NOW Should NOW Get A Sense of Humor
The National Organization of Women need to now get a sense of humor. For a month they have blasted Tim Tebow, his Mother and CBS for the fact that they were going to air an anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl. When that did not happen they now are claiming that the Tebow’s ad glorified violence against women.
National Organization for Women president Terry O’Neill: “I am blown away at the celebration of the violence against women in it, that’s what comes across to me even more strongly than the anti-abortion message. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence, and I don’t find it charming. I think CBS should be ashamed of itself.”
If anyone should be ashamed it should be Ms. O’Neill. All of her pre broadcast posturing proved to be incorrect so she had to find fault to save face. The ad was funny, did not glorify violence toward women, and made the point it was designed to make without being offensive. I wonder if Ms. O’Neill recognizes the fact that Mrs. Tebow is a woman (who made a choice), or does she only consider those who agree with her worthy of that designation?
Congressman Jack Murtha Dead
Democrat Congressman Jack Murtha from Pennsylvania died today at age 77. I encourage those of us with conservative values, to allow his passing to be honored without the rancor that usually occurs, from the left, when a conservative dies.
Why Do Liberals, Democrats and the Media Fear Sarah Palin?
If Sarah Palin is the idiot that liberals, democrats and the media say she is then why do they pay so much attention to her? If she has no importance in the political process then why do they continue to try to belittle everything she says?
The answer is simple, she probably does not have a political future but she is a voice for that silent majority of Americans who are fed up with government as usual and the Obama Administration and the Pelosi and Reid lead Congress.
They continue to diminish her at their own peril.
Go Colts
Being a Hoosier by birth, and having known Archie Manning, (you know Peyton’s Dad) since the Hula Bowl in 1971 there is no doubt who I will be rooting for in the game today. That said, as a resident of South Florida I will be glad for the game to be over, and all of the fans to return home safely. Traffic the past two weeks has been worse than the normal grid lock.
Hopefully all of the Indianapolis fans will not have to much trouble getting back to Indy with all of the “global warming” on the ground.
And More Is On The Way
Perhaps Junior should ask Al Gore to send some global warming!
via RFK, Jr. 15 months ago: Global warming means no snow or cold in DC | Washington Examiner.
And this from the Globe and Mail written by Margaret Wente:……….“The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,” the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says in his blog on The American Interest. It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics……….And now, the science scandals just keep on coming. First there was the vast cache of e-mails leaked from the University of East Anglia, home of a crucial research unit responsible for collecting temperature data. Although not fatal to the science, they revealed a snakepit of scheming to keep contradictory research from being published, make imperfect data look better, and withhold information from unfriendly third parties. If science is supposed to be open and transparent, these guys acted as if they had a lot to hide………..An investigation by the British newspaper The Guardian – among the most aggressive advocates for action on climate change – has found that a series of measurements from Chinese weather stations were seriously flawed, and that documents relating to them could not be produced.
Meantime, the IPCC – the body widely regarded, until now, as the ultimate authority on climate science – is looking worse and worse. After it was forced to retract its claim about melting glaciers, Mr. Pachauri dismissed the error as a one-off. But other IPCC claims have turned out to be just as groundless.
For example, it warned that large tracts of the Amazon rain forest might be wiped out by global warming because they are extremely susceptible to even modest decreases in rainfall. The sole source for that claim, reports The Sunday Times of London, was a magazine article written by a pair of climate activists, one of whom worked for the WWF. One scientist contacted by the Times, a specialist in tropical forest ecology, called the article “a mess.”………….Worse still, the Times has discovered that Mr. Pachauri’s own Energy and Resources Unit, based in New Delhi, has collected millions in grants to study the effects of glacial melting.
To those politicians in Washington DC, who are digging out of the latest blast of “global warming,” remember to keep the shovels handy as more is on the way.
Only Katie Couric and CBS Can Defend Fraud as a PR Problem
Katie Couric claimed, on her broadcast last night, that ClimateGate and the fraudulent use of data has not changed the fact that there is climate change. It is to be noted that for her own protection she uses “climate change” instead of the previous use of “global warming.” Despite the overwhelming evidence of scientific fraud Ms. Couric claims that that ClimeGate is nothing more than a public relations problem.
Taking stances like this is one of the many reasons that CBS and Ms Couric are in a ratings slump and are terminating staffers from their news division.
John Conyers Puts Race Ahead of Relief
Representative John Conyers wrote the following letter to Secretary of State Clinton.
Dear Secretary Clinton:
As you know, the 42 member Congressional Black Caucus met with Rajiv Shah, the Administrator of the U.S. AID yesterday to discuss the crisis in Haiti. I was alarmed and chagrined to learn that none of the approximately dozen staff he brought with him were African American. This is so serious an error in judgement that it warrants his immediate demotion to a subordinate position at AID. It is well known that there has long been an under-representation of minorities in key positions within the State Department. I am confident this Administration will immediately begin addressing this problem.
I look forward to meeting with you on this matter.
Sincerely,
John Conyers, Jr.
Member of Congress
The ignorance of Congressman Conyers in using race while people of color are hurting in Haiti is beyond logical explanation.
Tough Choices Don’t Apply To Government
While President Obama lectures on the need to make tough choices (citizens stay away from Las Vegas) the government feels that spending $2.5 million on a 30 second spot during the Super Bowl to promote the census. This is just part of the $132 million dollars that the government will spend on census promotion through various avenues. The census forms are also being printed in 28 different languages. TOUGH CHOICES, REALLY?
Mr. President, Who Is Writing Your Speeches?
At today’s Prayer Breakfast President Obama had the following statement: “God’s grace is expressed by Americans of every faith and no faith uniting around a common purpose, a higher purpose.” REALLY? I doubt that any atheist I have come into contact with (admitting that number is few) would feel that God, a God they don’t believe exists, provides grace through them.
Mr. President you are not the dunce, at least I hope not, that your speech writer is making you sound like. I doubt that in a speech to the NAACP your writer would make reference to the KKK or Major Hasan at a memorial service for those who died at Fort Hood. However, if the writer felt it was necessary to include Atheists in a Prayer Breakfast who knows. You would be advised to find a new writer or at least read the speech yourself before you and TOTUS deliver it.
Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go?
Most people fail to pay much attention to where their tax dollars are being spent. Numbers like millions, billions and now trillions don’t seem to phase the average citizen. Do you want a wake up call on why the deficit continues to grow? Then consider the following:
In 2009 98% of all revenue received by the government (your tax dollars) went to social security, medicare and medicaid and the military budget. Doesn’t leave much money for any thing else. At some point budgetary control has got to be the rule.
