Al Gore Will Say This is a Lie
Feb 15, 2007 Uncategorized
There is an Inconvenient Truth out there for Al Gore and all the other tree hugging environmentalists who believe that the Global Warming debate has been settled and talk about the theory as if it is proven fact. An interesting article appeared today and the environmental wackos are not going to like it:
A new report on climate over the world’s southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models.
This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth’s climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity.
It also follows a similar finding from last summer by the same research group that showed no increase in precipitation over Antarctica in the last 50 years. Most models predict that both precipitation and temperature will increase over Antarctica with a warming of the planet. EurekAlert
Be sure to read the rest of the story, it will “warm you all over.”

Congressional Genitals in the News
Feb 14, 2007 Uncategorized
A former Republican Congressman was issued a citation for exposing his genitals to two women at a Florida beach resort. Joseph M. McDade who is 75 was charged with a crime that carries a $1000 fine and up to a year in jail.
In other news, Congressman Keith Ellison of Minnesota demonstrated that he has no genitals when he called the police on Congressman Tom Tancredo for smoking a cigar in his office. While I do not agree with the rules, members of Congress are allowed to smoke in their offices. To me, that rule is another example of how they make rules that apply to everyone else but them. No other Federal employees are allowed to smoke in their offices. Regardless, this is allowed so there should be no problem with it.
That is until Keith Ellison, who occupies an office next to Tancredo, decided he did not like the smell of the cigar smoke. Instead of being a man and walking next door or picking up the phone and calling Tancredo, one of his staffers called the Capitol Police. The officer made it clear he did not want to be there but was obligated to investigate the call. He informed Ellison’s office that Tancredo was allowed to smoke in his office but had to investigate it nonetheless. Ellison should have acted like a man but instead chose to show the world he has no balls.
So here we have this freshman Congressman who is a Muslim crying about the smoke smell. I do not know if this is based on the smell, his religious convictions, or both but the fact is, members are allowed to smoke and there really is nothing he could do about it. Nothing that is, except maybe be neighborly. I am willing to bet that if he had contacted Tancredo and told him that the smoke bothered him they could have worked something out. I imagine it will be a cold day in hell before Tancredo worries about whether or not his cigar smoke bothers Ellison.
This is typical for a Muslim. Show up and demand that people do things your way. Demand that they change things because you do not like it. I imagine the call to the police was the preemptive strike so he can have CAIR and the other terrorist supporters have a rally for him and decry how he is being treated badly because he is a Muslim. If I were Tancredo I would smoke 4 or 5 cigars a day whenever Ellison was in his office.
I have an even better idea. Once a week Tancredo should have a pork BBQ in his office with a buffet set up for his staff. They could have pork ribs, pork BBQ, pork chops, pork rinds, and anything else they can think of. That smell wafting through the place should drive Ellison absolutely nuts. Before long he will declare a full scale jihad against Tancredo.
Perhaps they could use a Koran to set the hot plates on.

We Need Conservatives Who are Leaders
Feb 14, 2007 Political
This is the post I wrote for Tom DeLay’s website. Please visit there and look at what others have to say.
A great deal has been made of the results of the last election and what the root causes for Republican losses really were. The Democrats constantly cite the results as a referendum on the war on terror in Iraq. They falsely believe that Americans are so disgusted with what is going on that they [the Democrats] were put in charge to bring our troops home and end the war. Ann Coulter wrote an interesting piece the day after the election where she pointed out that the change was more in line with following historical voting trends than anything else but that has not kept the Democrats from beating their anti-war drums and using the election as a bellwether for their desire to bring our troops home in defeat. Unfortunately, many Republicans in Congress have bought into the idea that the war caused their losses and they have abandoned conservatism and leadership and are now acting like the cut and run Democrats.
Despite the historical trends the Republicans were directly responsible for their losses. They could have easily bucked history and maintained control had they displayed and lived conservative values and had they demonstrated leadership. Their desire to be reelected led them to abandon conservative principles and, in effect, abandon leadership. As the election results showed, this was not the correct method of winning.
Conservative principles succeed every time they are tried. There is no doubt that conservatism demands higher standards and that people who live conservatively must make tougher choices. It is so much easier to abort a child than take responsibility. It is easier to redistribute wealth than foster an environment where all people can succeed and it is easier for people to sit back and accept handouts than to work for what they need. The aftermath of hurricane Katrina demonstrated the ugly truth about liberal programs and their effect on people. Katrina showed us that people who learn to live off the government are unable to take decisions on their own behalf. How many people stood knee deep in water looking around for someone to come get them rather than exerting the effort to move themselves to the safety of dry land? There is no doubt that people who learn self reliance are better able to handle the dangers of life.
Leadership is the cornerstone of the foundation of government. We the people elect those who we want to represent us. We put them in office to lead this country and to do things that are in the best interest of all its citizens not just the small groups of special interest victims. People have a desire to be led and in the absence of true leaders they will look to anyone who sounds like a leader regardless of that person’s abilities. The Germans of the 1930s were so desperate for leadership they put a maniacal person in charge of them. He sounded good to them in the absence of true leaders and the world paid for their mistake.
In order to win and stay in power the Republican Party must find candidates who espouse, through word and deed, the principles of conservatism. They must not only be conservative, they must also be true leaders. There must be no doubt in the minds of the American people that they are leaders and that they will do what is right and that they will provide strong leadership through the best of times as well as the worst. This is no easy task because the American people have seen a Republican party become energized through Ronald Reagan and the Republican revolution of the 80s and 90s only to watch their capital erode as more and more Republican leaders became like their Democratic counterparts. Republicans became what they evicted in 1994 and the public did not like it.
Leadership is the ability to influence people to willingly follow. True leaders inspire those led and foster excitement for the leader’s views. In our military true leaders have followers who will walk with them through the gates of hell without question and without hesitation. Unfortunately, there are few if any leaders in the Republican Party who inspire that kind of devotion. It is time for those who fit these qualifications to rise to the top. It is time for those who realize that pandering is not leadership to step up to the plate. It is time for the Republican Party to field a team of leaders that will not succumb to the evil of money and influence and who will not sell their values for votes. It is time for us to rid ourselves of those who are not conservative and who can not lead.
The inability to do this has a one word result:
Hillary.

Global Warming Hearing Cancelled Due to Ice Storm
Feb 14, 2007 Uncategorized
There was supposed to be a hearing today on Global Warming at the Rayburn House Office Building in DC. The hearing is entitled “Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?â€
The hearing was cancelled because a snowstorm was followed by an ice storm and the entire region is covered with a wintry mix of nastiness. All area schools are closed, colleges are closed and government offices are closed or on a reduced work schedule.
Traffic is tied up, accidents are every where and people have decided to stay home for the day.
All of this on the day a Global Warming Hearing was set to begin. It is amazing how many people blindly follow this Global Warming idea even with contradictory evidence slapping them in the face like a cold northeastern wind.
