Global Warming Religion

You know something has reached the status of a religion when a person will refuse to believe anything else no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented.

I had a conversation with a person the other day about global warming. I brought up the fact that the same scientists who were so sure that CO2 is the cause of global cooling and who were declaring an ice age 40 years ago are now the ones saying it causes warming. Well it either causes or warming or cooling, but not both. This of course was not well received. All that matters is that we stop creating CO2. Forget about the trees that need it. Forget about the fact that it only makes up 3/1000's of a percent of the atmosphere that that we only contribute 1/1000th of that 3/1000's. this means that we are affecting the atmosphere of the earth with CO2 by only 3 parts out of a million planet wide. Yet we are causing a drastic turn in weather.

I would postulate that if you could prove that we were heading for an ice age unless we burned all the fossil fuel we could find and create all the CO2 we could by whatever means necessary to avert it that people would still stand in the way of doing so. This is because it is not science it is now a religion. People simply can't go against their religion or at least they won't.

It has already been proven that the scientists who have been trying to shove this religion down our throats were making up the numbers and cooking the books so to speak. Yet people will not leave this behind. If we have the coldest temperatures world wide in almost a 100 years, what do people say? It's because of global warming. It doesn't matter what kind of logic it defies this is the answer for all of man's doings on the earth. Things are cooler because of warming. With this logic the best thing you could do on a hot summer day is turn the heat up in your house to over 100 degrees then so you can cool it off. Or if it happens to be winter turn the heat down as low as it will go and leave all the doors and windows open so you can get your house nice and toasty.

For some reason people will immediate recognize how absurd this is but will still continue to stick to their tired reasoning that this is exactly what is happening on earth.

Let's use a little common sense people. Don't let yourself be intimidated into silence, or worse yet agreement with the politically correct global warms just because it sounds compassionate. Expose the absurdity of their arguments! They don't base what they are saying on either real science or common sense. The scientists have already admitted they were lying so they could continue to get more funding. As always it's all about the money.

Most people today are too young to remember the days of gas frenzy and the long waiting lines in the 1970's. We were told, again by scientists that there was only enough oil left in the whole world to last 30 years at the most and thus began the gas panic. Well here we are 40 years later and there is no word whatever that we are squeezing out the last drops of oil in the world so that we can drive a few more miles.

It is amazing how quickly the media and the scientists want to drop such things as these because if they bring them up it means we may not trust the high priests of the religion of science.

Yes to a large degree I believe science has become very much like a religion. Does this mean that science has nothing to offer? By no means, but at the same time we should not think of scientists as being altruistic people motivated only by logic and research. The church has had a bad reputation for a very long time for not believing the world was round and going after scientists who said it was, well the same mindset now exists only in the opposite direction. It is now scientists who are lying to us and they go after anyone with a vengeance who dares question their edicts.

Scientists are no more above being questioned in the pronouncements than are pastors or priests. If they are found to be wrong we should not continue to believe these prophets. We should not continue to seek them out for further oracles. If they are found to be corrupt and not stating the facts as they are, but making them up then we should pay them no mind.

Many are still so bitter at the church and religion that they are more than willing to stand solidly behind science no matter how absurd their declaration. Show the same skepticism toward scientists that you are willing to show toward the church. Question honestly your scientists as much as you question the church.

Rights Do Not Obligate

It is clear too many people do not understand what rights are. It may be debated whether the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the only "rights" granted by the created, but I believe our founding fathers who have shown themselves to be far wiser than any of our current batch of representatives could ever hope to be had a good handle on it.

They understood that first and foremost rights are something granted by God. Second, rights are not something that require action on other people's parts. All that rights require from others is inaction. It is not up to others to make sure we are happy. It is not up to others to make sure we have life. It is also not up to others to make sure that we are at liberty. All any of these rights require is that others do not take action to take away our liberty. If they take no action against us we will be at liberty. If they take no action they will in no way interfere with our happiness. If others take no action attacking us or trying to take our lives then we will have life so long as we are healthy.

It is not up to others to make sure we are healthy. It is not up to others to make sure we are free. It is incumbent on them to make sure they do not take our free. In this they are restricted. Again it should be note that our rights if anything put restrictions on others to prevent them from interfering. They do not put restrictions or obligations on others to take action.

Our rights never put obligations on others to act. The only obligation inflicted on others for us to maintain our rights is the obligation of inaction.

Today we have a government that feels that they give us rights not our create. In many cases the do not even recognize the creator. They are as determined as possible to make sure that the creator is never mentioned. Here they are again taking action and thus interfering with our right to freedom of religion.

The constitution in no way binds the hands of the federal government or employees thereof from mentioning God, Jesus Christ, or even the more generic creator. This in no way indicates the government forcing religion on us. What the constitution says is that CONGRESS shall pass no laws. Yet this is exactly what they constantly do, pass laws preventing the free exercise of religion in any venue where there might even be a federal employee present. This is not what the constitution ever meant! It also never meant for the government to be forced to provide churches for the people or to pass laws forcing such a thing. The constitution simply prohibits them from passing laws regarding religion. This is a very important distinction and one that is all too often disregarded.

It is very similar with guns. We are too busy looking at people's motives where guns are concerned; what they might do with this freedom or what they might do with the guns as though what they did with the right is enough of a reason to interfere with it.

The left especially seems to feel their right is to inflict upon us to be responsible for everyone else's decisions instead of just letting people be responsible for themselves. It is not my responsibility or anyone else's responsibility to make sure I make what they consider good choices. The only exception to this would be children, in which case it is the responsibility of the parents to train up their children to be responsible for the decisions they make as well as to own the consequences of those decisions. The consequences of our decisions should be the responsibility of others to bear.

The government would have us believe this and because of this they understand "rights" to mean that we are obligated to take care of those who make bad decisions and are now suffering the consequences of those decisions. Compassion demands this, but the government cannot and should not put such a demand on us.

We must begin to bear the responsibility of our own choices and actions. We must, as they say, man up! We must put government back in the box it was meant to be in even if it means that something maybe be a bit harder on us. I for one would rather have things a little harder and have my freedom than having someone tell me what I can eat, whether I can smoke or grow a certain tree in my yard or add another house on my own property because some snail lives there.

We the people must stop the madness. We must remember that in the United States the government only governs by the consent of the people and we CAN withdraw our consent and get rid of these people.

Can anyone honestly say that Barbara boxer, Lynn Woolsey, Dianne Feinstein or any of the many other representatives we have in California have actually done even a sufficient enough job that should have voted them back in office. We need to find new people who actually will protect our freedoms not erode them in the name of some false compassion. They find it very easy to be compassionate with OUR money!

Enough I say!

Congress Going Crazy Again

Once again we have a congress using another "emergency" as an excuse to expand a bill to almost 2000 pages because, gee, something has to be done about the taxes!

The worst thing is that it looks as though the republicans may be willing to go along with it. Can you say, back to your old tricks again? These people really don't get it.

The bill should be about the issue that the bill is about and nothing else. If it needs other things to get it passed then that means that it's not really something that should be voted on? If you have to buy the votes quite literally then we should be considering whether its something we ought to be voting for at all.

I wonder how many bills would ever pass if they had to stick to nothing but the subject of the bill they were discussing in the bill itself. I also can't help but wonder how much shorter and more readable they would become.

I can help but think there would be little point to passing the bills if they didn't get something out of it for themselves. This alone shows the level of their corruption.

For some reason the democrats find it very easy to stick to their socialist communist platform and continue to go after what they want no matter what the American people want; I wonder why the republicans can't stick to theirs in spite of overwhelming support for what we want and what they say they stand for? The only possible explanation is that covertly they want the same things the democrats want. They have certainly not made a very big showing of doing what the people want no matter how many opportunities we continue to give them.

I suppose like the democrats they are finally seeing the goal of a socialist America in front of them where our votes and wants no longer matter and so they, like the democrats are pressing toward the finish line now knowing there's not much we can do to stop them now.

There are a few of the new republicans speaking out about this issue and a few of the more conservative republicans speaking out, but for the most part they are more like the fringe than what the party really stands for.

We've already had our elections and for the most part republicans and democrats alike are ignoring what the people have made clear they want. I'm not sure what is left that we can do.

The democrats certainly aren't afraid of going for everything they can right because they know after this they're not going to get another chance for a long time to come. I'm a bit surprised they didn't push through even more of their communist/socialist agenda items while they still had the chance, but then I suppose they have to think they've done more than enough damage to the nation to make it collapse which seems to be their primary goal.

One way or another we need to let our non-representing representatives know what they continue to due with the 2000 page bills they haven't even read themselves needs to stop. It is almost like it's become a joke to them to pass things without reading them. After it came out they were doing that with the health care bill and several others and they still got them passed I suppose they figured they could do it with every bill and just deal with the fall out after they're passed.

Though Americans were not happy about what they did for the most part we have found ourselves powerless to stop those things from happening or from become law. Now we are stuck with them and the power of the veto makes it so we will continue to be stuck with them till it is too late and they are fully implemented.

We need to shut down Washington with so many phone calls to every number we can find that they can't get any business done till they begin to pay attention to us the people of America. They get their power from the consent of the people and all we have to do is withdraw that consent and by definition they don't have any power and maybe that's what we should be considering at this point.

Presidential/Congressional Communism

There is still no news of the taxes and what is going to happen with them. Surely the president, the administration, and the congress must know how potentially devastating this is to the economy. I can't help but wonder if they're not posturing for how they can then blame big business for not spending and completely ignore the fact that people in business are not going to spend large amounts of money without knowing the bottom line. It seems to be nothing less than posturing.

Our leaders are playing political games with our livelihoods. They seem not to really care about the average American at all and are most certainly both completely out of touch as well as having a communist/socialist agenda they are promoting. As with most socialists and communists they are not really concerned with the good of the people they are really concerned with the reins of power and with passing their communist/socialist agendas.

I believe there are now some in congress who are actually concerned about the American people, but I also believe their numbers are pitifully small and will probably, in the next congress, not have as much influence as we wish they would.

Hope is still alive in our nation, but I do not believe this is hope in God. For the nation to hope in the leaders to do what is best for the people I do not believe is terribly realistic. People are not facing the reality of how many progressive/communist/socialist non-representing representatives we have in place in the government now.

Every one is so afraid of being called a MacCartheyist or of not being open minded or any number of other politically correct terms that are constantly used to silence the voice of reason in this nation that no one will call these people what they are and so the nation continues to prefer to believe they are not really communists and socialists.

Everyone keeps pretending these leaders just really don't get what we want or don't know what we want. They most certainly know, they simply don't care.

The propaganda that is now starting to come out of the media is almost unbelievable. I heard a man on Fox News today simply make up some facts and polls and declare that the American people don't care if their taxes go up or even want them to go up. He almost got away without even being called on it. Once he was called on it he still tried to lie his way through it. When that failed and he was called on it again he started choking and gagging. It was as though he never expected anyone to actually call him on his lies.

Had no one called this man on his lies I have little doubt that many would have accepted what he said as the truth and started thinking that they must be the odd man out who just doesn't want their taxes raised. This is the way that propaganda works. It is designed to make EVERYONE think they are the only way that thinks the way they're thinking. It is designed to make them think that maybe they should reconsider their position.

This is only another aspect of communist/socialist/totalitarian governments.

We need to wake up. If we don't call things what they are we won't be able to deal with them. those who are exercising themselves in these things will continue as long as no one says anything and this is what they count on. When no one says anything again everyone starts to think they are the odd man out and no one else really feels that way.

Trust your judgment. Trust that what you see going on really is going on and SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Obama, Inept, Stupid, Incable, or Intentional

I am amazed at the number of adjectives used to describe Obama, but not one of them seems to meet up with the reality. Both the media and the people of this nation would rather believe Obama is either stupid, inept, incapable, or any number of other word describing his lack of efficacy.

What no one is saying, and what needs to be said, is that Obama is not any of these things. All of these things depend on an assumption that our president is behind the United States and wants to see it succeed. What no one will willing to consider is that all the destructive things happening under the president's watch are things he WANTS to happen.

Our president wants to see the economic collapse of our nation. It has already been shown that he has many links to Saul Alinski, and by his own admission he has sought out Marxists and revolutionaries. This was not only during his "foolish" college days. He still has almost nothing but socialists, communists, and revolutionaries surrounding him. These are the people he picks for his Czars.

It is not that he was unaware of their histories or backgrounds when he chose them. He chose them BECAUSE of their backgrounds. He knows full well what he's doing and what he wants to accomplish. the thing we don't want to see is that the things he wants to accomplish are not the things we want him to accomplish.

Oh he wants to work on the accompany; it is just that the work he's about is destroying it. Almost everything he's done or anything he's been behind has hurt the economy and he is doing everything he can to make sure no one turns back a single thing he's put in place that's causing all the damage.

I believe he earnestly believes what he's doing is for the best of the nation, but good intention, and misguided Marxist philosophy should not be excused or mistaken for any of the adjective mentioned at the beginning of this article. Everyone should be quite clear that what he's doing is intentional. It is not that he has a disconnect from the American people. He knows what we want. He is not stupid. He simply doesn't care what we want. He believes the Marxist way is the better way and is determined that we're going to have it or something as close to it as possible if he has to shove it down our throats.

Even now the lame duck congress is still doing everything it can to shove as many more spending and appropriates down our throats that they can.

Obama has no or little regard for the constitution. He feels that the negative rights and limitations on the government are the problem with the constitution. He has stated before that he feel the constitution ought to state what the government MUST do for us. In saying this he shows his disdain for the constitution he swore to defend and protect. Clearly this oath means little or nothing to the president. I can only surmise that he sees at least one of his duties as president to do everything he can to change that and make the constitution about what the government can tell the people to do for their own good.

Before we can hope to do anything about the problem we need to recognize what the problem is. The problem is not stupidity on the part of Obama it is very intentional. We need to stop using words like progressive which makes it sound either like a milder version of socialism or even worse just another strain of democrat.

We need to stop being afraid to call things by the perfectly good words we already have to describe them. Obama is a socialist, Marxists or communist. USE THE WORD. Don't let them intimidate you into yet more politically correct speech which doesn't address the problem. Demand they start calling themselves what they are and demand that the media does the same thing.
