Let me just say up front that I have seen and read compelling evidence that during the last quarter of the Twentieth century the planet has indeed been on a warming trend. I have also seen and read compelling evidence, however, that suggests that during the first part of this century that warming trend has plateaued and possibly even peaked and begun to decline.
Having stated that, and having watched the putz I am probably going to be forced to cast my vote for President this fall (because the alternative choice is exponentially worse) give a speech stating that Anthropological Global Warming is settled science and needs to be addressed with Government programs and regulations, I feel it necessary for everyone to examine with a bit more scrutiny the linchpin of the Anthropological Global Warming premise – the Anthropological part.

Wow. It’s a good thing Thomas Sowell is Black, otherwise the MSM would have labeled him a riacist, a bigot, and maybe even instigated a high-tech lynching protest for daring to say such things in public:
William F. Buckley’s wife once mentioned in passing, at dinner in her home, that she had been involved for years in working with a school in Harlem. But I never heard her or Bill Buckley ever say that publicly.
Nor do conservatives who were in the civil-rights marches in the south, back when that was dangerous, make that a big deal.
For people on the Left, however, blacks are trophies or mascots, and must therefore be put on display. Nowhere is that more true than in politics.
The problem with being a mascot is that you are a symbol of someone else’s significance or virtue. The actual well-being of a mascot is not the point.
Read it all. It’s worth it.
Ironic, isn’t it, that on authoring articles with subject matter such as this the MSM seems to have an unwritten rule… No Whites allowed.

During the earlier stages of the presidential campaign, there was always a low buzz hovering around any gathering of conservatives, who were wondering if Fred Thompson was the real deal. Sure, he had a fair record of standing by conservative principles as a Senator, but he was a close friend of John McCain’s, wasn’t he? Despite his seemingly blunt admission that he had been wrong about campaign finance reform, shouldn’t a real conservative have voted against something so blatantly offensive to the First Amendment? Have you heard that Thompson’s campaign is nothing but a ’stalking horse’, and that he’s auditioning for the VP slot?
Well, I think we can disregard most of that buzzing.
In this unpredictable world, conservatives should adhere to their fundamental ideals. These ideals have brought our country much success, and may well win the day again. Conservatives must have faith that, more often than not, Americans will make the sacrifices necessary to preserve national security and prosperity.Maybe I’m making a bit too much of this, but it seems to me that at a time when the McCain campaign is trying to convince conservatives that he’s really one of them (all evidence to the contrary), and when they speak to America as if there has been no sundering of the Republican Party from the Conservative movement, and that we are all still one big happy family, Fred Thompson has crashed their moderate/independent love-fest in the clear, calm, and definitively conservative way that some of us have come to love and respect. The Man Who Would Be King is really an Emperor Wearing No Clothes.A political party that adheres to conservative principles should have continuing success – especially if its leadership believes in those principles and is able to articulate them.

Judicial Activism Anyone?

I’m sure you saw this article from the AP today, but did any one else NOT gloss over the line “California’s Supreme Court to postpone putting its decision legalizing gay marriage into effect”? How is this NOT blatant judicial activism? That being said, I must admit I’m entirely against gay ‘marriage’. It is an abomination and a travesty. Just thought I’d throw that in there.

Well, what do we have here? The Associated Press makes a Freedom of Information Act request to the Navy for the release of John McCain’s military records, John McCain approves the release by signing a SF-180… and the Navy releases them? Just like that? You mean, it’s that easy? It’s that quick?
How is this possible? John McCain isn’t even the ‘official’ GOP Presidential nominee yet and he was willing and able to have his full military record released to the media and the public! I was under the impression that no matter how much a Presidential candidate tried to get military records released, the Military bureaucracy made that next to impossible to accomplish. I have been told this for 1194+ days! Was all that a lie?
Why would anyone not want to release a record of military service that includes a full accounting of the medals, awards and citations earned during that service? Wouldn’t that kind of information only serve to demonstrate to the public a candidates bona fides for the job of Commander in Chief, and thereby enhance their chances of getting elected?
Curious!
