Dusty Oklahoma Day - Grandpa and Me

2011-10-15T13:23:00.001-04:00

On a bright, dry Oklahoma day a young boy was kicking at clods of dirt to see the clouds of dust transforming into brown and red wind sprites.

My grandfather, who was standing nearby, smiled and pointed at the jets high overhead, leaving their vapor trail for everyone to see. He said, " Do you see those jets? Their pilots have air masks to breath, yes?! Well, what do you think happens to their air when you send that dust up?" Visualizing the pilot coughing, I stopped.

Twenty years later,

on foreign soil, I remembered that dusty Oklahoma day as another dust sprite was launched by my stride. Recalling the wisdom of my grandfather, my boots met the ground . . . like old friends.

. . . for a dusty moment I thought I could see my grandfather smiling back at me. . . . and I smiled back.

Note: My mom’s birthday was a few days ago. Her dad is a great inspiration to me. Happy Birthday Mom.

The Truth About Leadership: The No-fads, to the Heart-of-the-Matter Facts You Need to Know

By James Kouzes , Barry Posner

Click Here to listen to an audio sample

Publisher's Summary

In these turbulent times, when the very foundations of organizations and societies are being shaken, leaders need to move beyond the pessimistic predictions, the trendy fads, and the simplistic solutions. They need to turn to what’s real and what’s proven, to understand what the evidence tells us about how exemplary leaders get extraordinary things done. This is the imperative that best-selling, award-winning authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner have undertaken in their engaging, personal, and bold new audiobook, The Truth About Leadership.

Hitler's Ethic and the Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress in Nazi Policy

2011-06-28T21:19:00.001-04:00

We really have to think twice about 'social justice'. Is it really all it's made out to be? Let's see if we can learn from history.

quoted from Hitler's Ethic and the Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress in Nazi Policy

Click here to listen.

On this episode of ID the Future, Logan Gage interviews historian Richard Weikart on his book, now out in paperback, Hitler's Ethic: The Nazi Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress, and how Darwinism influenced and inspired much of Nazi ideology.

Weikart's provocative book, out tomorrow, argues that Hitler's immorality was not the result of ignoring or rejecting ethics, but rather came from embracing a coherent -- albeit pernicious -- ethic of improving the human race through "evolutionary progress." Directly inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution, this ethic underlay or influenced almost every major feature of Nazi policy: eugenics (i.e., measures to improved human heredity, including compulsory sterilization), euthanasia, racism, population expansion, offensive warfare, and racial extermination. By embracing this particular brand of ethics, Hitler perpetrated much greater evil than he would have had he been merely opportunistic or amoral.

Carpe Diem

2011-04-30T18:36:00.001-04:00

Image via Wikipedia

Archbishop Miligo decided to venture beyond 800 years of Roman Catholic celibate tradition by marrying rather than be twisted in knots around the the second blessing. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Church is daily embroiled in more and more lawsuits as more an more sexual abuse is revealed by the victims of current and past members of religious orders. It takes courage to move against the way it has always been done.

Hm. I wonder. Can the cycles of history be restored without venturing into the caldron of current events? Are we able tor recognize where we are and take effective, corrective action. I am thinking it is being a part of the maelstrom of events which determines whether the destructive cycle is repeated or transformed. Who can say with assurance that the die has been cast, history has been repeated? I'll leave that to God. For me, we are at a threshold. The crux is . . . have enough of the Creator's children matured sufficiently to transform a historical mistake rather than be run over by it? Are we observing history cycling as victims and by-standers or are we able to "carpe diem".

Defend Marriage: Sign the Petition

2011-03-24T15:55:00.001-04:00

Image via Wikipedia

President Obama’s unilateral finding that DOMA is unconstitutional, and his directive that DOJ no longer defend DOMA in litigation, amounts to an end run on the Constitution that would short-circuit the judicial process, giving the President striking new powers to retroactively accept or reject laws passed by Congress. While I am grateful that the House will intervene to ensure that the law is defended, and that it receives a full and vigorous defense, no President has the authority to unilaterally pick and choose which laws are deserving of a legal defense.

The American people have clearly spoken when it comes to marriage, rejecting same-sex marriage in all 31 states where the question has been put to the ballot. Legislators in 14 other states have done the same thing. But at the same time, activist federal judges have issued rulings that threaten to strip millions of Americans of their civil right to vote for marriage, overthrowing the marriage laws of 45 states. A federal judge in San Francisco has already struck down Proposition 8, invalidating the will of 7 million California voters. A federal judge in Boston is attempting to strike down DOMA as well.

Like the vast majority of Americans, I believe marriage is the union of a husband and a wife. I do not want activist judges to take away our right to define marriage . . . or to redefine marriage so that schoolchildren are taught that their parents are bigots. Please stand for marriage by opposing any effort to repeal DOMA, and by supporting H.Con.Res. 25, calling on President Obama and the Department of Justice to honor their constitutional obligation to defend DOMA, ensuring that the rights of American voters are respected, and that marriage remains the union of one man and one woman.

UAW Membership Drops 7 Percent In 2008

2009-04-02T01:08:00.001-04:00

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Principle #6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

In my mind Unions try to guarantee results. It’s impossible. Because they do ( guarantee results for the workers) they eventually get in the way of creativity and progress. Therefore, this news is predictable.

Manufacturing.Net - April 01, 2009

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Membership in the United Auto Workers union declined 7 percent in 2008 to more than 431,000 workers, according to a Labor Department report.

The report filed Monday said the union lost 33,873 members during the past year, bringing it down to levels not seen since World War II. The UAW had fewer than 500,000 members in 1941 but by 1945, it had boosted its membership beyond 1 million.

UAW membership peaked in 1979 at 1.5 million members.

The union has been hard hit by plant closings and job cuts by Detroit's automakers. According to the Labor Department, the union had more than 700,000 in 2001.

Union officials, however, have said the membership levels cited by the Labor Department give a false impression of the union's size. In 2007, for example, they said the UAW represented 512,000 members. Messages were left Tuesday with UAW officials.

UAW President Ron Gettelfinger received a salary of $157,117 in 2008, a 4 percent raise over the previous year, according to the Labor Department.

Miami Tax Day Tea Party

2009-03-29T21:56:00.001-04:00

Click on the flyer to see map, details and tools for sending information to your friends.

I suggest that you start in your own homes. Talk to your family about the Values and Principles. Discuss the importance of what the Founders designed for America and how about the Constitution for starters.

Hold or attend a weekly meeting in your neighborhood or town. Communication with your neighbors is vital to the process of protecting our country. Gather in living rooms, coffee houses or restaurants. Share your thoughts and ideas. Meetup.com is an excellent internet tool to support efforts as your common base with others begins to grow.

The Family Party in an individual, father’s effort, like the 912 Project, as a non-political movement. The Family Party encourages participation in the Tea Parties and The 9-12 Project and Global Peace Festivals. The 912 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the greatest nation ever created. The Tea Parties are demonstrations of our peaceful resistance to the irresponsible and frivolous (most in congress didn’t even read the stimulus bill with 7 billion in projects for Miami-Dade alone) spending of our present government. The Global Peace Festivals promote the basis of our cooperation . . . we are one family under God.

That same feeling – that commitment to country - is what The Family Party, Tea Parties and 912Project are hoping to foster. Let’s not complain and do our part to get everyone thinking like it was on September 12th, 2001 again.

At the origin of America, our Founding Fathers built this country on 28 powerful principles. They were clearly expressed in the Constitution. These principles were culled from all over the world and from centuries of great thinkers. The Family Party believes the 912project people have done a darn good job of distilling the original 28 down to the 9 basic principles.

So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Read the nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common.

Visit the912project.com and tea party websites often. Make use of the resources that are linked here. Network the ideas and resources that have worked in your home or town.

2009-03-28T18:43:00.001-04:00

Image via Wikipedia

Why is the Family Party posting this standard of principles and values?

My Answer: The Family Party recognizes the social desire expressed as ‘we need’ begins with ‘I am’. From where ‘I am” we build identity, family and a society which can thrive and endure. Principles and values in action and expression are the core manifestation of character. Without people of character we have no foundation for family. Without families we have no foundation for a cohesive, vital, creative society.

Religious and political entities are providing their contribution to this effort to create a better society.. However, the Family Party recognizes the social desire expressed as ‘we need’ begins with ‘I am’. From where ‘I am” we build identity, family and society which can thrive and endure.

If you have difficulties with any two of the principles, that is fine. With honesty, sincerity, graciousness, responsibility (response able) and humility let’s engage in the expression of our position and understanding. Having done so, we both grow in charity, hard work, moderation and courage. Now, we’re on the way.

9 Principles

1. America Is Good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the external rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

12 Values

Honesty Reverence Hope Thrift Humility

Charity Sincerity Moderation Hard Work Courage

Personal Responsibility Gratitude

Personal Renewal Guide

2009-03-25T01:29:00.001-04:00

Yes, My Pyramid looks simple enough. However, few people are able to eat properly. The result: our bodies are not properly nourished. If this is prolonged through habits, both cultural and personal . . . our health and vital energy can decline and our immune system begins to evaporate. How to find a solution? Good intentions are not enough. Reading books are inspirational but . . . without experiencing the benefits we lose heart and we are soon back to our old, not so good, nourishment style.

There are companies who have solutions. Taking their products with consistency to feel and see the results. Of course, if you can’t feel and see the result of your health regime, then you are not going to keep it up.

I have been on my health program since Aug 2007 because I can feel and see the difference. By comparison, I was just getting by, before. But Before . . . I thought it was normal. That is what I thought. And . . .ignorance is bliss until you become humble enough to admit you don’t have all the answers.

Now, wanting to ‘pay it forward’ , I am providing this ‘Personal Renewal Guide’ with Yellow, Orange, Blue and Green quadrants. Fill in your numerical responses to the statements in each quadrant. Add up the score in each quadrant. The color with the highest score is the metabolic area of focus for your health regime. This enables your health coach to guide you towards nutraceuticals which can best support your body’s apparent needs for healing itself.

Night Talk: An Interview With Greg Mortenson (part 2)

It is important to hear about education of women and fatwas in this part.

A fatwā (Arabic: فتوى‎; plural fatāwā Arabic: فتاوى‎), in the Islamic faith is a religious opinion on Islamic law issued by an Islamic scholar. In Sunni Islam any fatwa is non-binding, whereas in Shia Islam it could be, depending on the status of the scholar.

Social Networks Are Not Personal

2009-02-20T15:19:00.000-05:00

Image by luc legay via Flickr

New to Social Networks? There are some things you need to consider as you get started. They are great tools. However, you need to know how to use and why you use Social Networks like Facebook and twitter.

Ben targets his considerable talents creating an excellent blog : Instigator Blog : Entrepreneurship, business, social media & marketing

Social Networks Are Not Personal by Ben Yoskovitz

They’re professional.

There are plenty of social networks designed for personal use, but they all have professional implications and opportunities. And to ignore those issues is a mistake.

Your “Stuff” Is Exposed

Most social networks have some level of privacy to keep prying eyes away from your profile and content, but don’t assume it’s full proof. It’s safer to assume that anything you put on the Internet is public and always will be.

You can’t completely control who sees what you put online. Employers and potential employers can do a quick Google search and find out all kinds of things. The same holds true for a host of other people: law enforcement, creditors, business partners, etc.

But There’s Gold In Them Thar Social Networks

On the positive side, business opportunities abound on social networks, even if they weren’t designed for business. It’s simple. You put people together bound by common interests and get them hooked on participating with one another, and presto, business opportunities emerge.

Since starting on Facebook a month ago I’ve connected with numerous people from a business perspective, which may lead to future opportunities for Standout Jobs. I could have connected with those people via email, but social networks like Facebook (or tools like Twitter) captivate people’s attention; so it’s easier to reach them. When it comes to email, people are overwhelmed and generally hate it. So they’re slower to respond. But send someone a “friend request” on Facebook and they’ll answer almost immediately.

Regardless of whether you’re connecting with people online over your shared love of dogs, photos or cartoon dolls, you’ll build real relationships that can lead beyond the original purpose of the social network.

Down the Rabbit Hole To Atlantis

2009-02-18T19:56:00.000-05:00

Image by gruntzooki via Flickr

Having just read Atlas Shrugged, and witnessing the events of 2009 in the 'Socialist Age of Obama', I am compelled to challenge anyone I know, meet or brush against on the internet . . .to go down this 'rabbit hole' and rock your world.

Since its publication in 1957 Atlas Shrugged, the philosophical and artistic climax of Ayn Rand's novels, has never been out of print and has received enormous critical attention becoming one of the most influential books ever published, impacting on a variety of disciplines including philosophy, literature, economics, business, and political science among others.
More than a great novel, Atlas Shrugged is an abstract conceptual, and symbolic work that expounds a radical philosophy, presenting a view of man and man's relationship to existence and manifesting the essentials of an entire philosophical system – metaphysics, epistemology, politics and ethics.
Celebrating the fiftieth year of Atlas Shrugged's publication, this companion is an exploration of this monumental work of literature. Contributions have been specially commissioned from a diversity of eminent scholars who admire and have been influenced by the book, the included essays analyzing the novel's integrating elements of theme, plot and characterization from many perspectives and from various levels of meaning.

Print friendly information sheet

Edited by Edward W. Younkins, Wheeling Jesuit University, USA

About the Editor: Edward Younkins is one of the leading scholars on the works of Ayn Rand in the world. He is the author of 'Capitalism and Commerce' and 'Philosophers of Capitalism: Menger, Mises, Rand and Beyond'.

Reviews: 'Ayn Rand’s complex philosophical novel, Atlas Shrugged, is hugely popular, yet intimidating or confusing to some people. By assembling this impressive collection, Edward Younkins has done something wonderful for both those who enjoyed the novel and those yet to discover it. Younkins and his collaborators examine many different facets of the novel, from the perspectives of a variety of different disciplines: literature, philosophy, economics, politics, history. This is sure to be a thought-provoking and conversation-stimulating anthology.'
Aeon J. Skoble, Bridgewater State University
'Edward Younkins appreciates the significance of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged to so many disciplines and thus he has assembled an impressive collection of essays by distinguished experts in many fields to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Rand’s monumental work. Younkins understands the unique nature of “Atlas “; it is a great work of romantic literature, its plot shows in the concrete the importance of economic liberty and a morality of rational self-interest, it outlines an integrated philosophy – Objectivism – by which to guide one’s life, and it offers a vision of the kind of life and world that this philosophy can produce. This collection is a welcomed volume for the millions who love Rand’s magnum opus.'
Edward Hudgins,The Atlas Society & the Objectivist Center
'Atlas Shrugged is a thrilling and, in my view, nearly indispensable part of courses on economics and government. Dr. Younkins’s insightful collection of essays by experts in many fields will prove immensely valuable to teachers and students who use Atlas and to any reader who seeks deeper understanding of Ayn Rand’s marvellous novel.'
John B. Egger, Towson State University
'A collection of this type is long overdue. Edward Younkins has exhibited an impressive vision in assembling this extraordinary book just in time for the 50th anniversary of Ayn Rand’s masterpiece.'
Lew Rockwell, Ludwig von Mises Institute
'Atlas Shrugged has been called the most important novel of ideas since War and Peace. Now, more than 20 years after Ayn Rand’s death, she and her great book are beginning to get the scholarly attention they deserve. This Companion is a fine example of that.'
David Boaz, Cato Institute

My friend Brett on facebook turned me on to this Stimulus Watch site. The internet is amazing if you use it. Read on an be sure to watch the video. Amazing, professional, well done, five star locally useful way to see how the stimulus funds are being used.

How do you use Stimulus Watch?

Watch the video tour!

StimulusWatch.org was built to help the new administration keep its pledge to invest stimulus money smartly, and to hold public officials to account for the taxpayer money they spend. We do this by allowing you, citizens around the country with local knowledge about the proposed "shovel-ready" projects in your city, to find, discuss and rate those projects. These projects are not part of the stimulus bill. They are candidates for funding by federal grant programs once the bill passes. Learn more by reading the FAQs.

How can you contribute? Find a project that interests you, or about which you have special knowledge, and let us know what you think. You can find projects by searching or by browsing by locality or program type. Once you find a program, there are three things you can do: 1) vote on whether you believe the project is critical or not; 2) edit the project's description and points in favor or against, and 3) post a comment in the conversation about the project.

I wish I had not been swayed by the mass media about Huckabee. What I have seen of him on his show on FOX and here in this presidential debate clip inspires me to believe: There are men of principle who are able lead, stand up, and still have a respectful manner. I hope you can interview him someday.

MSNBC In God We Trust NOT

2009-02-09T20:22:00.001-05:00

Image via Wikipedia

It appears that Dec. 7th was the time for the poll and they may have revived it again. Go there and vote. Approximately 9.3 million voted to keep "In God We Trust" from among 11+ Million who voted. Way to go team. Now, Click Here and Vote.

At our left is the first coin minted with, "In God We Trust". An 1864 two cent piece.

Recently I read Stephen Prothero's Book, Religious Literacy. Reading, I was amazed to discover that the separation of church and state reached a defining moment when the Catholics and Protestants were quarreling over the right to put books, they approved of, in parochial school during the late 1800's. In response to a Catholic complaint about the matter, the American judicial system chiseled out a 'separation of church and state' stance that is now being used by some, to attempt to drive 'God' out of the American Milieu or 'Blood'. This is wrong . . .

Because of the Mayflower Compact,

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.

. . . the Declaration of independence

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

and much much more . . .

America is great because of its choice to recognize the creator as the source of live and the freedom to pursue happiness; not government, a political party or person.

This is the blood of America, created by the blood, sweat and tears of our founders and of man's journey of discovery through history. Anyone, of any faith, of any race who embraces the spirit and heart of these words is an American.

Mother of All Snakes Not Pelosi

2009-02-07T18:32:00.000-05:00

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

Al Gore is heavily invested to insure everyone is aware of man burning up the planet; Global Warming. Now a big 43 ft. snake is making Global Warming harder to swallow. Glen Beck has done a masterful job of taking this new finding of a 43 ft. cold blooded ‘Mother of All Snakes” which needed a 6 to 8 degree hotter climate than we have now have . . . just to survive. Here, let Glenn tell you like it is.

. . . Scientists today have made another discovery. It was the mother of all snakes. A nightmarish behemoth as long as a school bus, as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle that ruled the ancient Amazonian rainforest for two million years before slithering into nonexistence. Now this monster which weighed in at 2500 pounds has resurfaced in fossils taken from an open pit coal mine in Colombia. A startling example of growth gone wild. We should have -- why are we disrupting this snake seminary to dig for coal? The snake is estimated at 43 feet long. That is the size of the largest T-Rex that scientists currently know of. "This is amazing. It challenges everything we know about how big a snake can be," says herpetologist -- hang on, side note here, your Honor. Did you ever introduce yourself as a herpetologist? Spelled herpetologist? "So what do you do for a living?" "I'm a herpetologist." Okay, thanks. I've got to go wash my hands. So he's a herpetologist and also a Holocaust denier obviously. Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History who is apparently denying that science on snakes has been settled a long time ago. Scientists identified hundreds of specimens that have been dug from the mine including the largest freshwater turtle ever known and beautifully preserved skeletons of an extinct species of crocodile known to have been in South America but never seen there before. Wow, finally science is back in her rightful place, huh? The fact that they had no idea these crocodiles were ever there is just proof that they really did know that they had always been there. You know, you read your Bible, you don't understand. The find not only sheds new light on snake evolution but it also provides telling insights on climate. Wait a minute. Insights on climate? Hello, Mr. Flat earther, there are no insights left on climate. The debate is over; the science is settled. The snake flourished about 58 million to 60 million years ago, because it was cold-blooded. The tropical climate was 6 to 8 degrees warmer than it is today. Hold it just a second. The climate was 6 to 8 degrees warmer? What? I thought nine out of the ten warmest years have all been within the last six months. Isn't that what Al Gore said, something like that? Or maybe it's 99% of the warmest 100 minutes have all been within the last 120 seconds. I have the ice core some place. I don't know exactly, but I do know my 12-year-old understands this so much better than I do. I still can't get past this. The tropical climate had to be 6 to 8 degrees warmer than it is today for a snake that large to survive. What Holocaust denier came up with that kind of information? Hello, Dick Cheney. That wasn't Dick Cheney. It was actually evolutionary biologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto. "This sheds some light on the current theories about what happens at the equator during periodic bouts of natural global warming." Wait a minute. University of -- evolutionary biologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto: What happens at the equator during periodic bouts of natural global warming? Natural global warming? Impossible! Oh, and I'm sure the Jews weren't burned by the Nazis! "One school of thought" -- quoting -- "one school of thought holds that temperatures at the equator are buffered, staying relatively constant while more northern and southern latitudes heat up." Schools of thought? The debate is over, scientists. Stop thinking! But really, seriously what do the Holocaust deniers (non global warmer types) believe happened to the snake? I mean, remember it had to be 6 to 8 degrees warmer than it was now just to survive. Researchers now believe -- quoting from the article -- that the climate got even hotter, hastening. Wait a minute. So temperatures have never been warmer than they are today except when they're 6 to 8 degrees warmer and when they're warmer than that. But this one degree of warming that we're dealing with now definitely going to set the Earth on fire. By the way, the 1 degree of warming that we really don't have now because it's been going down in temperature for the last few years. Oh, my gosh, see, this is why we win awards in science on this program. Because you flat earthers probably don't -- you know, you don't think in the scientific way. I just realized these scientists had to be paid by big oil, big tobacco and big snake, you know? Come up with a fake study that they won't even have peer review. By the way, you can read this paper in that hard core right-wing blog known as Nature.

Rush's Bipartisan Stimulus Plan

2009-02-02T19:50:00.001-05:00

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

You've heard that Rush said, " . . . I hope he fails . . ." about President Obama. Get to the bottom of this with some bipartisan digging into the details. . . . Here's a good place to start . . . From an interview on CNBC on 1/29/09.

BURNETT: Bottom line, Rush. You're saying as an individual, you hope Barack Obama succeeds, right? He's your president, too?
RUSH: Yeah. I want him to succeed in bringing the country around, but the policies he's announced are not going to do it. I want the policies to fail; I want America to succeed. I love the country.

and

RUSH: I think this stimulus plan IS about re-FDRing America, the New New Deal, and as a conservative I want liberalism to fail. I want the country to succeed, and that's what I meant, and that's what I said over and over again. You've gotta stop reading these left-wing liberal sites that take me out of context.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

ERIN BURNETT: The fear is that Washington's new spirit of cooperation is already gone. Now, sit down. Prepare yourself. You see this, "My Bipartisan Stimulus"? This was written by Rush Limbaugh making a bid to keep bipartisanship alive. That's the op-ed he wrote this morning. He joins us on the news line. Rush, a lot of people are skeptical with a headline from you: "My Bipartisan Stimulus."
RUSH: Why skeptical? I'm just trying to build bridges and roads to the administration for genuine bipartisanship and cooperation and fairness. The president says that he still wants to work with Republicans.
MARK HAINES: (snorting)
RUSH: Here I am. We can work together and do what's best for the American people.
BURNETT: And you call --
HAINES: (interrupting) I -- I -- I'm sorry, but, ah, wait a minute! A week after the inauguration you said you hope he fails. Are -- are you now admitting that that was a stupid and mean-spirited thing to say?
RUSH: No, it was an accurate thing to say. It was an honest thing to say, and it came --
HAINES: Then how is that bipartisan!
RUSH: Well, if you'll let me explain...
HAINES: (snorts) Well, so far you haven't.
RUSH: (laughing) You're being contentious with no reason. It came after a thorough explanation of my belief that liberalism, which is what Obama represents --
HAINES: Aw jeeeeez!
RUSH: -- destroys the free market, destroys capitalism. I think this stimulus plan with about re-FDRing America, the New New Deal, and as a conservative I want liberalism to fail. I want the country to succeed, and that's what I meant, and that's what I said over and over again. You've gotta stop reading these left-wing liberal sites that take me out of context.
HAINES: I -- I -- I just listen to you, Rush. I don't read anybody! I listen to you, and what I hear is hypocrisy.
RUSH: You hear hypocrisy?
HAINES: Yeah! I hear hypocrisy. You're saying in this -- in this piece, you say, uh, you know, "our economy doesn't know the difference...this is about jobs now...leave politics aside," and yet the first thing out of your mouth is politics! About liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat!
RUSH: Exactly. But I am trying to show this. You know, this vote that happened in the House yesterday is actually a failure. The bipartisan vote was the defeat: 11 Democrats joining Republicans. The partisan vote was all Democrats. This is going to have trouble. You know, he wants Republicans on the bill, Mark, because he knows this isn't gonna work. He wants Republicans so that he has cover so that they can't run for reelection saying they opposed this debacle. I'm trying to propose something here that will work with the best interests of the country at heart.
HAINES: (clearing throat)
RUSH: How can that possibly be hypocritical?
BURNETT: All right. Rush, let me just get in. I want to give people a chance to understand your plan. You're calling it the Obama-Limbaugh plan, and you took the vote that the country voted for Obama, who voted for him and who didn't, and that's how you broke it down, right?
RUSH: Yeah.
BURNETT: So his share of it goes to spending, and the other share goes to tax cuts, right?
RUSH: Exactly, and he gets to choose how he wants to spend it with the Democrats on Capitol Hill, and the Republicans and me get to determine the tax cuts.
BURNETT: And you're going to cut the corporate tax rate in half, right?

RUSH: Precisely, and we'll suspend the capital gains tax to incentivize new investment for a full year and then reestablish and re-implement it at 10% -- and probably some tax cuts in the area of real estate, too. That's an area that needs to come back. See, I don't... Obama said yesterday -- I don't know if you guys were still on the air or not, but he had a meeting at the White House with the CEOs, and he came out and he sounded like Ronald Reagan. He was talking about how it's the people who make the country work; it's the people out there who are going to revive the economy. And twenty days ago, he said government is the only entity -- there's your hypocrisy, Mark -- that can revive this economy. Yesterday what he said is exactly right, and I totally support that when he sounds like Ronald Reagan.
BURNETT: So, Rush, it sounds like what you're saying, 'cause -- and Mark's picking up on something, as you know, that got a lot of coverage -- that you said, "I would be honored if I was headlined all day long 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.'" What you meant to say there was, "I hope liberalism fails, and if he is going to emblematic of that, I hope he fails."
RUSH: Yeah. Yeah.
BURNETT: But as Obama, you're not trying to hope he fails, right?
RUSH: No, I support the president. I just don't support his policies.
HAINES: (snickering)
RUSH: Erin, I said --
BURNETT: Yes, Rush?
RUSH: I said that on purpose, because everybody was falling in line behind this plan like a bunch of lemmings, and the media wasn't even examining the specifics. Somebody had to get somebody's attention on this, 'cause it's a debacle.
HAINES: Here's -- here's -- here's something I find interesting, Rush. Ah, you -- you talk about the vote being roughly -- you know, you -- you do a little fiddling to -- to even up -- the vote was roughly 54-46 in favor of, uh, Obama, so therefore divide the stimulus plan 54-46. I -- I find that a -- a refreshing breath of air from you because when the vote was 51-49 in favor of Republicans, I don't remember you being this concerned about bipartisanship.
RUSH: I think bipartisanship's a joke, as it's defined. Bipartisanship --
BURNETT: (laughing)
HAINES: (shouting) I don't remember you proposing that any program be split reflecting that vote!
RUSH: We've got limited seconds here, and I want to get to this answer. Bipartisanship, as it's defined in Washington, is Republicans caving to what Democrats want. That's what bipartisanship is; that's what they wanted yesterday. My column in the Journal today is truly bipartisan; and I'm willing, if that's the definition of it, full speed ahead for bipartisanship.
BURNETT: Bottom line, Rush. You're saying as an individual, you hope Barack Obama succeeds, right? He's your president, too?
RUSH: Yeah. I want him to succeed in bringing the country around, but the policies he's announced are not going to do it. I want the policies to fail; I want America to succeed. I love the country.
BURNETT: Thank you very much, Rush Limbaugh.
RUSH: It's an honor.
BURNETT: A lot of people saying your bipartisanship here, this plan makes some sense. Mark, there's some things in this plan that make a lot of sense, that corporate tax cut.
HAINES: Oh, yeah.
BURNETT: Yeah.

Socialism Primer : Income Taxation

2009-01-29T19:11:00.000-05:00

Image via Wikipedia

After listening to Senator Nancy Pelosi and Congressman Harry Reid and after the November election AND after the House Stimulus Hose vote I began making sure I know what socialism is . . . so . . . join me on my journey.

There was so much talk about the greedy rich and that they need to be taxed more so . . . I decided to start with income taxation.

Income taxation is a fine on income. Increasing that fine is likely to cause aversive conditioning and result in changed behavior. Sample result: Bono and U2 moved their financial affairs to the Netherlands in 2006 after the Irish government changed the tax code in a way that would have cost Bono and his bandmates huge amounts of money. That is, the band responded to an increase in the fine on their income by removing their income from the taxing authority's jurisdiction. If someone like Bono, who is famous for complaining that governments should spend more tax money helping the poor, prefers to spend his money as he chooses rather than have it taken by politicians under threat of force, then how likely is it that other high earners are unaffected by attempts to confiscate more of their income?

Government-provided welfare payments, be it to the poor or the rich, are rewards for non-productivity and constraints for production and resources. Use tax dollars to subsidize a corporation's foreign advertising or anything else it does, and the pressure for efficient operation is reduced. Pay unemployed single mothers to stay home, and you not only encourage them to not find jobs but – if the mothers must remain single to qualify for the "free" money – you also ensure that millions of children will grow up with unmarried parents and, in many cases, without their fathers, as has happened in the United States.
