Do as we say, not as we do

If celebrities really believed global warming was such a threat, why do they not change their own behavior? This from the Daily Mail.

 
Nothing new under the sun

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with ever anyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

 
Anti-global warming -- when it helps the bottom line
It should come as no surprise that Al Gore is personally profiting from his war against man caused weather changes. Now he admits it.
 
And the left continues to eat its own
Sunnyblog has long linked Democrat Underground under 'Laughs' to the right and down. Why that is has never been more apparent than with this rant. It takes a few minutes but is very worth the read. And be certain to read at least the first half dozen comments. Amazing stuff.

Unintended consequences

OPEC has always had a serious problem. If it's member states allow the price of oil to rise too high, then alternative measures in other countries become cost effective. It has happened. Consider this article in Next Energy News reporting that an oil reserve of 500 billion barrels is coming online in North Dakota. Current United States reserves of oil are estimated at a 21 billion barrels so this is a substantial increase. It is in a location already designated for oil drilling so for once the environmentalists are out of it.

Here is the consequence. Saudi Arabia, which reputedly have all the oil on earth -- sort off --, has 260 billion barrels. They, and OPEC, are going to figure this out real fast and if they don't the market will. Assuming Congress stays out of it.

 
Coming home to roost

As Barak Obama attempts to talk his way out of his membership in and support of his Chicago church, it is interesting to objectively consider what Rev. Dr. Jeremaiah A. Wright, Jr. preaches and the believes the church supports. From it’s website then:

"The Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:"

[NOTE: I have altered the 12 concepts by substituting the word "white" so you can grasp the full significance.]

"1. Commitment to God

2. Commitment to the *White* Community

3. Commitment to the *White* Family

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

6. Adherence to the *White* Work Ethic

7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the *White* Community

10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting *White* Institutions

11. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the *White* Value System

12. Personal commitment to embracement of the *White* Value System."

Consider the following also from the church’s website:

"The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.

2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.

3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.

4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.

5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.

6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.

7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.

8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.

9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.

10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY."

The entry ends with the following:

We are reaching the point when Senator Obama might welcome the mention of his middle name.

 
Eating your own
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. at the American Spectator has written an insightful article on what is taking place currently in the Democrat Party. It has long used identity politics to get elected and now that same brand of politics has been turned inward. We can only hope it will continue.
 
The real face of change

Senator Obama isn't standing on any moral high ground. Read how he came to live where he lives.
