Health Care Vote Puts Nelson 30 Points Down in Reelection Bid - Yahoo! News

Health Care Vote Puts Nelson 30 Points Down in Reelection Bid - Yahoo! News: "If Governor Dave Heineman challenges Nelson for the Senate job, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows the Republican would get 61% of the vote while Nelson would get just 30%. Nelson was reelected to a second Senate term in 2006 with 64% of the vote."

Comments:
Let me think ... a senator who believes so strongly in the health care bill and is so dedicated to the public's benefit that he would sacrifice himself for the good of mankind?

Would you care to buy a bridge?

Or ...

A senator who is deaf to public wishes, self absorbed in his own greed, and too cowardly to oppose the extreme leftist leadership?

Now we are on to something.

Where's the liquid courage? This could explain the decision making process. At the very least he is a complete bore.

Carter’s apologies from ‘a troubled man’ | PID News

The leader of a Messianic Jewish ministry believes politics, not a genuine change of heart, was the motivation behind former President Jimmy Carter’s recent apology to the Jewish people for his anti-Semitic stances over the years.

The former president recently offered the Jewish community an apology for any of his “words and deeds” that may have upset them. He wrote in an open letter to the Jewish community last week that he hopes the new year will bring peace between Israel and its neighbors. “We must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel,” he stated.

Comments: One must wonder what Mr. Carter has up his sleeve. Probably it is only his never ending appeal for attention.

VIEIRA: Yeah there's a love story and also there's a message about, you know, greed and when people want a lot of things, imperialism. All of that.

CAMERON: And how that tends to destroy the environment and so on. And here they are doing the same thing on another pristine planet that we've done here on earth. So it's a way, sort of looking back at ourselves from this other world and seeing what we're doing here.

Comments: Don’t we ever tire of this leftist crap? Companies are always greedy, evil and stupid and they always destroy nature. Leftist, while enjoying the privileges of evil Capitalism, are the only entities concerned about “the planet”. I don’t think I’ll bother.

Leftist Utopias have atrocious track records on ecology. How about a good movie with that theme? Oh, let’s not expose our own hypocrisy!

First Lady requires more than twenty attendants

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michele are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:

Franklin Graham: 'True Islam cannot be practiced in this country'

Evangelical Christian leader Franklin Graham challenged President Obama’s statement in Norway that Islam is a “great religion” and said Islam is “violent” and cannot be practiced in the United States.

Franklin Graham: 'True Islam cannot be practiced in this country'

Comments: Can we still say that in public? Hats off to a brave and logical Mr. Graham.

Global Government (Is that one world government - new world order?)

The dangerous idea that the democratic accountability of national governments should simply be dispensed with in favour of "global agreements" reached after closed negotiations between world leaders never, so far as I recall, entered into the arena of public discussion. Except in the United States, where it became a very contentious talking point, the US still holding firmly to the 18th-century idea that power should lie with the will of the people.

Nor was much consideration given to the logical conclusion of all this grandiose talk of global consensus as unquestionably desirable: if there was no popular choice about approving supranational "legally binding agreements", what would happen to dissenters who did not accept their premises (on climate change, for example) when there was no possibility of fleeing to another country in protest? Was this to be regarded as the emergence of world government? And would it have powers of policing and enforcement that would supersede the authority of elected national governments?

There'll be nowhere to run from the new world government - Telegraph

Comments: Lest you question the current drifting, rushing, falling into one world government, the above article is illuminating. As a Christian who interprets the Bible as predicting some sort of one world government during end times, I hear many object because they can not fathom any way one leader can control everything. I’m not certain we need one leader. Why can’t we have a one world “global” philosophy or mind set. Would such a system satisfy Biblical prophecy? I think so. Even the coming “Anti-Christ” will be opposed and attacked by the kings of the East and the North. We may be missing the Biblical point by looking for one world leader.

Do you really want these people deciding things for you and your grandchildren?

History of climate gets 'erased' online

A new report reveals a British scientist and Wikipedia administrator rewrote climate history, editing more than 5,000 unique articles in the online encyclopedia to cover traces of a medieval warming period – something Climategate scientists saw as a major roadblock in the effort to spread the global warming message.

History of climate gets 'erased' online

Comments: "Scientists" with agendas can be especially effective politically amidst a gullible and science worshiping public. Editing 5,000 Wikipedia unique articles cries fanaticism. We have a global warming jihad.

When was the sun Biblically created?

Has Andromeda Contacted You Lately?

Caveat:
Unless you have a strong Biblical understanding I would suggest you avoid this stuff.

Post Credit: disclosure.tv

My first thought is we need a pole:
Alex Collier ...
1. ... is completely delusional.
2. ... has regular conversations with his Andromedan friends.
3. ... should write movie scripts and make millions.
4. ... has serious demon/fallen angel issues.

Listening with a "good story" mindset, the above is entertaining. The lack of facts and proof in this presentation is obvious. Maybe Mr. Collier has previously laid factual groundwork. My guess is no but I'll look around.

Is this detail factual:
* Cassini project classified, because of all the mothership activity filmed in Saturn system.
* a 1.5 mln miles off the South pole a 20 mile craft that is sat in a stationary. NASA and other organizations telescopes have been monitoring it for 8 months, they watch its trajectory to us. It is now
stationary and are craft going in and out of this 20-mile structure.
* very large planetary structure coming in 18 degrees RA of Neptune's orbit. it should be visible sometimes next year.

Let's all keep a look out.

What I do find interesting is the Holographic power structure discussion. Some of us believe this whole alien thing is Luciferian (if something really is happening). Holographic is a great description of how the demons/fallen-angels/other-dimensional-beings would influence earthly dimensions. This is why nailing down a single power group is so difficult.

Also interesting is Mr. Collier's prognostications are eerily similar to Biblical prophecies on world government. So many of the various groups futuristic themes have commonalities. Maybe delusional people lack creativity or maybe it lends credibility.

If one does not believe in other dimensional beings then he has two choices, delusional or extra terrestrial. Christians believe in other dimensional beings, they simply prefer not to think about it as dimensional. God, Satan, demons, angels are all other dimensional beings. I suppose Christians could believe heaven is in our 4 dimensional plane but out in space somewhere and Jesus walked through walls by magic. And angels appear, how exactly? Other dimensional is a superior explanation I think. Evil, deceptive, other dimensional beings would then explain Mr. Collier's friends from a Christian point of view.

Why are these "aliens" so obsessed with delivering messages. To paraphrase someone, "Angels are messengers (Biblical definition). That is how they are made and they can't help it." Of course a fallen angel's message need not be truthful and one would suspect they lack the entire picture as opposed to God's knowledge of things. Interesting take I thought.

To what end? Notice that Mr. Collier is not so much against one world government. He views the entities in power as evil, as opposed to the more benevolent Andromedans, whom I assume he would welcome as rulers. The typical alien message is consistent in several areas, just off the top of my head:
.Man is not sinful.
.Some aliens are on our side and want to help us.
.We are ruining our planet.
.Christians are misled and Jesus (though a good guy) is not a savior.
.We seeded your planet with life ages ago.
.Humans can achieve a higher plane of existence through self effort.
.Reincarnation

I'm sure there are other commonalities but their opposition to Judeo/Christian theology is striking. Others who claim regular communication from E.T.'s follow similar threads and fits neatly into Eastern Mysticism. Oprah is happy. It is all so Cosmic Conscious. Gotta love the meditation exercise at the end and yes, I lasted to the end.

Here is a link to a plethora of these types of people.
Caveat:
Unless you have a strong Biblical understanding I would suggest you avoid this stuff.

A Global Warming Discussion - Lord Monckton


http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/

Global sea ice 1979 to present.
The debate is over?

Was that "Green Peace" or "Red Peace"?


OH, the brilliance.


Comments credit = http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=529_1258575334
So egregious was his departure from reality that the following clip should be mandatory viewing for all his fans in the media who seem to be just as scientifically-challenged
On Tuesday, National Review's John Derbyshire noted:

The geothermal gradient is usually quoted as 25-50 degrees Celsius per mile of depth in normal terrain (not, e.g., in the crater of Kilauea). Two kilometers down, therefore, (that's a mile and a quarter if you're not as science-y as Al) you'll have an average gain of 30-60 degrees - exploitable for things like home heating, though not hot enough to make a nice pot of tea. The temperature at the earth's core, 4,000 miles down, is usually quoted as 5,000 degrees Celsius, though these guys claim it's much less, while some contrarian geophysicists have posted claims up to 9,000 degrees. The temperature at the surface of the Sun is around 6,000 degrees Celsius, while at the center, where nuclear fusion is going on bigtime, things get up over 10 million degrees.

If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was "several million degrees," we'd be a star.

The physics and astronomy website Physlink also contests Gore's absurd claim:

It is approximately 4000°C at the centre of the Earth. To put this in context:

1. The centre of the Sun is approximately 15 million°C
2. The surface of the Sun is 5500°C
3. Iron melts at 1535°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
4. Water boils at 100°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
5. Human skin is comfortable with temperatures up to about 60°C
6. The highest temperature recorded on the Earth's surface is 58°C (Libya 1922)

It is not possible to directly measure the temperature at the centre of the Earth and four thousand degrees is nothing more than our most well-established piece of guesswork to date. Most modern calculations rely on the fact that we believe the inner core to be made up of iron and nickel that is just about at melting point. It is under a lot of pressure, which prevents it from melting, even at such high temperatures. There is also a lot of evidence regarding how the outer core of the Earth convects and that helps to establish the temperature. However, recently British scientists have suggested that the temperature of the Earth's core may in fact be as high as the surface of the Sun, so the question is still open.

As such, whether it's 4,000 or 6,000 degrees, Gore's claim of "several million" is absurdly preposterous and not based on ANY scientific fact.

The Increasingly Left ‘Law and Order’

Well, I think I’ve been fairly calm and forgiving of Law and Order for about fifteen years. Living outside of the U.S. has certainly helped in more ways than one. Out of sight, out of mind. Law and Order has, for years, been just a press of the remote away from non-existence.

However, recent events have Law and Order just begging for my reassessment. I hardly expected my old television series to be the clown act that leads the American viewing audience into an increasingly predictable pile of hard left propaganda.

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » The Increasingly Left ‘Law and Order’

Comments: My sentiments exactly. I don't watch Law and Order anymore. If I want leftist propaganda, I will watch major network news or CNN, also off my list of preferences. Could I tolerate diversity? Yes. But hard line, never wavering propaganda, no thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Moriarity, for the scoop on what contaminates L&O.

Canada freezes as snow storm strands thousands

Meanwhile, western Canada is in the grip of a cold snap with temperatures plummeting anywhere from -40 to -50 degrees Celsius.

Canada freezes as snow storm strands thousands - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Comments: Don't be one of those people who find any significance in these cold temps in relationship to global warming. We must trust the official data. Now, is that the deleted data, corrected data or the enhanced data? We should not question any of the data, just trust Al (the debate is over) Gore.

Houston biggest US city to elect openly gay mayor

HOUSTON (AP) - Houston became the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor, with voters handing a solid victory to City Controller Annise Parker after a hotly contested runoff.

Parker defeated former city attorney Gene Locke with 53.6 percent of the vote Saturday in a race that had a turnout of only 16.5 percent.

"This election has changed the world for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Just as it is about transforming the lives of all Houstonians for the better, and that's what my administration will be about," Parker told supporters after Locke conceded defeat.

My Way News - Houston biggest US city to elect openly gay mayor

Comments: For those who want real change, this is good news. Can you imagine a world without leftist control of our government? Peace and glad tidings to all (note the red and green, Christmasy chart lines – quite festive). May the good Lord give us a true conservative leader with courage and principal. First we need some congress members with common sense … this may be reaching.

Bing Cash Back

An odd discount system, Bing Cash Back is. Once you click the "cash back" icon and enter a retailer's store there is no indication assuring you of cash back awards. You must take things entirely on faith. Such was the case with my second cash back purchase. Wal-Mart has apparently stiffed me. Luckily it was a small purchase but my confidence is slipping further.

Use Internet Explorer if doing Cash Back. (If I ever do use it again.)

Radio Stations Streaming on the Internet

Streaming Radio Guide
Radio Stations Streaming on the Internet

Radio Stations Streaming on the Internet

Here is a great guide for radio streaming content. For instance if you go to News/Talk the programs running now will be shown. No transposing your time zone with theirs or going from site to site checking who is on. Or just type a search for your favorite program.

Why would I want this? Sometimes I feel like listening to Glenn Beck, sometimes Michael Medved, Minnesota Public Radio (using my tax dollars). I never ever want to listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger. I want to be in control.

Your Daily Koran Reading

 

The Blessed Holy Trinity: Sura 4.171 O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.

The Lord Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God: Sura 9.30 And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

The Lord Jesus Died on the Cross: Sura 4.157 And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa [Jesus] son of Marium, the apostle of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure

The Lord rose from the dead: (158) Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.

My favorite is “may Allah destroy them”.
