Global Warming around the Globe

Did anyone see this Eugene Robinson editorial in the Post yesterday?  

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-global-warmings-impact-cant-be-ignored/2014/01/27/b5917594-8792-11e3-a5bd-844629433ba3_story.html

He makes the claim that what global warming "deniers" are missing is that no matter how cold it is in one part of the world, the globe is much bigger and there are record heat waves in Australia right now so that proves human caused global warming.

Of course the "deniers" among us have been making the same point regarding the cooling trend for years.  He doesn't mention the fact that for every example of global warming, human caused or otherwise, there have been an equal number of record cold spells in other areas of the world.

I have been pointing this out for years, but it is only now when the sycophantic media has been totally embarrassed by algore's rant about how by this year we would experience a complete loss of all arctic ice and a sea level increase of about 3 inches, that they begin to make the global argument. 

I also find it interesting that Robinson uses Australia as his example. Australia is one of the most remote and relatively underdeveloped islands on the face of the earth.  Excepting perhaps Madasscar or and the Galapagos, Australia is just about the least likely place on earth to be directly affected by the human emissions of global warming.  And we certainly aren't seeing a rapid and increasing incidence of vegetation growth in Australia which would be indicative of the increasing CO2 emissions. Listening to Mr. Robinson you would think that the infusion of people from around the globe who are breathing while watching the Australian Open tennis tournament caused the extreme heat wave there.

The world we inhabit may, as some studies indicate, be warming.  As other studies indicate, it has been cooling for the past 15+ years, but there is no FACTUAL basis for the claim that the change in climate conditions is directly caused by humans. It truly would be nice if at some point, somewhere, some scientists would apply common sense and actual observation to reach conclusions rather than relying on staged computer models to develop their "Facts".

It would be equally refreshing if the editorial writers in the country's newspapers and even the President of the United States would be responsible enough to cut the demagoguery and speak the truth. 

The IRS and why we never see Tax Reform

There is little doubt that we in America, now have the most repressive and burdensome tax system in the world.  It is used by politicians to engineer social policy and as a Garrot around the necks of those who oppose their positions.  This is why there is so much resistance from politicians of both established parties to reforming it.  Question...Why do we need more than 70,000 pages of tax regulations in order to collect the FEDERAL income tax?  Does anyone doubt that it is necessary in order for politicians to punish those who oppose their pet projects and policies?  Senator Chuck Schumer stated, “It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies – we must redouble those efforts immediately.”

Schumer’s rant was centered on his war to annihilate the Tea Party. But here’s a thought provoking question from a friend, if there was never any IRS or government agency actions against conservative groups, what exactly is being redoubled?

The State of Our Country

This morning I received two interesting emails.  The first included a one question survey from the political activists arm of the never ending Obama campaign.  The survey's only question was, What are the most important issues you would like to hear from the President when he makes his State of the Union Speech on Tuesday evening.

I doubt I will hear him discuss my two suggestions the first of which be an announcement that he use the "pen and executive power" that he holds and eliminate as many Federal Agencies as possible until we return to self governing principles which are allowed under the Constitution.  I can't imagine him doing this, but I also don't understand the need for agencies like the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, the EPA, etc...etc...etc...

My other suggestion, which I also do not expect to hear is that he admit to the complete and utter failure of ObamaCare and his longstanding economic policies and as a result he will be using the pen he holds to sign his letter of resignation from the podium.

Yes I know I am dreaming, but if there were a trace of honor or patriotism in the heart of our President, those would be the two points he would be making.

My second email of interest this morning discussed the failures of Speaker Boehner and his leadership of the "Peoples House".  I responded as follows:

Boehner is the defacto leader of the Republican party. As far as I'm concerned, and you know this, the entire Republican party is represented by their leaders and therefore, IMNSHO, the entire Republican party should be annihilated.  We need a real third party, regardless of what the whining naysayers preach about losing to the Dems.  What good does it do to win elections for the Republicans when it results in leadership such as Boehner, McConnell and their ilk?  What good does it do to support the Republican party when their leaders ridicule and minimize the likes of Cruz, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin and anyone else who stands up for the constitution and true conservative American values?  Hell, we already have Obama,  his Sycophants and the fawning media to do this, why should we support the establishment Republican party who does the same and preaches a "go along to get along" mantra when the go along/get along strategy results in increased unemployment, economic morass and an overwhelming debt?  Why shoulod we support a party which accepts an increase in the national debt limit every 6 months so Obama cna use the executive office to increase the size and scope of the Federal government to the point that you can't even buy toilet paper to wipe your ass without it first being approved by the federal government?

The TEA Party stands for TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY.  We are not only overly taxed already, but the Fed is spending well over and above that while the Republican party sits by with their respective thumbs stuck squarely up their backsides complaining about and criticizing the true patriots who are trying to rein in the FED.

SCREW THEM ALL!  I will not give one red cent to support the Republican party or anyone who runs on their ticket.

People, it is time for a real third party of patriotic Americans to rise up and make sure our voices are heard.  It truly is time to band together as a nation and make sure that the government understands that they answer to us, not the other way around.  They need to be given the message that we will not be spied upon, dictated to or regulated to the point that we are unable to operate successful businesses or taxed to the point that we become bankrupt.  If we are unwilling to act quickly to make our voices heard and see that our votes are counted, we will become a nation which kowtows to the bureaucrats sitting in their offices on high in Washington and our country will never again be the land of opportunity leading by example for every other freedom loving citizen of the world.

So, rise up America, make your voices heard, help lead the charge to return America to its self reliant rots before we lose it.
