The shocking lesson from the climate scandal

American Thinker | by Monte Kuligowski | Dec. 12, 2009

Whether we’re talking about science fiction or some other subject, we must not forget that no matter how absurd the idea, once it becomes the “consensus” liberals will never admit they are wrong. […]

President Obama’s complete lack of concern for the fraudulent science associated with global warming is contrasted with the common sense of Sarah Palin. The gutsy Alaskan suggested that Obama ought to hold his horses on the whole climate change thing until The real verdict is in. Of course, the smartest man in the world will have none of that.

Left Destroys More than It Creates

Watching the left attempting to undo the greatness of American medicine and dismantle the unprecedentedly powerful American economic engine built almost entirely on non-governmental entrepreneurial effort, I realize once again that the left is far better at destroying than building.

I first realized this as I watched the left — and here I sadly include the whole organized left from liberal to far left — do whatever it could to destroy one of the most wonderful organizations in American life, the Boy Scouts of America. From Democratic city governments to the New York Times and other liberal editorial pages to the most destructive organization on the left, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), there has been the most concerted effort to break the Boy Scouts.

Hockey stick observed in NOAA ice core data

Watts Up With That? | by John Griffing | Dec. 12, 2009

One thing that Climategate does is give us an opportunity to step back from the details of the AGW argument and say, maybe these are heat-of-the-moment stuff, and in the long run will look as silly as the Durants’ allergy to Eisenhower. And perhaps, if we can put climate arguments in perspective, it will allow us to put the much smaller nano arguments (pun intended) into perspective too. [Read more…]

Greek Communists: “Kill the Rich”

Greek Communists Kill the Rich

In case anyone was wondering what communists think of anyone who has the motivation and drive to start a business, run a company, or “make money” in a free-market economy, check out the “Kill the Rich” graffiti on this statute in Greece. Interestingly enough, the Athens statute the leftists chose to deface is that of an Orthodox Christian hierarch.

Greeks fear times will get tougher
BBC News | Dec. 10, 2009

Fears that Greece will be unable to pay off its debts, after a cut in its credit rating, are reflected by a deep pessimism on the streets, says Philip Pangalos in Athens.

Most ordinary Greeks are increasingly fed up with government pledges to deal with the country’s mounting fiscal woes, the reality that tougher times lie ahead and that they will probably have to foot the bill. [Read more…]

Carbonhagen: World Leaders Drive to Climate Summit in Gas-Guzzling Luxury Fleet

Fox News | Dec. 7, 2009

World leaders and VIPs began pouring into Copenhagen Monday morning for the city’s long-awaited climate summit, arriving in style in a fleet of gas-guzzling limos and luxury cars.

Most delegates to the climate change conference haven’t exactly been hoofing their way to Denmark’s capital, swarming the city’s airport with 140 private jets, 1,200 hired limousines and a carbon footprint the size of a small country. [Read more…]

Watermelon Marxists

American Thinker | by John Griffing | Dec. 8, 2009

Global warming as a science is defunct. Evidence of scientific dishonesty abounds, and the recent e-mail revelations may be the last nail in the coffin. When all is said and done, temperatures are falling.

But as a tool for watermelon Marxists — green on the outside and red on the inside — climate change orthodoxy represents an opportunity to achieve age-old dreams of communist wealth redistribution. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to Cass Sunstein, Obama’s new regulatory czar and perhaps the most powerful bureaucrat in America:

It is even possible that desirable redistribution is more likely to occur through climate change policy than otherwise, or to be accomplished more effectively through climate policy than through direct foreign aid.

Obama’s Buggery Czar, Kevin Jennings

The Washington Times | Dec. 8, 2009

The media is trying to keep this story in the closet, but it’s important not to wink at all the serious problems surrounding President Obama’s controversial “safe schools czar,” Kevin Jennings.

Mr. Jennings is the moral malefactor who gave a speech about how he merely advised a 15-year-old high-school sophomore who was having sex with an older man that, “I hope you knew to use a condom.” He knew the boy had met the adult in a bus-station restroom. Mr. Jennings also expressed admiration for Harry Hay, a notorious and extremely prominent supporter of the North American Man Boy Love Association. “One of the people that’s always inspired me is Harry Hay,” he said. Despite numerous requests to the Obama administration and Mr. Jennings, we have not received any answers to inquiries about these troubling issues. [Read more…]

Obama Would Like to Neuter Christmas

More insights into who Obama is and what he believes. A big thank you to our Catholic brothers for bringing this travesty to our attention!

Catholic League | Dec. 7, 2009

In yesterday’s New York Times, there was an article about White House social secretary Desirée Rogers. In it, reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote:

When former social secretaries gave a luncheon to welcome Ms. Rogers earlier this year, one participant said, she surprised them by suggesting the Obamas were planning a ‘non-religious Christmas….’
