Those who promote the theory that mankind is responsible for global warming have been working for the past 20 years on a revisionist climate history. A history where climate was always in a harmonious state of balance until mankind came along and upset that balance.

The natural climate cycle deniers have tried their best to eliminate the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age from climate data records by constructing the uncritically acclaimed and infamous “hockey stick” of global temperature variations (or non-variations) over the last one- to two-thousand years.

Republicans Consider Changing 2012 Presidential Primary Schedule

VIA HOT AIR:
Republicans Consider Shaking Up Primary Schedule

Iowa has long held the nation's first presidential caucuses, followed by New Hampshire's leadoff primary, but the two, smaller states have been criticized for wielding outsized influence in presidential nominations .

... Republicans from Iowa and New Hampshire defended their coveted early spots in presidential nominating contests Friday, as national party leaders consider recommending a new pathway to the White House for the 2012 election.

Iowa has long held the nation's first presidential caucuses, followed by New Hampshire's leadoff primary. But the two, smaller states have been criticized for wielding outsized influence in presidential nominations, and the 2008 election created a virtual stampede as states jostled for early dates on the political calendar.

A panel of the Republican National Committee, meeting in San Diego, began hearings Friday evaluating the sequence of contests, although a recommendation is not expected from the group until next year.

Under an RNC change last year, most states are barred from holding primaries before the first Tuesday in February 2012. New Hampshire and South Carolina cannot vote before the last two weeks of January 2012. The rule is silent on Iowa, though party officials expect it to kick off the selections with party caucuses in the first two weeks of January.

With those dates set, the issue is where other states eager to influence the nomination will fit in. Several plans have been proposed to rearrange the calendar, including grouping states in regions and rotating the order every four years.

I SUGGEST THEY DO IT EVEN MORE CREATIVELY AND STRATEGICALLY:

1 - WHY NOT TINKER WITH THE STATEWIDE ASPECT: HAVE AN EARLY TEST BE AN NATIONAL URBAN COUNTIES PRIMARY: FEBRUARY 1ST IN NY, L.A.; ATLANTA; DALLAS; CHICAGO; ST. LOUIS; NEW ORLEANS; MIAMI; ETC.

  • THE GOP HAS TO RUN BETTER IN URBAN COUNTIES TO WIN.
  • SO WHY NOT GET AN EARLY INDICATION OF WHICH CANDIDATE CAN DO THAT!?!?

IT MAKES SENSE.

2 - HERE'S A MUST CHANGE - AND I MEAN MUST: THE GOP MUST END OPEN PRIMARIES.

  • MCCAIN WON BECAUSE HE GOT DEMOCRAT VOTERS TO CROSSOVER IN THE PRIMARY IN NH AND FLA.
  • WITHOUT THIS, MITT WOULD HAVE WON.
  • A MORE CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE WOULD HAVE WON.
CONTINUING WITH OPEN PRIMARIES GUARANTEES A LESS CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE.

WE NEED ANOTHER REAGAN, NOT ANOTHER MCCAIN!

TWO MORE SWINE FLU DEATHS IN SAUDI KINGDOM

Did the DoJ Try to Get Johnson Off the Hook?

Looks like a congresswoman and a US Attorney with big mouths cut a deal with the White House to blatantly violate existing laws which would have kept stimulus money out of Johnson's hands, since he had already abused government funds. Walpin took issue with it. The plot thickens. Call it a hunch: I bet that Brown and Michelle Obama go way back.

Morrissey:
Byron York stays on the curious case of Gerald Walpin, the Inspector General who got fired shortly after objecting to a sweetheart deal for an Obama supporter. Senator Jeff Sessions has taken an interest in the case and some evidence that the Department of Justice may have played an inappropriate role in cutting that deal, one not revealed by the White House. York reports that the US Attorney for Sacramento made an odd public statement about stimulus funds for Sacramento, and now refuses to answer questions from Congress about it:
According to a senior Republican aide, Sessions’ interest was piqued by a statement made in a late March television interview by Rep. Doris Matsui, the Democratic congresswoman who represents Sacramento. Asked whether Johnson’s problems could prevent the city from receiving stimulus funds, Matsui said that, at Johnson’s request, she had “been in conversation with officials at the White House and OMB [Office of Management and Budget] and others to ensure that we don’t lose any money at all.”

Within days of Matsui’s statement, a settlement was reached. Johnson was unsuspended, and in a particularly unusual move, acting U.S. Attorney Brown issued a press release hailing the arrival of stimulus funds. “The lifting of the suspension against all parties, including Mayor Johnson, removes any cloud whether the City of Sacramento will be prevented form receiving much-needed federal stimulus funds,” Brown wrote.

Republicans on the Judiciary Committee want to know why a U.S. attorney was touting his own actions in bringing stimulus money to the city. That’s not the normal role of prosecutors. “We need to hear whether the settlement in this case was tainted in any way by political influence or political factors,” says the senior Republican aide.

So far, Brown has refused to answer any questions. In June, Rep. Darrell Issa, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a list of 20 questions to Brown and received no response. A follow-up in July was similarly ignored. “Your unwillingness to be cooperative with our investigation raises further questions about your role in this matter,” Issa wrote Brown.

Clearly, the administration cut the deal for political reasons. Obama wanted stimulus dollars to flow to Sacramento, and Johnson’s record of defrauding the government prevented it, thanks to laws in place to keep federal funds from being given to people who have already abused it. That’s precisely why Walpin objected to the settlement in the first place — because it effectively neutered those laws in Johnson’s case.

The question here is what role a US Attorney played in circumventing those laws in order to win a political settlement for Obama. The US Attorney has the responsibility to enforce those laws, not to find ways around them for people who violate the public trust. If Rep. Matsui leaned on the White House and OMB, and then if the White House leaned on Brown, then that is an abuse of power, especially when conducted on behalf of a campaign supporter for Obama. Brown’s refusal to answer implies that there may be fire along with the smoke on this matter.

BRIGHT SPOT APPEARS ON VENUS


FIRST JUPITER, NOW THIS:
Astronomers are puzzled by a strange bright spot which has appeared in the clouds of Venus.

The spot was first identified by an amateur astronomer on 19 July and was later confirmed by the European Space Agency's Venus Express spacecraft.

... The bright spot has since started to expand, being spread by winds in Venus's thick atmosphere.

Scientists are unsure as to what caused the bright spot tens of kilometres up. However, a volcanic eruption is a possibility. ... an eruption would have needed to be extremely powerful to penetrate this far through the planet's dense, mainly carbon dioxide, atmosphere.

... This is not the first time bright areas have been spotted on Venus. But this feature is unusual because it is confined to a relatively small region.

The spot was first identified by US amateur astronomer Frank Melillo, from Holtsville, New York.

AL QAEDA INFILTRATION IN MI5?

REUTERS:
The head of a British parliamentary counter-terrorism committee called Saturday for the government to clarity whether al Qaeda operatives had tried to infiltrate the MI5 domestic security agency.

Patrick Mercer, a Conservative and chairman of parliament's sub-committee on counter-terrorism, said he had been told up to six Muslim recruits had been ejected from the spy agency because of concerns about their backgrounds.

Two of the men who had attempted to join MI5 after the July 7, 2005, London suicide bombings had attended training camps in Pakistan while the others had unexplained gaps in their curricula vitae, Mercer told the Daily Telegraph.

"I would be very, very surprised had our enemies had not tried this but I would like some clarification from the government to see how successful we've been at detecting them," he told Sky News.

ABC/AU:
A senior British MP says Al Qaeda sympathisers may have infiltrated one of Britain's spy agencies, MI5.

Senior opposition politician Patrick Mercer says he has been told that six Muslim recruits were rejected from the security service because of concerns about their pasts.

It is believed that two of the men may have attended Al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan.

Mr Mercer has called for an investigation.

"What concerns me though, is that not all of these individuals have necessarily been nailed and that's why I've written to the Home Secretary to seek reassurance," he said.

"It stands to reason that if our enemies have tried this, and I have no doubt continued to try it, that there may have been some more successful than others."

Government officials have dismissed Mr Mercer's allegations.

THE SAME IS PROBABLY TRUE HERE IN OUR FBI AND CIA.

HAMAS VOWS THEY WILL ARREST FATAH MEMBERS RETURNING FROM FATAH CONVENTION: OKAY, LET'S GIVE THEM A COUNTRY!

CHINA VIEW: Hamas says to arrest Gaza Fatah members upon return

GAZA, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Gaza rulers of Hamas on Saturday vowed to arrest and prosecute Fatah members who sneaked out to the West Bank through Israeli-controlled borders.

"Anyone who sneaked out from Gaza illegally and with arrangement with the Israeli occupation would be arrested and sent for trial upon return," Hamas Interior Ministry said in a statement.

Tens of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party members, despite a Hamas ban, succeeded in leaving for the West Bank over the past couple of days to attend Fatah's sixth general conference, due to be held in Bethlehem on Tuesday.

The majority of more than 400 invitees in Gaza was unable to head for Bethlehem as Hamas deployed checkpoints along roads leading to Erez crossing point in northern Gaza Strip.

Some of Fatah activists, including women, disguised in Bedouin and Islamic cloths to avoid the checkpoints or to cross to the Israeli side of the borders via other commercial crossings.

THIS IS NOT A PEOPLE WHO DESERVE A COUNTRY.

NOT IN GAZA, NOT ANYWHERE.

THEY CANNOT WIN ONE AND IT SHOULDN'T BE HANDED TO THEM.


AND DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HOW THE MSM ISN'T REPORTING THIS!?!? THEY ARE ACTIVELY AIDING THE ENEMY. (AS IN THE AL DURA AFFAIR AND JENINGRAD AND SO MUCH ELSE.)

AND ANOTHER THING: THE SANE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD PRETTY MUCH RECOGNIZE THAT HAMAS ARE SCUM. FATAH IS TOO.

It’s On: Iran Has 3 American Hostages

How will Obama handle it? How do you think? Not in a Reaganly manner. Does he even have more mass-murdering terrorists he can release? Blood on your hands, Obama. Blood on your hands. And it's probably not Jewish, so don't get all cocky.

H/T: S&L

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s state owned Arabic-language al-Alam TV station confirmed that three U.S. citizens were arrested after crossing the border from Iraq.

The report cited a "well-informed source" in the Interior Ministry that the three Americans were detained Friday after crossing into Iran’s Kurdistan province.

The report said the Americans were arrested after they refused to heed warnings from border guards.

Iraq’s Kurdish regional government’s envoy to Washington, Qubad Talabani, told The Associated Press the three were tourists and mistakenly crossed into Iranian territory at the border town of Ahmed Awaa.

Iran has confirmed it detained three Americans who were in the area of the Iranian border while on a hiking trip, Kurdish officials said Saturday. The U.S. State Department has said it was looking into the situation.

The Kurdish regional government’s envoy to Washington, Qubad Talabani, told The Associated Press the three were tourists and are in Iranian custody. He said the Americans mistakenly crossed into Iranian territory Friday at the border town of Ahmed Awaa.

"The Iranians said they have arrested them because they entered their land without legal permission," he said…

He was begging for this to happen when he decided to cozy up to this guy:

AS FATAH - WHICH RUNS THE P.A. - VOWS IT WILL NEVER ACCEPT ISRAEL, THE NYTIMES SALUTES OBAMA'S DEMAND THAT ISRAEL CEASE ALL SETTLEMENT CONSTRUCTION

NEVER-NEVERLAND FANTASIES FROM THE NYTIMES:
we commend President Obama for demanding that Israel halt all new construction.

... Less visibly, but we hope just as assertively, the administration is pressing the Palestinians and other Arab leaders to take concrete steps to demonstrate their commitment to a peace deal.

Those must clearly contribute to Israel’s sense of security.

REALITY (7/31/09):
FATAH WILL NEVER ACCEPT ISRAEL OR CEASE WAR
INN:
Senior members of Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah have announced that their group will never recognize Israel, and will continue to call for war against Israel. “Fatah does not recognize Israel's right to exist, nor have we ever asked others to do so,” said senior Fatah member RafikNatsheh, a close associate of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

THE ARABS - OTHER THAN SO-CALLED "JORDANIANS" AND EGYPTIANS - HAVE TAKEN NO CONCRETE STEPS - NONE.
  • AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE USA AND THE EU AND UN IS AIDING THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY ISRAEL;
  • THE USA GAVE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS THIS YEAR TO GAZA!
  • THIS IS REWARDING THEIR BELLIGERENCE AGAINST ISRAEL,
  • NOT FORCING THEM TO MAKE "CONCRETE STEPS" TOWARD PEACE!
FACT: PEACE IS A BY-PRODUCT OF A VICTORY IN WHICH THE VANQUISHED SURRENDERS UNCONDITIONALLY.

  • THE ARABS MUST SURRENDER ANY AND ALL NOTIONS OF GETTING ANY OF JERUSALEM OR ISRAEL BACK - EVER - BEFORE THERE CAN BE PEACE.
  • THAT'S JUST A FACT OF LIFE. THAT'S CONCRETE STEP NUMBER ONE.
  • EGYPT AND JORDAN LEARNED THEIR LESSONS.
  • UNTIL IRAN AND SYRIA AND HIZBALLAH LEARN THEIR LESSONS, THERE WILL BE NO PEACE.

Tolerance: Alabama or NYC?

Alabama Bans Wine With Naked Nymph On Label



We read:
"Alabama doesn't want any images of naked flying nymphs hanging off bicycles on the labels of wine bottles sold in the state and that's just the way it is. Might give people the wrong idea. Who knows what folks might start trying on bicycles?

So the state's liquor control board has banned a California wine called Cycles Gladiator because its label uses an Art Nouveau image that once graced the posters of a turn-of-the-century French bicycle manufacturer. So "Fat Bastard" wine is OK but if you think you're going to sell a wine with an artful nude on the label in Alabama, you're just whistling Dixie.

As for Hahn Family Wines in Soledad, Calif., the state's move has been a marketing godsend.

So have a laugh at those Alabama hicks. The sophisticates of NYC would never sink that low, would they? See below.

They are about as tolerant as Joe Stalin, who said that "There is complete freedom of speech in Russia as long as you agree with me".
"Like many outlets of the CVS Caremark pharmacy chain, the store in Chelsea at Eighth Avenue and 24th Street has a book rack stocked with texts distributed by a Virginia-based company called Choice Books. These books are the inspirational type, many of them Christian-themed.

Leafing recently through titles like “Emergency Prayers” and “500 Questions & Answers from the Bible,” two Chelsea women were appalled by passages that called homosexuality a “cancer,” sinful and “detestable” to God. The women alerted Chelsea Now, a local newspaper, describing the passages as “hate speech” from which children had to be shielded.

Chelsea Now agreed in an editorial. In short order, CVS removed the two books from its stores throughout the city. “We are committed to building an environment of inclusion and acceptance that values diversity across all areas of our business,” a company spokesman, Michael DeAngelis, said in an e-mail message to me...

Christianity falls outside "diversity", apparently. We can't be TOO diverse, now, can we? The Left walk in lockstep like the Prussian soldiers of old. They would not know the meaning of diversity or tolerance. They use their brains only to defend their orthodoxies.

HONDURAS TO OBAMA: UP YOURS!

REUTERS:
Honduras' de facto leader vowed on Friday that no country will push the small Central American nation around and pledged to resist international pressure to reinstate toppled President Manuel Zelaya.

Roberto Micheletti, who was named president by Congress just hours after soldiers overthrew Zelaya on June 28, said Honduras had enough basic foodstuffs to endure economic sanctions if it were further isolated over the coup.

"We don't accept anyone imposing anything on us. There is no country -- no matter how powerful -- that is going to tell us what to do," he told Reuters in an interview.

The United States, Honduras' No. 1 trading partner withdrew military aid and canceled diplomatic visas to important figures in the interim government to pressure Micheletti to reinstate leftist Zelaya.

Latin American countries and the European Union have also lined up against Micheletti, a former head of Congress.

THEY WON'T LET OBAMA AND CHAVEZ PUSH THEM AROUND!

It allows the National Election Council to redraw voting district boundaries.

Meanwhile, Venezuela's media regulator ordered the closure of 34 radio stations amid a growing feud between the government and the private media.

WHITE HOUSE OMB: EARMARK MONIES MISSPENT BY BUREAUCRATS

THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU EVEN THE PET-PROJECTS OF CORRUPT POLITICIANS IN CONGRESS AREN'T IMMUNE FROM BUREAUCRATIC ABUSE: NYTIMES:
Thirteen federal agencies took nearly half a billion dollars off the top of Congressional earmarks for administrative expenses in 2008, nearly 3 percent of the total amount that members of Congress had directed to pet projects in federal spending bills.

The Defense Department led the way with nearly $240 million deducted from earmarks. Several agencies, including the Education and Housing and Urban Development Departments, did not withhold any money to process and provide oversight of earmarks.

The findings, summarized in a report from the White House Office of Management and Budget, provide the first governmentwide look at how much federal agencies keep from earmarked money.

The report was done at the request of Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, who said he first learned of the practice three years ago when the recipient of an earmark he had requested notified him that it had not gotten the full amount.

“This is an issue of transparency,” Mr. Nelson said. “Some of these agencies are clearly taking money without any authority, and they should not have these off-budget expense accounts.”

  • THE LESS THE GOVERNMENT TAKES FROM US IN TAXES, THE LESS THEY CAN SPEND AND THE LESS THEY CAN STEAL AND THE LESS THEY CAN STEER TO THEIR CRONIES AND THE LESS THAT CAN BE WASTED AND MISSPENT.

SOCIALISM ALERT: Congressional Democrat POLITICIANS in House pass bill putting BUREAUCRATS in charge of exec' compensation of bailed-out companies

THIS IS MORE FREAKIN' SOCIALISM FROM THE DEMOCRATS:
The House approved a measure Friday that would put new constraints on executive pay, capitalizing on outrage over multimillion-dollar bonuses to Wall Street executives whose firms were bailed out by taxpayers.

The measure, which applies to any firm with more than $1 billion in assets, passed 237 to 185, with most lawmakers voting along party lines. The Senate will not take up a similar measure until after it returns from its August recess in September.

The bill, introduced by Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, would let regulators ban risky incentive-based pay that could have an adverse effect on the financial system.

THE REAL ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM IS SIMPLE:

  • THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T BAILOUT CORPORATIONS;

  • IT SHOULD GIVE TAXPAYERS TAX-CUTS INSTEAD.

VIDEO: 7/31: Tehran Protest In The Cemetery In Memory Of Those Who Died In Protests






Today, my Iranian friends were optimistic: they believe that Ahmadinejad and Khameni are through, and that in due time their replacements will dismantle the Supreme Council.

*******UPDATE: CSM: In shift, Iran's protesters demand new republic
At the end of a rocky week, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sought to quash mounting evidence of a rift with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, claiming they were "like father and son."

"The efforts of ill-wishers to insinuate such doubts is fruitless, and they will surely take such wishes to their graves," said Mr. Ahmadinejad. "This road is blocked to the devils."

Demonstrators flooded the streets of Tehran on Thursday in large, countrywide protests. But in a development signaling a new stage in the confrontation, they adapted the Iranian Revolution's most famous slogan – "Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic" – to their latest demand, shouting instead: "Independence, Freedom, Iranian Republic."

"Before, the demand was just for a rerun of the elections, but since yesterday, people are running a step ahead and asking for more," says Masih Alinejad, a Tehran-based reformist journalist, in a telephone interview. "They're also becoming divided. Some people still want [defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein] Mousavi, but others are demanding more than just a rerun of the elections: They now are calling for an Iranian rather than an Islamic republic."

THIS PROTEST HAS BECOME A REVOLUTION!

TAX CUTS ARE ALWAYS BEST BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE MORALLY SOUND AND HONEST WITH NO POTENTIAL FOR POLITICAL CRONYISM, CORRUPTION OR BUREAUCRATIC WASTE

Think about it...

When the government cuts taxes all it's doing is letting people keep more of THEIR money.

When the government taxes and spends it is spending it on BIG PROGRAMS which are always filled with some corruption and waste - and delays.

THE BIG GOVERNMENT SPENDING LIBERALS LOVE MASQUERADES AS STIMULUS, BUT IT'S REALLY THE TRUE TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS.

Tax cuts - such as suggested by Newt - start IMMEDIATELY and there's no trrrrrrrrrickle down: everyone gets more money at once, to spend as they deem fit.

WITH GOP TAX CUTS, THE STIMULUS STEAMS UP.

AND THAT'S THE STEAM WHICH REALLY STOKES THE ENGINE OF GROWTH: TAX CUTS.

HERE'S NEWT'S PROGRAM:

1. Cut the Payroll Tax in Half for 2 Years.

Every single working American pays the payroll tax. In this economy, many people may not get a pay raise, but this would immediately give every working American a take home pay raise.

This would also immediately increase the liquidity of every small business, because there would be more money available to put back into the business and create more jobs.

So that Social Security and Medicare funds are not affected, we would pay for this proposal by redirecting all the TARP and $787 billion stimulus money that has been allocated but not yet spent.

2. Abolish Taxes on Capital Gains. If we want to compete with China and have the most productive factories in the world, the best jobs, and the highest take home pay, we should match China's capital gains rate of zero. This would dramatically increase investment in America.

3. Reduce the Corporate Tax Rate. When you combine state and federal taxes, America has the highest corporate tax structure in the world. We believe that by matching the Irish corporate tax rate of 12.5%, America would be the most desirable economy in the world to open a factory, create a new job, and develop a new product.

4. Abolish the Death Tax. If we want to be pro-work, pro-savings, and pro-family, we should not punish, but instead reward people who have worked, saved and created wealth all their life.

For just the second time in 140 years of record keeping, the temperature will have failed to reach 90 in either June or July.

...The last time the temperature never reached 90 in June and July was 1996. ...

The daily average this month has been at or below normal every day but two. The temperature broke 80 on 16 days in New York — one more day than in Fairbanks, Alaska. Depending on Friday’s high, this will be the second or third coolest June and July recorded in New York. If August follows the same pattern — and the latest forecast through midmonth predicts that it will — this could be the coolest summer on record.

That is five times the number of young black men in federal and state prisons and two and a half times the total number incarcerated. If you expanded the age group to include African-American males up to thirty or thirty five, the college attendees would still outnumber the prisoners."
5X MORE COLLEGE AGE BLACK MEN ARE IN COLLEGE THAN IN PRISON.

SO THE LEFT SHOULD ABANDON THIS OLD CANARD - AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

Now if you compare the total number of black men in prison from age 18 to 90, you obviously get a bigger number. But that is not a valid comparison.

Earth to Andy McCarthy (An Open Letter of Sorts) (Update)

Look, Mr. McCarthy, I hold nothing but the utmost respect for you, and while I, like all the rest of us who haven't been asleep at the wheel for the last 18 months or so, commend you for admitting to your sloppiness - and for essentially taking the fall for all the editors of NRO - in having never questioned the apparatchik media line due to negligently thoughtless conflation, even in the face of glaringly obvious fabrications. While I agree with you that the heart of the matter is that Obama has never, as far as I know (and I'm always open to evidence to the contrary; I just have yet to see any) told the truth about himself, as an attorney, particularly one who has prosecuted terrorists and worked for the Justice Department, you simply should know better.

As far as Obama's birth goes, three possibilities exist:

1) He was born in Hawaii, the son of Barack Obama, Sr.

2) He was born in Kenya, the son of Barack Obama, Sr.

3) He was born in Hawaii, the son of Frank Marshall Davis.

I agree that where he was born may very well not matter at the end of the day. Even if he were to produce a legitimate birth certificate today, as opposed to the the Certificate of Live Birth which was a Certificate of Birth to the editors of NRO two days ago, despite the fact that you seem to comprehend the significance of the term "natural born," and despite the fact that his Indonesian sister possesses a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, as can anyone with $10 and a name, that would not even begin to signal the end of the "Birther" debate, which, incidentally, hinges upon a lot more than Barry Soetoro's place of birth.

You seemed to have done a good job tying up all the ends frayed by the article by the editors two days ago until you had to use the term "Indonesian dual citizenship." It was not until I read that I understood why you brushed off the issue of his having been adopted by Lolo Soetoro.

The fact of the matter is that he relinquished any American citizenship he might have had, or, in all fairness to Obama, his degenerate mother whored it away for a long trip to the Third World, if you have any idea how Mohammedan 'marriage' works. He is not an American citizen. No such thing as "Indonesian dual citizenship" existed during the entirety of his time in Indonesia, and, as you noted, he could not have attended public schools were he not a full citizen (the only kind at the time) of Indonesia.

Furthermore, he could not have traveled to Pakistan in 1981 on an American passport. It was not the case that Americans were "advised" not to travel to Pakistan. They were not allowed to at all in 1981. It is simply not possible for anyone sans special diplomatic status and accompanying passport to have traveled to Pakistan in 1981 on an American passport.

This is why he won't give up his college records or anything else.

Also, think about it: does Affirmative Action even begin to explain how a D student at a third-tier college could just transfer to Columbia? Not on your life. Only Arab student visa racket cases receive that sort of treatment, and believe me, they do. You will be hard-pressed to find a single PhD program in a reputable university which has not been infiltrated by hopelessly unqualified Arab Muslim Brotherhood Members, including drooling retards. Find one. I dare you. Good luck. I wish I were exaggerating even a little, but I'm not, not in the least. For the record, Saudi money only follows spurious Arab admissions, which is why it's the 'Arab student visa racket.' One will not find Muslim Indians who actually had access to education which could arguably be legitimately accredited. I'm talking about people who attended Third World colleges where education ends at 17, from countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, where it is illegal to teach that 6 and 8 are different numbers because Allah apparently failed to matriculate to first grade. Only by Arab student visa racket standards was Barry '57-states' Soetoro 'qualified' for admission to Columbia.

To recap:
  • Even if he was once a natural-born citizen, he's not now.

  • He was unarguably an Indonesian citizen. "[Dual] Indonesian citizenship" did not exist during the entirety of his time in Indonesia, and he attended public school. We have records of this, to exclusion of all other school records.

  • He traveled to Pakistan in 1981, again proving that he could not have been an American citizen.

  • He transferred to Columbia despite being woefully unqualified, and nothing could possibly explain that except for the Arab student visa racket, which is obviously connected somehow to the 1981 trip to Pakistan which he took on what was probably an Indonesian passport, and certainly not an American one.

Got it now? I was with Dave Jeffers in thinking that the editors of NRO were blatantly propagating disinformation in order to distance yourselves from the rest of us crazy wackjobs who bitterly cling to our 'magic bullet' (which is the Constitution of the United States of America, not a Hawaiian Certificate of Birth), but it has become evident that you guys have simply been asleep at the wheel for some time while we crazy wackjobs have been doing your job for you. You're welcome.

Update:

*"Pakistan was under martial law in 1981 and certain undesirables… Christians, Jews, and Americans… were prohibited from entering the country. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department’s “no travel” list, making a U.S. passport no more valuable than an empty chewing gum wrapper at the Karachi Port of Entry."

Climate Revolt: World’s Largest Science Group 'Startled' By Outpouring of Scientists Rejecting Man-Made Climate Fears!

Scientists seek to remove climate fear promoting editor and 'trade him to New York Times or Washington Post'

An outpouring of skeptical scientists who are members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are revolting against the group's editor-in-chief -- with some demanding he be removed -- after an editorial appeared claiming “the science of anthropogenic climate change is becoming increasingly well established.”

The editorial claimed the "consensus" view was growing "increasingly difficult to challenge, despite the efforts of diehard climate-change deniers.” The editor now admits he is "startled" by the negative reaction from the group's scientific members. The American Chemical Society bills itself as the "world's largest scientific society."

The June 22, 2009 editorial in Chemical and Engineering News by editor in chief Rudy Baum, is facing widespread blowback and condemnation from American Chemical Society member scientists. Baum concluded his editorial by stating that “deniers” are attempting to “derail meaningful efforts to respond to global climate change.”

Dozens of letters were published on July 27, 2009 castigating Baum, with some scientists calling for his replacement as editor-in-chief.

The editorial was met with a swift, passionate and scientific rebuke from Baum's colleagues. Virtually all of the letters published on July 27 in castigated Baum's climate science views. Scientists rebuked Baum's use of the word “deniers” because of the terms “association with Holocaust deniers.” In addition, the scientists called Baum's editorial: “disgusting”; “a disgrace”; “filled with misinformation”; “unworthy of a scientific periodical” and “pap.”

One outraged ACS member wrote to Baum: "When all is said and done, and you and your kind are proven wrong (again), you will have moved on to be an unthinking urn for another rat pleading catastrophe. You will be removed. I promise."

Baum wrote on July 27, that he was "startled" and "surprised" by the "contempt" and "vehemence" of the ACS scientists to his view of the global warming "consensus."

"Some of the letters I received are not fit to print. Many of the letters we have printed are, I think it is fair to say, outraged by my position on global warming," Baum wrote.

Selected Excerpts of Skeptical Scientists:

“I think it's time to find a new editor,” ACS member Thomas E. D'Ambra wrote.

Geochemist R. Everett Langford wrote: “I am appalled at the condescending attitude of Rudy Baum, Al Gore, President Barack Obama, et al., who essentially tell us that there is no need for further research—that the matter is solved.”

ACS scientist Dennis Malpass wrote: “Your editorial was a disgrace. It was filled with misinformation, half-truths, and ad hominem attacks on those who dare disagree with you. Shameful!”

ACS member scientist Dr. Howard Hayden, a Physics Professor Emeritus from the University of Connecticut: “Baum's remarks are particularly disquieting because of his hostility toward skepticism, which is part of every scientist's soul. Let's cut to the chase with some questions for Baum: Which of the 20-odd major climate models has settled the science, such that all of the rest are now discarded? [...] Do you refer to 'climate change' instead of 'global warming' because the claim of anthropogenic global warming has become increasingly contrary to fact?"

Edward H. Gleason wrote: “Baum's attempt to close out debate goes against all my scientific training, and to hear this from my ACS is certainly alarming to me...his use of 'climate-change deniers' to pillory scientists who do not believe climate change is a crisis is disingenuous and unscientific.”

Atmospheric Chemist Roger L. Tanner: "I have very little in common with the philosophy of the Heartland Institute and other 'free-market fanatics,' and I consider myself a progressive Democrat. Nevertheless, we scientists should know better than to propound scientific truth by consensus and to excoriate skeptics with purple prose."

William Tolley: "I take great offense that Baum would use Chemical and Engineering News, for which I pay dearly each year in membership dues, to purvey his personal views and so glibly ignore contrary information and scold those of us who honestly find these views to be a hoax."

William E. Keller wrote: “However bitter you (Baum) personally may feel about CCDs (climate change deniers), it is not your place as editor to accuse them—falsely—of nonscientific behavior by using insultingly inappropriate language. [...] The growing body of scientists, whom you abuse as sowing doubt, making up statistics, and claiming to be ignored by the media, are, in the main, highly competent professionals, experts in their fields, completely honorable, and highly versed in the scientific method—characteristics that apparently do not apply to you.”

ACS member Wallace Embry: “I would like to see the American Chemical Society Board 'cap' Baum's political pen and 'trade' him to either the New York Times or Washington Post."

RECESSION EASING - NO THANKS TO PORKULUS!

AP:
The economy sank at a pace of just 1 percent in the second quarter of the year, a new government report shows. It was a better-than-expected showing that provided the strongest signal yet that the longest recession since World War II is finally winding down.

AND ONLY 10% OF THE STIMULUS HAS BEEN SPENT. AND IT'S STIMULATING BUPKUS!

REPEAL THE PORK!

RESCIND THE STIMULUS!

"PEACE PROCESS" IS A SHAM: FATAH WILL NEVER ACCEPT ISRAEL OR CEASE WAR

INN:
Senior members of Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah have announced that their group will never recognize Israel, and will continue to call for war against Israel. “Fatah does not recognize Israel's right to exist, nor have we ever asked others to do so,” said senior Fatah member RafikNatsheh, a close associate of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Media reports, according to which Fatah has recognized Israel and has called on Hamas to do the same, are false, Natsheh said in an interview with the pan-Arab daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi. “It's all media nonsense. We don't ask other factions to recognize Israel; we ourselves do not recognize Israel,” he said.

Fatah controls the PA in Judea and Samaria, and is the party of Abbas. Unlike the rival breakaway PA led by Hamas in Gaza, the Fatah-led PA has agreed to recognize Israel, although it will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

The PA recognizes Israel because if it did not, it would not be able to “serve the Palestinian people,” Natsheh explained. However, Fatah does not have such constraints.

Not only will Fatah never recognize Israel, but it will never end its call for armed struggle against Israel, he said. “Let those who are deluding themselves hear: this will never happen,” he said.

A second senior Fatah member, Azzam el-Ahmed, agreed that Fatah would not drop its call to wage war on Israel.

ISRAEL SHOULD HAVE ANNEXED THE SO-CALLED TERRITORIES IN 1967 - AND EXPELLED THE ARABS.

NOW THEY SHOULD DO A "VIRTUAL EXPULSION": DEMAND THAT ARABS IN GREATER ISRAEL LEAVE OR ACCEPT AD HOC JORDANIAN CITIZENSHIP AND STAY AS RESIDENT ALIENS - WITHOUT VOTING PRIVILEGES.

OBAMA'S POLICIES INCREASE AFGHAN CIVILIAN DEATHS BY 24% SO FAR THIS YEAR

BBC:
The number of civilians killed in the conflict in Afghanistan so far this year has risen by 24% compared with the same period last year, the UN says.

More than 1,000 people were killed in the first six months of the year, according to a UN report.

It blamed insurgents for using increasingly deadly modes of attack. It also said air strikes by government-allied forces were responsible.

OBAMA ESCAPES BLAME.

WHY? HE'S A LEFTIE, SO THE LEFTWING DOMINATED MSM/UN/NGO'S DON'T DARE CRITICIZE HIM FOR THE VERY SAME THINGS THEY CRUCIFIED BUSH FOR.

EVIL HYPOCRITES.

Justice, Obama/Holder-Style


By Andy McCarthy at NRO (H/T: Creeping Sharia)
    • Binyam Mohammed: jihadist plotting mass-murders against American cities — released outright.

    • Laith Qazali: abduction/murder of five U.S. soldiers in Karbala — released outright.

    • Irbil 5: Iranian IRGC operatives (i.e., the same guys who murdered 19 of our air force at Khobar Towers in '96) coordinating Iraqi terrorist operations that have killed HUNDREDS of U.S. forces in Iraq since 2003 — released outright.

    • New Black Panther Party operatives on videotape intimidating anti-Obama voters — charges dropped after DOJ had already won the case.


    • Bush officials who deliberated over national-security policies that prevented another 9/11 (many of which the Holder/Obama DOJ have defended in court and, however inadvertently, in Congress) — under investigation.

    • CIA Interrogators who obtained information that saved countless American lives — under investigation.

    • Yeah, they also:
    Andy McCarthy might have forgotten, but not this bitter voter, clinging to her guns and her religion, which they obviously detest. (Great rundown by Lee Greenfield on Obama's attempts to destroy Israel at that last link.)

    NIGERIAN TERRORIST LEADER KILLED

    But the so-called Human Rights Watch is trying to obscure his evil deeds and takes sides with him:
    MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – The leader of the Islamist sect blamed for days of violence in northern Nigeria has been shot and killed while in police custody, officials said Thursday.

    The police commander of Borno state announced on state radio that Mohammed Yusuf, the leader of the sect some call the Nigerian Taliban, has "died in police custody."

    He gave no further explanation, but the state governor's spokesman Usman Ciroma told The Associated Press: "I saw his body at police headquarters. I believe he was shot while he was trying to escape."

    Yusuf's death could provoke more violence, though his followers in the Boko Haram sect may be in disarray after troops shelled his compound in the northern city of Maiduguri on Wednesday. Yusuf, 39, managed to escape with about 300 followers, some of them armed. His deputy, Bukar Shekau, was killed in the attack, according to Army commander Maj. Gen. Saleh Maina.

    Troops killed about 100 militants by an AP reporter's count, half of them inside the sect's mosque. Soldiers then launched a manhunt, and Yusuf was reportedly found in a goat's pen at the home of his in-laws.

    Human Rights Watch called reports of Yusuf's killing "extremely worrying."

    "The Nigerian authorities must act immediately to investigate and hold to account all those responsible for this unlawful killing and any others associated with the recent violence in northern Nigeria," said Corinne Dufka, the group's senior West Africa researcher.

    "The local commissioner of police should be immediately removed pending an investigation into Mr. Yusuf's killing," she said in a statement.
    HRW is clearly a terror supporter themselves, if they care more about a terrorist than his victims.
    Seeking to impose Islamic Shariah law throughout this multi-religious country, the militants attacked police stations, churches, prisons and government buildings in a wave of violence that began Sunday in Borno and quickly spread to three other northern states.

    But, leading Nigerian rights groups accuse security forces of killing bystanders and other civilians. A military spokesman denied the charge and said it was impossible for rights workers to tell who was a civilian and who was a member of Boko Haram, which means "Western education is sin" in the local Hausa language.
    Of course these so-called rights groups would make limp accusations like that. If this terror cell did vicious things like those, they deserve whatever they got.
