Democrats Working Hard To Win Supporters By Calling Them “Flat Earthers”

By William Teach June 28, 2013 – 2:52 pm

I never did touch on (NMP) Obama, The Man with the biggest carbon footprint in the world, calling those who do not believe in man caused “climate change” part of the flat earth society (btw, the president of the real Flat Earth Society is a Warmist). I had blogged enough on the subject, and we should all be used to Obama insulting people who do not agree with him at this point. That said, Katie Pavlich notes that the DNC is now pushing this in emails. I’ve opted out of all the DNC/Obama communiques post-election, was tired of the 5-10 a day.

Friend —

Just this week, President Obama announced his comprehensive plan to tackle climate change. And guess what? The climate-change deniers are already out in full force.

It’s astounding to me that in 2013 there are still people who claim that climate change isn’t real — a viewpoint with no basis in scientific fact.

But because these people have the backing of powerful special interests, they’ve been able to control much of the conversation in Washington and halt progress on these critical issues. And while I hate to say it, if we don’t act quickly to support the President, they might win again.

Will you stand up to climate-change deniers and stand with President Obama?

Under the President’s plan, we have a real chance to reduce our carbon footprint, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and create a more sustainable future for our children, and our children’s children. But it won’t happen if we don’t act.

I can guarantee you that this will be a big fight — many Republicans will deny science and claim that “those liberals” are making it up. But you, me, and 97 percent of scientists know better — climate change is real and we have to act now before it’s too late.

As the President said, “we don’t have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society.” Stand up and fight today:

Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick Gaspard
Executive Director

Wow, so many lies, so much scientific illiteracy, not enough time to cover it all. Funny how Democrats always seem to promote strife, rather than working together, eh?

BTW, 0.14F increase in global temperature since 1997. 0.28F since 1990. Not scary numbers.

Obama “carbon footprint”: 41,000 metric tons yearly. Average American CFP: 19 metric tons yearly. Interestingly, neither Obama nor the DNC mention what Warmists can do in their own lives to bring their own CFPs down.

More Than Half Of Republican Senators Vote Against Amnesty Bill

By William Teach June 28, 2013 – 7:45 am

That’s the headline at The Hill, except it says “immigration bill” rather than amnesty bill. Alternated headline: 100% of Democrats Vote For Amnesty Bill that Doesn’t Actually Secure The Border And Will Allow Criminals To Obtain Legal Status and Federal Benefits

(The Hill) More than half of the Senate GOP conference voted against the immigration reform bill.

Leading critics of the bill complained that it repeated the mistakes of the last major immigration reform in 1986 by granting “legalization before border security.”

“It continues false promises of a secured border,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said. “It ought to be enforcement now and legalization later.”

The vote was 68-32, and here are the 14 Republican senators that need to be primaried

Marco Rubio (Fla.), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Jeffrey Chiesa (N.J.), Susan Collins (Maine), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Dean Heller (Nev.), John Hoeven (N.D.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), John McCain (Ariz.)

The two worst are Rubio and Ayotte, who ran as amnesty opponents, yet voted yes for this legislation.

Meanwhile, it looks like Paul Ryan, who’s a fan of the Senate amnesty bill, has noted that the House won’t bother with this turd of a bill

(Politico) Rep. Paul Ryan says the House won’t be taking up the Senate immigration bill, but it will be working on its own legislation that he says will create a “workable legal immigration system.”

The Wisconsin Republican told Sean Hannity on Fox News on Wednesday that the border security amendment to immigration reform passed by the Senate brings that bill closer to the House position, but he wants to make sure there are “triggers” in the final bill.

“We’re not going to bring up the Senate bill, we’re going to do it our own way, on our own very methodical way, because we want to make sure we get this stuff right,” Ryan said. “We want to have real triggers on the border, real triggers on what we call the e-verify.”

What they should do is drop the subject for the time being and work on economic legislation, perhaps with a few quickie bills interspersed that do things like secure the border, implement biometric tracking for those coming to America for temporary stays, and methods to drive illegals out, such as implementing massive criminal and civil penalties on companies that hire any illegal, whether they be a border jumper or someone who overstayed their visa.

And, as if we needed to see that far left opinion regarding the way immigration reform should go, here’s the far left New Republic with Four Misguided Ideas the House is About to Inject in the Immigration Debate

  • Undocumented immigrants as nefarious criminals (liberals want them treated with kid gloves)
  • The dreaded “trigger” (liberals want no impediment to full voting rights for illegals)
  • The border needs securing (they want open borders..of course, most liberals do not live near the border and aren’t concerned with the problems that occur due to illegals coming across)
  • Immigration reform will cost billions (they buy into the notion that legalizing them will save money)

Anyhow, did I mention that the 14 Republicans who voted for the amnesty bill should be primaried?

SCOAMF Talks NBA During Toast In Senegal

By William Teach June 28, 2013 – 7:02 am

So, the man with the Largest Carbon Footprint In The World who just stated that he’s going to Do Something about reducing “carbon pollution” flies to Africa and gives a toast in Senegal, which includes this

Sadly, it appears as if he’s looking down to read his toast, and was still a stuttering fool. I counted 19 “ah’s” during that 50 second clip. Image if that was George W. Bush: how would the media treat him? Of course, despite making a few words up here and there, W was able to speak in clear English, having learned how Adults, leaders, and presidents should speak.

Everyone, from the media to talk radio to blogs, has taken note of the complete SCOAMFishness of Rachel Jeantel, the prosecutions “start witness” in the George Zimmerman trial, her inability to speak adult English (she’s a perfect example of today’s public school educational system), yet here’s a man who went to and graduated from some of the countries best and he’s the POTUS. Sad, isn’t it?

BTW, here are a bunch of nutjobs at the Democratic Underground “apologizing” to Rachel.

Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.

The Life Of Julia, Amnesty Applicant

By William Teach June 27, 2013 – 7:53 pm

This is freaking hilarious, in a sad and true way, from the Center For Immigration Studies. Wish I could drop a photo of this, a spoof of Obama’s “Life Of Julia” neo-socialist government will take care of women-folk lunacy. Using Droid phone, I’ll see about adding one later.

Hah, figured out a way to get part of the first real slide downloaded, edited. Hope it is legible

Clean Energy Could Kill Off Endangered Killer Whales

By William Teach June 27, 2013 – 4:16 pm

I’m sure quite a few Warmists would be OK with this. They’re fine with wind turbines killing off endangered birds, as well as just killing off millions and millions of other birds

(Daily Caller) A new clean energy project could wipe out the killer whales off the coast of Washington State, according to an environmental group dedicated to protecting the mammals.

Washington State has decided to build a tidal energy pilot project in Admiralty Inlet in the waters of Puget Sound. It’s a plan that has pitted clean energy advocates against their animal-loving allies in the environmental movement.

While at least a dozen groups have urged federal regulators to thwart the state’s plans, some of the most vocal opponents are environmentalists who say the clean energy project threatens the endangered Southern Resident killer whale population.

The Orca Conservancy — the national nonprofit created to protect the killer whale and its habitat — has urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) not to grant a license to the Snohomish County Public Utility District (PUD) in Washington State for its tidal pilot project.

The group fears that the 386 metric ton turbines and their accompanying noise would seriously harm the orca population which transits and forages in Admiralty Inlet, where the project would be located.

Of course, other enviro groups, and the Department of Energy, are blowing off the concerns of The Orca Conservancy. One of the things they say is that the turbines move so slowly that they’d just push the orcas away. Remember how groups said that wind turbines turned too slowly to harm birds?

The Orca Conservancy — joined by OrcaLab, Naked Whale Research, Fins and Fluke, and Voice of the Orcas — told FERC that the tidal turbines are smack in the middle of the migration and foraging areas of several “pods” of the whales.

The groups warned of turbine collisions resulting in “bruised, discolored, or lacerated animals.” Impacts from noise and vibration are also a concern, the groups wrote.

Many other environmental groups have made their objections known to the project. If this was some sort of oil drilling project, does anyone think that it would not be killed in a minute?

On SCOTUS DOMA Decision, What Of Other “Inequality”

By William Teach June 27, 2013 – 11:02 am

Consider

(Washington Post) Writing for the 5-to-4 majority in the DOMA case, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy argued that the federal law’s “avowed purpose and practical effect are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the states.” Congress went out of its way to devalue certain marriages that states had chosen to recognize in their capacity as arbiters of what marriage can be within their own borders. The discrimination’s “unusual character” led the majority to conclude that its “principal purpose” was to “impose inequality” and that it offended the Fifth Amendment’s requirement that all Americans deserve due process of law.

“Impose inequality”. “Separate status”. There was also discussion of “discrimination” and “equal protection under the law”. Well, if that’s the case, particularly in terms of taxation and federal benefits

  • doesn’t that mean that the federal tax system imposes inequality, since some pay a higher tax percentage per the tax brackets than others?
  • doesn’t that meant that any tax breaks/incentives for married people are discriminatory towards citizens who are single?
  • doesn’t that mean that affirmative action imposes inequality?
  • how about tax credits for hybrids/EVs? People who purchase non-hybrid/EVs do not get the same tax break. Discriminatory.
  • Credits for having children? Why should childless people be penalized?
  • Home ownership tax credit? Why should people who purchase homes get special treatment, when those who rent/lease often pay more than if they had a mortgage?
  • Why should companies with 50 or more employees be treated differently than those with under 50 per Obamacare, vis a vis the fines/taxes?
  • Men are intentionally discriminated against per federal affirmative action laws
  • Women do not have to register for Selective Service
  • Men are treated more harshly under the legal system
  • Men are 20% more likely to die from prostate cancer vs women with breast cancer, yet federal funding for the latter is 4 times higher than the former
  • Men pay twice what women pay into Social Security yet women receive 50% more in payments than men
  • Smokers are forced to pay a higher rate of taxes per product
  • Bigamy and polygamy are still illegal. Why does government law discriminate against multiple people that love each other?

You could probably add lots and lots to that list. If there’s supposed to be equal protection under the law, no discrimination, no separate status, then why does the federal government discriminate?

White House Releases Its Scareathon State By State “Climate Change” Report

By William Teach June 27, 2013 – 9:06 am

The best is the one from Hawaii, which notes (via Watts Up With That?)

The US Department of Agriculture designated 31 counties in Hawaii as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses from drought in 2012.

Hawaii has 5 counties. One would think that a president who was raised there might know that. But, then, he thinks there are 58 States.

Anyhow, from the White House blog, apparently written by a 14 year old (see the photo)

On Tuesday, President Obama laid out his comprehensive plan to cut carbon pollution, prepare our country for the impacts of climate change, and lead global efforts to fight it.

We aren’t talking about “carbon”, we’re discussing CO2, so, they start with unscientific mumbo jumbo, and CO2 is not a pollutant.

Climate change impacts — ranging from more frequent and severe storms, floods, heat waves, and wildfires, to increased risk of asthma attacks and longer allergy seasons – are already affecting our security, our economy, and our communities.  In 2012 alone, the cost of weather disasters exceeded $110 billion in the United States, and climate change will only increase the frequency and intensity of these events. Today, we already set limits for arsenic, mercury and lead, but we impose no limits on how much carbon pollution our power plants release– despite the fact carbon pollution is one of the largest drivers of climate change.

Because none of those things ever happened before, but, hey, if we’re worried about mercury poisoning, then we should ban compact florescent lighbulbs.

As the President explained yesterday, we have a moral obligation to leave our children a planet that’s not polluted or damaged, and by taking an all-of-the-above approach to develop homegrown energy and steady, responsible steps to cut carbon pollution, we can begin to slow the effects of climate change so we leave a cleaner, more stable environment for future generations. The President’s plan is a comprehensive approach to cutting the pollution that causes climate change and threatens public health, setting us on a path to make our communities healthier, safer, and more resilient.

CO2 will not pollute anything, it’s a trace gas necessary for life. Obama was never able to scientifically link the warming since the end of the Little Ice Ace, or since 1979, to Mankind, except through “consensus”, which is not science. That’s part of the top 5 lies he told.

Anyhow, Anthony Watts takes a look at his home state of California, I’m taking a look at North Carolina

Recent incidents provide a reminder of the impacts to our public health and costs due to extreme weather in North Carolina. Although we cannot say that climate change is responsible for any individual event, climate change is already increasing our risks from these events.

North Carolina experienced seven billion dollar weather events in 2011 and 2012, including Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy.

Seventy one percent of North Carolina’s coastline is at high or very high vulnerability to sea level rise.

In North Carolina, there were over 10,100 hospital admissions for asthma in 2011, with an average charge of over $13,600 for each stay.

That’s the best they can do? Neither Irene nor Sandy were hurricanes when they made landfall. And the Outer Banks has been experiencing tropical systems for thousands of years.

Of course the coast is vulnerable to sea rise. Because it is low level and, you know, at the sea.

Asthma? Can the White House prove the link between AGW and asthma?

Sea level rise, dangerous storm surges and intense hurricanes already pose serious threats to coastal cities in the Southeast, and climate change will intensify these impacts. The Southeast experienced two billion dollar extreme weather events in 2012. Decreased water availability is very likely to affect the region’s economy as well as its natural systems. By the end of this century, much of the Southeast will experience more than 100 days above 90°F, which in the absence of adaptive actions is expected to lead to more heat stress related illness and deaths, decreased agricultural production, and negative impacts on fish and wildlife. Warmer temperatures accelerate formation of smog in urban areas, exacerbating respiratory problems such as asthma.

Still waiting for the proof that this is anthropogenic, and, certainly, PBO missed that there has been a pause in warming. But, he wants to implement draconian and costly policies that will raise the cost of living and reduce the availability of inexpensive energy. And then Obama flies off to Africa on a trip that will put out more “carbon pollution” than many African nations put out in a year.
