Weird times

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 28, 2009 07:32 PM

A reporter is seeing red after being dragged away from The One.

Energy Secretary Chu is seeing white roofs as Earth’s salvation.

Nancy Pelosi is seeing green rules invading every aspect of your lives.

Weird, creepy times. This wasn’t on the O-teleprompter. Was it, Joe?

    One of the things I realized while blogging:

    People complain about social conservatives needing to stay out of their bedrooms. But globwarming greens are fooling around in every damned room in my house

    I just never expected Nancy P to be so open about it. I guess she knows she has nothing to fear from the current GOP leadership.

    I posted about the white roof idea yesterday morning.

    A comment was posted by zedgar…

    Another great idea would be to require that all interior walls and ceilings be covered with glow-in-the-dark wallpaper or paint to reduce lighting and electrical needs at night.

    Now if we can get Energy Secretary Chu to start painting roofs, one at a time, all the world WILL be a better place. Guam would be a good place to start. Hit the road Chu.

    Truesoldier:
    Pastor David Jones and his wife Mary have been told that they cannot invite friends to their San Diego, Calif. home for a Bible study — unless they are willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to San Diego County.

    “On Good Friday we had an employee from San Diego County come to our house, and inform us that the Bible study that we were having was a religious assembly, and in violation of the code in the county.” David Jones told FOX News.

    Jesus himself told us this would happen. There is a line we must not cross- not for Ceaser, not for King.

    This is less than sophomoric, it sounds like something a kindergartener would come up with. This kind of stupidity sure builds my confidence in the national leaders.

    Obviously this guy is as well qualified to be energy secretary as Sotomayor is to be a Supreme Court Justice. Don’t remember hearing anything about his “…compelling life story…” though.

    =====================

    Hey, Obama, check it out:

    I never knew my bio parents. I was dropped out of a UFO and my foster parents made me drink from a baby bottle and locked me in the closet under the stairs until I started high school.

    That’s pretty compelling, man. Does that qualify me to be the next Supreme Court Justice? You can brag on yourself for nominating the first Alien to the Supreme Court.

    A white roof is one thing, but they’re talking about white roads too. Can you imagine that in the Southwest? You’d be driving blind. Literally.

    I was wondering when you’d mention the white roofs. It’s a shame that all the new road construction uses lots and lots of (pardon my French) black, energy-absorbing asphalt. Way to go, Einstein. You’re killing us all with those, ahem, new jobs you created.

    Pelosi’s “we’re all in this together” one-woman world-saving malarkey, which sentimental advertisers love to echo in hybrid car commercials, suffices in a pinch when one runs out of ipecac.

    Anyone who believes that human activity is bad for the environment would have to recognize that the production and use of all that white paint for rooftops would in itself have a huge negative impact on the environment, according to the dogma they follow. So instead of white rooftops, maybe Steven Chu could settle for some guys in white coats delivering him to a nice, quiet room with lots of padding on the walls.

    This un-American crap going on like Truesoldier stated here in #10 is moving the country one more step closer to a revolution.

Religious freedom is at stake folks, no, wait, all our freedoms are at stake…open your eyes America.
    I am a firm believer the vast majority of the country do not buy this socialist bs Odopey is shoving down our throats…they do not want the givernment in every aspect of our lives as they are doing now.
    I feel confident 1 of 3 things is going to happen in the near future.
    1. the dems in control, the sane ones that aren’t power hungry will see what the Chicago Mob is doing to the country and will start fighting Odopey on his socialist actions.
    2. the conservatives( I did not say Republicans) will win back the house in 2010 and stop this rape of America.
    3. there will be a violent revolt…one has to ask oneself when is enough, enough…well it’s getting closer everyday.

    Ya, this stuff would go over big in the cold northern states.
    White roofs? Our houses wouldn’t be as warm in the winter and without the roofs heating up from the sun, the snow won’t melt. We’d either have to be up on the old steep pitch roofs shoveling or we’ll have lots of cave ins during a winter with heavy snows.
    Speaking of snow…white roads? Snow blindness anyone?
    Cracked concrete from the frost would require new roads every year.
    Then add the clown cars Obama wants everyone except the government elitist leaders to drive and no one goes anywhere fast. Or they get stuck and/or killed. There’s a reason we don’t see as many Mini’s on the snow and ice covered roads in the winter.

    Exactly. I would think that roofs that absorb heat into a home (esp. in winter, where the heat would save on fossil fuel consumption) would be better than deflecting it back into the atmosphere, where the ozone layer would eventually bounce it back to earth.

    Nutty.

    Given that they don’t have to worry about salt, light colored concrete for roads is already an accepted practice in southern states in part to help mitigate heat.

    In fact, temperature monitoring stations that have had urbanization grow up around them are the ONLY stations that showed any significant ‘global warming’, (well.. up until 1998 when things started cooling off as they have been since 2001). On top of that, back in 1990, many rural reporting stations were closed due to lack of funding thus skewing the data even further in the increasingly urban tainted direction.

    Much of the claim of ‘global warming’ is therefore actually not global at all, it is ‘city warming’. It is only the measurement of the urban heat island effect. (I notice it a LOT in the summer riding my motorcycle from Boston to the suburbs; often a ten degree drop in temperature

    Just get rid of the cities. They are mostly full of liberals and welfare recipients. Cities are where most of our tax money is wasted, are the spawning ground of moral decrepitude, are where the most crime occurs per capita and now, the reason idiots think we should limit carbon dioxide – THE #1 gas of life on this planet.

    Seems simple nuff to me…

    Sorry to go off subject, but there wasn’t a new thread that matched this…

    Have you seen this: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-05-28-debt_N.htm

    Basically it says each household’s share of federal debt is 550k… I did another quick calculation using the figure of 63.8 trillion in debt divided by 300 million (that’s the ~ population of the U.S.). That comes out to over 200k per individual. Now if we also take in account that only about 50% of Americans actually pay taxes, that burden is roughly 425K per taxpaying individual. Sooo… that means that a tax paying dual income family’s burden of federal debt is about 850K.

    The bottom line is a bummer: our nation can not and wil not survive this. The collapse is coming. Its no longer an if, just a when…

    Please, if someone has an intelligent response that refutes my informal findings, please tell me. I could use the good news.

Uhm, having lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Chicago it is safe to say that white roofs would create a greater carbon footprint because they will not be able to absorb the heat necessary to help melt snow and ice.

    Don’t forget hunting season. . . bottled venison keeps for a long time without refridgeration, and a hunting license and a couple bullets don’t cost much. Same with fish, and maybe hit the stock auction in the fall when prices are cheapest. And if you don’t have the facilities to slaughter and butcher your own, the auction will send your purchase to the butcher of your choice.

    The dollar is going to be worthless. Being able to barter may be the difference between feeding your family and going hungry. I remember my grandparents talk about using sugar as currency during the FDR economic boom. So I’ve been stocking up on that as well as grains and honey.

    I’m kind of thinking the Grapes of Wrath” on steroids.

    Like Beck says “plan for the worst. . .hope for the best”. And it looks like this summer and fall may be our last chance to “plan for the worst”.

We have also looked into a Wood/Coal heating system for the house to offset/replace the natural Gas we have now. last year that cost for Natural Gas was out of this world

    That was bad enough, but now they’re getting jobs in the administration so we all have to deal with their lunacy.

    It is a oblique tangent but this is just more manifestation of the “dumbing down” of America. Congress and the Obama administration are proudly leading the way to a stupider, less competent America!

    A Pennsylvania newspaper has apologized for an ad they ran suggesting the assassination of Obama. The IDIOTS screening the ads “didn’t make the historical connection.” I think my 12 year old would know this. Remember when “journalists” had more than a single brain cell?

    With any luck Obama will follow in the footsteps of Nixon but without a second term…

    Pa. newspaper ad calls for Obama assassination

    The Associated Press

    WARREN, Pa. – A northwestern Pennsylvania newspaper is apologizing for running a classified advertisement calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama.

    Warren Times Observer Publisher John Elchert says the ad appeared Thursday. It read, “May Obama follow in the steps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!” The four presidents were all assassinated.

    Elchert tells The Associated Press that the newspaper’s advertising staff didn’t make the historical connection.

    He says the newspaper turned information over to police and that the Secret Service is investigating the person who placed the ad.

    A note in Friday’s paper says the newspaper “apologizes for the oversight.”

    McLucas, a supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Texas, had displayed the 3-by-5-foot [American] flag in the office she shares with the hospital’s three other supervisors. McLucas said one of her colleagues, a woman who immigrated to the United States from Africa 14 years ago, complained about the flag to upper management, and the hospital decided to take down the flag.

    “I was told that as long as my flag offended one person, it would be taken down,” McLucas said.

    American capitalism gone with a whimper
    27.04.2009 Source: Pravda.Ru URL: http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-american_capitalism-0

    It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

    True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

    Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

    First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.

    Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

    The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America’s short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

    Or for that matter, for this: Debbie McLucas is a hospital supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Texas. Her husband and sons have all served in the military. Her daughter is currently stationed in Iraq as a combat medic. In honor of Memorial Day, Debbie did the unthinkable: She hung a three-by-five foot American flag in an office she shares with three other supervisors. One was quite offended. So offended, she took down the flag all by herself. Take that, Debbie McLucas. The hospital refused to support the display, claiming other patients and visitors were also offended.

    It would be hard to fault the offended supervisor. She has only been in the country for 14 years, during which time she has risen to a high level of achievement, made a good salary and, as with a number among the new wave of immigrants, never had or felt a need to show loyalty to the country for her great fortune. It isn’t her country … this USA … some nation in Africa is … and the honoring of the shedding of American blood abroad to protect it was apparently of little consequence to her.

    Weird times, indeed…

    THERE has been a battle of wills between North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il and US President Barack Obama. So far, Kim has won.

    However history finally judges Kim – genocidal narcissist, self-declared god king, supreme Stalinist end point of communism – it also will have to acknowledge his extraordinary success in imposing his own reality, his personal paradigm, on the international system and on the US.

    This week, former Australian foreign minister Gareth Evans argued that Kim’s ambitions were essentially reasonable. Kim wanted recognition from the US, a reliable security guarantee and, according to Evans, didn’t really want nuclear weapons.

    That a sane man can make this judgment after decades of relentless nuclear development by Pyongyang, and after it has rejected or broken this same deal time and time again, demonstrates the feebleness of the foreign policy process mind.

    It shows a complete failure of political imagination as to what the North Korean political culture really is.

    It is the same kind of mind that dominates the Obama White House.

    On May 12, Obama’s special envoy on the Korean peninsula, Steve Bosworth, declared: “I think everyone is feeling relatively relaxed about where we are at this point in the process. There is not a sense of crisis.” This could go down as one of the great ambassadorial dumb remarks of all time, indicating a disturbing detachment from reality. It certainly would do if it had been uttered by one of George W. Bush’s officials.

    Consider the implications of Bosworth’s remark. Either the US knew a new nuclear test was imminent and Bosworth was telling a blatant lie in an effort to keep everyone calm or, likelier, it was the truth and indicates that the US had not the faintest idea what the North Koreans were up to, despite numerous analysts across the world, operating with far less information than the US Government had available, predicting Kim’s nuclear explosion.

    Certainly Obama’s subsequent remarks, and those of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as US efforts at the UN Security Council, indicate that once the test was undertaken Washington was anything but relaxed.

    To put it another way, Kim can predict Obama, but Obama cannot predict Kim.

    I think it is much worse personally. These people are making a mockery of what our men and women have fought and many died in order to protect. Even now our men and women are in harm’s way overseas fighting and dying to provide some modicum of freedom to others while we (too many of us apparently … not necessarily on this forum though) are freely giving away our liberty to an increasingly overbearing government.

    Sh!^ at least will help the grass to grow and would provide some benefit. What they are doing will not! My greatest fear however, is that it will be in my lifetime that the tree of Liberty will find itself in need of being refreshed.

    I never thought I would live to see that day. The question now seems to be whether it will come from within or from without but when even the Communist Chinese and Socialist Russia are warning us … well it does not look good for the home team.
