It’s amazing.  America loves hysteria.  The media feeds hysteria to the public for ratings boost.  Politicians echo hysteria for votes and cash.

The latest hysterical ranting’s center around a natural occurrence of the CO2 exchange between living things and the atmosphere.

The UN meets this week to discuss the climate change and what to do about nothing while spending billions of citizens cash in schemes to get more of that cash.

Read Walter Williams.  An excellent column that is easy to understand for us simple folk out here in the real world of hard working people, unlike the powerful in their plush offices paying lip service to us real people.   Their favorite expression of hysteria is something along the line of “it’s for the children.”  “Protecting the children of the future.”

John Dingell wants a 50-cents-a-gallon tax on gasoline.

He also wants to increase taxes on homes over 3000 sq ft.

Read any of the 31 articles at the National Center for Policy Analysis.

Open your wallet for politicians, or call them to stop the hysteria.

As I se It.

This ought to do it folks.   The homosexual community wants respect and acceptance from the Christian community, from the evangelical community of Bible believers who hold to the truths as presented in scriptures.   And then they go and literally mock and degrade The Last Supper as portrayed by Da Vinci, a true artist.  This is the last straw.

That respect and tolerance can be no more.

They have declared war against the Christian community.

“The bread and wine representing Christ’s broken body and life giving blood are replaced with sadomasochistic sex toys in this twisted version of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper,”  Twisted.  Sick.  As is the gay lifestyle.

If they only knew.

Well, the Concerned Women of America (CWA) “is calling on California politicians — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sens. Feinstein and Boxer among them — to “publicly condemn this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers.”   More ….

And these politicians won’t because of the greatness of the gay lobby.

The gay community is not hesitant about calling out the evangelical Christian stance against homosexuality as being ‘homophobic’ and ‘haters’ of the gays, and then these intolerant gays go and do something like this.   What hypocrisy.

If they only knew.

Warning, this link will take you to really offensive material billed as the home page of “The Folsom Street Fair”.   This is what they are up to.

Where else but in San Francisco. 

Robert Green, a Los Angeles resident, described the event “as a combination freak show and simple excuse for people to just come together and enjoy their fetishes.”   SFGate.com

A Freak show by and for freaks to enjoy each other.

If they only knew.  “foolishness is bound in the heart of a child”.

Take action.  HR 2015 is likely to be voted on this week in the U.S. House. ENDA is aimed at providing heightened protections for a particular sexual behavior- homosexuality. It would grant special consideration on the basis of “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” that would not be extended to other employees in the workplace. That could spell trouble for Christian business owners, churches and faith-based groups. Proponents of the bill quickly point to “religious exemptions” in the bill, but most agree that it is a sham.   AFA.  Call your representative.  Do it.

As I See It.

Peace brother, we’ve got to take major steps very soon to change and protect our humanistic culture of global socialism. Do you possibly see a connection here and the upcoming UN Summit on Climate change?

Headlines grab your attention, the first sentence or two sets the tone of the article, but the meat is down towards the ending. Journalists and politicians know that most of us are very busy people and we let the headline grab us and then we scan the article to get the picture and the major points. That’s it. I don’t have any more time for this.

The headline above would leave us to believe that the majority of the people on this earth want action on climate change. The rich, the poor, the highly educated, the uneducated, the citizens of the poorest countries, the citizens of the richest countries, the oppressed and the free. “Almost two-thirds of the world’s people say there must be urgent action to tackle global warming, a poll for the BBC World Service showed on Tuesday. Overall, 65 percent of the 22,000 people polled in 21 countries said there was a need “to take major steps very soon” ranging from 91 percent in Spain to 37 percent in India.” Reuters. London

Polls are so easy to pick apart, but yet we are drawn to them as a matter of interest, and in this day and age it would be safe to say that our lives are ruled by their results. Politicians love polls (those in their favor anyway) and love to use polls to formulate their agendas. The media love polls because the polls themselves ‘create’ news and many of the large news organizations pay the poll takers to take a poll to substantiate a stance.

I hang up when contacted by one of those uninvited poll takers. I don’t fill them out online. I avoid them in malls. Enough is enough.

This specific article wanted us to feel that the world wants action right now on climate change. Right now. Action. And the US is the worst polluter in the world and resists taking action.

But wait a minute. Wait just a minute. Whoa horsy. The article says: “The poll includes 14 of the 16 major economic powers invited by President Bush to Washington later this week (September 27-28) to discuss climate change and energy security.” The people polled in this survey are the same people who have come to the US to take part in a climate and energy summit. These are not your average person on the streets of the world is what this article would leave you to believe. But that’s misleading and false.

Follow the leads and you will come upon this site, “World Public Opinion.” which leads one to this site Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM) and also to this site The Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) and also to the actual poll questions and responses as recorded here.

There were just five questions in the poll which was actually conducted between May 29th and July 26,2007.

My point is that articles summarizing and pointing to polls are not always correct in the way they portray it to the public to fit into the five second sound bite. Do you really think that your elected officials read in depth all of the information on any particular subject, but yet they make decisions based on polls such as this. These organizations are not totally bias free, nor could they ever be. They were created for a purpose, and that purpose was not to substantiate the Judeo-Christian culture of the past as worthy to be continued into the future. The Center on Policy Attitudes (COPA) is a group of social science researchers that was established in 1992. Its purpose is to give the public a greater voice in the public policy process by seeking to discern public opinion on public policy and to communicate its findings to the policy community, academia and the press. Social science: The study of human society and of individual relationships in and to society, generally regarded as including sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, political science, and history. Secular humanism.

In other words they study human relationships and base their studies on the current trendy thing. Global Climate change is a current trendy thing. And the UN Climate Summit meets this week. Hmmmm. What a coincidence.

Social sciences has given the world the feministic revolution, the sexual revolution, the gay revolution and the now the exploding socialist agendas of globalism. Humanism. Peace brother.

As I See It.

Due up for a vote tomorrow is the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, (SCHIP) and the democrats are in the threatening mode.

“Democratic leaders are using President Bush?s ?you?re with us or against us? campaign strategy to win a veto-proof majority when the House votes Tuesday … “ The Hill “Democrats warned Republicans to vote for the bill, which would expand the SCHIP program, or pay a political price in 2008. The choice, Democratic leaders say, is between providing healthcare to 10 million children or striking them from the SCHIP rolls.”

Well, my friends, this is a bad bill. It’s another expansion of the federal government. $35 billion over a five year period. Has there ever been a government estimation of expenses that has been “on the money”?

The tactics the demos use is downright disgusting.

“Democratic aides also circulated a 2004 campaign advertisement run by Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas), whose challenger opposed SCHIP. The 60-second spot, shot in black-and-white, features a young mother with her 3-year-old daughter, who was thrown off the SCHIP rolls in Texas.
?Look at my little girl,? the mother says in the advertisement, ?[And] tell her why she is not good enough to be taken care of.?

Yes, she was thrown off the program because the mother was good enough to earn more cash, which put her into a higher bracket, but instead she decided not to take out private insurance and have to pay for it herself. She wants the government to continue to pay. She wants all the other tax payers in the country to pay for the health insurance for her precious little girl. Entitlement mentality is running rampant.

I have a previous post on this bill at post number 194.

I always get a kick out of their “creative” funding packages. The funds for this program will come from a 6o cent tax on a pack of cigarettes. This is what I previously said about this. “The Center for disease control pushes for a reduction in cigarette consumption to ?save the children?, while this bill pushes for an increase in cigarette consumption to pay for children?s ?health care for the children.? Makes a lot of sense, right? So, don?t quit smoking, those taxes are needed to pay for the health care for children. The unintended consequences will be a reduction in cigarette consumption and then another tax will be needed to take up the slack, which will be another happy day for the politicians. More power.

We ought to tax the scientists who study global warming to pay for the environmental safeguards needed to combat global climate change.

Many of the ones I’ve heard talk about this bill say that because it ups the income bracket of qualification so that the ones who are now paying for their own health insurance will quit providing their own because they now qualify for SCHIP. Why not? I would. That ‘extra’ cash could provide for another get away vacation.

But now I have to encourage my neighbor to not quit smoking.

As I See It.

Our troops don’t run.   Victory is the only option.  And we know victory when the enemy says “uncle” and the white flag is raised.   Anything else is unacceptable.  It’s either a Judeo-Christian culture or an Islamic fascist culture, and these two do not merge, and never will.   Liberals can say it’s possible, but that does not make it so.  Listen you idiots to what  Ahmadinejad says and watch what he does.

Freedom Watch has put together a full page ad for the NY Times and it targets the enemy, unlike the full page ad of moveon.org, which attacked one of our own.  

The small text of the ad reads:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatens our nation and the freedoms we value. He has supported attacks on our soldiers and our allies. He should be treated as the terrorist that he is.

Yet, while Columbia gives a terrorist like Ahmadinejad a platform to speak, they refuse to allow the ROTC on campus.

What has happened to this prestigious university?

People who support killing Americans are welcome. But the military that defends them is not.

Columbia should be ashamed of its actions.

Freedom?s Watch knows that America and the forces of freedom are right. We know the threat of terrorism is real.

And we know democracy must prevail.

The terrorists and their appeasers are wrong.

Visit Freedom Watch for additional stuff.

Read their condemnation of the moveon ad attacking Gen. Petraeus.

“To judge from the history of mankind, we shall be compelled to
conclude that the fiery and destructive passions of war reign in
the human breast with much more powerful sway than the mild and
beneficent sentiments of peace; and that to model our political
systems upon speculations of lasting tranquillity would be to
calculate on the weaker springs of human character. “

– Alexander Hamilton (Federalist No. 34, 4 January 1788)

Update late Sunday evening:  Now it turns out that this Iranian thug will also meet with “the survivors and bereaved families of the 9-11 incident, journalists and critics of the Bush administration.”  And after his stay in New York he will head to Venezuelan to rub elbows with Hugo Chavez. 

Will Ahmadinejad tell the grieved families that he is sorry for their loss and he had nothing to do with it?   As a good politician, always tell them what they want to hear:  it was all Bush’s fault.

As I see it.

Listening to the spinning machine of the mainstream media and liberal politicians, you would think that our soldiers have to be hog tied and herded into cargo vaults of C-130’s to get them over to Iraq to don personal protective equipment, AK47’s and arms equaling 1/2 their weight so that they could kill innocent women and children in the shadows of empty homes in the desert.

Sure, our young men and women would rather stay home, but men like Eddie Jeffers, just an average guy from an average family, are yet willing to put on all that gear because they realize what could be lost, what is at stake.   They understand.   Why does an ordinary person like Eddie get it, whereas the high and mighty arrogant leftist media, the ignorant hollywood junkies, the idiots at moveon.org and our liberal politicians do not yet understand?

“Bring these kids home now,” is the cry of liberals. Every war is evil. It’s all for the oil. Bush is like Hitler. There is no threat here. Peace brother. Negotiate. Talk. Throw them so money. Free the gitmo detainees. Hang the Haditha bums. Billions spent on a useless war that could be spent on the children’s sex education. Sick. Demented.

In the words of Sgt. Eddie Jeffers. 02/01/2007

I will watch the television and watch the Cindy Sheehans, and the Al Frankens, and the rest of the ignorant sheep of America spout off their mouths about a subject they know nothing about. It is their right, however, and it is a right that is defended by hundreds of thousands of boys and girls scattered across the world, far from home. [snip] People like Cindy Sheehan are ignorant. Not just to this war, but to the results of their idiotic ramblings, or at least I hope they are. They don’t realize its effects on this war. In this war, there are no Geneva Conventions, no cease fires. Medics and Chaplains are not spared from the enemy’s brutality because it’s against the rules. I can only imagine the horrors a military Chaplain would experience at the hands of the enemy. The enemy slinks in the shadows and fights a coward?s war against us. It is effective though, as many men and women have died since the start of this war. And the memory of their service to America is tainted by the inconsiderate remarks on our nation’s news outlets. And every day, the enemy changes…only now, the enemy is becoming something new. The enemy is transitioning from the Muslim extremists to Americans. The enemy is becoming the very people whom we defend with our lives. And they do not realize it. But in denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society…and they are becoming our enemy.

Those are the words of Sgt. Eddie Jeffers, who was killed on Sept 21, 2007 while protecting our right to say the outlandish things our politicians say about what the hero’s and patriots like Eddie Jeffers are doing in Iraq. Eddie understood that our traditional Judeo-Christian culture is far and away superior in every sense to their Islamic fascism.

Read ALL of Sgt. Jeffers letter he penned on Feb. 1, 2007.

Thank You Eddie for your service, for your personal sacrifice. We’ll see you again soon on those streets of gold.

As I See and Understand It all.

Another great one from the idol of the 50’s.  “Ain’t that a Shame”  put him on the top of the world, and now it’s a shame what our schools have become.

Pat has written a fairy tale staring Snow White, Prince Charming and the Seven Dwarfs and their names are Sneaky, Dopey, Smarmy, Angry, Sleazy, Grouchy, and Dork.

You’ll enjoy it.  Just 5 minutes of your time.  “A modern American fairy tale”

The Jena six incident notes are a the bottom of this post.  It’s really too important to let go and not say something about it, but first…

U.S. Public School Superintendent fails English Literacy test….three times.  LAWRENCE, Massachusetts (AP)  Then responds by saying:  ”It bothers me because I’m trying to understand the congruence of what I do here every day and this stupid test,”   I might have used that same phrase when I went to school:  “Nothing but a stupid test anyway.”   “It don’t mean a hill of beans when you get out in real life.”  

And get this.  “Wilfredo Laboy, (the superintendent) who receives a 3 percent pay hike this month that will raise his salary to $156,560, recently put 24 teachers on unpaid administrative leave because they failed a basic English test.”  But he is not put on unpaid leave.   Is he appointed or elected to that position? 

The kids in the Oregon public schools are learning “the Five Pillars of Islam.” put into the  curriculum under World History.  As part of the enlightenment process “class activities have included guest speakers (including an American soldier serving in Iraq and a practicing Muslim woman who is an American citizen living in Mountain Home) who talked about geography, dress, climate, religion, economy and culture and student skits, in which students prepare and perform three- to five-minute skits about the tenets of Islam belief: charity, fasting, prayer, belief, and pilgrimage.”   More….

Question.  Just possibly would there also be instruction about Christianity, or Judaism included in this world history class?   Equal time.  You know part of that “Fairness Doctrine” thing, or was it some kind of a separation thing.   Did I hear a rumble of a jet full of ACLU lawyers rushing off to Nyssa, Ore?

The people at the University of California are extremely worried that the student body and the faculty are not diverse enough.   “Even though Latino, African American and American Indian students account for a growing portion of California’s high school graduates, they remain a small percentage of the UC system’s freshman class.” 

“The report, which was prepared by a study group on university diversity, says the University of California should work harder to increase transfer admissions of underrepresented students — African American, Latino and American Indian — and that the current method of determining freshman admission should be analyzed.” 

They are VERY concerned of what they HAVE to do next to increase diversity….um….ah… well….for diversities sake.  “We have to have faculty that looks like the students that are going to want to come to the University of California,”    More…   Now for Pete’s sake what are they gonna do?   Possibly eliminate entrance exams and place less emphasis on SAT scores.   

To make it to that exact perfect desired percentage, just go into the high schools and “look” at the students and pick and choose.  You.  You.  You.   And You in the back row with that baseball cap on          side-backwards.  You’ll do from this room.  OK onward.   Next school.

Tax dollars at work educating your kids, the leaders of tomorrow.  I guess the greatest generation did not do such a good job educating today’s leaders.   Where did we go wrong?

OK back to Jena Louisiana, a small southern relatively peaceful town of about 4000, 85% white and now a national disgrace.  Google the Jena Six and there are over 3 million references.  A tragedy.  A disgrace all by itself, without the media and Al Sharpton and the marches in California intensifying the entire incident that could have and should have quietly been taken care by the locals.  The school failed.  The prosecutor failed.   The jury failed.   The kids were wrong for hanging the nooses in that tree, that is no more.  The black kids were wrong in pursuing it.  But then the school principal called it just a “prank.”    Everyone failed the kids. 

“The school responded to the protest by calling police and the district attorney. At an assembly the same day, the District Attorney Reed Walters, accompanied by armed policeman, addressed the students.”

“The kids didn’t say anything. They were listening. The kids were quiet. And so, District Attorney Reed Walters, you know, proceeded to tell those kids that ?I could end your lives with the stroke of a pen.? And the kids were just — it was like in awe that the district — you know, Reed Walters would tell these kids that. He held a pen in his hand and told those kids that, ?See this pen in my hand? I can end your lives with the stroke of a pen.?  More…

In other words, kids, just shut up and stop this right here and now.  Or else.   Well, that did not set well.  Additional acts of violence ensued in the following months.   Black on white and white on black.  The school held their stance of a prank gone wild.  The town seemed to think it was overblown.  It escalated into the final blow. 

The school principal should be fired.  The prosecutor should be fired.   They should have been more interested in justice and rightness than in their zero tolerance policies.  We’ve got too many educators who think zero tolerance is a good thing, when in fact, it is the lazy thing.  We’ve got too many prosecutors on an agenda of desiring to appear to be tough by following the “letter of the law,” when in fact they are neglecting the spirit of the law.  Johnny Sutton is one of those.  And District Attorney Reed Walters is also one of those.  Justice is not being done in Jena and the world knows it. 

I do believe that if you do the crime, then get ready to do the time.   But, in our world today, the ‘time’ can mean so many subjective things like intent, motive, and thoughts, and even economic class, and celebrity status influence decisions of the court,  rather than objective realities of yes and no, guilty as charged, but justice must be served.

The kids need to be punished for each act of violence that occurred, but justice needs to be the central concern, not a zero tolerance policy.   These are kids. with their entire future ahead of them and if a lesson is not learned now, then they are without hope of a future.  I believe one of the five black kids already has a rap sheet, so he must be dealt with on those terms.   The others, both white and black, need to learn a lesson about life, about a justice system that can work equally for all.  

And I couldn’t care less what Al thinks.

As I See It.

Mayor Jerry Sanders reversed his position on gay marriage Wednesday, supporting it in emotional remarks punctuated by pauses, shaking sips of water and his wife’s hand resting one time reassuringly on his back.

Feel good politicians leading from the heart.   This kind of thing is happening all over the country, and the world too, as politicians are leading their pack and making decisions based on emotion and things that ”feel good,” rather than on reason and a pledge to obey the Constitution of the land. 

We’ve got a constitution that acknowledges that all men are created equal, then why in the world do politicians feel that they must pick out this group or that group of people and write laws protecting and/or benefiting that group only.  Why?   There is equality under the law, then why are the courts not treating everyone the same?   Well, people do not treat everyone the same.  People are biased.  People like different things.  True, and always will be.  But the government must treat everyone the same, and the courts must. 

Mayor Sanders of San Diego was against gay marriage as a candidate for mayor and that was part of his platform, which probably helped him get elected.  In his 2005 mayoral campaign, Sanders said he supported civil unions and domestic partnerships but not gay marriage.

Wednesday Sanders said:  ?I’ve decided to lead with my heart…[snip]”  There’s more, click here.

Why did he change?  It turns out now that his daughter is a lesbian.

Because of that new fact, he changes his stance.  Suppose he found out that his son, if he has a son, was a pedophile, would he stand in front of the mike and announce he was changing the laws against pedophilia? 

He is not worthy of being a politician and that is how I see it, and from what I read so far, the people of San Diego are not too happy either.

Politicians leading and ruling from the heart, from emotional standpoints.   I venture to say that most Americans, the millions who somehow manage to half-heartedly listen to network news two weeks before the election, will also be swayed by a politicians emotional rhetoric.  That is also why politicians love to parade children in their ads.  “Who could possibly be against the children.”   It stabs your heart.

Now back to gays to finish off this rant.  I’ve heard them say that the purpose of going after “marriage” is to get the same tax benefits that married couples get from the IRS.  Then put your push and shove on your representatives to change the tax codes so that a legal “civil union” will treated the same as marriage for tax purposes.   Then you guys would be happy and us Judeo-Christian traditionalists would be happy. 

As I see it.

Taking over the news from OJ (aka the murderer) is this anticipated upcoming visit of Ahmadinejad (aka Osama Jr.) to the UN (aka corrupt nation) on the 24th, and then possibly to ground Zero, but then also a confirmed visit for a electrifying speech at Columbia University, (aka Socialist U. at Columbia).

A law enforcement source says the Iranian mission to the United Nations has informed the Secret Service that the Iranian president intends to visit Ground Zero Monday at 10 a.m. Whether we like it or not is the latest spin, as at first the NYPD said NO way, but now “It’s something that we are prepared to handle if in fact it does happen.” More….

Too bad that Lee Harvey Oswald is not available for a ring side seat.

I’m wondering if Nancy Pelosi will be his point person on his tour of NY as she already has a good relationship with the fellow. And Rick Warren could advise him on all things spiritual. Be kind. Be sensitive. Be tolerant as he has feelings too. Let Ahmadinejad know just how tolerant and forgiving we as a nation are. Oh, by the way, the liberals are preparing for a hold hands and sing “we are the world” getogether under the Lincoln Memorial and then take Ahmadinejad to Arlington to share the tears of the evils of war. That is all after the UN gets through with him.

Now, I’m good for the rest of the day. Got all of that nasty stuff out.

Forgive me. But I’m not the only one who is telling this thug to

Take Your Wreath and Shove it. The 911 families have done so.

And Michelle Malkin says it is time to organize an Ahmadinejad Welcoming Party. Would that be with balloons and fruit cake?
