Cash-for-Clunkers
Program an Environmental Dud
"The total savings per year from cash
for clunkers translates to about 57 minutes of America’s
annual output of CO2"
Obama
continues thugging from White House
"Barack Obama and his astroturfing band
of “community organizers” are losing this battle,
and they are losing it despite employing every tool at their
disposal, from “community organizing,” to mobilizing
union thugs to physically harm dissidents, to attempting to
silence political opponents by calling on Americans to turn
in their fellow citizens to the government for political disagreement"
Obama's
thugs get violent at peaceful health care protests
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative
activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those
arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don't tread
on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from
the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where
he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee,
back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack.
Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black
man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.

"The thirteen gleaming new stations feature

away from the light rail line and then to board a train to get
to work downtown will face a fine of $44 and potential towing--
with additional charges, of course"
Peer-Reviewed
Study Rocks Climate Debate
"When climate models failed to retrospectively
produce the temperatures since 1950 the modellers added some
estimated influences of carbon dioxide to make up the shortfall"
Feds
spend $80 billion, still can't prove Global Warming
"The large expenditure designed to prove
the non-existent connection between carbon and climate has created
a powerful alliance of self-serving vested interests"
Update:
Obama sides with oppressive dictators
"Zelaya's actions were expressly forbidden
by the Honduran constitution. Article 239 specifically states
that any president who so much as proposes the permissibility
of reelection 'shall cease forthwith' in his duties, and Article
4 provides that any 'infraction' of the succession rules constitutes
treason."
Wind

Germany:

now been damaged by a geothermal project gone awry."

"So many people need not have died so horribly.

intent on whipping up a lynch mob to divert attention from their

lamp-posts but greenies."
Alaska
witholds "Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet" documents
"..it's pretty odd that the State of Alaska
could withhold documents from the public about a commission
that will go a long way towards influencing its policies on
energy, environment, property rights, taxes, the state budget,
land use, education, and just about every other public policy
area."
Transit
spending just more wasteful pork
"..both transit and urban rail had been
grossly oversold. It has not, anywhere, materially or sustainably
reduced traffic congestion. Its cost structure is so out of
control that the average mile traveled by a passenger in the
United States has risen to about four times as much.. as every
mile traveled by car."

“The most glaring and most troubling

reasons – take an adversarial position against property
owners and their rights."
