No, New York Has Not Become Daytona Beach

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Thirty years ago this week, in 1985, “government scientists” confidently predicted that, due to man-made Global Warming, New York City, by the year 2015, would be “like Daytona Beach” ( http://godfreydaily.com/2015/03/05/flashback-1985-govt-scientists-once-predicted-nyc-would-resemble-daytona-beach-the-daily-caller/ ).

Yes, that was the “settled science” back then, based on “irrefutable data,” blah-blah. But today, in 2015, New York has just had another major snow storm and here, a few miles south of the city, it was 8 degrees this morning.

Good thing we didn’t act on that prediction, isn’t it?

If you think I’m beating a dead horse, think again: this horse ain’t dead. Big Government, Big Science, and the United Nations Dictators Club are still going all out for Global Warming. It’s even rumored that the biggest Global Warming guru of them all, Al Gore, is thinking about making another run for president.

Saving the Planet is still the world’s greatest excuse for growing the government, raising taxes, and gobbling up personal liberty. It justifies anything and everything; that’s why libs and progs still like it.

And so the UN tells us that it’s only cold where you happen to be, personally–the rest of the world is sweltering. “It’s only the Eastern United States that’s cold,” they say: having redefined “Eastern United States” to embrace everything east of the Rockies. Give them a little snow in California, and “Eastern” will mean everything east of the Pacific.

Why do they tell these easily-refuted lies?

To get you to obey. To make you do what they want. Because it fits their “narrative” that each succeeding year is the warmest known in human history, and that unless they are given undreamed-of powers, we’re all gonna die of heat prostration–that, or we’ll just all drown when thousands of our cities wind up underwater.

For as long as the Rulers have that mind-set, the rest of us dare not relax our vigilance.

You Heard It from a Noozie: Man is God

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

In case you missed it last week, noozie Chris Cuomo publicly stated that we get our rights not from God who created us, but from man ( http://www.worldmag.com/2015/02/chris_cuomo_our_rights_do_not_come_from_god ).

http://accessnews.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Declaration-of-Independence.jpg

He made this grotesque remark in an interview with Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, in which he tried to overthrow Moore’s argument that marriage is ordained by God to consist of a man and a woman. Judge Moore is a great man. Chris, the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo–who famously postulated that a Christian politician need not, in his public policy, be guided by Christian morality–is a noozie, which these days is a shameful thing to be. He is also an ignoramus, running straight up against Thomas Jefferson: who wrote, in The Declaration of Independence,

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights…

“Inalienable,” for those who can’t do adult crossword puzzles, means not for sale, cannot be given away, cannot be taken away: these are rights that are inherent in our status as human beings.

I leave it to you whether this noozie is a pagan. But if he isn’t, I daresay there’s something very deficient in his grasp of Christian doctrine.

What man can give, man can take away. The noozies are comfortable with that now because their favorite progs and libs control the state. They ought to bear in mind Plutarch’s observation that tyranny is a nice, high perch, but there’s no safe way down from it.

Can the President Raise Your Taxes?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives… (Section 7)

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises… (Section 8)

–Article I of the United States Constitution

When Valerie Jarrett, back in 2008, said Obama was “ready to rule,” no one realized she meant it literally.

Fresh off his stroke-of-the-pen “executive amnesty” for millions of illegal aliens, President *Batteries Not Included now contemplates a “unilateral tax hike” by means of yet another executive order ( http://townhall.com/tipsheet/conncarroll/2015/03/02/obama-very-interested-in-raising-taxes-through-executive-action-n1964629 ).

The Constitution–laughingly referred to as the supreme law of the land–gives Congress the exclusive power to raise taxes. So what does this president think he is doing?

We can shed some light on this thanks to an exclusive interview with a presidential adviser named Carbuncle, who normally appears to be nothing more than a small growth near the president’s armpit. While the president is asleep, or otherwise insensible, Carbuncle can take the form of a large insect and move about independently.

“He will tell you he only wants to raise a mere $100 billion–chicken-feed!–by closing off tax loopholes and punishing those big corporations that everybody hates,” said Carbuncle. “This is going to happen in all 57 states, and that $100 billion is only the first installment.

“The president is distressed that some vestiges of the Constitution might remain intact after his final year in office. He is also keen to establish many more vacation residences for himself in various countries of the world. That will cost lots of dollars! So far he is looking at places in Costa Rica, Dubai, Switzerland, the Maldives, and some 90 other undisclosed locations.”

How can the former community organizer get away with such blatant violations of the law?

“Easy! Simple!” answered Carbuncle. “He knows no one in America will dare to demand his impeachment, because everyone in America is terrified of being called a racist. They would rather bow down to a tyrant than run the risk of being slammed by the media. So he can do anything he wants.”

Besides which, he whispered, while suggestively waving his antennae, “He has help from a place that many Americans don’t believe in but that all are afraid of.”

Why Executive Amnesty is Morally Wrong

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

http://www.worldhistory218.com/uploads/9/7/0/4/9704720/6757138.png

For the time being, a federal judge has put the kibosh on President *Batteries Not Included’s “executive amnesty” for millions of illegal aliens. But of course, once “progressives” have an evil work in hand, they never drop it. And the headlines are full of Republican surrender monkeys who seem to think the last election didn’t count.

Let us disregard, for the sake of argument, the probably irreparable harm that would be done by trying to digest, all at once, millions of unskilled poor people who come here from a foreign country and can’t speak English. Indeed, let’s go farther–even farther than Fat-head Jeb Bush, who thinks erasing our borders will somehow “lift our spirits.” Let’s say this wholesale amnesty will be altogether a blessing: guaranteed to get our economy moving again, re-invigorate a rotting culture, refresh our social institutions, and result in each and every one of us getting a highly-paid no-show job with a big fat pension that kicks in when we turn 35.

Executive amnesty would still be wrong.

Why? Because, as the president himself has remarked many times, during lucid intervals, the Constitution simply doesn’t give a president that kind of power. He cannot exercise such power without way overstepping his bounds. He can’t do it without violating the law and threatening the continued existence of our republican form of government.

Should the chief executive of a modern, civilized country also be its chief law-breaker?

And if Congress is willing to let a president function as a king, at the expense of its own Constitutional prerogatives and sphere of authority–well, then, what does that make them?

At the moment, it seems that all that stands between America and monarchy is a single federal judge.

That, and our prayers.

A Few Simple Truths

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

There are times when I just feel swamped–so much crazy stuff going on, I can’t decide what to write about. So how about a little selection of simple observations?

Just because everybody says it’s true, doesn’t mean it’s true. The “appeal to consensus” is an invalid argument. But it’s the main support beam for Evolution, Climate Change, what have you.

But of course if the majority opinion is that some liberal scheme is wrong and totally undesirable, consensus then becomes irrelevant.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker doesn’t have a college degree; therefore he isn’t qualified to be president. Maybe he ought to cram for a degree in Women’s Studies. Then he’d be qualified to be president.

Every utopian scheme–are you listening, Humanist Manifesto fans?–is doomed to run aground on the rocks of sheer impossibility. They promise things that no one can give, and eventually succeed only in arousing a revolution of rising expectations. You can’t string people along forever.

If President *Batteries Not Included really loves this country, he has a mighty strange way of showing it.

If our current crop of leaders truly is the best a nation of 300 million can do, God help us.

$35 Million Study Counsels Cops to Close Their Eyes

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

http://cdn.toonvectors.com/images/35/22673/toonvectors-22673-460.jpg

New York City police have been advised, when dealing with irate, possibly berserk, members of the public, to take a deep breath and close their eyes ( http://nypost.com/2015/02/23/cops-instructed-to-close-eyes-during-tense-situations/ ).

This sage advice is part of a “smart policing” program to retrain members of the NYPD. We’ve warned you about liberals using the word “smart.” The program has been mandated by Sandinista wannabe Mayor “Bill de Blasio” (not his real name) and has cost New York taxpayers $35 million.

So, officer, the next time you’re confronted by a crack-head waving a knife at you, just take a deep breath and shut your pretty eyes. I’ve seen a lot of drivers do this in a tense situation on the highway, and it works wonders. It’s also great advice for surgeons, jet pilots, and professional boxers.

Government by “progressive” pea-brains–how lucky can you get?

Big Brother Still Watching… and Still Hungry

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

If you think Big Government has reached a point of satiation, when it comes to devouring individual liberty, please think again.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, an agency of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, has issued a report that calls for (I quote from the report by Free Beacon) “adoption of plant-based diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity ‘interventionists’ at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television” ( http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-america-should-adopt-plant-based-diet/ ).

Wow! A bold stroke aimed at instantly wiping out adulthood in America and reducing us all to infancy.

So, let’s see… They propose to force us to become vegetarians, depriving the human brain of much-needed protein; to take away our desserts; to have government busybodies hover over us at work to make sure we don’t sneak a Coke or a bag of Fritos; and to use our “smart” TVs to spy on us.

Gee, what are they gonna do if they decide we watch too much TV? Send us to bed early? Order us to knock off fifty pushups?

I don’t know about you, but they’ll have to pry my White Castles from my cold, dead fingers.

Now I’m pretty sure the Constitution–the law of the land, ha, ha!–does not give the federal government the power to tell us what to eat, tell us what we can’t eat, or let some nasty little douche bag of a bureaucrat order us to get off the couch and run around the block. Powers not expressly granted to the central government, says the 10th Amendment, are reserved to the states or to the people. But then who bothers with actual laws, these days?

What is it about the “progressive” mind that fills it with a burning lust to control other people and interfere with their lives? Oh, well, I guess it’s all part of that “fundamental transformation” of America that President *Batteries Not Included promised us.

Make no mistake about it, brethren: these persons are servants of Satan and they mean us harm.

 

New York to be the Next Atlantis?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

http://10awesome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/6.-atlantis1.jpg

“When in doubt, panic,” somebody once said. The Global Warming gang is panicking.

Now we are told, through the National Academy of Science, that New York and 1,700 other U.S. cities are going to be underwater by the year 2100, thanks to Global Warming–the same Global Warming that mysteriously freezes the Great Lakes and chokes Boston with mountains of snow. The story is all over the Internet. Rather than belabor material which has already been abundantly reported (just search “New York underwater by 2100” and you’ll see what I mean), we called on Dr. Horatio Pinhead, Professor of Smart Science at Baal University. Dr. Pinhead is chairman of the You’re Not Smart So Shut Up Foundation.

“If they think it’s going to be bad when New York sinks beneath the waves,” said Dr. Pinhead, “wait’ll it happens to Topeka. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

“The only way to avoid this doom, and ensure a meaningful life for every human being on the planet,” he said, “is for everyone to pay a whopping great carbon tax and go back to living like 9th-century Scottish peasants. Of course, a small ruling class, advised by scientists, will be essential. And it’s only the smart thing to provide these individuals with gigantic, opulent mansions, private jets, and kobe beef. The moment these conditions are met, we scientists promise to stop all the  bad weather. Oh–and you should stop believing in God, because God can’t do what we can do.”

We asked Dr. Pinhead if he considered it sporting to terrorize ignorant people with apocalyptic scare stories.

“We do it for a good cause, so of course it’s right to do it,” he said. “The world must be governed scientifically–by me and my friends, and by the honest politicians who fund our research, and by nice guys like George Soros. Whatever it takes to get that done, is right.”

“If you’re not a climate scientist who believes in Climate Change,” he added, “shut up. If you’re not a politician with a D after his name, shut up. Shut up and watch TV–uh, if there still is TV. If not, shut up and go to bed.”

Most Disgusting Performance by a News Toady

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Everyone’s still laughing at BS-artist Brian Williams, the TV news anchor whom we now recognize as a compulsive liar.

But it would be a huge mistake to think he was the only waste of space in the nooze business. Ever since The New York Times’ Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for serving as Joe Stalin’s one-man cheering section in the 1930s, big-time journalism in America has attracted big-time schmucks.

Before Williams could get himself out of the tar pit, a few days ago, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry conducted an alleged interview with Attorney General Eric “the Bag Man” Holder, in which she barely restrained herself from crawling into his lap and nibbling on his ear. She then embarrassed Holder by asking him to quack like a duck ( http://hotair.com/archives/2015/02/09/video-melissa-harris-perry-asked-eric-holder-to-quack-like-a-duck-in-interview/ ). Holder declined.

But when it came to fawning over Democrats, Dan Rather remains the all-time champion boot-licker. In a May 27, 1993, interview of the zipper-challenged President Bill Clinton, Rather concluded by gushing, “Mr. President, if we could be one one-hundredth as great as you and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been together in the White House, we’d take it right now and walk away winners.” ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/928641/posts )

Barf bag, anyone?

As a former hard-working newspaper reporter and editor, it makes my flesh crawl, to see the antics of these high-profile noozies.

Please do not ever, ever listen to them.

Ma, Auntie, Grandma Subject Little Boy to Fake Kidnapping

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From our People Today Are Smarter Than Ever Dept.:

A tribe of idiots in Missouri are in big trouble for arranging for a 6-year-old boy to be kidnapped and threatened with death “to teach him a lesson” about talking to strangers ( http://fox2now.com/2015/02/05/police-family-plots-to-teach-child-a-lesson-with-fake-kidnapping/ ).

The child’s mother, aunt, and grandmother were behind the bizarre scheme, with the kidnapping actually carried out by one of the aunt’s co-workers. After tying up the boy and threatening to kill him, the man locked up the child in his basement for several hours. According to police, the man was in cell phone contact with the child’s family the whole time.

It was just to teach the lad a lesson, insisted the idiots, who also insisted they’d done nothing wrong. Maybe it taught him not to talk to family members.

No mention of a father being in the picture. But now that we’re smarter than ever, we’ve made fatherless families all the rage.

You can bet your bottom dollar that every one of these apes was educated in public school and trained by our popular culture.

Imagine that poor little boy all alone in that nest of harpies.
