Is Global Warming Fever Cooling Off?

Ok, this is insane. I believe I will be able to say “I told ya so” when this is all said and done.

The scientist who is at the center of Climategate and whose raw data is “crucial to the theory of climate change” is recanting

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

Now there is a whole lot of scientists suggesting that the earth may not be warming much at all

Many of these articles linked (Source 1 and Source 2) suggest that “warming recorded by weather stations was often caused by local factors rather than global change.” I believe I have said this before.

I also said that a major problem is that there is all of this funding created by the fear-mongering of environmentalist who blindly follow the propaganda of Al Gore Jr. If you think about it, the scientists received initial funding, but in order to retain funding had to show results. Fake the numbers, you get paid to continue your research. Even worse is that crap that has been pushed on everyone to follow the “green movement” in order for people like Mr. Gore, who is heavily invested in the so called “green energy” companies to make a lot of money and to afford to fly around in private jets and take limousines to their events. Follow the money. Liberals have told me to do so with former Vice President Cheney and his connection to Halliburton and their no-bid contracts, now it’s time for a big dose of your own medicine.

The Health Care “Debate” Goes On

I have been searching for the right way to express how I feel about the current debate about the “reform” that Congress has on the table and I may have struck gold. Both sides of the issue are missing the point and not using any common sense. For starters, this bill that is proposed in the House of Representatives is not reform, it is remaking the health care system. The problems with the models that our system is proposed to be shaped in are not appealing. Hence why we have people who come to the U.S. from overseas to get elective procedures done. Elective, meaning not life threatening. Reform would make it better and if you think that this is going to be better, you need to think for yourself, do the research and use some common sense.

I am sure this article will be reported to the new White House thought police. Ya, there is an email address that the White House wants people to report any “disinformation”(disagreement) about health care to. (flag at whitehouse.gov) I encourage any of you who read this to research the facts for yourself. If I am wrong, report me. I expect to be reported anyways, even though there is evidence that policy may be illegal. Read more

Health Care Reform? Riiiiiiiiiight

So Democrats in general would want a “two payer system” of health care in order to have options, right? I’m thinking that we need to really pay attention to what they have said because inevitably, I believe we would end up with the single payer(government/state run) health care system. Want proof? Ok.

In this video, Obama says he supports the single payer health care system.

However, in this video, he supports the 2 payer system… kinda. This is what he is selling to everyone in America right now.

However, if you remember one of his attacks on John McCain in the 08 presidential race was that John McCain was going to tax health care benefits that you receive from your employer? You don’t remember? Here, let me refresh your memory.

But when asked if taxing health care was on the table, this sure seems to be worse than the “read my lips” speech by George H.W. Bush in 1988. It may be necessary to tax employer-sponsored health care to expand coverage? I thought this was what they rode John McCain’s ass about during the campaign.

So what happens if the average citizen has the option to be taxed more or to take the government health care? It’s almost a no brainer to those who think that medicare is a horrible health care system. Pay the taxes. However, employers may be taxed even more and withdraw. Less customers means higher risk, higher premiums in any insurance company. In that case the government simply has to undercut the private companies. If that happens, how long will the private insurance companies be in business?

Maybe we should just watch another video of another prominent Democrat talk about health care reform.

Just discuss this on the phatooine.net forums.

Plot to assassinate Obama foiled.

Source. All I can say is, GOOD! As much as I do not want Obama to be the president, I feel that these backwoods hicks deserve to be treated like a common criminal and jailed for as long as possible. While the plot to assassinate Senator Obama is an unacceptable crime, even worse was their plot to shoot 88 black students and decapitate 14 non-white students after robbing a gun store.

While these men may have felt that they had no other outlet to voice their opinion, violence only furthers the problems that we face in America.

Discuss this on the phatooine.net message boards.
