Speaking of green related crap, the piece written over the weekend for the Washington Post by Stan Cox titled “In the heat wave, the case against air conditioning” clogged the toilet. Mr. Cox actually argues in the article that the reason we need air conditioning is because we use air conditioning. Huh? Following this disjointed logic would lead one to ask why was air conditioning invented then in the first place? Oh I know, I know!!! Because the Earth has experienced fevers long before the con of global warming started so someone decided “what if we make a device that spits out cool air to make life more comfortable”? Presto: the air conditioner is born. Too simple for you? Doesn’t make sense since clearly air conditioning is causing the Earth to warm? Is this my German cousin reading this?

Before I move on let me predict the future for the first time ever here @Fishdeck: In the future central heating units and their ugly children space heaters will be blamed for global cooling. You heard it here first. (I expect credit for this theory Mr. Cox when you write this in a few years).

What else is irking me you may ask? How about the complete disregard for the rule of law in our country. The inJustice Department continues its assualt on our fine country by first suing the fine state of Arizona and now announcing that it will not sue sanctuary cities. See this article at the Washington Times for more info. What I don’t understand is how in the world the feds can sue a state for attempting to enforce a federal law that the feds aren’t enforcing but refuse to sue a city who thumbs its nose at federal law? Apparently Arizona should quickly rewrite the law to include some sort of language that contradicts federal law so the feds will stay away. (Your welcome Arizonians, all you had to do was ask and I would have helped craft the bill in the first place).

Boy this post is getting really long, I blame the withdrawals I am having after the World Cup. I have nothing to do now other than ramble here so….

How about this one: Utah agencies probe alleged illegal immigrant list. First, who really spends time making a list of illegal immigrants? That must have taken months to compile such a dossier when taking a video camera to a Home Depot takes what five minutes tops? I kid, I honestly do. The reason I mentioned this article was because the list contains due dates of pregnant women which is beyond creepy. Does the government store this information or was this something these people gathered on their own? Either way it is just weird and so reminded me of my favorite show Lost (minus the ending which really sucked).

Lastly, I read recently where the world is looking to China for hopes of economic recovery. I could stop right there because that sucks enough already but then I came across this today at Yahoo News: Beijing starts gating, locking migrant villages. To detour crime, China has now gated in certain communities at night. WTF? And the rest of the world is like, “gee, I hope they can lead our economy into the 21st century”. These communists couldn’t lead us into the 17th century let alone today, so why don’t we wise up while we can, take our lumps, and show the world how to rebuild a nation without throwing aside our morals in the process. This is America and we need to start acting like the nation that won not one but two world wars last century instead of sitting around in our Chinese made sweatpants hoping that the economy that still employs child labor can save us.

House Democrats’ point man in the war-funding showdown with the White House today dismissed U.S. military gains in Iraq and vowed to tighten the purse strings until President Bush accepts a pullout plan.

“Look at all the people that have been displaced, all the [lost] oil production, unemployment, all those type of things,” said Rep. John P. Murtha, chairman of Appropriations defense subcommittee. “We can’t win militarily.”

Hmm, so if we can’t win militarily what are we suppose to do John, pass a comprehensive health care plan and the world will just love us to death?  If you read that second paragraph in the quote above, doesn’t it almost seem like he is talking about America?  Displaced people who have had to move from the cities they grew up in because the city has been over run by illegal immigrants and the lack of American drilling at home to appease the freaky environmentalists.  Shouldn’t we be happy Iraq has lost oil production?  Won’t that help save the frickin’ planet?  I am disgusted that millions of Americans have given their lives for this country and we show our gratitude by electing ass clowns like John Murtha.  Give yourself a pat on the back Pennsylvania, you must be proud!

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday that his religious beliefs influence his plans for how to protect the environment.

Speaking before religious leaders and others at what he called an “interfaith forum on climate change,” the Illinois senator said God has entrusted humans with the responsibility of caring for the earth, and “we are not acting as good stewards of God’s earth when our bottom line puts the size of our profits before the future of our planet.”

“It is our responsibility to ensure that this planet remains clean and safe and livable for our children and for all of God’s children,” he told about 200 people gathered at the downtown public library. “But in recent years, science has made it undeniably clear that our generation is not living up to this responsibility. Global warming is not a someday problem, it is now.”

Personally, my faith is what leads me to believe global warming is an absolute joke. I’m not saying we can’t make the Earth heat up a tiny bit, I just don’t believe man is capable of destroying it. It is clear from scripture that there are people on Earth when Christ returns. If global warming can destroy the Earth how would this be possible? Perhaps Barack should read the Bible before he claims to know God’s desire for us on the planet He created. This is simply a bum politician trying to woo fence sitters by using flowery language to invoke a greater purpose in people. Or as I like to call it, a deceptive plan to destroy capitalism and create a socialist state.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.

The former North Carolina senator told a forum by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, yesterday he thinks Americans are willing to sacrifice.

Why should we stop John?  Because you asked us nicely?  Hogwash.  Despite the article title of this post I don’t begrudge Edwards’ compensation for his previous work (our legal system does need some serious fixing but that is a story for another day).  He worked hard and made his money, end of story.  On the same hand though, the rest of America also works hard for what they have and if they choose to drive an SUV over a gay magnet  Prius more power to them.  Are we really going to allow the government to tell us what kind of car we can buy?  This is America, home of the automobile, it’s not going to happen here John, unless you sue every American who chooses to exercise their free choice. 

There is a serious problem with the future of our water supply. New data shows the drought worsening, and proposed water projects falling short of the future needs.

The warmest July on record in Las Vegas with an average of 107 degrees and half of the normal rainfall for the month didn’t help. This is a race against the worsening drought. A race against population growth and a race against running out of water in Las Vegas.

Very interesting and very alarming, since I love going to Vegas. Problem is the article is ever so slightly misleading. From the National Climatic Data Center web site located here:

However, the persistent atmospheric pattern that brought cooler than average temperatures to the East contributed to record and near-record warmth in the West. The warmest July since statewide records began in 1895 occurred in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Nevada had its second warmest July and Arizona and Utah their third warmest Julys on record. Alaska was 1.2F (0.7C) warmer than the 1971-2000 mean in July.

Maybe it is all the global warming hysteria lately that leads people to believe that the weather is more extreme than in years past but that doesn’t excuse lazy reporting. This article leads one to assume that global warming is one of the factors contributing to the problem. Unfortunately for you chicken little’s that believe global warming will destroy us, the average July temperature in Las Vegas is 106 degrees. I’m not a mathematician but if 107 is the second highest and 106 is the average, it would have to be pretty close to 106 every July to have 106 as the average.

So why point out a possible simple mistake that would usually not change the story much if any? Because I fear this is intentional information propaganda to influence people’s belief in global warming. A single story in and of itself is not enough but when there is a steady stream of information seemingly attempting to sway one’s opinion we must do what we can to counter balance it. Perhaps it really is as simple as people being more sensitive to weather change these days or it could, as I believe, be part of a sinister attempt to cripple this country.

UNITED NATIONS – Nearly 100 countries speaking at the first U.N. General Assembly meeting on climate change signaled strong support for negotiations on a new international deal to tackle global warming.

There was so much interest among worried nations ? many facing drought, floods and searing heat ? that the two-day meeting was extended for an extra day so that more countries could describe their climate-related problems, how they are coping, and the help they need.

Why is it that so many countries are absolutely convinced that they can do something collectively to stop global warming? That is assuming we are actually suffering from global warming. If global warming is such a definite future catastrophe to the planet Earth, why aren’t all countries held accountable and not just the industrialized world? Giving a pass to developing nations because emission restrictions might hurt their economy is a joke. That type of thinking exposes the global warming chicken little’s real motivation, socialism. Hamper industrialized countries so developing ones can catch up economically and end the dominance of western civilization.

The big problem here isn’t that the U.N. will create another treaty to curb a threat that man didn’t create; the problem is that too many of us actually believe the world will end if the issue isn’t addressed. News flash for you non-believers out there, the Earth will still exist at least a thousand years from now. How do I know? From Revelations chapter 20 at the Blue Letter Bible:

Rev 20:1
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.

Rev 20:2
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;

Rev 20:3
and he threw him into the abyss, and shut {it} and sealed {it} over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

Rev 20:4
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I {saw} the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Hmm, to sum up the above, Christ will reign on Earth for a thousand years before the final judgement. If you continue to read on in this chapter one will find that Satan is released after the thousand years and gathers the nations of the world for one final battle in which the Lord wins again. (Sorry to give away the ending again but I can’t help it, it’s not really a secret.) So to review again for our thick headed new age friends, the Earth can not be destroyed by man and we know the nations of the world still exist a thousand years from now so please take your ignorant idea of man made global warming to the Lord, He will set you straight.
