Alternative reasons for climate change?

Alan Caruba: The Epicenter of Anti-Semitism

Warning Signs  "The UN’s role in the furtherance of global anti-Semitism is so manifest it is impossible to ignore. Its sponsorship of the Durban conferences, allegedly to oppose racism, has fostered the most egregious anti-Semitism. In September 2009, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the conference and repeated every tired lie about Judaism and Jews. Out of 192 UN members, only eleven got up and left. The United States and Israel had chosen not to attend. "

Anti-Semitism in the United Nations  "As a result of such bias, the UN has lost credibility. It is no surprise that the Oslo agreements were negotiated outside of, and contained no role for, the UN. Though Israel has been the subject of aggressive wars in 1948, 1967 and 1973 and the victim of countless terrorist attacks, the Security Council and the General Assembly have never once censured its assailants.'  By Morris B. Abram,  Chairman, United Nations Watch

Why Can Academics Study 'Islamophobia' But Not Anti-Semitism?  "In our view, "Islamophobia" hardly deserves any academic attention compared to the much more serious phenomenon of anti-Semitism. According to the German scholar of anti-Semitism Clemens Heni, "Anti-Semitism, with its irrational, implacably genocidal dimension, is totally different [from Islamophobia]….[T]here are some Islamicists who openly advocate the takeover of Europe, the West and the world….[T]he Jews have never had or claimed such a goal.""

Rubio: Obama Using Language Of “Leader Of A Third-World Country”

Obama continues his war on cheap American energy

American Thinker  "Barack Obama's EPA has been on a crusade to kill off efforts to boost America's domestic energy supplies. We are now among the least attractive nations for energy companies seeking to explore and develop energy supplies. The American people are waking up to the man-made disaster that Barack Obama has created."
A god or a flake?  "In less than three years of his administration, this "god" is falling from the sky, and indications are he will hit the ground with a sickening thud. Economic devastation is everywhere on the American landscape; we are teetering on the brink of a depression; he has insulted the British by returning a bust of Winston Churchill; he has alienated our ally Israel by telling them where their borders should be (they don't know, he knows), and has embarrassed himself by muffing a toast to Queen Elizabeth."

But like Maxwell Smart or Inspector Clouseau, Obama continues as if he did nothing wrong.

That press conference: Obama’s ‘Pants on Fire’

Heritage  Obama said:
What I have done — and this is unprecedented, by the way; no administration has done this before — is I’ve said to each agency, ‘Don’t just look at current regulations or don’t just look at future regulations, regulations that we’re proposing. Let’s go backwards and look at regulations that are already on the books and if they don’t make sense, let’s get rid of them.”


...."Eliminating unnecessary regulation is good policy, and with a mountain of new rules imposed in the realm of health care, banking, the Internet and the environment, the President is well advised to stop feeding the regulatory beast. But he would also be well advised not to make bold proclamations that are blatantly false, especially when he bears responsibility for the problems he claims to be solving.?

Politifact on Obama's claim. "Obama claims that his administration is doing something unprecedented -- "no administration has done this before," he said -- by having each agency review existing regulations, with an eye toward eliminating ones that don't make sense. Lots of presidents have done that. We rate Obama's statement Pants On Fire."
Will the press call him on it? What do you think?

Boortz Press Conference   "For those of you who missed my version of Barack Obama’s press conference, you’re in luck! You can listen to it right here [14:24]. Too bad Barack Obama is too busy to listen … he could stand to learn a few things."

Communist Party USA Throws Its Support Behind Obama, Democrats In 2012…

Weasel Zippers "CPUSA chief Sam Webb tells us why they will continue to support Obama and the Democrats in 2012. Hint: It’s because Republicans are more evil."  WZ then cites this article  from People's World.

Which flag do you see in this Obama campaign office in 2008?

And this flag across from the White House on inauguration day?
