But it’s A Dry Heat

Well, with the aid of eight Republicans, the House narrowly approved the Cap and Tax bill that ensures that your liberties are severely curtailed in favor of discredited pseudo- science put forth by pseudo- scientists who are very interested in getting more of your money for themselves, and Liberals who believe they have a right to interfere in your lives in unprecedented fashion.
Now, it has (belatedly) come out that a scientific study of a dissenting opinion was squashed by the EPA and the Administration, so as to seemingly present the “appearance” of a unified front with respect to the “settled” science of Global Cooling, Global Warming, Climate Change, or whatever the hell they are trying to label it as now.
The day before the House was to vote on a controversial energy bill destined to be the largest tax hike in American history, it was revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency had suppressed an internal report challenging the entire global warming myth.
Despite the importance of this study, and how it related to a debate about to ensue on the House floor, its existence and suppression went almost completely ignored by America’s media.
This, of course, comes in stark contrast to regular and frequent news reports in previous years accusing the Bush White House of intentionally censoring the science of climate change.

Yes, I know- it’s a shocker folks. The news media in the tank for their messiah? Oh say it aint so, Joe- Joe? Joe?
REPRESENTATIVE JOE BARTON (R-TEX.): Well, good afternoon. I’m Congressman Joe Barton the ranking Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, and we’re here today on a very serious matter.
We have the Obama administration, which was put into office on the pledge and the promise of openness and transparency and full disclosure and a new change in government. And one of their biggest issues is the issue of climate change and whether we should move a massive reorganization of our entire economy because of CO2 emissions.
In order to move forward, the EPA administrator had to find an endangerment finding, which is a legal term meaning the EPA administrator had to declare that there was an endangerment to human health, and, therefore, we needed to regulate this substance — in this case, CO2.
There is a group within the EPA that’s tasked with doing some of the economic and environmental analysis. And a career scientist in that group prepared an extensive report, close to 100 pages in length, in which he found that there were very serious concerns about going forward with the finding of endangerment. And that’s the substance of this press conference, is how that report was suppressed, censored, prevented from going through the review process.
Also in attendance at the press conference which took place at 12:32 PM EDT Thursday were Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), Rep Greg Walden (R-Ore.), Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Rep. John Fleming (R-Louis.).
Yet, despite this press conference, and the significance of this revelation just before a key House vote, LexisNexis identified not one television news report on this subject.
newsbusters.org/blogs
Not one. This was not because of a “lack of interest” onthe part of the American public- I am quite confident that if the American people were presented with either spending our grandchildren’s money on questionable science, or perhaps waiting until all the facts are in, they would choose the latter option. After all, we have enough of our money going to questionable things here- lets not add to this.
Thomas Paine, in his paper entitled “Common Sense”, makes this observation, “Immediate necessity makes many things convenient, which if continued, would grow into oppressions. Expedience and right are different things.”
And yet everyone seems to be in such a hurry to pass this abomination of a bill- without even reading it! So much for the lie about transparency, and the lie about having this bill (and all others) on the government website for public comment. Also going by the wayside is Hussein’s claim that he will listen to differing points of view.
John Hinderaker of Poweline has alerted everyone to the release of the suppressed EPA Carlin/Davidson report along with incriminating emails by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. President Obama and his administration have again been appropriately exposed. Obama’s intent can no longer be in question, and his deceptive activities are instructive as to the role the United Nations will play in his plan to address the use of American wealth.
Because the American news media has not properly and openly questioned Susan Rice about her deliberations with the IPCC, nor the U.S. intentions concerning proposed international “monies” related to CO2, you are obliged to read the referenced CEI and EPA documents yourself; pay close attention to the copies of the emails contained in the CEI disclosure. Here are the essential elements and findings of the Carlin/Davidson report dated March 9, 2009: PDO-Pacific decadal Oscillation / AMO-Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation/GCM-General Circulation Models/ IPCC- UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change/CCSP- Climate Change Science Program/ TSD- Technical Support Document .

I guess the only bright spot in this whole mess is that this bill should die a slow death in the Senate, unless the jug-eared munchkin from Oz can pull another mad hatter out of his butt, because after people read this report, they should rightly be bleeding from their eyes at the blatant dishonesty of this Administration and its minions in suppressing any dissent, especially when this affects us in so many ways.
Want to sell your house? Not so fast- you will have to have a Federal Inspector come out and see if you are “green” enough- if not, you will have to spend money retrofitting the house before you can sell it. This is just one example- they want to control what kind of light bulbs you buy, limit your shower time (that’s a biggie for women, I know), how much water you use (even if it is your own well). This law would also drive the prices of ALL goods up to almost twice what they are now.
Can we afford this? I think not- certainly we should think twice about voting for anything where the proponents of this legislation feel the need to suppress the adverse report that calls into question the very need for this bill. Suppressing dissent is something Communist China, or Iran might do.
It should never be done by this government. To do so is so wrong, that it is traitorous.
And there is no good way to spin that.

Michael Jackson; Anti Semite, Child Molester
by Big Dog on Jun 30, 2009 at 03:10 Posted in Political 19 Comments
There is no doubt that Michael Jackson was a hugely talented singer and dancer. He had a lot of hit songs and he invented dance moves that others still watch in bewilderment. Jackson was a very good entertainer until sometime after his Thriller album when he began to get very, very weird.
One almost feels pity for a person deprived of a childhood he longed so much for. He bought a house and made an amusement park out of the property. He looked like a person who never grew up and this is probably why he loved to be around children.
But Jackson had a dark side and it was not pretty. He was mentally disturbed and those around him were enablers who allowed him to fall further and further into instability. He was a great singer but he died a pathetic, worn out shell of a human. He must have disliked his life and who he was because he spent so much money on physically changing himself.
Jackson has been receiving all kinds of accolades from the people around the world. The very people who distanced themselves from the weird guy of late are out in droves to discuss what a great guy he was. He did give a lot to charity and he did try to do good things but he was no saint.
Jackson was an anti Semite. He wrote and performed a song that has the lyrics:
“Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don’t you black or white me”
He somehow escaped serious problems after this song though many were upset. Jackson said he would redo the song with the words changed but he did not. He evidently hated Jews. Then again, maybe he hated blacks the way he kept trying to get whiter.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are out with their tributes (anything for face time) but since they are both anti Semites it is not surprising that they would embrace Michael’s life.
Jackson also had several problems with accusations of child molestation. The alleged incidents involved young boys and Jackson ended up spending millions to pay them and their families off. When he actually went to trial it was a media circus and the thing that saved him was the inconsistency of the stories of the accuser and his mother. That does not mean Jackson was innocent.
He served children alcohol and allowed them to sleep in his bed. This is disturbing and strengthens the argument of his deteriorating mental health.
While I freely admit that Jackson was a talented artist I cannot see how people can forget what his life was and the bad things he did. He was no hero, he was no idol, he was no role model. He was a troubled soul who hated Jews and molested children.
If it had been my son Jackson would have died at a much younger age and the cause of death would have been something close to lead poisoning.
Michael Jackson was a tortured, twisted soul who lived a dark and dirty life (particularly later on) where the good he did was overshadowed by his hatred for Jews and his “love” for little boys. Those who are raising him to the level of sainthood ignore his serious flaws and leave the message that it is OK to do horrible things if you are famous and talented.
Jackson’s death overshadowed the death of Farah Fawcett earlier in the day. I read that Fawcett died and went to Heaven. The Lord asked her what she wanted and she said that she wanted the world to be safer for children.
Jackson died later that day.
I hope his tortured soul finds peace in the afterlife but I will not be celebrating his life or mourning his death. Aside from his artistic talent, I see nothing special about him.

Once More, With Feeling
by Blake on Jun 29, 2009 at 10:18 Posted in Political 12 Comments
Immigration reform is a joke- but no one is laughing, at least in Texas, where the crimes of illegal immigrants and Hispanic on Hispanic crime is ballooning despite the “Sanctuary” Police Chief, Harold Hurtt’s repeated denials. One can turn the pages of the newspaper, which, even if liberal, still must cover the news- and glean from these pages the fact that these crimes outnumber those of any other group by far. An example:
Police issued a search warrant at the home of a gunman who fatally shot an Houston police officer last week before being gunned down during an undercover sting, authorities said Saturday.
According to KHOU, officers discovered a large amount of stole merchandise — including refrigerators, washers and barbecues — at the northwest Harris County home of Roberto Pedroza Carrillo.
The 37-year-old shot and killed Houston Police Officer Henry Canales in the parking lot of a Walgreens drugstore at Hillcroft and Bellaire Tuesday night. He was then shot and killed by another officer.
Authorities searched the home Friday night, said Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva, adding that the search was part of the ongoing investigation and declined to give further details.
Canales was part of an undercover team investigating stolen televisions. Money was exchanged with undercover officers when Carrillo shot Canales, authorities said.
Another officer tried to take the gunman into custody when Carrillo fired at him. The second officer, who was not hit, then shot Carrillo, who died at the scene.
Andres Nava Maldonado, 41, of Mexico, and Xiomara Mendez Rosales, 36, of Honduras, who were with Carrillo at the time of the shooting, allegedly fled the scene. They were later arrested and charged with capital murder, authorities said.
A juvenile female was also arrested.
No further information was immediately available.

This is but one example in a paper that can spew forth at least five other examples in a day- this one unfortunately involved the death of a police officer doing his duty. The last three officers who died in the line of duty did so at the hands of illegal aliens- people who should never have been here, but were allowed to stay because of misplaced “feelings” and “sympathies” on the part of liberals who feel there should be no borders at all.
I feel there should be a tight wall, and armed guards, especially on the southern border, but eventually on the north as well. Good fences make good neighbors, it is said, and at the very least, this would funnel people more towards legal ports of entry, and we could better control who is coming here.
Sen. Chuck Schumer has the idea of Biometric cards (ID cards- imagine that!) that these people could carry around so we know that they are who they say they are. This idea is meeting some resistance.
For example, New York Sen. Charles Schumer’s proposal to require a biometric-based employer verification system as part of a comprehensive compromise has strong business support, but it would be a deal-killer for some on the left.
“An overhaul of the broken immigration system is unacceptable if it trades fundamental civil liberties for quick fixes,” said Joanne Lin, the American Civil Liberties Union’s legislative counsel.
On the flip side, any plan that offers a path to citizenship for people illegally living in the U.S. today will lose the votes of a wide swath of Democratic and Republican conservatives.
“It just doesn’t make any sense at a time of record deficits and high unemployment … to give amnesty,” said Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston.
At the moment, these conflicting crosscurrents have created a toxic political brew on Capitol Hill, where the White House does not have the votes for any comprehensive plan that would try to secure the border, give businesses continuing access to immigrant labor and provide some sort of legal residency to currently undocumented immigrants.
chron.com
This conflict , of course, has Rahm Emmanuel, the Resident’s Chief of Staff, in a snit over the difficulty of trying to pass a lie off as the truth-
“If the votes were there, you wouldn’t need to have the (White House) meeting,” said Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, “You’d go to a roll call (vote). OK?”
chron.com
Well, Okay there, doncha know- It seems that Hussein’s “goodwill” is rapidly running out among even the people who do not keep up with the news. Somehow, they are coming to the conclusion that Hussein might not have our best interests at heart, or really even care about the average citizen, and they are beginning to have concerns about keeping their money, and their jobs.
Immigration reform means different things for different people, but it should NEVER mean fewer jobs for the citizens of this country. Anything that happens should solve, not create problems in the system, and so far, nothing on the table seems to do this.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees immigration reform, said the administration should be more concerned with enforcing current immigration laws.
“Especially now, with 14 million Americans out of work and President Obama himself predicting that unemployment will rise above 10 percent, we need to ensure that citizens and legal immigrants are not forced to compete with illegal immigrants for jobs,” Smith said.
chron.com
I am tired of writing about immigration reform, but I will not cease until this, or another administration does the right thing.
1)- Complete the wall- no excuses, this wall is needed for several reasons.
2)- Arm the guards- the drug smugglers, and indeed the human smugglers are armed- level this playing field.
3)- All immigrants MUST be positively identified, and a foolproof card of some kind should be issued, for their benefit as well as ours
4)- Immigration must be strictly controlled, with jobs going to citizens first, and immigrants second. Our citizens should ALWAYS come first.
It’s really not that hard, we do not need to over think this- and in the end, this will be a net benefit to all concerned. The immigrants, armed with this card, will not need to fear the authorities, and the employers will know who they are hiring. Taxes can be properly paid, and social security can be collected and disbursed, all as it should be.
Drugs will have a harder time getting into the country, and Mexico can begin to take care of its own problems, instead of exporting them here.
This is a win- win situation.
All you need to begin with, is enforcing the existing laws.
That’s always a good start.

1st District Maryland; Defeat Kratovil In 2010
by Big Dog on Jun 29, 2009 at 05:36 Posted in Political 10 Comments
Frank Kratovil narrowly beat out Andy Harris to win the Congressional seat in Maryland’s First District. The seat was up for grabs after we were able to vote out the turncoat Wayne Gilchrest. Gilchrest was such a RINO that he endorsed Kratovil and helped the Democrat win. I would have voted for Kratovil had Gilchrest won the primary but that would be because I wanted Gilchrest out and if we are going to have a Democrat it might as well be a real one.
Kratovil did do the right thing by voting against the Stimulus Bill but now he is being led around by his masters in the House. He voted for the cap and trade bill that, if it eventually becomes law, will cost millions of jobs and increase the cost of energy to everyone in this country. Remember, Barack Obama said that his cap and trade would necessarily result in the increase of electricity costs. Kratovil voted for that.
Maryland’s First Congressional District is a conservative district that has been reliable for the GOP. Andy Harris, a conservative Republican, ran against Kratovil and the millions the Democrats poured in here. In the anti Bush sentiment, Harris lost what should have easily been a win.
The 2010 election is just over a year away and it is not too soon for those in the First Congressional District of Maryland to work to defeat Kratovil. I think Andy Harris will run again and we need him and his fiscal responsibility looking out for us. Kratovil voted with his party on an issue that will hurt his constituents.
This whole issue of CO2 emissions is a distortion of the truth and is a product of EPA endangerment rulings with regard to the gas. The EPA quieted dissent on the issue and ensured that the administration’s agenda was pursued without regard for science. A string of emails released that deal with this show that the scientist in question submitted a peer reviewed paper that had results which ran contrary to what the administration and the EPA wanted. It was squashed and the scientist relegated to other tasks. He was told specifically not to work on climate issues and was given other jobs.
The CBO cooked the books with regard to the numbers on this cap and tax scheme and the Democrats are selling us a bill of goods.
The bill will result in higher energy prices and this is an admission by Obama. The bill will result in a loss of millions of jobs. The bill will hurt the economy. The bill will do this if they are successful in making it a law.
Frank Kratovil sent me a brochure in the mail a few days ago. He was telling me how hard he worked to keep spending down and how responsible he was. He told me that he voted against the stimulus (he did right on that one) and he kept trying to assure me that he had my best interests at heart.
Then he voted for the cap and tax bill. Frank, you are not interested in being fiscally responsible and you obviously do not care if energy prices for your constituents increase.
Those of you in Maryland should recall that your governor, Martin O’Malley, promised to fix the problems with the cost of your electric bills. He campaigned on fixing it and promised there would be no increases. He promised to fix what the Democratic legislature had screwed up. His meddling led to higher energy costs then they would have been. He lied, he meddled, and people’s bills went up.
Kratovil is meddling and while some might say that O’Malley was just ignorant, Kratovil KNOWS that this will result in an increase because Obama said it necessarily would.
In other words, Kratovil does not care how it will affect you.
Vote him out. Make him a one term wonder.
Big Dog Salute Red Maryland
UPDATE: Ohio has a Democrat who ran as a fiscal conservative but has voted for ALL of the bad money spending items. At least Kratovil voted against the stimulus. Democrats know if they run as who and what they really are they will lose.

Liberals eat their own
by Blake on Jun 28, 2009 at 10:18 Posted in Political 20 Comments
In the run up to a vote on a healthcare bill that would break the bank, (at least the one that exists in liberal minds), several Democrats are finally beginning to have reservations about where the money is coming from- questions they truly should have voiced six months ago, when all this tax and spend action began.
Ben Nelson, Diane Feinstein, Mary Landreiu, have all been the targets of MoveOn. org and other socialistic organizations, including the SEIU, the union that does the cleaning in hotels, empties the trash, etc. This would be richly entertaining, but for the deadly seriousness of the situation our government finds itself in- besieged by special interests on the left. Lobbyists are creating attack ads against the members of their party that these Special Interests have deemed to not be in sufficient lockstep with the more liberal and socialistic among them.
The attacks — ranging from tart news releases to full-fledged advertising campaigns — have elicited rebuttals from lawmakers and sparked a debate inside the party over the best strategy for achieving President Obama’s top priority of a comprehensive health-system overhaul.
The rising tensions between Democratic legislators and constituencies that would typically be their natural allies underscore the high hurdles for Obama as he tries to hold together a diverse, fragile coalition. Activists say they are simply pressing for quick delivery of “true health reform,” but the intraparty rift runs the risk of alienating centrist Democrats who will be needed to pass a bill.
In recent days — and during this week’s congressional recess — left-leaning bloggers and grass-roots organizations such as MoveOn.org, Health Care for America Now and the Service Employees International Union have singled out Democratic Sens. Ben Nelson (Neb.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Ron Wyden (Ore.), Arlen Specter(Pa.) and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) for the criticism more often reserved for opposition party members.
washingtonpost.com
I don’t know- did it not used to be that a person’s opinion was their own, and while one might disagree, one also respected the freedom to express said opinion? Well, apparently, according to MoveOn.org, not so much anymore. If a member of the Democratic Party is suspected of not toeing the party line very tightly, they are targeted for punishment. How communistic of you, comrade- I am sure your fellow travelers are wondering if the path they have chosen is worth the deceptions they have been playing on the American public.
The Web-based MoveOn.org plans to run ads this week against Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) over the issue.
“The Democrats were voted into office to fix this problem,” said MoveOn political advocacy director Ilyse Hogue. “It is absolutely our job to hold them accountable.”
One Democratic strategist who is working full-time on health reform was apoplectic over what he called wasted time, energy and resources by the organizations.
The strategist, who asked for anonymity because he was criticizing colleagues, said: “These are friends of ours. I would much rather see a quiet call placed by [Obama chief of staff] Rahm Emanuel saying this isn’t helpful. Instead, we try to decimate them?”
washingtonpost.com
Now that some of the Democratic party is beginning to have doubts, we will see the true nature of this beast we now call Liberalism. As the surrogates for Hussein, the MoveOns, the SEIUs, the ACORNs of this world ramp up their hate to whip their fellow dupes in line, the rest of America will be witness to the raw power grab this has become, as these people do all they can to subvert the Constitution by making laws designed to go around the Constitution’s true intent.
Will enough people wake up and heed the call to action, the urgent need to come together to save our Constitution? The Constitution has been there for us, in good times and bad, it has saved us from our excesses before, but never before have we been put to sleep with rampant consumerism, sitting in front of our flat- screen TVs, tuning out the real world, because it doesn’t fit into a half- hour sit- com.
Thomas Paine wrote of kings and royalty, “Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.”
Strong words- he could as easily have been talking about our “royalty” of today- the liberals who are pushing this suicidal agenda.
They are indeed, Legends In Their Own Minds, nightmares in ours.
