Rep. Issa: Obama's refusal to investigate 'Climategate' emails is 'unconscionable' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Amen!!! Their true motives begin to become clear!

Rep. Issa: Obama's refusal to investigate 'Climategate' emails is 'unconscionable' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room:

The U.N.'s decision this week to investigate whether some of its climate change research had been manipulated constitutes a 'direct rebuke' of the Obama administration, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Friday.

The White House's unwillingness to open a similar inquiry could now only be characterized as 'a sad abdication of their responsibility to ensure that U.S. policies are not driven by corrupted science and data,' the congressman added."

Denmark, which hosts the UN climate change conference next week, is often seen as one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world. This reputation is mostly undeserved, but Denmark is doing its best to catch up."

Parliamentary Speaker: Climate debate derailed? - Politiken.dk

Parliamentary Speaker: Climate debate derailed? - Politiken.dk:

As the world prepares to converge on Copenhagen for the COP15 Climate Summit, Denmark’s Speaker of Parliament has expressed serious doubts as to the way in which the climate debate has developed.

“The problem is that lots of people go around saying that the climate change we see is a result of human activity. That is a very dangerous claim,” Parliamentary Speaker and former Finance Minister Thor Pedersen (Lib) tells DR."

Day Fourteen and Counting

Day Fourteen and Counting:

Alexandria, VA – For the fourteenth straight day, the three broadcast networks have failed to report on the great and growing ClimateGate scandal on their weekday morning or evening news programs. How to explain this?

Perhaps it is that ABC, NBC and CBS have not yet heard of the story, despite two weeks of non-stop reporting on and discussion of ClimateGate in a whole host of media outlets.

Perhaps the broadcast networks only trust their fellow liberal press outlets, like the New York Times. Perhaps they don’t realize the Times exhibited journalistic diligence on ClimateGate, with a front page story the day the story broke."

Obama’s West Point Address

Obama’s West Point Address:

Some folk have been asking why Canada Free Press (CFP) didn’t cover President Barack Obama’s Tuesday night speech at West Point Military Academy.

CFP was tuned in on the speech through Mark Levin’s syndicated radio show."

Matthews Calls West Point, Site of Obama Speech 'The Enemy Camp,' 'Strange Venue' | NewsBusters.org

As I have said over and over....these people view our military as "Props".....

Matthews Calls West Point, Site of Obama Speech 'The Enemy Camp,' 'Strange Venue' | NewsBusters.org:

Either MSNBC 'Hardball' host Chris Matthews let one slip tonight, or it was an extremely poor choice of words.

Following President Barack Obama's Dec. 1 speech, which he announced his intentions for increasing troop levels in Afghanistan, MSNBC followed with wrap-up coverage of his speech with arguably three of their most prominent on-air personalities - 'Countdown' host Keith Olbermann, 'The Rachel Maddow Show' host Rachel Maddow and Matthews."

Bozell Column: Clubbing Navy SEALs | NewsBusters.org

THIS is an OUTRAGE!!! Nobody is reporting it! PLEASE forward so this can gather steam!!!

Bozell Column: Clubbing Navy SEALs | NewsBusters.org:

Last week, Fox News reported a jaw-dropping story about how our War on Terror has now become a war on ourselves. In September a team of Navy SEALs captured terrorist Ahmed Hashim Abed, a man known to the U.S. military as 'Objective Amber,' the architect of the vicious and deadly attack on four American contractors in the summer of 2004. These poor men were shot, burned, and then their bodies were desecrated, hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River.

But instead of hailing the SEALs as heroes for bringing this vicious murderer to justice, three of them have been brought up on charges."

ABC's David Wright Slams 'Fancy' Sarah Palin for 'Traveling in Style,' Flying on Private Jet:

ABC’s David Wright again attacked Sarah Palin on Tuesday, slamming her for using a private jet for her book tour. On Good Morning America, he sniped, 'But, while her fans camped out in the bitter cold, just for the chance to meet her, the former vice presidential candidate was quietly traveling in style, aboard this Gulfstream II private jet. Price tag, $4,000 an hour.'"

Rove Fires Back at Lauer Charge That Bush Administration 'Took Its Eye Off the Ball' in Afghanistan

Rove Fires Back at Lauer Charge That Bush Administration 'Took Its Eye Off the Ball' in Afghanistan:

Previewing the President's speech tonight, NBC's Matt Lauer invited on Karl Rove, on Tuesday's Today show, and pressed the former White House senior adviser if the reason Afghanistan still required the U.S.'s attention is because the previous administration 'took its eye off the ball in Afghanistan,' and 'concentrated too heavily on Iraq.' Rove hit back, accusing Lauer and Bush administration critics of 'revisionism.' And later, when Lauer questioned if there were enough 'resources' to counter the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan Rove fired back that any one in the Obama administration was in no position to criticize:"

Why Are Conservatives So Quick To Eat Their Own?

Why Are Conservatives So Quick To Eat Their Own? NewsReal Blog:

I must admit that this entire controversy (conservative feeding frenzy?) surrounding Governor Mike Huckabee’s commutation of Maurice Clemmons’ sentence back in 2000 makes me a bit queasy. Am I the only one that thinks the vitriol and condemnation of Huckabee over this is way over-the-top? Let’s take a step back from the beat-down for just a moment and examine the situation objectively, shall we? Most everyone knows the facts surrounding the killings by now. If you don’t, see here and here. All reasonable people can agree that this is a horrific crime which could have been prevented if the criminal justice system had worked properly. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with the families of these slain officers. Nevertheless, to single out Huckabee as the party most responsible in this matter is patently absurd."

Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online

Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online:

Is there any way of getting Obama to reverse himself on KSM? If I’ve heard that question once, I’ve heard it a thousand times since Attorney General Eric Holder’s announcement that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 plotters will be transferred to New York City for a trial in the civilian justice system.

My answer has been the same each time: We absolutely can get President Obama to reverse this decision. We’ve done it before."

Opinion: Searching in Vain for the Obama Magic - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International:

Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America's new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric -- and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught.

One can hardly blame the West Point leadership. The academy commanders did their best to ensure that Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama's speech would be well-received.

Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond 'enthusiastically' to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool."

The White House Takes On Politico

The White House Takes On Politico - The Atlantic Politics Channel:

It's not just Fox News that's become subject of White House derision. The following is an excerpt from a joke e-mail that is circulating among White House staffers. It's a response, of sorts, to the analytical essay that Politico editor-in-chief John Harris wrote about the 'seven stories that Barack Obama doesn't want told.' It's fairly caustic -- and, truth be told, the White House maintains good relationships with Politico reporters and has been known to try to agenda-set by dishing out a few tips to the publication. But make no mistake: many on the White House senior staff dislike Politico's brand of journalism, and they do not like the effect that Politico's metabolism has on the rest of the press corps, including this (i.e., my own) corner of it. Still, don't read too much into this. There's been plenty of back-and-forth between the White and the Politico, and the White House accepts the role -- which is often substantial -- that Politico plays in the newsgathering process."

NEW DOCUMENTS REVEAL: White House, NEA Had Big Plans In Motion Before Being Exposed

Big Hollywood - Blog Archive - NEW DOCUMENTS REVEAL: White House, NEA Had Big Plans In Motion Before Being Exposed:

Inciting is usually a telegraphed endeavor, with rhetoric yelled to an audience through a megaphone held by a coarse, weathered hand. But it can also be delivered subtly, with a soft voice and a wink, in the name of doing good.

Subtlety is necessary if a federal agency intends to incite activists to take action on the hot issues of the moment. This approach is what we see when we look at the most recent documents acquired by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of the controversial August 10th conference call."

UK climate scientist to temporarily step down

UK climate scientist to temporarily step down:

LONDON (AP) - Britain's University of East Anglia says the director of its prestigious Climatic Research Unit is stepping down pending an investigation into allegations that he overstated the case for man-made climate change.

The university says Phil Jones will relinquish his position until the completion of an independent review into allegations that he worked to alter the way in which global temperature data was presented."

The American Spectator : Don't Count America Out

The American Spectator : Don't Count America Out:

Is the United States in inexorable economic decline, destined to be overshadowed by an emerging Chinese economic superpower? This seems to be a popular view among commentators of various political persuasions. I am happy to report, however, that America's economic demise is not around the corner."

Editorial: Unhappy ending for an unnecessary story - The Delaware County Daily Times : Serving Delaware County, PA(DelcoTimes.com):

Four and a half years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was OK for the city of New London, Conn., to force 15 working-class families out of their homes to make way for a riverfront hotel and office complex. The high court decided taking the homes by eminent domain was allowable so the city could enhance its tax revenues.

The Supreme Court was the last resort for the families, who thought their homes and neighborhood should not be sacrificed on the altar of the corporate gods.

Just how did all that litigation turn out for New London, its residents and its tax base?"

American Thinker Blog: Should Dick Cheney run in 2012?

American Thinker Blog: Should Dick Cheney run in 2012?:

Short answer; no. His well known heart problems would kill any chances of success. I seriously doubt questions about his health could ever be put to rest no matter how many doctors swore he was fit.

Beyond that, there is no doubt that Cheney would make a great president. He would be the 'Anti-Obama,' possessing qualities exactly the opposite of our current president while outshining him in wisdom and fortitude.

Leaving the health issue aside, could he win the nomination? Jon Meacham of Newsweek takes a serious look at why Cheney would be a good candidate:"

American Thinker: Terrorist Criminal Trials and the Coming Jihad:

After the bombing of the American embassy in Nairobi, the police found amid the belongings of one of the perpetrators the list of the unindicted co-conspirators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York. The list had been submitted to the lawyers for the defendant, Sheik Abdel Rahman, and signed by Mary Jo White, the United States Attorney. Under the rules of discovery in a criminal trial, the defendant had every right to the list. If you read through the names of the unindicted co-conspirators, one name will jump off the page and grab your attention. It is Number 95: Osama bin Ladin."

American Thinker: The Mathematics of Global Warming

American Thinker: The Mathematics of Global Warming:

The forecasts of global warming are based on the mathematical solutions of equations in models of the weather. But all of these solutions are inaccurate. Therefore no valid scientific conclusions can be made concerning global warming. The false claim for the effectiveness of mathematics is an unreported scandal at least as important as the recent climate data fraud. Why is the math important? And why don't the climatologists use it correctly?"

American Thinker: The Ghost of Lysenko

American Thinker: The Ghost of Lysenko:

The imaginary science of manmade global warning can now be entered into the infamous history of politicized science, a travesty which has threads in our lives today. Consider the residue of such frauds as Rachel Carson, Alfred Kinsey and Margaret Mead. Carson's invented findings and unscientific methods led to the banning of DDT, which in turn cost the lives of tens of millions of children in undeveloped nations. Kinsey's tortuously doctored 'sex research,' as Dr. Judith Riesman has so amply demonstrated, was not only invented to sate his perverted lusts but created scientific myths about normal and abnormal behavior which haunt us to this day."

7 stories Barack Obama doesn't want told - John F. Harris - POLITICO.com

7 stories Barack Obama doesn't want told - John F. Harris - POLITICO.com:

Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds.

No one understands this better than Barack Obama and his team, who won the 2008 election in part because they were better storytellers than the opposition. The pro-Obama narrative featured an almost mystically talented young idealist who stood for change in a disciplined and thoughtful way. This easily outpowered the anti-Obama narrative, featuring an opportunistic Chicago pol with dubious relationships who was more liberal than he was letting on."

Leaked emails won't harm UN climate body, says chairman | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Really? Only if we turn a deaf ear! For ONCE - hacking works! It certainly exposed this fraud. This "science" seems to have one goal....not the Earth's care...but their own pockets....

Leaked emails won't harm UN climate body, says chairman | Environment | guardian.co.uk:

There is 'virtually no possibility' of a few scientists biasing the advice given to governments by the UN's top global warming body, its chair said today.

Rajendra Pachauri defended the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the wake of apparent suggestions in emails between climate scientists at the University of East Anglia that they had prevented work they did not agree with from being included in the panel's fourth assessment report, which was published in 2007."

Climate change data dumped - Times Online

Climate change data dumped - Times Online: "

SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation."

HHS would become federal giant under Senate plan | Washington Examiner

HHS would become federal giant under Senate plan | Washington Examiner:

A quick search of the Senate health bill will bring up 'secretary' 2,500 times.

That's because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would be awarded unprecedented new powers under the proposal, including the authority to decide what medical care should be covered by insurers as well as the terms and conditions of coverage and who should receive it.

'The legislation lists 1,697 times where the secretary of health and humans services is given the authority to create, determine or define things in the bill,' said Devon Herrick, a health care expert at the National Center for Policy Analysis."
