Cato Climate Change Ad
http://not1b4me.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/with-all-due-respect-mr-president-that-is-not-true/
"Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change.The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear."
— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, NOVEMBER 19 , 2008
With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.
We, the undersigned scientists, maintain that the case for alarm regarding climate change is grossly overstated. Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now.1,2 After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events.3 The computer models forecasting rapid temperature change abjectly fail to explain recent climate behavior.4 Mr. President, your characterization of the scientific facts regarding climate change and the degree of certainty informing the scientific debate is simply incorrect.

Si vis pacem parabellum If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong We can thank public education for American gullibility... When did individualism and self reliance come to depend on the government? "A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own." Capital punishment means never having to say, "You again?" Liberals Use Guilt As Moral Weapon Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

What's It Going To Take Mr. President?
What's It Going To Take Mr. President?
Ninety percent of the cocaine smuggled into the USA comes across the Mexican Border and the Secretary of State went to Mexico last week and all but insisted that it was our fault because of the amount of drug users in this country.
The Islamic fanatics in jail in Guantanamo Bay were put there because they are blood enemies of America and President Obama is getting ready to release twenty of them into the population of this country and give them federal aid.
It is now a proven fact that members of the Lebanese terrorist group, Hezbollah, are now in Mexico operating shoulder to shoulder with the Mexican drug cartels and it's a known fact that some of their number have infiltrated into this country using the long established routes of the cartels.
Al Qaeda is now in Latin America. How much longer will it be before they are also on our Southern borders? In fact they could be there now. The truth is we don't know.
Nancy Pelosi said that enforcing the American immigration laws was un-American, and that those who opposed the laws were patriotic. Can somebody tell me how in the name of all that's sane, this woman is even in Congress, much less the Speaker of the House?
Democrats and Republicans, fearing Latin American backlash have long turned their backs on the problem at our Southern borders. Nobody even knows how many illegals are here now and how many of them could be carrying anything from a deadly disease to a suitcase nuke.
I literally marvel at the downright stupidity and incompetence that takes place in Washington every day of the week. It's almost as if the President and the Congress and Senate are deliberately destroying the United States of America and whether it's deliberate or not it's happening at an alarming rate.
Apparently we did not learn a lesson from 9/11, or at least our present government didn't. It's almost as if we're just sitting here saying, "Come and get us, we're yours for the taking".
While politicians hatch grandiose plans to combat global warming and turn the sovereignty of this country over to the United Nations, impending catastrophe tightens it's noose around America's neck every day.
Mexico is all but totally under the control of the drug cartels and we've already seen what happens to a country when Hezbollah and al Qaeda moves in.
So what's it going to take Mr. President, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Reid and all the rest of you spineless, pitiful excuses for human beings who are willing to expose this nation to the kind of danger we're in now because you're afraid you'll miss out on a few votes.
What's going to happen when some fanatic sets off a nuclear weapon in America?As the Bible says, you people gag on a gnat and swallow a camel, you spout out dire platitudes about the mythical dangers of global warming and ignore the clear and present danger of terrorist groups poised to send suicide bombers into this country.
I think if we ever give this country a national enema we should stick the nozzle smack dab in the middle of the District of Columbia.What do you think?
Pray for our troopsGod
Bless America
