HOLEEKrap, this is funny

Iowahawk, at his best.

I LOL'ed.

Via Insty.

"What are ya gonna do, shoot me?"

"Absolutely".

While no one wants to see anyone dead, this Darwin Candidate ended up that way.

Let's see here.....intruder (thief), accosted by man with gun (homeowner). Cooperate? Nah.

One might say that he deserved what he got.

Then again, the homeowner must now defend himself against murder charges.

Me? I say give him a medal, a small gratuity, and free beer for a week.

Might well cause other miscreants to rethink their profession.

I know, I know, you ask...."Is your property worth another man's life?"

Well, the Darwin Candidate obviously thought so.....

They have no idea what kind of a shitstorm this will bring

Healthcare passed

This is going to bring a shitstorm upon those who voted for it. Yet another notch forward on the cog of revolution...

Personally, I'd like to see what happens when (if) the public finds out how much of our money has been spent to bribe senators buy votes.


Were we a less civilized people, we might riot, burn, hang and behead our senators. Think torches and pitchforks, rope, tar, and feathers, tree branches.....

Of course, I would not advocate such violence.......yeah, that's it.

Methinks our forefathers would, however, have expressed their dissatisfaction in a physical way when said senators return home. Good thing for then that we are less inclined to do so. Otherwise homes and cars might burn and families flee in fear.

I expect that the elections in 2010 shall be interesting. It's always a bad idea to poke the sleeping giant dragon....

perhaps our newly elected representatives and senators will repeal this disastrous legislation

And once again, we follow the money

I tole a ya so (again).

Follow the above link. Read and follow HIS links.

I told ya,I told ya, I told ya.

This isn't about the climate....It's about money and power.

And, of course, control.

Period.

Someday soon, we will burn climate scientists at the stake (along with AlGore).

ETA: More HERE (via Insty).....Read more on the good Doctor at page 3

Words from a wise man now dead

Posting this again. It bears repeating. Again.

Listen to it.



True then. True today.

What, other than the incremental step forward for socialism, do the democrats get out of passage of this bill? Fully 1/3 will lose their comfortable positions in congress or the house. The DNC loses its majority, perhaps for many years.

What do they get? Other than advancing the cause of socialism forward.

I don't get it. Is socialism that important to them?

Or am I thinking checkers when they are playing chess?

On buying shirts for men

Ladies:
Pay attention HERE to find out what kind of shirts you should buy for your "real man".

I could not agree more....

So now that they have 60

Does that mean that we can begin assembling the gallows and making pretty loops and such out of rope?

'cause we all know that a majority of their constituents oppose the "reforms" that they are soon to vote upon.

Personally, I'd sooner see their heads on pikes outside the capitals. Hanging's too good for 'em.

But then again, I am reactionary.

One wonders if they will ever be able to come home.

Were I that type of person, I'd make 'em afeared to do so.

I am sure that someone will....Glad it doesn't have to be me. If I were that type of person (I am not!) I would make them afraid to show their face in their home state...and make 'em afraid for the safety of their families and such.....Make'em afraid that their houses would suddenly catch fire..... afraid of car backfirings and such that sound like gunfire and all that......stuff like that.

Lucky for them that their constituents are civilized and all.....right?

(this is in no way a suggestion that anyone else should take any action discussed here...we are all adults and should take appropriate measures, never resorting to violence of any sort......!)


I'm just sayin'

Had this been just a citizen they'd be in jail

More proof that there is a double standard...One for "citizens" and one for cops.....

The upshot is that the cop pulled a gun after being hit with SNOWBALLS. Had I tried that, I'd have been hit with several charges: Displaying a weapon, intimidation, using a weapon in a threatening manner,Threatening deadly force...etc. Probably lost my carry permit as well (and as it should be).

Displaying a weapon should only be done when there is a need for the use of deadly force. Not as a threat.

The cop in question "detective Baylor" should not be allowed to possess a weapon, nor should he be in the position to protect the public nor make decisions affecting the public.

There is no (zero, none, nada, zilch,) reason for this behavior.

And the shame is that (so far) he has gotten away with it. And he is supposed to "protect and serve".

Look, Cops are human. But this is beyond bad judgement.

And they should be held to standards at least as stringent as the rest of us.

Cops should police their own.

No blue wall.

As I said, had this been any of us, we'd likely be in jail, for sure have had our weapon confiscated (even in a carry state) and likely be looking at having our ccl revoked.

More/better/longer video here....




Y'know....Someday the crowd is going to decide NOT to allow this. then what?

Then the line will be crossed...

And someone will be shot or dead. Maybe a cop, maybe a civilian....But dead or shot, nonetheless. And all because a cop went WAAAY over the line and wasn't man enough or just couldn't bring himself to back down....

At least they didn't try to tell folks that they couldn't use video.....or confiscate cameras...

Reasons why not to drive while impaired....

You'll never see any part of this ad campaign in the US (especially not on broadcast TV), as it might actually make someone think, and it might be effective.....

Warning, somewhat graphic scenes.

Hope this disturbs you.

Watch it. Show it to those it might help.

"The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an "unsustainable" trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, "the federal government will go bankrupt.""

But if we reatly expand the government run systems, and include everyone in the risk pool, things will get better? Yep, I believe that. See also the Post Office for ean example.....

Why should we think that a greatly expanded goverenment version of medicare will save even one thin dime????

If they can't even make medicare work, why should we believe that a greater plan encompassing everyone will do any better?

I realize that the thought of a government run health care plan makes big government liberals lose continence...The thought of having control of another 1/6th of the economy makes them salivate (so both ends become moist).

Really, they should give up. They couldn't force things through in the early days of the year, and now that "we the public" has seen the plans a bit more closely, we don't like anything that is contained therin.

and let us not forget the damage they are doing to the economy with the uncertanity that this looming bill brings to business planning....they shoud simply adjourn, and stop the debate and give up.

But the lapdogs of the DNC hve not the best interests of the people of the US uppermost in their hearts, but rather the advance of their ideology at any cost.

Sad, that we elect these people to represent us.

The American people get the government we deserve....

'nuff said

So someone explain to me...

Why CHINA is considered a "developing country" at the climate change talks?

I mean, seriously....It is arguably the 2nd or third in the world as far as industries....It is a nuclear (nukkular?) capable power, with the 2nd biggest army (mabee the first, I don't have latest figures).

It was able to muster up enough resources to host the latest olympics, makes it's own weapons(rather than buying them form other countries) has a space program....


So why are they listed as a third world "developing country" for the climate taxation talks in Copenhagen?

anyone?

Why Britain is circling the drain

Seems that when attacked in your own home, tied up, and beaten during an attempted robbery, the best thing you should do (in Britain) is just lie there and take it.

It beats lying there in prison and taking it....

Srsly....What is Britain coming to?

This once proud nation, which literally ruled the world, which hung on with such quiet desperation against the Germans in WWII (until the US came along to save their bacon)....This country, once so strong, with stalwart citizens....Has come to THIS.

Sad. Isn't it?

Wonder what might happen to such unwanted visitors in MY home....Best not to contemplate such things...But methinks there would be no complaints post incident....

At least, with British healthcare, the robber will get only the best care available for the rest of his life....snicker

can someone explain to me

What the difference is between military prisoners over there>>>>>>
In Gitmo, and military prisoners over here, in the Peoples Republik of Illinois?

I mean, other than the fact that the military watches them over there, and civilians will watch them here???

WTF difference does it make, except that The Obama promised to close Gitmo, and is apparently doing so....Same folks, same crimes, same interrogators, just a different venue and different guards?

I guess he can claim that he HAS indeed done what he promised (close Gitmo), in fact, if not in substance.

And where are all the NIMBYs crying about dangerous prisoners being in their neighborhood? I can't wait until one escapes and terrorizes some poor unsuspecting neighbor of the prison.....(actually, I hope it doesn't happen, But it could, and might, and if it does....)

What really, does this accomplish?

Can anyone answer?

I'd reeeeally like to know.

on RHPS and other (apparently) incurable afflictions

This says it all.

As I am currently cohabitating with someone so afflicted (RHPS, not the other, AFAIK), I can tell you that the RHPS affliction can be an issue for those of us not so afflicted.

They say that it can be cured (RHPS affliction, that is) with the proper deprogramming, and (possibly) electroshock therapy....But I am not sure.

Tell us how you really feel....

Stingray has some interesting ideas...


His prose is much better than mine, so I will trash my post and link to his instead.


What he said.

In spades.

He is more restrained than I, (I am much more homicidal in my reations to things) but I can agree with him on principal.

Self control is indeed an underrated life skill.

Laughter...

I am very tempted to try this...

But then again, enough people are apalled by my sense of humor...

I blame climate change...

But who knows WTF this was?

Seems not everyone buys the bullshit

So where is the "consensus"?

And where is the "settled" science?

Read the letter below:
Ask yourself: Where is the MSM on this??

Posted under fair use guidelines:



His Excellency Ban Ki Moon

Secretary-General, United Nations

New York, NY

United States of America


8 December 2009


Dear Secretary-General,


Climate change science is in a period of ‘negative discovery’ - the more we learn about this exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving field the more we realize how little we know. Truly, the science is NOT settled.


Therefore, there is no sound reason to impose expensive and restrictive public policy decisions on the peoples of the Earth without first providing convincing evidence that human activities are causing dangerous climate change beyond that resulting from natural causes. Before any precipitate action is taken, we must have solid observational data demonstrating that recent changes in climate differ substantially from changes observed in the past and are well in excess of normal variations caused by solar cycles, ocean currents, changes in the Earth's orbital parameters and other natural phenomena.


We the undersigned, being qualified in climate-related scientific disciplines, challenge the UNFCCC and supporters of the United Nations Climate Change Conference to produce convincing OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE for their claims of dangerous human-caused global warming and other changes in climate. Projections of possible future scenarios from unproven computer models of climate are not acceptable substitutes for real world data obtained through unbiased and rigorous scientific investigation.


Specifically, we challenge supporters of the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused climate change to demonstrate that:




1.Variations in global climate in the last hundred years are significantly outside the natural range experienced in previous centuries;

2.Humanity’s emissions of carbon dioxide and other ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHG) are having a dangerous impact on global climate;
3.Computer-based models can meaningfully replicate the impact of all of the natural factors that may significantly influence climate;
4.Sea levels are rising dangerously at a rate that has accelerated with increasing human GHG emissions, thereby threatening small islands and coastal communities;
5.The incidence of malaria is increasing due to recent climate changes;
6.Human society and natural ecosystems cannot adapt to foreseeable climate change as they have done in the past;
7.Worldwide glacier retreat, and sea ice melting in Polar Regions , is unusual and related to increases in human GHG emissions;
8.Polar bears and other Arctic and Antarctic wildlife are unable to adapt to anticipated local climate change effects, independent of the causes of those changes;
9.Hurricanes, other tropical cyclones and associated extreme weather events are increasing in severity and frequency;
10.Data recorded by ground-based stations are a reliable indicator of surface temperature trends.



It is not the responsibility of ‘climate realist’ scientists to prove that dangerous human-caused climate change is not happening. Rather, it is those who propose that it is, and promote the allocation of massive investments to solve the supposed ‘problem’, who have the obligation to convincingly demonstrate that recent climate change is not of mostly natural origin and, if we do nothing, catastrophic change will ensue. To date, this they have utterly failed to do so.

An early climate gate history lesson.

Note the date:

Told ya so

Seems that those who investigate such things have found that not only are the weather data stations that are used for climate data cherry-picked to show a trend of warming, but actually some of the "data" is actually a lie.

Told ya.


ETA: Bore Patch has much much more.....Huge amounts in fact.

Take the time to read THIS POST and follow his links..

As I have been saying.... It is all lies. Lies designed to let someone else control the economies of the major industrialized nations....

And so many of you thought that my tinfoil hat was on a bit too tightly....

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

So in light of all the private planes, limos, etc used by the so called Climate Specialists (or world domination asshole flunkies....take your choice), one might wonder how they justify their behavior...

I mean, how many attendees plane-pooled (like carpooling, only faster and at a higher altitude), Limo Pooled (like plane pooling, only at a slower speed and a lower altitude but with more and more convenient stops), or made any attempt to lower their massive contribution to the Global Warming causing carbon emissions.

Really, if they actually believe that, then they would live the word....walk the talk....

But they don't.

When the Global warming folks pledge to never attend a conference like this again.....But rather use videoconferencing....When they stop flying in private aircraft.....When they carpool....when they stop heating their houses with carbon based fuels (or use electricity generated using carbon based fuels)....When they begin to bicycle to work and only buy food grown locally.....

Until then, I will be a sceptic. Until then, I will not believe the dire warnings....I will not believe in any global warming caused by man, nor the so called danger we and the world are in because of it.

When these people live as they suggest we do, then I will begin to think about deciding to believe....

But I always figured these sorts of gatherings are for them to preen in the light of their "Peer reviewed" reports, congratulate each other in a circle jerk of adulation....and, of course, eat free hor'dourves and caviar and (because it is Copenhagen) aquavit by the glass....All on someone else's dime...

But I think they are just plain everyday hypocrites

The output of a small country

Or, actually, a not too terribly small country.

The carbon output of MOROCCO for an entire year (2006)....Now, I know that Morocco is not the most industrialized, nor the largest, nor the most populated country in the world, but still....

40,584 tons of carbon generated for this one month of "conferences".

If they really believed that mankind was a part of the problem, then, like Bali before, they'd not fly in, but would rather watch the presentations via videoconferencing at major cities around the world.

But they act like either:

Reducing emissions is for the little people, not them,

or

They really don't believe that AGW is an issue.

Set an example, and all that.

ETA:::: "Taking a private jet to a conference on stopping global warming is a bit like traveling in a sedan chair carried by indentured servants to a summit on stopping human trafficking."

It must be a really thankless job.

No one is ever satisfied, especially the Congressional Black Caucus.

Seems that they expected Mr. Obama to give yet more goodies and freebies and handouts to the nations poor downtrodden and ignored African-Americans. Like they don't get enough already. Seems that the CBC wants even more.

Hey, don't look at me like that....Where's MY free cheese?

KThnxBye

"Nah, I think I'll sit this one out..."

Seems that Al the Gore has CANCELLED his appearance at Copenhagen...

Perhaps his busy social schedule leaves no room for such an important meeting as this? I mean, discussion of how to limit CO2 to save the planet from suddenly overheating and all that...?

Perhaps he doesn't want to face a mob waving Hockey Sticks....

Or perhaps he does not want to face an "Inconvenient Truth"....

Climat Gate (more of)

Note the date on THIS article....and read the whole thing. If you are not disturbed by this, then you have the sensibilities of a head of cabbage....and most likely the intellgence and cognitave ability as well.

The men referred are experts at "climate change"....not climate science....

Their whole reason for existence is to find more funding for "climate change", not climate research......It has become a business.

Sadly, that business has influenced the whole economic structure of the free world.

Read the linked article....

It's all about power....money, fueled by propaganda, used by power seekers, funded by taxpayers, for social engineering.

Period.

Still waiting for some real reporting via the MSM.

Checkers Vs. Chess.....

Mr Obama wants a clean quick end to the war win Afghanistan.....So, no doubt, do we all.

But he fails to realize that our opponents in this are long term thinkers. They play chess.

Mr Obama, on the other hand, is thinking like a man used to playing checkers. He is, no doubt, a very skilled checkers player. But this sort of decision is not for those without a longer term strategy. To actually announce that 2011 is our goal (albeit with the caveat that we might have to stay longer) telegraphs to his opponent (AlQueda and others) that all they have to do is wait, and the current regime will lose heart and fail to pay attention long enough to win in the interval.

Were I on the opposite side in Afghanistan, I would take the intervening 2 (+/-) years to reorganize, re-equip, and train, saving my strength for the day when the deadline passes.....At which time, Mr Obama will be under the gun to finish things quickly. He will do nearly anything to meet that goal, even to the point of cut and run, and failure..... I would save my men and materiel for the future, and only pursue a strategy of harassment, never committing or allowing my forces to engage for any length of time, nor ever take risks that might lead to any real defeat or damage to my forces.

Our opponents understand that this will be a long war, and grueling one, and now they know that there will be a point at which the "Great Satan" will decide to leave, job finished or not, leaving the people of Afghanistan to their own devices. Thus leaving a void which they can fill at their leisure.

Make no mistake, I am not sure that we can win in such a place. The people and their culture is foreign to our way of living, and even, perhaps to our understanding. It may be that creating a stable democratic style government is impossible with the afghans at this time. It may be that there needs to be 2 countries rather than on Afghanistan...

Whatever the outcome, it is certain that the Bush Administrations failure to find and neuter Osama Bin Laden was indeed, a failure. After that, the war in Afghanistan became, in my opinion, a waste of men and materiel. Having said that, if we do not prune away the vines of evil continuously in areas such as Afghanistan, they will regrow, and strangle the countries and the people in that region, and regain strength and marshall their forces to strike the western wold once again. Bush (W) knew that, and warned the American people that this would be a long war.

Chess.

Mr Obama told the foes of the US, in Afghanistan, that we would leave in 2 years(more or less) and we have not the strength of will nor the fortitude to continue the fight... He essentially told them how to win.

Checkers.

Now if they can just grow BACON!

Seems that scientist have found a way to grow "meat" in the laboratory.....

Meat. Artificial meat.

MMMMM. Now Vegetarians can enjoy bacon. And Steak. And Porkchops....

Frankenfoods, coming soon to a store near you.
