Vote for Mike Huckabee?

Here are some reasons not to vote for Mike Huckabee...

• He's on record supporting the Supreme Court's sodomy-is-a-constitutional-right decision. It had been denounced by virtually every conservative and Christian group in America.

• Huckabee opposes school choice, earning him the endorsement of the NEA of New Hampshire. This must be some type of political move. (btw- NEA stands for No Educating Allowed)

• He promoted giving in-state tuition in Arkansas to illegal immigrants from Mexico — but not to U.S. citizens. "I don't believe you punish the children," he said, "for the crime and sins of the parents."

• He also said that illegal immigration gives Americans a chance to make up for slavery.

• In a widely quoted remark, Huckabee denounced a Republican bill that would merely require proof of citizenship to vote and receive government benefits as "un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life," according to the Arkansas News Bureau.

• Huckabee wants to get kids involved in music at an early age because he believes it leads to a more balanced and developed brain. (according to Ann Coulter they'd be balanced like the Jackson's while the Osmond's are voting for Romney)

• He supports a nationwide smoking ban anyplace where people work, constitutional protection for sodomy, big government, higher taxes and government benefits for illegal aliens.

Silly Quote

"Models are like baseball players. We make a lot of money quickly, but all of a sudden we're 30 years old, we don't have a college education, we're qualified for nothing, and we're used to a very nice lifestyle. The best thing is to marry a movie star."
Cindy Crawford, Supermodel
It's frightening to think that she's old enough to vote.

Ice Storm Hits Oklahoma

We've been hit with a terrible ice storm. It's similar to the one 5 years ago. Trees have fallen because of the weight of the ice and that's created quite a lot of damage. Also, electricity is out in many parts of the state which means heat is off in many homes. Let's not forget the auto accidents and disrupted phone service.

President Bush declared the state an emergency area and help is on the way.

It's been raining all day and it's going to freeze tonight.

Oy!

The King and King

Chalk another one up for the extreme left. There's a pro homosexual book called "King and King". A king, a man, marries another man which makes him king, too. This brings up a question. Who's in charge of the country? At least with the realistic approach of king and queen the king is the decision is obvious.

Here's the ringer. It's supposed to be read to second graders. Maybe if the book ended with both of them contracting AIDS and dying a miserable death and the moral of the story was not be homosexual then maybe it would be worth reading.

This isn't a popular stand with my homosexual family members and friends. They still love me and I them.

The Carnivores are Starving

I've been going to church for a long time. Except for a few years in the 70's it's been about 50 years. Through those years the main course was always meat. What I mean is the preachers would explain things from the Bible that would challenge the congregation. There would be a moving of the Holy Spirit and tugging at the heart to do the right thing. Revivals would bring many people to Jesus or bring Christians to their knees and they'd get back on track. Rotten people would be convicted and their lives would change. Through the Scriptures we would be taught, reproofed, corrected and grounded in doctrine.

Things have changed, and not for the better. It's rare to go to a church and hear sound preaching. These days the preaching, or lecturing, is lame. Bible is used but it's not allowed to work on it's own. Writers have to be quoted ad nauseum. Shaky theology is taught and nobody stands up against it. The wooing of the Holy Spirit used to be the power of sermons. Now it's seemingly cast to the side.

We're given all this information but not taught how to use it or what to do with it. Evangelism is lost to the winds. Jesus' words of go an tell are substituted for come join our party and feel good. We're given a steady diet of vegetable broth. Not even a chunk of tofu. Just clear vegetable broth.

The carnivores are starving. Hey preachers, throw us some meat.

Second Thoughts

Today I came to the conclusion that it's not a good idea to rehash the 35 inconvenient errors in algore's global warming debacle. You can find evidence all over the internet and there's no reason to spend the time at this moment.

algore Error #2 Pacific Islands Drowning

Hey, I'm sorry I've been so long. Life has been busy. Here's the next installment of why algore is wrong. Make that very wrong and not even close to being right.

Gore says low-lying inhabited Pacific coral atolls are already being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming, leading to the evacuation of several island populations to New Zealand. However, the atolls are not being inundated, except where dynamiting of reefs or over-extraction of fresh water by local populations has caused damage.

Furthermore, corals can grow at ten times the predicted rate of increase in sea level. It is not by some accident or coincidence that so many atolls reach just a few feet above the ocean surface.

Image Ms. Kreider says, “The IPCC estimates that 150 million environmental refugees could exist by the year 2050, due mainly to the effects of coastal flooding, shoreline erosion and agricultural disruption.” However, the IPCC cannot be basing its estimate on sea-level rise, since even its maximum projected rise of just 30 cm (1 ft) by 2050 would not cause significant coastal flooding or shoreline erosion. There are several coastlines (the east coast of England, for instance) where the land is sinking as a consequence of post-ice-age isostatic recovery, or where (as in Bangladesh) tectonic subduction is similarly causing the land to sink. But such natural causes owe nothing to sea-level rise.

There have been no mass evacuations of populations of islanders as suggested by Gore, though some residents of Tuvalu have asked to be moved to New Zealand, even though the tide-gauges maintained until recently by the National Tidal Facility of Australia show a mean annual sea-level rise over the past half-century equivalent to the thickness of a human hair. The problem with the Carteret Islands, mentioned by Ms. Kreider, arose not because of rising sea levels but because of imprudent dynamiting of the reefs by local fishermen.

In the Maldives, a detailed recent study showed that sea levels were unchanged today compared with 1250 years ago, though they have been higher in much of the intervening period, and have very seldom been lower.

Image A well-established tree very close to the Maldivian shoreline and only inches above sea level was recently uprooted by Australian environmentalists anxious to destroy this visible proof that sea level cannot have risen very far.

UK Judge Rules algore's Sci-fi Movie Contains Misinformation

By now you've heard about the judge in the High Court in London ruling that 9 of the 35 factual errors were serious enough to require the United Kingdom's government to pay substantial costs to a plaintiff. That's right, algore's fiction movie has flaws that are serious enough to sue the government for showing it. The judge also ruled that if the movie is to be shown equal time must be given to responsible science.

This will infuriate the lefts dogma of intolerance and hate but it's time that the right thing be done instead of blindly following so called good intentions.

Today I'm going to begin showing the 35 factual errors of algore's fictional depiction of global warming. If you would like to see all of it right now you can go to the Science and Public Policy webpage.

Throughout this report you'll read quotes from Ms. Kalee Kreider. She is algore's spokeswoman and “environment advisor”. She also said the movie presented “thousands and thousands of facts.” It did not: just 2,000 “facts” in 93 minutes would have been one fact every three seconds. The left is hoping you won't use your math skills to verify their blanket statements.

Without any further ado here's the first factual error.

ERROR 1 Sea level "rising 6 m"

Gore says that a sea-level rise of up to 6 m (20 ft) will be caused by melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland. Though Gore does not say that the sea-level rise will occur in the near future, the judge found that, in the context, it was clear that this is what he had meant, since he showed expensive graphical representations of the effect of his imagined 6 m (20 ft) sea-level rise on existing populations, and he quantified the numbers who would be displaced by the sea-level rise.

The IPCC says sea-level increases up to 7 m (23 ft) above today’s levels have happened naturally in the past climate, and would only be likely to happen again after several millennia. In the next 100 years, according to calculations based on figures in the IPCC’s 2007 report, these two ice sheets between them will add a little over 6 cm (2.5 inches) to sea level, not 6 m (this figure of 6 cm is 15% of the IPCC’s total central estimate of a 43 cm or 1 ft 5 in sea-level rise over the next century). Gore has accordingly exaggerated the official sea-level estimate by approaching 10,000 per cent.

Ms. Kreider says the IPCC estimates a sea-level rise of “59 cm” by 2100. She fails to point out that this amounts to less than 2 ft, not the 20 ft imagined by Gore. She also fails to point out that this is the IPCC’s upper estimate, on its most extreme scenario. And she fails to state that the IPCC, faced with a stream of peer-reviewed articles stating that sea-level rise is not a threat, has reduced this upper estimate from 3 ft in 2001 to less than 2 ft (i.e. half the mean centennial sea-level rise that has occurred since the end of the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago) in 2007.

Ms. Kreider says the IPCC’s 2007 sea-level calculations excluded contributions from Greenland and West Antarctica because they could not be quantified. However, Table SPM1 of the 2007 report quantifies the contributions of these two ice-sheets to sea-level rise as representing about 15% of the total change.

ImageThe report also mentions the possibility that there may be an unquantified further contribution in future from these two ice sheets arising from “dynamical ice flow.” However, the Greenland ice sheet rests in a depression in the bedrock created by its own weight, wherefore “dynamical ice flow” is impossible, and the IPCC says that temperature would have to be sustained at more than 5.5 degrees C above its present level for several millennia before half the Greenland ice sheet could melt, causing sea level to rise by some 3 m (10 ft).

Finally, the IPCC’s 2007 report estimates that the likelihood that humankind is having any influence on sea level at all is little better than 50:50.

The judge was accordingly correct in finding that Gore’s presentation of the imagined imminent threat of a 6 m (20 ft) sea-level rise, with his account of the supposed impact on the present-day populations of Manhattan, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, etc., etc, was not a correct statement of the mainstream science on this question.

Oscar Wyatt is a democrat? But... but... but...

According to Reuters some prosecutors promised on Monday that they are going to prove that Texas oilman Oscar Wyatt paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's government, earning him a privileged position in Iraq.

Can you believe it? The man guilty in the oil for food scam is a democrat! When did dems become oil producers?

Wyatt, an 83-year-old self-made oil tycoon (tycoons are richer than the Bushes), faces five counts in Manhattan federal court including engaging in prohibited financial transactions with Iraq, deals alleged to have violated the U.N. oil-for-food program designed to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraq while it was under international sanctions.

What's the deal? Have we been duped? I'm totally dumbfounded?

As you know, according to the press, only rich Republicans are involved in oil. With that being the absolute truth, from the NY Times, can somebody explain how Wyatt, a rich, rich, rich democrat, became involved with oil? The man founded Coastal Oil and sold it for 17 Billion!

Oh, he is very vocal about not being a fan of President Bush and his father.

How can a democrat become so successful in big oil without being in cahoots with them? Why didn't Wyatt blow the price gouging whistle on President Bush? Could it be that the President doesn't have the power that the media says he does?

What will we do? Can the Times defend this?

Miller Brewing Pulls Logo From 'Last Supper' Advertisement

September 26, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - The Miller Brewing Company, a sponsor of this weekend's homosexual "leather" street fair in San Francisco, has asked to have its logo removed from an advertising poster that has offended some Christians.

The advertisement portrays Christ and his disciples as half-naked sado-masochists.

"While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately," the company told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday.

Notes on the Iranian President Visiting the USA

As you know, Mahmoud I’m-a-nut-job has arrived in the United States. You know he was issued a visa to come here. Isn’t that amazing? You need a visa to get into the United States? When did they start with that? -- Jay Leno

iran’s president gave a speech today. Lots of people upset about it. New Yorkers said, “If we want to hear a short-tempered Iranian man yell at us, we’ll take a cab.” -- Conan O'Brien

You know the interesting part? After he landed he drove his own cab in from the airport. -- Jay Leno

Note: the word 'actually' was removed because it's a useless word. iran and president were intentionally spelled using lower case so as not to give unnecessary significance to that country or it's leader -- Don

Division

There are many topics that cause division. Politics and religion are two common ideas that get us riled up. Outrageous comments spew out of our mouths like lava from a volcano and often they’re just as hot. These two fields alone create a coterie of subtopics as vast as a prairie dog town.

This weekend I realized another thing that divides people like a butcher’s cleaver. It’s music.

WHAT!

That’s right. Those mellifluous tones that bring us calming thoughts or send us to Dreamland can instantly bring disharmony and hostility to another. Think about it for a minute. Put on a Led Zeppelin CD with a room full of country fans. Metal heads would rather die than listen to anything else. Have you ever tried to discuss opera with anybody?

Get the picture?

This morning I was in church and we Baptists play music. It’s an important part of our worship. During the service there was a tune I didn’t care for. To me it was just a monotonous repetition. I was momentarily distracted from worship. But as I looked around there were many people singing from their hearts. I realized it wasn’t about me. I prayed.

Even in church we’ve allowed the music to divide us. Churches have two services not because of a growing congregation but because of the division music has created. It’s one thing to become concerned when the preacher is off base or spends too much time not preaching from the Bible. But to make the type of music we sing become most important is a serious problem. It becomes all about us instead of all about the Savior.

Music divides.

==========================================================================================

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgery. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said: "I'm so sorry, Cuddles has passed away."

The distressed owner wailed: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," he replied.

"How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean, you haven't done any testing. He might just be in a coma."

The vet rolled his eyes and left the room, returning a few moments later with a black labrador retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said: "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100 per cent certifiably, a dead duck."

Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$350!" she cried. "$350 just to tell me my duck is dead?"

The vet shrugged. "I'm sorry. If you'd taken my word for it, the bill would have been $40, but what with the lab report and the cat scan-"

Is Sex Education Working?

I just read "Mallard Fillmore" and was reminded of when I was a school kid in the 50' & 60's. Back then the teachers spent their time teaching core subjects such as English, arithmetic, science and history. We never heard any instruction on sex or birth control because that was the parents job.

Today's generations are shown sex education videos. The parents can certainly opt to not have their kid attend but with the super self centered condition of todays parents they're going to let their kids stay. Why should they have to do all the work? (read - talk to their kids when someone else can)

Which generation had less STD's? Unwanted pregancies? Better educated kids?

Although the cartoon is funny it hits home.

"Going Green" not a big deal to consumers

This just in from CNSNews

By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor
August 15, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - Despite unwavering attention from the media, government and business, global warming is only of moderate concern to most consumers, according to a new survey of consumers and their environmental attitudes.

"Consumers are not drinking the Kool-Aid when it comes to green," said J. Walker Smith, president of the Yankelovich, Inc., marketing firm, which released the survey results on Monday.

"While they're highly aware of environmental issues due to the glut of media attention," said Smith, "the simple fact is that 'going green' in their everyday life is simply not a big concern or a high priority."

This is "the first study of its kind to examine how much consumers truly care about green issues," stated the research firm, based in Chapel Hill, N.C., in a news release, which further noted that only 34 percent of consumers feel much more concerned about environmental issues today than a year ago.

These groups largely use "spoke-alarmists whose own wretched excesses expose the movement's hypocrisy and/or lack of seriousness," Horner said. As a result, "the consuming public sees this for what it is: a fashion accessory or statement of fashionability, but not a crisis." (Don sez - algore consumes at least 12 times more energy than the average American)

Telephone calls and e-mails seeking comments from such "green" groups as the Sierra Club, Greenpeace International, the Environmental Defense Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council were not returned by press time. But Smith had some good news for environmental activists. (Don sez - is anybody surprised? They can't refute science.) Read the article...

Help algore!

Hey! algore is in trouble and you can help! Science is having a hard time proving humans are responsible for globalwarming (read algorewarming) and he needs real help before he can debate any qualified scientist. Believe it or not, Barbara Streisand and Sean Penn aren't scientists. Yeah, I about fainted, too, when I found that out.

Go to this website and see how you can help!

By the way, if you can help algore you can receive $100,000!!!

Help algore!

Here's what he's up against. Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (17,000 qualified scientists). Hurry! Help algore.
