Not to be outdone by Oregon, California not only has physician assisted suicide they now have nurse-assisted suicide and apparently these physician assistants and nurses without sufficient diagnoses training can decide when you are terminal and pressure depressed people to be drugged into unconsciousness where they will be denied basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water and die.

Just when you think California can not get any more demented they always prove you wrong. This is just another small step in the elitist world socialist fascist program to eliminate the useless eaters. The bottom-line is always the reason for these things. The California government does not want to pay for their medical care. When you get state controlled socialized medicine, bureaucratic aids will be deciding who lives and who dies just like in Great Great Britain today. This is just another move toward that end.

California approves nurse-assisted suicide

SACRAMENTO – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially approved an assisted suicide measure allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and starve depressed or confused individuals they consider to be “terminally ill.”

“AB 2747 pushes suicide through the back door at the hands of non-physicians taking advantage of depressed patients,” he said in a statement. “AB 2747 cheapens the value of human life by endorsing suicide as an option.”

The measure allows physician assistants and nurses to decide whether a person is “terminally ill” and deprive them of basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water.

“Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged unconscious and die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days,” Thomasson said. “Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror.”

Thomasson said Berg “deceptively changed” the bill to appear that “voluntarily stopping of eating and drinking” and “palliative sedation” no longer were on a list of “symptom management” options.

“The bill does not otherwise attempt to expressly define terminal illness that each of these health care professionals would have to diagnose to trigger the offer of counseling end of life option,” Tran said. “It is not clear why nurse practitioners and physician assistants could make such a significant diagnosis. It is further not clear from the bill how making such significant diagnoses on a case-by-case basis can be done by such practitioners and assistants based on so-called ’standardized procedures and protocols’ not further defined by the bill. The potential effect of AB 2747 is extremely broad and could cause irrevocable harm.”

He said the legislation was sponsored by a group called Compassion and Choices, which formerly was known as the Hemlock Society and has advocated for physician-assisted suicide legislation in the past. A founder of the group has praised Dr. Jack Kevorkian for helping more than 100 people die.

Dozens of individuals and groups representing cancer patients, minority rights groups, members of religious communities and hospitals spoke before the Senate Health Committee in opposition to the idea. Also, numerous hospitals and other organizations opposed the measure, includeing California Disability Alliance, California Family Council, California Nurses for Ethical Standards, Mercy San Juan Medical Center, Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

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.”

You really might want to read this piece of reality if you are planning to buy or sell property in California. I think these ten reasons not only apply to California they apply to the big cities in Nevada, Florida and Arizona and some other Bubble areas as well.

This is not for the faint of heart. It implies much more than just a housing downturn. The losses on real estate and all connected with real estate including the taxpayer (government bail outs) are going to be much worse then most anyone is saying.

You will have to click on the link below to find the 10 detailed and well thought out reasons why real estate has years to go before any recovery is possible and why things are going to get worse before they get better in these bubble areas.

10 Reasons Why California is Years Away from a Housing Bottom: Rebuttal to Those Calling for a Bottom for California Housing. » Dr. Housing Bubble Blog

Housing in California is years away from a bottom. Let me make that clear and if you have any doubts, after reading this essay you will have a better understanding as to how I arrived at that conclusion. This article is longer since it will try to answer many of the arguments from those calling for a real estate bottom here in California. After looking at multiple sources of information like income, demographics, sales, psychology, and the economy there is no logical evidence for a housing bottom in California. It is well worth the read and certainly provides more information than a 1 minute sound bite. Recently I have noticed a resurgence of bottom talk coming from professionals in the field but also through e-mail questions.

My assessment is this renewed energy has come from two primary culprits. The first is of course the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 that provides $300 billion in loan refinances and also bails out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In addition, there are many provisions in the bill to juice the market all of which will have very little impact on California. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announce earnings this week and the news isn’t going to be good. Freddie Mac lost $821 million in the second quarter and announced that they will be slashing their dividend from 25 cents to 5 cents to conserve capital. This wouldn’t be such a big deal except the U.S. taxpayer is now on the hook and a loss for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac leads us one step closer to a bailout.

The second reason for the upsurge in bottom talk at least for California is the massive price drop we’ve seen this past year. A drop in the median sales price statewide by 38.38% is bound to get the attention of anyone. Yet simply because prices have fallen steeply in one year does not signal that now is a good time to buy. In fact, I will give you 10 solid reasons in this article why we are years away from any bottom in California.

If you are serious about correcting negative cash flow situations, you really have to create a budget that takes into account how much money is coming in and going out. In the case of our country, it has gone into debt counseling, was told to cut up the credit cards but is refusing to do so and is actually applying for more credit cards!

What you will not hear from bottom talkers is any mention of incomes from the vast majority of people. Sure they will use random examples of those in Bel Air, Brentwood, Laguna Beach, or Newport Coast but that is a tiny fraction of the population. They cannot use income as a measure of support because it will demolish their bottom theory. Let us now move on to the 10 reasons why California is years away from a housing bottom

I have said it before and I will say it again San Francisco is a doomed city its debauchery has reached to high heaven and the angels are just awaiting their orders. It is not a matter of if a judgment is coming to San Francisco anymore it is just a matter of when it is coming and how it will come. I do not know if it will be a nuclear attack, a major earthquake and fire, a asteroid strike or something just as bad but it is coming sooner then you might think. Lot had better get out of town because you have proven that you cannot change the course of events in that city and you have been warned enough to leave. Soon that wicked city will join Sodom and Gomorrah and will be no more.

San Francisco fest features public sex with no arrests

San Francisco fest features public sex with no arrests
‘This is what the gay agenda is all about’

Police officer on the streets, but apparently told not to enforce publicly nudity or indecency rules, during the recent “Up Your Alley” homosexual festival

Nude men engaged in multiple instances of public sex on a municipal street while police officers, on foot and bicycle, congregated nearby making no attempt to enforce public indecency regulations, according to a report on the latest homosexual-fest in San Francisco.

The behavior was documented in photographs of an event called “Up Your Alley,” which is sponsored by the same group that organizes the city’s fall “gay”-fest, the Folsom Street Fair, on which WND has reported.

LaBarbera, who had to edit photos to conceal full nudity in images from the public street festival before he could post them as part of his report, said there were exhibitionists who “walked around baring their genitals, with no fear of being arrested.” Other websites, to which WND is unable to link because of their graphic content, published fully explicit photographs of various public acts of sex and nudity. They featured explicit photographs of oral and anal sex between men and men urinating on each other, among other activities.

The Americans for Truth report follows the July 27 event, “one of the city’s two open-air celebrations of sadomasochism (euphemistically called the ‘leather’ lifestyle by practitioners),” AFT said. “It is telling to us that the same city whose mayor, Gavin Newsom (D), ignited the ’same-sex marriage’ crusade in California by illegally issuing ‘gay marriage’ licenses – openly tolerates and celebrates gross perversions, nudity and sexual lawlessness on its streets.”

A photograph revealing two men dressed in women’s clothing, along with a man in the background being whipped, as part of San Francisco’s “Up Your Alley” homosexual festival

The images captured in the photos were described by one WND reader as “vomit-inducing.”

“This is what the gay agenda is all about,” the reader said. “I’ll go even further and call [the images] depraved and disgusting.

“Remember, this is on the public streets of San Francisco,” the reader said.

“One San Francisco policeman told our volunteers that the police were instructed not to make arrests for indecency on the city streets at “Up Your Alley” – but merely to ‘contain’ the activity to the street fair, which encompassed several city blocks,” Americans for Truth reported.

“San Francisco’s extreme political correctness has turned cops into impotent Perversion Protectors,” the group said.

The organization said the events included whippings, public sex between men, and even advocacy for slavery, with one man wearing nothing but cuffs and chains.

“Homosexual activists mock and deride Americans For Truth relentlessly for exposing sordid realities like ‘Up Your Alley’ – and showing you what happens when sexual radicals come to dominate a major city,” LaBarbera said.

“They don’t want Americans to see this side of their agenda … But we must face reality and come to grips with the truth that ‘rights’ based on aberrant sex are not genuine civil rights,” he said.

“Like the pantless perverts wandering around in sneakers-only at ‘Up Your Alley,’ the liberals’ pro-homosexual ‘tolerance and diversity’ program is now fully exposed as a soulless and bankrupt ideology,” LaBarbera said. “According to its precepts, nothing can be judged as wrong (sexually-speaking) – except, of course, normal, historic Judeo-Christian mores.”

It will be interesting to see how the liberal socialists will get by the First Amendment to the U.S constitution when they pass their hate speech laws that they are all but certain to pass under the next administration.

Ultimately the hate speech laws will be tested and decided by the Supreme Court on its constitutionality. The court by this point will be Liberal. The judges will then just redefine the Bill of Rights in the Constitution to what they want it to say rather than what it clearly says. Its already happened in the Supreme Court of California.

Once the Constitution can be redefined by a few people in black robes it will have lost its meaning and will be subverted. Then we will see tyranny right here in the good old U.S.A.

After those laws are passed and upheld you can be certain that the special interest groups will be monitoring everything that is said anywhere and turning anything that hurts their feelings over to the thought police for enforcement and punishment.

Then it will be time for the oppressed to overthrow this government tyranny or start a new free union of states that abides by the Constitution of the U.S.

As everyone who ever served in the military, government and police forces knows, you have already sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. We can read for ourselves what the Bill of Rights says and no redefining of the Bill of Rights is going to change the self-evident truths of the wording within those bills passed by U.S. constitutional amendment.

If the liberal progressives want to do away with our rights they need to do it by passing a constitutional amendment to do that but they know it will never pass. So, the domestic enemies of our system will try legislating unconstitutional laws and then stacking the justice system with like minded people.

If you swore to uphold the Constitution uphold it! Do not allow any MCcainiac or Obamanation government give us tyrants and thought police that will redefine the self-evident truths of the U.S. Constitution and its government of the people, by the people, and for the people!

Christian Worldview Network – Brannon Howse – Free Speech???

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” – The First Amendment

Perhaps the most important basis for a free society is the right of free political and religious speech. In every totalitarian society there is an oppression of these two foundations of freedom. Why? The answer is simple. Those in power who have a tyrannical motivation are afraid the masses may be swayed by ideas that are contrary to their indoctrination. Thus any opposing ideas become the weapon of freedom that must be stopped. The basic understanding of the power of free speech was recognized by our founding fathers as a deterrent to tyrannical government.

Due to this relativistic thinking problem the society is bending concerning these rights. That is a fact that should scare anyone who holds “these truths to be self evident.” The abridging of free religious and political speech is an affront against the liberty of all. Why is it a problem for all? It is a problem for all because once the freedom is gone it is gone for everyone. When a system turns to tyranny, all people are caught in its grip and become part of the totalitarian system.

Due to the insanity of the left, liberals, homosexual activists, and rabid race baiters, it has now become more acceptable to limit the freedom of political and religious speech. The idea that the government should have the right to punish people simply based on their thoughts and ideas is a complete abandonment of the Constitutional principles this nation was founded on.

Those who want the so called “hate speech” legislation are directly attacking one of the most sacred freedoms we have. The truth is that you have a right to hate me but you do not have a right to act out on that hate in any way that violates my person, property, or rights. You see, we must not legislate thoughts or we are destined to have all free thoughts at risk.

Those of you who are reading this who believe in “hate speech legislation” need to rethink your position. Who gets to decide what “hate” is? Do you want the government running around punishing people for what they say and think? What happens when someone decides that your speech is hateful? Are you ready for them to limit your thinking and expression? In order for freedom to work, there must be the right to speak unpopular positions without threats and intimidation from the government.

The first amendment of the Constitution says “Congress shall make no law.” How is it that Congress is attempting to make a law limiting the speech of Americans? How is it that so many people seem to think that this is a good idea? Why is there no outrage from the masses about this blatant attack on our foundational liberties? Why? Because most people have no idea what the Constitution says or why it says it. Most Americans have been dumbed down to the point where they simply do not grasp the principles of liberty that America was founded on.

It is clear what is really going on in the push for “hate speech” legislation. The left wants to stop preachers from preaching against homosexuality. There is also a Gestapo like insanity against anyone who would dare to criticize a racial minority. If for example a person is speaking out against affirmative action racial preferences, who’s to say that is not hateful? If my speech offends you, that is the price of freedom. If you do not wish to pay that price, I suggest you move to one of the many totalitarian states where your every word and movement are controlled.

Since Americans depend on government more each day the war against our liberty has begun. Some of us are fighting against the powers of tyranny. I hope you join us in the fight for the heart and soul of our country before the powers of socialism and liberal social decay completely overtake us. Wake up and smell the truth. The time to fight is now!

San Francisco is a city in open rebellion against God. They say the Catholic Church is hateful, defamatory, insensitive and ignorant but those terms actually applies to the city and county board and those who elect them. Any look at health records would prove that those who practice homosexual perversion have brought increased disease and death. This is what the Bible said would happen and it is also why God forbids the practice.

We have freedom of speech in this country but apparently not in San Francisco. Assemblyman Mark Leno told those who express their views on Homosexuality to get out of San Francisco. There is no question in my mind that San Francisco will receive due judgment from God sooner rather than later for its rebellion.

It is also obvious that there is a demented segment of our society that intends to make Christian religious expression and certain passages of the Bible hate speech in this nation. If the make up of the U.S. Senate becomes more Liberal these laws will pass and these laws will be signed by the next President.

Major U.S. city officially condemns Catholic Church

A San Francisco city and county board resolution that officially labeled the Catholic church’s moral teachings on homosexuality as “insulting to all San Franciscans,” “hateful,” “defamatory,” “insensitive” and “ignorant” will be challenged tomorrow in court for violating the Constitution’s prohibition of government hostility toward religion.

Resolution 168-08, passed unanimously by the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors two years ago, also accused the Vatican of being a “foreign country” meddling with and attempting to “negatively influence (San Francisco’s) existing and established customs.”

It said of the church’s teaching on homosexuality, “Such hateful and discriminatory rhetoric is both insulting and callous, and shows a level of insensitivity and ignorance which has seldom been encountered by this Board of Supervisors.”

Thomas More attorney Robert Muise will present oral arguments in the case tomorrow morning in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. “Our Constitution plainly forbids hostility toward any religion, including the Catholic faith,” he said in a news release.

“In total disregard for the Constitution, homosexual activists in positions of authority in San Francisco have abused their authority as government officials and misused the instruments of the government to attack the Catholic Church. Their egregious abuse of power has now the backing of a lower federal court. … Unfortunately, all too often we see a double standard being applied in Establishment Clause cases,” Muise said.

Openly gay California Assemblyman Mark Leno told protesters of the teen rally that though such religious people may be few, “they’re loud, they’re obnoxious, they’re disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco.”

Currently, as WND has reported, the states of Colorado and Michigan are tackling the question of whether the Bible itself can be vilified as “hate speech” for it’s condemnation of homosexuality, and Canada has developed human rights commissions, which have decided people cannot express opposition to homosexuality without fear of government reprisal.

Everyday I have to endure the lies on major media that blame global warming for everything from the floods in Iowa to the fires in California. It is not only nonsense it is flat out lies and lying on news programs to deceive the public should be illegal. If they had an ounce of scientific knowledge they would know that global warming is not the cause of these climate events. Yet they keep saying it is. The elitists running the media want that disinformation told. It is nothing but a blatant lying brainwashing campaign to get the globalist tax and grab agenda passed.

In this article Dr. Tim Ball tells you why the floods and violent weather this year were more likely the result of global cooling and why you can expect more violent weather it in the future. Yet, you can be sure that national media will keep blaming all climatic events on global warming. God forbid that a major hurricane hits the U.S. this season. Every global warming bill in the congress will be instantly passed without a shred of science behind it.

CFP: Alarmists use weather to promote global warming hoax

Claims that recent severe weather and flooding in the US are proof of human CO2 impacts on global climate are scientific nonsense. They are part of a pattern of keeping weather and climate issues in the public mind.

There are three major problems with what is being said. 1. The severe weather of this spring across the Northern Hemisphere was caused by cooler weather not warmer. 2. The IPCC and the NOAA positions that severe weather will increase with global warming is scientifically wrong. 3. The records show current weather extremes are well within long term natural variability.

This trend of severe weather is most likely to increase as the Earth continues to cool. Proponents of human caused climate change will claim it proves them right. They will continue their practice of claiming natural events as unnatural. Unless people understand the basic science they will continue the fraud and pressure politicians into even more damaging energy and environmental policies.

Janet Folger has the national issues right in this article. Maybe you should take some time to watch the “Nobama Girl” on YouTube that she is raving about. The link is in the article.

Where the battle is hottest

we must get the word out about what an Obama administration would mean for our country. One of the best ways I’ve seen is the new Nobama Girl video on YouTube. Have you seen it? The “Nobama Girl” music video released last week has already been called “the best video on YouTube,” by viewers.

I agree.

The Nobama Girl, Jannique Stewart, provides an answer to the Obama Girl’s “crush,” with a call to “crush” Obama’s campaign with the truth.

“Many Americans are buying empty rhetoric of ‘change,’ without knowing the horrific policies behind that change that their vote would establish,” said Stewart in a recent press release. “This video is intended to bring the hidden things to light.”

It exposes the facts of Obama’s policies of:

* abortion on demand and infanticide
* his “respect” and support of the California Supreme Court decision to abolish marriage between one man and one woman
* amnesty
* gun control
* support for “hate crime” legislation that would criminalize Christian and pro-family views

Unlike the sleazy counterpart, the Nobama Girl video is one the whole family can watch and become informed. I give it two thumbs up. Rarely is exposing the evil positions of a candidate this much fun.

I think this article expresses the difference between real marriage and the perverted counterfeit that will always be a perverted counterfeit no matter how many governments try to change a natural order that cannot be changed. The Creators natural order will always trump any perverted order of man. That includes the order from the California Supreme Court.

California’s Mad magazine marriage

I’m going to dispense with the subtleties and point out what most are thinking but won’t say for fear of the inevitable “progressive” backlash (shhhh …they’re everywhere): So-called “same-sex marriage” is a counterfeit. If marriage is a Rembrandt, then the ridiculous and oxymoronic notion of “gay marriage” is a Rembrandt knock-off from the pages of Mad magazine. It’s a silly novelty.

I know. I’m “mean-spirited.” But in light of the California Supreme Court’s recent opinion – which enigmatically manufactured a “constitutional right” to “same-sex marriage” from thin air – I think we need to come back to earth for a moment. Mind you, re-entry into reality’s atmosphere will inevitably burn some folks.

When same-sex friendships are twisted and sexualized, practitioners of “the sin that dare not speak its name” are forced, at every level, to merely mimic the genuine article. They jump through a series of inelegant hoops to create a fantasy world wherein two people of the same gender clumsily imitate natural heterosexual pairings properly designed for procreation and the healthy rearing of children.

Even “gay sex” (male-male anal sodomy) is a crude, man-made imitation of the natural heterosexual reproductive process. Sadly, as millions of homosexuals have had to learn the hard way, this disordered, makeshift simulation of a natural biological process is coldly rejected by the very human biology it mocks.

As the CDC has illustrated time and again, unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences. Homosexual conduct – especially among males – creates an environment ripe for infectious disease and emotional and spiritual injury. This, by definition, is perversion.

In California the fruits can now get married and nuts now sit on the California supreme Court. The four members of the California Supreme Court that said restricting marriage of men and women is discriminatory have earned by Demented Delusional or Dumb Club of the week award.

Would someone please take the California Supreme Court to the U.S. Supreme Court to rule if demented judges are constitutional. Also define gay marriage. It that the marriage of two people that fall withing the English meaning of the word or the perverted meaning of the word.

California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban

California’s supreme court ruled that a ban on gay marriage was unlawful Thursday, effectively leaving same-sex couples in America’s most populous state free to tie the knot in a landmark ruling.

In an opinion that analysts say could have nationwide implications for the issue, the seven-member panel voted 4-3 in favor of plaintiffs who argued that restricting marriage to men and women was discriminatory.

“… limiting the designation of marriage to a union ‘between a man and a woman’ is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute,” California Chief Justice Ron George said in the written opinion.

They call this a news worthy study of echinacea and colds? 58 people over 8 weeks! Give me a break!

Lets see, I would think that over 8 weeks about 20 of the 58 people would normally be expected to get a cold. Then of the 29 who took the echinacea (ten of these might get a cold in this period ) had 5 fewer sick days than the other 29 that took a placebo? Seems to me that your study supports that those who took echinacea had five fewer sick days and thus probably had fewer colds.

If you are going to publish studies on echinacea publish a study that actually proves something. A study needs to be done on hundreds or thousands of people over a whole season in the way that people are directed to take echinacea. You are not supposed to take echinacea everyday for colds. You only take it when you are exposed to colds or when you are already coming down with a cold to lessen the duration. We already have studies that prove if you take echinacea every day it becomes less effective and might even be worse then taking nothing at all. However, if you take it as directed studies prove it will help prevent colds and lessen the duration of colds.

So what was the name of the drug manufacturer that sponsored the farce?

FOXNews.com – Study Finds No Evidence Echinacea Prevents Colds – Health News | Current Health News | Medical News

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco followed 58 volunteers for eight weeks and found no definitive evidence that echinacea prevented nasal congestion, sore throats and other cold symptoms.

While the echinacea group reported fewer sick days than the placebo group, nine versus 14, researchers chalked the difference up to chance.

Hysteria is rampant and the people have become delusional. There should be a war against progressive mental illness from the halls of Time Magazine to the shores of Massachusetts and California.

From fighting evil to fighting carbon emissions

The Time cover is cheap heroism. It is a liberal attempt to depict as equally heroic those who fight carbon emissions and those who fought Japanese fascists and Nazis.

Second, for much of the left, the cover reflects the primacy of environmental concerns over moral concerns. For example, the left seemed never to care about the millions of Africans who continued to die from malaria largely because of the environmentalists’ worldwide ban on the use of DDT as pesticide. The same holds true for another left-wing environmentalist fantasy. Changing corn into biofuels is causing a surge in food prices throughout the world. The European Union continues this policy despite warnings even from some environmentalists that food shortages, starvation and food riots are imminent. But human suffering is not as significant as environmental degradation.

Third, the left is far more internationalist – global, if you will – in its orientation than national. As the Time article states, “Going green: What could be redder, whiter and bluer than that?” Whereas, for most Americans patriotism remains red, white and blue, for much of the left it is green.

Fourth, the further left you go, the more inclined you are to hysteria. From the threat of DDT to the threat of heterosexual AIDS in America to that mass killer secondhand smoke, the left believes and spreads threats that, unlike the threat of Islamic terror, really are “scare tactics.”

From the article you get the picture that these people were shown that there was no global warming since 1998. Yet it did not even phase them because this whole scam is not about global warming anyway.

The other day I got a computer magazine all talking about global warming and what we all need to do about it. So why would a computer magazine jump on the global warming bandwagon? I can’t really see it selling more issues, it might even make a few people like me angry enough to cancel their subscription. The only answer is that the editors of the magazine like so many others have been been successfully brainwashed.

No matter how much science is published discrediting man caused global warming we cannot reach the masses with the truth. That is because certain high level people in government, education and media are actively continuing the brainwashing. They simply have too much money and power to lose to ever admit that there is no true scientific facts backing their claims. It is just like trying to preach salvation in Jesus to those blinded by the world. They simply choose not to see and be saved.

The only way this socialist tax transfer scheme is going to be stopped is if God puts us into a ice age. People now only believe what they are told by their media masters and gurus. They have been so dumbed down in their schools that they cannot think for themselves. They just sit in front of the liberal media propaganda program for their daily feeding.

Think I am wrong? How else would you explain the current socialist nominations for president? The formation of the godless EUSR? The rise of the new fascist Russia? The rise of godless communist China? How do explain the voters in our own country thinking a Marxist with a social gospel contrary to the Bible will solve our foreign and domestic problems? How do you explain how any of this will solve the certain Western economic collapse caused by everyone spending beyond their means for decades? The world has obviously entered into a time of global brainwashing on many fronts.The whole world is being set up for a fascist socialist hybrid.

I have to tell you, the way this country is going it simply has no future. It will not exist as the United States by next decade. We do not have to wait for the fall of the United States, it is is already happening so fast that in a few years most of the country will be dwelling in a depressed socialist police state that might as well then be named the USS of A.

I simply do not see the majority of American people doing anything to stop this slide into Marxism and its brainwashing. Prove me wrong! Please!

FOXNews.com – Junk Science: The Global Warming Bubble – Opinion

Sacrificing many trillions of dollars of GDP for a trivial, 45-year-delayed and merely hypothetical reduction in average global temperature must be considered as exponentially more asinine than the dot-bombs of the late-1990s and the NINJA subprime loans that we now look upon scornfully.So who in their right mind would push for this?

I met many of them up-close-and-personal last week at a major Wall Street Journal conference at which I was an invited speaker. My fellow speakers included many CEOs (from General Electric, Wal-Mart, Duke Energy and Dow Chemical, to name just a few), California’s Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the heads of several environmental activist groups.

The audience — a sold-out crowd of hundreds who had to apply to be admitted and pay a $3,500 fee — consisted of representatives of the myriad businesses that seek to make a financial killing from climate alarmism.

There were representatives of the solar, wind and biofuel industries that profit from taxpayer mandates and subsidies, representatives from financial services companies that want to trade permits to emit CO2, and public relations and strategic consultants to all of the above.

We libertarians would call such an event a rent-seekers ball — the vast majority of the audience was there to plot how they could lock in profits from government mandates on taxpayers and consumers. It was an amazing collection of pseudo-entrepreneurs who were absolutely impervious to the scientific and economic facts that ought to deflate the global warming bubble.

I do not agree with everything Frosty writes but I do see the hypocrisy in our marijuana laws. The same people who are busting people for marijuana are just as likely to be using it themselves in their own recreation time.

The costs to the nation of trying to enforce something that is not enforceable is huge. After over forty years of the DEA’s war on marijuana still over half the population of this nation uses it on one or more occasions and a significant population uses it regularly.

Millions have been imprisoned for doing nothing more than using a herb that is not anymore dangerous then many other herbs and substances that are perfectly legal. Certain people go to prison because they got caught while many high government officials and the rich and famous admit to the use of marijuana and are winked at.

It is police actions like this that fosters paranoia toward government enforcement agencies. The lucrative money in marijuana establishes illegal networks and gang wars over turf that get many people killed. These same networks then bring in harder drugs.

Marijuana laws are illogical. States cannot even agree on its enforcement. In one state it is a slap on the wrist to be in position of Marijuana and in another state it is a felony with a prison term that will ruin a persons life forever. It makes no sense.

Frosty Wooldridge — Marijuana Prohibition and Public Safety

“Many experts agree that the first drug to become legal and regulated will be marijuana. As DEA law judge Francis Young concluded after an exhaustive study of cannabis: “Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.” Its use has rarely been a public safety issue. One cannot overdose on it. Moreover, its legalization would be a tremendous boost to improve public safety. Why? Road officers spend million of hours searching cars for a baggie of pot. They could concentrate on the deadly DUI and reckless drivers. They would be re-directed to find and arrest the child predators on line looking for a 13 year old girl. Federal agents could completely focus on Al Qaeda and stop wasting time on medical marijuana gardens in California.”
