The left has no Heroes
One anomaly of modern liberalism is that it elevates scoundrels to be heroes, and denigrates heroes into scoundrels. And when it cannot do that, liberalism simply lies.

Sexual Differentiation
This Western cannibalistic inversion of self-destruction in the name of liberal ‘freedom’ must be taken in a wider context of a dying, decaying world that has exhausted its spiritual possibilities, and that is now fully bent on a unique form of altruistic self destruction.

The Lesson of an Affirmative Action President
You don’t pick brain surgeons by the color of their skin. You pick them by competence only. Same thing with airplane pilots. But we have allowed the profoundly irrational liberal media to persuade the American public that we are supposed to pick a U.S. president by affirmative action.

Has Obama become bored with being president?
What Obama wanted was political power, and that is what sent him to Harvard Law School. "He was constantly thinking about his path to significance and power," another organizer, Mike Kruglik, told me. "He said, ‘I need to go there [Harvard] to find out more about power. How do powerful people think? What kind of networks do they have? How do they connect to each other?’"

Climategate: NOAA and NASA Complicit in Data Manipulation
We don’t dispute the fact that there has been some cyclical warming in recent decades — most notably from 1979 to 1998 — but cooling took place from the 1940s to the late 1970s, again after 1998, and especially after 2001, all while CO2 rose. This fact alone questions the primary role in climate change attributed to CO2 by the IPCC, environmental groups, and others.

Hillary Clinton Commits To UN Small Arms Treaty
Disguised as legislation to help in the fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN Small Arms Treaty is nothing more than a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

The Wall Comes Tumbling Down: ‘We are witnessing the Berlin Wall moment in the global warming regime’ | Climate Depot
The statist cabal that has ruled the climate debate since the UN IPCC’s inception in 1988 is now tumbling down before our eyes. The so-called ‘gold-standard’ of scientific review turns out to be counterfeit. Global warming is now undergoing the fastest ever collapse of any modern political movement

Canadian scientist says UN’s global warming panel ‘crossing the line’
Dr. Andrew Weaver with the Climate Change 2007 report in Victoria, BC on Friday, October 12, 2007.
A senior Canadian climate scientist says the United Nations’ panel on global warming has become tainted by political advocacy, that its chairman should resign, and that its approach to science should be overhauled.

Hamas’ 54 Democratic Congressmen
Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America’s first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas’ man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past.

Truth On Trial: Geert Wilders vs. Dutch Thought Police
Back when George W. “Miss Me Yet?” Bush was President, liberals exercised their right of free speech ad naseum to complain about how Bush was taking away their right of free speech. So you might expect that a liberal or two would express at least a little concern when freedom of expression in the western world is threatened in reality, instead of in theory. After all it’s happened just across the border in Canada and it’s happening right now, just across the pond in the Netherlands.

The Marxist Roots of Obama’s Economic ‘Pivot’ – Big Government
President Obama’s advisers assure us that he will use his State of the Union address tonight to deal with our nation’s ailing economy. Americans have already begun to hear talk of a “hard pivot” at the White House, away from health care and towards jobs.

Another blonde celebrity brutally killed by black predator. Media flushes story.
These stories have gone from media sensations to media hush ups in an instant. Why? Because in both cases it was eventually discovered that the perps were black. According to the Department of Justice, blacks are nine times more likely to commit murder than white. Between 1976-2000, blacks accounted for 59% of all felony murders despite being only 13% of the population.

Roger L. Simon » Climategate – the scandal that keeps on giving, even here in Austin
Sitting here in Barbara Jordan Terminal, waiting for my plane home and surfing the net, I came upon yet more Climategate/Glaciergate news from the the superb ongoing Telegraph coverage. Now they reveal the UN IPCC’s head climate honcho Rajendra Pachauri has hired the very scalawag who lied to us for years that the Himalayan glaciers were receding, the very “finding” from which Pachauri has suddenly been trying to distance himself. (Two weeks ago it was just the opposite. Don’t we all wish we had Pachauri’s bank account?)

Manufactured ‘Science’: Another IPCC Scientist Reveals How UN Scientists talked about ‘trying to make IPCC report so dramatic that US would just have to sign Kyoto Protocol’ | Climate Depot
Alabama State Climatologist Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, served as a UN IPCC lead author in 2001 for the 3rd assessment report and detailed how he personally witnessed UN scientists attempting to distort the science for political purposes.

Climategate: The Wheels Come Off for the IPCC
Back in December 2009, Madhav Khandekar, in a guest posting on the blog of Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr., questioned the IPCC AR4 report’s conclusion that glaciers in the Himalayas — vital to the water supply of the whole Ganges Valley — would disappear by 2035. (This was first reported by PJM on December 1.) The problem was that this really couldn’t be verified in the “peer-reviewed” literature. In fact, as it was investigated, it looked more and more suspicious.

Obama’s Washington Corruption, Criminality And Insanity Reach New Lows
The recent Senatorial election and extreme establishment upset in Massachusetts only seems to have had a marginal impact on the elitist rulers in Washington D.C. Instead of acknowledging the first election of a Republican Senator to Massachusetts’ (and this was called leftist “Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat”) since 1972 as a demand by the people for elected officials to change their Marxist/Totalitarian course of action in the nation’s capitol, leftist Democrats are now spinning it as an election that meant “we haven’t been liberal (AKA totalitarian) enough!”

Ignoring ‘Climategate’
Since Climategate broke, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change admitted that its much-cited 2007 claim that the Himalayan glaciers would have melted by 2035 was unsubstantiated by scientific evidence. Further media reports revealed Michael Mann, one of the key scientists implicated in Climategate, is still receiving millions of dollars in grant money from the 2009 stimulus package. Yet policymakers in Washington and around the world press on, even as the climate-change evidence becomes more and more dubious.

Climategate: Just Sign on the Dotted Line
The mainstream media were convinced of global warming theory’s legitimacy by the warnings supposedly signed by large numbers of the world’s climate scientists. The propagandists in this effort were led by the now-discredited Dr. Phil Jones of Britain and former Vice President Al Gore.

What’s In a Black Name?
As fun as it is to watch "Dingy Harry" squirm, it’s more than a little confusing. As blacks go, Barack Obama is, in fact, "light-skinned." During the election there were not a few genuine American blacks who publicly expressed concern that he wasn’t black enough to properly represent them, whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Yes, Africa Must Go To Hell
I welcome James Jackson’s courage in pointing out the fact that Africa’s chronic dysfunction is the result of, not white European rule in the past, but black Africans rule in the present—that, rather than its being the result of European colonialism and post-imperial indifference, as is the Left’s contention, chronic dysfunction in the region is the result of European post-colonialism and post-imperial aid programs.

When Is a Person Not a Person?
Socialists have the most incredible lack of intellectual ability, and they lack the most basic tenets of morality. Why is this? It is because their lives are predicated on political philosophy rather than on facts and truth. That is how the Kenyan, Obama, came to be the Great Pretender in the White House. In essence, he spoke well, but didn’t have an ounce of truth about him. Yet, people voted for him, to the astonishment of more rigorous minds.

A Resounding Defense of the First Amendment: ‘Congress Shall Make No Law’
“Censorship” is a dirty word in America, and that is why the restrictions at issue in our case were cloaked in the guise of “campaign finance reform.” But the fact remains that any restrictions on political speech, especially those that criminalize such speech, send us down a very slippery and very dangerous slope.

Understanding Liberal Rage Over Citizens United
On paper the Citizens United case has all the makings of a solid liberal issue. First Amendment protections, considered sacrosanct by the left when a reporter is leaking classified information, are strengthened for those speaking truth to power. Both the ACLU and AFL-CIO support the decision. So why are prominent liberals speaking out so vehemently against it?

Spreading AIDS to Uganda
While President Obama has lifted restrictions on AIDS-infected foreigners entering the United States, the "gay rights" lobby is demanding more. Led by lesbian Rep. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, 90 mostly Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives are demanding that President Obama denounce the Christians of Uganda for considering new legislation opposing homosexual practices that threaten public health in that East African country.

The Roots of Obama Worship
Obama recently awarded himself the grade of “a good, solid B plus” for his performance in office, but the public is not as lenient. The gap in the assessment between Obama the candidate and Obama the president is enormous. Having entered office with a public approval of 70 percent, he has fallen today below 50 percent, the steepest such decline at this point of any first-term president in the postwar period. Obama also has the lowest approval rating at the end of a president’s first year.

No Western Assault Rapists in Oslo’s Streets
The police in the Norwegian capital Oslo revealed that 2009 set yet another record: compared to 2008, there were twice as many cases of assault rapes. In each and every case, not only in 2008 and 2009 but also in 2007, the offender was a non-Western immigrant. At the same time, in 9 out of 10 cases, the victim was Norwegian, not just by nationality, but also by ethnicity.

Before Camus: Gustave Le Bon on ‘The World in Revolt’
Goading the mob to regard custom and the law as, by their mere existence, offenses against equality, the agitators excited it “to regard itself as a victim and to pillage, burn, and massacre, imagining that in so doing it was exercising a right.” The fetish of equality, inflated to the status of “an absolute truth,” imbued its adherents with murderous intolerance.

Progressives and Their Fallacies
Ideology knows no cultural, political, or economic boundaries. Adherents to doctrinaire belief systems — left, right, religious, anti-religious — brush aside evidence that might tempt them to question their beliefs. Yet one critter inhabits a class unto itself: the "progressive," a creature who drags muddled thought to unexplored depths.

Climategate: CRU Was But the Tip of the Iceberg
Not surprisingly, the blatant corruption exposed at Britain’s premiere climate institute was not contained within the nation’s borders. Just months after the Climategate scandal broke, a new study has uncovered compelling evidence that our government’s principal climate centers have also been manipulating worldwide temperature data in order to fraudulently advance the global warming political agenda.

Why Are Jews Liberals?
Why, asks Podhoretz, do Jews cling to this belief if it no longer serves our interest? One possibility is that convictions linger as evolutionary adaptations do, past their usefulness. Evolution and history combine to upend us: Jews still eat rich foods and still vote liberal. But there is another possible understanding of why Jews cleave to their political faith: it may be a product of kinship stronger than any ideology. It may not be about whom we vote for but whom we vote with.

SCOTUS Rejects the Theory of the ‘Dying Constitution,’ Strikes Blow for Liberty
The Citizens United decision is a powerful rebuke to the forces that believe our Constitution is less a solid foundation of our democracy then a political pretzel to be bent and twisted into any form the politicians choose. Sadly, far too many journalists and other people who really should know better blindly accept this bizarre vision of our founding documents.
