Chuck Baldwin sez: Rage against federal government ain’t good enough
Chuck Baldwin – the man who I voted for President in the 2008 election (and not Obama or McCain, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyaaaaaahhh) – has published an EXCELLENT op-ed piece on his website about why the anger of many Americans toward Washington is wildly misplaced. Baldwin recommends instead re-focusing our energies on the states, and reasserting our Tenth Amendment rights.
Here’s a hearty morsel of Rev. Baldwin’s fine essay…
...You see, the wizards in Washington and on Wall Street have us figured out. Along with their compatriots in the propaganda press corps, they know that no matter how loudly we scream, how much we protest, or how angry we become, the system is rigged to protect them. The best we the people can seem to come up with is “throwing the bums out” every two or four years. BUT NOTHING CHANGES–at least, not in terms of restoring the fundamental
Something about “health care reform” that isn’t asked enough…
Why should we believe that the representatives and senators who are most pushing “health care reform” are going to want to have the same government health care that the rest of us are going to be forced to endure?...
Ahead of his time: Michael Crichton on the global warming fraud
“F—ing pissed!” And that was one of the more polite e-mails that have come in since Friday afternoon when this blog and many others spread the news about the Climate Research Unit at University of East Anglia getting hacked. That 61-megabyte .zip archive has gone viral across the Intertubes and bunches of blood-boiling stuff is still being gleaned from the correspondence between climate “scientists” that points to a decades-long conspiracy to promote paranoia about global warming at cost of rigorous and honest study.
Well, many people have been saying for a long time that global warming is fake. And few argued against global warming as articulately and passionately as did Michael Crichton. The acclaimed bestselling author of Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain addressed global warming in his novel State of Fear. It was one year ago this month that Crichton passed away, but I’ve no doubt ...
CLIMATE RESEARCH UNIT HACKED! 61 megabytes reveal massaged data on global warming?! Did scientists conspire on climate scare?!
Ho-lee HELL!! This could turn into one of the biggest stories of the decade… scratch that, decades!
Could it be that the whole “global warming” thing has been nothing but a colossal scam on damned near every man, woman, child and dumb animal on the planet?!
The Intertubes are smoking hot this afternoon from the news about University of East Anglia’s Hadley Climatic Research Unit getting hacked and a heapin’ big pile of material being leaked online. The 61 megabyte file can be downloaded here. But if you want the gist of it, Watts Up With That has a bigtime discussion going on, including excerpts from the hacked stuff.
And if this small sample is any indication, a bunch of scientists have a lotta ‘splainin’ to do. There are e-mail exchanges among researchers about hiding data reflecting temperature decline over the past three decades, and even adding on ...
“…Only to God and woman.”
Last week President Barack Obama met with Akihito, the titular Emperor of Japan. You might have heard about it: Obama made a ceremonial bow to Akihito and it’s purportedly caused a lot of his political enemies to seethe with outrage…
Interestingly, many if not most of these same critics defended George W. Bush when in April 2008 (when he was still President) Bush not only held hands with but also gave a big fat slobbering fat kiss right on the lips to the visiting king of Saudi Arabia…
Bush’s supporters at the time claimed that Bush was just “following protocol”, exactly as Obama’s defenders are doing now.
Me? I can’t see a difference between what either of these two Presidents have done. And regardless of who’s doing it, it sickens me to no end.
If either Bush or Obama had acted like this as private citizens, that would have been ...
“Health care reform” bill passes in House, BUT…
…it MIGHT not have enough votes to pass in the Senate.
All the same, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if it wound up clearing through there as well. And I have never been more supremely disappointed in the House of Representatives than this past weekend for passing this.
These are supposed to be men and women of sound mind, great wisdom and far-reaching vision. With very little exception, they are short-sighted and sold out on principle utterly.
Leadership entails having the resolve to say “no” to your own goals and appetites when the world tempts you to say “yes”. As it is, there is damned little leadership in American government… and it’s an open question as to whether we have any leadership at all, or have in quite a long time....
Off-year post-election ponderance
Reflecting on something that I wrote the other day, in light of yesterday’s elections in a number of places…
I can understand being happy that an individual candidate has won election.
I cannot understand being happy about a political party winning several elections.
Maybe it’s just my cynical nature about such matters. Or that I’ve seen “control” flip back and forth between the Democrats and Republicans for many years now and there being no discernible difference between their respective collective performances.
What to call that? Enlightened? Disaffected? World-weary? Or just plain sick and tired of what must be called either mass ignorance or mass apathy?
If it weren’t for knowing too much about history, I would probably be proud to be an apathetic voter. As it is, I’m bound to no party. Loyal to none but God and my own conscience. Granted, that doesn’t tend to shift the polls appreciably ...
Russia watches American “Self Immolation”
‘Tis painfully ironic that these observations are being made in Pravda, of all places. Stanislav Mishin writes…
...It can be safely said, that the last time a great nation destroyed itself through its own hubris and economic folly was the early Soviet Union (though in the end the late Soviet Union still died by the economic hand). Now we get the opportunity to watch the Americans do the exact same thing to themselves. The most amazing thing of course, is that they are just repeating the failed mistakes of the past. One would expect their fellow travelers in suicide, the British, to have spoken up by now, but unfortunately for the British, their education system is now even more of a joke than that of the Americans…

That brings us to Cap and Trade. Never in the history of humanity has a more idiotic plan been put forward
Wanna see my appearance on THE JAY LENO SHOW?
Well, it was just “that Star Wars school board campaign commercial”… but at least I can now honestly brag about having made Jay Leno and a studio audience laugh on national television! 🙂
I put the clip of The Jay Leno Show featuring my commercial (along with a few others from around the country) during this past Thursday night’s broadcast on YouTube. Click here to behold Yours Truly’s visual effects and Melody Hallman Daniel’s awesome voice-over entertaining the entire country in prime-time!
However I don’t know how long it’ll be up on YouTube, ‘cuz as soon as I posted it the system told me that NBC Universal had already flagged it for possible infringement… which I’m thinking is just an automated response to the keywords I attached to the video. But even so, after EVERYTHING that I’ve gone through in the past few years pertaining to copyright law (yeah I’m ...
