You recall the millions who saw in Obama a change from the entrenched, self-serving mob-style politics of the past. I was in that group, I just knew Obama wasn’t going to be any different.

Going up against the establishment to do what’s right for the regular people, with the likely outcome of getting destroyed in the process is Change. It looks like this.

But science and politics have a tricky little relationship, as trusted “scientific data” brings big bucks, and hiding other scientific data keeps big bucks from being lost. Government and the laboratory can be just as destructive as the left’s hated military-industrial complex. In my opinion, the “rightful place” of science, regardless of what it is, would be as far from the government as possible.

After months of Climate Gate revelations showing the exact type of manipulation and censorship that Obama railed against, you’d think that this newfound love of science, which would mean believing what the data showed regardless of your personal thoughts, would be affecting the economy busting cap and trade bill and a host of other policies set to take over our lives to save the planet.

Not so, you sillies.

In fact, the most startling revelation of them all came this weekend, where the crucial scientist whose data was at the center of the global warming debate says that there hasn’t been any warming since 1995 and that it was not due to man. If you wanted to double check that, not so much luck since he seems to have lost the papers on it.

Huh? I can almost see Al Gore yelling “Well, hockey sticks!!”

This has now been reported by most of the world media besides MSNBC. India has dropped out of the IPCC and is forming their own panel, supposedly to do actual scientific reviews of data. The best stories have come from the British press, including the BBC.

It’s a long convoluted chain of events and meanings. Data that was supposed to tell the world that government control, more taxes, and lowering of lifestyle to save the planet came from false data, made up data, college kids’ term papers as sources, an Al Gore powerpoint, and the movie The Day After Tomorrow.

As scientific theory goes, the debate can’t be over, even if your government says it is. If science is to be returned to its rightful place, than its best the government withdraws their climate change legislation and gets their hands out of the back pockets of the Big Global Warming industry and the science community.

I do see the temperature rising quickly soon…but it’s going to be isolated in Washington, DC.

No matter what state you are in, you likely questioned the whole thing this weekend (snow in all 49 states minus Hawaii) which is why the US media quickly said the snowstorm is because of global warming as well.

Awkward below. From that right wing machine Fox News..I mean the BBC.

Updated – another oops.

The strategy was simple..and quite brilliant in a political sense. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s right hand, won the first stage of power, the Congress, by choosing candidates who would win, not necessarily pure liberals. Obama’s second stage was to run on a platform of change, transparency, and stay vague. George W. was a sitting duck and the Republican chosen to run against him was indeed Bush II (err.. III).

And the final stage was once they had supermajorities and full control of the government, ram through all their real ideas and no one could stop them. Build a big government and bring everyone into it by handing out money to a desperate, recession ridden country. Once built, almost impossible to undo. And you control the power structure that watches the ballot boxes. Unfortunately his party is split now between those onboard and those needing to get reelected.

Here is today’s news. In my many years of keeping up extensively with current events, I’ve not seen anything like it honestly. All of this was published today.

* After President Obama had to apologize to handicapped kids for his description of his bowling “like the Special Olympics” on Leno, Rahm Emanuel called those in his own party who don’t go along “f***ng retarded.” And it wasn’t the f part that was offensive. He phoned in a call to the Special Olympics and they said nope. He then went in person to apologize and today they said “thanks, but apology not accepted.”

* When they weren’t hiding the global warming decline, they were cooking the books on just how bad unemployment and the recession is to save face since we did spend a trillion to fix that problem. Today it was revealed that the numbers will be slightly adjusted..to the tune of nearing a million more unemployed than they estimated. My theory on how that happened is just a conspiracy.

* Today Obama said the problem isn’t him, it’s that we spend too much time worrying about what they’re doing. We need to stop looking at blogs and watching the news. Seriously, he said that. Video of the remarks and oddly MSNBC cutting away after he tells people to stop watching them too. (Hot Air.)

* A new report on our national security shows that Obama’s new and fresh take on terrorism and hostile regimes is working as well as everyone but him thought it would. Should be seeing a terrorist attack in the US before summer.

* Super Bowl ads are pretty expensive, unless you’re the government. Using some of daddy’s (read China’s) allowance money, you’ll get to see a $2.5 million dollar ad about participating in the Census during the Super Bowl. If you think that’s a lot of money, you haven’t been paying attention.

* But now if YOU want to waste your money on something like Vegas, Obama has some words for you. This being the second time that recession-ridden Vegas has been slammed by Obama, the mayor finally said “screw you.” More specifically that Obama’s “not welcome here.” I’ve never seen an administration flat out scold people and tell them how to lives beyond all the laws that force you to. Except that wasn’t the end of it today…

* You have been instructed by the DOT Secretary not to drive your Toyota. Just kidding he misspoke. The government owns competitor General Motors. So General Motors just told you not to drive your Toyota until you get it repaired.

*5 or so stories on further fraud,lying and hiding on Global Warming at the highest levels that’s not news anymore, but having this former believer/alarmist say he’s defeated by all this corruption and manipulation is news.

* Why is the IRS buying Shotguns????? It’s April 15 kids, lock the doors.

And the fallout of all of this is..

* The Democrats blasting and questioning  Obama are oddly the ones who are teetering on defeat. But…wouldn’t they want the popular, articulate president on their side come election time?

* Now News.. Republicans lead by 12 points for a Senate seat. News.. it’s Obama’s seat in Illinois.

That’s just today’s news. No one has enough time to read even the past week’s news of everything else that has been happening. Hope and change is in the clouds, the rest of us will be stuck with the reality down here. Or as Obama puts it “to clean up the mess.”

I’ll say, this is one cold blip…but a blip Winter 2010 is according to Climate scientists.

3 decades cold snap fills up hospitals in .. Florida. Blip

Wind chill near zero in Canada. I mean Texas. Blip

Wind chills near -50 (your thermometer is doing it wrong). Blip

But indeed, this, and the past few years have been a blip on the grand scale of climate. Fair enough. They’ve got facts to back it up…climate data showing overall we’re warmer the past decade. I mean they don’t make those stats up right? It’s science. (John Stewart weighs in) It’s not like they’d get barred from the scientific community or lose their funding if they went against the established theory.

There was another one of these climate blips in the industrial age. Man made global cooling.

So bundle up and wait for the government to let us know what we can do to help. Wait long enough and they’ll change their mind.

Until then, your lying eyes.

As they say, there are people that can do something and then there are teachers. The new elite class came with the lowest private sector experience in history by far. The Obama administration is made up of thinkers, intellectuals, bureaucrats, and organizers. When I was in middle school I had all kinds of better ideas about how to run the country. As I continued to learn from reality, I saw otherwise.

The intellectuals did the same thing only they turned their Utopian ideas into college credit courses. Once only on the fringe and laughed at by the regular working class, the day is here where they rule us because they know what’s best for us because they thought about it a lot.

The past few days have shown what everyone else already knew. You turn your business around with Jack Welch, not with a PHD economics professor, or Senator Al Franken.

So much foolishness in such a short span of days. Here you are America. You were worried about 4 more years of Bush (as was I) but the next 3 years are far worse.

The Terrorism Attempt and the White House Response

Out of the gate the administration published a report to watch out for right wing terrorism from members of the military, anti-abortion activists, the NRA, etc. They weren’t using the term terrorism much, just for conservatives. As dumb folk would expect, they missed their own terrorism watch list and 300 people nearly were blown away just a few days ago.

This nut, like the 9/11 hijackers, flew under his real name and was stupid enough to buy a one-way ticket and check no baggage. It’s just that we were … a little more stupid. Hot Air – bonus, read our new airline regulations.

Obama responded harshly…a few days later. “We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable. “Not resting means go play a round of golf 40 minutes later. I think a recent retarded President did this and it didn’t go over so well. Perfunction Link: Obama Now Watch This Drive!

His Homeland Security Secretary, the close to criminally incompetent Janet Napolitano, seemed to think the system worked because it was thwarted. If “the system” means that the terrorist having a faulty device while igniting it on the plane worked, I’m scared. Video of interview defending response.
Link to thinking people’s response.

Oh, but one day later she changed her mind (after much intellectualizing about it) and said the system failed miserably. These, are the smartest people in the room.
Video of her doing a 180 a day later.

The Iranian Protestors are Dying for Freedom Again

At the same time we’re bumbling, the Iranian protestors have launched a second wave of attack on the fraudulent reelection victory in Iran. The same Iran that is hiding nuclear development and threatens Israel (used to be ally) about once a week. Obama is “deeply disturbed” yet again. If anything resembles the American Revolution and is a just fight, it’s Iran dying for the right to be a free people at the hands of their corrupt government. But the intellectuals weren’t all that thrilled with our revolution either.

Embarrassingly for Washington, even many European leaders showed more backbone in condemning the Iranian regime’s brutal suppression of protestors, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton humiliatingly outflanked by her French and German counterparts, who had no qualms about speaking out swiftly and firmly against the election result and the actions of the Iranian government. – from British Media

Iranian human-rights groups say that since the government crackdown began in late June, at least 400 demonstrators have been killed while another 56 are unaccounted, which is several times higher than the official figures.

As Krauthammer is basically saying…Obama “You’re Doing it Wrong.

Drunk With Power on Health Care. And Actually Drunk.

In pontificating on health care over the holidays as they try to ram the amazingly unpopular (and probably unconstitutional) bill into law while no one is paying attention, Dem Senator Max Baucus delivered what most think was a drunken tirade on the floor. Let’s pray it was drunken, because at least there would be some explanation for the slurring, incompressible bill..I mean speech..that he gave. Link to Politico Reaction

————-

Goldwater Conservatism..a different strain than the conservatism of Sarah Palin (closer to that of Reagan), was considered unelectable because it was too intellectual. While the bumbling governor of Alaska would be far less dangerous to our freedoms and our security then the intellectual elite, we have about 2 years to find someone to salvage the mess that happened when we gave the kids the keys to the country.

The intellectual elite, who received the benefits given to them by their much wiser greatest generation parents, were able to produce nothing for society and live a rich life that allowed them to sit and think for a living. It’s time to give the keys back to the big kids before something goes much worse than it already is. Take off the suits, put back on the tie-dye shirts, and go back to protesting a world you only understand from the safety of an ivory tower. America will figure out what to do without you telling them.

Or do some PR recovery by going on The Food Network.

These people won’t mind if you tell them what to do. They probably need the direction anyways.
