New Years Resolutions, Or A Wish List

Photo from fOTOGLIF

I thought about doing this for Christmas, but being that I am not one to look for gifts at Christmas time I thought putting together a list of resolutions or rather the things I would like to see changed for 2010 might do the trick. The following list is in no particular order.

1). Magically render all cell phones, Blackberries, etc. void and prohibited. These gadgets have and are destroying our society. They are hazardous to everyone’s health (because people just can’t cell phone/text and drive at the same time. Neither can cops but they somehow think they are better than the average Joe.)

We don’t need them and if you really think we do, examine life prior to cell phones and post cell phones. I rest my case. Read more

Profiling And Racial Profiling

Since the terror attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 by the “Pantie Bomber”, much of the discussion has turned to profiling. Those that fear profiling wrongfully call it racial profiling.

Wikipedia, a publicly compiled usually biased site, can give us a publicly compiled, usually biased definition of racial profiling.

Racial profiling is the inclusion of racial or ethnic characteristics in determining whether a person is considered likely to commit a particular type of crime or an illegal act or to behave in a “predictable” manner.

Amnesty International describes racial profiling this way. Read more

Merry Christmas!

New York, NY: Statement of Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli on Congressional Research Service ACORN report requested by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI, which absolves ACORN of allegations of misusing taxpayer money received over the past five years:

“Anyone who saw the video of undercover filmmakers being advised by several different ACORN offices on how to break tax laws and set up brothels can figure that taxpayer money is likely being misspent somewhere by this radical group. Representative Conyers’ refusal to conduct an investigation of ACORN, and ignoring the pleas of his colleagues in the process, is appalling. Read more

Climategate “Hacker” Probably Whistleblower

Dr. Tim Ball, renowned environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, writes in the Canada Free Press that more than likely the person who released the emails and documents that have all become part of Climategate, was a whistle blower and not a hacker. And as such this would have profound legal implications.

Whistle blowers are protected by laws and it would also allow for this information to be admissible in a court of law.

Ball indicates there is a list of likely suspects, insiders, who may well have been the whistle blower and points a finger at Keith Briffa, one of the climate scientists who appeared to be a war with those running the show at the Climate Research Unit.

Statement of Project 21’s Bob Parks on Senator Whitehouse Comments

Washington D.C. This statement was issued today by Bob Parks of the national black leadership network Project 21:

“President Obama’s almost-constant apologies to the world for the our nation’s actions and his socialist economic policies at home have energized a normally lethargic American people into gathering in American cities and storming the steps of the Capitol in protest. Senator Whitehouse would have us all just shut up and give Obama his political victories unchallenged. Not doing so makes us all guilty of unprecedented rudeness and – dare I say it – racism.

The Copenhagen “Accord”

Barack Obama rode into town on his carbon-spewing jet plane(s) with the intention of saving the Copenhagen Climate Conference and the planet from complete disaster. What he did was anger the Chinese and other developing countries and then he and his people went to work to create a spin that they salvaged an agreement with four countries on climate change.

According to Christopher Monckton, the four countries, of which he calls the “Forthright Four”, (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) demanded the following four conditions. Read more

Following Analysis of ABC News Health Care Advertising, Group Says ABC News Should Worry Less About Its Anchors and More About Its Integrity

Washington, DC: ABC News should focus less on the retirement of Charlie Gibson and his replacement by Diane Sawyer and more on integrity, says the National Center for Public Policy Research, which just completed an advertising review of ABC’s nightly World News. Read more

Nations Capping Carbon Mocked as “Suckers” …With Suckers

Copenhagen, Denmark: Hundreds of candy suckers are being distributed at the U.N. climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark today to mock nations that are imposing harsh limits on their carbon emissions at great economic cost for little or no environmental benefit. The group distributing them is the Washington, D.C.-based free market National Center for Public Policy Research.

The suckers bear the caption “Sucker for CO2 Limits.” Read more

At COP-15: Mind the Gum

Copenhagen, Denmark: On the heels of the 90s “tech bubble” and recent “mortgage bubble,” participants at the U.N. COP 15 meeting in Copenhagen are being warned not to create a new “carbon bubble” based on an artificial market in carbon credits by the Washington D.C.-based National Center for Public Policy Research.

To highlight this threat to financial stability, the National Center for Public Policy Research is distributing bubble gum balls bearing the warning: “Carbon Credit Gum: World’s Biggest Bubble” in Copenhagen.

“This colorful candy is meant to elicit laughter, but the joke warns of grave implications,” said Amy Ridenour, president of the National Center for Public Policy Research. “If our government creates an allegedly-tradable product in carbon allowances it will be creating an artificial market. What will happen when the carbon bubble bursts?” Read more

“My Government Went to COP-15 and All I Got Was This Lousy Economy”

Copenhagen, Denmark: Members of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have convened in Copenhagen to negotiate for a climate treaty likely to devastate the economies of compliant nations.

To poke fun while warning of this folly, the National Center for Public Policy Research is handing out T-shirts that display a photo of a Great Depression soup line and read, “My government went to COP 15 and all I got was this lousy economy.” Read more

Grading Myself, Four Horsemen, Banks, Person Of The Year

I figured that if President Obama can grade himself (solid B+), I might as well grade myself. In Copenhagen, protesters showed up dressed as the Four Horsemen described in the Bible, even riding on horses claiming that their conquest, war, famine and death would happen if we didn’t do something about global warming. We have control over the 4 Horsemen? Obama wants the banks to pay us taxpayers back by doing the same thing that got them into trouble the first time. And, a list of the 5 finalists for Time Magazines, Person of the Year.
