Another Blow to Global Warming "Science"

Yet more proof that the U.N. Intragovernmental Panel on Climate Change is about as reliable as Keith Olbermann has emerged. The IPCC included in its 2007 report a claim that the Himalayan glaciers, receding faster than any others in the world, could melt by 2035. The only problem is that such a claim defies physics and glaciologists call the claim "lucdicrous". The idea came from an interview in 1999 with a little known Indian scientist who has stated that there was no factual basis for the claim. Perhaps all the idiots who think the Constitution contains the words "separation of church and state" should stop pushing their religion on everyone else.

More Fallout From the Threat of Victory in Massachusetts

We hadn't heard the term reconcilliation in a while, but it's being thrust back out into the fore. Reconcilliation would avoid the need for 60 votes to pass the health care reform bill and with the Massachusetts seat in play, Democrats are talking about using the process to get the bill across if they lose the seat. These people are desparate to pass something, no matter how unpopular it becomes, the will of the people be damned.

Further Developments in Massachusetts

According to this piece in the Washington Examiner, Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley's own internal polls show her five points behind Republican Scott Brown. Citing one Democratic source who says that with those numbers Coakley is "destined to lose", the article notes that some Democrats are beginning to use the Creigh Deeds strategy of distancing the candidate from President Obama. However, reports are coming out that Obama may be running to Massachusetts to try and get Coakley over the hump.

Panicked Democrats are trying to rush the compromise bill to the floor as its popularity continues to drop and the possibility of losing the 60 vote supermajority threatens the bill. Funny how the less popular the measure becomes, the more urgent it is to pass it. Much like the late Ted Kennedy and the soon to retire Christopher Dodd with their "waitress sandwich", I guess "no" doesn't mean "no" to Democrats. Or maybe I'm just not enlightened enough to understand.

The Absolute Derision of the Left

Senator Chuck Schumer (D. NY), in an effort to smear Massachusetts Senate candidate Republican Scott Brown, is the latest progressive to show his complete distaste for the common man and woman in the United States of America, utilizing the term teabagger to describe Brown's political views. Teabagging is a term for a sex act which has been used derisively to refer to conservative grassroots activists who have largely stood up against wasteful, massive government spending whose movement is the Tea Party movement. Schumer and his ilk are once again demonstrating the widespread feeling amongst the liberal intellectual elitists that the average man or woman in the street is just a fool that needs to be taken care of, cradle to grave, by them. Luckily, at least one poll shows Brown has actually taken the lead going into Tuesday's special election. If Brown wins the Senate seat, it would be a historically massive upset coming from a historically liberal/progressive state and as it would constitute a potentially critical blow to the Obama/progressive agenda and could be considered a referendum on the health care reform bills.

In fact, such a win would likely leave Schumer so shocked as to be slack jawed, which is, coincidentally, the position he'd need to hold to be teabagged.

Time for You Religious Folks to Get Out of Health Care

Democratic candidate for the open Senate seat in Massachusetts, Martha Coakley, whose constituency is a little over 1/3 Catholic, when commenting on working in the emergency room graciously allowed that you can keep your religious freedom as a Catholic, but it would be best if you don't work in an emergency room if they might have any moral qualms about some issues. She notes that we have "separation of church and state". As I've previously discussed, these words do not appear anywhere in the Constitution. It's called the Establishment Clause, not the Separation Clause, of the First Amendment. What Coakley is saying is that the legislature, by creating a right to health care, is actually creating a right that takes precedence over the free exercise of religion (note that "Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the free exercise (of religion)" does actually appear in the Constitution). This is just one more instance in which progressives reveal their belief, whether express or subconscious, that the legislature is the source of rights and that any natural rights granted by a Creator are secondary, if they exist at all.

But then, who would expect a member of the legislative branch to understand the Constitution these days?

Danny Glover, Actor, Humanitarian, Activist, Absolute Idiot

It's bad enough that Pat Robertson is running around saying Haiti has been cursed since making a pact with Satan to expel the French, now intellectual luminary Danny Glover, a man who thinks Venezualan dictator Hugo Chavez is a swell chap, has blamed the Haitian earthquake on the failure to make an agreement on the climate at Copenhagen. I knew there was a reason I liked the scene in "2012" when the aircraft carrier drops on Danny's head.
