Democrat Admits Pelosicare will Harm America

This audio clip from Howard Dean (most famous for his career-breaking "Yeeeeaaahhhhhhgggg!!!", but he is also a medical doctor and was the former Democrat National Committee Chairman), has shocked both sides of the aisle with his recent, revealing comments on the current Obama-Pelosi-Reid-backed Healthcare Reform Legislation.

He admits that "There isn't any insurance reform left in [the current Healthcare Reform bills in the House and Senate] to speak of." He admits that they are nothing more than a Trillion Dollar bail out of insurance companies that will begin un-insuring Americans, make them pay three times as much for healthcare as they do today, and foot our children with the bill for decades to come.

From his own words:

"There isn't any insurance reform left in this bill to speak of." [...]

"What this is is a giant bail out. This is a bail out that makes AIG look cheap. $60 Billion goes to the insurance companies under this bill. Now, if we can get a public option, I think that's okay. But if you don't have a public option, why would we want to stick the tax payers with yet another bail out? They bailed out the banks, they bailed out AIG; this is a TRILLION DOLLAR BAIL OUT." [...]

"I would vote to kill this bill if it does not have a public option, because that is doing harm to the nation....This is a harmful bill to the nation if it does not have a public option because its going to take $Trillions over several decades from our kids. The Republicans are right about the rhetoric of the bill....You're gradually going to start uninsuring people because we're not going to have the money to maintain the system. This does nothing to control costs. "

Listen to the interview here:

I think it's also very revealing that he is very willing to pass this self-described destructive legislation if it gives government control over the healthcare industry. He's concerned when Democrats get nothing out of it, but when they get more POWER, he is willing to stick it to Americans and their children as collateral for empowering his friends in the government. Don't you see what is going on America?!

Smoking Gun 'Fudge Factor' In Climategate Climate Model

The data manipulation couldn't be more brazen. Northern Hemisphere climate model code:

;
; Apply a VERY ARTIFICAL correction for decline!!
;
yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,- 0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,$
2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
if n_elements(yrloc) ne n_elements(valadj) then message,’Oooops!’
;
yearlyadj=interpol(valadj,yrloc,timey)

"It flattens a period of warm temperatures in the 1940s 1930s — see those negative coefficients? Then, later on, it applies a positive multiplier so you get a nice dramatic hockey stick at the end of the century."

Here's a model of the data:
source: http://esr.ibiblio.org/

This corroberates the data manipulation apparent in other models and emails:

"I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline."

"Uses “corrected” MXD – but shouldn’t usually ; plot past 1960 because these will be artificially adjusted to look closer to the real temperatures."

"Because of the evidence for loss of temperature sensitivity after 1960 (1), MXD data were eliminated for the post-1960 interval."

"; Specify period over which to compute the regressions (stop in 1940 to avoid the decline"

Climate "Expert" Screams That We Aren't Smart Enough To Understand Global Warming

Skip ahead to 4:20- Fox News reports on Sen. Inhofe's call for an investigation before this explosion.



More video of liberal meltdown here

Great video continues here

That's right, you and I aren't qualified to criticize scientific cover-ups and manipulations because we aren't educated.

CNBC ambushed Inhofe earlier today, refusing to let him speak. CNBC also insists that scientists so closely linked to Obama couldn't possibly be crooked! Oops... they probably shouldn't have linked this to Obama!

The media has largely ignored Climategate, which I was among the first to report on, but they have gone on to illogically appeal to authority (as they did here), refuse to report the actual text of the files (NYT), irrelevant conclusions (Associated Press), and the typical claim that there is no scandal revealed.

Reuters was happy to trumpet CRU's claim that Climategate is a "smear campaign".

There is nothing in the stolen material which indicates that peer-reviewed publications by CRU, and others, on the nature of global warming and related climate change are not of the highest-quality of scientific investigation and interpretation.

The Left's Abuse of Women and Children

Liberalism is all about taking the common man for a ride, promising them a paradise if they play along, and then leaving them to foot the heavy bill. Two demographics in particular, however, are hit especially hard by the socialist agenda of liberals: women and youth. These two excellent articles from AmericanThinker.com explain the chilling truth about the left's treatment of women, starting with Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, and our nation's naive youth.

From "The Wilding of Sarah Palin":

When I was in college, I read a book that changed my life. It was Susan Brownmiller's tome, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, which explained rape as an act of power instead of just lust. What I found particularly chilling was the chapter on war -- how rape is used to terrorize a population and destroy the enemy's spirit.

While edifying, the book magnified the vulnerability I already felt as a female. Fear of rape became a constant dread, and I sought a solution that would help shield me from danger.

The answer: seek safe harbor within the Democratic Party. I even became an activist for feminist causes, including violence against women. Liberalism would protect me from the big, bad conservatives who wished me harm.

[Please, keep reading here.]

Second article

From "Obama and the Cult of Youth":

Young people are stupid. [...]

Would that stupidity were the most unappealing aspect of youth. Sadly, it often comes mixed with callowness and a smug, unearned moral superiority -- a truly repugnant cocktail. [...]

Societies of all kinds recognize these inherent failings of youth. The difference between healthy societies and sick societies is that sick societies take advantage of the young, flattering them by indulging their self-superiority and cultivating their loyalty while propagandizing them into following the ideology of the regime.

In the Roman Republic -- as healthy, vigorous, and successful a society as has ever existed -- age was the prized characteristic, especially in public servants, who engaged in a political rat-race called the cursus honorum, the "race of honors." This was a complex system of elected offices which included consuls (a sort of duel executive), tribunes, and various magistrates in charge of state finance, religion, and administration.

To succeed in this highly competitive, intellectually and morally challenging system, a degree of wisdom and temperance was required -- characteristics which are the sole province of elders then and now. The Romans were passionately attached to their Republic, which they correctly saw as a unique and precious form of government, and they wanted it helmed by wise and virtuous men. Such men are by definition free of the emotional fevers of youth.

Hate Crimes Against Religious People Rises Sharply

If you look past the lies in the media about recently released FBI statistics, you find that there has been a 9% increase of hate crimes against religious people, mostly against Jews and Catholics. Though I'd bet anything that the many crimes against conservatives who defended marriage in California were overlooked.

Healthcare Reform Bills: Expensive Ponzi Schemes, says Senators

Calling the Senate health care bill a package that Ponzi schemer "Bernie Madoff would really envy," Republican Sen. Jon Kyl said Sunday that the legislation to be debated in December is long on promises but short on accounting.

"When they claim a savings ... in the first 10 years, that's because they start collecting taxes in 2010 they don't start spending money till 2014," said Kyl, helping to kick off the debate senators voted a day earlier to start on the $848 billion package

"Any private or any publicly traded business that claimed it was making a profit because it booked revenue over 10 years but only booked expenses over six years would wind up in jail. That's what this bill does, that's just many of the frauds and hat tricks in this bill," Kyl said on "Fox News Sunday."

Coburn said he sees three problems with the current bill.

"One, 61 percent of health care in this country is already run by the government. Name one that works well," he said, calling Medicare "highly inefficient" and going broke.

"Number two is, this -- this bill creates 70 new government agencies with thousands of new bureaucrats ... with 1,597 different instances where the secretary's mandated to write rules and regulations. ... The third point that I would say is we can fix all these problems, but we have a government-centered approach that is already failing instead of a patient-centered approach. ...There's 11 studies out as of this morning that said both the House bill and the Senate bill will raise premiums, not lower them," he continued.

[Source: Fox News]

The two more of the biggest concerns about the healthcare bills in the Senate and House are:

Mammograms: A government panel recently changed the recommendations for women to receive cancer-screening mammograms from every year starting at 40 to every other year after 50. It is expected that the government will use this to deny coverage to women needing mammograms before 50. Doctors, health officials, celebrities and women and around the nation are outraged at this blatant action to put political expediency above the lives of thousands of American women. Countless women are coming forward to explain that if they had not had a mammogram in their 40s, they would not be alive today. Read more here...

Abortions: The House was able to pass their version of healthcare reform by inserting an amendment banning the use of taxpayer funds for abortion (except in the cases of rape/incest and endangerment of the life of the mother). Democrat leaders, including Obama himself, are plotting to remove the ban in the final bill. This means that, if passed, Obama-Reid-Pelosicare will pay for abortions on demand with tax money collected by hard-working Americans -- whether they think abortion is great or morally tantamount to murdering innocent children.

Leaked Emails Prove Conspiracy To Cover Up Truth About Climate Change

The director of the University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit confirms that these emails from a major global-warming advocacy center in the UK are real. Via Herald Sun.

One top global warming scientist, Dr. Michael Mann who authored the famous graph that first demonstrated skyrocketing temperatures, has been implicated. His name shows up a lot; I'm still sifting through all the material. Dr. Mann says no comment, except that the files were illegally obtained.

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,

Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow.

I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N. The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for 1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.

Thanks for the comments, Ray.

Cheers
Phil

Hi all

Well I have my own article on where the heck is global warming ? We are asking that here in Boulder where we have broken records the past two days for the coldest days on record. We had 4 inches of snow. The high the last 2 days was below 30F and the normal is 69F, and it smashed the previous records for these days by 10F. The low was about 18F and also a record low, well below the previous record low.

This is January weather (see the Rockies baseball playoff game was canceled on saturday and then played last night in below freezing weather).

Trenberth, K. E., 2009: An imperative for climate change planning: tracking Earth’s global energy. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 1, 19-27, doi:10.1016/j.cosust.2009.06.001.
[1][PDF] (A PDF of the published version can be obtained from the author.) ***

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.***

We probably need to say more about this. Land warming since 1980 has been twice the ocean warming — and skeptics might claim that this proves that urban warming is real and important.

See attached note.

Mike,

Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4?

Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis.

Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address.

We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.

I see that CA claim they discovered the 1945 problem in the Nature paper!!
