Here too, from 2009: Al Gore: Polar Ice Caps will melt in 5-7 years   "New computer modeling suggests the Arctic Ocean may be nearly ice-free in the summertime as early as 2014, Al Gore said Monday at the U.N. climate conference. This new projection, following several years of dramatic retreat by polar sea ice, suggests that the ice cap may nearly vanish in the summer much sooner than the year 2030, as was forecast by a U.S. government agency eight months ago.

"One U.S. government scientist Monday questioned the new prediction as too severe, but other researchers previously have projected a quicker end than 2030 to the Arctic summer ice cap."...

Former U.S. Vice President Gore said, “It is hard to capture the astonishment that the experts in the science of ice felt when they saw this.”
Gore and a group of Scandinavian officials and scientists have come together for the two-week conference.

Polygamy and Phil Robertson

The American Culture  "It seems that those who championed the redefinition of marriage to make gender arbitrary are now starting to get exactly what they said wouldn’t happen, the old slippery slope to polygamy. It is of course the logical conclusion of their position, and with a recent court ruling on polygamy in Utah the conclusion is coming to fruition. You can find the details in this WSJ article titled, “America’s Polygamous Future.”

"I can’t tell you how many articles and blogs I’ve read over the last several years where someone who was arguing for redefining marriage to include people of the same gender argued just as strongly against polygamy. Their problem is that it simply can’t be had both ways."
In sum:
... "So my question: since marriage is now obviously a malleable social institution, is it not unfair and unjust to outlaw polygamy? By what principal would anyone be able to say polygamy should be outlawed? What makes two so special that marriage should be limited to that number? If marriage is open to definition I dare anyone who supports same gender marriage to prove otherwise?"

Even Mainstream Media Turns on Obama


The American Culture  "We call this mainstream media bias. It seems, though, that the Obamacare disaster has not only soured the American people on the president, but even the mainstream media has become critical. The many egregious blunders and power grabs of this administration have even become too much for them to ignore. A shocking headline I read recently in the quintessential mainstream media organ, The New York Times, brought this home: “Obama’s Orwellian Image Control.” And there have also been recent stories of anger in the White House press corps regarding access for photographers. I also heard, amazingly enough, a story on NPR about what a horrible year it has been for Obama."

Terrorists Take Fallujah; Obama Doesn’t Care

Powerline   "The Obama administration has been disgraceful in so many ways that it is hard to keep track of them all, but surely one of the worst is its treatment of Iraq. Following his inauguration, President Obama withdrew troops from Iraq on the timetable that had been agreed to by the Bush administration. But as the draw-down continued, and it became apparent that security would worsen dangerously in the absence of American power, he refused to consider leaving even a small contingent of troops to help the Iraqi government resist terrorist forces. The result is that Iraq, like Syria, Egypt and Libya, has been under siege by Islamic terrorists."
 
 

Eric Holder directly responsible for release of Lynne Stewart who aided Blind Sheik

Noisy Room


NY Judge Orders 'Compassionate Release' Of Terror Lawyer Lynne Stewart
"The request said that Stewart was entitled to a compassionate release because she had been diagnosed with a terminal, incurable illness, and given less than 18 months to live."
 
Learning from Lynne Stewart  "Sharon Chadha did a good job of telling Stewart’s story in “Lynne Stewart, jihadi lawyer.” It is a story that illustrates the weird convergence between radical Islam and the radical left, united in their hatred of the United States."

From Middle East Quarterly in 2006:  Lynne Stewart, Jihadi Lawyer   "The
charges against Stewart are an epilogue to the conviction of her client. Many Americans first learned of the blind sheikh when, on February 26, 1993, his followers drove a truck bomb into the World Trade Center. Though the explosion was not as destructive as they planned—Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind, said that he had hoped to kill some 250,000 people—it still left six dead and injured over 1,000 people."

What's with MSNBC, anyway?

Romney: Apology accepted, but …   "As expected, Mitt Romney took the high road on Fox News Sunday regarding MSNBC’s attack on his family and Melissa Harris-Perry’s apology – but not without a bit of scolding from both Romney and Fox News anchor Chris Wallace." ...



Rachel Maddow is part of the new matriarchy running NBC News behind the scenes.   ... "Few, though, suspect that Harris-Perry will suffer the same fate as her less fortunate colleagues, and MSNBC declined to comment on the matter. That’s because Harris-Perry is part of Maddow’s in-crowd, the liberal, wonkish elite now ascendant at MSNBC.
"Sources say it is Maddow rather than Phil Griffin who provides MSNBC’s editorial direction, and that she also holds considerable sway over personnel decisions." ...

After Harris-Perry Apologized for Racist Romney Comment, MSNBC Renews Claim Tea Party is Racist  ... "On the same show that host Melissa Harris-Perry was forced to apologize for her attack on Mitt Romney's adopted African-American grandson, MSNBC kept up its drumbeat of dealing the race card against its enemies by declaring that the core of tea party is racist."

Kurtz: 'Has MSNBC Developed a Culture in Which Harsh Personal Attacks Are Encouraged?'  "Since that point, the format of "Shoot first, ask questions later" has moved throughout the network's primetime lineup as hosts seem to compete for who can be the most inflammatory.
"Even worse, people such as Chris Matthews - who used to actually be quite a fine host when Hardball began in the '90s on CNBC - bear absolutely no resemblance to their prior on-air personas."

The National Debt in One Picture

Heritage   "Congress is beginning its new year with a budget deal that busts right through “caps” it was supposed to have on spending. At Heritage, we want to hold Congress accountable for its tax-and-spend ways, even as Members claim there’s no room to cut.
"A good place to start is understanding the mountain of debt Americans are already under. Check out and share our infographic below that puts it in perspective."
