Well, of course they're going to lie. When you have no facts to back up your claims your only choice is to fabricate evidence. It only takes about 30 min. of research and an open-mind to discern that this is a magician's trick.

New Life On Earth Baby!!
Well, life that we didn't know about anyway. Several thoughts popped into my mind while I was reading... Why is it that humans are always referred to as disturbing the delicate animal life by the same folks who claim that we are just very distant cousins of the same? Can't we all get along? Just curious..also, do you think that it is possible for some of these folks to start looking at other animals to determine if they too are guilty of overpopulation? I doubt it. Lastly, hypothetically of course, if it were possible for humans to have been around when the dinosaurs were here (no Palin jokes please) would we be at fault for that too?Sorry one last thing...you do realize that the only reason that a government is ever interested in anything is if it will lead them to more power.

How the death tax bulldozed a hole in the environment
The Left's tax policy has, once again, destroyed a small business, left us with one less local farm and killed a slew of old-growth trees. They stuck it to "The Rich" though...nice job!!

Anti-American or Anti-Green?
The spin-meisters will spin, that is what they do. This is not an isolated incident that can be looked at in a vacuum. I do not think that Obama put these there, a lower level staff member, even a the janitorial crew of the convention center probably did. But it is indicative of the culture that is created within an organization. Both McCain and Obama have "people" to take care of these things. McCain's people would have kept them for the next event. Obama's should have been smart enough to know that it gets this petty at this level. The other side looks for every angle. At the very least, though, wasn't this dubbed as a "Green Convention?" These flags can be recycled for the next 60 days; what a great statement that would have made to the country!!

Don't believe everything you see...or read.
I wanted to share this with my loyal readers because you simply cannot go through life turmoiled in the guilt that is constaintly foisted upon you by the fear industry. Is this to say that the truth is not out there? No. It is, but you cannot simply trust that the nightly news, or the daily paper has your best interest at the front of their minds. Bottom line is they are after the same thing that those they deamonize are... sales. They are not the altruistic do-gooders they claim to be.
You may not have liked Ronald Reagan, I did, but he popularized a very intelligent practice. Trust But Verify.

Global Warming: Logic or Big Government Hoax?
This is one of the most concise and honest assesments of the current debate you will see. You must, however, open your mind because much of what you have heard about this debate are lies and deception designed to strip you of your liberties. This post is not intended to scare or to whip up emotions, but rather to inform and enlighten.

Just a question
Why is it that when we discuss MAN-MADE Global warming we never ask ourselves how THE SUN might be changing, or dying even. I seem to remember from my Earth Science classes in school that not only do Solar flares have a significant impact upon us, but also stars die and this process takes millions of years. Why is it that it is my fault? Why is it required of me to live like a caveman? I am going to look into this further, but I just had to ask the obvious.

Are You Stomping the Environment Flat?
It is one thing to talk about "saving the Earth" from whatever catastrophe you might claim is around the corner. But it is quite another to have a reality check as to what certain proposals would mean to individuals in real terms.

Oil is evil, but soup is good food
Whenever the MSM (Main Stream Media) and the politicians want to vilify someone or something they put the word "big" in front of the name and then will tell you how you are getting fleeced by them and that they are bad, evil people who must be stopped by, of course, more regulation and interference in the free market.
I want to examine two reports that came out recently and one that didn't, but should have. Several weeks ago I wrote about Shell Oil's profits and how, when compared to their revenue, did not exhibit any signs of gouging. There is now similar moaning and gnashing of teeth about Exxon Mobil's earnings report. This is all making big news because it hurts more than ever to fill up the tank. I feel it too, I hate it and I want it to end. It is really putting me and my family in a bad financial spot.
In the 2006 fiscal year Shell oil posted net-profits of $26.311 Billion U.S. In fiscal '07 they upped it to $31.331 Billion. Exxon Mobil's dollars grew from $39.5 billion in '06 to $40.6 billion in '07, or did they? When evaluating profits it is not only critical, but the sole accurate method, to view profits in a net (after costs are removed) form and as compared to total sales, and all in the same time frame. Shell Oil grew from 8.25% profit in '06 to a whopping 8.8% profit in '07, not bad, but not really living off of the backs of the consumers either. Exxon Mobil, on the other hand, shrunk from 10.45% in '06 to a measly 10.03% in '07! Again, while larger than Shell, not exactly gauging. These are important numbers, because it is the only method used by investors when deciding where to invest their money.
Let us now turn our attention to a behemoth of a company that made more (as a percentage of gross revenue) off of the backs of the people than both of the oil companies. While me and my family are forced to go to Big Lots and Aldi just to scrape by these evil capitalists made profits of over 10% last year! Much more than Big Oil. I want Congress to act to regulate BIG SOUP!!! Campbell's Soup made 10.855% profit off of the backs of the American consumers and I want something done about it!!

Polar Bears
I came home from work the other day and my wife asked if I had heard that polar bears are now endangered. It struck me as odd because I remembered glossing over some bit of news earlier that day about the bears and, at the time, thought nothing of it. With all of the cajoling in the political world for this and that sweet little animal’s peaceful livelihood being destroyed by the evil humans, I take most of it with a grain of salt. The truth usually turns out to be just one more attempt by Environmentalist Whackos (the new communist party) to subvert America’s economic engine and fleece her people of a chunk of their hard earned cash. Make no mistake, you, my intrepid reader may genuinely care about the life and comfort of every last molecule on this fine planet, but those purporting to lead you to the promise land only want the power you will give them. They care nothing for the cute little bunnies, or the dangerous bears.
After hearing this bit of “news” and thinking back to some comments made by several unnamed family members of the plight of the polar bear and the shrinking of the Arctic ice I decided that it was high time a member of the unwashed masses investigated some facts. Here is what I found.
To begin with, while the Main Stream Media will have you all in a tizzy over yet another of natures sublime creatures being crowded out by the mean old Americans, the facts always seem to escape the so-called Progressives. The polar bear is doing just fine, and the weight loss you may have heard of is actually because there are so many of them now that the original food source, which was great at one point, is not enough for all of the mass of the bears. Their numbers increased from 2100 in ’97 to a whopping 2600 in ’04. You might say now that the problem is that we are taking their food, not so fast, they are eating it, and one problem at a time please. As for the report that they are being placed under the ESA, not true. This serves as yet another example of how the MSM is no longer a viable news source, but a propaganda machine seeking to spread lies so as to subvert your freedoms. Is that too wild for you to believe? O.K. then they are lazy and do an abhorrent job at vetting their stories. It took me less than an hour to find the truth.
What is happening is that The Bush administration was being threatened with a lawsuit to have the bears put under the ESA by Green peace and The Natural Resources Defense Council. At this point The Administration has agreed to spend the next year investigating the facts before they make a determination on the matter. The bottom line here is that the MSM lied to you.
But, why would these groups be so insistent to have a bear, not in peril, on this list? Politics, they are not just pure hearted animal lovers. They want this coup so as to further their Global Warming Hysteria. They can’t seem to do it with facts, so they will push it with subterfuge. Not only are the bears not endangered, The Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 provides for Eskimos to hunt these bears. The Canadian Press Newswire reports, “in 3 arctic villages polar bears ‘are so abundant there’s a public safety issue.’ The increases in the populations of the bears have the Inuits wanting to kill more bears”! The MSM didn’t mention that in their little story did they? You can’t have it both ways folks.
One other piece of this is the reason they want the polar bears on under the ESA. It will further their even bigger lie that Man-Made GW is causing the Arctic ice to melt. It shocks me that, otherwise intelligent people do not take the time to investigate this for themselves but will just take the dribble of some has-been without considering that he may have an agenda. The facts show that the Arctic ice has a natural degree of variability. I have looked at the data with my own eyes provided by The Canadian Ice Survey. “It was as warm in the late 1930’s as at the end of the 20th century, yet 70% of the build up of atmospheric greenhouse gasses since pre-industrial times occurred after 1940” – Marlo Lewis, CEI.
The bottom line is before you go off fearing the worst because of some story you heard on the news, a website you clicked on, or the latest Oscar winning screamer, check the facts for yourself. One day you may wake up in a world drastically more oppressive than this only to realize that the reasons they gave you for removing your liberties were a fabrication designed to confuse you. But, then it might be too late.
I will leave you with the thoughts of two fine Americans:
“Government is like a fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” – G. Washington
“Think, Michael, Think!” – D.M. Poast
