  • As people deliberately seeking to deceive the public, Media Matters will simply continue to lie.

  • Absolutely right.

    They are thinking such hateful thoughts and it comes out in their “jokes.”

    For example, one goofball made a comment this last week about my books. The venom and hatred could be felt from the words used. And like most good Left-wingers, it didn’t have a thing in common with what I’d written. It says something about our culture that we have such people and their hearts are just filled with seething hate.

  • I haven’t quite figured out why the Left can make comments borne in hatred like this tweet, but they turn around and accuse conservatives of “hate”.

    It’s a consistent pattern with the Left.

    Christ didn’t pull any punches when it came to people motivated by hate:

    Matthew 12:33-35:

    33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35 The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.”

    Luke 6:44-46:
    “44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush. 45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart. 46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”

  • Absolutely reprehensible that two such non-scientists would use this to try to push their sorry agenda.

    (Unlike them, I have four degrees in three fields, as well as having literally written the book on it— Global Warming, Challenged)

  • It’s not a “scandal”. Official misconduct and similar felonies and misdemeanors were committed. The IRS needs to be fired en masse and rebuilt with people of character.

  • Sometimes you get the feeling that God takes a hand.

    About 25 years ago I was working in a 7 eleven. My shift ended and I started bicycling home a little after 3. It should be noted that as part of the 1% or less of bicyclists that actually obeys the rules of the road and remembers that there are others on the road, I only had trouble with cars twice in a 19 year span. I was riding on the shoulder down the street and a car suddenly turns in front of me so close I could have reached out and touched the door. The couple driving it entered what had once been a forest service parking lot that was fringed by boulders. They cut it so close to a boulder that it brushed their front right tire and BOOOOOOOM! A cloud of white powder shot up from the ruptured tire.

    Normally, I’d have stopped to help, but after being nearly killed I just grinned and kept riding.

  • I was a NOAA scientist for some years, with 4 degrees in geology, biology, an engineering. I see nothing wrong in what Palin says about the myth of global warming.

    It’s a battle of truth vs. lies.

    For example, just this last week, the wild claim of 400ppm was made for CO2. Trouble is, that is measuring the outgassing of Mauna kea/Kilauea Iki not far from their sensors in Mauna Loa. The sensors, which have been in place since the late 1950s, have consistently given a reading much higher than elsewhere on the planet. With the current eruption cycle, parts of the national park have been closed from severe outgassing. We’re talking amounts that create volcanic fog from SO2 alone on Oahu 200 miles away.

    But the science of it is ignored in order to try to convince “the masses” that there is a problem. If anything, the last 7 years of record cold in Europe, North America, and South America should make for some worry if it continues. The Thames has frozen over several times in the last few years, when it had been the 1800s before that. The Baltic has frozen over, necessitating a Soviet-era icebreaker to free trapped ships. Peterborg (Leningrad) has frozen and it’s usually an ice free port.

    5 years of record ice at the poles. But what do we hear? It’s melting.

    In a century, scientists will be ridiculing the group of political toadies we have today.

  • Well said.

    I’d add that Nietzschian was also key in Hitler’s ideology with ideas like the “ubermensch”.

    The National Socialists typically enacted 6.67 Planks of the Communist Manifesto, the Soviets 8.67, the EU and Canada 9.0. What’s really scary is that the Democrat platform of 2012 had 9.0.

    Bad ideas never go away…

  • It comes down to a lack of training. I think the policeman meant well, but when he started firing, he didn’t stop with the appropriate number of shots to the hostage-taker’s head (one or two typically). Unfortunately, such a lack of fire discipline has cropped up in a large number of incidents in the last ten years. Part of it is most departments being required to use weapons with no stopping power like the 9mm (the military had to go back to the .45 because one shot would do the work of an entire 9mm clip), but most of it appears to be a lack of proper training on when to shoot, where to shoot, and how many times. And part of it is unfortunately the promotion of persons based on factors other than competence and time in service. The worst event I know of recently is where a group of NYC cops let go in a crowd, something that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago. Police departments worked for years to avoid such things and it looks like they must do it again. We’re seeing things that haven’t happened since the 1920s in terms of poor training leading to some really bad events.

  • Police are usually trained to shoot the hostage-taker, Hollywood to the contrary. But they are not trained to spray bullets to do it. A single shot to the head of the hostage-taker would have sufficed and if someone can’t hit from that range, they shouldn’t be carrying a pistol.

    We’ve had how many recent incidents where police ignore fire discipline? 8 people get shot because the police in NY decide to let it go in a crowd. The LAPD misidentify a truck and shoot it with 100+ bullets (thankfully the two inside survived). There are a few others that I can’t bring to mind, but the idea of blasting either at random, or shooting into a crowd, or otherwise not being sure of one’s target, or of just emptying the clip in a surge of adrenaline, are things that police departments for years tried to get rid of. Looks like some of them are going to have to really crack down on fire discipline, when to shoot, and how many times.

    And yet it’s expected that the ordinary citizen always be sure of his/her target, and in some states, to use only one or two shots. The “defended himself too well” nonsense that has sometimes cropped up.
