build some kind of barracks for the workers. Eliminate the minimum wage for these workers.
To pay for this program, levy an import tax on everything from China.
Result: (Maybe) less Mexicans entering and staying in the country illegally. By providing them with work here and in close proximity to ‘home’ they can bring their wages back to their families w/o taxation or Western Union fees. This would allow them to remain Mexicans in Mexico while providing a slice of American dream. The import tax would reduce the imports from and our dependence on China and increase the tax base for American companies.

Hank, what exactly does “WHATEVER” mean?
What are the “real opportunities” created by climate changes that could move Kansas’ farming to Canada, raise sea levels by a few meters, etc…?
Most rational people would argue that the optimal climate is the one humans have adapted to duing human civilization.
Does Dr. Maunder have ANY credible peer-reviewed science refuting the consensus re human-caused global warming? No!
And please explain why Dr. Maunder signed a letter making the very false claim,”… there has been no net global warming since 1998″.

——————————————————————–Running away, no. Didn’t see your reply.
I stand by my statement.
The salary guidelines enforced where I work do not have a criteria item labeled “Gender”.
70% of employees are female. The same exact salary criteria is used for new and existing male and female employees. Salary increases are based upon the merits of their work.
And work performance is being measured in a manner that is as objective as possible.
In 25+ years in business, I have yet to see any discrimination based on gender.
If anything, I have seen reverse discrimination where female employees are actually given a preference for hiring and promotions.
That’s Affirmative Action, better described as Legalized Reverse Discrimination – in action.—–

I am both. While levying taxes and giving tax incentives goes against Libertarian philosophy, it accomplishes several goals. China threatens the core of American finance on several levels. As Dr. Paul would allow the free market to dictate, I think the proposal I offered would speed a more favorable outcome.

Nathan or Hank (whoever!),
The Republicans cannot Prevent the Democrats from de-funding the Iraq war.
To fund the Iraq War, 60 in the Senate must vote FOR funding.
So you see, the minority Republicans cannot come up with the votes to fund the war by themselves.
The Democrats are funding the Iraq war on their own – 3 times this year if I recall correctly.
In spite of Democrat cries to stop the Iraq war, THEY keep funding it!
Hypocrites.
And Senator Clinton is the biggest hypocrite of all. Promising in her campaign ads to end the Iraq war, while her voting record shows she authorized the war, and voted to fund it several times since then!
What a liar she is!
Anyone see the differences between Obama and Clinton?
No wonder Obama is leading Clinton in some polls. The more Clinton talks, the more reasons people have to vote for anyone else.

GMC,
Thanks for the link. Much there to emulate, IMHO.
BTW, Happy Boxing Day.
Got a question that I’ve had at there for awhile.
Why after the first WTC attack, did Clinton not close all bases in the Middle East to appease OBL and prevent 9-11?
President Bush tops list of most admired men. Clinton comes in behind the honorable president, and Al Gore, the GW freak, came in behind Clinton!
God Bless our American President!

Gene, Clinton was too busy:
Raising taxesBanning gunsScrewing Lewinsky
Clinton didn’t give a rip about responding to terrorism, outside of a courtroom.
We should have just sued the pants off of Tojo after Pearl Harbor.
Ran across this from another place. Listen to this spech; the content doesn’t matter a lot (though at times, it seems that speech could be delivered today), but the masterful use of theme, timing, and the right words in the right moment were powerful, then and now.

Is there any candidate, on either side, even close? I don’t think so. Moreover, is there any candidate, on either side, about whom we know their core beliefs and their core beliefs are unshakable? I don’t think so.
Yes, I know Reagan compromised. All politicians do; politics is, after all, the art of the possible. Compromise is inevitable. But through the compromise, there was little doubt what the core belief was, and it didn’t change. You may well disagree with those beliefs, and that’s fine. But they existed, nonetheless.
A far cry from the bulk of the current crop of ‘finger in the wind’ panderers, on both sides.
Gene–
That is indeed a very good question. George W. DID of course quietly close the bases to appease OBL just as you put it.
But why didn’t Clinton?
I don’t know. Maybe he bought into the Bush I lie of having to “protect Saudi Arabia from Saddam” or maybe he was afraid of the Gene Ralstons out there in Oregon of “capitulating to terrorism,” but it was a big mistake on his part and he bears some culpability for 9-11 as I’ve always said.
However, the person who bears the most blame was the man whom we hired to protect us. And he was on vacation . . .

“Someone needs to ask Kris Kobach which voters he’s caging and how he’s doing it.”
Usually, MH, caging takes the form of a republiCON operative sending out a form that must be returned.
If the form is not returned, the republiCON declares that the voter in question no longer lives at such-and-such address and has them purged from the voter rolls.
When said voter tries to vote, he or she is no longer registered.

Never forget the lesson learned from the New Orleans Gun Confiscation during Hurricane Katrina. And remember, who’s side was Sen. Clinton on. She was on the side of the police confiscation of guns.
http://www.infovideos.net/gun-confiscation-after-katrina
Gun Confiscation After Katrina
The video you will see on this web site is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.
The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution.
If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means.
You’ve seen this brand of abuse of freedom in the history books—in the pages about days of gun confiscations leading to the terror of Stalin, Mao and Hitler. But you’d never in a million years think it could happen in America.
Well, it can and it did. And it will happen again unless we take action today.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:
“No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.”
Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them.
Is there any candidate, on either side, even close? I don’t think so. Moreover, is there any candidate, on either side, about whom we know their core beliefs and their core beliefs are unshakable? I don’t think so.

You think gun confiscation can’t happen here? It already has. And Senator Clinton supported this action.
http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?ID=266
For the countless millions of Americans who believe in the true meaning of the Second Amendment-the right to be armed to protect self, family, community, country and our individual liberty-the words “Katrina” and “New Orleans” sharply focus on very real tyranny in our times, on our soil. Throw into those defining words the name Hillary Clinton, and you will see a glimpse of a future she would wish for us all-a civilization utterly transformed.
As you will remember, that Hurricane Katrina/New Orleans tyranny was ordered by a rogue police chief who, in August 2005, issued this unconstitutional edict: “No one will be able to be armed,” he declared. “Guns will be taken. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.” And that illegal order-in the midst of a natural disaster that produced unbridled anarchy and placed frightened citizens at the mercy of armed criminal predators-was enforced at gunpoint in house-to-house searches.
I vividly remember a stunning Fox network news video showing a 58-year-old grandmother body-slammed and severely injured by a burly patrolman in SWAT garb because she produced a small antique revolver, innocently saying it was all the protection she needed.
And I remember chaotic scenes of homeowners handcuffed, forced to watch police search for and seize their guns at a time when they needed them most. An ABC reporter explained, “… homeowners had armed themselves … in the end, police took their weapons but let them stay in their homes.”
And then there was a Cox News Service headline that defines what the 21st century Right to Keep and Bear Arms means:
“Armed militia protects its New Orleans neighborhood.”
The accompanying news story told of civic-minded residents who banded together in the face of a total absence of law enforcement to protect their community against roving gangs of violent criminals-many of whom flocked to New Orleans because of the news that over 270 local police officers went AWOL during the emergency.
Sol:
1) In terms of communications skills, not even in the same ball park.
2) RP’s a nut. An isolationist, ideologue nut. Libertarianism is a nice, quaint 19th century philosophy useful as a sounding board, but with little real value in a modern, interconnected world.
Core beliefs? Perhaps. But not core beliefs that I want put into practice.
3) His chance at getting a nomination, much less getting elected, is statistically only marginally greater than zero.
I’ll pass, thanks.
Though his campaign is disappointing so far, the only candidate who is close is Thompson. And frankly, I’m not sure Thompson really has the “fire in the belly” to run for president effectively.
Admendment 1, “Freedom of Speech, expression and/or Opinoin”.

The Great Ronald Reagan took peoples guns away too
Titled “The Audacity of Nope”, this link provides a sampling of Dr. Paul’s votes and positions on many topics, together with some thoughts on his fund raising abilities.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7551.html
Now, I don’t think saying “no” to darn near everything is a way to run a country; but I’ve got to give him credit for consistency, while still believing he is not a viable candidate.
1) In terms of communications skills, not even in the same ball park.
You win that one.
) RP’s a nut. An isolationist,
Nothing further from the truth. Try listening to RP once or twice and not just the talking heads.
Libertarianism is a nice, quaint 19th century philosophy useful as a sounding board, but with little real value in a modern, interconnected world.
So we should just trash the constitution, I mean it was a quaint idea back when it was written, but why should we follow it in today’s modern world. Doesn’t pass the logic test for me. You either follow the constitution or you don’t.
3) His chance at getting a nomination, much less getting elected, is statistically only marginally greater than zero.Why has he raised so much money? Why is he the most supported candidate by our military? Again, please take a closer look that what the talking heads feed you.
I’m not sure Thompson really has the “fire in the belly” to run for president effectively.
With you on that one.
The most impressive thing about RP? The other candidates are starting to share his opinion. When was the last time you heard a democrat state that ‘That is more of a State’s decision than the federal gov’t’ – John Edwards (not exact but close.
You hear it in the GOP’s stance now too.
Just a thought:
While I frankly agree with Capn in substance (write your opinions, certainly, but if all your’re doing is pushing your own blog, spare us), I think his signoff as “The Management” is telling.
He wishes.
Many on his side of the aisle have long considered this blog their own personal playground, and resent anyone else with a differing view spoiling it. So, in that sense Mr. West, if you put a burr under the self-appointed guardians’ saddle, feel free to post away.
BTW – No, the 1st Am. doesn’t apply here, as this blog is not state action. But it has always operated as an open forum (yes, at times to the chagrin of Capn and crew), applying principles of same, even if not legally required to do so.
http://www.nraila.org/Issues/Articles/Read.aspx?ID=266
Juxtapose that item with another headline that same week:
“New Orleans Begins Confiscating Firearms …”
All of that injustice led to NRA’s legislative battle cry, “New Orleans-Never Again-Never Forget!”
With NRA taking the lead, harnessing the outrage over the firearms confiscation all across the political spectrum, legislatures across the country enacted prohibitions against any such civil disarmament during times of emergency.
And equally importantly, the Congress acted decisively with enactment of a tough federal measure to forever outlaw such abuse at the national level.
And that brings us back to New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who now cynically claims she is all for the Second Amendment.
When Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter’s Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act of 2006 came to the floor on July 13 of that year, Hillary Clinton was among a handful of senators voting against outlawing the disarming of innocent Americans during times of disaster.
In essence, with that single recorded vote, the leading candidate in her party’s bid to take the White House voted to support the gun-ban mandate of the New Orleans police superintendent.
With her vote against Vitter’s “never-again” amendment, Hillary voted to disarm any innocent citizen who has the grit to keep a firearm to provide self-protection against evildoers.
With her vote, Hillary supports every aspect of the civil disarmament that marked the dismantling of the Second Amendment in New Orleans-including the refusal of government to acknowledge the existence of its secret cache of confiscated guns and its refusal to return those guns to their lawful owners once they were unearthed through NRA court action.
And with that vote, Hillary showed that her new phony support of the Second Amendment-which surfaced in an October 23, 2007, Des Moines (Iowa) Register article-is a cynical lie, insulting the overwhelming majority of Americans who know the true meaning of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
GMC…
The critical point to note is this: Paul was subjected to a harsh and informed attempt to embarrass him. Yet he didn’t embarras himself. We take it for granted that politicians flip flop, say stupid things, change their mind on substantial issues to pander to polls, and so on. It’s more a matter of how well they recover from (read: “distract from”) their oops’s than whether they make them. For Ron Paul, there is no recovering from faux pas’s because no one seems to have yet caught him in one, even after digging through newspapers back to the 80’s. And Russert’s attempts to catch him in one, aside from not working, occasionally bordered on the laughable (think of the accusation that it is inconsistent to be a strict constructionalist and call for a constitutional amendment). The very fact Russert, in trying to give Paul a workout and make him sweat, had to use such poor material just shows how dead consistent Paul has been.

Nite y’all
Note that Hillary Clinton was one of 16 Gun Confiscation supporters in the US Senate.
We’re talking more then Gun-Ban support. Hillary Clinton supports Gun Confiscation.
THE NOT-SWEET 16
As reported in last week’s Alert, on July 13, 2006, all 55 Republicans, joined by 28 Democrats and 1 Independent, voted to pass Senator David Vitter’s (R-La.) amendment to prohibit the use of taxpayer funds allocated under the Homeland Security appropriations bill (H.R. 5441) to be used to confiscate lawfully-possessed firearms during an emergency or major disaster.
Sixteen Senators opposed the prohibition.
In passing this legislation, the United States Senate acted on a bi-partisan basis to protect the self-defense rights of citizens when those rights are most vital, in the aftermath of a major disaster, when law-abiding citizens are left to defend themselves and their families.
Sixteen Democrats (including both Senators from the states of California, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York) voted to defeat this commonsense legislation (Déjà vu Note: Under the unblinking eye of the C-SPAN cameras, Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) voted against the Vitter amendment, then minutes later he reversed course and voted for it.)

The BEAST 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2007
47. Mike Huckabee
Charges: What’s worse, a calculating politician pretending to be a devout Christian, or a genuine heartland preacher who didn’t come from no monkey? Huckabee is both — a Southern Baptist who rejects Darwin, wants to give everyone a gun and thinks people with AIDS should be quarantined, and a seedy, corrupt politician who’s never seen a payoff so low he won’t stoop to pick it up. Democrats see Huckabee as easily defeated in a general election, but they shouldn’t be so sure — Smooth talking preachers tend to do well in this country. Huckabee is well-spoken, kind-faced, and the opposite of wordly — he’s Obama for hicks.
Exhibit A: “I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives… I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ.”
Sentence: Just as he’s about to win in New Hampshire, a freak gust of wind catches Huckabee’s excess skin and carries him out over the Atlantic, where he drifts for hours before God appears to him, tells him He’s a Unitarian, and sends him to hell.
37. Mitt Romney
Charges: America’s first clip-art presidential candidate, Romney is a strange mixture of game show host looks and android charm. A true flip-flopper, Romney’s ability to turn on an ideological dime is unparalleled, but his excuses are so inauthentic that even Republicans have trouble suspending their disbelief.
Exhibit A: “You can’t have freedom without religion, and you can’t have religion without freedom.”
Sentence: Strapped to the roof of his family car, which his dog attempts to drive across the country, but crashes horribly (because dogs can’t drive, of course). Romney’s flesh burns off in the ensuing fire, revealing him to be a standard protocol droid set to world domination mode. Narrowly edged out of primary race by Huckabee.
32. The Founding Fathers
Charges: Lionized as moral pillars and demigods ad nauseum without the slightest hint of irony. Can’t be judged by today’s standards. Electoral College? Dumb f***ing idea. Invoked by every assh*le in the last two hundred years to support every stupid idea ever. The original liberal elite. Able to withstand lightning strikes and the British military; unable to fathom poor people voting.
Exhibit A: Owned wigs, Africans.
Sentence: Depicted as cartoons on rapidly devaluing currency; beaten at effective democracy by former monarchies.
31. Dana Perino
Charges: In a nation weary of White House press secretaries who feign ignorance, the Bush administration took an innovative step this year, appointing one who genuinely doesn’t know anything. No more lies, America — Dana Perino really can’t answer your questions, honest! This slightly comely, over-promoted office wench not only didn’t know what the Cuban missile crisis or the Bay of Pigs even were; she actually thought it was a funny story to tell on NPR.
Exhibit A: “This is an issue where I’m sure lots of people would love to ridicule me when I say this, but it is true that many people die from cold-related deaths every winter. And there are studies that say that climate change in certain areas of the world would help those individuals.”
Sentence: Sent back in time to ‘62; Strapped to bottom of U2 spy plane for extreme history lesson.
23. Bill O’Reilly
Charges: If judgmentalism were sugar, anyone in the same city as this paragon of intellectual overconfidence would lose their teeth within five minutes. O’Reilly is everything that’s wrong with America: Won’t ever admit he was wrong about anything (and will lie repeatedly rather than correct himself), accuses all who disagree with him of treason or insanity, attacks all who criticize him, and glories in his own troglodytic bluster. Anoints himself an authority on morals, despite common knowledge that he is a sexual harasser. Pretends to be an “independent” who just happens to look, sound, and act exactly like a Republican. Hasn’t engaged in a valid exchange of ideas in his entire career, because he knows he’d be crushed in seconds by an average college freshman. O’Reilly wins by interrupting, shouting, and if all else fails, cutting off his opponent’s microphone. A tiny, scared child of a man.
Exhibit A: “And this is what white America doesn’t know, particularly people who don’t have a lot of interaction with black Americans. They think that the culture is dominated by Twista, Ludacris, and Snoop Dogg.” Gee Bill, where would they get that idea?
Sentence: Marinated, barbecued, and served at Sylvia’s restaurant in Harlem, where the blacks eat just like real people.
17. Hillary Clinton
Charges: Began in politics as a teenage Nixon supporter — that’s twisted. Moved on to corporate law, representing Wal-Mart and bravely defending Coca-Cola from disabled employees. Married out of ambition. Failed miserably as the first lady of health care. Has spent whole of senatorial career as a hawk and a panderer. Would have no shot at becoming president if she didn’t just happen to be married to one already.
Exhibit A: Has deftly avoided the flip-flopper label — by never, ever answering a question directly or committing to a position in the first place.
Sentence: Victim of vast right wing conspiracy to shove a brick up her ass.
16. Chris Matthews
Charges: Calling his show “Hardball” is like rechristening ping-pong “Thermonuclear Warfare.” Displays the slurred, unmodulated speech and unfocused antagonism of an aggrieved middle-management drunk. Can read a scurrilous political attack into any paragraph at twenty paces. Continues honing his pointless questions as his guests attempt to answer, cutting them off with an affected imperial weariness when their responses are insufficiently inane. Apparently ignorant of the implications of satellite technology, Matthews shouts louder at geographically more distant guests. Has repeatedly called Ann Coulter “brilliant.” Referred to Gerald Ford’s yuletide demise as the former president’s “Christmas card to the country.” Unable to laugh like a normal human, Matthews compensates by simply shouting “ha!”
Exhibit A: “This country is based on generalizations!”
Sentence: Hillary’s White House Press Secretary and personal toilet steward.
5. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid
Charges: Graduates of the Neville Chamberlain school of appeasement, the Democratic leadership continues to ignore the constitution-and the American people-by keeping impeachment “off the table” and refusing to defund the war. True pushovers, they’re too stupid, cowardly, weak and outmatched politically to accomplish anything substantive, their “strategy” essentially boiling down to whining a lot while handing Bush whatever the hell he wants. There is just no way that appearing this weak and ineffectual could be any better for them politically than impeachment. Everything that the White House gets away with, it gets away with because congress allows it.
Exhibit A: Failure to woo the two thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto is moot: They could defund the war with a 41-senator budgetary filibuster. But that would take guts and conviction.
Sentence: 2 cups anthrax bisque.
2. Dick Cheney
Charges: Worst president ever. So openly horrible, he now makes jokes about being Darth Vader. Unashamedly advocating for executive abuse of power and corporate theft. In and out of public office since his congressional internship during the Nixon Administration. Didn’t care about the quagmire he foresaw in ‘94, because since then he’d deftly maneuvered to profit from it. Polling lower than HPV.
Exhibit A: His Halliburton stock rose 3000% in 2007. No joke.
Punishment: Raped by the sun.
1. George W. Bush
Charges: Is it a civil rights milestone to have a retarded president? Maybe it would be, if he were ever legitimately elected. You can practically hear the whole nation holding its breath, hoping this guy will just f***ing leave come January ‘09 and not declare martial law. Only supporters left are the ones who would worship a turnip if it promised to kill foreigners. Is so clearly not in charge of his own White House that his feeble attempts to define himself as “decider” or “commander guy” are the equivalent of a five-year-old kid sitting on his dad’s Harley and saying “vroom vroom!” Has lost so many disgusted staffers that all he’s left with are the kids from Jesus Camp. The first president who is so visibly stupid he can say “I didn’t know what was in the National Intelligence Estimate until last week” and sound plausible. Inarguably a major criminal and a much greater threat to the future of America than any Muslim terrorist.
Exhibit A: “And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I’m sorry it’s the case, and I’ll work hard to try to elevate it.”
Sentence: Dismembered, limbs donated to injured veterans.

DES MOINES, Iowa – It was a stinky holiday for Robert Schoff.
The 77-year-old man spent part of Christmas Eve stuck upside down in the opening of his septic tank, with his head inside and his feet kicking in the air above.
“It wasn’t good, I’ll tell you what,” Schoff said Tuesday. “It was the worst Christmas Eve I’ve ever had.”
“Got a question that I’ve had at there for awhile.Why after the first WTC attack, did Clinton not close all bases in the Middle East to appease OBL and prevent 9-11?”Posted by: Gene Raston
Perhaps the simplest answer to your question is, because at the time the only base that OBL was concerned about was the one in Saudi-Arabia. The others which were few were simply seen as targets of opportunity and it was before the decision was made that every action was to go for really massive causalities.
The complicated answer has many different factors and more to the point most will have already made up their minds on them. Explaining them now is fruitless, I like most of the country made the incorrect assumption that Clinton was “waging the dog”.
As Max’s reply illustrates.
And with that vote, Hillary showed that her new phony Posted by: Max
Max I understand how you feel about Hillary. I think deep down most people feel the same way.
But you are placing an awful lot of logical and reasonable arguments against Hillary, on a very minuscule population.
The weblog is the regular posting spot of a couple dozen die-hard liberals in Witchita, Kansas, as well as a few conservative posters.
But this couple of dozen liberals in Sedgwick County Kansas is probably the largest organized group of blue people in western Kansas. But even if all of them vote for Hillary, Wichita and Sedgwick County will go to the republican candidate.
Even with all the Bush hate, in the last election – Bush supporters numbered 66 some percent of the voters. Kerry took about a third of the vote.
Heck, in Kansas only two counties went to Kerry. Douglas and Wyandotte Counties, and in one of those, Kerry barely squeeked by.
Kansas has one of the highest percentage of red voters of any state in the union. Hillary cannot win here unless the ultimate republican candidate claims to hate God.
So not only will Kansas not influence the final two candidates for president, Kansas will be providing it’s lonely six electoral votes to the republican candidate.
The poll surveyed 1,011 Americans December 14-16, and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
“President Bush tops list of most admired men. Clinton comes in behind the honorable president, and Al Gore, the GW freak, came in behind Clinton!
God Bless our American President!”
Oh and “AW” bush topped the poll at…..
10%
!That’s a statistical tie with President Clinton and President Gore within the margin of error.
That means out of a little more than 1000 people, they got 100 who say bush is their vote for most admired man.
HARDLY something to brag about!
Et tu Grover?!? Let the Swift Boating begin!
LOL————————————–Huckleberry’s ‘other’ biggest problem is (a) his name (b) his religiosity, and (c) his party’s coalition. As the OP pointed out, it’s actually a bigger problem in the Republican party than it is in the nation as a whole.
I have nephews and nieces who could write THAT ad campaign for the Republics (and later for the Dems). I’m pretty sure the Republics will do a Brutus on him before the Dems ever get a chance.
But hell, let’s play, shall we? :) There is just no telling what smart, touchy-feely Dems, their real dollar advantage over the RNC, and certain of the mercenaries behind the Swift Boat smear campaign will be able to do with it.
Like I said, the Republics gleefully salted the earth with the Swift Boat smear. Now we’ll see what they reap for it.Posted by: Pedant | December 24, 2007 at 10:34 AM

1 hour, 1 minute ago
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – A conservative anti-tax group Wednesday expanded its ad campaign against Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, helped by a major GOP donor who bankrolled ads that questioned Democrat John Kerry’s war record during the 2004 campaign.
According to Federal Election Commission records, ClubForGrowth.net received $200,000 this month from Bob Perry, a Houston homebuilder who in 2004 pumped nearly $4.5 million into the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth to pay for unsubstantiated ads that questioned Kerry’s Vietnam service.

Thank you GMC70, I hardly get tired of hearing President Reagan and yes he had the gift of speaking plainly and to the point. I often wonder how he would have reacted to the way the party has gone in recent years. And his opinion of Dick Cheney along with many that he knew and were in his own cabinet.He was taken aback with terrorism, though he seem to realize that it was a different kind of enemy than a state. He was criticized for his reaction to the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon.But he did recognized that we were not dealing with as a simplistic an enemy as a country.Terrorists have no country, they have no real hard targets to bomb or invade.
I am not sure how he would have reacted to 9-11 though I suspect it would have been far better then G.W. Bush. The fact the video was associated with the Weekly Standard might have given him a real fit. With their Socialist leanings and all, the truth that so many with a Socialist inspired thought process having so much power within the party. I can envision President Reagan spinning like a top in his grave!
AS to Ron Paul, no he is not the total answer to all this country’s woes but he is a step in the right direction.He hardly is espousing “Isolationism” simply that it is not in our best interest to be acting like we are the ruling power within the world. He believes that we should be interacting with the world but not being the hired gun in it. The U.S. system of Governing has become so blotted it rarely resembles a cognizant thought. It reaches the point where it has been so band-aided and re-shaped that little if anything is left of the material it was build with. It is time to scrape it and go back to the building material and start anew.
The strong, firm foundation that was the bedrock this country was build on.
Recommend many of us, on both sides of the aisle, read this and take it to heart.

Dear Hank,
Thank you for continuing to post Marc Morano’s list of 400.

As an American, I have always been inspired by the fact that my country welcomes those who seek refuge. And as long as our government officials maintain our borders and ensure that those coming from other countries are screened in order to protect those who legally live here, the concept of welcoming immigrants is a noble one.
However, something has gone awry. Indeed, illegal immigration into the U.S. has become an immense problem and a clear and present danger. Documented illegal immigration has more than doubled in the last decade. It has grown, by conservative counts, from 3.5 million in 1990 to 8 million in 2000. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that at least 13 million individuals will immigrate to the U.S. in this decade.
If the illegal immigrants in America were simply the huddled masses that the Statue of Liberty welcomes, then there would be little concern over illegal immigration. But it is much more complicated than that. The fact is that the United States is being assaulted by a global criminal network. While some of those crossing over American borders may genuinely be seeking better lives for themselves and their families, there are also, unfortunately, those crossing over whose motives are more sinister, who charge thousands of dollars for transporting illegal immigrants, who traffic young girls into America to be used in sexual prostitution and who prey on children for sex.
More alarming is the Center for Immigration Studies’ conclusion that lax immigration enforcement was partially responsible for the terrorist attacks within the U.S., and that such slack immigration policies may lead to more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, including chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear. Indeed, Time magazine recently reported that there may be plans to “smuggle nuclear weapons to Mexico, then operatives would carry material into the U.S.” This may be inevitable, in that thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens will continue to settle in the U.S., many from countries that seem to export terrorists.
Efforts to protect American borders, especially at the Mexican line, have increasingly become lax over the last several presidential administrations. The Bush Administration, for example, has been lax on its stewardship of the southern border because of its close relationship with Mexican President Vicente Fox. There is the sad, continuing story, writes George Putnam (Newsmax.com), “particularly in those states that border Mexico, where there is a steady, silent, pervasive invasion of the United States by an unarmed army carrying an assembly line of diseases into the heart of America.” Further details can be found in a report entitled “Immigration’s Silent Invasion, Deadly Consequences” where the authors state: “The invasion of illegal aliens pouring over the borders of the United States is taking an ominous turn. They are not alone! Their bodies may carry Hepatitis A, B & C, tuberculosis, leprosy and Chagas Disease. Chagas is a nasty parasitic bug common in Latin America where 18 million people are infected and 50,000 deaths occur annually.”
Illegal aliens, by avoiding health screenings at U.S. borders, carry TB, the most serious being MDR, a multi-drug resistant tuberculosis with a higher death rate than cancer. According to the New York Academy of Sciences, Update, January 2002, “TB bacteria readily fly through the air, as when an afflicted person coughs. It’s estimated that each victim will infect 10, 20 or more people—in whom the disease will likely remain latent, creating the potential ‘time bomb’ effect.”
To make matters worse, in excess of 7,000 new cases of leprosy have been diagnosed in the U.S. in the past three years. As the “Silent Invasion” report concludes, “illegal alien immigrants from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and up through Mexico have fueled the resurgence into the United States.”
Chagas, called the kissing bug disease because the parasite favors the face as a route of infection, comes in acute and chronic forms, which can damage your heart and intestines. This parasite now threatens our blood supply, yet no means to test the blood is currently available. Ironically, the public health community has been aware of this danger for years. “Hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected,” writes Donald G. McNeil, Jr. in the New York Times (November 18, 2003), “and there is no effective treatment for them. After a decade, 10 to 30 percent of them will die when their hearts or intestines, weakened by the disease, explode.” Three people received Chagas infected organs in 2001, the first such cases ever reported in the United States. Two of those three died. Moreover, “Dengue Fever, reports of polio, and now, the first case of malaria in Texas trickle into the United States as the invasion of illegal aliens increases in numbers.”
Undiagnosed disease due to uncontrolled illegal immigration is not merely confined to the border states. This health care crisis spreads daily across the nation. In 2002, Northern Virginia reported a 17% increase in tuberculosis cases. Prince William County alone reported a staggering 188% increase over the previous year. Health officials link immigrants to this outbreak and credit them with introducing the drug resistant strains. And in Queens, N.Y., the health department found that “immigrants” made up 81% of new TB cases in 2001.
What does this mean for American citizens? As the “Silent Invasion” report concludes: “It means your children are at risk when attending school or going to the movies. It means that when a classmate from a foreign country sneezes or coughs, your child may be at risk for any number of diseases. If you eat at a fast food restaurant, a person infected with hepatitis could prepare your food. If you need a blood transfusion, the blood could be infected with Chagas Disease.”
While we are engaged in far-away wars costing billions of dollars, America is simultaneously engaged in an ominous battle at our borders, which are as porous as they were at 9/11. Even the recently passed intelligence bill offers little hope for a solution. Will it take an epidemic to force our President and Congress to act? Or will it take another terrorist attack on American shores to get the attention of the federal bureaucrats who have been charged with protecting American citizens?
If you travel into the Third World such as Mexico, Central and South America, you will notice that while visiting a bathroom there is a box for used toilet paper in the corner and no soap or paper towels at the lavatory. The sewage systems can not handle toilet paper so it is a habit to throw it in the box provided which is open to flies and cockroaches. Additionally, for most Third World people, washing hands is non existent. Today, in California, Florida, Georgia and spreading to other states across the nation, recent arrivals are so accustomed to throwing their used toilet paper into boxes, they throw it into trash cans. Whether they work at the counter or chopping tomatoes, they often do not wash their hands. Thousands carry head lice, leprosy, tuberculosis and hepatitis A, B, and C.
Annually, an estimated 800,000 illegal aliens cross America’s southern borders while avoiding a health screening. They are not stopped or vaccinated for a host of diseases they’re bringing into America. Who is at risk? Everyone, but especially our school children when they come in contact with in-excess of three million illegal alien school children daily. What can those three million kids unknowingly transfer to our kids?
Tuberculosis, five years ago, was almost non-existent in the USA. Last week, a school in Sebewaing, Michigan reported 30 children and four teachers had tested positive for tuberculosis infections. Michigan supports a large Latin illegal alien population that migrated from Mexico. In the past four years, 16,000 cases of multi drug resistant (MDR) TB, which was formerly endemic ONLY to Mexico, crossed over the borders inside the bodies of illegal aliens. These adults and their children have spread out across the country to work in fast foods and harvesting. Another outbreak occurred in Austin, Minnesota where eight police officers tested positive for tuberculosis. A similar outbreak occurred in Portland, Maine last week with 28 testing positive for tuberculosis.
On November 6, 2003, at a local restaurant chain, Chi-Chi’s in Beaver Valley, Pennsylvania, unscreened employees ’served’ up plates of infectious hepatitis A to their patrons. Over 3,000 had to receive the painful gammaglobulin shots while two Americans died. Health officials reported, “Workers may have contaminated food by failure to follow basic hygiene in cleaning hands after using the bathroom.” The employees were not health screened by the restaurant chain.
Another distressing disease, leprosy, long feared from Biblical times, totaled 900 cases in the USA in the past 40 years. In the past three years, according to a report from the NY Times in February, 2003, leprosy has infected over 7,000 people in the United States. It was brought in by illegal immigrants from India, Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean. Leprosy spreads by infected illegal aliens working in fast food, dish washing and hotels.
Chagas Disease is brought directly from Mexico and Latin America where it has infected over 18,000,000 people. The T-Cruzi protozoan destroys heart tissue and other organs. “One can contract it by eating uncooked food contaminated with infective feces of the Vinchuca Bug. It crosses over the border in the bodies of an average of 2,200 illegal aliens daily. Whether it’s dengue fever, now in Florida, Hemmorhagic Fever coming up from Texas border towns or E-coli intestinal parasites arriving with illegal aliens from Mexico daily, every American citizen is under a form of ‘Bio Terrorism’. Tom Ridge of Homeland Security presents Americans with color coded ‘alert’ levels from Al Queda, but what he doesn’t protect us from is a mounting invasion from an ‘unarmed army’ of disease carrying illegals who are becoming just as deadly as 9/11.
What can you do as a citizen? The first and most powerful defense for America would be a five-year moratorium on all immigration so this country can regain its collective breath. Our hospitals, schools and social services are being overwhelmed by an average of 2.3 million legal, illegal immigrants and their offspring each year. Too often, individual Americans neglect to exercise their citizenship. You must demand that each restaurant that you visit hires only legal American, health-screened employees. You must demand your schools examine and process every illegal alien child for head lice, TB and leprosy on a regular basis. You must press your senators, congressmen and president to put troops on our border with Mexico to stop illegal aliens from crossing. You must insist that anyone hiring illegal aliens be fined and imprisoned. Remember the Boston Tea Party? The Alamo? When their leaders did not act in their behalf, average citizens acted in defense of their country. It’s time, once again, for American citizens to stand up for our country, our way of life and our kids.
Finally, you need to visit your schools, write your papers, call your TV stations, talk on radio stations and city councils to bring a discussion, debate and action as to why corporations, industry and government continue flooding our country with millions of illegal aliens who carry these deadly diseases. It’s your country, your kids and the future of this democracy that are at stake
Your elected and public officials are not telling you about a significant threat to your security. They admit terrorist are crossing our borders but they fail to tell you the dangers these invaders bring with them.
You may have heard that there is a concern a nuclear devise may be carried or driven across our borders, but you are not being told that biological weapons are entering our country every single night. When Sadam used chemical & biological agents to kill whole villages, most sane people condemned him as an evil despot. In fact, what he used to do these evil acts were called “Weapons of Mass Destruction”.
Well biological agents capable of creating mass deaths are crossing our borders. The government knows of these weapons….and no one is telling you about the threat.
The agents that are already infecting American citizens are Chagas, Dengue, fever, Malaria, Hepatitis, Polio, and Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.
All of these diseases were either wiped out or were never present in our country until the officials of your government decided to ignore or in fact hide the problem from you to appease anti-American groups.
Chagas disease is transmitted by the reduviid bug, which prefers to bite the lips and face of its victim. The parasite that this bug carries infects 18 million people annually and causes 50,000 deaths. This disease has infiltrated America’s blood supply. Chagas affects blood transfusions and transplanted organs. No cure exists. Your elected officials have failed to tell you that hundreds of blood recipients may be silently infected.
Chagas Results: After 10 to 20 years, up to 30 percent of those infected will die when their hearts or intestines burst as a result of being enlarge or weakened by Chagas.
Dengue Fever was an exceptionally rare disease in America. Recently, there was a virulent outbreak of dengue fever in Webb County Texas which borders Mexico. Thought dengue is not always fatal, dengue hemorrhagic fever routinely kills. Those who do survive suffer greatly.
Leprosy is making a come back. This disease was so rare in America that in 40 years only 900 people were afflicted. Suddenly, in the past three years American has more than 7000 cases. Leprosy is now grown to an endemic in northeastern states. This disease destroys flesh and faces…it is a terrible affliction.
Malaria was obliterated in the US, but now is reappearing in Texas. Polio was eradicated in America, but now is making a come back.
MDR-TB is resistant to at least two major anti-tubercular drugs. In the past, Ordinary TB was cured in six months with four drugs that cost about $2000. MDR-TB takes 24 months with drugs that cost around $250,000 and which have toxic side effects. This is an air borne disease and one infected person can easily infect 10 to 30 people.
Infections of school children are surfacing in Southern California, school teachers and students in Michigan, adults and children in Texas, and policeman in Minnesota. Recently TB has also erupted in Portland, Maine and Del Rey Beach Florida.
All of these eruptions of TB are being down played by health authorities. Out of sensitivity, they will only say that these diseases are being introduced by foreign born people
Let’s not be so politically correct. All of these deadly agents are being carried into our country in the bodies of the illegal aliens that are invading our country at the rate of 10,000 per day. 30 million are now walking among us…many carrying these highly infectious diseases.
Take action before it is to late…What You Can Do to Save America!
1. Find out about this issue…its far worst then presented here. If you’ not Mad, then you don’t understand the problem. Understand and you’ll want to help. Start educating yourself by reading the article on the right and through out this site.
2. Tell 5 of your friends about this site and let them know about this problem. Have your 5 friend’s tell their friends and family so we can get this information out to start a ground swell of support.
3. Vote one issue – Only vote for Candidates who will close the Borders and who will detain and deport illegals. Yes, there are many more issues we need to change… but this one issue covers a multitude of problems that are fatal to America. If a candidate will not commit to securing our borders…vote for his or her opponent
12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That’s 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001.
While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year’s 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.
A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers.
Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.
King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.
Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.
As the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. increases, so does the number of American victims.
According to Edwin Rubenstien, president of ESR Research Economic Consultants, in Indianapolis in 1980, federal and state correctional facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.
While the federal government doesn’t track illegal alien murders, illegal alien rapes or illegal alien drunk driving deaths, it has studied illegal aliens incarcerated in U.S. prisons.
In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:
The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;
Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;
36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.
“While the vast majority of illegal aliens are decent people who work hard and are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, (something you or I would probably do if we were in their place), it is also a fact that a disproportionately high percentage of illegal aliens are criminals and sexual predators,” states Peter Wagner, author of a new report called “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration.” “That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration and when we allow the ‘good’ in we get the ‘bad’ along with them. The question is, how much ‘bad’ is acceptable and at what price?”
I read it and lost a lot of respect for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Of course, being comfortable in her life, she can stand on her principles AND hobnob with the enemy.
Thank you, no.

JR -
I pity you. You preach tolerance but practice none in the real world. You talk about openness, but close your mind to anyone or anything that challenges your world view.
You are a small, sad person. You seem to take your apparant inability to interact with others with whom you don’t necessarily see eye to eye with as a matter of pride; it isn’t, of course, it’s a character flaw.
What a closed, dull world you must live in.
Hey this is not to say I don’t know any Republicans there GMC.
In Kansas, they are almost impossible to avoid.
I just keep at a minimum my contact with them. They don’t have anything interesting to say anyway.
Half of people know and care nothing as to politics anyway. Of the other half, not many wear their politics on their sleeve. But among those that do? I find Democrats and liberal eminently more interesting and friendly and just plain nicer than admitted Republicans and conservatives. Too, the more liberal are much more tolerable to work with for or around.
“What a closed, dull world you must live in.”
HARDLY. Why would I want to “enrich” it with people narrower than myself?
