 GLOBAL WARMING IS A CYCLE
 



Ever since the beginning of the earth, global warming and ice ages have been going on and off. At first, it was just a wasteland, while the tectonic plates moved over a period of time, volcanoes began to form a spew heat, a.k.a. carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. As the heat built up, it eventually condensed so much, that it began, to rain. It rained, and rained, and rained for hundreds of thousands of years. It rained so much, that the deepest crevices in the earth's surface filled with water completely.

With all the greenhouse gases gone, only a fraction of the heat trapped in the thick layer of the gases actually stayed near the earth. The sudden cold quickly froze and plunged the entire world into an ice age. Over another long period, volcanoes again added gases to the earth's atmosphere. You can guess what happened...

Currently, we don't get huge rains, or entire world ice-ages, but we do get ice-ages. Ice-ages these past centuries have been very small and quite unnoticable. Global warming, unfortunately, is a bit of the opposite. Though global warming is very uncomfortable and irritating, it is in no way humans' fault. We produce about .25% of the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere each year. That's not even one percent. Even if we did stop polluting altogether, (though there is no need to), global warming would not stop in any way, shape, or form. It wouldn't even slow down. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, we can do as humans will ever stop one of the most ancient cycles in the history of the universe.

The bulk of the liberal intellectual community automatically favors any expansion of government power so long as it is advertised as a way to protect individuals from big bad corporations, relieve poverty, protect the environment or promote "equality". Increasingly, each of these elements in present in most environmentalist rhetoric.

In the early 20th century environmentalists predicted global starvation due to drought and global cooling by the 1980s.

A good solution, such as nuclear and hydro-electric power, is opposed by environmentalists.

Another prediction made in 1969: "Hundreds of millions of people will perish in smog diasters in New York and Los Angeles, the oceans will die of DDT poisoning by 1979 and the US life expectancy will drop to 42 years due to cancer epidemics)
I report, U decide.

 UNIONS OWN AL FRANKEN
 


To the editor,

Headline! "MACHINISTS STATE COUNCIL ENDORSES FRANKEN." It is natural for Democrats to give labor total support to repay unions who give more than 90% of their money donations to the Democratic party. You don't bite the hand that feeds you. This can be seen at www.opensecrets.org/pacs/topacs.asp.

Lisa Stager, president of the state council, sez that Franken will proudly co-sponsor the Employee Free Choice Act recently passed by the house with support by virtually all Democrats and no Republicans.

The Employees Free Choice Act would take away a workers fundamental right to a secret ballot while voting to approve a union. This would lead to intimidation by union leaders of employees that do not want to be unionized. Having been on both sides, management and union member, I see that this change would be giving labor an unfair advantage over management. I report,U decide.

 CONFIDENCE IN FRANKEN DROPS
 

DFL Senate candidate Al Franken's recently-publicized tax troubles appear to be making an impression with Minnesotans, according to a new poll.

A poll conducted last week by SurveyUSA for television station KSTP found that 59 percent of adults in the state said they would be less likely to vote for Franken in light of his failure to pay more than $50,000 in income taxes to 17 states. Thirty-nine percent said it would make no difference or would make them more likely to vote for him. I report,U decide.

 HILLARY AND SOCIALISM 101
 

"We can't just plan for the future, we have to help people in the here and now. The choice to me is clear, we need to go after the oil companies [because they are evil]." -Hillary Clinton **Ok, a little editorial license there. "My longer-term plan is to put an excess profits tax on the oil companies above a certain level of profit that would go in to help us make the transition." -Hillary Clinton

Jimmy Carter tried the excess profits tax and all it did was to nearly double the cost of gas at the pump. There ain't no magic.

In 2007 Exxon-Mobile earned a net profit of $40 billion dollars on sales of $360 billion. That's a net profit of 11.3% which is normal for any other business. They paid $29 billion in income taxes. Now Hillary wants to transfer the 18 cent per gallon tax at the pump to the evil oil companies. Any time a corporation pays any tax the cost is transfered to the consumer. That's us. I report,U decide.

 QUOTE FROM THE HOLY QUR'AN
 


[9:5] "And when the forbidden months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever you find them and take them captive, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful." The idolaters are Catholics, Protestants and Jews.

9:2] "So go about in the land for four months, and know that you cannot frustrate the plan of Allah and that Allah will humiliate the disbelievers."
[9:3] "And this is a proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to the people on the day of the Greater Pilgrimage, that Allah is clear of idolaters, and so is His Messenger. So if you repent, it will be better for you; but if you turn away, then know that you cannot frustrate the plan of Allah. And give tidings of a painful punishment to those who disbelieve,"

9.17] "The idolaters have no right to visit the mosques of Allah while bearing witness to unbelief against themselves, these it is whose doings are null, and in the fire shall they abide."

5.51] "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people." Have no mercy on the Jews. Fight them wherever you meet them, kill them.

[47:4] "That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus does Allah set forth for men their lessons by similitudes."

[9.73] "O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination."

2.190] "And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits."

"4.34": Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

2.191] "And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers."

[5.38] "And (as for) the man who steals and the woman who steals, cut off their hands as a punishment for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise."

[2.191]" And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers."Jesus sez "turn the other cheek."

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah

Disbelievers are Catholics, Protestants and Jews, I report,U decide.
