Philadelphia punishes Boy Scouts

The city of Philadelphia has decided to punish the Boy Scouts of America because it will not allow homosexuals to serve as Scout Leaders. City officials said they will charge the Cradle of Liberty Scouts Council $200,000 a year to use the city-owned headquarters. The Council was paying $1 per year (since 1928). The city owns the land on which the Council's 1928 Beaux Arts building sits.

Chernobyl gorenobel

...one of the world's foremost meteorologists called the theory that helped Al Gore win a share of the Nobel prize the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works".

Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, spoke to a packed lecture hall at the University of North Carolina and said humans were not responsible for global warming.

"We're brainwashing our children," said Gray, 78, a longtime professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."

Nation's top Democrat defends banning God

The nation’s number one Democrat, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, is defending the banning of religious references on certificates issued by the Architect of the Capitol.

An Eagle Scout asked that a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol be sent to his grandfather, along with a certificate bearing the message: “In honor of my grandfather Marcel Larochelle, and his dedication and love of God, country, and family.”

Stephen Ayers, the Architect of the Capitol, banned the use of the word “God” in the certificate issued for the Eagle Scout. Ayers, serving in a low-level, non-elected position, claims he has the authority to ban the word “God” from the certificate. This is the first time ever for the Architect of the Capitol to ban religious references. Ayers said he banned the word “God” because someone might be offended.

Pelosi defended Ayers’ decision to ban all religious references. Several legislators signed a letter to Pelosi asking that Ayers’ censorship be stopped. “The Architect’s policy is in direct conflict with his charge, as well as the scope of his office and brings into question his ability to preserve a building containing many national religious symbols,” the legislators said in the letter.

Instead of stopping the censorship, Pelosi defended it. “It’s not about being anti-religion,” Pelosi said. “It is just about what the Architect thought was appropriate for him to proclaim in a certificate.” By saying such, Pelosi approved the banning of religious references by Ayers.

Eagle Scout!!!

The Soros Threat To Democracy

by INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, September 24, 2007 4:20 PM PT

Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.

How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute, which gave him "legal and media advice"?

That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.

That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly "censored" spiel for weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda.

 

I found these comments on the ABC News website. I love their signatures!

Rudy Giuliani blasted his Democratic presidential rival, accusing her of spewing "political venom" in the Iraq war debate.

Come on now, Rudy, give Hitlery a break. She's got a lot on her plate right now trying to launder $850,000 of corrupt Hsu cash.

She's very busy trying to keep a campaign of 350 people from flying apart...
But she is able to know everything going in in Iraq with our 165,000 soldiers...
Sure Hillary... keep checking those donors for dirty money...

Challenge to Scientific Consensus on Global Warming: Analysis Finds Hundreds of Scientists Have Published Evidence Countering Man-Made Global Warming Fears

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one element of current man-made global warming scares. More than 300 of the scientists found evidence that 1) a natural moderate 1,500-year climate cycle has produced more than a dozen global warmings similar to ours since the last Ice Age and/or that 2) our Modern Warming is linked strongly to variations in the sun's irradiance. "This data and the list of scientists make a mockery of recent claims that a scientific consensus blames humans as the primary cause of global temperature increases since 1850," said Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Dennis Avery.

James 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Revelation 2:7

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

de nada

Question:  Just this year, how many lives have been spared in the Caribbean and Central America, and how much property damage avoided, due to weather satellites bought and paid for by American citizens?  Do I hear a “Gracias” from anyone?

De nada.

Survey: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory

Barack Hussein Obama

Barack Hussein Obama says that U.S. troops in Afghanistan are “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians.”

I just finished reading “Sole Survivor”, by Marcus Luttrell, and can name three Navy SEALS who died because they did not kill two civilians: Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Mike Murphy. Sixteen more brave men died trying to rescue them, when their helicopter was shot down.

Someone should explain to Barack Hussein Obama how much his antipathy to civilian casualties is costing us, then ask him how many more men should be sacrificed to his tender sensibilities.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Nukelheads

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who chastised rival Barack Obama for ruling out the use of nuclear weapons in the war on terror, did just that when asked about Iran a year ago.

"I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table," she said in April 2006.

- - - - -

Okay Hillary. Alright Obama. You don't have to just blab it out to the whole world, you know. Maybe you should let them wonder, just a little. Okay?

Young America's Foundation

CAIR, the Council of American Islamic Relations, has threatened the Young America's Foundation with legal action if they permit anti-jihad author Robert Spencer to speak at the National Conservative Student Conference. [link]

Jason Mattera, spokesman for YAF, responded, "CAIR can go to Hell and they can take their 72 virgins with them.” 

Bravo, Jason!

As an aside, the CAIR letter was written by Joseph E. Sandler.  The following is from his own website: "From February 1993 until May 1998, Mr. Sandler served on the staff of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] as general counsel. He continues to serve in that position through his law firm."   

It just amazes me how Dimocrats manage to be so wrong on every conceivable issue.  At least Republicans occasionally get something right.

 

NO JOKE!!! Russia claims North Pole

“Russia claims North Pole with Arctic flag stunt.”

Maybe we should remind Putin that there’s a U.S. flag on the moon.

 

Dim bulbs

According to "The Politico", New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer...said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush “except in extraordinary circumstances.”  

Not too surprising, I suppose.  This just follows the same pattern the Dims have established for Federal judge appointments. 

Partisanship anyone?  Just what does Sen. Chuck think Republicans should do the next time a Dimocratic president (shudder) nominates a judge? 

 

More aid and comfort to the enemy

Pentagon Rebukes Clinton on Iraq

Jul 19, 1:43 PM (ET)

By DEVLIN BARRETT

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon has issued a stinging rebuke to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, arguing that she is boosting enemy propaganda by asking how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq.

Under Secretary of Defense Eric Edelman wrote a biting reply to questions Clinton raised in May, urging the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

A copy of Edelman's response, dated July 16, was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote.

He added that "such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks."

GOP Leadership Challenge

…on one issue, the [GOP] candidates should not run from the president, in fact they should run toward him and close any distance or doubt between them: the battle of our lifetime, the global war against Islamic terrorism and its battleground Iraq.  We propose they do so as soon as possible, in one press conference where they all stand united in one voice and say:

 

“On this issue, on the war against Islamic terror, in the battle for Iraq, we stand with one voice and one policy: Victory. We support both the troops and the mission and you cannot divide that support. The troops and their generals believe in what they are doing, that they can win if they are given the necessary support. We believe them, we believe in them, and will do everything in our political power to help see them through to victory. On this issue, there is no daylight among the president, our servicemen and women in Iraq, and us. We will not support premature withdrawal or surrender.”                      --William J. Bennett & Seth Leibsohn (link)

 

Lampson at the Alamo?

I see that my Congressman, Nick Lampson, voted on Thursday for the "Responsible Redeployment From Iraq Act", the latest attempt by Democrats to guarantee a major defeat for the US in the war against terrorists.
We're lucky the congressman wasn't at the Alamo; Texans in 1835 were made of sterner stuff.
