Hmmm. It seems Hurricane Irene didn’t behave as predicted by the weather specialists. You know, the “scientists” we’re crazy not to believe like the Gospel.
The Washington Post quotes National Hurricane Center senior forecaster Richard Pasch as saying “People see that and assume we can predict everything.” He also expressed frustration that people “take our forecasts verbatim.”
So when it comes to unsupported claims based on fudged computer models about what is supposed to happen with the climate in 100 years or 300 years, we’re supposed to eagerly and joyfully surrender up our freedom and our property to stop a hypothetical climate apocalypse?
But when it comes to what is supposed to happen in the next 24 to 72 hours, we’re not supposed to take that too seriously?
But what do I know? I’m just a racist (though since I’m a Republican, I’ll probably have to switch parties).

May 23, 2013 was a sad day for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), and another tragic day for an America in decline. The Scouts' corporate-driven leaders in their folly put sexual morality up for a vote, and when it was all over, the Scouts as we once knew them -- a God-fearing, wholesome organization -- were finished.
The Supreme Court in 2010 ruled unequivocally in the Citizens United v. FEC decision that independent political expenditures by 501(c)(4) organizations are protected under groups’ First Amendment rights to the freedom of speech. They cannot be restricted. Yet the IRS, under President Obama, has sought to restrict the activities of Tea Party and other conservative groups.
The positive and negative impacts of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) will be examined by a special working group within the House Resources Committee. The committee should explore how the broadest possible application of the ESA has impacted communities, private property rights and in some cases has actually harmed the species recovery itself.
The number one charge, the highest calling and responsibility of our federal government, is to protect our shores and American lives. That’s it, pure and simple! In order to institute its fair expectation, we have created and maintain a standing military. As such, members of our military begin their service with a sworn oath to protect and defend. Along our way, standard operating procedures have gone astray.
As a new member of the House Armed Service Committee, it has been especially troubling to hear of the rise of sexual assaults in the military. According to the Pentagon, there has been nearly a 35 percent increase in sexual assaults in the U.S. military since 2010. This statistic is one of the reasons I’ve spent the last couple months working on ways to address this problem.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
