"Monday afternoon when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions a danger to public health (and said it will begin to draft and enforce regulations). Even the EPA realizes these moves will be a disaster for the US economy. It will also make it difficult for us as both what we exhale( CO2), and methane (the gas we expel from the other end), are on the EPA. So once again the govt is going after the people from every side possible.
"The EPA action was directed specifically toward congress.
"An Obama staffer -- speaking anonymously, of course -- told Fox News: 'If [Congress doesn't] pass [emissions-control] legislation . . . the EPA is going to have to regulate in this area. And it is not going to be able to regulate in a market-based way, so it's going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way.'
"Take that, separation of powers. So if doesn't believe it prudent to destroy the economy, or if they wanted to investigate climategate, or believe that global warming is a hoax, it doesn't matter because Barack Obama wants to be both the executive and legislative branches of the govt, all rolled up into one."

They Miss Bush
Again I say I never voted for Bush.
"Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama's declining support is that just 50% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 44% saying they'd rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that's somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country's difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President."

Chuck Baldwin: IS OBAMA REALLY PREPARING FOR CIVIL WAR?
"So, do Wall Street and Russian analysts know something that we don't know? Is this why George W. Bush initiated USNORTHCOM to begin with? Is this why Barack Obama is beefing up USNORTHCOM? This would help explain the reports of all those potential detention camps that have been constructed (including the abandoned military installations that have refurbished security fences, guard towers, etc., around them). Has the American people's disgust with these crooks and thieves within the federal government and Wall Street reached a boiling point?"
Ben Shapiro: The Racism of the Black Community
"There seems to be less consternation in the black community about the fact that Woods cheated on his wife than the fact that his wife is white and his mistresses are white. Nobody in the black community has claimed that Shawn Kemp, the former NBA star who famously sired seven children out of wedlock, is a racial sellout. But according to the Associate Press, 26-year-old black woman Ebonie Johnson Cooper says that Tiger, who has so far fathered zero children out of wedlock, is 'quote-unquote not really black.' That's because 'we still see [Tiger] as a black man with a white woman, and it makes a difference.'"
Dennis Prager: How a New York Times Columnist Hurts Fellow Blacks
"The column is a fine example of liberal attitudes toward blacks and whites -- the latter are largely racist, the former are largely victims. It is a picture that exists only in the liberal mind, but as long as so many blacks believe it, there is little hope for large-scale black progress at this time. There is no chance that black America's economic or social problems will be solved until black America rejects the liberal narrative of endemic white racism and black victimization. That is why, though Mr. Blow's column is a calumny against America, it mainly damages his fellow African-Americans."
Jan Markell: Don't Let This Happen in America!
"You might think this cannot happen in America. A young Muslim woman converts to Christianity and both Islam and the State of Ohio are working against her. Political paybacks are more important than her life. And what is happening as I write this is chilling because the fate of many more hang in the balance if this woman loses.
"I have written about Rifqa Bary once before. She is 17 years old and when she became a believer a year ago, her parents threatened to kill her. She then hitchhiked to Florida and found refuge in a church. Due to corruption both in Florida and Ohio, she is now in a prison-like ordeal. She is back in Ohio and has an attorney who has some ties to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Her parents are a part of an extremist mosque in Columbus.
"Rifqa is being denied some basic things such as a telephone, Internet access, and school. She is quite isolated as there has been no 'approved visitation' list. Hard core criminals may have more rights than Rifqa.
"Perhaps the largest Somali community in the U.S. is in the Columbus, Ohio area. It is 70,000 and growing. It is reported that Gov. Strickland has financial ties to this community because of campaign contributions.
"Rifqa has become a 'test case' for Muslims. They would like to prove that Muslims cannot break free even in America. She is being watched by every subjugated Muslim in America who would like to flee Islam. So far, they are not getting much encouragement.
"Judges in that area are sensitive to the political climate and the Somali community and thus it would seem Rifqa Bary doesn't stand a chance. But with God, all things are possible!
"It is imperative that Rifqa break the Islamic machine. Will all Americans stand up for religious freedom? Or will we wallow in apathy as a nation, too comfortable to get involved?"

Janet Porter: My Al Gore science experiment
"With the nations gathering in Copenhagen for their Climate Change Conference, I'm going to perform a little science experiment.
"It's based on what Al Gore said in his "Inconvenient Truth": The polar ice caps will melt sending 20-plus-foot flood waves into coastal cities worldwide. Something Grant Jeffrey, author of 'Shadow Government,' informed me on last week's Faith2Action program that apparently even Al Gore himself doesn't believe:
"'Did you know that he bought a property in San Francisco near Fisherman's Wharf, only four feet from the ocean? I would say that if he believed that the seas were going to rise 23 feet, he would not have invested a great deal of money in such a property.'
"Good point.
"As I write this, I have a glass of water with ice filled to the very top sitting on my desk. Actually, it's sitting on a paper towel on my desk – to catch (and record) any overflow. If Al Gore is right, when the ice in the glass melts, there will be an overflow of water all over my desk – spilling onto my keyboard and preventing me from finishing this column. Stay tuned for the results.
"The problem with Gore's theory, as explained by another guest on my F2A program yesterday, is something called the 'Archimedes Principle: when a less dense solid like ice melts in a liquid like water, the liquid level drops.'"
Anthony B. Bradley Ph.D. : The Enduring Foolishness of Racial Politics
"When I hear African Americans, Latinos, and Asians lament, 'It’s 2008 and racism still exists in America,' I want to shout, 'What fairytale were you reading that said racism would ever cease?' One of the historic tenets of Judeo-Christianity, along with many other religions, is that evil exists in the world. As long as people lack the moral formation to escape it, there will always be racism.
"What is most alarming about the media’s recent displays of racial politics is that many American voters do not have the civic virtue to put their personal racial views aside for the sake of what is best for the nation. Race does not determine a person’s position on issues. Do Maxine Waters and Condoleezza Rice think alike simply because they are both black women? Shallow voting is the art of the imperceptive.
"In light of the gargantuan issues facing the nation—the conflicts in the Middle East, the nationalization of American banking, transitions in our use of energy, new international partnerships among socialist regimes in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and the multi-layered issues in Africa—we should be embarrassed as a nation for the world to see people downgrade the presidential election to gene preferences.
"What Americans must embrace is their responsibility as virtuous citizens concerned about the common good. This means that we put non-essential issues like race aside, to choose a candidate with the character and competence necessary to offer leadership on the pressing issues of our times."

Pamela Geller: A God Who Hates Pamela Geller
"It is the story of a Muslim woman who grew up in a country where she was indoctrinated in Islamic ideology. So her perspective is very important in terms of establishing the credibility of scholars like Robert Spencer and Dr. Andrew Bostom. But what makes this book great, apart from its breathtaking honesty and truth and the clarity and urgency of its warning, is that it is also a beautiful love letter to America.
"Wafa speaks powerfully about what America means to her. It manifests itself in little things. She leaves her house at 5 am and makes her way to Starbucks to have her coffee without fearing that someone might see her and accuse her of immoral behavior. To her, America means saying 'good morning' to her neighbor and chatting with him for a few moments without being accused of having spent the night with him. America, for this courageous woman, means that her daughter can come home and tell her that she had lunch with her boyfriend without being beaten or accused of having impugned the family honor.
"It is clear throughout A God Who Hates that Wafa Sultan was always a very independent thinker, even though there were times in her life when she did not immediately allow herself to go to the next step to which her thinking was leading her. She writes lovingly about her husband, who was very supportive of her. He was an open-minded thinker — initially more so than was Wafa herself. But she recounts in the book certain momentous events that jarred her thinking, such as in 1979 when Muslims screaming 'Allahu akbar' murdered one of her professors, the ophthalmology lecturer Dr. Yusef Al-Yusef, whom she respected and admired. Wafa witnessed the murder – and at that exact moment started to question the nature of the Islamic faith.
"'But I was afraid,' she explained when I interviewed her recently, 'to express my feelings. I was afraid to express my thoughts, because under Islamic sharia, a Muslim who dares to leave Islam or dares to convert to any other religion is to be killed. And every Muslim has the right to kill someone who has left Islam without being asked a question. This is the Islamic law. Once you were born as a Muslim, you’re not allowed to leave it. This is simply the Islamic law, and it seems to me it’s very hard to convince Americans that this is the way it is.'"

Anthony B. Bradley Ph.D. : Government Health Care: Back to the Plantation
"Many black leaders seem confused on this point. If America has a race problem, then it will manifest itself in both public and private sectors. Expanding Medicare and Medicaid only subjects poor blacks to more government control. Economic empowerment and returning health decisions to black people are the only way to eradicate concerns about structural injustice. When health-care providers compete for their patronage, blacks are empowered and control their own destinies. Economic freedom in health care is a moral and civil-rights issue because for too long blacks have suffered the indignity of having political structures make surrogate decisions about their bodies.
"Black leaders should encourage policymakers to make health more affordable by giving individuals absolute control over their earnings with concomitant power to choose their own health plan. Instead, they are conspiring with Congress to lead us back to the plantation."

Thomas R. Eddlem: Patriot Act Renewal Moving Forward
"Renewal of two controversial Patriot Act provisions set to expire at the end of the year have been approved by House and Senate Committees over the past month, and appear headed for floor votes in both bodies. President Obama has endorsed extending the provisions."

"Black leaders constantly remind Americans of our racism. Should not these same leaders protest the expansion of government control contained in the health-care reform bill currently working its way through Congress?"
Michel Chossudovsky: Climate Change: The Global Media Presents an Apocalyptic Scenario
"Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libelled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis."
Mike Adams: Cancer profiteering? New chemo drug costs $30,000 a month
"But here's the best part: Folotyn has never been proven to save lives. That's the complaint about natural remedies from conventional medicine pushers, and it reveals the contradiction in their criticism: When natural remedies aren't proven to work, they call them 'quackery.' But when their $30,000-a-month medicines aren't proven to work, they don't have any problem with that. Take your medicine and stop asking questions! Who needs scientific proof when they're already so sure they're right?"
John Lillpop: Tidings of Great Joy! ACLU Facing Red Ink Because of Green Flop!
"The American Civil Liberties Union has lost a quarter of its yearly donations after a major donor cut off $19 million in annual donations because of economic difficulties.
"David Gelbaum, a wealthy California conservationist, said he was indefinitely stopping the donations that had made him the New York-based group’s largest anonymous donor.
“'For a number of years, your organization has received very substantial charitable contributions from me,' Gelbaum said in a statement. 'My investments in alternative, clean energy companies have placed me in a highly illiquid position as a result of the general credit crisis in the American and world financial systems.'

Warner Todd Huston: Obama to Journalists: No Christmas Present For You
"It is beginning to look like TheOne has just told the lapdog U.S. Old Media that he didn’t get them a Christmas present this year. Politico is reporting that the Obama Administration didn’t invite the average number of newsies to the White House Christmas Party and on top of that, even the ones that did get invited won’t be able to get their photos taken with Obama in a receiving line like they traditionally have because the president seems to have ditched the whole receiving line thing from the schedule.
"Imagine the heartbreaking that is going on in those hoary Old Media circles. Imagine the gnashing of teeth and the wailing going on as they whine to their significant other that TheOne has forsaken them! It must be a caterwauling like you’ve never heard.
"The Politico starts off its piece in perfect politically correct pitch by noting that reporters covering Obama always look forward to 'The White House Holiday Party.' Didja notice Politico doesn’t say the White House Christmas Party? I thought you would. Anyway, shocking news has leaked out amongst the newsies that many of them weren’t invited to the White House Party this year like they have been in years past. Worse, the Prez has dumped that whole annoying having-to-meet-people stuff."

Ross Kaminsky: Obama Jobs Math Doesn’t Add Up
"Barack Obama’s job speech was a paean to free enterprise given with fingers crossed behind his back; for all his talk about real and sustainable job creation coming from the private sector, almost every proposal he offered was more of the same bitter medicine the American public has been fed for the past year. He says small business must create jobs, then argues to divert billions of taxpayer dollars for his 'clean energy' pipe dream. He blames George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress for fiscal irresponsibility while putting in place budget plans which are likely to triple our national debt in the next decade by doubling real welfare spending and by 'government spending a peacetime-record 26% of GDP' this year with little relief in sight thereafter. (And that is without spending for Obamacare.)
"Hours after the president’s speech, Rasmussen Reports released the results of a new poll showing 58% of likely voters opposed to giving bailout money to states, 56% opposing a second stimulus, 53% believing the economy will be helped more by actions of the private sector than of government, and 59% believing that increased government spending will hurt the economy."

William Owens, Jr.: ARROGANCE OF POWER
"Whether or not you believe in Him, God must be considered.
"It would be good advice for a nation on the brink of destruction from within itself to reconsider its course and attitude towards God. Dealing with evil without acknowledging God is like playing football without a helmet. It is complete denial of compelling evidence, historical proof, as well as the testimony of our Founders who drafted our Constitution. Should one continue to engage in such a potentially harmful game of football without a helmet, not only will that individual suffer serious injury, but if such an idea remains unchallenged, eventually, a permanent injury such as a broken neck will occur, followed by the threat of paralysis or even death. Perhaps the comparison shines light on why so many of us seem unable to move in truth, and even worse, why some are just flat out unmoved because of injury we are therefore afraid to tackle that which is evil head on. "

Castro: Obama's Acceptance of Nobel 'Cynical'
"Fidel Castro is calling President Barack Obama's accepting of the Nobel Peace Prize a 'cynical act,' given that he is sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.
"The 83-year-old former Cuban leader initially applauded Obama's selection, but he has backed off that recently.
"In a column on a government Web site Wednesday, Castro wrote: 'Why did Obama accept the Nobel Peace Prize when he had already decided to take the war in Afghanistan to its ultimate limit?'"

David A. Patten: Controversial EPA Ruling Linked to 'Climategate' E-mails
"Republicans and conservative think tanks are calling for the Obama administration to revoke its declaration that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant subject to EPA regulation on the grounds that the EPA's primary source of information for the finding was the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the source of the highly controversial 'Climategate' e-mails.
"Newsmax has verified there are 34 references to IPCC information in the EPA's 25-page 'Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases,' which was published in the April 24 edition of the Federal Register (pages 18886-18910).
"This is the document the EPA used to support its preliminary finding, which in turn provided the underpinning for the Endangerment Finding issued on Monday."

Katharine DeBrecht: Obama's 15 months of fame
"Obama is like a child TV star who rose to fame because he eloquently delivered a cute catchphrase ('Hope and Change' as opposed to 'Hey, Mikey! He likes it!'), but now finds himself an adolescent in a grown-up world and faced with the task of actually manning up to the responsibilities of a new job for which he applied. Yet, instead of stepping up to the plate, Obama is relying merely on his celebrity status to coast through the sometimes ceremonial and often dire decisions a chief executive must make.
"Since January, Obama has turned the 24-hour news cycle into Obama TV. When Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., joked that Obama has appeared on every network except the Food Network, heads must have rolled in the White House for missing that gig. Not to worry, First Lady Michelle is going to appear on 'Iron Chef' America in January."

Erik Rush: Reid plays the 'hate card'
"The opportunism to which I referred concerning the left's alacrity in accusing their adversaries of hatred lies in the fact that they regularly engage in speech and actions that are hateful, or those which inspire hatred. Not only were Reid's comments scurrilous, they were in defense of a key device (health-care reform legislation) by which Congress and the administration will pauperize and ultimately enslave Americans. As difficult as survival has become for millions of Americans, Reid and his colleagues seek to create a scenario in which mere subsistence will become incomprehensibly more difficult for American families – in order to consolidate the power of the former."
