Come Visit us While we Still Exist

Posted By Dave Snope

Let this Liberal Grand Experiment reach it's ultimate utopian dream: a state comprised entirely of unionized government workers providing services to retired unionized government workers, illegal immigrants, and people on state disability, all overseen by 1960's hippies-turned-civil-rights-lawyers.

Obama's Budget: ADD 6.4 Trillion To Debt!

Posted By Dave Snope

There are about 50 million taxpayers in the country. Let's be generous and say that half of them support the Obamanomics. Let's have these people pay for this additional required revenue since they voted for him.

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that Rod is an average taxpayer.

Rod, please submit your check for $256,000 immediately to do your fair share to support this president's policies of fairness and equality. Do what's right for economic justice.

CO2 Levels Highest...

Posted By Dave Snope

Great! How nice for plant life and healthy biological diversity.

The neat thing is that CO2 is going up while temperature is going down. As usual it doesn't correlate to temperature, right there in their own study.

The not-so-neat thing is that they chose a historical CO2 minimum period to begin their CO2 timeline. The fact that it's gone up 7% since then is almost trivial on a geologic time scale. CO2 had been dropping for last 150 million years, from about 2000 ppm (with a large uncertainty) during the Jurassic Era. It went down to almost 1/10th of previous levels, yet temperature was flat for the first 100 million years. No correlation to CO2...

...but I digress. What was your point again?

Risks of Sea Level Rise

Posted By Dave Snope

Oh joy, a new computer model base on horse$**t. Just like the old computer models based on horse$**t, but more refined. What an utter waste of taxpayer's money. It looks like make-work for researchers and programmers to keep them off food stamps. Might as well pay them to study the environmental impact of the moon being made of brie vs. camembert.

There is no scientific basis for the sea level to rise one meter. They start their research with a horse$**t premise. It has risen less than 4 inches in the last 100 years during which there was a claimed hockeystick of temperature increase. It will not rise more than 4 more inches in the next 100 years, and it's more likely to start leveling off much sooner.

CEA CEO on Obama: Most Anti-Business Pres. Ever

Posted By Dave Snope

Obama has helped on industry tremedously:

Boom times roll on for U.S. gun business
Late Wednesday, Sturm Ruger said that in the first quarter, it had received orders for more than 1 million units. And despite “efforts to increase production rates, the incoming order rate exceeds our capacity to rapidly fulfill these orders,” Sturm Ruger said.
...

As an industry, firearms have barely felt the impact of the downturn. In fact, the opposite has been true.

Starting in 2008, it has grown almost constantly, fueled by economic uncertainty and never-realized worries that President Barack Obama and the then-Democratic controlled Congress would seek to rein in gun rights.

America's Number 1 Foe?

Posted By Dave Snope

I don't know what Romney is on about, but I have seen any number of times over the past five years that global security experts are saying that Russia is still the biggest security threat the U.S. and U.S. interests.

Most Religious American State?

I'd like New Hampshire if it wasn't so damn cold.

Obama's Greatest Ally

Posted By Dave Snope

Nice summary of Fresh Prince's international diplomacy accomplishments. Although the full list of his foolish and security-eroding actions is much, much longer.

Reminds me of both Clinton and Carter's approach to dangerous regimes. Like bad babysitter, their approach to bad behavior is to give them free stuff and flattery to keep them happy and rotten until the adults come back to deal with the problems responsibly. The liberals have done a great job training the bad regimes to misbehave for thier rewards.

Now the Obama admin just gave thousands of Syrians "temporary protected status", at the behest of pro Hamas/Hezbollah American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. More dhimmitude from Obama. It's BS that this doesn not lead to permanent status as they are claiming, and a bunch of them are here illegally. They'll never make them go back. I'm sorry things are bad in Syria, but bvrtually all of them are Hezbo and MuslimBro sympathizers.
