Obama Weekly Address: Hey, My First Round Of Mortgage Modification Bills Worked So Well I’d Like Another…

…And those pesky Republicans are to blame for failing to bail out my failed policies

(WRAL) Citing historically low mortgages, President Barack Obama is pressing Republicans to back housing policies the White House says would help struggling homeowners refinance their debts and prevent foreclosures. (full transcript here)

Obama is blaming congressional Republicans for not passing legislation he proposed in February that would lower lending rates for millions of borrowers who have not been able to get out from under burdensome mortgages. Republicans have objected, citing among other things the estimated $5 billion to $10 billion cost of the proposal.

They already tried this with HARP and other measures, some included in the Stimulus. Apparently those measures failed since now Obama wants more. Either that or he’s just using this issue, and the official resources of the White House, for campaign fodder

“Now, there are some who think that the only option for homeowners is to just stand by and hope that the market has hit bottom. I don’t agree with that.”

So, he took a dig at Congressional Republicans and Mitt Romney while using the resources of the White House. He campaigns enough without turning the resources owned by The People into Obama 2012 material, too

Congress has recessed and is not scheduled to return until after the November elections.

“Instead of worrying about you, they’d already gone home to worry about their campaigns,” the president said.

Now that was some serious chutzpah from an elected official who has spent most of his time since inaugurated campaigning, and has recently blown off meeting with world leaders, including Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu, in order to go on The View.

Of course, this same legislation would cost the taxpayers a boatload of money, since it will primarily be run through Freddy and Fannie, putting taxpayers on the hook for loan defaults. And the Democrat led Senate is taking their sweet time dealing with the legislation themselves. Weird that Obama failed to mention that.

Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.

Surprise! Race Card Played In North Carolina Governors Race

By William Teach September 28, 2012 – 2:17 pm

I’m sure you’re utterly surprised that the Democrat played it

(WRAL) Republican Pat McCrory blasted Democratic gubernatorial rival Walter Dalton on Thursday for releasing a video in which elected leaders and others accused the former Charlotte mayor of being insensitive to black residents on issues such as voter ID and education.

The video, released as part of an effort to bolster the lieutenant governor’s support among black elected officials and other activists, is the latest effort this week by Dalton and his allies attempting to raise questions about McCrory on race.

“Walter Dalton should be shameful for approving such an ad, and it shows desperation,” McCrory said in an interview with The Associated Press, adding that “it takes North Carolina politics to a new low.”

It used to be that playing the race card was the “last refuge of a scoundrel”. Nowadays, it’s on page 1 of the Democrat playbook.

While Democrats have said the photo ID would discourage older adults, minorities and the poor from voting, McCrory said it’s a reasonable requirement to validate someone’s identity before casting a ballot.

“Those same people approved legislation which requires ID to get Sudafed,” McCrory said, referring to a 2006 law requiring purchasers of pills containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine to show a photo ID and sign a log.

I don’t remember anyone complaining that the law would adversely affect minorities and old people when it passed and went into effect.

Sharia Law Today: Hundreds Of Women Stuck At Saudi Airport

By William Teach September 28, 2012 – 9:40 am

As those on the political left whine about a ginned up “war on women”, just remember that these same lefties always fail to condemn those who practice and push for Sharia Law

(Times Online) More than 1,000 Nigerian women pilgrims remained stranded at a Saudi airport for a fifth straight day Thursday after being denied entry into the kingdom because they were not accompanied by men, an airport official confirmed.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said the women have been denied entry because “they are not accompanied by a mahram (the statutory male companion),” adding that talks were continuing between Saudi and Nigerian officials.

That’s the kind of treatment women can expect under Sharia Law. Liberal deflection and rationalizing in 3….2….1….

Warmists Starting The “Climate Criminals Project”

By William Teach September 28, 2012 – 7:48 am

A lunatic at AmericaBlog (the same blog, but different lunatic, recently seen making wild and inaccurate claims about John Hawkins) has come up with a wild new idea

This falls under the heading of “wouldn’t it be nice.” I think the proposal below, if executed, would add considerable muscle to the existing (and frustrated) climate crisis movement.

I’m calling this proposal the “Climate Criminals” project — a label for the five-pronged approach to a climate solution that I’ve been writing about — for example here:

Solving the climate crisis — Goals, targets and tactics (a summary)

I won’t detail the project’s tactics yet — this piece is already long enough — but I do want to identify the targets of those tactics, show how those targets would be approached, and set up the next few posts in this series.

As far as those tactics go, you know what the lunatic, Gaius Publius, says doesn’t work?

Personal behavior change — individual action — is not enough. That discussion is here. The bottom line, even if you went totally green, you’d have to get power from somewhere. And that “somewhere” is under political control, not personal control. Behavior change is critical, but not enough.

Of course not. Warmists practicing what they preach is never the solution for Warmists. Why? Because it’s hard to live the CO2 neutral lifestyle and give up all modern trappings.

The problem — Humans continue to put carbon into the air. What’s already there is too much.

Alas, Warmists cannot even put it in scientific terms at the most basic talking points. It’s Carbon Dioxide. Carbon is something different. In fact, our bodies are carbon based. Life on earth is carbon based.

The solution — Put the carbon industry out of business. Completely.

So, put all life on earth out of business? Yes, yes, the lunatic is writing in Warmist, and is really discussing CO2. If you want to put the CO2 business out of business, well, that means living like it’s the middle ages or earlier.

The Climate Criminals five-pronged approach is a plan for a cadre-led movement to:

  • Target the perps, the “carbon criminals”
  • Catalyze leadership among on-the-fence politicians and media
  • Unconfuse the people about global warming consequences

In others, fascism, stalking, harassment, violations of Constitutional rights, and….hey, wasn’t Sarah Palin demonized over her “targeting?” Will the lunatic take responsibility when “carbon criminals” are assaulted?

Mohammed Video Creator Arrested, Ordered Held Without Bond

By William Teach September 28, 2012 – 7:33 am

Hmm, are the jack-booted thugs coming to take those who insult Islam away?

(The Smoking Gun) The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for an appearance today in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance in the courthouse where Judge Christina Snyder sentenced him in June 2010 following a bank fraud conviction.

[UPDATE: Citing Nakoula’s “lengthy pattern of deception,” a federal magistrate this afternoon ordered him held without bond for alleged probation violations, including making false statements to his probation officer and using aliases. The judge rejected a plea from Nakoula’s lawyer, who argued that the convicted felon’s life would be in danger at an L.A. lockup due to the facility’s large population of Muslim inmates. Nakoula will remain in custody in advance of a probation revocation hearing, the date for which has yet to be scheduled.]

Lest you think it over the top for federal agents to arrest him and see him appear in federal court, many of his original charges were federal ones.

Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but it seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government’s new charge.

Glenn Reynolds writes “Ya think?”

Included in his probation terms were prohibitions on his use of the Internet, unless he secured prior approval from his probation officer. Additionally, he was not to “use, for any purpose or in any manner, any name other than his/her true legal name or names without the prior written approval of the Probation Officer.”

From Allahpundit: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. And if we occasionally have to haul a guy in on a probation violation to ensure that the future doesn’t belong to him, hey.”

There was quite a bit of outrage on Twitter over this yesterday, and……I’m not going to take part in that. Certainly, the film played 100% of a role in Nakoula being arrested. You have Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Boy Wonder Jay Carney, and other administration officials criticizing the film, but, it appears that by making the film and disseminating it on the Internet while using multiple aliases Nakoula broke the terms of his probation. He’s not exactly an upstanding, law abiding guy.

It may seem that the jack-booted thugs are coming for him to stop his freedom of speech which was highly critical of Mohammed, but the only person to blame is Nakoula himself for breaking the terms of his probation.

MSNBC Talks About “White Grievance”

By William Teach September 27, 2012 – 4:01 pm

Shockingly, MSDNC’s Martin Bashir talks about race

(The Blaze) During his MSNBC show on Tuesday, Martin Bashir hosted a not-so-balanced panel to discuss the “miseducation” of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and conservative pundit Ann Coulter on education policy.

After the panel slammed Romney and Coulter for their politics, including Bashir joking that Coulter of has a “psychiatric illness,” the conversation turned to race, ironically, with the entire MSNBC panel arguing that it is the “right” that always interjects race into presidential races.

“This is about white grievance. And the right has spent 30 plus years stoking a sense of grievance among white working class voters,” MSNBC contributor Joy Reed said. “They’ve completely distracted them from the issues of what the 1 percent are really doing to them by constantly saying they are trying to take your stuff, those immigrants, those black people.”

“Everything from N-word head to Michelle Bachmann’s revision of history…to food stamp president,” Peterson continued. “It’s all coming from the right.”

“It’s all come from Mr. Romney,” Bashir added.

They really can’t help themselves.

Video available at the link. On a related note, the TV in the breakroom was on MSNBC, and I was treated to non-stop orgasms by Chris Matthews as he talked about Obama, and experience I hope never to repeat. They should probably play porno-style music in the background during Matthews’ show. And, yeah, they yammered on about “race” as it relates to voter ID. Why is only Democrats who worry about their voters having ID? Conservatives seems quite confident that their people have ID.

Oh Noes! UK Halloween Could Be Cancelled Due To Climate Change

By William Teach September 27, 2012 – 11:13 am

It should be noted that while Richard Tol is a Warmist, he’s not in the “alarmist” category. He hasn’t taken wacko extreme views, advocated for many of the extreme economic measures (though he does support a “carbon” tax), and was critical of the people exposed by the Climategates. He seems to be an honest scientist who does believe in man-induced warming, though he does call the impact “small”.

(Telegraph) Farmers say there will be a shortage of pumkins this Halloween as the bad summer weather means the crop is down by 20 per cent and many are still green.

Pumpkin growers in Lincolnshire are now racing against time to get the harvest finished before the frost claims more of their crop.

At David Bowman Pumpkins, near Spalding, which is Europe’s largest producer of the vegetable, around 40 per cent are still green because of the cold weather.

“It’s terrible, pumpkins don’t like the wet and cold and that’s what we’ve had all summer,” said Mr Bowman, whose farm normally produces two million a year, around three quarters of the British crop.

Sadly, Warmists have been saying that the cold rainy weather in the U.K. is because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle, releasing greenhouse gases that make the atmosphere warm.

100 Million More Will Supposedly Die From Hotcoldwetdry If Gov’t Doesn’t Tax Your Existence

By William Teach September 27, 2012 – 8:52 am

Another breathless doom and gloom report, upset that weather happens

(Reuters) More than 100 million people will die and global economic growth will be cut by 3.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 if the world fails to tackle climate change, a report commissioned by 20 governments said on Wednesday.

As global average temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, the effects on the planet, such as melting ice caps, extreme weather, drought and rising sea levels, will threaten populations and livelihoods, said the report conducted by humanitarian organisation DARA.

Hey, I wonder what happens when it gets cold? Like when 75 million died simply from the spread of the Black Plague at the beginning of the Little Ice Age? And the people who died of starvation because crops wouldn’t grow? And the Viking settlements wiped out because their livelihoods were too agrarian?

It calculated that five million deaths occur each year from air pollution, hunger and disease as a result of climate change and carbon-intensive economies, and that toll would likely rise to six million a year by 2030 if current patterns of fossil fuel use continue.

Except, CO2 is necessary for life on Earth. It is not a pollutant. And, more importantly, can they scientifically prove this prognostication? No, they’re projecting that all these deaths occurring now will get worse, creating a prognosticating causal relationship

An increase in CO2 is not going to cause 700k more deaths a year. Nor does a warmer atmosphere create more skin cancer. And Malaria was around well before the industrial revolution and CO2 passing 350ppm.

Anyhow, what are the solutions? Would it shock you to learn that they want governments to spend lots and lots of money to create a “low-carbon economy”? Or that the study itself was financed by governments? Follow the money.
