Thatcher on the wealth gap

We could use a few politicians like her

The days of future passed - remembering earth day

A few of the choice highlights taken from I hate the media

“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” 

• Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist

“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” 

• Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

• Sen. Gaylord Nelson

“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.” 

• Kenneth Watt, ecologist

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”

• Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

 Same shit, different day....

Great advice for these troubled times

So who said it?

“That’s not part of his power, but this is part of the whole theory of George Bush that he can make laws as he goes along,” Obama said. “I disagree with that. I taught the Constitution for 10 years. I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We’re not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end-run around Congress.”

 Yeah ok the iWon said it and he meant it then. Signing statements are only bad if Republican Presidents named Bush use them, otherwise the use of signing statements is fully constitutional.

The EPA your government at work

The country is in great hands!

Let me get this straight?

So Obama thinks I need to prove my identity to use the internet but don't need to show ID to vote?

WTF?

And now he proposes forcing us to adopt a national internet identity scheme where everyone will be in a central registry? Oh yeah baby what could go wrong with that?

There is at least one adult in the congress

How I hope that this message takes hold

Jackass

Any surprise he's a freaking Dem?  Duty and/or honor is beyond this guy. What a dipshit.

Mark nails it

Andrew, ever since I ran into a spot of bother in Canada, I’ve found myself giving speeches in defense of freedom of expression in Toronto, London, Copenhagen, etc. I did not think it would be necessary quite so soon to take the same stand in the land of the First Amendment against craven squishes of the political class willing to trade core liberties for a quiet life. I have no expectations of Harry Reid or the New York Times, but I have nothing but total contempt for the wretched buffoon Graham. A mob of deranged ululating blood-lusting head-hackers slaughter Norwegian female aid-workers and Nepalese guards — and we’re the ones with the problem?

nailed it, go read the whole thing. Lindsey Graham may be one of the most disgusting rinos in the Senate. He's certainly more than willing to vote away my freedoms so he can feel better. How is that different from any social engineer?

Is Obama's house of cards unraveling?

Not many Senators or Congressmen are this plain spoken.

When it was done Harry Reid adjourned the session rather than allow a vote that likely would have gone against the President. Hacks of a feather stick together.

The silly season will begin this year

Eat the rich part 2

we could start by taking all of Michael Moore's money but that wouldn't cover the costs until noon today...

While I'm on the topic of the almost terminally stupid

the stupid, it burns....

It is interesting to see that commie shill Andrea Mitchell and Feinstein, both of whom have rattled off the "illegal war" in Iraq canard, suddenly talk about how we "declared war" on Iraq. Which is also untrue..we haven't declared war on anyone in decades....

ahh the stupid it burns....

The silver lining

I know that I'm glad that the country is in such great hands. I'll bet that every unemployed & underemployed person in the US is fucking ecstatic that our CO2 emissions are down.

Of course we all know Clair's emissions aren't down, but she did have to pay the back taxes on her private aircraft....once she got caught...taxes are for the little people, so are carbon limits. So as you freeze and starve to death in the dark take heart that people like Clair can still see that silver lining.

Oh the irony!

Text messaging scam?

It's new to me

Leadership

As seen on Drudge this morning:

- Tensions with Britain as Gates rebukes UK government over suggestion Gaddafi could be assassinated

- French propose a new political ‘committee’ to oversee operations

- Germany pulls equipment out of NATO coalition over disagreement over campaign’s direction

- Italians accuse French of backing NATO in exchange for oil contracts

- No-fly zone called into question after first wave of strikes ‘neutralises’ Libyan military machine

- U.K. ministers say war could last ’30 years’

- Italy to ‘take back control’ of bases used by allies unless NATO leadership put in charge of the mission

- Russians tell U.S. to stop bombing in order to protect civilians – calls bombing a ‘crusade’

The vacationer in chief and his teleprompter are busy voting present on this subject. Once again we see how his community agitator roots play out in the Presidency, he agitated, then walked away because leading is actually hard work. You have to do those "D" word things like decide or do. How uncomfortable that must be for someone who apparently thought that being President was the political equivalent of "American Idol" without all that pesky singing and stuff. Community agitators just agitate, they don't actually do anything themselves, they produce nothing more than tension and chaos. They're consultants who tell others what they should be doing and then walk away without getting their tender hands dirty. Can't interrupt the old golf game or my taxpayer paid vacation to bask in the adoration of the mobs of the 3rd world.

There's an old saying "Never do an enemy a small hurt" or perhaps "If you strike the king, you must kill him". Sage advice. Unless you're a Democrat. Or an idiot, but I repeat myself.

Obama's lack of leadership is almost criminal. In that leadership vacuum we see just how decisive the Europeans are, which is not at all. Behind the very thin veneer of civility in the EU lie the old grudges. Could this break up NATO? Possible but not likely, but it certainly doesn't bode well for future cooperation within the alliance. Meanwhile Qaddafi now has a new grudge of his own to nurse against the west. How long before it starts raining airliners again?

It's amateur hour in the White House and the President is busy playing tourist. Meanwhile the world burns. I've seen more leadership in a pack of girl scouts. No doubt he'll be heading back to Norway soon for another Nobel.
