President Bush, Obama and McCain and most of the Congress and the Senate all sang the Hank Paulson blues to America. The 700 Billion figure was just a figure pulled out of thin air because they did not think they could sell over a trillion dollars to the American people. At first they did not have the votes but then they added $150 billion in pork to buy the votes they needed. Now Paulson is taking the money and doing the exact oppose that he said he was going to do with it. Much of the money was given to a few bank who did not need it but had no choice but to take it. On the one hand they are telling these banks that they forced to take money to tighten up there lending requirements and on the other hand they are saying they need to lend out more money. The 46 Billion loan to AIG is now up to $150 Billion. The Fanny May Freddie Mac bailout is going to cost much more than they ever let on.

There will be hundreds of hands out for the remaining piece of the money pie. Taxpayers will be given the choice to make more money pies or lose their jobs. The bill to the taxpayers in any case will probably exceed two trillions dollars and that will not include the cost of falling government revenues in a recession. Then the government thinks they can finance trillions of dollars in additional debt to world suckers at less than the world inflation rate? More likely the government will be forced to just print additional dollars to pay the debt which will make the dollar crash like a rock bringing the U.S. a much greater financial disaster.

This is what happens when Americans let government morons try to manage things like they actually know what they are doing. If these people had any brains to start with they would not be working for the government. Now Americans will put a President in place who wants the government to manage just about everything ranging from health care, to energy, to climate. It seems to me the American people deserve the Demented Delusional or Dumb Club Award for knowing nothing, being the most gullible people on earth and trusting their own future to these morons running the Federal government.

Hank Paulson, naked emperor (OneNewsNow.com)

The White House says: “We’ll just trust our treasury secretary to implement the program.” President Bush insists “government’s role will be limited and temporary.” Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank is shrugging off the lack of bailout disclosure by both the Federal Reserve and Treasury. But as I reminded readers before this latest bait-and-switch admission, Hank Paulson is not to be trusted. I repeat:

This is the man who proclaimed the subprime crisis “largely contained” in April 2007; “near the bottom” in May 2007; and “largely contained” again in August 2007. This is the man who pledged that he had “no interest in bailing out lenders or property speculators” in October 2007 and couldn’t “think of any situation where the backdrop of the global economy was as healthy as it is today.”

This is the man who patted himself on the back for refusing to “put taxpayer money on the line” to rescue Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15 — and then turned around the next day and engineered the $85 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of AIG. This is the man who vowed he had “no plans to insert money” into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — and then turned around and committed $200 billion in capital and credit lines to those corrupt, bloated, crumbling institutions.

This is the man who declared that “the worst is likely to be behind us” in May 2008.

The insane foreign policy of Clinton and Bush toward North Korea just might cause the rise of another major nuclear power in the world. Japan could be a nuclear superpower in a few years after they make a decision to go nuclear. Japan has a large amount of plutonium, they have the rockets and they know how to build nukes.

North Korea has been playing us the fool for decades and our leadership will do anything to be in the good graces of the “Dear Leader” of North Korea even though allowing North Korea to retain nuclear weapons threatens our friends. This sham operation on their reactor does not reduce N. Korea’s nuclear capabilities one bit yet we took them off the state terrorist list even though they recently gave nuclear material to Syria and who knows who else.

Now it appears that we will treat them like friends until the next time they stab us in the back. Their murderous human rights abuses alone should keep them right on top of the list of terrorists nations. This is more of the same liberal postmodernism that believes that there are no evil people we just need to talk to them and find common ground and they will come around and see the light. We have a State Department full of nincompoops who have drunk the Kool-Aid of the “Dear Leaders” cult nation!

Allowing a nuclear North Korea puts us under constant danger of an EMP attack ourselves and the threat of North Korea exporting their nuclear material to other terrorist nations or groups. People who put Japan and ourselves under this risk should be locked up in a rubber room where they cannot harm anyone. If our loony foreign policies decisions result in a nuclear Japan we might as will give up on nuclear non-proliferation. Then each nation can prepare its own nukes for the certain doomsday that will come.

Far Eastern Economic Review | Will Japan Go Nuclear?

Japan is furious because the Bush administration, in its dying days, has done exactly what it accused the Clintonites of doing—rewarding North Korea for bad behavior. Why? Because the North Koreans are masters of brinkmanship, blackmail and extortion. They have exploited Bush’s need for a foreign policy “legacy.”

We have seen this movie before. North Korea has just “sold” its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon for the third time since 1994, and for an even higher price. In return for the usual promises that North Korea will dismantle Yongbyon, the United States will provide even more fuel aid than under the 1994 and 2007 agreements.

With North Korea now removed from the State department’s list of states that sponsor terrorism, it will be eligible for direct U.S. aid, as well as international loans and other benefits. The United States also expects Japan to help pay for this new agreement.

But Japan is balking. Indeed, it has reason to fear that the North Koreans, once they have pocketed these concessions, will present other demands. These might include a “nonaggression pact” with America and a “peace treaty” that will include the removal of remaining U.S. forces from South Korea.

And what of America’s previous insistence that North Korean “denuclearization” be complete, verifiable and irreversible? Gone, but covered by a fig leaf. North Korea will not be required to own up to its uranium-enrichment program, hidden underground. Nor will it be required to give up the six to a dozen nuclear weapons that it has already built. And North Korea won’t be held to account for its proliferation of fissile material to places such as Syria and Iran.

I don’t normally post movie reviews but “An American Triumph” grounded in Judeo-Christian ethic sounds like a movie that is a lot of fun. Especially since it exposes the Far Left for the demented people they are and it is also gives them a taste of there own medicine.

FrontPage Magazine

The plot revolves around a retelling of the Scrooge story, this time on Independence Day. A leftist documentary filmmaker named Michael Malone (Kevin Farley) plots, with MoveAlong.org, to abolish the Fourth of July. Soon, he is visited by three spirits who show him what the world would be like if the United States had never waged war. While hostile critics will call it an apology for warmongering, it cannot be stereotyped with such a simplistic, not to mention inhuman, message. One film soldier tells protestors he, too, opposes war, but it is sometimes inevitable. The film’s true message is that there is evil in the world, and it must be opposed by moral good backed by might.

This moral clarity, grounded in the Judeo-Christian ethic, may alone explain why such movies are never made in Hollywood.

However, the real attraction is not the message but the jokes. The trailer does not do the film justice. Producer David Zucker did the audience a favor by not making a conservative film with jokes but a comedy that happens to be conservative. Suicide bombers as a whole are made the object of scorn. One of the terror leaders remarks, “It is getting harder and harder to find suicide bombers, and all the really good ones are gone.” Muslim sexual morés also take a grazing hit. The al-Qaeda recruiting video, done in the style of 1950s and ‘60s educational film strips, is not to be missed. By far the funniest moment is the screening of Rosie O’Connell’s documentary about radical Christians, which makes reference to an Episcopalian suicide bomber.

Perhaps this points to the movie’s most politically consequential motif: it fittingly depicts, in a comic format, how the radical Left has moved into the mainstream of the Democratic Party. In the film, Malone introduces former president Jimmy Carter at a MoveAlong.org rally, just as Michael Moore shared the real-life Carter’s box at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and as Al Gore made his post-9/11 political rebound bellowing red-faced rants at MoveOn.org rallies. For making this point, this author has himself been parodied (but not nearly as well as this ensemble does the Left).

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

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.

People like Nancy Pelosi, T. Boone Pickens and Al gore are telling lies that could have a catastrophic negative impact on this nations for decades. At some point the people of the United States are going to have to say we have had enough of people with special interests buying time to give out irresponsible disinformation or the conservatives are going to have to do something about the imbalanced message themselves.

There is something wrong when billionaires like Pickens with a ten billion dollar venture in windmills can buy time on all major national medias to misinformed the public on a national security issue in order to sell the windmill industry that he leads.

There is something wrong when Al Gore’s group can spend 300 million to give global warming disinformation on media to sell a carbon cap and trade industry that he leads.

There is something wrong when the Speaker of the House will not even let the oil drilling issue come up for vote when 3/4 of the people of the U.S. want off shore drilling.

There is something wrong when all these people can get invited over and over again to appear on public media shows to give their nutty unrealistic views on energy but little or nothing is said by people who know the truth. There is a term for this, it is called brainwashing the American public.

A biased mass media run by the elite has changed America from a Republic to an Oligarchy. It used to be that representatives voted what the local people wanted but with mass media those that control the media first brainwash the public to believe a lie and then when they have enough convinced that lies are truth they pass loony laws that negatively impact Americans.

As I speak their is a bill sponsored by Obama going through Congress that will simply give away almost one percent of America’s Gross national product each year to the UN to give to other nations. Do you even know that this wealth transfer will soon be law? Why would they tell you? Government and media is not serving Americans anymore it is serving world governance through world elitists. As long as this continues we do not have a Republic we have a Oligarchy.

We need more than election reform, we also need brainwashing reform and we need to get rid of the undue influence of elitists that are brainwashing everyone. These power brokers are trying to manage everyone as they see fit but in reality they are about to screw up the whole world.

Major media is so influential and so controlled by just a few people that it needs to be made to report all the facts. It must not be allowed to just push the agendas of special interest groups.

I also would like to know why the Right is not making an equal effort in the major medias to inform the people of the truth as the Left is in giving disinformation? Is it only Homosexuals, environmentalists and big government socialists who have money to buy media in this country? Why is the conservative Right not buying just as much time to debunk the lies coming from the Left? We are not going to restore a government elected by people who have the facts if we allow the Left to have all the control over information to the people.

So I ask you conservative people who have the money, why are you not using your money to make a difference? Why is the conservative Right not also controlling major national medias? Is everyone on the Right broke? If conservative talk can draw the audience in talk radio why are conservatives not establishing their own TV programs to get out the truth?

If you are going to just give the Left the only voice that matters why would you expect anything other than more amoral laws and socialism in America?

Nancy Pelosi is playing God

There is a big disconnect between the rush to convert automobiles to batteries and the reality that the electricity to recharge those batteries would require a massive new generating capacity. The same flawed excuse of “protecting the environment” has also blocked the expansion of electricity generating capacity. If the self-appointed gods of environmental protection won’t allow the expansion of electricity generation, how are the batteries of all these new electric vehicles going to be recharged every night?

Another major disconnect between the rush to replace oil with renewable sources such as wind and solar is the negative environmental impact of these renewable technologies. For example, to replace a single 50-megawatt coal-fired generating plant, which may occupy as much as 20 acres of land, approximately 3,000 acres of land would have to be occupied by wind turbines. To produce 50-megawatts of electricity from solar panels would cover even more land. How can these protectors of the environment justify blanketing the land with whirling bird-killers and solar panels that block the sun from all forms of life beneath them?

Some environmental purists genuinely want America and the world to return to the Stone Age. Nancy Pelosi is no environmental purist. She is a political creature, which is a person so intoxicated by power that the instinct to retain and expand it overwhelms common sense, logic, ethics, morality, or anything else that might get in the way.

By her refusal even to allow debate on proposals to expand oil development – where oil is known to exist – she stands like a barricade between thirsty consumers and a new mountain stream. She apparently sees herself as a self-appointed savior; she is, in truth, acting as judge and jury, condemning a nation desperate for more energy to spiraling energy costs for possibly another generation.

This is not a new posture for Democrat leadership. Democrats in the House, the Senate and the White House have blocked expansion of oil supplies for more than a decade. Had Bill Clinton not vetoed the bill that would have opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge more than a decade ago, gas prices would not be as high as they are today. Millions of jobs would have been created, and every American could have saved the money needlessly paid to foreign sources for oil, simply because one man played God and defied the express will of the people.

Nancy Pelosi is now playing God, standing where Bill Clinton stood more than a decade ago, defying the expressed will of the people by blocking access to the known oil reserves that are so desperately needed by the entire nation.

In Britain police can enter your home to inspect your plants for bugs but they will not enter whole neighborhoods that are controlled by Muslims. Seems they know British natives wear skits and they are not going to be a threat to them. By the way, they are planning to have police inspect your house for undeclared carbon dioxide. So you better declare that you are breathing. Sometimes I wonder if that is true of men in Britain. Perhaps the body snatchers have taken all the men away and replaced them with human looking plants. Big nanny can claim she made the men become skirted daisies to make them carbon negative.

Now there are 1,000 laws that will let the state into your home | Mail Online

The march of the Big Brother state under Labour was highlighted last night as it was revealed that there are now 1,043 laws that give the authorities the power to enter a home or business.

Nearly half have been introduced since Labour came to power 11 years ago.

new powers set to be approved by Parliament include inspecting for non-human genetic material, for looted cultural property from Iraq and for ‘undeclared’ carbon dioxide, as well as enforcing bin tax.

Town hall ‘bin police’ already have the right to enter homes, take photographs, seize contents of bins, and ‘investigate as required’.

Householders can be fined up to £5,000 if they refuse entry or ‘obstruct’ an official.

Al Gore needs to come down to earth from the moon, get his head out of his crystal ball and learn some fundamental science.

This Nobel buffoon challenges the U.S. to get every kilowatt of electricity out of what he calls “Earth-friendly” sources in 10 years. It can’t be done and everyone knows it. It can’t even be done in fifty years. He is even contradicting the Alliance for Climate Protection that he chairs. They say it will cost the nation 1.5 to 3 trillion dollars over thirty years and that does not even count the two billion it will cost for clean coal. So who do you think will pay this five trillion dollars? You will pay for it by higher prices on everything and through carbon taxes.

We do not have to be at the mercy of oil producing regimes. Environmentalists and globalists like Al Gore made that possible. We can once again be the largest oil producing regime on the planet. We have the largest oil and coal reserves in the world and it will cost only $50 a barrel to get it out of the ground. The oil is in oil shale and oil companies now know how to get it out of the ground without harming the environment. The U.S. and Canada have have enough oil and gas in shale, oil sands and coal to be a major exporter to the world for a thousand years. Granted it would take about 30 years before we can become a major net exporter but each year we will be producing more and more of our own oil at the equivalent of $2 a gallon gas. Those are the facts. However we need to get started if we are ever going to be a net exporter rather than an importer. That means that we have to allow oil shale development on Federal lands where most of it is located and coal plants needs to be built that will start converting coal to oil. The know how exists. Pilot project are under development that will produce oil out of shale for under $50 a barrel, the same methods can be used for oil sands. South Africa is now producing oil out of coal for most of the oil needs of their nation at $30 a barrel.

What really needs to be done is for Congress and environmentalists like Al Gore to stop blocking progress. CO2 in any level that man produces is beneficial to the earth. It makes green plants grow and there is no evidence that it is linked to global warming. In fact, as CO2 level continue to increase the earth has not cooled in over a decade and it actually started major cooling in the last two years. Alaska as I speak is having the coldest summer in a long time. Your not going to see pictures of ice free passages in the Arctic this year unless they use last years footage (that is not at all above them). So without any evidence they say global warming is taking a ten year break and it will start again once they ramrod their crazy energy policies on much of the world. This really has nothing to do with global warming it is all about global control of everyone.

Increased volcanic activity will more likely have more effect on CO2 in the future then anything that man does. Since man only causes less then five percent of the CO2 in the atmosphere.

Another thing is Al Gore and other globalist like him are the ones who exported all our manufacturing to other nations. So they created the rapid uncontrolled development in China and India and now they say that these nations are causing the problem by using more oil. So they created the problem and now the same people who created the problem tell us the problem they created is the cause of the world oil shortage. Gee, maybe you people should of thought of that before you exported all of manufacturing jobs to nations that have few environmental controls. They governments are also subsidizing the cost of oil in these developing nations. If they let the free market set the price of oil many of the jobs would go elsewhere and China and India would not keep expanding at this insane rate.

Al Gore also does not understand economics 101. Oil prices can only go as high as people are willing to pay for it. They are not going to keep going up. If they did there would be a world depression and oil demand would decline. We heard the same nonsense under Jimmy Carter in the late 70’s but then oil prices declined under Ronald Regan due to free enterprise.

That is why anytime you hear of the likelihood of a recession in the U.S. oil prices suddenly decline. If we had a severe recession in this country all nations exports would suffer and these countries would be using less oil. It is possible that in a world recession oil prices could be back under $30 a barrel. There is also new oil coming on line in the next two years that could help push prices down. The main reason oil continues to go up is on the future speculation that demand will increase ten years down the line. However, if we start major drilling programs and other energy development that will take the future out of the oil futures market and oil will go down to what it is actually worth.

I suggest they we have a moon project and send Al Gore to the moon before the globe suffers irreparable harm from the global carbon scheme that he is pushing and his crystal ball predictions of doom.

My Way News – Gore sets ‘moon shot’ goal on climate change

WASHINGTON (AP) – Just as John F. Kennedy set his sights on the moon, Al Gore is challenging the nation to produce every kilowatt of electricity through wind, sun and other Earth-friendly energy sources within 10 years, an audacious goal he hopes the next president will embrace.

The Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan group that he chairs, estimates the cost of transforming the nation to so-called clean electricity sources at $1.5 trillion to $3 trillion over 30 years in public and private money. But he says it would cost about as much to build ozone-killing coal plants to satisfy current demand.

To meet his 10-year goal, Gore said nuclear energy output would continue at current levels while the nation dramatically increases its use of solar, wind, geothermal and so-called clean coal energy. Huge investments must also be made in technologies that reduce energy waste and link existing grids, he said.

If the nation fails to act, the cost of oil will continue to rise as fast-growing China and India increase demand, Gore said. Sustained addiction to oil also will place the nation at the mercy of oil-producing regimes, he said, and the globe would suffer irreparable harm.

Government experts recently predicted that, at the current rate, world energy demand will grow 50 percent over the next two decades. The Energy Information Administration also said in its long-range forecast to 2030 that the world is not close to abandoning fossil fuels despite their effect on global warming.

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.”

Well you knew it had to come to this. Just wait until the liberals pass their hate speech laws. I guarantee the time will come when certain passages in the Bible will be censored and it won’t just be homosexual passages. All sin passages will be censored and anything else that might offend someone and it won’t just be book publishers that are sued and arrested.

‘Gay’ man sues Bible publishers

A homosexual man who has a blog on Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign website is suing two major Christian publishers for violating his constitutional rights and causing emotional pain, because the Bible versions they publish refer to homosexuality as a sin.

Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, of Canton, Mich., is seeking $60 million from Zondervan and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing in lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Grand Rapids Press reported.

Fowler filed his claim against Grand Rapids-based Zondervan Monday, alleging its Bibles’ references to homosexuality as a sin have made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of “demoralization, chaos and bewilderment,” the paper said.

He filed suit against Tennessee publisher Thomas Nelson in June.
