Liberal Lies – Pretenting to be U.S. Chamber of Commerce?

This is almost unbelievable.  A left-wing advocacy group calls a press conference pretending to be the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, claiming that the Chamber will now support climate change legislation.  When an actual representative of the Chamber arrives and exposes the phonies, the gig is up.  This is a must watch… what a joke!

I love how the phony, who introduced himself as “Hingo Sembra,” refuses to give his real name and has the gall to claim that, “the statements of late that the Chamber has made in regard to, uh, climate science are frankly embarrassing for those of us who truly represent it.”

Claiming to “truly represent” climate science only moments after falsely claiming to truly represent the U.S. Chamber of Commerce… now that’s funny!  “Sembra” is actually a member of the Yes Men, an extremist group that believes big corporations are “criminals.”

What’s not funny (but is predicatable), is that several gullible mainstream media outlets bought it and reported it!

The BBC Now Raising Questions About Global Warming

True believers must be at least a little discouraged to see that even the BBC has begun to question the idea that humans are responsible for changes in temperature due primarily to their uses of carbon-based fuels and the internal combustion engine.

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

Congress better act quickly if they want to pass the Cap-and-Tax Bill, before any other scientists begin to raise questions about the “facts.”

Obama Administration Not Sure if U.S. Commander in Afghanistan is ‘Ready’, May Be ‘Naive’ or Just ‘An Upstart’

Incredible: 

According to sources close to the administration, Gen McChrystal shocked and angered presidential advisers with the bluntness of a speech given in London last week.

The next day he was summoned to an awkward 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen, where the president had arrived to tout Chicago’s unsuccessful Olympic bid.

And why was the Obama Administration so upset?

In London, Gen McChrystal, who heads the 68,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well as the 100,000 Nato forces, flatly rejected proposals to switch to a strategy more reliant on drone missile strikes and special forces operations against al-Qaeda.

He told the Institute of International and Strategic Studies that the formula, which is favoured by Vice-President Joe Biden, would lead to “Chaos-istan”.

When asked whether he would support it, he said: “The short answer is: No.”

He went on to say: “Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support….”

Gen McChrystal delivered a report on Afghanistan requested by the president on Aug 31, but Mr Obama held only his second “principals meeting” on the issue last week.

He will hold at least one more this week, but a decision on how far to follow Gen McChrystal’s recommendation to send 40,000 more US troops will not be made for several weeks.

And the Administration’s perception of why McChrystal would make such comments:

An adviser to the administration said: “People aren’t sure whether McChrystal is being naïve or an upstart. To my mind he doesn’t seem ready for this Washington hard-ball and is just speaking his mind too plainly.”

Yes, please continue to tell the military how to operate, since Washington obviously understands the situation far better than anyone actually working in Afghanistan; just like Iraq, right?

July 20, 2007:  

 ”Here’s what we know. The surge has not worked.”

September 4, 2008 :  

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated” … “It’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”

Tears from Speaker Pelosi As She Warns of “Violence” as a Result of Rhetoric

Speaker Pelosi has finally taken the initiative in warning the American people of the corporate backed, hate-filled mobs that are responsible for forcing the legislative process to come to a screeching halt.

She’s right- just look at these astroturf domestic terrorists- I’m fairly certain that elderly lady with the American flag purse is actually concealing

As Our Great Leaderthe Speaker alluded to, perhaps Americans that “aren’t as balanced” should be held responsible for their “rhetoric.”  I too am afraid Madame Speaker; I too am afraid.

Predictable Specter Flips on Card Check

When Senator Arlen Specter (D-Penn) changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, I told you it would just be a matter of time before he flipped to support the immoral Card Check Bill.  After all, he’ll need the support of labor unions in order to win as a Democrat next year.  Well, the time to bow to their demands has come, and he told the AFL-CIO convention yesterday that he will support the legislation, despite killing the legislation earlier this year.

To read, in the words of Democrats, why this legislation is so dangerous, please click here!!!

Pro-Life Activist Murdered Near School

When late-term abortionist George Tiller was murdered earlier this year, President Obama rightly and immediately condemned the shooting, saying that our differences “cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.”  He then mobilized federal authorities to protect other abortion clinics from similar attacks.

Now fast forward to this morning, outside of a school in Michigan.  A pro-life activist has been shot and killed while protesting the grotesque practices of abortionists.  I wonder if we’ll hear from the President (or even anyone in the media for that matter) on this one.  I wonder if he’ll mobilize federal authorities to protect other pro-life activists and organizations.

I wouldn’t bet on it.  He still hasn’t even condemned the acts of a muslim extremist who who shot two military recruiters in Arkansas, killing one, just days after Tiller was gunned down.  He didn’t utter a word then… I doubt we’ll hear from him now either…

Republican Health Care Plan

While not in the media, the Republicans do in fact have proposals on cutting costs and increasing access to health care for all Americans.  The only difference between HR 3200 (the Democrat’s plan) and HR 3400 (the Republican’s plan) is that HR 3400 places patients first and actually reduces costs- without creating yet another government bureaucracy.

The Republican Plan- HR3400

The Democrat’s Plan- HR 3200

Marine Vet Takes ‘Brown Shirt’ Congressman to Task

This is a must-see video.  Disabled Marine veteran David Hendrick takes Congressman Brian Baird (D-Wash) to task.  For a little background, Baird is the guy who accused healthcare protesters of using “brown shirt” (Nazi) tactics.  Semper Fi!
