First, we have the CRU break-in and all the email exposed that showed they were cherry picking the data. This also showed that if they received any official or formal freedom of information requests, they were to deny they had any of the information requested.
Second, we have Prof Phil Jones admit, “there has been no statistically significant warming in the past 15 years.” This is the clown who developed the ‘hockey stick’ graph that the IPCC used to justify yelling “the sky is falling!”
Third, the study that suggested the seas would rise at least one meter, has been withdrawn from Nature due to some significant errors in the data used to arrive at two separate conclusions, specifically those used by the IPCC to yell “the sky is falling!”.
Fourth, the head wank at the UN Climate Division resigns because he sees the writing on the outhouse wall.
If you notice, the progressives, the environuts, and the left wing Dims are acting like the rub has been pulled out from under them. They are beginning to realize they are not going to get their global redistribution of wealth and green energy frauds passed into law by any major government.
Why do you think Obama wanted this crap passed within his first year? He knew that a lie was only good for so long before the thin film of what appeared to be truth began to fail and the truth showed through the cracks.
Good job to all those who continue to apply the pressure! Keep it up!
Here are today’s load. It’s amazing how all of this is starting to come out. It’s stuff people have been saying and shouted down for for years, and now it’s becoming more mainstream. Of course, you will notice that the mainstream media isn’t picking it up.

I have some links for you. These are from DrudgeReport.com that I have collected over the past 5 days or so. If you get the chance, you need to read these and then do your own research. I think you will find, even if you are a hard core believer, there are some serious flaws in all of this research, and certainly enough that this needs to be researched by a whole lot more people than those being funded by pro-green cash sources.
The results of that research needs to be verified by other groups and published in real peer review journals, not those created for the specific purpose of faking a review process.
Anyway, the oldest links are at the bottom, newest at the top.
Professors in U-turn, will publish all data…

Isn’t that last link a doosey? Even with all of this evidence, Obama is still willing to destroy the way of life of the First World countries so he can rid himself of the guilt associated with living in the US.
Congress Plays Hooky on Fridays Despite Pledge by Democrats to Work All Week
Democratic leaders promised when their party regained control of the House three years ago that lawmakers would work five-day weeks, but that plan apparently didn’t work.
But a recent analysis found that after a fairly energetic first half of this year, the House has settled into what Politico calls a “rather leisurely routine” of two-and-a-half day workweeks.
For example, only one vote has been held on a Friday since the House returned for its fall session Sept. 8.
“We will, then, not plan to be here on Friday. I know that disappoints all of you,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said to applause and groans on Thursday.
Asked why the House isn’t in session Friday, Hoyer blamed the Senate, where key spending bills have been held up.
“I’m not going to hold people here to twiddle our thumbs,” he said.
The issue even made a rare appearance on the House floor this week.
“We don’t have some other bills, because, frankly, we can’t get 60 votes to consider them on the floor of the United States Senate,” he said. “I think that’s lamentable.”
—
Aides to the Democratic leadership contended that, for lawmakers, time spent off the House or Senate floor, or back in home districts, hardly amounts to a holiday.
And they said that under GOP leadership, the House work ethic was even worse.
With members breezing in on Tuesday afternoons, working hard on Wednesdays an jetting out of the Capitol by Thursday afternoon.
It appears even the leaders have no clue how to lead. Party doesn’t matter, this isn’t just the affliction of the Democrats, the Republicans are just as guilty. Imagine how long we would have our jobs if we only worked two and a half days each week…
I guess the taxpayers end up the winners in this whole issue; if they aren;t there, they can’t vote. If they can’t vote, they aren’t pissing our money down a rat hole.
Lawmakers Eye Untapped Stimulus Funds as Obama Proposes New Spending
After President Obama called on Congress to approve $250 payments to Social Security recipients to make up for not getting a cost-of-living increase, House Minority Leader John Boehner said he’d be “happy” to support it — so long as Congress takes the money out of the stimulus package.
With the bulk of the $787 billion stimulus package still unspent, some lawmakers say, President Obama should not be adding yet another $13 billion to the deficit by funding a one-time $250 Social Security payment.
—
“The stimulus bill is not working. The American people are asking, ‘Where are the jobs?’ And if we’re going to provide this benefit to our seniors, why don’t we take it from stimulus funds that clearly aren’t getting the job done?” Boehner said.
—
James Horney, director of federal fiscal policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said calls to divert the stimulus money are unwarranted. He said one of the reasons that economic growth is projected for next year is that a large portion of the stimulus is yet to be spent.
“The idea that somehow because it hasn’t been spent, that it’s not important for getting the economy going, is misguided,” he said.
But some, including the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, are warning about the clamor for new spending. Obama’s call for additional Social Security payments, for instance, drew recriminations on Friday’s newspaper editorial pages. Since seniors received a 5.8 percent boost in January, the additional $250 check was seen more as a political move than a necessary effort to relieve seniors. The Washington Post called it a bid to “buy off” seniors while adding another $13 billion to the national debt.
Horney said there’s “no justification” for the increase in terms of inflation, since overall consumer prices have fallen.
So now that they can’t spend it fast enough on shovel-ready projects, they want to still spend it, just give it away. I am not knocking the seniors getting a bit more, but you know, my last raise, a year ago, was 2.25%. I haven’t had a raise this year, and with the way things are going, you can bet there won’t be a cost of living adjustment, because I’m not a government employee or a union grunt. Of course, I pay a LOT of taxes. Where’s mine?

HARRY REID: “He talked about CBO saying that there would be $54 billion saved each year if we put caps on medical malpractice and put some restrictions — tort reform — $54 billion. Sounds like a lot of money, doesnt it, Mr. President? The answer is yes. But remember, were talking about $2 trillion, $54 billion compared to $2 trillion. You can do the math. We can all do the math. Its a very small percent.”
The site is one of 8,000 road and bridge projects approved under the $787 billion economic stimulus bill Obama signed just after taking office. Construction is under way on nearly 5,000 of those projects. Obama said many are coming in 10 to 20 percent under budget, which will allow the government to invest in more projects.
Obama said the current phase of the Fairfax parkway project will create new private sector jobs. His goal, he said, is an economy “where our stock market isn’t only rising again but our businesses are hiring again.”
Ok, I’m calling BS on this. Since when has a government road project EVER come in UNDER budget? Ever? And in VA? Are you serious? WHo believes this crap?
The problem here is that Obama is realizing his spend-a-thon is not working. Although they have spent 40% of the money so far, the rate of increase in unemployment hasn’t slowed, he is having a hard time explaining where all the “saved jobs” are, and he surely can;t explain why the unemployment rate breached 8% when he promised it wouldn;t if we threw the government printing presses at it.
The more this president speaks, the mroe trouble he gets himself in to. He can’t lead, he never has shown a penchant for leadership, and those he surrounded himself with as advisors, thugs, muscle, etc, are just as bad. They can all drive the getaway car but not many of them have any idea on how to get where they are going or who is going to go in the bank door first.
I don’t know why the Senate dweebs decided to actually post the current healthcare bill, because any resolutions to do just that were voted down by a party line vote (Dems voting against revealing it), but anyway, it has been posted.
The Congressional Budget Office is supposed to be a non-partisan orgianization that is supposed to go through all of these spending bills and give an honest, non-political opinion of what each bill will cost. Here is the Director’s opinion of this bill, as it was submitted above.
The Senate Finance Committee will be voting on this on Tuesday October 13th, 2009. Make sure you call these people and let them know they are barking up the wrong tree. Call them, fax them, email them. Do this to their offices in DC, do it to all of their home offices back in their states. You can call the Committee’s office at (202) 224-4515.
The two main people running this circus are Max Baucus (D-MT) and Chuck Grassley (R-NE). These are not the only people, the rest are listed here. Make sure you let them know that anything less than what you expect is unacceptable.
A friend of mine told me about this link today. House Minority Leader John Boehner apparently made the news by calling the new amnsty bill a “piece of s&^%”. It got Lou Dobbs’ attention. He reported on it here.
Once again, you need to call your congress critters and remind them who pays the bills. Remind them who puts THEM in their offices in DC and your local district. Remind them that if they don’t listen to you, that not only will you vote against them, you will make cash contributions to all their their opponents. Even if you don’t live in their district, the promises still work. And don’t forget, even if you don’t live in their district but they hold a leadership position - THEY DO REPRESENT YOU. Call Pelosi’s offices and let her know that she doesn’t speak for you. She might have only been elected by 170,000 votes, but she is the person who controls which bills ever see the light of day. If she doesn’t want them, they never make it to the floor of the house for discussion.
For years, we have heard the Left whine about how much the War in Iraq has cost our country, blah blah blah. According to the Congressional Research Service, the Iraq War during the whole Bush Administration (2003 to Jan 2009) has cost $622 billion.
Echoing this standard Liberal talking point was the Annointed One on his campaign trail:
“Because of the Bush-McCain policies, our debt has ballooned,” then-Sen. Barack Obama told a Charleston, W.V., crowd in March 2008. “This is creating problems in our fragile economy. And that kind of debt also places an unfair burden on our children and grandchildren, who will have to repay it.”
Now it seems that the Heritage Foundation has come out with a new report that says The Messiah will spend $880 billion in 2010 alone, on welfare programs, a total of $10.3 TRILLION over the next decade.
Obama’s spending proposals call for the largest increases in welfare benefits in U.S. history, according to a report by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. This will lead to a spending total of $10.3 trillion over the next decade on various welfare programs. These include cash payments, food, housing, Medicaid and various social services for low-income Americans and those at 200 percent of the poverty level, or $44,000 for a family of four. Among that total, $7.5 trillion will be federal money and $2.8 trillion will be federally mandated state expenditures.
How short Obama’s memory is. The Heritage Foundation also had this to say:
In that same West Virginia speech last year, Obama said, “When Iraq is costing each household about $100 a month, you’re paying a price for this war.”
The Heritage study says, “Applying that same standard to means-tested welfare spending reveals that welfare will cost each household $560 per month in 2009 and $638 per month in 2010.”
Geeze, $560-$638 a month? That’s what people’s mortgages are, in many parts of the country, and they will be responsible for that for welfare payments?
According to his White House budget proposal, President Barack Obama will increase annual federal welfare spending by one-third, from $522.4 billion to $697 billion in his first fiscal year. Adjusted for inflation, the combined two-year increase of $263 billion is greater than any increase in welfare spending in history.
By 2014, annual spending on welfare programs will reach $1 trillion for the fiscal year.
So it’s ok to spend a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR on welfare but not ok to spend $888 billion to protect our country from people who want us all dead over 6 years?
“None of the $800 billion being spent is counted as income, so the Census comes back and they say, ‘Oh my goodness, we have 40 million poor people. We need to spend more money,’” Rector explained. “That is a game the taxpayer can never win.”
Since it’s not being counted as income, that also means it is not being taxed. That means the half the estimated cost of the ObamaCare, >$500 BILLION in the first year, will not be taxed! Who covers the taxes on that? Who makes up for that?
Just think about this. I told a couple of liberal friends of mine about this report, and here were their replies:
<Lib_1> well fixin screwups doesn’t come cheap
<Lib_2> specially when they ran off with all the money
There’s no trying to reason with these people. Of course, Lib_2 also shamefully admitted he wrote in Reverend Al Sharpton because he knew the Rev didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning, and he didn’t like The Annointed One or McSame.
More of the article these quotes came from can be found here.
CNS News is reporting on a press conference the President of La Raza is supporting ObamaCare for illegals. Amazing… Was this unexpected?
National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia said that health care reform should include “everyone,” and this means illegal immigrants as well because with more people paying into the system it might lower the costs of health care.
Speaking to reporters Thursday at a press conference in support of President Barack Obama’s efforts to pass a government-led overhaul of the nation’s health care system, Murguia said that while the issue of illegal immigrants was politically difficult, there were “strong” arguments for covering the illegals.
“From our perspective there’s a strong case to be made in this country for us to reform health care [and] it ought to include everyone,” said Murguia. “There’s a lot of different reasons why we should try to reform this system once and for all so that everyone is covered. The more people who are covered, the more cost-effective and the more and better health outcomes we’re going to have.”
“We know that politically it’s very difficult right now to take on the issue of undocumenteds [but] there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be trying to cover as many people as possible, certainly when it comes to undocumented children,” she said. “Our goal should be to have health care reform for everyone.”
Mr President: “You Lie!”
At a speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in September, President Obama said, “I want to be clear: If someone is here illegally, they won’t be covered under this plan. That’s a commitment I’ve made.”
Keep up the pressure on ALL senators and representatives! We have got to bury this!
Thankfully, the International Olympic Committee saw through the BS and did not give the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago. Maybe they saw the corruption… Maybe they saw the crime rates… Maybe they thought about the fact that summer in Chicago might really suck.
Thank you OIC for using your brains.
This must be a blow for the Bamster. He and his wife tried so hard to tell the world what it would mean to them, personally. Who cares? It’s not about THEM.
And in true, liberal media fashion, Obama’s failure did not make the froint page of the New York Times, it was in the Sports section. You think if Chicago had won the bid that it would have been on teh front page of every newspaper in the country?
I think what was interesting was that former I.O.C. member Kai Holm said it best. It was a hit-and-run by Obama. This was not well thought out (does this sound familiar with his other stunts? ObamaCare, Cap and Tax, GM buyout?).
The appearance by the Obamas was hoped to overcome some of those problems, but the former I.O.C. member Kai Holm told The Associated Press that the brevity of his appearance might have hurt. Holm called it “too businesslike,” adding, “It can be that some I.O.C. members see it as a lack of respect.” (link)
Could it have been that maybe the IOC doesn’t respect Obama? Maybe his apologies and lack of spine demonstrated with all of his other responsibilities told them that Chicago couldn’t be trusted to build the facilities without cost over runs and corruption?
Maybe this is the first chink falling from the brick walls of the Obama Administration. Maybe the announcement today of the increase in unemployment to 9.8% (a 26 year high)might have had something to do with it, especially after promising if we spent $780 BILLION, unemployment wouldn’t go over 8%.
Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end. The house of cards is beginning to fall…
