WHY THE DEMOCRATS LOVE EUROPE

KRUGMAN:

Still, if we’re heading for a prolonged era of scarce, expensive oil, Americans will face increasingly strong incentives to start living like Europeans — maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of our lives.

OBAMA:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

ET AL.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT EUROPE THEY LOVE SO MUCH!?

WHY DON'T THEY LOVE AMERICA AS MUCH AS THEY DO EUROPE!?

I THINK THE LEFT THINKS THAT EUROPEANS ARE SMARTER AND MORE SOPHISTICATED AND LEFTISTS WANT TO BE ACCEPTED BY THEM.

• IOW: THE LEFT'S IMAGE OF THEMSELVES AND THE USA IS OUTER-DIRECTED. IT IS OUTER-DIRECTED BECAUSE THEY ARE POSTMODERN RELATIVISTS.

• IOW: BECAUSE AMERICA'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLES ARE UNIVERSALIST AND VALORIZE INDIVIDUALISM, THEY ARE ANTITHETICAL TO SOCIALISM AND RELATIVISM AND NIHILISM. AND LEFTISM.

• EUROPE IS THOROUGHLY LEFTIST - ASK BAWER. (NO COINCIDENCE THAT SO IS ANTI-AMERICANISM AND ANTISEMITISM!)
  

• HENCE, EUROPE IS WHAT THE AMERICAN LEFT IDOLIZES - AS ROMNEY SAID ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL MANY TIMES.

• DEMOCRATS WANT TO FRENCHIFY THE USA. AND IF THEY WIN, THEY MIGHT SUCCEED IN AT LEAST ONE WAY: MAKING US THE FIFTH BIGGEST ECONOMY, INSTEAD OF THE BIGGEST!

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

[ASIDE: I LOVE PARIS. BUT NEARLY EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE IS PRE-20TH CENTURY, AND NON-POSTMODERN.]

ISRAELIS DEVELOPING ARTIFICIAL LEAVES WHICH CAN GENERATE ELECTRICITY; IOW: BIO-PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS

HAARETZ:

... researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) claim to have created a prototype of a photovoltaic cell by genetically engineering proteins that produce energy using photosynthesis. If successful, this would enable energy production on a commercial scale through the construction of "artificial leaves." The cells would even appear green, because of the wavelength of the light that they collect.

... The new photovoltaic device is based on a genetically engineered dry protein, photosystem I (PS I), created from bacteria that carry out photosynthesis.

... In the first stage, the researchers grew cells that can produce large quantities of the PS I protein. "We introduced genetic changes into bacteria so that the proteins they create can bond to a substrate bottom metal and be suited for use," Carmeli explained. The most complex stage involved placing the protein molecules on the substrate, all facing the same direction. Next, the surface was coated with a suitable conducting material. Electrical wires were then connected to the cells, which produced an electrical charge when exposed to light.

... The research is still in its early stages, and so far the team has only created a microscopic cell that produces a tiny amount of energy. ... it is too early to talk about the total cost of producing electricity on a commercial scale using the new method.

GEE: IF IT WORKS, THEN IT COULD OUT THE ARABS OUT OF THE ENERGY BUSINESS!

OH THOSE JOOOOOOZE!

TEDDY JO REFUSES TO TAKE A GET WELL CALL FROM BUSH

AP:

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's hospitalization after a seizure stretched to a third day Monday, raising questions about the severity of his illness.

The senator's office announced that he is not expected to return to Washington this week, and a spokeswoman said the Massachusetts Democrat had not been available to take a call from President Bush earlier in the day.

"Take care of my friend," the president told Vicki Kennedy, who answered the call from the White House to Massachusetts General Hospital, according to Kennedy spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter. ...

BUT...

... Over the weekend, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., visited his colleague, but he declined public comment about his condition.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, the leading Democratic presidential contender, told reporters he was surprised by Kennedy's vigor during a phone call Saturday.

HE TOOK CALLS FROM KERRY.

AND OBAMA.

HMMM...

AND TEDDY WAS EVEN WELL ENOUGH TO PLACE A CALL TO DODD...

Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said Kennedy's voice "couldn't have been stronger" when he called Sunday.

"My cell phone rang and I picked it up and here was this voice that sounded terribly familiar to me talking about how those nurses were picking on him up in that hospital. It had me laughing," Dodd told reporters.

"His voice was robust and strong and full of that laughter we've all heard a million times. He sounded great."

(WHY'D HE CALL DODD? COULD IT BE BECAUSE DODD IS AN OLD DRINKING BUDDY OF TEDDY'S? PROBABLY.)

BUT... TEDDY JO WASN'T WELL ENOUGH TO TAKE A CALL FROM THE POTUS.

WHAT AN AS**OLE.

MAYBE TEDDY JO WAS AFRAID HE'D GET A LECTURE FROM BUSH ABOUT LAYING OFF TE SAUCE? (BUSH IS A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC HIMSELF. A SUCCESSFUL ONE!)

I NOTE THIS BECAUSE I SUSPECT THAT TEDDY'S CONDITION IS BOOZE-RELATED.

NAVAL JIHAD

Via the most recent newsletter from America's Truth Forum:

Islamist forums and jihadi media have been promoting and threatening to perpetrate naval terrorism as an important strategic trend in the jihadi path....

[...]

The Jihad Press deems it essential to take the battle to the sea now that the final fight to subdue the enemy is closing in. When the mujahideen have won the final battle they will impose on the Crusaders and Zionists an unconditional withdrawal from Muslim countries, leaving behind the weapons they brought to kill Muslims. Similar to jihadi ground formations, the maritime mujahideen must commence marine training programs to prepare naval units capable of controlling the sea and restoring the Islamic caliphate. According to the author of the article, the mujahideen should start the naval jihad operations along the Yemeni coastal area...

Source

This idiocy will serve to embolden the naval jihad even further:

Piracy used to be a one way ticket to the gallows. With the Royal Navy these days, it may be a one way ticket to the pirates’ port of choice; or worse for the people of Britain, the chance for freebooters to claim asylum in the UK.

Last month, Britain’s Foreign Office instructed the Royal Navy not to return pirates to jurisdictions sporting Islamic law for fear that their human rights might be violated. It has even been discouraged from capturing pirates, because they might demand asylum in Britain, a request with which the UK might have to comply under international human rights law.

It isn’t that bad in the U.S. -- yet -- but things are getting worse. Welcome to the brave new world of “lawfare,“ the soft jihad that uses international organizations and treaties, but especially the courts, in an effort to undermine the ability of the West to fight Islamofascism; directly by making military action and law enforcement more difficult, and indirectly by suppressing free discussion of ideas that are crucial to understanding and confronting the Islamist threat....

WAS TEDDY'S SEIZURE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL OR BY THE MICHELLE OBAMA "KILL WHITEY" TAPE RUMOR?

Just asking...

OBAMA: "NO YOU CAN'T!"

• OBAMA SAYS WE HAVE TO CURTAIL OUR PERSONAL FREEDOM IN ORDER TO BE MORE LIKED BY FOREIGNERS.

• HE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT WE SHOULD BUY SMALLER CARS, AND USE LESS AIR CONDITIONING. SHEESH.

• HE IS TELLING US, WHEN IT COMES TO SPENDING OUR OWN HARD-EARNED MONEY THE WAY WE WANT TO... "NO, YOU CAN'T!"

• HIS RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN WIFE HAS SAID SIMILAR THINGS:

To provide a good education for all children and universal health care, people will have to give something up for the greater good. There’s no easy fix, but it starts with "us," she said.

• THEY THINK THEY KNOW HOW TO SPEND YOUR MONEY BETTER THAN YOU DO.

VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

32,000 SCIENTISTS SAY AGW IS BOGUS

TAT:

The National Press Club in Washington will today release the names of as many as 32,000 American Scientists who reject not only Kyoto-style greenhouse gas limits, but the very premise of manmade global warming itself.

... these dissenting scientists - over 9,000 of whom hold Ph.Ds -- now outnumber the environmentalists that attended the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio that actually kicked off the global warming craze.

And, I might add, far exceed the count of UN IPCC "scientists" whose calamitous predictions lie at the very heart of climate hysteria and what Solomon calls "the Kyoto Protocol's corruption of science."

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? SIMPLE: AGW = BS.

• SOMEONE TELL MCCAIN.
• AND SOMEBODY WLES TELL AL GORE TO STFU.

The only way McCain can win (?)

Excerpt:

John McCain is America's favorite kind of candidate. With his record of extraordinary patriotism and his distinctive Senate tenure, McCain is a nominee whom voters from both parties -- and independents, too -- could easily support. But he has been dealt a terrible hand: a tanking economy, an unpopular war, a Republican incumbent whose approval ratings are at their all-time low and a gloomy national mood, with 82 percent of Americans saying in a Washington Post-ABC News poll last week that the country is on the wrong track. Political scientists add all that up and predict that the Democrats are destined to win the White House. But I don't do political science; I do politics, and I'm convinced that McCain can still win -- if he's willing to follow the road map below.

McCain needs to not run as a traditional Republican, which is easy, since he's not one. After all, how did an anti-torture, anti-tobacco, pro-campaign finance reform, anti-pork, pro-alternative-energy Republican ever emerge from the primaries alive? Simple: The GOP electorate, along with the rest of the country, has moved somewhat to the left. (In Florida, for example, exit polls showed that only 27 percent of Republican primary voters described themselves as "very conservative," while 28 percent said they were "moderate" and 2 percent said they were "very liberal.")

In this environment, McCain can win by running to the center. His base will be there for him; indeed, it will turn out in massive numbers. Wright has become the honorary chairman of McCain's get-out-the-vote efforts. It would be nice to think that race isn't a factor in American politics anymore, but it is. The growing fear of Obama, who remains something of an unknown, will drag every last white Republican male off the golf course to vote for McCain, and he will need no further laying-on of hands from either evangelical Christians or fiscal conservatives.

So McCain doesn't have to spend a lot of time wooing his base. What he does need to do is reduce the size of the synapse over which independents and fearful Democrats need to pass in order to back his candidacy. If the synapse is wide, they will stay with Obama. But if they perceive McCain as an acceptable alternative, there is every chance that they will cross over to back him in November.

Earlier in the race, Iraq might have been a deal-breaker. But a kinder, gentler war has emerged. U.S. combat deaths are way down, and the de facto U.S. alliance with Sunni tribal leaders in Anbar province against al-Qaeda in Iraq seems to have dramatically improved the security situation. Still, most Americans don't like the war, and McCain must deal with their opposition if he wants to win. The solution is to draw Obama out -- to ask the untested senator what he would do if al-Qaeda in Iraq took over the country . . . or if Iran did . . . or if the Iraqis who backed the U.S. mission were being slaughtered by the thousands . . . or if Islamist terrorists seized control of the country's oil wealth.

Obama, not wanting to appear weak, would no doubt rise to the bait and agree that he might need to send troops back in under certain conditions. He would assure us that sufficient forces would be available at nearby bases to get the job done. To avoid coming across as indecisive and timid, he would put on a sufficiently hawkish face to reassure the voters. And in doing so, he would blur the war issue vis-a-vis McCain. It will make little difference to most Americans whether our troops are in Iraq (as McCain wants) or in Kuwait (as Obama can be pushed to suggest), so long as U.S. casualties are dropping. And with the economy in tough shape, Iraq will fade as the election's be-all and end-all issue.

Meanwhile, McCain should highlight his credentials as a reformer and a maverick to attract Democrats and independents who worry about Obama.

British police: OK to be a terrorist-supporter but not OK to reform and condemn terrorism

The Muslim-loving British police get madder every day

He was the poster boy for jihadist extremism who become one of its most vocal opponents, meeting a government minister and being offered Home Office funding to support his deradicalisation work among young Muslims. But now Hassan Butt is under arrest and at the centre of a high-stakes legal battle that goes to the core of Britain's fight against terrorism.

Hassan Butt sent dozens of British Muslims to training camps in Pakistan, raised money for the Taleban and once boasted of his desire "to kill or be killed for the sake of Allah". His words and deeds in support of Islamist terrorism were reported widely between 2001 and 2004, yet he was never charged with any offence.

After the suicide attacks on London in July 2005, he embarked on a lengthy and painful reexamination of his beliefs, eventually repudiating violence and emerging as a passionate critic of the cause he once espoused. Since early 2007 Mr Butt, 28, has denounced al-Qaeda in numerous newspaper articles, in international television interviews and in debate at the Cambridge Union. However, he has been labelled a traitor to Islam by his former comrades and in April last year was stabbed in the street by two assailants.

Ten days ago, as he prepared to board a flight to Pakistan, Mr Butt was arrested - and is still detained - under the Terrorism Act. If his rejection of violence was not a sham, then Greater Manchester Police - whose investigation is being carried out independently of Counter Terrorism Command at Scotland Yard - may be about to face more than a few tough questions.

WTF?: NOW SOME SCIENTISTS ARGUE THAT HURRICANES WILL BECOME LESS FREQUENT DUE TO AGW

BBC:

Hurricanes and tropical storms will become less frequent by the end of the century as a result of climate change, US researchers have suggested.

But the scientists added their data also showed that there would be a "modest increase" in the intensity of these extreme weather events.

The findings are at odds with some other studies, which forecast a greater number of hurricanes in a warmer world.

The researchers' results appear in the journal Nature Geoscience.

HUH?! ER, UMM... YOU MEAN THERE ISN'T NEAR UNANIMITY IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, NO CONSENSUS!?!?

• THERE NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
• MORE HURRICANES. LESS. WHO CARES. SAME DIFFERENCE.
• THE MAIN THINGS IS AGW IS REAL AND ONLY HIGHER TAXES AND CARBON SCHEMES WILL SAVES US.

IOW: AGW FREAKS CAN HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. AS LONG AS THE TAX-PAYER PICKS UP THE BILL!

RUMOR: REPUBLICANS HAVE MICHELLE OBAMA ON VIDEOTAPE RAILING AGAINST "WHITEY"

No Quarter asks, "Will Obama Throw Mama From The Train?"

I now have it from two three four sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at Jeremiah Wright’s church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research.

Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright’s United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament.

When the ugly video tapes about Jeremiah Wright’s racist ravings first broke Barack Obama told us he could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than his own Grandmother. Well, we all know how that turned out. So will Barack stand by Michelle when the tape emerges of her verbally attacking “whitey?” Republicans, who are otherwise gloomy about prospects in November, recognize that this recording will create real problems for Barack and give them a shot at the White House. It is their October surprise.

Does Barack have an obligation to tell the Democrats, super delegates in particular, about this tape? Did Barack and his campaign do their basic homework and identify this tape as a potential problem? And, more importantly, do they have a copy? Probably better to deal with this issue before the convention rather than wait for October. What do you think?

Reliapundit adds: Oh... Obummer I mean OBAMA will just say he never heard her ever say anything controversial before...

OBAMA PROCLAIMS AMERICANS CANNOT CONTINUE TO BUY THE PRODUCTS THEY WANT

It doesn't matter to Barack Obama whether we can afford these products. He says we can not continue to buy them. And, why not? Because, he's afraid of how it will look to the rest of the world.

From AFP:

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

So, what is he going to do about it? Make a law that we can not spend our money as we please?

Is Barack Obama out of his freaking mind?

Reliapundit adds: he's not crazy; just a leftie. And it's for the common good, dontchya kno'.

THE GREAT EXAGGERATIONS OF THE DOOMSAYERS

Barry Rubin talks about how the wishes of those who'd wish for Israel to perish are greatly exaggerated, and how they only end up hurting the Arabs they supposedly support too.

IN THE FUTURE EVERYONE WILL BE SUPERMAN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES

Get ready all you Clark Kents, Scientists have developed a Superman suit which magnifies the wearers strength and endurance by a factor of twenty:

Rex Jameson bikes and swims regularly, and plays tennis and skis when time
allows. But the 5-foot-11, 180-pound software engineer is lucky if he presses
200 pounds — that is, until he steps into an "exoskeleton" of aluminum and
electronics that multiplies his strength and endurance as many as 20 times.
...

Jameson — who works for robotics firm Sarcos Inc. in Salt Lake City,
which is under contract with the U.S. Army — is helping assess the 150-pound
suit's viability for the soldiers of tomorrow. The suit works by sensing every
movement the wearer makes and almost instantly amplifying it.

Read the whole thing.

OBAMA DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT GEOGRAPHY

First he thought there were at least 57 states.

Now he claims that HRC is 27 points ahead of him in Kentucky, because Arkansas is close to Kentucky:

Obama conceded that he has a steep challenge to get his message and background to voters in states such as Kentucky — where he trails Sen. Hillary Clinton by 27 points, according to a poll published earlier this week — and West Virginia, where voters chose Clinton over Obama by 40 points on Tuesday.

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

Obama is from Illinois. Illinois & Kentucky share a border. Arkansas is separated from Kentucky by Tennessee and Missouri.

What a pathetic alibi. Obama's already showing flop sweat. Just wait, should he receive the Democrat nomination, for a complete rout in November.

Hat tip: Scott Johnson.

SOLVING THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT

All the wars fought against Israel were always called "Arab-Israeli" wars. Never "Palestinian-Israeli wars."

WHY?!

Because the enemies of Israel had ALWAYS seen themselves as Arabs - the Ummah - not "Palestinians."

Prior to 1967, the ONLY people to call themselves "Palestinians" were the Jews of British Palestine.

The "Palestinian Liberation Organization" was founded BEFORE the 1967 war, BEFORE "occupation" of the West bank and Gaza.

It was founded to liberate ALL of British Palestine from Jews, and not just the "occupied territories".

This in fact has never changed: Fatah and Hamas BOTH really want to eradicate Israel - just like Hizballah and Iran. Fatah just is a little better at playing the "peace-process" game.

Despite this, Bush and Rice continue down the "peace-process" road. Bush AGAIN reiterated his belief in the two-state solution.

I'd like to ask a question of all the doves/appeasers/two-staters:

If Fatah and Israel agree on all terms (including refugees, and Jerusalem - the ONLY outstanding issues, really) - then... WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT GAZA!?!?!

Hamas - which controls Gaza - won't agree to ANY permanent settlement. The MOST they will agree to is a hudna of 10 years. SO: Does Gaza become part of this new Arab state? Does Fatah invade?

MY ANSWER:

It's INSANE to think that giving Fatah or Hamas more autonomy will makes things better. It will makes things worse. Left alone to their own devices they will only become more belligerent and antisemitic. The withdrawal from Gaza proves this beyond ANY reasonable doubt.

SO: the goal of this so-called "peace-process" - another Arab state living side-by-side with Israel in peace- is not only unattainable in practical terms (YOU CAN'T MAKE A FINAL DEAL WITH FATAH AND NOT GAZA) --- it can't bring real peace.

So far, the only thing which has made Israel safer is the security fence.

SO, WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

Israel should annex the "territories" and treat Arab towns in the West Bank and Gaza as autonomous "reservations". And the Arabs there should be disarmed:

• Any Arab owning any weapon would be convicted of sedition and sent into permanent exile.
• And their schools and media would be monitored for antisemitism - a crime which would be legally considered SEDITION - all teachers and writers convicted of promoting sedition would be sent into permanent exile.
• Mosques would be forbidden from teaching nakba and antisemitism; any imam teaching this would be sent into permanent exile.
• Arabs would be sent "home": nation-states which are part of "the ummah".
  

And if the Arabs there don't like it then they can leave voluntarily - as they did in 1948.

Senator Harkin is an Anti Military Slime

Post below recycled from Big dog. See the original for links

Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa is a bonehead who has insulted John McCain because McCain served in the military. According to Harkin, McCain's service and the generations of service from his family has wired him differently and renders him unfit to serve as president. Imagine that, Harkin thinks military service makes one unfit for the Presidency. Remember when service was a good thing and when most of our presidents served or came from military families? Perhaps liberals look at this differently because it is getting harder and harder to find liberals who served and they know this.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain's family background as the son and grandson of admirals has given him a worldview shaped by the military, "and he has a hard time thinking beyond that," Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ia., said Friday.

"I think he's trapped in that," Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

Harkin said that "it's one thing to have been drafted and served, but another thing when you come from generations of military people and that's just how you're steeped, how you've learned, how you've grown up." Des Moines Register

Harkin is absolutely, without a doubt a complete idiot. He believes that being in the military and that havng a family history of serving makes one unfit to be the president. I guess the idea of discipline, selfless service to the country, duty, honor, and integrity (all values taught in the military) are not what Harkin would call positive attributes. And why would he? Just look who he backs for president. Barack Obama.

Barack Obama lived the ideal liberal life. He was born to a black man and white woman. His father left when Obama was very young so he was left in a single parent household. Eventually he ended up being shipped off to his typical white grandmother. Obama benefitted from affirmative action and used the benefits provided by the government to attend law school and then he became a politician and has lived off the government. Barack Obama has lived a liberal life of handouts and socialism. He is not fit to be president. His life experiences are ingrained in him and he will try to run the country based on his liberal ideas of income redistribution.

It seems to me that Democrats are positioning themselves for the general election. They know that Obama has NO military experience whatsoever and his life shows he has little leadership experience. The left is trying to make this a non issue now by claiming it is McCain whose life experiences make him unfit to serve. There are a lot of problems with John McCain that might call into question his qualifications for the presidency but his military experience is not among them and Senator Harkin should be slapped around for suggesting such stupidity.

Think about it America. The Democrats want you to believe that military experience and a family history of service makes people unfit to be president. Barack Obama is supposed to be the next coming of JFK. As I recall Kennedy was in the Navy. His service failed to make him unfit to be president. Only in the mind of liberal idiots could military experience disqualify a person from serving AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES.

And this is the kind of logic that wants to run this country. It might be a good idea for the liberals to come up with another line of attack. This whole military issue will backfire. Harkin has already insulted a lot of people who have served and whose families have a history of service and these insults will not go unnoticed.

GM Roper also has some good comments. Hark to some basic background on the dishonest Harkin here and also below:
