If you’re a scientist working for private industry, it helps to invent something useful. But if you’re a scientist trying to get funding from the government, you’re better off telling the world how horrible things are.

And once people are scared, they pay attention. They may even demand the government give you more money to solve the problem.

Usually the horrible disaster never happens. Chaos from Y2K. An epidemic of deaths from SARS or mad cow disease. Cancer from Three Mile Island. We quickly forget. We move on to the next warnings.

So here’s the funny part. As my colleague Rich Lowry has noted, liberals and Democrats tend to oppose free-trade agreements — most recently the Central America Free Trade Agreement — on the grounds that they “export American jobs” to underpaid Latin American workers. But the same people generally favor importing underpaid Latin American workers into the United States to take many of the same jobs. One hand giveth, the other taketh away. The cynicism in all of this is fairly breathtaking. It seems that what many liberals prefer is not preserving American jobs or bringing more undocumented workers, but importing undocumented Democrats.

The libs have been pegged again.

Asute comment? Let me see if I have this right. You were a bit vague with the details, but I’ll take a wild guess:

Bush went to war with Iraq to exploit the fears of Americans (who would never have supported him if he just stuck with a heavy domestic agenda like Clinton), and the war raised a lot of money for…Halliburton?

You and JAPOI hardly constitute everyone. The ironic thing is that you proved the point that Stossel was trying to make and that Andy found and posted the article for. That point being the use of any message either through lobbying or the press to get your way whether or not you have real evidence for that message

The message from Democrats and the press has been that President Bush simply uses unfounded fear to get his way, but in every case there has been empirical evidence that he may have been right. As we saw with 9/11 sometimes you have to act in advance of definitive proof or you wind up with an unthinkable disaster. With Saddam there was certainly evidence of use of WMD and goals of empire.

Once again you become the flock and pass along the latest message from your puppetmasters. Good work pointing out the truth behind Stossels article!

More National Review:

In 2003, Congress passed the Leadership Act, which set up the president’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and promised to spend $15 billion over five years to fights AIDS. PEPFAR has 15 focus countries, primarily in Africa, and it gave control over spending to a global AIDS coordinator (Randall Tobias, now confirmed as administrator of USAID). Congress endorsed the “ABC” approach (“Abstain, Be faithful, or use Condoms, in order of priority”) that has been so successful in reducing Uganda’s AIDS epidemic. Knowing that something drastic had to change to reverse the course of the disease, the law also gave specific targets for certain types of interventions. Notably, Congress set a goal that 55 percent of funding should be used for treatment and 20 percent for prevention activities. In August 2005, to comply with the law, the coordinator directed country teams to dedicate at least 50 percent of the prevention funding to sexual-transmission-prevention activities and 66 percent of that amount to A and B activities (for convenience, call these “abstinence-until-marriage” (AUM or AB) programs).

Which was also far more successful then the previous administrations global AIDS reduction plan which was to grope interns in the oval office and send a message to the world that blow-jobs aren’t sex.

The global warming argument you make is specious at best and once again proves Stossels point. (Are you working as a stooge for him?) There may be evidence of a slight warming pattern, but the scare mongers like Algore and maybe DavidU want to pin this all on us as to the cause. It’s entirely possible that this is a normal shifting of our environment.

The same people that are demanding that we do something to manipulate climatic conditions tend to be the very same people that believe wholly on the theory of evolution. If you believe that all advancements come through evolution why would you want to keep conditions from changing thereby stopping the process?

[The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true.

A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq — not made public until now — had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president’s statement.

The three-page field report and a 122-page final report three weeks later were stamped “secret” and shelved. Meanwhile, for nearly a year, administration and intelligence officials continued to publicly assert that the trailers were weapons factories.](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/11/AR2006041101888_pf.html)

President Bush’s biggest problem is the perception that he’s not a leader. He’s lost the fight over almost every big issue he’s tackled.

Even the Washington Post is offering advice.

Meanwhile, the Hillary machine keeps rolling…

“Corning Inc., one of upstate New York’s largest and oldest employers, has supported Republican candidates for so long that its chairman once joked that it had not raised money for a Democrat since 1812.”

“But since Hillary Rodham Clinton was elected to the Senate in 2000, Corning and its mainly Republican executives have become one of her largest sources of campaign contributions.”

More on Junk Science, Global Warming and why I detest Al Gore:

It isn’t just that the alarmists are trumpeting model results that we know must be wrong. It is that they are trumpeting catastrophes that couldn’t happen even if the models were right as justifying costly policies to try to prevent global warming…

So how is it that we don’t have more scientists speaking up about this junk science? It’s my belief that many scientists have been cowed not merely by money but by fear.

In 1992, (Al Gore) ran two congressional hearings during which he tried to bully dissenting scientists, including myself, into changing our views and supporting his climate alarmism. Nor did the scientific community complain when Mr. Gore, as vice president, tried to enlist Ted Koppel in a witch hunt to discredit anti-alarmist scientists—a request that Mr. Koppel deemed publicly inappropriate

The Democrats had everything going for them in this election. They had a corrupt felon-incumbent, they had low turnout, they had a well-financed challenger, and they had a divided Republican field. They had a district that has, in the last 10 years, skewed Republican less and less. And they only managed to get about 8% more of the vote when they needed 14% more. In 2004, Busby pulled in 36%. This time around she won 43.9%.

By Little Pinko Angels, So Innocent, So Sweet

April 12, 2006 04:57 PM | Link to this

Oh now this is sweet:

From the other side, Markos “Kos” Moulitsas, noting that turnout was low despite “netroots” efforts on Busby’s behalf, strikes a similar theme:

The Democratic leadership thinks that the GOP implosion will ipso facto translate to Democratic victories in November. But the electorate is universally disenchanted with politics.

The GOP has proven, time and time again, that it is incapable of governing. But Democrats have not shown they are any different. They do not paint any bright lines between them and us. And they do nothing to motivate the Democratic base to turn out and vote.

My sense of pessimism for November’s elections only gets deeper the more elections show lower and lower turnout.

So should your’s, moonbats. Hey, look at the bright side, you can use this opportunity to surrender.

By Little Pinko Angels, So Innocent, So Sweet

April 12, 2006 04:59 PM | Link to this

The refrain that Republicans are “incompetent,” or, as Kos puts it, that they “are incapable of governing,” is also problematic for the Democrats, for a couple of reasons. First, the constant repetition of it suggests that it probably isn’t true. If the Bush administration were manifestly incompetent, it would hardly be necessary to say so at all, much less to shriek about it 24/7. The simple-minded and shrill cries of “Incompetence!” seem designed to drown out reflection about the difficulty of the challenges the country has faced during the past five years, from 9/11 to Iraq to Katrina.

Looks like that European pinko Ahh-nuld believes the “junk science”.

*Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called for a market-based approach to reducing industrial emissions of “greenhouse” gases, endorsing a plan to combat global warming that faces opposition from business and Republican leaders. (About the only green thing they care about is MONEY!)

Speaking Tuesday at a climate change summit at San Francisco City Hall, Schwarzenegger said he supported creating financial incentives to curb the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and requiring companies to report their emissions.* (OH NO! More government control!!!) But at least there’s one GOP leader with some commonm-freakin-sense on this issue.

More junk science from some shadowy organization called the US EPA:

According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earth’s surface temperature has risen by about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, with accelerated warming during the past two decades. There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. Human activities have altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases – primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The heat-trapping property of these gases is undisputed although uncertainties exist about exactly how earth’s climate responds to them.

Scientists know for certain that human activities are changing the composition of Earth’s atmosphere. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere since pre-industrial times have been well documented. There is no doubt this atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is largely the result of human activities.

Hi LUCY. Nice to see you. You asked me what we should do about the immigration situation. Now there’s a question! Naturally I’d love to export a bunch of native-born Mercuns, but that’s unlikely. Obviously I have my own personal opinions but shan’t display them here. A heavy subject. This is the only blog I ever visit as I lack time and interest for such. Came upon it a tad accidentally in that the AJC is 1 of 5 newspapers I browse daily, thus was here when Michael L began it. I’m sure you’ve well noticed that the place is choked to the gills with unfortunates who are deeply steeped in a political dogma which has long been recognized as a leading source of stupidity, repressiveness, hatred, bitterness, envy, intolerance and so much more. In addition, many contributors herein are simply socially dysfunctional beings, beyond redemption. When I do visit here I have learned to skim and eliminate fully 65% of the chronic posters - as I’ve seen their wasteful acts before. It is not possible to entertain anything of an intellectual or even reasonable nature w this group. Of late I’ve noticed a few pleasant & bright new posters. They’re worth a look. So to you and to them, plus anyone else who might care to offer something of real substance, I’ll give it one more shot here.

Immigration. I’ve lived in several large U.S. cities. Some of them great - a couple quite dismal. Spent several years working/living in the Pacific Rim. Cannot accurately speak right now to the nature of what’s currently taking place immigration-wise in other cities in the U.S. Short on time. So allow me to quickly present the condition of “MY” city. And ask for some input from you - and others who may care and are serious. Loud mouthed punks need not apply - you couldn’t possibly compete.

Here in Paradise we have the following: rounding off numbers from the 2004 census count. In the county in which I reside. 480,000 Caucasions. 450,000 Blacks/African Americans. 1,880,000 Hispanics. Everyone is placed within 1 of 3 categories: 1)Hispanic; 2)African American; 3)Non-Hispanic. That’s it. This applies to all official matters of which you might consider. Voting registration. Driver’s license. CCW permit - everything. “Caucasion” is not used. I will only say here that it is all very…”strange.” Now it’s your turn. So I ask, What is it like where you live? Similar? What do you think re the above stated local facts? What are your (serious) thoughts re this subject and a feasable solution? OK.

Migrants Rush to Border Hoping for Passage

NOGALES, Mexico (AP) - At a shelter overflowing with migrants airing their blistered feet, Francisco Ramirez nursed muscles sore from trekking through the Arizona desert - a trip that failed when his wife did not have the strength to go on.

He said the couple would rest for a few days, then try again, a plan echoed by dozens reclining on rickety bunk beds and carpets tossed on the floor after risking violent bandits and the harsh desert in unsuccessful attempts to get into the United States.

The shelter’s manager, Francisco Loureiro, said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship.
