Senator Debbie Stabenow says she can “feel” global warming when flying!

Leave a comment

Climate change is very real.  Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.

Detroit News interview, August 10, 2009, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) – appointed to the Senate Energy Committee

A few points:

1. Senator, if you are REALLY concerned, STOP FLYING.  Take the first step Senator!  Show us all that you are no hypocrite.

2. There has been no increase in number Hurricanes (see Hurricane.com).  Some scientists even argue that IF global warming were real, the number of hurricanes could drop.  Since 2004 the following 4 seasons have been quite mild.  And see what the NOAA said yesterday here: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20090811_tropical.html

3. 2009 has been a mild year for Tornados.  (See, e.g. http://www.examiner.com/x-219-Denver-Weather-Examiner~y2009m4d14-2009-tornado-season-deadly-but-below-average-thus-far).

4. Tens of thousands of scientists disagree about whether global warming is real (see http://www.petitionproject.org/ and see on the US Senate site, http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.SenateReport with more scientists doubting than who wrote the original UN report.).

The citizens of Michigan have elected a real WINNER in Senator Debbie Stabenow!  Talk about being out of touch with reality, “feeling” global warming from an airplane.

I “feel” that Senator Debbie Stabenow has a sub-room temperature (pre-Global Warming room temperature) IQ.  Senator Stabenow, if you are really representing Michigan, look at the number of jobs Cap and Trade (aka Cap and Tax) will cost your state.

Democrat Conyers says “Don’t read the bill”

Leave a comment

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers.

“What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

I guess, who cares what we’re voting on is Conyers philosophy.  What a disgrace to the United States Congress.

If the Senators and Representatives can not UNDERSTAND THE BILL, it plainly is a TERRIBLE THING.

Barack Obama is his heart is bigger than any heart in the world

Leave a comment

This man is extremely smart – he can communicate [with a teleprompter], but the best part of Barack Obama is his heart is bigger than any heart in the world. – Senator Harry Reid, May 26, 2009

Obama tries to demonstrated that his heart is bigger by spending the fruit of your lives.  It is easy to have a “bigger” heart when you are giving away other people’s money, and consequently the hours of their lives, without having to work for it.

After all the politicians in the South thought the slave owners had big hearts too – all funded on the backs of the slaves, and all “for a good cause, and fairness.”  Of course, if you ask “fair to whom” and “fair based on who’s judgment” the entire facade then fell apart.

Note that you never hear talk about how it is “fair” to let people work for themselves and keep the products of their own work.  In the modern political lexicon, keeping the fruit of your labors is “unfair” on its face.  When one side has the position of government control of your lives and the other has no principled opposition, it merely becomes a bargaining war over who can buy votes through government hand-outs and the side of big government can always do that.

I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life” – Judge Sonia Sotomayor, 2001

Yet another quality racist in the Obama Administration.  At least she is honest about her racism and sexism.  Not that that should be any comfort for people concerned with the rule of law from a potential Justice of the Supreme Court.  Sotomayor is completely and outrageously a sexist bigot.  One marvels at the audacity to nominate her to the United States Supreme Court.

We do not judge people on skin color, gender or anything else except legal issues.  Those are exactly what a judge should not use to decide a case, only what a sexist, racist, bigot would use.

court of appeals is where policy is made. Sonia Sotomayor

Leave a comment

A “court of appeals is where policy is made. .. And I know — I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don’t make law. I know. O.K. I know. I’m not promoting it. I’m not advocating it. I’m — you know.”  Judge Sonia Sotomayor, 2005

Displaying her well-known eloquence, and lack of respect for the law, Judge Sonia Sotomayor in 2005 discussing making policy from the bench.  I would urge Sotomayor to read the Constitution of the United States, the Federalist papers and the Anti-Federalist papers.  This is one person who needs to educate herself on the founding of this country.

Sotomayer is the antithesis of a judge or Justice. Compare her power-hungry philosophy with John Adams seeking to establish “a government of laws and not of men.”  Or since she is so cognizant of gender and race, a “government of laws and not of hispanic women.”

Obama White House snubs kindergarteners for NFL Players

Leave a comment
More than 100 kindergarteners were from Conway Elementary School in Stafford County, VA were snubbed by the White House.  They were “a little later than planned,”  and arrived at 10:25am “just 10 minutes late for their scheduled tour” instead of 10:15am.  The White House says they were supposed to be there at 9:30am and that they held the gates open until 10:30am.
(see http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Kindergarteners-Snubbed-for-Steelers.html)
Some notes:
1. It is good to see that the union teachers and the parents are lying about when they were supposed to be there.  They say 10:15am and the White House says 9:30am.  The White House could not possibly lie in order to save face.
2. It is also nice to see that the union teachers MUST be lying that they were there 10:25am when the White House says they weren’t there before 10:30am.
Lessons for the kids:
1. Get there early for something this important.  Do a dry run if you aren’t sure about the time it will take and then add extra to that.
2. It is acceptable to be late to most engagements if you are the President, but no one else can.  Do as I say, not as I do.  The Imperial Presidency.
The kindergarteners should be crying, but not because they didn’t get a tour of the White House. Cry about the things that matter: TRILLIONS IN DEBT.  Socialize Medicine. Loss of Liberty.

47 Million Uninsured? The numbers

Leave a comment

Looking at the raw numbers for the “47 million uninsured” number:

  • 18 million: Can afford it but have not purchased it
  • 8.4 million: 18-25 years old
  • 12.6 million: Illegal aliens
  • 9.4 million: between jobs and temporarily uninsured
  • 8 million: Kids covered, but parents haven’t signed them up
  • 3.5 million: eligible for government health programs, but not signed up.

There is some overlap between the figures so the total is nearly 60 million, but anyone who looks at the numbers can see that the 47 million figure is just meant to make the problem seem like something that it is not.

[Note that the numbers will obviously vary day-to-day and month-to-month, but the broad picture has been the same for years.]

President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change…hypocrisy shown by this administration.

Leave a comment

I am disappointed at the hypocrisy shown by this administration.  President Obama is coming to Las Vegas later this month for a political fundraiser, but he will not help the struggling families in Las Vegas and Nevada who are out of work because of his reckless comments [comments in early 2009 regarding Las Vegas business trips].  … [A]pparently our money is good enough for the President, but our tourism, jobs, and economic future are not. This is politics, pure and simple, President Obama stood for change, but all he has done is brought negative economic change to Nevada.   Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, May 18, 2009
