Rush Limbaugh has created his own video to counter the creepy kids from the World Wildlife Fund. This stuff is great!

Please Obama, save us! What a crock! All of the points raised by the kids in the WWF video involve the U.S. paying for everything --here and abroad. One kid raises the question, "...so why would the United States stand in everybody eles's way?" How exactly are we standing in the way of any other country? Most of the countries mentioned in the WWF video are countries who complain about U.S. foreign policy; they want the U.S. out of their business. But if we are going to give them money, and build "green" systems for them, they are --all of a sudden-- going to be receptive to our policies?

The people behind the WWF are rubes. These are the kind of people who would fall for a phishing scam. Sure you have rich relatives in Russia. They are just waiting to give you money, just send them your bank account number, oh and don't for get the routing number.

I wonder what these kids are going to think in ten or fifteen years, when there has been no climate disaster?

Remember the same kind of warnings were given in the 1970s.

I must also mention that China, who leads the world in power sector carbon emissions, is not "required" to do anything per the Kyoto Protocol. China entered the agreement as a developing nation. China has absolutely no commitment to reducing carbon emissions. If you ask my they're smart. Because China is listed as a developing nation, they can get money from the World Monetary Fund to upgrade their power infrastructure.

The house version of the Health Care Reform Bill contains something noteworthy. As Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter on Friday, October 23, 2009…

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

Let's get a few things out of the way. The United States Constitution does not allow for the government to force (mandate) its citizens to purchase anything.

Nancy Pelosi either doesn't know this, or doesn't feel that she needs to answer the question. I think she knows the answer, but isn't going to comment. Here's why...

Consider, the current health care legislation's funding is based on the idea that people will be forced into the health insurance market by way of a government mandate. Remember, the plan is going to pay for itself because everyone will be in the system right?

Now consider, if the bill passes in its current form, or some form that still has the mandate in place, there will be a lawsuit and the mandate will be found unconstitutional. There is no Constitutional basis for a mandate of any kind. When the Supreme Court bars the mandate based on the fact that it is unconstitutional, what happens? Where is the funding going to come from?

Pelosi is like a Scooby Doo villain. "And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids Constitution!"

So, where will the money for government health insurance come from? I'll give you a hint. Tax increases. The mandate itself could be considered a tax, but Obama doesn't see it that way.

Just more (unconstitutional) "Change You Can Believe In..."

When I first heard of the Fort Hood shooting, I was at the pediatrician's office with my wife and my new baby boy. Fox News was on in the lobby. I watched as Shepard Smith said, "The FBI is in route to Fort Hood right now." Which makes sense I suppose, but why would the FBI be involved if there were not already some information about those involved? Then Smith says, "The FBI has stated that the shooting is not an act of terrorism." How can the FBI which is not even on the scene yet determine that terrorism was not the goal in the shootings? This announcement was made before the name of the shooter had been released. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

I've seen a lot of things, but this is insane. Remember everyone, this is not terrorism. What else do you call a mass shooting? Now the news is filled with nothing but story after story of people comming forward telling how they knew that this guy might be a Jihadist. Look at this headline!

Hasan Called Himself 'Soldier of Allah' on Business Cards

Here is more from the Washington Post article.

Opened to reporters by a manager on Wednesday, the scuffed one-bedroom rental on Fourth Street presents a few scattered tiles in the mosaic of Hasan's life. Among them is a box of business cards, ordered from an Internet printer, that signal Hasan's profession and his faith:

"Behavioral Health -- Mental Health -- Life Skills

Nidal Hasan, MD, MPH

SoA(SWT)

Psychiatrist"

SoA refers to "soldier of Allah" or "slave of Allah," and "SWT" to an Arabic phrase meaning "glory to him, the exalted."

So this guy had business cards which portrayed his radical beliefs? This is incredible! Of course nobody wanted to turn him in. It would not have been politically correct. After all, he's a Muslim.

Politically correct speak is a way to limit the exchange of information. Instead of saying what you think, you have to slow down and reword it. When you inject PC terms the tone (inflection) of what you have to say is completely different.

Consider if someone says "Damn, that woman is fine!" there is a much different tone than "She's attractive." One must keep in mind that the person who says "She's attractive" might be thinking "Damn, that women is fine." Because of the word choice the thoughts of that individual were suppressed. Of course this is an extreme example, but you get the idea. Political correctness limits information exchange, and makes conversation more generic. Who want's that?

Classmate: Hasan said terror fight a war on Islam

Dr. Val Finnell was a classmate of Hasan's at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. Both attended a master's in public health program in 2007 and 2008.

Finnell says he got to know Hasan in an environmental health class. At the end of the class, students gave presentations. Finnell says other classmates wrote on subjects such as dry cleaning chemicals and mold in homes, but Hasan's topic was whether the war against terror was "a war against Islam." Finnell described Hasan as a "vociferous opponent" of the terror war.

Finnell says Hasan told classmates he was "a Muslim first and an American second."

Political correctness played an indirect roll in the deaths of those shot at Fort Hood. That's enough for me.

People actually died because others were worried that if they pointed out the obvious they would be chastised for it!

This is classic!

Apparently if you own an "Jail-Broken" iPhone or iPod Touch (with SSH installed) you could be at risk! The BBC breaks this case wide open! So you can get your iPhone hacked and have a picture of Rick Astley plastered up as the background.

The picture of Rick Astley is believed to be a nod to the internet phenomenon known as Rickrolling, where web users are tricked into clicking on what they believe is a relevant link, only to find that it actually takes the user to a video of the pop star's song "Never gonna give you up".

"What's clear is that if you have jail-broken your iPhone or iPod Touch, and installed SSH, then you must always change your root user password to something different than the default, 'alpine'," wrote Graham Cluley of security firm Sophos.

Some estimates suggest that up to 10% of all iPhones and iPod Touch are jail-broken.

The practice allows a phone user to install software and applications that have not been approved by Apple.

The worm has so far only been found circulating in Australia, where the hacker - Ashley Towns - who wrote the program lives.

The code contains numerous comments from Mr Towns about his motivation.

One comment reads: "People are stupid and this is to prove it."

"It's not that hard guys. But hey who cares its only your bank details at stake."

This reminds me of the early 90s when viruses were mostly harmless. Most viruses were just annoying, some were even funny.

p.s. If you Google "Rickrolling" DON NOT GO TO "rickrolling.com"! Just a warning...

Many people remember history class and don't have fond memories of it. I didn't like history when I was in school. History class always consisted of remembering dates. I had teachers who were only interested in dates. That's one of the reasons that I didn't like history, it made for a boring subject, because it was simply memorizing dates and events. There was no substance to it.

It wasn't until I was older that I realized what had happened. When I read about a historical events on my own, I found that I had missed a lot while I was in school not because I didn't pay attention, but because it was never presented to me.

When taught about WWII, there was no mention of the past historical events that lead up to the war. We just jumped right in, here are the countries and here are some dates. It was like showing up to a movie 30 minutes late. Characterization and some background had already taken place before you arrived. That characterization, and background is exactly what was missing from the history I was taught.

One can't delve into WWII without examining hundreds of years of history. Now, I know that the school curriculum is limited time-wise, but there could have been much more informative sessions as to why specific events occurred.

I don't think that this, watering down of history, happened by accident. I feel that in order for what is taking place right now in the U.S. to occur, history had to have been "nipped in the bud." This is why many older Americans are worried about the future of the country. The younger Americans have no historical perspective on which to base their decisions That's why so many younger Americans get swept up in idiocy.

Remember the post I did about Reagan and Operation Coffee Cup Coffee Cup? Reagan warned of exactly what is happening to our country right now.

There were many memorable quotes in that recording. One of those quotes applies to current times. Reagan quoted Norman Thomas, a six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." -Norman Thomas

What I have seen is that people from other countries have a better since of what is going on in the U.S. Take for example this article from PRAVDA On-line (a Russian news publication).

This is a brilliant article by Stanislav Mishin.

"American capitalism gone with a whimper"

Read it, and research it. You will find that Mishin is 100% correct.

When it comes to politics in America, most of the general electorate is disinterested. We have to change this if the United States is going to survive as it was envisioned.
