Liberals Want To Save The Planet My Ass!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Okay, I'm really sick of the libs and their global warming puke. When I was in transportation last year, I would travel through the expressways around Chicago. I couldn't begin to count how many SUV's and Hummers I would see with Kerry/Edwards stickers on the rear windows.Liberals
aren't out to save anything. All there doing is making what they want and what they have harder to obtain; they want it all for themselves. So the next time you libs tell me I shouldn't be driving an SUV or whatever, I think you need to tell it to your "vegie-burger buds"who drive one also.I've asked this question before and liberals have yet to answer:Why is it okay for you Chicago liberals to drive your hulking SUV's, but if I'm seen in one, that makes me an uncaring, mean-spirited bastard who doesn't care about the planet?

Oregon Governor To Fire State Climologist!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 When you read the article you'll find that what we say about Democrats is true. When it comes to their platform, they don't like having their ideas challenged. If you so much as question their intent they'll scandalize you.Liberals want 100% loyalty to their causes and issues. Global warming is no exception. OregonGovernor
, Ted Kulongoski (D) is wanting to remove state climologist George Taylor. Taylor has an office authorized by the state, however, his title was created by Oregon State
University in 1991. Because Taylor is not serving as a liberal propaganda machine for the Democrat's global warming issues, the Governor wants control over the entire office so he can appoint a liberal "brown-noser" to spew what is in line with his agenda.It's politicians like this who have ruined science and discovery. Science, in order to be effective, has to allow for disagreement. It has no place for one-sided political machines like the Democrats want it to be. From The Article:Kulongoski sai
Tony Dungy Shows Class, Dignity, And Faith!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 From Dungy
's own words:"I tell you what. I'm proud to be representing African-American coaches, to be the first African-American to win this. It means an awful lot to our country. [SNIP!] But again, more than anything, I've said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but Christian coaches, showing that you can win doing it the Lord's way. We're more proud of that".And despite the true grit in his stament, one has to wonder how long it will take the NFL to start issuing appologies to the media boneheads. Read more:Faith

Report Claims Global Warming Is Man Made!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "A panel of scientist have concluded that man made global warming will continue. The report says that man is "very likely" the cause of global warming and green house gas emissions. The burden of action has now been placed on governments to take action.Despite the attention this is getting in the media, Steven Milloy, founder of Junkscience.com , expressed down right disgust at the questionable status of editing processes the report went under.The AP article states:"It used only peer-reviewed published science and was edited by representatives of 113 governments who had to agree to every word. It was a snapshot of where the world is with global warming and where it is heading, but does not tell governments what to do.Milloy posted this on his website:"As everyone is probably by now aware, Friday, February 2, 2007 marks the release of the IPCC's political document: Assessment Report 4, Summary for Policymakers.

Rush Limbaugh Nominated For Nobel peace Prize!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Landmark Legal Foundation nominated radio host Rush Limbaugh
for the 2007 Nobel
peace prize. President of the foundation and radio show host Mark Levin states:"Everyday he gives voice to the valuesof democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equalapplication of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the NobelCommittee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peacefulworld for future generations."This nomination was announced on the same day ( yesterday ) Al Gore was nominated for his efforts for climate change.Now liberals are going to all of a sudden get all moral and self-righteous and say that the Nobel peace
Prize shouldn't be given to drug addicts.Okay, I'll buy that. Just as soon as you libs set the same standards to former President Jimmy Carter. Read more:Rush Limbaugh
France Threatens U.S. With "Carbon Tax"!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 (Feb,1) French President Chirac warned the United States to sign the worthless Kyoto Treaty or else face a carbon tax. Chirac said other countries who did not sign the protocol would face the same tax.Sounds like a con job to me, considering Kyoto's protocols have already cost a whopping estimated $295,307,722.00 and counting. 0.003062456 °C is the potential temprature saving by 2050 according to Junk Science.

Toyota Fears Of Backlash!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Basically what this article is saying is the usual typical b.s.:American car companies are crying because their cars are over-priced and suck. So now government is being called in to solve the problem. It just goes to show you, if you're successful in anyway, be rest assured your a glutton for punishment.Guess who is out to get the "evil" Toyota

More On Toyota!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In the same article:In the briefing to other Toyota
managers, Sudo cited political and social risks. The report, left unsecured on computers at the company's Georgetown, Ky., complex, said Toyota could come under fire for:• Not including enough minority-owned businesses in its supplier base. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, leader of the Rainbow PUSH activist group, has asked Toyota to improve diversity efforts.Okay, Jesse just got caught talking out of his ass again. A simple trip to the Toyota website would've revealed the following:..As part of the Best Companies for Diversity, Black Enterprise also recognized Toyota among its 10 Best Companies in Marketing Diversity for efforts including advertising, promotions, community outreach, and scholarships. In addition, Toyota was named among the 10 Best Companies in Supplier Diversity for its spending and relationships with ethnic and women-owned suppliers.
Update: U-46 Superintendent Pay Hike Confirmed!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Some of you may remember when I posted an unconfirmed rumor that U-46 School District (Elgin,IL) Superintendent
, Connie Neale demanded a salary hike $400k. It has been reported in the Daily Herald that Neale's salary is higher than any Superintendent's of school districts of the same size. This isn't only in the state, but the entire nation!The story did not confirm a dollar amount, nor did it publish any rumored perks ( company car,ect. ), however, the article reported some of the outrage by various people and officials.From the article's opening paragraph:Elgin Area School District U-46 Superintendent Connie Neale this year will be paid at least $100,000 more than any superintendent in the country directing a district of similar size and wealth. Comments from state Senator, Chris Lauzen ( Aurora,IL ):"This is about money and contracts and selfishness. What this does to damage the reputation of public education is just disgraceful."And I agree. Like I said in my past article, this Read more:Confirmed

Pelosi Accuses Troops Of Ethnic Cleansing!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 From the show " The News Hour " with Jim Lehrer:"I pray that it does. But the fact is we know that it would increase the odds of it working if there were some sincere efforts to engage the other countries in the region in the diplomatic solutions that are necessary to stabilize the region, and do the political work, do the political work -- that is to say, amend the constitution, include the Sunnis and others into the civic life of Iraq. That's where you go. You don't go into ethnic cleansing of neighborhoods and say, "Now we're going to referee." Read more:Pelosi

Dem Pro-Union Bill Would Eliminate Secret Ballot!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 From the article:"The bill, misleadingly named the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), strips employees of their right to a secret ballot election when deciding on whether or not unionize, and leaves a system called "card check" as their only option.Card check is a process in which employers agree to recognize the union if a majority of employees publicly sign cards requesting a union's representation. Under current law the card check process is usually followed by a secret ballot election to ensure that employees have not been pressured into signing." Read more:Ballot

That's the biggest drop of all nine border patrol sectors on the frontier with Mexico and double the average decline. The amount of marijuana seized in the Yuma sector fell 36 percent for the same period". Read more:Crossings
Ten Myths Of Global Warming Listed!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Christopher Horner compiles an interesting piece about global warming.From The Article:10. The U.S. is going it alone on Kyoto and global warming."Nonsense. The U.S. rejects the Kyoto Protocol's energy-rationing scheme, along with 155 other countries, representing most of the world's population, economic activity and projected future growth. Kyoto is a European treaty with one dozen others, none of whom is in fact presently reducing its emissions. Similarly, claims that Bush refused to sign Kyoto, and/or he withdrew, not only are mutually exclusive but also false. We signed it, Nov. 11, 1998. The Senate won't vote on it. Ergo, the (Democratic) Senate is blocking Kyoto. Gosh." Read more:Global

Lieberman Shift To GOP Possible!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "Last month, after Lieberman
told Democratic chief Sen. Harry Reid that he had "stopped attending the weekly Democratic lunch because he didn't feel comfortable discussing Iraq there, Reid offered to hold those discussions at another time. Lieberman has started attending again." But he also keeps in touch with Bush aide Stephen Hadley "every week or two."Lieberman is a prime example of what its like to be a Democrat that thinks independently. In the Republican party, if a member disagrees with his own, they don't shun him or make hasty efforts to destroy his campaign. In fact, the President supported many "moderates" for re-election.In the eyes of the Dems however, one disagreement or one attempt to disavow the party line and that Senator or Congressman is a case of damaged goods. All this liberal B.S. about "free thinking","creativity", or "free speech" is a bunch of crap. Read more:Possible

Delaware Governor Rebukes State Climatologist!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've said it before, I'll say it again: Science is not a propaganda machine! In order for science to be effective, one must allow for all possible explanation.Liberals don't see it that way though. These issues with state climatologists and governors are a prime example. Basically, these climatologists are saying that man may not be the cause of global warming, and these liberal governors are getting pissed that these guys aren't towing the leftist line.Basically, liberal governors want "YES" men.The fact liberals aren't the "free speech" crusaders they claim to be, isn't the only thing behind their Stalin like tactics to shut up global warming critics. It very well could be the fact that alot of governors want more money for their states or colleges. I've heard stories of funds being cut because a renegade teacher went against the grain.My theory on man made global warming: Follow the money stupid! Read more:Delaware
