Then, on March 23, he totally flips. Apparently, Newt saw the irrational, unconstitutional, upshot of his March 7th comments…

Moreover, this interventionist nonsense in Libya raises far more important and fundamental issues as noted by Elan Journo precisely on Tuesday:

” When our interests are at stake — as they were and are in Iran — we hold back and appease. When someone else’s interests appear to be on the line (the rebels and civilians in Libya), we dutifully scramble jet-fighters and put American lives in harm’s way, for the sake of serving others. Why? That double standard is rooted in the prevalent, and perverse, moral view that permeates our foreign policy — a view requiring that we put the needs of others ahead of our own goals and interests. Acting in accordance with that view — as I argue in my book — has been enormously destructive to American security and freedom, across decades.”

Right on Elan!

Well, all of this simply means another GOP presidential wannabe bites the dust by illustrating an utter lack of a consistent and rational philosophy.. A philosophy sorely needed to lead this nation in the years and decades to come.

So long Newt, I for one won’t miss you.

LOL More UN dribble.

Why is the movement headed by the terrorist group “Muslim Brotherhood” now considered a democracy movement? I smell a rat. This is nothing more than a proxy war funded by Iran to displace moderate governments in Tunisia, Yemen, Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon with hard line Muslim theocracies.

I urge caution using the term “democracy” to spread Muslim radicalism in the middle east. All of the media are getting duped and aren’t even raising the question. The major media is now nothing more than an extension of Al Jazeera. We are being fed a diatribe of do-gooderness in the disguise of democracy. Even Mitt Romney is now following Obama’s backpedaling. Both Romney and Obama don’t have a clue.

India has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because it “cannot rely” on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr R K Pachauri.

Whether it is CO2 or methane, or some other gaseous boogie-man, the whole house of catastrophic man-made global warming cards is premised upon one singular concept: man is increasing the concentration of gases (particularly CO2) into the atmosphere that in turn increase the global temperature, which ostensibly increases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere – this implies a theoretical multiplier effect from the production of additional water vapor.

The reason an increase in water vapor is critical in the analysis is that water vapor (including cloud formations) is almost exclusively the most important aspect of the atmosphere responsible for keeping us warm enough to live on the earth. There is no disagreement in any quarter of science in this matter, it is utterly self-evident. The sun shines, it warms the ground and the air, and the higher the water vapor content the faster and warmer the air becomes. You can see this on any muggy August day when the humidity is high as not only does the ambient temperature warm dramatically during the daytime, it remains hot even after dark.

So, the theory of catastrophic man-made global warming is premised upon the idea that by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere you get not just an effect from a higher concentration of CO2, but you get a positive feedback above and beyond, and this then becomes a vicious circle of doomsday proportions. In fact, this positive feedback loop has been “quantified” by the IPCC to be +60%. This is how they have been able to calculate predictions of global warming with a doubling of pre-industrial CO2 to over 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the science is clear and irrefutable and there is a consensus by scientists that this is the case how can it be that there are skeptics? How could any rational human not rally to the cause and do whatever is necessary to save mankind from himself? Well, this is where the story gets interesting. There is an inconvenient truth, and it is a profound inconvenience for the whole theory stated (albeit in abbreviated terms) above. And it is based not on a theoretical model of positive feedback, but rather on direct observations of what has actually happened relative to reasonably accurate measurements of the increase in CO2.

The evidence shows that, just as Al Gore misrepresented the cause and effect relation of temperature and CO2 in his now totally debunked movie, the IPCC has misrepresented the positive feedback. Oh, they got the number approximately correct, 60, but they got the sign wrong! The real relationship is actually NEGATIVE. There is no positive feedback loop, in fact it is actually a negative feedback and this is why we now have many more scientists around the world scratching their heads and jumping off the “consensus” bandwagon and becoming skeptics.

Is the climate changing? Yes. Are we responsible for it? Good question. The fact is we have an impact, we are real, and we are here. The direction and extent of what our activities here on earth contribute to climate change is not known. What we now do know is that the IPCC’s model is seriously flawed, as was Gore’s movie.

For a great primer on this, please see:

How do they get a lot of warming from a little gas?

Yet, all the contortions in Congress, the presumptuous news articles all about, and all of the climate legislation that has been proffered to date and, most likely, to be resurrected again, is premised on this positive feedback notion. So, if and when you get a chance to corner your Senator or Congressman, please ask them to explain the fundamental rational behind whatever flavor of climate legislation is de jour. Pin them on this, and force them to explain the premise. Then, when they utter the positive feedback idea (if they even have that under their hat) let them have it with both barrels on the above reality…

We need cap and trade like we need a hole in the head, and your elected representative needs to know the folly of pushing it further..

….. apoplectic

What do the lunatic lefties become when a few citizens voice their opposition to an oppressive federal government? These same lefties have no problem when urine bombs are launched at convention goers during the Republican convention, but go bonkers when conservatives hold peaceful rallies across the country. Just goes to show the absolute hypocrisy of the left.

You want a real reason to be outraged – this is it!

Napolitano:
I was at a dinner last night (3/31/09) in Washington, D.C.. sitting next to me was a banker who was the Chair and CEO of one of the ten largest banking holding companies in the United States. They have $250 billion in assets, no bad debt of which they are aware, did not engage in credit default swaps, they have no sub-prime mortgages, and they don’t need any government assistance.

He informed me that the FDIC and The Treasury came to him and said ‘if you don’t issue a special class of stock just for us, which we can borrow, we will audit you publicly – it will cost you millions in employee time and bad publicity and in lost business. That’s your choice.’

Isn’t that extortion?

This successful banker begged the federal government to let him run his bank. Begged his board of directors to let him tell the FDIC to ‘go take a hike.’

The board caved, they issued a special class of stock, Hank Paulson bought the special class of stock (2% of the company’s stock). That was September…

Come March (knock, knock) Sheila Bair (FDIC head) comes knocking: ‘we own 2% of your stock, and here’s how you are going to structure your corporation’

So, A, if this story is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not true, this is extortion. Which is, B, a crime, and C, we have a 2% share owner of non-voting stock now trying to control management.

Stossel: Is this the banker that gives out copies of Atlas Shrugged ? The charity that does that?

Napolitano: Yes.

Napolitano: John, you would have been very comfortable at this dinner party…

Stossel: Yes, I would have.
