An article in the New York Times describes the tensions between climate scientists and meteorologists over the issue of anthropogenic global warming (AGW).  

The debate over global warming has created predictable adversaries, pitting environmentalists against industry and coal-state Democrats against coastal liberals.

But it has also created tensions between two groups that might be expected to agree on the issue:| MORE ›

FrontPage Magazine published a follow-up to David Swindle’s article of yesterday, about the indoctrination of America’s college students. Like the first part of this article, I advise you to read it. It’s a bit long, yes, but it’s well worth your time.

David first explains how and why he turned his back on the progressive ideology he held dear in college and before:| MORE ›

Over at Pajamas Media, readers were asked which event they would be more comfortable attending: A Tea Party Rally in Searchlight, Nevada.  Or an anti-war rally in Los Angeles, California.  As is typically which such posts, a series of images are posted showcasing each rally.  And as is the case with each, usually only the worst are showcased, in order to make that oh-so-necessary political point.

As people debate the Constitutionality of the individual mandate, a common argument I hear is that because the penalty is done through taxes, its perfectly legitimate.

I was thinking about the reconciliation bill yesterday and I thought of something:

We know now that the only reason the Senate bill was passed in the House is that some uneasy Congressmen were promised changes in the reconciliation bill.  And yet, Pelosi didn’t keep the Senate bill at her desk until reconciliation was passed, as some observers predicted she might.| MORE ›

By golly, I got another email from President Obama! Last time he emailed me, it was to thank me for my efforts to push back against Obamacare, now it  is – a bit awkwardly – to co-sign the health care bill recently passed by Congress, and signed by his majesty himself earlier today:

This morning, I gathered with members of Congress, my administration, and hardworking volunteers from every part of the country to sign comprehensive health care reform into law.| MORE ›

Normally, when I write for this blog, I try to be moderate in tone and temperament, even though I make no effort to disguise my classical liberal outlook. Right now, though, I’m really pissed off about the vile, corrupt health care “reform” bill (soon to be law).

On his show today, Rush Limbaugh said of the liberals/progressives, “We need to defeat these bastards. We need to wipe them out.| MORE ›
