Michael Savage: It's 'do or die' for America

wnd

Savage said that if he were running for office, he would have a clear and understandable slogan that sums up his platform – his familiar “borders, language and culture.”

Comment:

Savage might be a big help, but he is too sensationalist to be credible.

Here's the problem:  the media.  The media is controlled by the corporations, who don't have the best interest of America at heart.  Anybody can own and control a corporation, including non Americans.  Thus, we are being led astray by people who would rather see us suffer than to prosper.  Why listen to them?  But so many do and so many are being deceived.

Our so called leadership are getting their power not by listening to Americans, but by catering to people outside.

Look at Obama.  He's actively trying to raise funds from people outside the country.  This is illegal.  If the media was truly patriotic, they'd be screaming bloody murder.  But what do you hear on this subject?

The media keeps pushing the global warming lie, which gives Obama cover for destroying fossil fuels.  But we need fossil fuels.  If this means of power our civilization goes away, the economy could very well collapse.  I don't believe this is an accident.  I think it is a plan.

People in this country are trusting the wrong people to provide them with information.  Americans should consider where they are getting their information and judge accordingly.

Carbon Emissions Are Good

By Robert Zubrin, National Review Online

• All available evidence supports the contention that human CO2 emissions offer great benefits to the earth’s community of life.
• Studies done at Oak Ridge National Lab on forest trees have shown that increasing the carbon dioxide level 50 percent, to the 550 parts per million level projected to prevail at the end of the 21 century, will likely increase photosynthetic productivity by a further 24 percent.
• In addition, global warming would lengthen the growing season, thereby increasing still further the bounty of both agriculture and nature.
• Through our CO2 emissions we are making the earth a more fertile world.
• Looking at the data, we see significant global cooling since the time of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which occurred 55 million years ago. The atmosphere contained 2,000 parts per million carbon dioxide, more than five times the 380 parts per million that is does today.
• The fact that increased CO2 is constructive and highly beneficial to both mankind and the natural world is ignored.

Comment:

Obama's EPA wants to kill off the fossil fuel industry, but claims credit for greater oil production.  How does he have any credibility on this subject?

Zubrin grants that carbon dioxide may warm the earth, but it may not even do much warming at all.  Looking at it logically, how can it be possible for carbon dioxide to have so much an effect when all of the oxygen in the atmosphere came from carbon dioxide via photosynthesis?  This implies a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide than present, which would have boiled off all of the oceans if it were so powerful a greenhouse gas as they seem to believe.

This madness has been going on for more than twenty years and now has led to the shutdown of coal fired plants.  Add this to what's happening in Europe and it looks like the enviros are trying to destroy Western Civilization.  Energy is critical for our standard of living.  Do they really believe windmills and solar power can do the job?  Have people lost their minds?

Did Kagan tell Obama?

Obama warns 'unelected' Supreme Court against striking down health law

Comment:

My understanding is that a preliminary vote is taken on a case just after arguments.  Since that happened last week and this story comes out, the question arises as to how Obama may know about the outcome.

My understanding also is that this vote is supposed to be secret.  But what if one of the justices decides to talk?  Like Kagan?  At least one person who commented upon this seems to think Kagan talked because Kagan has no honor.

The vote should be secret.  It prevents any hanky pank when it comes down to the real vote, which is when the decision is made public.

I'd say this rates as a major scandal.  It's important because the Court is supposed to be a separate and equal branch.  If the President tries to subvert this, it is a big deal.

Anybody paying attention?

Something I didn't know

Obama is deliberately raising illegal campaign funds.  He did this in 2008, too.

All the more reason to question more closely his background and who he is.

Why women vote the way they do

by Bruce Bartlett

A follow up post in which I posed the question of why women vote the way the do.

Interesting comments in the link to Bartlett above.  One said that the gender gap is mostly about race.

What I get from it is that people vote according to who they are more than anything else.  It would seem that almost all of the vote depends on factors that are predetermined before the election.

Yet, it seems that the candidate is important too.  If the above were taken to the logical extreme, you could nominate an old yellow dog in each party and still get the same result.

Americans Are Worrying About the Constitution Again

Michael Barone

quote:

If the Court overturns Obamacare, Obama may be tempted to attack the court. He should beware.

Comment:

Only small changes would be needed in order to bring the individual mandate part of the law into accordance with the Constitution.  The question is if the justices will strike the law until the changes are made.  Also, a question exists as to whether those changes could be made because they are political.

Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare: Does the Supreme Court’s Decision on Healthcare Really Matter?

The awful truth that few people are willing to come to grips with is that the choice is between servitude and all-out revolution.

Comment:

At times it seems that way.  I'm still reading the transcripts of the arguments, but it is boring.  It is hard for me to believe that they'll vote to uphold this thing.

ObamaCare Supreme Court links ( part 2)

From looking over the first day, it seems like the probability of a thumbs down has gone down a bit from what I thought before.  

What I heard about it not being a tax was reported accurately.  The trouble in striking down the law is in who will be harmed by it.  

For example, who is not purchasing insurance now?  The poor seems the likely answer to this question.  Most likely the poor don't buy insurance because it is too expensive.  But the poor won't have to pay a penalty if the cost of insurance is greater than 8% of their income.  So, the poor will not be claimable as ones who can be hurt by this legislation.

Note, however, it is the poor who are the majority of those likely to be uninsured, and it is the poor who cause others premiums to rise because they can't afford the actual health care either.  Thus, the justification for the mandate is to force free riders to pay their fair share, but these free riders are the poor, who won't be buying the insurance anyway, and won't be penalized for that.

All the more reason to strike down the law, but reason may have nothing to do with this.

Swing States Poll: A shift by women puts Obama in lead

USA Today

The survey of 933 registered voters, taken March 20-26, has a margin of error of +/- 4 points. The swing states surveyed are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin

Comment:

Whistling past the graveyard?  It's registered voters, not likely voters.

But women do tend to favor Democrats.  It seems like an interesting topic to contemplate.  What's the attraction here?  Why do women favor Democrats?

Vaccines against heart disease could be available within five year that reduces plaque by 60-70%

Next Big Future

• Working with Prof Prediman Shah, from Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, the team were able to formulate a vaccine that reduced plaque build up by 60 to 70 per cent in mice.
  
  The resulting CVX-210 vaccine, currently in development as an injection by CardioVax, is waiting regulatory clearance to start clinical trials.
• Knowing that the endothelial lining has been damaged before a blood clot grows might allow physicians to predict onset of a heart attack or stroke, said Zipes, who was not involved in the study.
  
  It could become possible to develop a wearable device for constantly monitoring the blood for endoteliel cells that indicate earlier damage of blood vessels.

There were 3 days worth of arguments here with transcripts.

What I know about them is what I heard or read.  Now, I will "see for myself".

There Obama Goes Again

A Voice of Sanity - RobertRinger.com

From the comments section:

Hydrofracking has been around for 50 years. It only emerges when the price of oil gets high enough to justify it’s use. If a miracle happened and oil prices dropped the hydrofracking industry would collapse.

I think that is probably correct.  It costs more to bring oil out of the ground here than the Middle East, so higher prices will bring more supply from over here.  However, if another way to run industry was found that didn't require oil, fracking would no longer be necessary.

If Obama was really "all of the above" as he claims, he would be pushing this technology instead of hindering it, just as Kudlow points out.  When or if a new tech comes along, it may replace oil.  But no sooner than that.

MacArthur Park - Richard Harris

What does this song mean?

I looked around a bit. No completely satisfactory answer emerged. The song is said to have been a bet of some type. A bet that a completely meaningless song could be made into a hit. If the song really was meaningless, the bet was won because it was a hit in 1968. I remember this song.

An interesting tidbit or two.  The performer, Richard Harris, was an actor.  Among his many roles, he played Marcus Aurelius in the movie Gladiator. Surprised?  I was.   He was also in the movie Unforgiven, in which Clint Eastwood also starred.

Whatever the meaning of the song actually is, if any, I guess that it would be of as a tragicomedy.
