The liberal argument for nuclear war
Great news, everyone! It turns out, these days, liberals can be war-mongers, too. And war-mongers of the most dangerous type: Algore Zittoheads are now arguing that a small-scale nuclear war could be “the cure” for global warming … by sparking decades of nuclear winter, as well as widespread famine and disease.
Apparently, the only trick for liberals is figuring out how to target such a war in a way that only affects red states.
This future-shock rationalization for nuclear war appeared on the National Geographic Web site, in an article penned by Charles Q. Choi. He quotes several other global warming drones, all in need of OxyElite Pro, including such intellectual idiots as Luke Oman and Michael Mills.
But hey, there it is, President Obama. Bomb Libya! You’ll be saving Mother Earth in more ways than one!
Anti-Qaddafi forces seem to be gaining ground
Forces aligned against Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi needs more than acne products that work, these days. As unrest in Libya grows, it appears anti-Qaddafi forces have taken control of an ever-growing area, including a town located only 30 miles away from the capital of Tripoli.
Qaddafi remains insistent on staying in control of his country, and has been waging a bloody path through anyone who dares oppose him. If we had a freedom-loving president, he would find a way to aid anti-Qaddafi forces in their efforts to bring freedom to Libya and an end to gross human rights abuses.
But hey, we have a president who’s willing to sit down with such dictators “without pre-conditions.” Translation: You’re on your own, anti-Qaddafi forces.
Farrakhan demagogues again
Nation of Islam loudmouth Louis Farrakhan never lets an opportunity for demagoguery against the US go to waste; he’s now sounding off about how the uprisings in the Middle East will soon come to the US.
Apparently unhappy that US President Barak Obama is not black enough, Islamic enough, or anti-American enough, Farrakhan is making it known that he still hates the US and wants to see an Islamic US rise from the ashes of the JudeoChristian US.
Yeah, sure, whatever. Take your meds, OK? And stop wearing nurses uniforms, Minister Farrakhan. They make your ankles look fat.
Gas prices spiking during low-price season
This time of year, gas prices are typically low; but with the unrest in Egypt and Libya, oil prices are spiking to the highest point ever for a February at over $100 a barrel. That translates to $3.49 a gallon for regular unleaded in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, over $4.00 a gallon in California and a national average of $3.29 a gallon.
That kind of price-at-the-pump are causing consumers to return to anger and frustration similar to the summer of 2008, and raises fears for where prices might head this summer. Saudi Arabia is said to be considering increasing production to bring the price down to sub-$100/barrel levels, but so far that action has not realized a lower market price.
If gas prices continue to spike, it could spell doom for the economy, at least in the short term, and could also spell disaster for Obama’s re-election hopes. However, if the GOP can get some domestic drilling reform passed into law, there could be relief on the way. Either way, pump prices need some solution to achieve some financial weight loss products‘ results sooner rather than later.
Another politicized Oscars
Well, no surprise, but Hollywood liberals politicized the Oscars this year. Again.
The only real surprise to this is who did it. It was not a loudmouth, ego-inflated star like Alec Baldwin. It was a loudmouthed, ego-inflated cinematographer, instead; and one who needed the best diet pills available, from all appearances.
Winning cinematographer and Hollywood-dweller Wally Pfister decided he had more insight into what’s good for Wisconsin than, well, Wisconsinites. Tilting his lance at Governor Scott Walker’s face-off with state unions, Pfister used his win to pontificate to the unwashed masses, saying, “I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now.”
Hey, we get it; you’re a union guy and you’re showing solidarity. But you’re not a Wisconsin taxpayer, so just hush up, will you?
Signs of a Christie run?
While New Jersey governor Chris Christie has recently said he doesn’t see himself as being ready to be president yet, his former law partner and current adviser has admitted he’s considering forming a PAC to investigate the viability of a Christie run, because it’s like “leaving money on the table” if it’s not done.
Could this be the first signs that Christie might actually reconsider a 2012 run? Christie admits he recognizes the opportunity. As a red governor in a very blue state, Christie’s example has inspired folks like Wisconsin’s Scott Walker and Ohio’s John Kasich to be bold in cutting the fat from their state budgets without apology.
Christie’s in-your-face, unapologetic fiscal conservatism is a huge antidote to the bloated “compassionate conservatism” of the Bush years. And while the New Jersey governor may be in need of fat burners personally, he’s proven he can make even a liberal east coast state go on a budgetary diet.
Skills and leadership like that are rare, and that’s what’s really behind the interest in Christie as a White House antidote to four years of Barak Obama.
Watch out, America…
Bible believers, beware.
The Obama Administration has let it be known that they plan to join much of the rest of the United Nations in rebuking Israel on the floor of the UN in an upcoming session, over the building of settlements in Israel. The US, long Israel’s strongest and most faithful ally, now seems to be joining the rest of an Israel-hostile world by this latest move.
If this is followed through on, many who believe the words of the Bible fear America could fall under a curse, citing a passage in Numbers 24:5,9, which reads, “How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel! … May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”
Some say such a move is necessary if the end of the present age is at hand. Time will tell the tale.
Of course, one could always think of more pleasant things, like purchasing cabinet hardware.
Walker, Wisconsin, take on unions
Recently elected GOP Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is a man of action; he promised to take on Wisconsin’s budget crunch squarely, and he’s doing just that. Walker and the GOP-controlled state house and senate are poised to pass reform legislation that would strip public employee unions of most of their collective bargaining power.
In childish protest, because they know they don’t have the votes to stop it, Wisconsin Democrats copied a strategy of Texas Dems from about a decade or more ago, and walked out of the State legislature, out of the state, and went to Illinois, according to several online reports.
Teachers apparently followed suit, with over 1,000 public school teachers statewide collectively calling in “sick.”
By taking away their collective bargaining powers, much of the negotiating power of unions would be decentralized. Such employment conditions exist in states like Texas, but have been rare in the upper Midwest.
Walker has the votes to win this fight; if he maintains the determination to do so, it would free his state to reform education, as well as balance the budget, in ways that it currently is unable to do. Public trade unions cover a variety of state jobs from teachers to county officials to police to catalog printing. OK, maybe not all catalog printing.
Anyway, the move is a bold one and could either make Walker an instant national conservative hero, or, if it backfires, could doom him to being a one-term governor. However, credit must be given to anyone unconcerned enough about re-election to risk making real changes.
Unemployment actually at 9.9 percent
According to a Gallup Poll, the real unemployment number stands at 9.9 percent, not the 9.0 percent promoted by the bow tie-wearing numbers crunchers from the Obama Administration. The same Gallup Poll unveiled an “under-employment” percentage that stands at a staggering 19.2 percent.
With nearly 1 in five Americans either unemployed or underemployed, it’s a tough sell for Obama to claim his policies are working. Yet he’s claiming exactly that. Which makes sense… who in his right mind would say, “I’ve messed up. Time to try something different.”
Oh well. Elections are only a couple years away… we’ll survive tell then and the nation will get a chance to do a further course-correction.
Algore won’t surrender on global warming
One of the snowiest, coldest winters in recent memory won’t deter Algore; on a recent episode of Fox News’ O’Reilly Factor, the host challenged Gore to explain the conditions. On his own Web site, Gore responded and claimed that the conditions currently burying most Americans living north of the Mason-Dixon line are proof… of global WARMING.
Here’s what he told O’Reilly, via his Web site:
“As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming.”
After the Drudge Report posted the Chicken Little claim, the increased traffic broke Gore’s Web site, keeping it out of service for nearly two hours. Algore might be better off predicting the future of healthcare jobs.
Florida strikes down ObamaCare!
A federal court in Florida has ruled that ObamaCare is unconstitutional and therefore void. While the ruling is merely a prelude to an eventual Supreme Court showdown over the matter, the ruling establishes important precedents that could lend support to an eventual Supreme Court overturn on the entire measure.
One doesn’t need a laptop computer to detect the flaws in ObamaCare; the judge ruled that by making the purchase of health insurance mandatory and a fine-able offense, ObamaCare stepped beyond Constitutional restrictions on federal authority.
That big giant gasp followed by a confused, “What’s that?” you just heard is the sound of liberals everywhere, astonished that America is still ruled by that “dusty old relic.” Most thought the Constitution had been completely overturned during the Clinton Administration.
Surprise! It’s still here, people!
