You learn something everyday. I did not know Baum wrote “Oz” as a spoof to expose the forces conspiring to gain control of the economy. I guess what applied then even more so applies today. This article by Dave Daubenmire should be food for thought.

Dave Daubenmire — Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Back to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum wrote this spoof on the late 1890’s attempt to reform America’s monetary policy. Even back then the “bankers” were attempting to take the American dollar off of the gold standard. Baum wrote “Oz” to expose the forces conspiring to gain control of the economy.

“Oz is short for ounce, the measure for gold and silver.

Dorothy, hailing from Kansas, represents the commoner.

The Tin Woodsman is the industrial worker, rusted solid as the factories shut down in the 1893 depression. The Scarecrow is the farmer who apparently doesn’t have the wit to understand his situation or his political interests. The Cowardly Lion is William Jennings Bryan; (Ron Paul) who had a loud roar but little political power as he fought the political powers of his day.

The Good Witches represent the magical potential of the people of the Midwest and the South (red states).

After vanquishing the Wicked Witch of the East (the Eastern bankers) Dorothy frees The Munchkins (the little people). With the witch’s silver slippers (the silver standard), (they change to ruby red in the movie) Dorothy sets out on the Yellow Brick Road (the gold standard) to the Emerald City (Washington), where they meet the Wizard (the President), who appears powerful, but is ultimately revealed as an illusion; the real Wizard being just a little man who pulls levers behind a curtain” (printing presses).

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…” We must once again come to the realization that WE hold all of the power. The Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion are us.

The Scarecrow was looking for a brain, all of the time convinced he needed “experts” to think for him. The Tin Man was looking for a heart, feeling he needed the “great and powerful Oz” to restore his broken spirit through government handouts. And the Cowardly Lion needed only the courage to fight.

Dr. Ted Baehr wrote a good movie review of Bill Maher’s new demented move called “Religulous”. What should anyone expect from Bill Maher. Anyone who has ever listened to Bill Maher ought to know that He is one demented demonic sick puppy who cannot help but let everyone know about it.

Why would anyone think a demented mind mocker like Maher could know anything about Christianity or religion? Bill Maher is a prime example of a demonic person full of their own self enlightenment. The only thing this move will prove is that some people will watch anything in the theaters these days. Of course Bill Maher richly deserves my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club award for his unique contribution to foolishness.

Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - Arrogant, Irrational Hypocrisy: Humanist Comedian Bill Maher’s New Movie Is Full of Falsehoods, Bigotry, Ignorance, and Hypocrisy

Arrogant, Irrational Hypocrisy: Humanist Comedian Bill Maher’s New Movie Is Full of Falsehoods, Bigotry, Ignorance, and Hypocrisy
By Dr. Ted Baehr, Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®, and Dr. Tom Snyder, Editor

“Religulous,” comedian Bill Maher’s new movie attacking Christianity and religion, is full of lies, half-truths, false assumptions, logical contradictions and fallacies, distortions, intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, arrogance, ignorance, and hypocrisy. Opening Oct. 3, the movie is a pathetic propaganda piece that will warp the hearts and minds of the gullible and the ignorant. It is also very poorly researched and argued.

At the end, Maher launches into a diatribe comparing all religious leaders and believers, including President George Bush, to evil and ignorant Muslim terrorists. After making that overbroad generalization, Maher angrily denounces people of faith for being too certain and too judgmental. He then tells them that it is actually more “humble” to acknowledge doubts and belief in God and religion, like he does.

It is telling that none of the Christians Maher talks to in “Religulous,” not even Father Coyne, actually makes their living as professional biblical scholars or history scholars, much less as professional Christian debaters. Thus, all the alleged evidence that Maher summons against Christianity and religious faith in his movie is about as empirically and logically one-sided and invalid as you can possible get!

Of course, at the same time Maher accuses his opponents of these nasty things, he is doing the same things that he just accused them of doing. Maher’s tirade is not only logically self-contradictory, and, hence, irrational, it is also hypocritical. Instead of pointing fingers at religious people, especially Christians, Maher needs to look at himself in the mirror!

Here is another view of the movie and some implications, by Ray Comfort

In spite of what you have been told the U.S. has the largest oil potential than any other known area in the world. We have enough oil in shale to last for hundreds of years. If we actually went all out to produce these resources we could be a oil exporter in a few decades. By the way, Shale oil can be recovered with present technology with little environmental impact and produce gasoline for less than $2 a gallon but since it is on federal land congress has put it off limits for energy development.

So frankly the energy shortage has more to do with politics than anything else. When you have two trillion barrels of oil in reserve and 1/4 of the coal deposits on earth you do not have a energy shortage unless certain people want you to have an energy shortage.

American Thinker: The Myth of No Oil

Predictions of nationwide oil supply exhaustion soon became regular occurrences, with seven made prior to 1950[2], even though the United States was the world’s largest crude oil producer until 1973. Indeed, through the mid-1980’s, most oil consumed in the country was of domestic origin. Today, however, the United States imports the majority of its oil and, due to environmental regulations, has not authorized the construction of new refineries since the mid-1970s.

Yet, our country does not lack adequate oil resources. Rather, supply estimate methodologies seriously undercount our true oil resources. This and our lack of political will to use advanced recovery technologies contribute to the myth of no oil. This myth hobbles our ability to draw on our own existing resources and keeps us in a dependent posture, looking to others to provide for us.

A potentially significant supply of oil is trapped in shale in the American West. Rocks in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming alone are believed to contain over 1,500 billion barrels of oil. Previous government experiments with shale oil production were labor and energy intensive and environmentally disruptive, producing little oil. But efforts by private companies have revolutionized the extraction technology with development of an in situ process of heating rocks, trapping oil and extracting it profitably at oil prices of just over $30 a barrel. Shell Oil, the leader in this new technology, estimates that it will be able to produce one million barrels of oil per acre.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that oil production from tar sands in Canada and South America would add an additional 600 billion barrels to the world’s supply.[5] Canada, which does not segregate conventional oil from tar sands, is currently the largest U.S. oil supplier with about half of Canadian crude derived from oil sands. This oil is forecast to reach 3 million barrels per day in 2015. The Economist[6] recently noted that there exist “174 billion barrels of proven reserves in the oil sands of Alberta” alone.

Another technology, coal liquefaction to produce oil, becomes competitive when the price of conventional oil is higher than $30 per barrel, according to U.S. Energy Department estimates. The coal-to-oil process produces natural gas and removes pollutants that are released when coal is burned to produce electricity. With the United States possessing 27% of the world’s coal supply, U.S. coal-to-oil production could be substantial. South Africa has been producing petrol and diesel from coal since 1955 and currently produces 40% of the country’s oil from this source.

I suppose you have heard about the trillion dollar bailout of bad debt and now hear the politicians on TV telling people that lack of government oversight and greed is to blame for the problem and how we now need bailouts and more federal government regulation to cure the problem.

Most of the same politicians talking today are the same politicians that supported the oversight conditions that created this crises in the first place. They were the ones who put the pressure on lending institutions to ease their rules so that just about any bad risk could get a loan.

They put great pressure on the mortgage lenders to establish easy lending programs for the poor and for  poor risks. But they are now passing the buck and saying the lenders were irresponsible and greedy. Sure, there was fraud and greed by the leaders but when you have government officials who are supposed to be in a position of oversight being the enablers of the greedy and making their practices the norm what should we expect?

It was government that eased the regulations on banks and brokers so that would not have to keep funds in reserve to weather a storm such as this and government allowed them to take those funds to the derivative casinos thanks to the policies of former Fed Chairman Greenspan.

These falsely optimistic idealistic liberals thought everything would just keep getting better and that there would be no more major downturns. These are the same people in government and business who never plan for recessions in their out year budgets. They live in some fantasyland or else they want to deceive the public that the out years will be better than any person living in reality could expect.

Some fools even thought we were post recessions because they thought the government now knew how to keep the economy expanding indefinitely. Ha ha. Nevertheless, we always had recessions and will again. These “financial wizards” are a good part of the reason why we always have budget deficits because they never plan for future economic downturns in their long term budgets. Most multinational corporations and local governments are doing the same thing and that is why when a down cycle comes they are in crises and need taxpayer bailouts.

Here are a couple of articles that explain some of what is going on.

The first article by David Limbaugh, talks about how the liberal politicians got us into the mess that we find ourselves in. They now think more of the same of the liberal big government polices will get us out of it. Ha ha.

The second article is by Pat Buchanan It gets into the stupidity of foolish and incompetent financiers and politicians. Pat gives some some history of past bailouts and our nation’s increasing debt burden in the future partly because of bailouts and partly because government and everyone else keeps spending more than they have.

The Democrats are so desperate that they will say anything to get their black savior into office. There is nothing sacred to these people except their self appointed black Messiah. Lets make the comparisons that they themselves brought up.

Obama was a Left wing radical who organized the community for his racial and political agendas. Jesus was the Creator and Savior of the world who only did what His Father told Him and He died on a cross to save all who would believe that God’s righteousness to save through His Son Jesus would save believers from going to eternal hell. Some comparison!

Pontius Pilot was a governor who delivered up Jesus to be crucified because he was a coward and would not stand up to the people for a man he knew was rightious. But Sarah Palin has the guts to tell people the truth that Jesus will soon come back in power and glory to deal with all those who would not have God’s Savior to rule over them. Some comparison!

My advise is much like Joe Farah in this article. Throw the bums out of office! The Beatles once compared themselves to Jesus Christ and that was the beginning of their fall. The same should happen here. Liberals lose national presidental elections not just because of there misguided programs and misguided moral positions, they lose because they expose themselves as self-righteous elitists and people in Backwater USA start to see that these people have a mighty high arrogant opinion of themselves.

I notice that Farah did not say to vote for McCain/Palin because he has been actively telling people not to vote for the lessor of two evils of McCain or Obama. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and realize that in this world we always choose the lessor of two evils in our world leaders. In this case the choice should be quite clear.

Cohen and Brazile deserve my Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club award. Congradulations!

Jesus was no ‘community organizer’

In case you missed it, Cohen said in a House floor speech Wednesday, “[I]f you want change, you want the Democratic Party. Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister prayed about; Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

Brazile also characterized Jesus as a “community organizer” several days ago.

Let me make one thing clear – as an actually believer in Jesus: “Jesus was not a “community organizer.” Jesus is the Son of God, the Lord of the universe, the savior of humanity.

Demeaning Jesus as a “community organizer” is an insult to every Christian believer in the world. But, more importantly, it is a reckless, blasphemous and profane attack on the Divine Person who sits at the right hand of God the Father.

I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of anyone who throws around such mischaracterizations of the Living God for political gain.

Further, the allusions to Barack Obama as being Christ-like are more than some of us can take. Jesus never justified the killing of unborn children and the intentional, deliberate murder of those who miraculously survived abortions, as Barack Obama has. Jesus never advocated indoctrinating kindergarten children with “comprehensive sex education,” even against the will of their parents, as has Barack Obama. Jesus never sat at the feet of an immoral, ungodly teacher like Jeremiah Wright.

it’s not enough to make Obama pay for this. It’s time to make the Democratic Party pay.

Every two years Americans have a chance, theoretically anyway, to elect 435 new members of the House of Representatives. We have that opportunity again Nov. 4. There is also a chance to turn over 35 Senate seats.

I know all about “safe” districts. I know all about gerrymandering. I know all about the obstacles to overcoming incumbency. But bigger odds have been overcome in American history. We’ve faced much tougher challenges. Stop whining about how it’s impossible to make a difference and get to work making a difference.

The Democratic Party obviously doesn’t believe in miracles. It believes only in “community organizing.” I do believe in miracles. If you agree with me, I suggest we pray fervently between now and Nov. 4 for God to remove all the unworthy officials from Congress this year – starting with Steve Cohen of Tennessee.

Pat Buchanan brings up a very good question that I have not thought about before. The Liberal and Black expectations are that America must elect Barack Obama. So what will they do if they actually lose the election? After thinking about it I think I can already tell you.

This is not a request by the Far Left, the Blacks and the immoral special interest groups. It is a demand that we elect Barack Obama. Should Obama lose the election they will be claiming racism and election fraud and burning the cities and looting because they were disrespected and the national media will justify their actions.

Understand, that this is not a presidential election it is a coronation of the choosen King of the Liberals, Blacks and all the immoral special interest groups who wants Obama to take change out of your pocket and morality out of your mind in order to bring in a demented socialist utopia of delusion.

The Far Left elite are playing the racist card in order to put into power all their immoral programs through their chosen elitist half black man counting on the fact that race sensitive America would not dare reject a black man. If the nation does not elect Obama on a close election they will say the election was unfair so let the white controlled party and nation be dammed. If the nation does not elect him and the vote is not close they will say let this white racist nation be damned. If the nation elects him and he brings in the wealth transfer and Far Left socialist agenda that Obama stands for, the nation will be damned. So we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t elect Barack Obama.

So what will happen is that should Obama lose you will see Far Left instigation of massive civil disobedience making it necessary for McCain to either appease the Far Left and bring in the same agendas or McCain will move toward a police state, or both. The outcome might be determined by the depth of the civil disobedience.

Make no mistake, white America and all those who oppose Barack Obama’s moral positions are now being held hostage and should we choose not be black mailed the instigated civil unrest might become the biggest issues in this nation. So this election is not all about change or Iraq. There is a hidden agenda coming from the Far left controlled media, secular humanists, radical environmentalists, race baiting black leaders and all the immoral special interest groups that are forcing their agenda and perversions on this nation. They think they cannot lose no matter how this falls out and they are probably right since the moral majority is now a moral minority.

And if Obama loses?

Questions arise. With this immense moral and emotional investment in a Barack victory – by 94 to 1 in one poll black America is behind him — what happens if the nation decides he is too radical, too inexperienced, too callow, too risky to be president?

What happens if the American people reject their marching orders and say no to Barack and black America? What happens if all the hopes and dreams, hype and hoopla, end in disillusionment?

Would the defeat of Barack Obama be taken as an affront to black America? Could we be in for a time of deepening racial division rather than healing? Could we be in for a long, hot autumn like the long, hot summers some of us recall from 40 years ago?

One black preacher here suggested as much to me.

No candidate has ever been nominated by a major party with fewer credentials or a weaker claim to the presidency, or more doubts as to his core beliefs. If Obama wins, the country could be in real trouble. And if he loses, the country could be in real trouble.

What the media celebrate today, they may rue tomorrow.

I have more than once said that this would happen. North Korea has been getting freebies from America for 15 years to stop their nuclear development and has done nothing but make nukes. You cannot deal with madmen. If you read this article you will see even after the 11 disablement measures are actually taken (they have been halted) it would only take North Korea only about a year to start the facilities up again (what a great deal!). Not to even mention the secret uranium project that North Korea has that is still making nuclear material that no one is talking about or the nuclear bombs it already has made for export. So the North Koreans found ways to backed out of all the deals and have make fools out of both the Clinton Administration and the Bush Administration. North Korea now hopes to take on what they know will even be a more foolish Obama Administration.

The U.S. State Department continues to be run by liberals and is in denial all over the world. They are just as loony with Iran. There is an old saying. Fool me once and shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me, fool me three times and I should get the Olympic gold metal for foolishness. Does anyone in our government know that North Korea has EMP capabilities? Does anyone care? And Rice thinks Russia will take anything we say on George or elsewhere seriously?

Maybe the world should reward the North Koreans with the Olympics and just pretend that they are such a wonderful free nation like they did with Communist China. I notice the North Koreans waited to after the Olympics to do this. Does anyone really think that was not coordinated with China? Sure, and China’s 14 year old woman gymnasts were 16 years old. You know one of these days this whole foolish appeasement thing is going to unravel worldwide and we are going to be in a world of hurt.

North Korea says it halts nuclear reactor disablement | International | Jerusalem Post

The North’s announcement marks the emergence of the biggest hurdle yet to the communist nation’s denuclearization process under a landmark deal last year and is expected to escalate tension in the nuclear talks involving China, Japan, the two Koreas, the US and Russia.

Pyongyang’s Foreign Ministry said it suspended the disablement work at the reactor and other facilities at its Yongbyon nuclear complex as of August 14 because the US did not keep its promise to delist Pyongyang as a terror sponsor under last year’s deal.

The ministry also said the country will “consider soon a step to restore” the Yongbyon nuclear facilities, but did not elaborate.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul’s University of North Korean Studies, called Tuesday’s statement “very serious” and said that it could mean Pyongyang may have decided not to deal with the administration of US President George W. Bush.

South Korean and US officials have said eight of the 11 disablement measures have been finished and that when the entire disablement is completed, it would take at least a year for the North to restart the facilities.

Windmills are ridiculous as a primary source of power for this nation. The article I quote will give you some reason why.

I will give you some others. I live near windmills and it almost caused a revolution where they are being built. They have ruined a once beautiful area and nobody want to live around them. Even in this excellent article many important points were not addressed. The killing of the birds was not addressed. Where will all the steel and copper come from to build the hundreds of thousands of windmills that would be need?

Do these people think windmills do not have environmental impact? They need to think again. They have to mine huge amount of Iron to make the steel. Where do they think the copper comes from for the generators and power lines? It has to be mined. You think copper prices are high now let them build hundreds of thousands of wind generators and see what happens. Also, does anyone think it does not take huge amounts of power to build the factories and to produce the steel to make all these windmills? Then they have to be shipped to a site by many vehicles that use energy and tare up the roads. The windmills have to be erected and anchored on a solid foundation. The trees have to be cut down meaning that these areas will no long produce lumber or be carbon negative. The windmills will have to be maintained by maintenance crews who ride major sized off road vehicles. The windmills only have a limited life span and they will have to be replaced when they fail. There will have to be major back up power for when the wind is not blowing etc etc.

So lets cut through the bull about windmills being the answer for America’s energy needs. They are not. The fat cat billionaires that proposes this stuff do not live in the real world they have no common or scientific sense. All they see is opportunities to make more billions at your expense.

Hot air about wind power

At www.scitizen.com, Kurt Cobb worked the numbers. Generously, he presumed the windmills would use 5-megawatt turbines – generating three times the output of a typical 1.5-megawatt turbine. He compared that with a 500-megawatt fossil-fuel (coal) power plant needed to power a city of 300,000 people. A typical power plant, he noted, would cover 300 acres, but use only 30 of those for the actual facility.

Cobb calculated it would take 233 5-megawatt wind turbines to equal the coal plant’s output, since the wind doesn’t blow constantly. Each would need to be spaced 2,065 feet away from the others (five times the diameter of their 413-foot rotors). Adding the rotor diameters to the spacing requirement equates to a 110-mile long line of windmills, half a mile in width.

It comes to 55 square miles. That’s to provide electricity for a town of 300,000 people.

Going back to Kurt Cobb’s calculations, if we wanted to meet the electric needs of 300 million Americans rather than only 300,000, we’d need a half-mile swath of windmills, each of them hundreds of feet high, 110,000 miles long, crisscrossing the continent 40 times between New York City and Los Angeles.

That’s a lot of land to condemn. The cost would be in the hundreds of billions of dollars, since each large windmill costs millions.

New York State’s largest windmill farm to date, the $400 million Maple Ridge project, features 195 medium-size (400-foot high) windmills, part of a windmill surge in upstate New York sparked by state and federal incentives. That project has generated great controversy even in its rural setting. According to area researcher Dr. Nina Pierpont, it has also created “wind turbine syndrome,” a variety of ills such as inner ear problems, headaches, difficulty sleeping, ringing in the ears, mood disorders, irritability, panic attacks and child misbehavior, all attributed to the low-frequency rumblings of the windmills.

There are practical problems, too. If the structures are put totally in the boondocks, massive new transmission lines must be built to carry the power to where the people are.

All this to generate power that is more expensive than our current power plants, even after major taxpayer subsidies are factored in.

Whether onshore or offshore, the gigantic areas involved to harness wind power will bring their own unintended consequences. The director of the Center for Global Change Science at M.I.T, Ron Prinn, warns that erecting enough windmills to replace fossil fuel power has adverse environmental impact. Prinn says those would “take significant momentum out of the atmosphere, so there’d be less penetration of wind to the ground surface.” Translation: You change the wind, and you change the weather.

Al Gore, why aren’t you speaking up about this?

In spite of the reports in the media about the great ice melt this year the Arctic ice melt was 30 percent less than the ice melt last year and Antarctica ice continues to increase. Some people just lie because it is in their interest to lie and to keep up the global warming hype. Anyone in Alaska will tell you that this summer was a very cold summer. It is amazing how some people want us to believe that a slight Pacific cooling is driving cooling over most of the Globe and that global warming is just taking a break for a couple of years. It is nonsense. Nobody knows what the long term climate will be because it has little to do with man made CO2.

Arctic ice refuses to melt as ordered | The Register

Just a few weeks ago, predictions of Arctic ice collapse were buzzing all over the internet. Some scientists were predicting that the “North Pole may be ice-free for first time this summer”. Others predicted that the entire “polar ice cap would disappear this summer”.

The Arctic melt season is nearly done for this year. The sun is now very low above the horizon and will set for the winter at the North Pole in five weeks. And none of these dire predictions have come to pass. Yet there is, however, something odd going on with the ice data.

The Arctic did not experience the meltdowns forecast by NSIDC and the Norwegian Polar Year Secretariat. It didn’t even come close. Additionally, some current graphs and press releases from NSIDC seem less than conservative. There appears to be a consistent pattern of overstatement related to Arctic ice loss.

And what of the Antarctic? Down south, ice extent is well ahead of the recent average. Why isn’t NSIDC making similarly high-profile press releases about the increase in Antarctic ice over the last 30 years?

Joseph Farah talks about number three on the Democratic nomination ticket. John Edwards was the “moral” candidate for president from the Democratic Party. During the campaign Edwards talked about being a devout Christian, a man full of deep compassion. Now Edwards gets exposed for what he is and he does a Bill Clinton impersonation on TV by spinning the affair as some short past moral weakness due to his sudden fame. However, everyone knows John Edwards is still lying through his teeth. John Edwards deserves the Demented Delusional or Dumb club of the week award.

Politicians at all levels lie to the public too often. If the press does not expose them there are no negative consequences to them. Has anyone ever considered a law that would make outright lying to the public a felony for those in public office and for those running for public office?

John Edwards brand of moral insanity

Is it any wonder he would sire another child or two to whom he has no moral obligations?

Is it any wonder he would leave his wife, suffering from Stage 4 breast cancer, and little children behind in North Carolina while sowing his wild oats in California?

No, it isn’t any wonder at all.

The only wonder is why he tries to hide it all.

But that is not really a wonder, is it?

Because John Edwards is a politician. He knows that to get what he really wants, namely power, he has to pretend to be something he is not. What he is not is a devoted husband, a caring and faithful father, a man of integrity.

No wonder John Edwards doesn’t have a problem with same-sex marriage – marriage doesn’t mean that much to John Edwards.

No wonder John Edwards wouldn’t mind if some perverted schoolteacher lectured his 7-year-old about homosexuality – his own kids don’t mean that much to John Edwards.

No wonder John Edwards believes it’s government’s job to meet the needs of children, the elderly, the jobless and less fortunate – because John Edwards has no concept of real compassion, not even for his own family.

Most people in California obviously want this or they would not be electing into office liberal “progressive” representatives that keep passing amoral laws like this. This bill passed by 2/3rds majority in both houses. Anyone who thinks the “progressive” governor Schwarzenegger will not sign this bill is delusional and Californians put him in office. So what can you do if you disagree with celebrating homosexuality in your schools? You can let your kids be brainwashed, put them in private schools, home school them, convert many in California to true Christianity or move to a state where the people are not so “progressively” perverted. I have come to the conclusion that those who think they can stop amoral agendas in California without converting a substantial number of voters to true Christianity are now simply delusional. After all Californian’s are electing the liberal “progressive” politicians that are legislating the homosexual agenda

Legislators tell school kids to celebrate homosexuality

Only a year after banning all negative messages about homosexuality in
public schools throughout the state, the California Legislature now is
ordering school children to celebrate “gay” lifestyle choices.

“If signed into law, AB 2567 will mean an official day commemorating
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality in California government
schools,” said Randy Thomasson, president of the Campaign for Children
and Families.

Thomasson said the passage by lawmakers of AB 2567 will require all California
public schools to “conduct suitable commemorative exercises” in honor
of the anti-religious, sexual-anarchy agenda of Harvey Milk, the late
San Francisco supervisor who was a homosexual activist.

The California Assembly approved the plan 43-26 and the Senate 22-13, with
both votes along party lines of Democrats supporting the homosexual
agenda.

The plan comes on the heels of last year’s school sexual indoctrination
laws, Thomasson said. “When fully implemented, SB 777 and AB 394 will
teach children in California government schools to support
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality via instructional
materials, programs and activities, and school ’safety’ guidelines,” he
said. “In addition, the California State School Board this year
implemented SB 71 requiring public schools that provide sex education
to promote unmarried sexual activity with no restraints other than
mutual consent.”

The CCF announcement noted some of Milk’s statements included a blanket
condemnation of religion, which he described as “true perversion;” a
mandate to “declare yourself gay or lesbian,” and promotion of same-sex
marriages, which were created by the California Supreme Court in May
but are being challenged in the November election.

“This bad bill will teach impressionable schoolchildren the anti-religious,
homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda of Harvey Milk,” said Thomasson.
“For the love of God, parents and their children, we implore Gov.
Schwarzenegger to veto AB 2567.”

The Islamics in Europe might now be putting a rope around their own neck. They are biting the hand that feeds them. Even dogs don’t do that if they want to live. There are places in Europe where even police fear to go. Foreign born Muslim immigrants now think they can bully the European natives to allow the creation of rebellious mini lawless welfare states on old Europe soil?

Sure maybe they can in France for a while and maybe they can in England for awhile and maybe they can in some other nations for awhile. But in Germany? I would not rile the Germans if I were you! If you do, I will guarantee that there will be a right wing backlash movement that will start in Germany and spread throughout Europe.

The whole scenario reminds me of a prophecy of an old christian mystic that saw all of Europe’s streets running with blood and full of dead bodies. She called it “the great chastisement” (not to be confused with the great tribulation). Muslims in Germany had better take heed. When people live in a foreign land they should try to get along with the natives. They may not endure you forever, especially the Germans.

First it was France, and now Germany.

German authorities are reporting that, within their cities, areas now exist where police fear to tread. In many German urban areas drug dealing, theft, brawls, and assaults on police officers are the order of the day. The problem is becoming so severe police scarcely dare enter some quarters except in strength, while in others they concentrate on their own safety first.

But this is old news to French law enforcement officials. The 2005 riots woke France up to the fact that an anti-civilization had arisen in the “banlieues” (housing projects), which surround major French cities. Populated mainly by immigrants from North and West Africa, many with a Muslim background, they are known as places of anger and aggression towards anyone who represents “official” France.

In Germany, the problem neighbourhoods are often located within the city and not on the outskirts. Like in France, though, urban anti-societies have arisen, but in Germany they consist mainly of Turkish and Arab immigrants, many from Lebanon. In their districts, German laws and values now have little, if any, validity, while their culture of lawlessness does.

Police complain that when they conduct routine checks in these neighbourhoods, they are met with angry crowds and often risk assault. Even when a policeman is carrying out a simple duty, like inspecting someone’s identification, out of nowhere suddenly appear 20 to 30 men, yelling wildly, who push and shove him. They assemble quickly after having been contacted by cell phone

The overall purpose of such disturbing behavior and anti-police incidents is to turn these immigrant neighbourhoods into lawless mini-states, where their tribal and religious customs and rules predominate, and criminals can act freely. In scuffles and confrontations German police are often told, in threat and obscenity-filled language, to go away and that these streets belong to the ethnic group that lives there.

As everyone knows, a competent and effective police force is necessary to protect the law-abiding citizen, guarantee his rights and carry out one of the main functions of the state: law and order. But increasingly in some European urban areas, a police uniform has come to mean nothing. And countries like Germany do not act now to reverse this, their cities will become as burnt out and eviscerated as the carcasses of cars France knows only too well.

Mrs Speaker I thought saving the planet is Al Gore’s job. Your job is be Speaker of the House. We are now reaping the consequences of your inability to even do a fair job at being the Speaker. Let the person with the qualifications save the planet. There is only one person that can save the planet and no, its not Al Gore either. Have they taught you nothing in that church you claim to attend?

Instead of saving the planet how about doing something to lower the oil prices before we have a complete economic collapse. No, the answer is not to open the strategic oil reserves and make ourselves vulnerable to Iran. The answer is to open up all the areas that you and your democratic congress have put off limits for drilling.

Pelosi: ‘I’m trying to save the planet’ - David Rogers - Politico.com

With fewer than 20 legislative days before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1, the entire appropriations process has largely ground to a halt because of the ham-handed fighting that followed Republican attempts to lift the moratorium on offshore oil and gas exploration. And after promising fairness and open debate, Pelosi has resorted to hard-nosed parliamentary devices that effectively bar any chance for Republicans to offer policy alternatives.

“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” she says impatiently when questioned. “I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.”

“I respect the office that I hold,” she says. “And when you win the election, you win the majority, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I am not giving the gavel away to anyone.”

Let’s face it, Washington: This speaker is different. She’s the first woman ever to hold the post and a very tough one at that, with a penchant for the mystical.

Frankly T. Boone Pickens not only stands to make a lot of money on government subsidies for windmills he is flat out wrong on many counts. Oil will not hit $300 a barrel it is more likely to be $50 a barrel in inflation adjusted dollars for centuries to come if congress just allows oil drilling where we know there is oil. All we need is for liberal government and the environmental fascists to get out of the way and stop blocking the development of our oil and coal resources. If oil drilling was treated as the national emergency that it is we will solve the problem within a few years. We have the equivalent of trillions of barrels of oil in the US in oil shale, oil sands and coal. We have enough oil for many centuries, that will take care our our long term problem. We also have enough oil offshore that can be brought on line in a one to five years that will take care much of our short term problem.

It will not take ten years like the democrats claim unless government and the environmental fascists make it take ten years with their bureaucracy and lawsuits. We need to treat this like the homeland security issue it is and cut the red tape.

Pickens thinks we can free up natural gas with windmills and use the gas to power vehicles but even the gas people disagree with that. If we really wanted to free up natural gas we already have a much cheaper way of doing that. We would just have to build many more coal plants but God forbid that we dump any more helpful CO2 into the atmosphere and help the plants grow.

As I have said before, windmills have to be backed up by conventional power sources because when the wind is not blowing or it us blowing too hard as it often does in the Midwest windmills do not work. Solar does not work at night and there never will be any way to store power for periods of shortfall. So unless everyone stops using electricity when the wind stops blowing or is blowing too hard or after the sun sets this is not the answer.

Besides that, it will be an environmental disaster. Do these people have any clue what a eye sore blight this will be. 150 foot steel windmills will stretch from horizon to horizon along with their power distribution system that will make current electric lines look pleasing. It will decimate the bird populations. Do you think that giant solar farms will not have an environmental impact? What impact will they have on the animals that occupy that habitat? I will bet you will not take your family to have a picnic there. If you don’t believe me about windmills come to Western New York when they have put up these windmills farms and have ruined once very scenic ridge tops. People cannot sell their property because no one want to live near the windmills. Some people cannot tolerate the low noise that the windmills make day and night. The windmills will decimate the bird populations and they cannot produce electricity at anywhere near current rates. The costs of windmills are paid by taxpayers, robbing Peter to pay Paul, or higher electric rates.

Also notice that T. Boone Pickens proposes that they take property away by using eminent domain claims anywhere where they want to build their alternative energy boondoggles. Well folks, that is fascism and I and many others do not care if the courts say government can do that. This is contrary to the Constitution of the U.S. and people in the Midwest are not going to put up with it. Try to enforce your eminent domain land seizures in some part of the Midwest and you had better bring your own private army (I doubt if our national Army will support you). If You want a revolution in this nation Pickens is proposing a good way to polarize people to bring that about.

Now I want to know why congress is listening to a 80 year old multimillionaire who has vested interests in windmills? Obviously many people have many different ideas about how to solve this problem but they are not appearing before congress, so why only listen to this wacky old man who stands to make a lot of money on windmills? Could it be that he is telling Democrats what they already want to hear?

Here is another view of T. Boone Pickens and his windmilling of America that confirms some of what I said and other view from a different angle.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Oil prices will hit $300 a barrel in 10 years if the United States fails to reduce its dependence on foreign imports, billionaire oil investor T. Boone Pickens told U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday

Pickens has been touring the country pushing a plan under which domestic natural gas supplies would be used to power cars instead of electrical power plants. The federal government and private investors would build a massive wind farm system in the middle of the country from Mexico to Canada to provide electricity.

Pickens, who heads the hedge fund BP Capital, stands to benefit from such a program. He’s building a 4,000 megawatt, $10 billion wind farm in northern Texas that should start generating power in 2011.

industry group the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has said the Pickens plan could work if the government renews the production tax credit for renewable energy, preferably for longer than a year or two.

“I think we’re talking eminent domain,” Pickens told reporters after the hearing, referring to the practice in which the government sometimes seizes private property with monetary compensation. He said bringing the power to the coasts would take an effort similar to former president Dwight Eisenhower’s building of the national highway system during the Cold War.

Well I am glad that someone is noticing the insanity of it all. If politicians actually try to cut CO2 by 50 percent there will be a world revolution. It is easy to make promises about forty years down the line because none of these people will be alive. Why would you believe a politician about what their country will do in forty years when their politicians do not even meet commitments of today. Seems everything the G 8 does is just for show including the photos. The Brits will be the first to revolt because thanks to government stupidity they will run short of electricity in just a few years unless they go into national decline which is more than likely.

Our leaders are in carbon-cloud cuckoo land - Telegraph

For a perfect example of what is meant by “gesture politics” - an empty pledge given solely for effect, which the politician has no hope of honouring - one could not do better than this week’s commitment by the G8 leaders on how they want us to fight climate change.

Sitting on their cloud-wreathed Japanese mountain top, they solemnly agreed that, to halt global warming, their countries would aim by 2050 to halve their emissions of carbon dioxide.

If the G8’s leaders genuinely wanted to cut carbon emissions by 50 per cent over the next 40 years, this would mean taking steps they haven’t even begun to contemplate. It would require such a drastic cut in our energy use and standard of living that their peoples would have risen up in mass revolt long before the target was reached.

Forget the nonsense about a 50 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2050. Our Government has already committed Britain to go even further, by imposing a statutory cut of 60 per cent through its Climate Change Bill.

But long before that, unless those who rule us come down out of cloud cuckoo land very fast, our lights will go out, our computers will shut down, our economy will judder to a halt and we shall face a national catastrophe. We may well be meeting that 60 per cent target sooner than we think - but not for reasons that reflect well on our politicians, of any party.

Let me clarify something said in the first paragraph that is not correct. For Catholics it is not a wafer “representing” the body of Christ for Catholics it is the “Body of Christ” having said that read what the Catholic League president said.

He said the student took the Body of Christ hostage. If your going to claim a wafer is the Body of Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ can be taken hostage you are wackier than the student.

I think you also may like to read a follow-up article on a professor’s response to this.

Death threats for stealing ‘Body of Christ’

A student at the University of Central Florida says he’s now getting death threats after he stole and later returned a wafer representing the “Body of Christ” from a Catholic Mass in Orlando.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on the case, stating:

“For a student to disrupt Mass by taking the Body of Christ hostage – regardless of the alleged nature of his grievance – is beyond hate speech. That is why the UCF administration needs to act swiftly and decisively in seeing that justice is done. All options should be on the table, including expulsion.”

This is a story about what is going on in North Korea. They actually put children in concentration camps because their ancestors did something. North Korea is a prison state run by a mad cult leader and his mad henchmen.The lunacy is that there are those in the U.S. government who actually think they should trust this madman.

FrontPage Magazine

the world outside these concentration camps is not dramatically better than the world inside them. North Korea is a prison state. Its population is subjected to the twisted universe of Kim Jong Il. The “Dear Leader” indoctrinates his population to believe that their country is a paradise and that he is, at various times, “the God of the Contemporary World,” “the Saint of all Saints” and a deity whose “love and trust in the popular masses are so absolute as to have no condition whatsoever and so broad as to have no limit.”

A famine in the mid-1990s brought about by idiotic management of the North Korean economy may have killed as many as 3 million people, or about 15 percent of the North Korean population. As Jasper Becker writes in his book Rouge Regime, “a death toll of 3 million would mean more victims than in Pol Pot’s Cambodia . . . if 15 percent of [North Korea's] population died, then the death toll, in proportion to the country, surpasses any comparable disaster in the 20th Century.”

Former Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky has written that “the international community should never trust a state more than it trusts its own people.” If this is a proper standard, then one should not expect any good to come from our current “breakthrough” with Kim Jong Il’s hellish regime.

Anyone can look at Harry Reid and tell you that he is one sick old dog. Also, everything that comes out of his mouth is demented, delusional or outright lies… he is the Mad Hatter. I guess that is how you hold on to power these days in the democrat controlled Senate. Looking at the shape of the economy in Southern Nevada I think Reid is doing all he can to bring the whole country down with Nevada in order to take the heat off himself on the home front for the impending Las Vegas depression. What is ruining our nation is  elite socialist big government control freak politicians like Harry Reid.

The madness of Harry Reid

One can dismiss the ravings of a local elected official, but not the nearly identical outburst this week from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

The good senator opined that “coal is making us sick, oil is making us sick – we’re ruining our country, we’re ruining the planet.”

All the labor-saving devices of the Industrial Revolution, all the wonders of its successor in innovation, the Technological Revolution, all the marvels of the last century in transportation, communication, medicine and entertainment – all made possible by the increasingly creative use of oil, coal, and natural gas. All of it swept aside as “ruining the planet.”

Sen. Reid: Your statement is a monstrous lie, and what’s worse, a reflection of a growing madness in the American political ruling class.

But first, Sen. Reid, stop the madness. If you really believe (with my county supervisor) that we must stop using all coal, natural gas and oil, then you have become the Mad Hatter of American politics. Please step aside for new leadership capable of rational thought and bipartisan problem solving.

I guess you heard the reports that there would be a record ice melt at the North Pole this year and how bad things are getting at the poles. Don’t believe everything you read or see on the global warming bought and paid for media. The latest reports came from someones delusions.

Chicken Little and the North Pole Icecap - HUMAN EVENTS

Here’s the deal, folks: the planet as a whole is cooling and is projected to do for decades. The Antarctic has 1 million square kilometers more ice than a year ago when it set an ice record. It is warming at one pole, the one up north, which is not greenhouse warming, which would be a warming at both. Yet the northern hemisphere has 1 million square kilometers more ice than it did last year at this time. World sea ice is at or near a modern high, despite modern measurements beginning in the coldest decade of the past century. You can look these things up. It’s called climate. Which changes. Always.

Global warming has been discredited but the lies go on and on like the energizer bunny. Someone should tap the source of the energy in all the global warming gas bags and we would solve the energy crises.

By the way, coal prices are falling because Europe is cutting back on coal because of their fear of CO2 emissions. If we had any brains we would now use this opportunity to convert coal into oil. Not that America is going to stop worshiping their own global warming gas bags anytime soon.

The real reason people want to believe that global warming is man caused is that they know they are guilty of defiling the planet but like all pagans they think they can fix spiritual defilement with some physical appeasement. They think they can just go to high priest Al Gore, buy indulgences from Carbon Gaia and Gore will give them absolution to continue to spiritually defile the planet.

Global View - WSJ.com

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it’s time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in.

This last item is, of course, a forecast, not an empirical observation. But it raises a useful question: If even slight global cooling remains evidence of global warming, what isn’t evidence of global warming? What we have here is a nonfalsifiable hypothesis, logically indistinguishable from claims for the existence of God. This doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist, or that global warming isn’t happening. It does mean it isn’t science.

So let’s stop fussing about the interpretation of ice core samples from the South Pole and temperature readings in the troposphere. The real place where discussions of global warming belong is in the realm of belief, and particularly the motives for belief.
