Erik, I think the only way the tide will turn in America is when enough individuals directly feel the weight in their own lives of how much debt their government has incurred on their behalf.
An example of this tide change occurred in Los Angeles recently, with UCLA students complaining about huge tuition hikes.
Yet if these same students, at what is clearly a left-wing institution, were interviewed, I bet you anything we’d find that the vast majority of them voted for tax & spend Democrats both federally and in their state. This didn’t bother them when they thought that such taxes were going to be inflicted on someone else, but now … to quote a famous pastor … The Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost!
Well Bleet, at least you cleared something up. You made it perfectly clear that you are a coward. What we didn’t know was whether:
1. You were ignorant.
2. You were a liar.
With the help of Google you lessened #1 a tad but your earlier statement clearly makes you a LIAR!!!!
You have so much H-A-T-E to spread around, Bleet. I’ll let you get back to that!
bleet – why are you wasting your time on this blog when you could be buying up shares on Gores carbon exchange? Hurry before you miss out or your main man Gore takes off his blue dress.
bleet, you are not impressing me with your posts.
PS – Palin was very inexperienced – I could have knocked that one out of the park without knowing a thing about the Bush doctrine.
Ya just say “what particular things do you want to know about the Bush doctrine?”, or “there are different definitions of the Bush doctrine, about which would you like me to speak”?
The media doesn’t really care about the answers themselves, the questioners just want to look clever through their emoting and verbiage
EBD: “In the short term, at least, this is just a minor flesh-wound to the AGW promoters.”
I don’t think so. Prior to the whistleblower there was a public opinion shift away from the promoters. This was in spite of the marketing efforts of MSM. The doom didn’t happen, and people actually noticed it was cold outside. This information will drop the numbers further and, I believe, those that have and will abandon this nonsense, will do so forever … and it certainly won’t get others to jump onto the AGW bandwagon.
At some point the critical mass will be gone. They really needed the scam to be sewn up about 2-3 years ago.
infinity squared – your posts are sage indeed, but I agree with EBD.
It’s hard to argue with religion, and AGW is a religion
Facts don’t matter. Emotion does, cheers, me

“That Krieber manifesto, short version
by Colby Cosh on Sunday, November 22, 2009
1. I believe the Liberal Party of Canada is destined to become a miserable component of ephemeral coalitions, like the liberal parties in Europe, because it refused to submerge its identity in an ephemeral coalition, the way the liberal parties in Europe did.
2. Our party was inherently doomed from the moment Mr. Martin ousted Mr. Chrétien. So my husband’s subsequent leadership really never had a chance. Nonetheless, given a chance, my husband certainly could have saved the party; it would be quite wrong to suggest that it was doomed.
3. Nothing good at all can come of using polls to attack a party leader, but did I happen to mention how badly Mr. Ignatieff is doing in the polls?
4. I dream of a party where the order of the day is happiness, and not assassination. Now excuse me for a few moments while I disassemble, clean, and conceal this fragrantly smoking .50-calibre rifle I’ve just noticed lying at my feet.”

Over at the UN News center they have a story on how ‘climate change aggravates gender inequality’. Nothing on the hacking,of course. Anyways this story on gender inequality includes this nugget—“In the aftermath of disasters, many women who were not allowed to leave their homes without a male relative have perished, while others who never learned how to swim also lost their lives.”— In true UN style there is nothing said about why these women are in this situation,it is that nasty ‘climate change’ that is causing their deaths.— http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=33005&Cr=climate+change&Cr1=

I agree with Joe, Robert. In the short term, at least, this is just a minor flesh-wound to the AGW promoters.
– EBD
My first instinct was to disagree. But with a more careful reading (always advisable with EDB comments) I agree. But notice EBD says “AGW promoters” not AGW itself. AGW is done, but the promoters will cotton onto new enviro-statist memes.
Let’s face it: Reagan didn’t defeat communism (what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!). The Fall of the Wall was not the end of communism. The Cold War didn’t end. Communism, or if you prefer, STATISM, will continue to expand like the very universe. Just look at economics: Keynes was irrefutably de-bunked INTELLECTUALLY but it’s back, BIG TIME. The entire G20 project — a co-ordinated reflation of the world economy — is Keynesian to its very core. And it will bring a global depression of unimagined severeity. Keynes didn’t understand economics– he just made stuff up; he had ONE course in economics. He merely dressed up statism in impenetrable jargon and was believed because he was a member of the ruling elite.
Palin reminds me of nitroglycerin – every time I’m afraid when I see her.
Posted by: Erik Larsen at November 22, 2009 1:51 AM
Man, Erik, that explains EXACTLY what happened to me with her O’Reilly interview. I got so bloody nervous I bailed. Elsewhere I’ve stated I did so because I can’t stand the factor-twit, but that wasn’t really true. While I really love the woman and share her values, she really, really makes me nervous: I always feel like I’m watching a developing train wreck.
Me No Dhimmi: I for one would like to encourage someone for leadership who doesn’t have the “debating” abilities of the Ivy Leagues. So often these people turn out to be empty suits as the present One has. I also have to remember how Regan was assaulted by the media and dismissed by the Party faithful in his first attempts at running for nomination. Palin was just thrown into the arena prematurely. Naturally she doesn’t fit in with the elitist establishment of the Republican Party and that may be a good thing if your looking for a positive future.
MSM begins the Liberal Donolo-pushback with:
1. DeKommished: “for the time being”.
“He’s [Donolo] told the election-readiness team to stand down, sending war room head Warren Kinsella, who had been coming to Ottawa several days a week helping to plot question period attack strategy, back to Toronto for the time being.”
2. “No more”. The burning bush strategy. Iffy’s Motto-to-be: I am the IAM. Mess with Me? You gonna get burned.
“… the week offered another glimpse of Donolo’s strategy when it comes to attacks on Ignatieff or the party. Liberals went on a ferocious, all-out counter-attack against a Tory leaflet, mailed to ridings with large Jewish populations, that suggested a link between Liberals and anti-Semitism.”
http://www.google.com/ hostednews…NQDmwUBoE20iMdA
Speaking of Kinsella, I’ve heard that he’s agreed to be the campaign manager for John Tory’s bid to be Mayor of Toronto.
It doesn’t make sense. Agreed, that John Tory is not a genuine Conservative or Progressive Conservative; he’s basically a Liberal.
But, Kinsella has been working with Ignatieff and Kinsella is a confirmed Chretien Liberal. Would he really work with someone nominally a PC?
And wasn’t it the case that either Tory or Smitherman would run for mayor but not both? And Smitherman has already declared his intention.
And hasn’t John Tory lost every political campaign he’s been in over the last few years, including an Ontario provincial election as leader, his own seat, and another try for a seat, and also the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party?
Note – don’t ever confuse the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party with the federal Conservatives. The Ontario PC are Liberal-Lite.
bleet – you STILL haven’t answered the key question of ‘what is THE Bush doctrine’? After all, you sneered at Palin’s response to this question. So, we are sneering at your lack of response. Bleet- without looking up Krauthammer, do you know what is the Bush Doctrine? hmmm?
Me no dhimmi/erik – I don’t see Palin as nitroglycerin but as a searing honesty. We are so used to the emptyhead/suit ‘virtual rhetoric’ of politicians who talk and talk but say nothing concrete – that when we hear someone speak, and actually mean what they say, it’s like an ice cold shower.
Think of Obama; he lives in a fantasy world; nothing, absolutely nothing he says has any relation to the real world. He’ll say one set of ‘let me be clear’ to one audience and the contrary to the next day’s audience. No promise is valid for more than one hour.
Then, you get Palin – and her words are bonded to reality; her promises aren’t meant to manipulate you but to express her sincere agenda. Obama’s agenda is to make you vote for him, to put you in his power. He has no intention of keeping his promises.
Her statements, if they are incorrect, aren’t manipulative misinformation as they are with Obama (we’ve saved millions of jobs; I’ve cut taxes..)..but are genuine errors.
And she speaks for ‘everyday Americans’. Not the leftist socialists. Not the Washington crowd.
EBD – I competely agree with you and others that this AGW collapse of factual data will be a mere blip in their agenda. After all, their basic agenda never had anything to do with the ecology of the planet.
It’s been, right from the start, a deliberate UN strategy of anti-capitalism and anti-western agenda to get capitalist, Western money into the hands of the corrupt ‘developing’ nations. Not as loans and not even to develop ‘clean industries’. Just to force the West to support the UN babies.
ET: Oh, I certainly agree with your positive remarks about Palin, and yeah, I think she’s a breath of fresh air. And I think she’s smart and also experienced enough. That said, like Erik, I do find myself very nervous and anxious when she’s in an interview situation. She needs to be a little less NICE and push back against unfair gotcha questions, esp. those for which she couldn’t be expected to provide detailed answers, not being in the power loop.
EXPLODING HEADS. Glenn Beck has apparently said he’d vote for her just to see lefty heads explode.
I get that sentiment, but after 8 years of BDS can America take another period of PDS?
Someone mentioned the lefty baiting of Reagan. But it wasn’t derangement as we saw with Bush. The question is tho: had Reagan been in the internet era would he have been as abused as Bush?
What I’s saying — and maybe I’m dreaming — is that America needs a leader who can espouse limited government and market solutions with authority, style, humour and panache WITHOUT making the left insane.
The last segment of Roy Green’s show today was very interesting. You can listen to it here beginning at 33:00.
At first he had on a pro-Palin woman from the U.S. She was even a little too gushing for my taste. But then he let Canadians call up and express their views on Palin. The first one was pro-Palin, but the rest were VERY anti-Palin.
Most “instructive” to me were the many women who phoned in. From them I “learned” that:
1) Sarah Palin is not a real woman because she’s not Pro-Choice.
2) Sarah Palin is letting her family down by not staying home. Roy asked her if she would say the same thing about a man … and there was an uncomfortable silence, then a little truth was revealed.
3) Sarah Palin is a complete fool because she hasn’t bought into the Man-made Global Warming Theory.
4) Barack Obama isn’t succeeding so well because of an inherent racism in America.
All of this came out of the mouths of Canadian women living in urban areas. If even one of them has ever considered voting anything other than NDP or Liberal in their entire lives, I would be absolutely shocked!
You know the old expression, “Give an idiot a rope and he’ll hang himself” ? I think that is PRECISELY what is going on here with Sarah Palin.
Let me be clear, thoughtful people like Erik Larsen and Me No Dhimmi make excellent points, which I fully understand and acknowledge.
But those who blurt out the asinine views like the callers to Roy Green’s show did, speak volumes about the bigotry & double-standards of themselves. If you ever hear similar things in person, perform the following simple litmus test:
Ask them if Barack Obama is doing a good job as President and if Joe Biden is ready to step into the Presidential role. Their response to this pair of questions will tell you a WHOLE LOT about the person you’re speaking with!

For those who think that Palin is not “ready” to be president I would ask just who was ready to be president?
FDR? He who thought the sun shone out of Papa Joe’s butt?
Give’m Hell Harry? The failed haberdasher?
Ike? The guy who was able to keep all the big egos from losing the war?
JFK? The guy whose biggest claim to fame was that he lost his boat?
Johnson? The guy who loved to shed his pants in public?
Tricky Dicky? Lost to JFK because he didn’t wear the right makeup for TV.
Ford? Never elected president or vice president.
Carter? Peanut farmer with a boozy brother.
Regan? Greatest claim to fame was playing second fiddle to a monkey.
Bush? CIA chief
Clinton? Whitewater
Bush Jr? Recovering booze hound.
Obama? MeMeMeIIIMeMeMe.
If Palin is not ready for the Presidency then she comes from a long line of likewise not ready to be president presidents.
Joe, absolutely hilarious! My only qualm is that you didn’t have enough “Me”‘s for Obama. But I don’t know if Kate has enough server space to represent just how narcissistic he is!!!
(PDF warning) Luv Puri, The Past and Future of Deobandi Islam
(pp. 19-22) When developing a strategy involving the Pashtun community in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it is relevant to understand the Deobandi school of Islam. Deobandi Islam is the most popular form of pedagogy in the Pashtun belt on both sides of the Durand Line that separates Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, prominent Afghan and Pakistani Taliban leaders have studied in Deobandi seminaries. This article explains the history of Deobandi Islam, shows how Deobandi Islam in Afghanistan and Pakistan has been influenced by Saudi Wahhabism, and finally looks at the role of Deoband today…
I took EBD’s “promoters” to mean the useful idiots. I have no doubt that the UN backers have a Plan B, Plan C etc. But things have changed since they started the AGW grift … including the slow death of MSM and the rise of the internet.
The FOIA emails show that they (the useful idiots) were full of fear and the publishing of those emails did nothing to diminish these fears. Can’t help but think of Tim Larkin’s newsletter “The Importance Of Mind Games”:

I don’t think the next attempt will be as easy to conceal as this one. I also think that they picked AGW because they thought it was the easiest target with the biggest payoff.
Re: “Speaking of Kinsella, I’ve heard that he’s agreed to be the campaign manager for John Tory’s bid to be Mayor of Toronto.”
What, is there a rule that the obnoxiousness of the campaign manager multiplied by that of the candidate is supposed to be a constant?
