Climate Change Hoax Exposes Real Green For Gold

The Green Movement is made up of disaffected ex-communists, weirdos and then there are those going for the gold, green gold.

To those that "support" the green movement it matters not that there is huge dissension within the scientific community about climate change, that emails have shown the deception by those that support AGW and proven outright lies by hucksters like Gore making millions from this bilge.

Well, it gets worse:

Copenhagen climate summit in disarray after 'Danish text' leak
Developing countries react furiously to leaked draft agreement that would hand more power to rich nations, sideline the UN's negotiating role and abandon the Kyoto protocol

It appears that the hoax called climate change is nothing more than tree hugging for profit.

Local Principle Has No Principles About Harrassing A Soldier/Parent

From Blackfive via This Ain't Hell

This is important, especially in this time:

Help a Soldier in Need
My friend and fellow MARNE soldier,CJ Grisham, needs some assistance. He is an enlisted soldier and combat veteran. And he's done more for the troops by his words and actions than just about anyone I know. Please read this and help CJ if you can. THANK YOU!

While I have no problem asking for money to support these efforts, I’ve always been very bashful about asking for anything for myself. However, I feel like I must humble myself and ask for help on my own behalf in this instance.

In September, my kids brought home a note from their school stating that the school would transition to uniforms beginning in January — midway through the school year. Naturally, this concerned me as the cost for each kid (I have two who would be affected) would be at least $400. A note home to parents assured us that the principal would entertain concerns during the upcoming “uniform fashion show.” However, the principal ended that meeting without answering a question, even though numerous hands were up. After that meeting, I organized parents with concerns and began a letter-writing and phone-calling campaign to members of the school board and media. We succeeded in getting the uniform issue tabled until next year. But parents still weren’t given a voice about whether we even wanted uniforms.

Instead of deal with me and other parents who disagreed with her new policy, the school’s principal began contacting the Army with fictitious complaints that I had threatened her. She pointed to posts on my personal blog about her behavior at the meeting as proof. However, after being referred to military investigators, they concluded that I had never issued any threats through email, blog or otherwise. I collected letters from other parents attesting to my behavior at the meeting.

Unfortunately, the Army took what the principal was saying at face value and formally counseled me. Suddenly, I was a trouble maker after 15 years of honorable service. The Army practically forced me to shut down my blog, though the decision was mine alone and no orders were given to do it.

At a PTA meeting a few weeks later, I again tried to present a motion to discuss the school uniform issue with the members of the association. It was shot down by the principal and the PTA president. I was harassed the entire evening by school security officials. Thankfully, I decided it would be prudent to record that meeting. When school officials again began contacting the Army about my supposedly threatening and disrespectful behavior at the meeting, I published the video on my blog to clear my name. This didn’t sit well with school officials and only emboldened them to step up their claims and use the military to force me to take down the videos — the only piece of evidence I had to prove my innocence.

The principal even used my PTSD to try and bolster her claims that I was a dangerous menace to her and her goals.

Because of these actions, I am pursuing a lawsuit to clear my name and force the school system to admit they overstepped their bounds by denying my right to participate in my children’s education and attempt to ruin my career. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to tackle this sort of lawsuit on my own. Because of this situation, my wife and I felt the need to relocate our kids after being singled out on more than one occasion by teachers and school staff. We took our kids to live with their grandparents until my orders allowed me to relocate in December. That trip cost us over $1,400, plus another $1,500 in maintenance on our elderly van, which completely wiped out our savings.

So, I’m asking if you’ll help me. I need to raise $7,000 just to pay for the retainer and initial filing of the lawsuit.

I am reaching out through various avenues to help raise the money. I’ve enlisted the help of local media, talk shows and blogs to help me raise the money. Fellow milbloggers are reaching into their pockets and tapping their readers as well. My neighbors and local Huntsville citizens are donating to a local fund at a bank where I’m stationed.

In one week, I move to Fort Hood for the next stage of my military service. I need to at least have the retainer and initial fees raised before I leave. Anything you can do is much appreciated no matter how small.

There are a few ways you can help. On my blog, there is a Paypal link that can used to send money instantly through a debit or credit card. All money sent through that link will go into this fund. You can also mail checks or money orders to:

Grisham Legal Fund
c/o Redstone Federal Credit Union
220 Wynn Drive
Huntsville, AL 35893

Please write “Grisham Legal Fund” in the memo line if you use this option.

This has been an especially difficult time for my family as we’ve been separated from our kids for over a month. We look forward to reuniting with them for Christmas. This case is not about me versus the school district. It’s about parental rights and the limits of our educators in dealing with parental concerns, especially when those parents are in the military.

Thank you in advance and God bless you all during this holiday season.

Should Non Tax Payers Be Allowed To Vote?

Aude Sapere put up an interesting video about taxes and who doesn't pay them. 46 million don't pay federal taxes, indeed many don't pay and get a government check back and another 15 million don't make enough money to have to pay federal taxes. This is wrong. Everybody should have a stake in what the federal government sets as the tax rate and also have a stake in making our government work for the people.

Instead we have tax credits which is another way to spell bribery and people who are bribed should not be allowed to vote if they accept the bribe.



Maybe it is time in institute a no-tax no-vote rule.

Obama's Olympian Effort For Climategateism


Yep, his appearance will just nail a Gropenhagan (is Clinton going?) decision to American policy.

By switching his visit from Dec. 9 to Dec. 18, Obama appears to be betting that his presence can - as he has expressed hope for several times in the past - push the negotiations "over the top" toward an agreement.

Maybe they are "crunching" the numbers just one more time. Gotta get it right, eh?

Prague









Climate Change Prostitution

Climate change proponents are swarming to Copenhagen. The prostitutes are waiting with open arms.

Both work. Both promise satisfaction. Both fake it.

Gropenhagen Conference

Prostitutes Offer Free Climate Summit Sex

Copenhagen's city council in conjunction with Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to 'Be sustainable - don't buy sex'.

"Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes," the approach to hotels says.

Now, Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms, saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs. They have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to the Web site avisen.dk.

On the bright side, at least for Obama, Gore and groups like SEIU, at least there's another union, prostitutes, they can enlist in their effort.

Obama's Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings Promotes Underage Sex For K - 12

No matter how one personally feels about sexuality this is another outrageous example of the misfits and sick bullies that Obama and his handlers have populated his administration with.

They are not representative of America, in fact they are what America has deplored.

First grade sex in school lavatories, student teacher sex, having sex with older people and masturbation are part of the reading list's books that Kevin Jennings, Obama's Safe School Czar, and his group, The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) are pressing on students, teachers and school administrators nationwide.

WARNING: The material cited in the story below is very explicit, but you should read it to see for yourself the illegal sexual activity Obama's administration is recommending being taught to your children, grandchildren, in fact all children. Indeed, they, as in their other political activities, say that this is for the children, their safety and multiculturalism be it skin, nationality or sex.

Breaking: Obama's "Safe School Czar" Is Promoting Porn In Classroom - Kevin Jennings And the GLSEN Reading List

Which majority elected a president to teach that it is appropriate for children to hide in bathrooms, vehicles and secluded spots to have sex? Though religion and pride in America is wrong and unethical, sex is not only right and ethical, it is necessary in their eyes.

Each day the ineptness of this administration is seen, but so is their agenda that the electorate, who elected them, had no idea they were voting for. Could it be that Obama is on the one hand using Cap and Trade, for example, to distract from what he is doing with the other hand, which is undermining our culture, society and political systems from the bottom up?

Jennings shouldn't be anywhere near school administration, he should be in prison.

Elected Officials Flunk Government Quiz

Elected Officials Score Lower than the General Public

The ISI civic Literacy survey was not designed to test the civic knowledge of elected officials, but it did discover evidence of an interesting pattern that may merit further exploration.

All survey respondents were asked whether they have ever engaged in any of 13 different political and civic activities. These included, for example, registering to vote, signing a petition, contacting a public official, publishing a letter to the editor, and whether they have ever been elected to a government office.

Among the 2,508 respondents, 164 say they have been elected to a government office at least once. This sub-sample of officeholders yields a startling result: elected officials score lower than the general public. Those who have held elective office earn an average score of 44% on the civic literacy test, which is five percentage points lower than the average score of 49% for those who have never been elected. It would be most interesting to explore whether this statistically significant result is maintained across larger samples of elected officials.

The elected officeholders come from the ranks of Democrats (40%), Republicans (31%), Independents (21%), and those who say they belong to no party or indicate no affiliation (8%). None were asked to specify what office they held, so the proportion in which they held local, state, or federal positions is unknown.

Not all officeholders do poorly, of course. Some elected officials rank among the highest scorers. But the failure rate on the test among those who have won public office is higher (74%) than among those who have not (71%). Officeholders scored lower on all sub-themes of the test: political history, cultural institutions, foreign relations, and market economy.

In each of the following areas, for example, officeholders do more poorly than non-officeholders:

  • Seventy-nine percent of those who have been elected to government office do not know the Bill of Rights expressly prohibits establishing an official religion for the U.S.
  • Thirty percent do not know that “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are the inalienable rights referred to in the Declaration of Independence.
  • Twenty-seven percent cannot name even one right or freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment.
  • Forty-three percent do not know what the Electoral College does. One in five thinks it either “trains those aspiring for higher political office” or “was established to supervise the first televised presidential debates.”
  • Fifty-four percent do not know the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Thirty-nine percent think that power belongs to the president, and 10% think it belongs to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
  • Only 32% can properly define the free enterprise system, and only 41% can identify business profit as “revenue minus expenses.”

On some questions, Americans who have held elected office do better than Americans who have not. They are a little more likely, for example, to recognize the language of the Gettysburg Address (23% to 21%) and to know that the question of whether slavery should be allowed to expand into new territories was the main issue in the Lincoln–Douglas debates (25% to 20%).

Officeholders and non-officeholders find it equally difficult to identify the three branches of government. Only 49% of each group can name the legislative, executive, and judicial.

Obama Ectasy Finally Hits Street


Funny, the media has had them much longer.

The Climategate Hypocrisy As Exampled By Barbara Boxer

Yep, she shows her transparent support of her personal agenda and that she's dumber than a boxer of rocks.

Boxer: Climategate Email "Theft" Is A "Crime"

SEN. BOXER (D-CA): "I've been looking at these e-mails, even though they were stolen, they are now out in the public and we are now out looking through these e-mails...This is a crime, and I would ask unanimous consent to place into the record section 1030 of U.S. Criminal Code:

'Fraud and related activity in connection with computers having knowingly accessed a computer without authorization' it goes on, calling it a crime, so part of our looking at this will be looking at criminal activity"

Babs can really work herself up sometimes, especially when an ox she supports gets gored. Oh, show'em some rightous indignation Babs. Unfortunately, Babs isn't consistent.


Recap: It's only a crime when Mizzzzzz Boxer says it is a crime. Otherwise not.


What The Health Care Bill Has Become


Living in Manhattan, I would walk to and fro to work in the dark, very late or very early, and would come across huge swaths of posters attached to any available surface.

Sometimes they were ads for products such as Lancôme, sometimes for clothes, sometimes for bands or clubs such as Blondie, the Ramones or CBGB's and Max's Kansas City and some political or appealing for support for some issue.

They became even more art when graffiti was added though some thought them an eyesore.

The mindset behind the process and application is back with Planned Parenthood posting cityscape applications on web sites. The effort is telling because CBGB's posters sold revolution and the de jour band was just the conduit, fashion sold sex through clothes and graffiti bought turf through urban art. All messages within messages.

Health reform has become abortion retention because of endangered specie members such as Stupak. Planned Parenthood is using abortion to support government health care and a vehicle to codify abortion as a fait accompli though government health care. Even without the graffiti these visual vehicles sell and retain as the physical swathes come upon in the dark and do have a cerebral impact in a historical as well as current sense.

It is telling.

Al Gore's Internet Spreading The Truth Of The Lie Of Which He Preache$

Doing 360s or what goes around comes around.

JON STEWART: “Poor Al Gore: Global Warming Completely Debunked By the Internet You Invented.”

What are the chances he'll spend his green billion to set the record straight? 0%

Govt Help/Media Doomed

With friends like this, who needs enemies.

A top Democratic lawmaker predicted on Wednesday that the government will be involved in shaping the future for struggling U.S. media organizations.

I trust that to save the media, they will have to kill the media. And then hand it over to the unions.

This should enable the government to control the media more easily.

AGW Fraud Spreading Faster Than STDs

The pandemic of fraud was passed by man through England to America to Australia and now to Denmark.

Denmark Rife With C02 Fraud.

At this point it is believed that the CDC will not have the time to gestate enough doses of reality to save the North American population from Congress. There is a hope spreading world wide that it will start snowing and continue through the rest of 2009 preventing Congress from convening and voting on this fraud. When faced with reality, Congress has voted exactly wrong almost always in the modern era.

Jesse Ventura Bribed By MSNBC

Yep, the same station that has such luminary black holes such as Keith Olbermann.

Ventura says MSNBC nixed his show for not supporting Iraq War
When you live in Mexico, your houses all have names. I almost named my house Casa MSNBC because they bought it. I was paid like a professional athlete, and I got very wealthy. For doing nothing.

I would like to see a smackdown between Ventura and Olbermann. They could both wear pink spandex, tin foil hats and large orange boas. Afterwards they could reflect together on a Mexican beach sipping Pina Coladas. With little umbrellas. And magic sparkly dust that shows them truth, justice and the American way. In Mexico.

The Sandstone Quarries at Aquia Creek


Aquia Stone
L’Enfant had been hired to design and plan the new seat of government, the District of Columbia, and he chose to use the sandstone from the Aquia quarry. The quarry became known as Public Quarry and the island (actually a peninsula) became known as Government Island. (It was also known as Wiggington Island for reasons unknown).

Forty boundary stones, made of Aquia freestone, originally marked the four sides of the diamond-shaped square of the District of Columbia, North, South, East and West. The stones were square with a pyramid shape at the top and were laid out, each stone a mile apart, by Benjamin Banneker and Major Andrew Ellicott between 1791 and 1792. On the sides facing the states, the names of the states were inscribed. On the opposite side were the words "Jurisdiction of the United States." These boundary stones are the oldest federal monuments in the United States.

The White House was built using Aquia sandstone but the stone was painted white. After the War of 1812, when the White House was burned, the structure was washed and cleaned but more of the Aquia freestone was brought in to restore the building.

Parts of the Capitol building are built with Aquia sandstone including the original gatehouses which can now be found at Constitution Ave and 15th and 17th Streets in Washington. The stone is unpainted and the original color can be seen.

Fact Challenged WH Trods On Head Down

650,000 jobs, sullied research? No matter, we are the champions. Yeah, but of what?


Facts, never a strong suit for Obama, his cronies and this administration, can be stubborn things, especially when they seem to laugh at your conclusions for desired results.

Looking at the main objectives of the Obama administration, Cap and Trade, government health care, the Stimulus and Iraq/Afghanistan, one has to ask just how inept is this administration. Breaking it down more, economic policy, war policy, climate and health care policies, one has to notice that in all areas this administration appears to not know what to do nor how to do it.

But they will not let facts get in their way.

Howard Dean Socialism AND Capitalism In USA

Maybe Howie is thinking of the communist China economic model which should make all Americans happy, eh? That Howie, always thinking, but unfortunately, he was thinking out loud. Always dangerous for Howie. And America.

Onerous Ohio Taxes On Everything

I just got a friendly reminder from the Ohio Department of Public Safety about the need for me to renew my license pkates.

Ohio now taxes every thing one does and taxes it at usuary rates.

Special plate fees $25.00
State license tax $31.00
Local/county tax $10.00
Service fee $ 3.50
Postage $ 0.37

TOTAL $69.87

Of the 50 states, Ohio now ranks as the 8th most taxed state, according to the Census Bureau, of all the United States of America. When I left for Washington, DC all those years ago, Ohio was, as I remember, the 42nd most taxed state in the United States.

In terms of state and local taxes, in 1977 Ohio ranked 45th in the country for the amount individual tax burdens. By 2008 Ohio had moved to 7th in the nation.

It's time for all this tax stuff to stop. We can't just blame Strickland because there was Taft Jr., Gilligan, Celeste, Voinovich and legislatures that bought votes and monuments to their dim status as legislators. Nothing puts gravitas to a career as much as having pretty much every building, bridge and pig pen named after you.

It is obvious that having one's name attached to great deeds is a good way to be remembered, but cutting the size, scope and impact of government probably won't have a building with a big bureaucracy in it to do such a deed, ergo, nobody gets to put their name on it by legislating huge sums of money to something to cut huge sums of money. Wait a minute, I think this has already been tried.

Anyway, I'll pay for the new tags, but I'm tired of it all.
