Greenpeace Climate Alarmists Arrested On Oil Rig Due To………

By William Teach September 2, 2010 – 11:50 am

Wait for it

Greenpeace halted exploratory drilling by a Scottish oil firm off the coast of Greenland on Tuesday after four protesters scaled an oil rig and suspended tents from its underside.

“The drilling rig we’re hanging off could spark an Arctic oil rush, one that would pose a huge threat to the climate and put this fragile environment at risk,” said Sim McKenna, one of the protesters, in a statement from the rig.

Punchline

Greenpeace says four activists have been arrested after an Arctic ice storm forced them to leave an oil rig off western Greenland where they had been squatting for two days.

Liberals To Try Their Own National Mall Rally

By William Teach September 2, 2010 – 9:13 am

This should all end in tears. Or hilarity. Whichever

Labor leaders, liberal religious leaders and the NAACP will hold a rally on the National Mall on October 2, one month before the fall midterm elections, in an attempt to show they too have political clout and momentum in response to last Saturday’s massive gathering of Tea Party types led by Fox News host Glenn Beck.

“The AFL-CIO is determined that the Tea Party and its corporate backers are not going to get the final word,” said AFL-CIO executive vice president Arlene Holt Baker. “We will expect tens of thousands of union families to come.”

CBS already has their story ready to go

750,000 Attend Grassroots Liberal Rally

But, hey, they’re expecting tens of thousands of union members to attend! Can’t wait to hear their message: “higher taxes! More government! Out of control pensions!”

Good News! Illegal Immigration Has Dropped To Only 300,000 Per Year!

By William Teach September 2, 2010 – 6:55 am

If we were being uncharitable, we could probably assign a motive to the Washington Post for publishing this story, but, hey, it’s early morning, and the article seems to avoid partisan rancor, so

A deep recession and tougher border enforcement have led to a sharp decline in the number of immigrants entering the United States illegally in the past five years, contributing to the first significant reversal in the growth of their numbers in two decades, according to a new report by the Pew Hispanic Center.

The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States plunged by almost two-thirds between 2005 and 2009, a dramatic shift after years of growth in the population, according to the report.

In the first half of the decade, an average of 850,000 people a year entered the United States without authorization, according to the report, released Wednesday. As the economy plunged into recession between 2007 and 2009, that number fell to 300,000.

The question the Washington Post and the report do not answer is how much the drop was due to the recession, and how much to enforcement, including the sections of the walls that have been built. Yet, I do think all of us who have spoken out against illegal immigration can give ourselves a pat on the back for making the issue a big issue, and getting the government to at least Do Something.

But we still have work to do. Three hundred thousand a year is still way, way, way too much. We will never be able to stop the flow, unless we become an insular and isolated nation, which we do not want (except for a few wacko few, of course).

The drop has contributed to an 8 percent decrease in the estimated number of illegal immigrants living in the United States, from a peak of 12 million in 2007 to 11.1 million in 2009, the report said. Of the 11.1 million, 60 percent came from Mexico, 20 percent from other parts of Latin America, 11 percent from Asia, and 8 percent from Africa, Europe, Canada and elsewhere. The new figures come amid a heated national debate over efforts by Arizona and other jurisdictions to identify people who are here illegally and push to have them deported.

OK:

  1. The drop can be associate for the most part to not a reduction in the flow of illegals in, per se, but by them realizing there are no jobs, and leaving
  2. Wait, there are illegal Canadians? Are they here for the hockey?
  3. How many of those from Asia, Africa, and elsewhere are associated with radical Islam?
  4. Perhaps the government should subpoena the people who did the research for the report and make them say where all the illegals are that they surveyed, so they can be deported.

Finally

“Life’s gotten pretty miserable for immigrants in the United States,” he said, noting that even for legal immigrants, many of whom have relatives who are unauthorized, the increased scrutiny has been stressful.

Well, people who associate with law breakers should feel stress from increased scrutiny.

Excitable Liberals Still Attempting To Paint Discovery Channel Wacko As On The Right

By William Teach September 1, 2010 – 7:43 pm

I was going to ignore this story, since everyone else has been on it (plus, super slammed today, little time for news), but, here we go with Force 10 Moonbattery

Conservatives are working overtime to paint him as a left-wing environmentalist whacko because of his “save the planet” demands, outlined here (h/t Karoli at Crooks and Liars). The knee-jerk anti-liberal hate is based on a news report that Lee was inspired by Al Gore.

And Alan cites this demand

However, his demands also contain vehement anti-immigrant rants:

5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies. FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! (The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant jobs!)

Does that look like the ravings of someone with a firm, left-wing ideology?

Well, I don’t know, Alan. Kinda sounds like it goes along with many other of his demands, such as (way more below the fold)

Obamanomics Hits More Historic Marks

By William Teach September 1, 2010 – 4:58 pm

How’s that hope and change working out for ya?

U.S. auto sales in August probably were the slowest for the month in 28 years as model-year closeout deals failed to entice consumers concerned the economy is worsening and they may lose their jobs.

Industrywide deliveries, to be released tomorrow, may have reached an annualized rate of 11.6 million vehicles this month, the average of eight analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the slowest August since 1982, according to researcher Ward’s AutoInfoBank. The rate would be 18 percent below last year’s 14.2 million pace, when the U.S. government’s “cash for clunkers” incentive program boosted sales.

“Home sales are way down, the stock market is way down, the unemployment report is very disappointing and consumer confidence is sputtering,” Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at TrueCar.com, said in an interview. “People just don’t want to make big-ticket purchases because they’re uncertain about their jobs and the value of their homes.”

Remember that ObamaCare photoshop featuring Obama as a witch doctor? It probably would have been better to label it Obamanomics, the real voodoo economics. Well, failed voodoo, kinda like the way drunk kids will play with “magic” books, and expect them to actually provide free money and stuff.

Hey, if someone can photoshop it for me (not near a PC with my programs), I’d appreciate! In the meantime, we do have

Climate Creationist L.A. Mayor Thinks CO2 Causes Asthma

By William Teach September 1, 2010 – 2:14 pm

Another day, another AGW wackjob

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Tuesday rebuked Valero Energy Corp. and Tesoro Corp., which operate refineries in Wilmington, for bankrolling a measure that would effectively scuttle the state’s efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

“Go home, Texas oil companies,” Villaraigosa urged at a news conference aimed at encouraging voters to oppose Proposition 23, a November ballot initiative to suspend California’s 2006 climate change law until the state’s unemployment rate drops.

“We won’t compromise our environmental and health standards so you can make more money,” he said.

The sharp tone was an early indication of the battle expected over the measure, which proponents say would save jobs and lower energy costs but that opponents say will choke California’s pioneering effort to reduce planet-warming pollutants and attract alternative-energy jobs.

Flanked by community activists from Latino neighborhoods, Villaraigosa accused San Antonio-based Valero and Tesoro of “dirty tricks,” adding that because of asthma from poor air quality, “More Californians will get sick if Prop. 23 passes.”

Now, yes, exhaust from petroleum based vehicles can, indeed, cause poor air quality, especially in an area like Los Angeles County. I think we can agree on that, can’t we? Of particular not are the limo’s, SUVs, and private jets that all the L.A. based celeb’s tend to use as conveyances.  Hey, I wonder if Mayor Villaraigosa used his motorcade when he went to Lakers games? Anyhow, Villaraigosa is not referring to actual smog, but, to CO2, based on his “climate change” rant. CO2 is not a pollutant, it is not smog, no matter what the unhinged would like you sheeple to think.

Interestingly, the cleaner the air, the more it has warmed in Eastern Europe.

Chatty Kathy Parker Compares Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally To A 12 Step Program

By William Teach September 1, 2010 – 9:34 am

Generally, most of the major tools on the Internet are ignored, yet, everyone once in a while they write something so incredibly so mindless, so half no-witted, so perfidious, that it needs to be exposed. Here’s Kathleen Parker’s bit of complete idiocy: My name is Glenn Beck, and I need help

Despite all the words spilled in evaluating Glenn Beck’s tent-less revival last weekend, the real meaning may have been hiding in plain sight.

Beck’s “Restoring Honor” gathering on the Mall was right out of the Alcoholics Anonymous playbook. It was a 12-step program distilled to a few key words, all lifted from a prayer delivered from the Lincoln Memorial: healing, recovery and restoration.

Saturday’s Beckapalooza was yet another step in Beck’s own personal journey of recovery. He may as well have greeted the crowd of his fellow disaffected with:

“Hi. My name is Glenn, and I’m messed up.”

Isn’t that nice? Apparently, you 500,000+ who attended, not too mention all those who watched it on C-SPAN and on Internet feeds, are simply the same as alcoholics. Fortunately, Parker, who is certainly competing to be the #1 tool at the Washington Post, mentions

Beck’s history of alcoholism and addiction is familiar to any who follow him. He has made no secret of his past and is quick to make fun of himself. As he once said: “You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I’ve made a lot of money making fun of me.”

Well, then, Kathy, I guess it is just fine for you to make fun of his alcoholism, and make the rally out to be attended by alcoholics. She followed up with quotes from Beck that apparently support her hypothesis that the rally was about getting over addiction, or something.

If you were thinking that Parker’s entire fever swamp column was never meant to go anywhere except to attack Beck, you’d be correct. Oh, and don’t forget about Kathy’s PDS!

Yes, Mother Superior made an appearance. Sarah Palin, whom Beck sainted a few months ago during an interview in which he declared her one of the few people who can save America, came to the Mall not to praise politics but to honor our troops.

Parker may have at one time been a decent person, but, now she is competing for the praises of Liberal World, having been successfully captured by the predominantly liberal media. I’m sure most of us know someone who has had problems with alcohol, perhaps even an alcoholic. I’ve known a few, once who damned near drank himself to death, literally. He turned his life around. And, yeah, we can joke about it a bit, though, the joking can have the hard edge of reality, as well as a bit of melancholy. Forgive me if I am a bit sensitive, but, addiction is not meant to be the punchline of an “I hate Beck and Palin” opinion piece. But, this is what Parker is reduced to.

If you’d like to tell the Washington Post about this disgusting op-ed piece, which more properly belongs at Kos, Little Green Goofballs, or any other unhinged liberal site, you can email them (also Marcus W. Brauchli, Executive Editor) or call them (800-627-1150). I actually called on the way to work.

Muslim Groups Ask DOJ To Hold Haters Accountable

By William Teach September 1, 2010 – 9:26 am

Free speech? What Free Speech? Welcome to Islamist and Sharia compliant reality

A coalition of faith groups met with Justice Department officials Monday to encourage the Obama administration to take a more public stance against anti-Muslim hate speech and hate crimes.

Farhana Khera, president and executive director of Muslim Advocates, said the community leaders requested the meeting due to an “alarming rise in anti-Muslim hate” that has become commonplace as the debate over the so-called “Ground Zero mosque” in New York City continues.

“We are a thriving democracy, we appreciate free speech, but when it crosses the line into violence, that’s against the law,” she said. “And the [Justice] Department, the federal government, the nation’s chief law enforcement officer is going to prosecute and hold them responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

She said the groups asked the Justice Department officials to hold people who engage in hate crimes accountable, and “send a message that hate and criminal activity and attacks on houses of worship is un-American.”

“Our concern is that we believe that there needs to be more attention, more resources put into investigating and prosecuting these cases as well as a higher level of attention to whatever efforts the department may be undertaking as well,” she said.

Yes, when thought becomes violence, the perpatrator should be arrested and charged with the appropriate crime, such as arson, assault, attempted murder, etc. Of course, they all want these people charged with thought crimes, and

The faith leaders and advocates said they came away from the meeting without any commitments from the Justice Department and called on the administration to make a strong public statement before the anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Yeah, by all means, the DOJ should put out a statement in support of Muslims, right before the anniversary of when Muslims killed over 3,000 people.

Perhaps these Muslim groups should consider what they could do to “stop the hate.” Condemning Islamic violence openly and freely would be a good start. Telling them not to build the mosque at Ground Zero would be a second.

Ohio Voters Prefer Bush In White House Over Obama

By William Teach August 31, 2010 – 5:45 pm

How’s that hope ‘n change working out for ya? (Via Taegan Goddard from a Tammy Bruce tweet)

We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.

Independents hold that view by a 44-37 margin and there are more Democrats who would take Bush back (11%) than there are Republicans who think Obama’s preferable (3%.)

I’m not sure “ouch!” really covers it. Maybe Scene Stealing Squirrel? Or, Dramatic Chimpunk?

Allahpundit has more, including a tidbit on the polling company.

Obama DOJ Sues Arizona Over Immigration Again

By William Teach August 31, 2010 – 3:27 pm

This time, for other practices which must be raaaaacist

The Justice Department filed another lawsuit against immigration practices by Arizona authorities, saying Monday that a network of community colleges acted illegally in requiring noncitizens to provide their green cards before they could be hired for jobs.

In Monday’s lawsuit, Justice officials said the colleges discriminated against nearly 250 noncitizen job applicants by mandating that they fill out more documents than required by law to prove their eligibility to work. That violated the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, the department said.

So, these immigrants were asked to provide green cards to prove they could legally work in the US, which is apparently more than Federal law allows. Which is apparently a big no no, in ObamaWorld.

Meanwhile, California will have a ballot initiative, known as Prop 19, this November, which could legalize marijuana. Um, isn’t marijuana a Schedule I drug, illegal per federal law? Wouldn’t that mean that California is going beyond Federal law, which has supremacy? That was the rationale behind the illegal immigration lawsuit from Holder and Obama against Arizona. Will they sue California, too? Of course, the answer is no, since they are ignoring the use of medical marijuana, which is against Federal law.
