The Grinch Who Stole Conservatism

GingrichThe GOP is frantically searching for the person who will lead them to the Promised Land (translate: White House) in 2012. Barack Obama is leaving a death stench so heavy that even most of the political allies in his own party are asking him to stay away from their reelection campaigns. You gotta give it to Obama: he has done in one term what most Presidents cannot accomplish until their second (lame duck) term. The problem is, the GOP just can’t seem to find their Moses (or even their Ronald Reagan). That means, as far fetched as it sounds now, Obama has a good chance of being reelected. And, once again, when any Democrat candidate for President wins, the GOP will have no one to blame but themselves. 2012 could be another example.

You see, the GOP (including their lackeys at Fox News) either really don’t know what a constitutional conservative looks like, or they do know what he or she looks like and don’t want them leading the party. I believe the answer is the latter, but in either case, the GOP continually does nothing to groom constitutionalist conservatives for leadership. Just the opposite: such people are routinely ignored, shunned, besmirched, or impugned. (Can anyone say, “Ron Paul”?) Is it any wonder that by the time the general election comes around, the GOP candidate for President is usually nothing more than a Democrat-lite, or a “Democrat in Drag” to borrow from Steve Farrell.

That brings me to one of the people that the talking heads at Fox News and other GOP propaganda centers are routinely discussing as their 2012 Presidential hopeful: former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. Read more of this article »

How Wrong Can One Man Be?

unobama3It’s amazing how much misinformation can be held in one human head. Yesterday Barack Husssein Obama told the assembled United Nations brain trust that the United States was committed to fulfilling our obligation to the world in doing more and more to stop the dread specter of climate change. He said, “We understand the gravity of the climate threat. We are determined to act. And we will meet our responsibility to future generations,” He might have added that “they may be eating gruel, but the climate will not change,” but he didn’t. Had he done so… it would have added a ring of truth to his talk.

It’s ironic that he spoke these words just a week after a man who has actually studied the subject, Professor Mojib Latif of Germany’s Leibniz Institute, addressed the UN’s World Climate Change Conference in Geneva, telling them that things may not be quite as they have been predicting… that the Atlantic, especially the North Atlantic, was running temperatures considerably cooler than anticipated and that we would be entering “one or even two decades during which temperatures cool.”

Professor Latif is not just some schlep off the street. He has won numerous prizes for his work on climate change and has been the lead contributor to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) last two five year reports that were of the “Omigosh, we’re all gonna get killed” variety. One has to wonder if he will be invited back next time. Read more of this article »
