More people waking up to the Progressive one-party reality, with whom there can be no compromise. Fascism can only be defeated by a Libertarian/Constitutional Party and that is not the Republican Party.
According to a Gallup poll released today, for the first time a majority of Republicans think that the U.S. needs a third political party.
Fifty-two percent of Republicans, and an even stronger number of Tea Party supporters, support the creation of a major, third political party, underscoring the occasional tensions between grassroots conservatives and the GOP establishment.

A wolf in sheep’s clothing. The very dangerously bigoted guy who is selling himself as a pragmatic philosopher. I don’t think he sees his own bigotry. There’s something about him that suggests that, one night, he’ll say something that will cost him his career in television.
I guess Olbermann had the right idea, just the wrong host. In retrospect, this is just more evidence that if you take everything Olbermann says and then flip it 180 degrees, you find the truth.
Let me try to summarize the last five days:
Day 1: Crazy person murders people in Tucson.
Day 1 + 1 minute: Some in the media begin to blame Sarah Palin and demand that she responds.
Day 2: It begins to look like the shooter had nothing to do with Palin. Media still demands Palin respond.
Day 3: Shooter looking to be more insane than ideological. Media still can’t believe that Palin hasn’t responded to something she has nothing to do with.
Day 4: Shooter could care less about politics. Where is Palin? Why won’t she respond?
Day 5: Palin responds via video. Story on NBC Nightly News trots out her “target map” and ties it to Gifford, then shifts to focus on two words of her eight minute video by interviewing people who say she’s anti-Semitic and wondering what this will do for her chances in 2012.

President Barack Obama seems to be disconnected from voters, observes Democratic pollster Mark Penn. So what’s the best way to solve this political problem? According to Penn, Obama needs another Oklahoma City bombing so he can connect with voters like President Bill Clinton did.

This is the brilliance of a global warming alarmist and their sense of scale. She thinks she can make her case by expressing the entirety of humanity and all of our industry as speck of chalk dust which she unwittingly does, believing the AGW loons will be too stupid realize this device. It reminds me of the images we see deploring our littering of space with our satellites. Yet these images are deceptive because it looks the earth is covered with satellites, yet they would all fit inside a football stadium.
She also would like us to overlook everything we know about nature in her little “thought(less) experiment”. For example, the ocean as a sink and source for natural CO2 and the fact that natural fluctuations of CO2 dwarf the entirety of all anthropogenically produced CO2.
Here is a better thought experiment:
If the smartest climatologist in the world knew 100 variables, each one to an accuracy of 99 percent, the probability of a correct predictable model on climate change would be 36.6 percent. Remember, that is IF a) the scientist knew ALL the variables, b) knew all the feedback loops, c) knew all the variables of the feedback loops to an accuracy of 99 %.
Let’s forget the inconvenient possibility that there are perhaps thousands of variables, many unknown. Those known could not muster an accuracy anywhere near 99% for each variable.
One more thing..90% of greenhouse gas is ocean condensation and a vast majority of CO2 in the atmosphere occurred naturally. Human contribution to the Greenhouse is 0.02%. One could erase the fact that mankind ever existed and the effect would be negligible.
Here’s a thought experiment for you. Tie a piece of chalk to one end of a string. Stand next to a blackboard, place your foot on the free end of the string and draw an arc on the board with a radius of about 4 feet. (Maybe you can borrow Glenn Beck’s blackboard, if you are unable to visualise it.) Your foot represents the center of the earth. The arc represents the surface of the earth. Over 99% of the mass of the Earth’s atmosphere is contained in two layers: the troposphere and the stratosphere. Most of the earth’s atmosphere (80 to 90%) is found in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer where we live. This layer, where the earth’s weather occurs, is within about 12 km (7 miles) of the earth’s surface. The distance from the center of the earth to its surface equals about 4,000 miles. The scale of the blackboard drawing is about 1 foot = 1,000 miles (1610 km). So, on this scale, seven miles of atmosphere, is a little less than 1/8th of an inch (about as thick as the chalk line).

Repackage the failed product and try again.
First they swapped out “terrorism” in favor of “man-caused disasters,“ and ”War on Terror“ became an ”overseas contingency operation” overnight.
Now the Obama White House is suggesting a new public lexicon for “global warming.” According to Obama science czar John Holdren, “global warming” oversimplifies the issue of climate change and doesn’t fully convey just how dangerous it really is. Instead of “global warming,“ Holdren suggested using the term ”global climate disruption” in a speech he delivered in Oslo last week.
