The UN Climate Tribunal
Nov 2, 2015 Political
Don’t be confused tribunal is a fancy word for court. The climate NAZIs want to impose restrictions on wealthy countries in order to redistribute their wealth to poorer nations.
China and India are very happy about the prospect because they will be deemed poor nations even though China holds a TRILLION dollars of US debt and produces 17% more carbon than the US (as if carbon output is really a bad thing).
There is no doubt Barack Obama and John Kerry are trying to do an end run around Congress and put this tribunal in place so they can finally claim a victory in the foreign policy arena.
Though I would not call this a victory they certainly would and after their series of foreign policy disasters they need something to point to and claim a victory.
The idea is for the UN to be able to decide climate change issues and who has to pay.
The UN will force wealthy nations (as if any country with $20 TRILLION in debt and $100 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities can be called wealthy) to pay poorer nations. The UN will decide and we will pay.
According to the proposed draft text of the climate treaty, the tribunal would take up issues such as “climate justice,” “climate finance,” “technology transfers,” and “climate debt.” WND
Keep in mind the taxpayer will fork over money for this.
The UN is a terrible organization and we should kick it out of our country and leave it so we do not have to put up with its terror.
And we should prosecute those in our government who push this on us.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Taxes For You But Not For Me
Jun 17, 2014 Political
Liberals love to talk about disparity and wealth redistribution. People like Barack Obama like to say that at one point he feels you have made enough so you should pay more in taxes as if he is the arbiter of what is enough. He is not alone in the liberal world. Bill and Hillary Clinton love to discuss how terrible America is with regard to taxes and how the evil rich people should just pay more.
[note]The wealthy in this country pay most of the federal taxes in this country.[/note]
The interesting thing about all this is that these liberals do not put their money where their mouth is. John Kerry selected the box on the MA state tax form to pay at the lower rate and docked his yacht in another state to avoid taxes.
Barack Obama diverts some of his money to his children to avoid taxes on it.
Bill and Hillary Clinton, the liberal dream team, use every part of the law possible to avoid taxes.
Take the inheritance tax. That is the one where the government taxes your estate at about 40%. This means that after you pay taxes all your life the money that you already paid taxes on is taxed again at 40% when you die.
The government snaps 40% off the top before your heirs get what you left them. There are some limits so that only the higher estates are taxed but this is the group that liberals have been after all along and it is the group that many of them are in.
The Clintons are well into the 1% with their millions of dollars and their income is in the range they target when they espouse their redistribution schemes.
But, and this is a big but, when it comes to their own wealth the Clintons have set up trusts in order to avoid paying taxes. This is not to suggest they are doing anything illegal. The tax code allows it (and ALL politicians ensure the tax code helps their own wallets) and I have no problem with that.
What I have a problem with is that the people who are always demanding that the rich pay more are the very ones who work to avoid that same fate.
All wealthy politicians work to reduce their tax burden (as well as the wealthy in general) so Bush, Romney, Buffett, Obama, and Clinton all work the tax code to ensure their burden is as small as possible. Even Harry Reid who famously claimed that Mitt Romney did not pay taxes games the system.
The big difference for me is that Romney, Bush and other wealthy conservatives (or those at least more conservative than the liberals) work to lower the amount of taxes everyone pays so we can all enjoy the same breaks as they. Liberals, on the other hand, work tirelessly to increase taxes on the wealthy (and everyone else) in order to fuel their insatiable appetite for OPM (Other People’s Money).
If they are going to demand more be paid by the wealthy then they should pay the absolute highest amount possible and lead by example.
[note]Bill Clinton once said he did not pay enough in taxes as a rich guy but he sure works hard to pay as little as possible.[/note]
But they won’t because they are above the fray. They are special and we just don’t understand how it really is. You know, I even heard that Hillary and Bill left the White House dead broke. That little fact did not prevent them from purchasing a house that was more than a MILLION dollars or having one in DC that was about 5 MILLION.
No, they have no idea how life is for the real folks because these people have lived off the taxpayer for nearly their entire lives.
Now they take advantage of the tax system to avoid what they want to do to everyone else in their income brackets.
Can you say hypocrisy? How about elitist?
Cave canem!

Amateur Hour At The White House
Sep 9, 2013 Political
First Barack Obama makes an unwise comment about a red line and now John Kerry has given a deadline. Both of these deeds have come back to bite America in the behind.
I know that Barack Obama said he did not lay out the red line but he did. It is he who is saying it and there is no doubt about what he meant when he did. All of his claims to the contrary are designed to help him save face because he is trying to put the blame on someone else. He put it on Congress and he put it on the international community (which refuses to back him) but the reality is that Obama opened his mouth and inserted his foot.
He claims the onus is on the international community because of the Chemical Weapons Convention but the reality is that Syria never signed that treaty. How can that country be held to a treaty it did not sign?
The other aspect of this is that Syria’s use of nerve agent had no impact on the US. That country did not attack us, it did not attack our territories and it did not attack our troops. It attacked its own people (and there is doubt as to who actually attacked, the government or the rebels).
This is Syria’s civil war and we do not belong in it.
But Obama and his Democrats are banging the war drums. John Kerry, who protested the war in Vietnam, is working hard to convince people that the US needs to attack Syria. The Democrats who were anti war when Bush was president are largely silent over the rumblings of war coming from their Nobel Peace Prize receiving president.
It is amateur hour at the White House. Obama made the first mistake by laying out the red line and now John Kerry has shot himself in the foot by opening his mouth.
Kerry said that Syria could avoid an attack by turning its chemical weapons over to the international community (where they would be inventoried and destroyed). Kerry, like Obama, miscalculated. Obama figured if he set the red line that Syria would not use chemical weapons. Someone did and it was either the government spitting in Obama’s face or the rebels using Obama’s declaration to draw the US into the conflict and help them beat Assad.
Kerry figured Syria would not turn over its chemical stockpile. Not so fast. Russian President Vladmir Putin told Syria to take Kerry up on his offer and Syria is considering it.
It is unlikely that the chemical weapons will be turned over BUT the gaffe by Kerry gives that country time. Syria can say it will turn over the stockpile and then the UN will get involved and there will be inspectors. It will take months, if not years, to sort things out.
John Kerry opened his big mouth and gave Syria a get out of being bombed free card.
It is not bad when one considers we should not be bombing Syria over its use of chemical weapons when we were not attacked in any way but the entire episode shows the Obama regime to be a bunch of amateurs who are piss poor at diplomacy.
Obama opened his mouth resulting in talks of bombing Syria for the sole purpose of saving face for the resident and Kerry has now thrown a monkey wrench into the Obama war machine by giving Syria a way out.
A way out that was recognized by Putin who took advantage of the rookies in the White House.
The world is laughing at us and our man child resident who is demonstrating that he was not prepared for the job and has not learned anything in the five years he has held it.
The bad guys in the world will be emboldened.
But not until after they stop laughing.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Failure Leads To Iranian Missile Launch
Mar 8, 2009 Political
Iranian media are reporting that Iran has test fired an air to surface missile that is designed to be shot from aircraft at naval vessels. I guess Iran believes that it would have aircraft left to shoot anything if it provokes confrontation with the US.
The test fire of the missile coupled with Obama’s capitulation to Russia regarding an anti missile defense system in Poland (for the purpose of defending against Iran) means that the Obama administration has failed in its diplomatic endeavor. While Obama was busy trying to build a Socialist US and giving cutesy buttons to Russia (are we not trying to keep them from PUSHING a button) he took his eyes off Iran and now that country is flexing its muscle, all with the backing of Russia.
I know that those on the left will not see it this way and somehow they will find a way to blame this on George Bush but that is not how they looked at the North Korean nuclear tests. The left said that the tests were a result of failed diplomacy on the part of the then president.
If that is the case then one can only conclude that missile tests by Iran and rebukes by Russia are a failure of Obama’s attempts at diplomacy.
The North Korean nuclear tests are discussed at The Friends Committee on National Legislation, The Talking Points Memo, and The Democratic Underground.
Remember, it was John Kerry who said that Bush had ignored the nuclear nightmare happening in North Korea but said the US should offer nuclear fuel to Iran in exchange for it abandoning its fissile material production complex.
So, Clinton gave the North Koreans the heavy water reactor, Kerry wanted to give Iran nuclear fuel, North Korea used the equipment to develop a nuke and test it, the Iranians enrich their own fuel and are now testing missiles that could be used to deliver nukes and to shoot at naval vessels and I am willing to bet that somehow this will all be Bush’s fault.
How long will it take these organizations, the Drive By Media and Obama supporters like Kerry to conclude that Obama has failed in his diplomatic efforts?
Don’t hold your breath…

Kerry Was for McCain Before He Was Against Him
Jul 7, 2008 Political
It is always interesting to see how people act in politics. No matter how principled they claim to be, politicians always seem to sell themselves out for political expediency. Look at the way Hillary and Obambi came together after all the mud slinging and name calling. John Kerry (he was in Vietnam) is no different and we have seen it a number of times. His latest is an assertion that John McCain lacks the judgment to be president.
This is the same John Kerry who wanted McCain to be his running mate in 2004. The vice president needs to be ready to take over for the president in the event the president becomes incapacitated. John Kerry certainly felt that John McCain had the judgment to do just that in 2004.
Kerry claims that McCain has changed in the last four years. While I agree that some of McCain’s positions have changed they do not preclude him from having the judgment to serve as president. John McCain has not changed his positions nearly as much as Kerry or as Obama and yet Kerry felt he had the judgment to be president and he would have us believe that Obama has better judgment than McCain.
John Kerry will say or do anything to ensure Obama wins in November. That is all well and good but perhaps he should look up the meaning of the word integrity and see if he can muster up a little of it. Kerry lacks any ethical principles and demonstrates this by turning on McCain for political gain.
John Kerry was for McCain before he was against him…
