I was talking to a leftie recently, and he assured me that "Global Warming" doesn't actually mean that the Earth is warming up; rather, that the weather is becoming more unpredictable. Of course, my first question to him was: "Compared to what?" To my knowledge, neither the climate nor the weather has ever been very predictable. Of course, this is all about ideology, not facts.

Yes... As I sit here on April 6, with my electric space heater running simultaneously with my gas heater running throughout the house, I must say, I am even more not concerned with "Global Warming." My utility bills, is another issue all together, however. hmm...  Should I plant a tree or something?

I know I sound like a real moron, but I have to ask: how are global warming and colder weather supposedly related? I'm not being sarcastic; a few days ago on TV I saw the quick synopsis for the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" and it said "Global warming triggers a new Ice Age." What's up with that?????? I know that according to the GW fanatics virtually everything is cause by global warming, but how do you get a connection between global warming and an ice age????? Did I misread something?

Forecast for the NYC area for Saturday & Sunday...CHANCE OF SNOW!!!!!!!

Tonight?  She's always off!

Global Warming, indeed. It's 40 degrees in Houston and supposed to
snow in Dallas over the weekend. If global warming means that we'll
have this kind of weather all year, I say bring it on! I'm tired of it being 100 degrees in the summer.

Man, these people crack me up.

This lefty loony phenomenom of AGW could be peaking (hopefully) as the all out pounding msm assault is constant and daily in all media outlets (AOL carried story about "milliions of refugees" predicted from Global Warming). Loonies are marching this week in my small city to promote co2 restriction to 80 per cent by 2050. Texas Utilities in a merger bid with another company was made to recant its promise to build 11 coal fired power plants after eco-nut advocates sued the company. Congress a few weeks ago had auto-makers on the carpet and made them look like guilty schoolchildren for polluting the environment and not doing enough to cut emissions. Unfortunately I am sure legislation to "do something to save the earth and our children (wring hands)" is starting to occur with the usual unintended consequences and costs. The President of the Czech Republic stated in an address to our congress that radical environmentalism is an offshoot of the Communist Party and is political in nature. Science, logic and reasoning do not matter in this argument for or against AGW it is about control of peoples and governments.

Although the irony is delicious, I am tired of all the comparisons of the current weather to global warming. Global warming seeks to address climate change, the long term effects on this earth. Even though it fails miserably in the science end of it, they are slowly but surely encroaching on the economic side of the equation thru their fear mongering and catastrophic predictions. The UN and socialist' around the world would love to control the pocketbook of capitalism, and to me it seems this is going to be their tool of choice. Despite all the opposition to the global warming crowds theories, you rarely, if ever, hear the opposite side of the story. The claim of "consensus" is a bunch of propaganda the media are only too happy to parrot. The end of capitalism is the agenda of this bunch, the UN, democrats, main stream media all included, has been for years, only now they have the perfect vehicle.

"I haven't committed a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law."
David Dinkins, New York City Mayor

Doesn't it seem ironic that every time the media gets on an AGW hyping diatribe, foul, cold weather seems to come from nowhere and ruin the impact of their stories? They should wait until the middle of the summer, when it's supposed to be hot, in order to hype heat.

If you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on Paul's vote!

"The party that raises taxes will pay dearly in the next election"?   Statistics and history show just the opposite.   48% of adults of working age adults pay no federal income tax (excluding FICA which the government assures us is not a tax but actually savings going into a secure trust fund for our old age).  Also, over 70% receive some type of regular government check.  It may be actual welfare, "earned income credit" or as a government employee (teacher, IRS agent, military, etc.).   Whether someone earns their check or not and whether the goods or services they provide are needed by the electorate, everyone who receives a government check has a stake in the government being able to continue to pay those checks and, they hope, increase the amounts in the future.  It all adds up to the fact that we are WAY past the "tipping point" on taxes.   That's the "tipping point" where more people (voters) benefit than are hurt by a tax increase. 
Things have changed drastically (for the worse) since Mondale sank his 1984 presidential campaign promising to raise taxes.  Today, the politician who proposes the LARGEST "revenue enhancement" and promises to spread those "enhancements" around to as many voters as possible is the winner, not the loser.

At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years prior:
A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

You've probably read this many times in low-tax/flat-tax fundraiser letters.  These words finally found traction when George Bush used them in a speech a few years ago.  Since then, the left hasn't attacked the message as its inherent truth makes it irrefutable but, instead, that Tyler didn't exist, someone else said it, Tyler was actually "Taylor" and on and on.   As if that makes any difference.  Even if it was written as a high school term paper in 1932, it is absolute true that has been proven over and over again in EVERY great democratic or even partially free civilization that has come and GONE.   Emphasis on the GONE.  Ours has now survived longer than the quoted 200-year average.  We are now on borrowed time.  
If our many enemies outside our borders and those amongst us don't destroy us first, the new religion of Environmentalism headlined by the false scare of Global Warming dragging us into the bottomless pit of one-world government will end our experiment with democracy just as surely.  We're well past that "tipping point" where the wheels become to begin to wobble then all Hell breaks loose.  Short of a decade of snowy summers, the onset of worldwide communism that didn't die but just changed names in 1990 is now only a matter of time.  Call it whatever you like.   But, in the end, it is worldwide totalitarianism.   The ultimate goal of ruthless demagogues since the beginning of time.  It was a very long and complex path but a successful one nonetheless.    The path and the means didn't matter.  It's only the end result that matters.   At best, we can now only hope to lose as slowly as possible.
