The Weekly Enlightenment

Sorry, no time for more in-depth comments, but hope this is okay...

A couple interesting observations:
1. Climate change - always used 20-30 years to justify it, but the last 10 years have been stable. It has always been farcical to look at that short a time period and use it to justify either conclusion.
2. The major lesson to learn from Rush trying to buy the St. Louis Rams is you better hope to God if you want to do something when Democrats take over health care you better hope you never contributed to Republicans.
3. If doctors allowed someone to die, it is against the law. That doctor would be fired and tried in a court of law. Yet many of the same people who would condemn him have nothing but praise for government officials who let people die in Canada and Great Britain.
4. To Democrats, Americans and American businesses are are the enemy.
5. If banks pushed people to buy homes without reading paperwork, wouldn't Democrats be arguing they should be put in jail? Yet Democrats are doing the same thing with all the bills they are passing. Voting on bills without a bill even existing, not letting those affected read the bill before they sign off, and so on.

MUST WATCH
The videos here and here are two great videos of Rush in person.

MUST READ
* Former Clinton Labor Secretary, says what an honest President would say about Democrat plans...we're going to let you die.
* Time and time again, we were told how Afghanistan was the good war and Iraq the bad war. Now the Obama administration doesn't seem that determined to even fight Afghanistan. I don't think Democrats were ever really serious about Afghanistan. Once Iraq was out of the way, they would try to convince us Afghanistan wasn't really worth fighting anyways.
* Be warned that you will pay more for health care with any more government intrusion. Take solace in that in 10 years or so, Democrats will again ride to the rescue and blame greedy insurance companies and step in to "correct" things.
* It's no surprise to many on the right that Obama is governing radically. His personal life bore that out. But what if Obama had told everyone else what he planned to do?
* I still like the NFL. But apparently some divisive figures are more deserving of team ownership than others.

Basic Economics
* Politicians think declaring something a good thing has no effect on anything else in society. Case in point, the home mortgage crisis.
* The old value-added tax is being proposed. The worst part is that it won't be a replacement, but rather an additional tax levied.

Silly Liberals
* Democrats and the media keep insisting the Baucus bill will save 81 billion dollars. Which is funny, because there isn't even a bill. Why do they have to keep being dishonest about what they are going to do?
* Obama seems to think that all problems can be cured by redistribution of wealth, in thid case trying to buy off the Taliban.
* A good summary of the Limbaugh hit-job by the media.

What Climate Change?
* Do you really think proponents of climate change are actually interested in debate? Here a critic's microphone was cut off when he tried to ask Al Gore a few questions. Which I don't really blame Al Gore for, but Gore has continually tried to stifle debate on the issue as well as refuses to debate anything about his movie or climate change in general.
* Lord Monckton is right, it is climate change alarmists who are the real threat.
