No Human Caused Global Warming

Al Gore has to be furious as he chomps down on his double cheeseburgers. Patrick Moore, the original tree hugger and founder of Greenpeace says that there is no human caused global warming. This is of course no surprise to me as I've never bought into the theory that humans are causing temperature increases on the planet. But, it must really frustrate those who are saying we only have ten years before we fry ourselves by our own hands. However, cow flatulence and manure send out more greenhouse gases than all the cars and planes combined! I wonder why Al Gore never mentions this. Couldn't be for his love of cheeseburgers, could it?

Sure, the stats show temperature increases over the last decade or so. But, it cooled by similar degrees the decade before. Back in 1974, Time Magazine even published an article saying the earth is headed to another ice age:

"man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend.....dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth."

Sound familiar? It's the same argument that global warming advocates are using today. Warming and cooling trends are more attributable to the cyclical nature of our planet than anything that man has done. Similar to the seasons in which we are all familiar, everything in nature runs in cycles, our physical planet included.

But, most won't listen to Mr. Moore. People who doubt man-made global warming are considered as crazy as the people who doubt the evolutionary theory that one species can actually change into another species.

Cops that Killed Sean Bell Acquitted!!

Is this 2008 New York or 1968 Selma, Alabama?
Simple travesty. The NY Police officers who killed an unarmed black man after his bachelor party were acquitted today. They were found not-guilty by a judge who obviously thought the officers were justified in killing him because they "thought" he had a gun. Similar to the Diallo case, police officers' creative imaginations qualify as sufficient evidence to kill someone, regardless of what the actual facts may be.

Here's the deal. Two undercover officers were at the scene of Sean Bell's bachelor party trying to find evidence to close the place down. Bell and his friends leave the club after a dispute with another patron in Bell's Nissan Altima. One undercover cop tries to get them to stop. But, various witnesses at the scene say he never identified himself as an officer. According to Bell's crew, they think they're about to get robbed or car-jacked by the group from the club, so they try to keep going. But other officers get them to stop by spraying 50 bullets and shooting everyone in the car. Bell dies from one of the 4 shots he receives. The front passenger gets shot 13 times. Another passenger gets shot 3 times, tries to run away, is arrested and handcuffed to his hospital bed for three days. The rest of the bullets hit nearby homes, cars and businesses.

Nothing wrong here I guess. Everything done according to proper police procedure; no criminal wrecklessness really. Obviously this judge and NYPD officials are okay with these officers killing civilians and playing Wild West in populated residential neighborhoods. Former NY Governor Elliot Spitzer decided against assigning a special prosecutor, obviously because he felt there was nothing really special about this case.

Now, if Bell was a teenager running away from police with a pellet gun, he really would have got what he deserved. Blacks need to stop all of the complaining about dying or excessive force by the police. We know they're making all of this up.

Wesley Snipes Sentenced to 3yrs as a Message to all of Us

Wesley Snipes has just been sentenced to 3 years in jail. Thankfully, this means we probably won't have any more Blade sequels anytime soon. But, I've always liked Wesley and hate to see him get locked up.

However, there is a much bigger issue here. He was exonerated on 5 of 8 counts including 2 felonies! According to the law and the jury he was only found guilty of the misdemeanor violations which usually gives probation and/or community service. But, the judge said he gave the maximum penalty for each count because he didn't want any other citizens to get the idea that they couldn't pay their taxes. They don't want the rest of us to get any ideas.

What happened to individual justice? Who wants to be used as an example? I thought justice was blind? I guess Snipes' point was that the government must prove its case according to the founding documents that sit to the left of this post. Technically, he may be right. But, realistically we don't pay much attention to trivial things like the Constitution anymore. Legal or not it's just not worth the fight for most of us. We simply bow down, pay our taxes and get on with our lives We all know that the folks at the IRS are the last people we want breathing down our necks.

Good news on the Peace Front!!

This is really cool. A few good articles came out today from the Middle East. Although many outlets like to publish and promote the hate and bickering that usually comes from the Middle-East, it's good to see some good news announced.

First, leaders from international Muslim and Jewish communities have agreed to hold talks to re-establish the historic ties in an attempt to gain peace and use religion as a bridge instead of a wedge. Muslim scholars reached out to the Jewish leaders and they promptly accepted.

Acknowledging that there is "a dangerous and widespread misconception that an innate hostility exists between Judaism and Islam," the Jewish leaders stressed that "it is important to affirm the dynamic history of interaction that our communities have shared with one another."

On another note. Syrian leadership have confirmed that a peace deal with Israel is being worked out. Could we be on the road to hisotoric peace in our generation? For the Syrians to settle their differences with the Israelis, is very note worthy. Maybe other countries that share borders with Israel will do the same. Maybe this will lead to peace between Israel and Palestine? One can only dream.

UPDATE

Now HAMAS is offering peace with Israel!!! I think I'm about to play the lottery! Seriously though, could all of this be from Jimmy Carter's trip? I think that all parties will be too proud to admit it if he really helped create this radical change in tone over there. But, it really doesn't matter who gets the credit as long as serious progress is made, peace is installed and lives are saved.

Hillary Wins PA

Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary yesterday, further driving the Democratic Party into chaos. Although her campaign is functioning in the red and is on the wrong side of the math, she surely is determined to take this race all the way to the convention. It will take almost an act of theivery to capture the nomination from Obama. I, for one don't put this past her. The Dems will have a long road to patch up their party after this dogfight.

John McCain has to be loving this. It gives him time to reach out to independent voters and try to raise some cash. However, the results from PA show that he still hase much work to do to get conservative Republicans behind him. It's very interesting that although he has had the nomination locked up for weeks, 27% of Republicans still voted for Huckabee or Ron Paul.

I guess they are trying to make a point that they will not accept "Democrat-Lite" as the new philosophy of the Republican Party.

Pelosi's Gas Plan

Gas prices are killing the country. The oil companies are raping Americans in the biggest fraud in the history of our country. Republicans frequently argue against financial policies that only serve to re-distribute wealth. However, given the world-record profits of the oil companies now-a-days along the severe struggle of every other industry and regular Americans; I'd submit that we are now under the largest re-distribution of wealth scheme in American history.

Pelosi has a plan to eliminate the billions in tax breaks and federal subsidies that we give the oil industry. However she wants to use this cash to finance alternative fuels. I disagree.

My next column will address gas prices and the economy as a whole. Stay tuned. It will be a barn-burner. I'm taking no prisoners.

No! I'm the Real Mass Murderer!!

This article is intriguing on a couple of fronts. First, it should remove the conspiracy theorists opinion that 9/11 was orchestrated by the Israelis. Zawahiri himself is blasting that theory. He makes it clear that his group should be given full credit for the attack on our country on Sept. 11th.

Unlikely to happen, but I'd love to see this reinvigorate our efforts to actually capture/punish him and bin Laden. They are truly the mass-murderers that we all thought.

However, what's very interesting is that he also says that Iran was in cooperation with the U.S. in our war in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as we searched forAl-Qaida.

What's Wrong with a Little Espionage amongst Friends?

Looks like we captured another spy relaying sensitive, classified information to the Israelis. This guy worked with the same official that received pilfered information from Jonathan Pollard. Can these guys be the only ones working against our country? I wonder if there are others still out there operating?

Not sure why the Israelis feel the need to spy on us. What gives? We are obviously their closest ally on the planet and have shown throughout time that we share interests and will even use our own military to defend them.

I guess we're cool as long as they don't sell our secrets to the Chinese.

Cancel NAFTA? After we've gained so many jobs??

Our illustrious President is not in favor of cancelling, ceasing or renegotiating NAFTA. In fact, he's pushing for a new trade agreement with Colombia. Clearly, there are still many American jobs to be sent out of the country.

Free, open and fair trade is good. However, when our trade deficit is at historic levels, there is no reason to continue to outsource good American jobs. I would be in favor of this new Colombian deal if prices got a bit cheaper or somehow more than a few Americans actually benefited from the agreement.

News from the Terrorist Front

Bin Laden's #2 isn't very happy with lack of support that his group of international terrorists have been given by other Muslims.

Hey, there are a billion and a half Muslims around the world. If they were all crazies as some would lead you to believe, why the recruitment problems? You may not hear this fact from other conservatives.; but not all Muslims agree with suicide or terrorism as a means to an end. Obviously, al-Zawahiri agrees as well as he is still breathing and wasting that mountain air on the Pakistani border.

Hopefully, the next President will go back to Tora Bora and blow up some caves to eliminate these crazies. The world will be a better place.

Let's Get this Going!!!!

Okay. This is better. I like this site much better than the other one.

I'm ready to kick this thing off. I've officially renouncing my membership to the Republican Party. Those fakers are just as liberal as the Democrats. They just have different issues. Democrats want to control your money. Republicans want to control everything else.
