This is hilarious … considering where we are now

There is actually a lot of good news out there

Now that the fall of the hoax of Global Warming has become common knowledge we can let out a sigh of relief, the world isn’t overheating. Beyond that, our way of life is still ok, not perfect, but fixable without destroying civilization. We can get on with growth by shutting down big brother.

It is becoming apparent that Americans will not be sucked into the freedom robbing politics of the statists. We can solve the problems out there without a federal government making us all serfs. All that is left to do is take back that power. Support the party of “HELL NO” by voting for those with good ideas that don’t increase the size and power of the government.

Solving our economic problems is not impossible, but trying to solve them by expanding the state is. We may have to start over but thankfully we have a roadmap called the Constitution.

Americans are libertarian

I think it may have been Limbaugh who said it but it’s one of those things that everyone who lives here understands. Whether from the left or the right we all just want to be able to live our lives without the government intruding. The good news is that our Constitution sets up a form of federal government that makes it possible. Our political impasse has occurred because we have allowed that government too much say. It was never supposed to be that way.

The states were where the details could be worked out as in the differences found in Utah versus Nevada. The local populations were to decide most things which allows for more freedom. This truth is being rediscovered and is catching the imagination of a new generation, a return to our roots.

If you ever get a chance to attend a Tea Party look around. There are ideas to agree with and those to toss out but the Constitution is handed out everywhere.

The more things stay the same

I read a lot,  usually economics and politics. What is bothering me is the consistent state of the argument. Maybe it’s just the way it is.

In real life having a job and money flowing allows you to take on debt that doesn’t seem exceptional because “things are good”. But in real life if things stop being good you can just get rid of that extra car or cancel the subscription, no big deal. In politics everything is a big deal.

We are in a situation where somewhere between 9.7 and 17% of us have lost our jobs and we can’t cancel the subscription. In fact, instead of doing what we need do, cut costs and downsize, we are told that it is the worst thing to do. Guys like Krugman say we should spend more!

Our situation should clarify why “the government” should not be getting into things that can’t, without pain, be eliminated. We currently have a group of people in power who want to not only spend more but expand the programs that make our situation worse. We can’t afford the “health care” system we have so it needs to be expanded? We can’t afford the “education system” we have so let’s make it bigger? Social Security is going bankrupt so we want people who are living in the country illegally to be included? It is a tough economic situation and small  businesses are struggling so raise taxes? We can’t afford the government we have so let’s make it larger? Two hundred miles to go and 1/4 tank of gas. If you just drive faster you can get there before it gets to empty. The nonsense goes on and on.

People say they want change. I’d like to see some.

OMG

If this plays out like I think it might get ready for a stock market revival and a turn around in business attitude. It isn’t because of hope that Big O brings but hope that he and the dims can be shut down.

And now it begins

Never in my wildest dreams did it occur to me that a Republican could be elected or even come close to winning the “Kennedy seat”. But it may happen. Regardless of the outcome but especially if the Democrats don’t back off, November will be the reddest election in history. Apparently it isn’t just those of us who are conservatives that are incensed by what is going on, the whole country is. Even Massachusetts!

I don’t know if Obama and the leftist in Congress really understand. This is serious. I honestly don’t know what could happen if they persist in jamming this stuff through against the wishes of the people.

The dirty work

It’s tedious writing about this but I do it for myself, just to look back and see how well I call it. The dims have just taken the unions off the hook on the so-called heath care bill that they alone are ramming through. When they lose their jobs in November it will be left to those evil Republicans to try and take away all those great impossible benefits that the Democrats have provided by stealing from the rest of us. If it isn’t done we will forever be harassed about everything in life that can somehow  be connected to our health. You know, whether we should be allowed to ride motorcycles, drink coffee, own a gun, have a fireplace, smoke, drink, how much mandatory exercise should be required, how many children we can have, and on and on. Predicting this stuff is so easy.

Holding back

It is fear and holding back that keeps a recovery from happening. The Democrats are totally to blame. They control all three branches of government; in fact, they have controlled the House and the Senate for three years now. Bush is gone. He has been for over a year. It is the policies of the Democrats and Big O. If we didn’t have to hear about some new job trashing scheme every day and live in fear that it will be implemented no matter what the people want, businesses would be hiring instead of another month of layoffs. It is really that simple.

So where do we go from here?

To keep from the indecency of “profiling” those relatively few who may be terrorist we opt for this?  What’s next, cavity searches? How they must be laughing at us!

What could be a great start for the new year

The people are rioting in Iran, the largest instigator of terrorism in the world. Iran is within a year of developing nuclear weapons and threatening every civilized nation in the region (as well as the others). And President O is still wanting to make a deal with the lunatics in charge instead of making it clear that we support freedom for the Iranian people and will do whatever we can to help them. Is he afraid the Mullahs will hate us? Too late, don’t you think.

Guess what we got for Christmas

We got a down payment on yet another unfunded mandate. It’s kind of like my mom who used to always give us gloves (it’s really cold in Phoenix, ya know) except this is more like getting one glove so it can be worn like Michael Jackson. I hate standing in those return lines but this gift is worse than useless. It’s a “free” months rent after signing a lifetime lease at the Biltmore. See yall in line!

I don’t think that most people even understand that much of the cost of this thing is placed on the states. You know, those local governments that are going insolvent. Like all governments, they create nothing, so it means either cutting other services or raising taxes. But this is how the game is played, a group of politicians (usually Democrats) passes something so they can say that they are for the “little guy” and then the others (usually Republicans) gets to be the bad guys and try to take it away or defund it because it can’t be paid for. Think of it as mom with a credit card and dad with a job. Mom is loved because she is '”caring” and dad is reviled because he is a tightwad.

Maybe it will sink in when the kids find themselves living in the street.

Lessons from the wreckage

As the smoke clears from the crash of AGW it is important to understand there are forces that will always attempt to harness the fears of people. We have all lived through several of these manipulations (swine flu, bird flu, mad cow, Y2K, 2012, global warming/cooling, gas shortages, peak oil, guilt, asteroids, hemorrhoids ...) so it is time to start paying attention or we will become slaves of our so-called protectors.

Understand that there are interests (political, religious, business) that want power and money. Any time it is demanded that you give up some of your freedom or money red flags should start to fly.

How can you Americans put up with this stuff?

The other day my wife had a baby shower for a lady who had immigrated from Poland several years back. I asked her how she liked it here and she mentioned that her husband, who is an engineer, was disgusted with all of the laws and rules. How ironic that people from a former communist country notice our suppression but apparently many of us don’t.

It seems that the left has found the perfect guise for totalitarianism. They just want to protect us from …. everything. Our light bulbs, cars, the toys our kids play with, what we put into or or on our bodies, whether or not we buy health insurance, even what we think. With a gun to our heads they will get what they want regardless of our silly outdated constitution.

If you think they were shocked by the governors elections in Virginia and New Jersey wait till they experience November 2010. There will be red from one coast to the other. We’ll have to repeal the damage they have done and are in the process of doing. There isn’t any money for this insanity.

Obama: “Precipice” of a deal

Does he have a way with words or not? I’m so glad we have an articulate President!

Déjà vu all over again

 

1974 CIA Report on imminent ice age. We are reliving all of those Saturday morning science fiction movies.

Measure it with a micrometer ….

We used to joke about how sensitive our test equipment (inertial navigation system) was back in the Air Force.  “We measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a piece of chalk, and cut it with an axe.” In the world of “climate change” it is exactly the opposite. We chop it with an axe (tree rings), mark it with a piece of chalk (guess), then measure it with a micrometer and say, “Look we’ve warmed a half degree!!! Oh no!!!”. Good grief.

Bias by silence

Most bias found in the alphabet news is not caused by a particular slant, it is often by the decision that it just isn’t news. “Climategate” is a perfect example.

12 Days, 3 Networks and No Mention of ClimateGate Scandal
Even as Copenhagen looms, broadcast news ignores e-mails suggesting warming alarmists 'manipulated' data, conspired to destroy information and thwarted peer reviews.

It’s been nearly two weeks since a scandal shook many people’s faith in the scientists behind global warming alarmism. The scandal forced the University of East Anglia (UK) to divulge that it threw away raw temperature data and prompted the temporary resignation of Phil Jones of the university’s Climate Research Unit.

Despite that resignation and calls by a U.S. senator to investigate the matter, ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news programming has remained silent – not mentioning a word about the scandal since it broke on Nov. 20, even as world leaders including President Barack Obama prepare to meet in Copenhagen, Denmark next week to promote a pact to reduce greenhouse gases.

Day Fourteen and Counting Does anybody still watch these guys?

Crash and Burn …. we’ll see

It has been fun to watch the “believers” not knowing how to take in the hacking (or was it an inside job?) story. Their precious consensus is now shown to be what it always was, not only a lie but a con job. And then there is the absolutely disastrous data upon which global warming is based.

Last year a science teacher at our school decided to show his 8th grade classes Gore’s movie. I asked him if he was willing to show both sides. He told me there was no other side. I suggested a few videos that could be obtained on Youtube. He told me that that they weren’t “real” scientists to which I disagreed. In the end I asked him if he was just going to propagandize his students and he said that there was no other relevant view.

Hopefully that will change before we waste trillions of dollars and destroy civilization as we know it.

The S__T has finally hit the fan … just in time

CO2 never was a problem and all the machinations and deceptions exposed by these files prove that it was the greatest deception in history, but nobody is laughing. It is a very sad day for science and especially my chosen area of climate science. As I expected now it is all exposed I find there is no pleasure in “I told you so.”                 Dr. Tim Ball          Bio of Dr. Ball

The global warming farce is being exposed and it isn’t pretty!
