rocket men

About a week ago President Obama got a bunch of world leaders together for his Nuclear Security Summit. It took all of them coming together to figure out that nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists is dangerous and needs to be avoided. Obama was quoted saying "Today, we are declaring that nuclear terrorism is one of the most challenging threats to international security."

Gee thanks. I'm glad you figured all that out for everyone.

I know they where supposed to be coming up with a way to combat nuclear proliferation but the question remains whether or not this administration is really serious about doing what needs to be done to really prevent it. So far their actions have not been conducive to national security.

puppets

At least it was a liberal judge that stepped down and not one of the conservatives. That way there won't be a whole lot of change in the makeup of the supreme court. But you know that Obama is going to try to get some radical leftist appointed again that will follow along with all of his socialist policies.

Tom Coburn, the Republican Senator from Oklahoma said that Nancy Pelosi is a "nice lady" the other day. That may or may not be the truth but we need to start looking at what the outcome of our politicians intensions will bring. Just because someone has good intentions or wants to do good doesn't mean that will be the outcome of their actions. C. S. Lewis said it best:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So maybe she would be nice if I ever met her, but that doesn't change the fact that she is destroying this county and it's founding principles with her legislation.

libetry

Well I know I haven't posted in a while and it's not lack of material that's for sure. I have just been very busy. I think this one is pretty self explanatory. Our liberties are getting destroyed by this government and this "healthcare reform" is a serious blow to the republic.

special interests

I read a pretty funny story today about the appearance of Michelle Obama in an ad for PETA. Reports from the white house indicate that the president and the first lady are not happy with here likeness being used. PETA felt that Michelle Obama's stance on not wearing fur justified using her picture for the ad. But statements from the white house say that PETA did not have their consent because the first lady shouldn't be seen supporting a special interest group. (WHAT!?) Obama has built his entire career (not that most politicians don't) on special interest groups. He has been trading favors with lobbyists and special interests since his days in Illinois. And nothing has changed. And he is still doing favors for these groups. Most notably workers unions like the UAW and teacher unions and the ethanol industry.

I do agree with the fact that the president, or his wife, shouldn't support special interest groups. In fact I don't think it should be allowed any politician to support special interest groups. But the fact of the matter is that it does happen right now and it is most definitely done by this president.

snow storm

I know I have been stuck on global warming but it's just gotten out of hand. We now have evidence that temperature numbers have been getting fudged. Not to mention the fact that the science behind anthropomorphic global warming never made sense. But they [the EPA, left wing politicians, special interest groups] are still pushing this ridiculous claim, now harder than ever.

Now we have the weather to give more proof that there is no man-made global warming. We are in a ten year cooling trend and we are experiencing some of the coldest winters on record. But I'm sure that won't deter the enviro-statists.

stuck

I read in the news today that one of the mars rovers is stuck in the sand and they don't think that they will be able to get it out. The story made me think about the current situation in this country. Politicians are selling out our liberty for their agendas or to keep their jobs as politicians. Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska was bought out for the health care bill. He didn't like it, but because other democrats in the senate cut deals with him, in the bill, to send billions of dollars to his state, he is going to vote for it anyway. Politics are killing our liberties.

security breach

It's sad that we have a government, who's primary purpose is to provide security and liberty for it's citizens, that cares more for taking away our liberties with over taxation and social programs that put more and more power in the hands of centralized government. This administration is worried so much about other things that it has let security slip through the cracks. And to show it's ineptitude on the subject Janet Napolitano, our secretary of homeland security, comes out and says that the "system" put in place to stop terrorists "works." She says this after a terrorist, who is on the watch list, gets on a plane with a one-way ticket he paid cash for, no luggage and no passport with a bomb strapped to himself. And this comes after an uninvited couple sneaks into the white house for a party just one month prior. We have been very lucky that it wasn't worse. The only reason that plane didn't explode is because the terrorist didn't detonate the bomb properly. And I'm sure white house security is better now, but what if it wasn't someone that just wanted to crash a party for a good time that snuck into the white house instead of a terrorist.

We have been very fortunate that something terrible hasn't happened. No thanks to this administration and the programs that have been put in place.

climate math

this was published in the appeal democrat

It's very funny how, once the 'climategate' emails came out, the mainstream media didn't hardly report on them until all the environmental extremists, like Al Gore, got a chance to up the ante. The enviro-statists realized that people where starting to question the awful science that goes into the anthropomorphic global warming myth and decided that they needed to bring out the big guns. First the EPA announces that green house gasses such as CO2 are poisonous to humans (they must have forgotten the fact that most life on this planet depends on CO2 to survive) then Al Gore, using some off the wall calculations and misquoting a climate scientists claims, says that the polar ice caps will be gone within five to seven years. this is sensationalism beyond the like we have ever seen and these people are willing to bankrupt this county, and the rest of the world, over an elaborate lie.
