But yet everyday the Doom and Gloom still goes to press, regardless of the trees being ripped from the Earth for the paper, the diesel fuel being burned to transport that paper, the vast amount of electricity required to print this crying rag and house an entire building full of whining pinko “reporters,” the gasoline wasted and smog produced to deliver this left wing propaganda to your doorstep and the overcrowded landfill space heaping with paper waste.

So do the libs lead by example or do they blame you for their fake problems?

If it bothers you so damn much, Urinal, then why not close up shop, stop wasting all of this energy and producing the pollution that you do, put your money where your mealy little mouth is.

~~~~~

If there are any doubts about who is obstructing the energy industry and keeping the prices high, look no further than the Gloom and Doom:

{{{{Environmentalists nationwide are celebrating Monday’s Fulton County Superior Court decision they say will make it harder —- if not impossible —- to build new coal plants.-Urinal}}}}

Now they can MoveOn to obstructing nuclear energy, drilling for oil, gasoline refineries.

What you pay at the gas pump is self inflicted and the easiest way to ease the pain: Boot the liberals out of government.

{{{{Are Obamaland followers hostile to oil? Do they hate SUVs? Do they think you have no right to heat or cool your own home beyond what they consider politically correct? Do they think you should pay $5 — or $6 or $7 or $8 or more — for gas at the pump to ensure you conform to the Obamaland world-view? Yes, they do think all of this and their Obamaland answer is inevitable. They will “use the political process” to stop drilling off shore in its tracks. So too with stopping the use of oil shale or ANWR or anything else that even hints at allowing average Americans their basic freedom to drive whatever vehicle wherever they damn well please whenever they damn well please. In Obamaland it is not only perfectly acceptable, it is gospel from the secular bible that they must use the political process to stop refineries from being built, to keep nuclear power plants from being built, to keep coal from being burned. Use the political process to forcibly mandate the temperature inside every single American home. As a matter of fact, why not just go all the way and nationalize the oil companies —

“I, moonbat POS surrender monkey, accuse you, McBushie, of being imprisoned and viscously tortured for 5 years in service to your country.”

“How dare you.”

“What do you have to say for yourself, Patriot?”

~~~~~

If socialism is a “utopia” where all citizens work towards the common good of the government, how can government lay them off and where will they send them to if private industry has been forbidden?

{{{{ATLANTA BUDGET: Fire Rescue cutbacks will hurt city-Urinal/DNC}}}}

“Comrade, do not see this tragedy of your house burning slam to the ground as a setback, you have made a great sacrifice for the Great and Bountiful Giver of Government Benefits.”

“Now we can afford to give you one turnip a day to eat.”

“Better hope we don’t run out of turnips because then we will have to exterminate you, bwa.”

“All Hail our Great and Glorious Leader Obambi, who has graciously allowed you to live for another day, despite the havoc you wreak on the Earth when you defecate and breathe, you scumbag.”

Clark won’t back down………………… There are many important issues in this Presidential election, clearly one of the most important issues is national security and keeping the American people safe. In my opinion, protecting the American people is the most important duty of our next President. I have made comments in the past about John McCain’s service and I want to reiterate them in order be crystal clear. As I have said before I honor John McCain’s service as a prisoner of war and a Vietnam Veteran. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in Armed Forces as a prisoner of war. I would never dishonor the service of someone who chose to wear the uniform for our nation. John McCain is running his campaign on his experience and how his experience would benefit him and our nation as President. That experience shows courage and commitment to our country - but it doesn’t include executive experience wrestling with national policy or go-to-war decisions. And in this area his judgment has been flawed - he not only supported going into a war we didn’t have to fight in Iraq, but has time and again undervalued other, non-military elements of national power that must be used effectively to protect America But as an American and former military officer I will not back down if I believe someone doesn’t have sound judgment when it comes to our nation’s most critical issues.

AND

The McCain camp, sensing an opportunity, complained that Clark had “attacked John McCain’s military service record.” Of course, Clark had done nothing of the kind. He had questioned the relevance of McCain’s combat experience as a qualification to be president of the United States. This is a distinction that you’d expect any reasonably intelligent nine-year old to be able to grasp.

OF COURSE ALL THE REASONABLY INTELLIGENT MEMBERS OF THE GOP HAVE ALREADY ABANDONED THE PARTY!

Invade the wrong friggin’ country using made up evidence so that he can plunder its natural resources. ………………..IV. Make it even EASIER for the Terra-ists to Attack us again by making More of Them ……………..V. Build a Great Big Government Welfare Pig Trough and invite all his friends to feed at it under guise of helping the War Effort ……………VI. Cripple our intelligence agency and its ability to spy on our enemies by outing covert agents and by attacking them in the press …………….VII. Break the law in every way possible, calling the Constitution just a piece of paper, while proclaiming that Article II of the Constitution gives him the right to do so. ………………..VIII. Call the Deaths of over 3000 innocent Americans in the World Trade Center Attacks a “Trifecta” ……………….IX. Sell souvenir photos of himself associated with the terra attack in an effort to raise campaign funds ………………….X. Tell anyone or have a surrogate tell anyone or even think that another terra attack on U.S. soil would really make his job a lot easier.

{{{{The Arctic ice cap may be thinning, but the extent of Antarctic sea ice has been expanding for years. At least as of February, last winter was the Northern Hemisphere’s coldest in decades. In May, German climate modelers reported in the journal Nature that global warming is due for a decade-long vacation. But be not not-afraid, added the modelers: The inexorable march to apocalypse resumes in 2020.}}}}

{{{{The first is as a vehicle of ideological convenience. Socialism may have failed as an economic theory, but global warming alarmism, with its dire warnings about the consequences of industry and consumerism, is equally a rebuke to capitalism.

It’s curious that in all the bloviating (so far) about this cartoon, no one has yet pointed out that there are no penguins at the North Pole! Penguins are confined entirely to the Southern Hemisphere, with one species living as far north as the Galapagos.

However valid the point about global warming - and the evidence is pretty good - Luckovich doesn’t do much for his credibility by making such an obvious mistake of natural history.

Rupert Murdoch’s black sheepToday, even oil tycoons and financial corporations are working to address climate change, but the Wall Street Journal still denies that the problem exists……..Denialists spoon feed content to the Journal’s editorial pages regularly, and it’s a safe bet the Journal will lend plenty of its column inches to attendees of the denialist conference, despite the intellectually dishonest and suspect nature of the entire enterprise……….Most immediately, this poses a challenge to the NewsCorp brand, which is now defined in part by its commitment to becoming a carbon neutral company by 2010. Murdoch himself has said: “Climate change poses clear catastrophic threats.” The Journal likes to call people who voice such opinions “global warmists” and “alarmists”. None of its editorial writers has yet been imprudent enough to slap the label on Father Murdoch, and so far he has been tolerant of the wayward behaviour of his most recently adopted children………Let’s hope it isn’t too much longer before Murdoch’s patience wears thin. His fiduciary duty to NewsCorp shareholders will require it. Gigot-ism is out of step with history and in financial terms creates fiduciary exposure to maximum risk and loss. The rest of the civilised world is progressing toward solutions to global warming and after the next elections even the United States is certain to join the effort. Continued adherence to denialism - and all the intellectual dishonesty that it implies - will undermine the Journal’s profitability……The business world is in almost universal movement to address global warming, the biggest market failure of all time. You’d think Gigot and his crew would offer sage advice on how to navigate through this changing epoch. Instead they say in essence, “No, no, nothing needs to be done. The market will solve everything,” and lend succour to those who aim to retard progress with pseudo-science and misinformation disguised as constructive free speech.

I’m glad I don’t have to go to the airport today. I hear there’s going to be a gun-slinging show down.

I go to the airport all the time - I’ve never been mugged or felt my life was in danger by anyone - well, except that security guard that one time.

I really just do not understand these gun-toting guys. To live your life constantly in fear that someone is going to jump out and try to bring you harm. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

And my other complaint in all this, is WHY ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU HAVE A GUN? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Hmmmm….this guy seems like a complete idiot to me, but hey, it’s not like I’m going to tell him that now!

I hope that if something does go down at the airport, they arrest him and take him to Guantanamo Bay.

And that’s not true about penguins. Penquins are everywhere, they’re like termites or something. True, they started out in S. Pole, but they immigrated to the four points of the compass.

The Nation ran a famous series then called “These United States,” in which smug emissaries from East Coast cities chronicled the “backward” attitudes of what today would be called fly-over country. One correspondent proclaimed that in “backwoods” New York (i.e. outside the Big Apple): “Resistance to change is their most sacred principle.” If that was their attitude to New York, it shouldn’t surprise that they felt even worse about the South. One author explained that Dixie needed nothing less than an invasion of liberal “missionaries” so that the “light of civilization” might finally be glimpsed down there. These authors simply assumed, writes intellectual historian Christopher Lasch, that ” ‘breaking with the past’ was the precondition of cultural and political advance.” Even today, writes Time’s Joe Klein, “This is a chronic disease among Democrats, who tend to talk more about what’s wrong with America than what’s right.”

I’ll go with “otherworldly”.

Star Wars creator George Lucas recently proclaimed that it’s “reasonably obvious” Obama is a Jedi Knight.

Mark Morford, a particularly loopy San Francisco Chronicle columnist, says Obama isn’t really “one of us.” Rather he’s a “Lightworker”, the sort of being who can help us find “a new way of being on the planet.”

Self-help guru Deepak Chopra insists that an Obama victory would bring about “a quantum leap in American consciousness.”

Chris Matthews has be entranced by Obama’s Jedi mind tricks. Obamania, he says, is “bigger than Kennedy….This is the New Testament.”

For you the K.I.S.S. answer.

Some on the left are unhappy with some of the positions Senator Obama takes on some issues.

NEWSFLASH - Barack Obama is not perfect. He has admitted it himself publically!

What you are missing is this….

for whatever differences of opinion we have with our nominee, he still has our vote.

The alternative John McCain is completely unacceptable.

I suspect he already understands that he is the GOP sacrifical lamb in a year when his winning is likely impossible.

So you may continue to slam our man…. have all the fun you can now….

Because next year, you will have to support him. Blindly. Lemming like. Just as you have Bush.

[On the faith-based initiative, Obama’s way isn’t Bush’s way….The notion of the government contracting with religious ministries to provide social services is not, on its face, scandalous or unconstitutional. Groups like Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services have partnered with public officials for decades, almost always without incident. There have always been safeguards in place to protect church-state separation, the integrity of the ministry, and the rights of those who receive the benefits. The safeguards were just common sense, and helped make these partnerships legal. Independent religious agencies, not churches themselves, handled the public funds. Tax dollars supported only secular programs, and no religious discrimination with public funds was permitted. So what happened? George W. Bush decided he wanted to re-write the rules. His White House identified those safeguards and renamed them “barriers.”…..when I saw this AP feed this morning, I nearly fell out of my chair.

Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans that would expand President Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — support their ability to hire and fire based on faith….. Thankfully, this AP feed was wrong, it’s being corrected, and Barack Obama has not completely lost his mind….. I obtained a copy of the speech Obama is going to deliver today, and he specifically outlines a faith-based agenda that in no way resembles Bush’s approach. In fact, it’s largely the opposite…..The AP article had it backwards. Obama has identified the pre-Bush safeguards and strengthens them, not abandons them. ….. By all appearances, Obama’s vision is consistent with what Bush’s plan would have been, if Bush cared about constitutional law, the interests of taxpayers, the rights of families in need, and the integrity of religious institutions.](http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/16056.html#more-16056)

Five years as a POW on the receiving end of the torture, beatings, starvation, solitary confinement, and the other physical and psychological abuse John McCain withstood, is five years of combat, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. His captors had the guns; he was unarmed. His captors had the ropes and truncheons to beat him with.His captors controlled his freedom, communication, food, water.

(((Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.

Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance,<<<< calling him an “Uncle Tom” and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.

Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report — the only Republican candidate so targeted.

But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with “pointing out the obvious.”)))

I’ll see your Media “Matters” (cough cough) and DailyKooks, and raise you an eyewitness account.

(((Project 21’s Kevin Martin was present at that debate and an eyewitness. We asked him to tell us what he saw. The following is his full response, unedited:

I was present at the Morgan State University Maryland gubernatorial debate in 2002 where Oreo cookies were present and used as a means of ridiculing then-candidate for lieutenant governor Michael Steele.

When I walked towards the auditorium where the debate was held, I saw a young girl approaching me holding some Oreo cookies. She attempted to hand me some. When I asked her what they were, she cheerfully replied, “they’re Michael Steele cookies.”

I did see an Oreo cookie fly through the air in the direction of Mr. Steele during the event, but I did not see it hit him. The cookies were just part of a wide-ranging intimidation campaign employed against him and Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert Ehrlich that night which included booing, insults directed at the candidates’ families and vandalism of their supporters’ cars. While the thrown Oreo cookies may not have been “thick in the air like locusts” as Paul Schurick, spokesman for Governor Robert Ehrlich, has said, I feel compelled to ask those who are trying to downplay the events just how many Oreo cookies would constitute being offensive?

Good question! ITN….Midori….anyone?

The term Oreo and the symbolism of the cookie is meant to imply that a black person is really wants to be Caucasian and otherwise ashamed of his or her race. The mere mention of them is insult enough. It is outrageous that Michael Steele’s political opponents are trying to deflect their improper behavior by implying the event never happened. It did. Michael Steele may not have been pelted with a large number of cookies that night, but the epithets were there - both baked and yelled.)))

MAKE IT SAFE: While you’re drilling in the sea, be sure to make it safe ‘cause your little THUGS and THUGLETTS will need the environment in years to come. Don’t sound off to me! No little Poopie-Dos to leave behind (Thank you Lord).

ATTACK! If we need to attack for OIL, go for it! We NEED THE OIL, or the economy will collapse. Yep, just don’t lie about it! We gotta have the oil.

FAITH BASED INITIATIVES: Who needs DEFACS? We all know the local Happy Clappy Churches will always take care of their own. Golly gee! What kid needs more than a nice Thanksgiving meal? The other 364, he/she’s on her own. We all know if the parents weren’t sorry, they’d be where @@, Dusty, whoever that person called Andy, RB and others are in the scheme of things. You sorry little kiddies!!!! You shoulda chosen your parents more wisely.

BUILD MORE PRISONS: We all know life begins at conception, and ends at birth. Gotta be some way to contain those little criminals. We can’t have ‘em on the streets competing for jobs, health care etc.

DRAFT: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. We can’t go into WWIII without the DRAFT. That means all. Thugs and Thugletts under 40 years old must go, health permitting. A family?
