Inhofe Family Builds Igloo ‘Gore’s New Home’

By: Jim Meyers

The family of Sen. Jim Inhofe, a vocal skeptic regarding man-made global warming, had some fun at climate change crusader Al Gore’s expense by building an igloo near the U.S. Capitol.

The Oklahoma Republican’s daughter Molly Rapert, along with her husband and four children, built the igloo over the weekend as Washington was hammered with a fierce blizzard.

The family posted a cardboard sign on the igloo’s roof reading “AL GORE’S NEW HOME” on one side and “HONK IF YOU [HEART] GLOBAL WARMING” on the other.

Sen. Inhofe, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, told Roll Call newspaper that his family’s ironic tribute to Gore was “really humorous.”

The senator even posted several photos of the igloo on his Facebook page.

The Obama Youth

September 10, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

In the early 1920’s, Germany saw a number of youth organizations spring up, trying to reclaim the success of the pre-WWI youth groups such as the Boy Scouts and the very successful back-to-nature Wandervogel. The NSDAP, (Nazi) party was formed just after the war when Adolph Hitler renamed the German Worker’s Party he had come to lead. Seeing the success of these youth organizations, he authorized the formation of the Youth League of the National Socialist Worker’s Party. A proclamation published in the official Nazi newspaper in March of that year declared “We demand that the National Socialist Youth, and all other young Germans, irrespective of class or occupation, between fourteen and eighteen years of age, whose hearts are affected by the suffering and hardships afflicting the Fatherland… enter the Youth League of the NSDAP…” And the Hitler Youth was born.

Following the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was thrown in jail, and the Hitler Youth was officially disbanded. It was reorganized in 1925 and given the official name Hitler Jugend. By 1928, the Jungvolk, a new department for boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls were added. The organization’s leader, Kurt Gruber, reaffirmed the Hitler Youth goal of training children to “free Germany from the shackles of Capitalists.”

In 1932, Hitler Youth campaigned for Hitler in several elections. Hitler’s goal was to achieve power democratically and then eliminate democracy. Over the next few years, the age group widened for both sexes, and the organization became more indoctrinated to Nazi ideology. By 1936, membership was made mandatory for all German youth (excluding Jews.)

Fast forward to 2008. Barack Obama is running for President of the United States. He has the delegates needed to be officially named the Democrat Party candidate for that position in August. Obama declared on July 2, 2008”

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Obama’s website laid out the details of what he was stammering on about, the details of his “Civilian National Security Force.” What is this civilian national security force that is to rival the US military in power, strength, and funding? Well, it turns out, Obama was talking about his plan for universal community service for young people and massive federal spending on voluntary service for the rest of us. Stepping up to Hitler’s 1936 standard, Obama is calling for mandatory service for middle and high school students and “voluntary,” but indentured, servitude for college students. The Obama Youth!

In the Obama Youth, all children over the age of about 11 will be required to serve the orders of the all-powerful state, as Obama seeks to nationalize most charities. The Obama Youth will become voluntary once His indoctrinated minions reach college age; however, since the Liberal Messiah Himself decrees that they be paid an effective salary of $40 an hour tax free and since after the initial group passes through the organization all college-aged youth will have been fully indoctrinated, the program will be nearly universal while not called “mandatory.”

Mrs. Messiah, Michelle Obama, discussed the Obama Youth in a February speech to UCLA students, saying “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to do better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

In addition to the Obama Youth’s indentured servitude, Obama has also noted his plans to mandate that 25% of college work-study jobs be moved off-campus with the goal of forcing that to 50%. He has proposed a Classroom Corps, a Health Corps, a Clean Energy Corps, a Veterans Corps, and a Homeland Security Corps to go along with his nationalization of non-profit organizations, turning charities into government contractors.

Obama’s “just as well funded” goal will also, after considering federal government programs already violating Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution and the 9th and 10th Amendments, will add another $500,000,000,000 to our tax burden. Half-a-TRILLION dollars in NEW spending on this one program alone! Coupled with Mrs. Messiah’s repeated message to children “Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers,” one has to wonder why he thinks children should go on to college at all, and then we’ll have to consider the additional tax burden that will be required to put all of the people he succeeds in indoctrinating through the Obama Youth program to work in public make-work jobs as well!

The Obama Youth program certainly parallels the Hitler Youth goal of “free[ing the country] from the shackles of Capitalists.” It fits right in with Obama’s Marxist platform, putting everyone to work for the all-powerful government. AND…it promises a future much like the end of the Soviet Union. A nation where everyone works for the all-powerful central tyranny, and no one is left to pay the taxes needed to keep it running.

Hitler succeeded in achieving power democratically and then eliminating democracy. Given all of the above, perhaps we should rethink what we all called just another Obama gaff. When he spoke of dealing with foreign leaders for 8 or 10 years, we may want to consider that he actually can add 4 and 4, but does not think he will have to be concerned with the two term limit or anything else dealing with our current representative republic.

“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”

Remember those words. November 4th is approaching.

Gas Price Rage

August 06, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

Everyone is outraged at the price of gasoline, and rightfully so. However, has anyone bothered to put things in perspective?

Granted, $4.00/gallon is worthy of our rage, especially given the political restrictions on accessing the vast resources within our own borders, but people are being stirred into a frenzy by the press and by politicians stupid enough to tell us to just fill our tires and wait for a new scientific discovery to appear via legislation, complete with a nationwide production and distribution infrastructure and new vehicles that magically appear in our garages. Folks are actually complaining that they cannot afford to take a vacation, cannot afford to go out to eat, or even that they cannot afford to DRIVE TO WORK, for crying out loud!

Perspective:

Since Nancy Pelosi announced Democrats’ “commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices” while campaigning in 2006, gas prices have risen from $2.91 to $4.09. Quite a plan, huh? Anyway, if we use an average of 15,000 miles per vehicle and 16 miles-per-gallon, that amounts to a $1,106 annual gas price increase. (And… 16 mpg is well below the CAFÉ standard required for both cars and trucks, making that $1,106 considerably higher than it should be.)

Now consider that many of the very same people screaming bloody-murder about the high price of gasoline, calling for the nationalization of the oil industry and the theft and re-distribution of their middle-class stockholders’ income, and screaming they cannot afford to go to work, are also enthusiastically supporting the election of politicians who have expressed their dedication to raising income taxes by a weighted-average of $1,857/year (among other tax increases)!

I guess it’s not surprising they also believe those politicians when they claim that raising the oil companies’ costs will decrease the pump price???

Science Democrat Style

July 11, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

Obama is on record now discussing $12/gallon gasoline. What was his response? Well…NOTHING! No mention of drilling. No mention of refining. No mention of relenting in the Democrat attack on the oil industry. No mention of anything whatsoever, except “change.”

So, let’s look at the Democrat party’s response to this whole gasoline mess. They refuse to drill, even going as far as to say that the law of supply and demand doesn’t work. They refuse to permit refining, even when we currently have to import 15% of our refined gasoline. They tell us that increasing supply won’t help, WHILE deciding that we can sue OPEC for refusing to increase supply. And, finally, they tell us that the only way to reduce prices is either to increase cost or come up with a new scientific discovery.

Liberals look at reports telling us that we have more oil in the Rocky Mountains ALONE than the entire world has used since oil was discovered, and tell us it’s irresponsible to take it. Liberals look at Cuba’s agreement to allow Vietnam, among others, drill in the Gulf of Mexico, inside the limit Democrats refuse to let American oil companies near, and complain that it’s not environmentally safe for our companies to drill there. THEN, they have the nerve to say that we must become energy independent???

I’ve been wondering how we can become energy independent if Democrats vote, as they have recently, in lockstep to keep us from becoming energy independent. I’ve been wondering what could have destroyed enough Liberal brain cells to make them believe that increasing cost and artificially restricting supply in the face of rising demand will lower prices. Then It finally struck me how Democrats think it can be done, and it was their demand for higher CAFE standards that made it so clear!

All we have to do, in the “minds” of liberals, is to legislate a scientific discovery into being! THERE! Energy Independence, ala The Democrat Party!

That bunch of lawyers who, in large part, have never worked anywhere but the public sector for most of their lives, decided that auto makers can defy the laws of physics and build vehicles that get far more mileage than is possible. When automakers told them that as long as friction exists, they cannot meet the standards, Liberals scoffed and pointed at their shiny new law! Apparently, all it takes is for some moron in Washington to push a bill through Congress and get the President to sign it, and VOILA! A brand new scientific discovery that no one has EVER heard of before! AMAZING!

Yes, our fearless leaders have determined that science comes down to wishing something were so, believing really, really hard that it is so, and then getting their fellow elected boobs to pass a bill making it so. Hence, their response to $12 gasoline! All they need to do is write a law that says “Thou Shalt Discover an entirely new fuel source.” Why…we mere humans (a.k.a. those of us NOT inside the Washington beltway) have been so stupid all of our lives. We never realized that all we need to do is have Congress pass a bill, and we will instantly see a brand new source of fuel that no one has EVER heard of before pop into existence. Not only will that new fuel source magically appear, but a new national production and distribution infrastructure will instantaneously appear, and all of our vehicles will magically start running on this newly-legislated-into-being fuel! WOW! Amazing, isn’t it? I wish I had known all of that before I wasted so much time in science classes! What a waste of time!

That MUST be what Obama and the other wannabe tyrants believe! How else could their completely irresponsible approach to energy be explained? How else could their completely irresponsible approach to the economy be explained? How else could their completely irresponsible approach to the climate be explained?

Oh…Wait…If forgot the obvious. They DON’T want us to be energy independent. They DON’T want us to have economic freedom. They DON’T want us to breathe as much air as we please. It’s not that they actually believe their own propaganda. It’s that they know that so many of us WILL believe their nonsense, and THAT will make us the nation of obedient little slaves to the all-powerful federal government that gives them goregasms in the night.

Science and maths exams are harder than arts subjects, say EVERYONE

July 01, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

SHOCKING NEWS!!!

From the Ministry of the Blindingly Obvious, researchers at the UK’s Durham University just completed a get-rich-quick research project PROVING what everyone has always known without having the benefit of a lucrative research grant! Science and math exams are harder than arts subjects. WHOA!!!! Could’a knocked ME over with a feather!

From the UK Guardian:

Science and maths exams are harder than arts subjects, say researchers

· Study based on GCSE and A-level grades of 1m pupils
· Call for scaling system to help tutors and employers

The Guardian

It’s what scientists have always known: the sciences are harder than the arts and the humanities. Now researchers at Durham University have proved it.They analysed the GCSE and A-level results of almost a million students who sat exams in the summer of 2006, comparing marks in traditional sciences and maths with those in arts and humanities.

There were “substantial differences in the average grades achieved by the same or comparable candidates”, they found.

A-levels in physics, chemistry and biology were marked a grade lower than A-levels in drama, sociology and media studies and three-quarters of a grade harder than English, religious education and business studies, the researchers said.

Examiners were half a grade more generous when marking students of the same ability in psychology A-level, compared with biology A-level.

GCSEs in art and physical education were marked half a grade higher than GCSEs in chemistry, biology and physics.

The researchers found comparable candidates by looking for pupils who had the same grades at GCSE and had taken the same A-levels. They looked at the patterns in grades of individual students and calculated the chances of getting a particular grade in a particular subject.

Dr Robert Coe, main author of the study, said: “At A-level, science, maths and technology subjects are not just more difficult than the non-sciences, they are without exception among the hardest of all A-levels. At GCSE, the sciences are a little more difficult than the non-sciences.”

The study contradicts the findings of a report by the government’s exams watchdog in February. The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority found some exams were harder than others, but said that all were “broadly comparable” in difficulty.

But Coe said that if universities and employers were treating all subjects as equal, they were “selecting the wrong applicants”. He said: “A student with a grade C in A-level biology will generally be more able than one with a B in A-level sociology.”

The researchers recommend the government “look immediately” at introducing a scaling system used in Australia whereby a grade in one subject is worth more than the same grade in another. Coe said: “What we need is an A-level system that allows university admissions tutors to make a proper choice between candidates, without having to make a guess of which subject is harder than another.”

He said that under the current system, schools might be trying to persuade their pupils to take “easier” subjects to raise their profile in examination league tables. He said: “I know students and schools will try to make the right choices, but we should have a system where the incentives support doing the right thing, not acting against it.”

The Durham study was commissioned by the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society on behalf of the campaigning group for science educators Science Community Representing Education. They are worried by a drop in the number of pupils taking A-level sciences and maths.

According to the Royal Society, the number of pupils taking A-levels in physics fell by 35% between 1991 and 2005. Over the same period, the number of A-level maths students dropped by 22% and chemistry by 13%.

Ian McNeilly, director of the National Association for the Teaching of English, said: “It seems scientists, on the one hand, decry the quality of their intake at universities and, on the other, say that their exams are so very hard. Any view of English as a ’soft option’ is absolute nonsense. If the scientists tried to do it, they would find it wasn’t such a breeze.”

2nd Democrat publicly calls for nationalizing the oil industry!

June 18, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

COMRADES!!!!

The United States is almost gone! Long live the Communist Republic of Amerika!

While Maxine Waters stumbled and bumbled and finally admitted her socialist agenda, Maurice Hinchey today proudly announced that today’s Democrat party considers Karl Marx the primary founding father!

Link: sevenload.com

Amazingly enough, after Hinchey is done, Neil Cavuto interviews an Obama-unist who ignorantly blathers out “Maybe the government’s taking it over because it never should have been private in the first place.”

They aren’t even trying to hide their Marxism any longer. More than 30 years of socialist indoctrination centers instead of schools and total leftist control of the major media has created a populace too stupid to recognize the history of failure that defines Marxism!

God HELP America!

The Day the Constitution Died

June 13, 2008 By: CO2 Liberator Category: News No Comments →

On June 12, 2008, five unelected, unrepresentative lawyers sitting on the Supreme Oligarchical Throne of the United States declared themselves the sovereign authority in all matters relating to not only the United States, but apparently the entire planet. The ruling of the five US Supreme Court justices who have so routinely denied any significance of the US Constitution simply threw the two elected branches of the federal government out the door and declared their will superior to all others.

All hail the self-appointed US Ruling Oligarchy: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, John Paul Stevens, Stephen Breyer, and David Souter.

Justice Scalia, in his dissent, wrote “The Court today decrees that no good reason to accept the judgment of the other two branches is ‘apparent.’ What competence does the Court have to second-guess the judgment of Congress and the President on such a point? None whatever. But the Court blunders in nonetheless. Henceforth, as today’s opinion makes unnervingly clear, how to handle enemy prisoners in this war will ultimately lie with the branch that knows least about the national security concerns that the subject entails.”

In fact, the five black-robed oligarchs have laid the groundwork for an overall declaration of supremacy. If they see no reason to so much as acknowledge government of the people, by the people, and for the people in this case, how can they be expected to do so in future cases?

The arrogance of Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Stevens, Souter, and Kennedy is absolutely astounding! As Scalia repeatedly points out in section B of his dissent, the oligarchs went so far as to fabricate precedent where none existed in order to write their fantasies into law! They selected specific words from their cited precedent COMPLETELY without context, fabricating meaning that was specifically and explicitly excluded from the very precedents they themselves cited! Not only has this anti-American bunch violated the US Constitution and countermanded BOTH elected branches of our government; they have even gone so far as to declare their current personal opinions superior to THEIR OWN previous personal decisions! In other words, this bunch has declared their whimsy of the moment superior to anything and everything!

Further, the five oligarchs declared that their whimsical reach extends beyond the sovereign territory of the United States!

Scalia noted that the Eisentrager case, which the oligarchs themselves cited in their decision, “held–held beyond any doubt–that the Constitution does not ensure habeas for aliens held by the United States in areas over which our Government is not sovereign.” Yet the oligarchs ignored the clear wording of their own citations and declared their current whimsy superior!

With these five arrogant tyrants declaring themselves superior to all else, and an elected Legislative branch filled with weak-kneed and weaker-willed sheep who seem to think the term “Supreme Court” implies overall supremacy of these five individuals to ALL others, the US Constitution has now been completely replaced by five individual tyrants and their collective will-of-the-moment.

God HELP America!
