Man's Influence on Climate Modeling is Astronomical...

Man's influence on climate? Not so much.

Pushing for Option "1"...

There are only three ways in which government and religion can interact:

1) Government can reject religion: the end result is the unrestrained rationalization of each choice by leaders such as, Mao, Stalin, Hitler, North Korea...etc

2) Government can embrace a single religion: The end result is better than option "1" as the leaders are constrained by the religions that empower them, but the result is still poor as the Islamic nations of the world currently prove. History likewise points to choosing singular faiths within Christianity as a poor choice as well, as does WWII Japan's choice.

3) Lastly, government can embrace all religions allowing social choices regarding those religions to be reflected through governance via the political process: This was the choice of the founders of the US. The result of this historically secular choice can be seen in the US until the last 40 years, during which liberals, Democrats, Communists, and progressives have pushed for option "1".

Jimmy Carter is not Charlie Hebdo, Blames Attacks the Jews ...

Jimmy Carter, Democrat, on John Stewart:



"Well, one of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem. And this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza, what they are doing now — what’s being done to them. So I think that’s part of it.”

No. The Founders did Not Reject Religion ...

One of the more interesting aspects of Democrats is their belief, that the Enlightenment rejected religion. It did not. The Enlightenment embraced reason over superstition but in no way rejected religion.

For example, when crafting our representative republic our founders' goal was to ensure all perspectives of all individual concerns were respected, after all the Enlightenment made virtuous what we understand today to be individual primacy.

If the concerns of all of society were to be reflected in governance then rejecting the concerns of the religious would have been unreasonable, in other words, unenlightened.

Yet Democrats argue just that point, that the founders rejected religion, as though that argument reflects Enlightenment virtue when if fact it reflects the unenlightened irrationality of one not only arguing against a representative republic by excluding the concerns of the religious, but in so doing rejects the primacy of the individual as well.

No Home for Charlie Hebdo in Our Leftist College Gardens...

Would Charlie Hebdo have found a home publishing in any of our colleges? I doubt it. They would have been silenced by the leftest nature of our colleges. But where the left succeeds, Muslim Terrorists have created martyrs for free speech. These terrorists have a lot to learn from leftists.

A Conversation With Newt Gingrich

A Conversation With Newt Gingrich:

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich appears on the latest episode of Conversations With Bill Kristol:

No Amnesty Executive Orders? Really?

Not sure what to make of this....

Sessions at the 40 second mark:

And Via WND:

NEW YORK – It’s common knowledge President Obama signed an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to forgive millions of illegal aliens for their past violations of immigration law, right? 

Wrong. 

Today the National Archives and Records Administration, responsible for maintaining such filings, said no such executive order was ever signed or filed, confirming WND’s report Wednesday. 

A National Archives librarian, Jeffrey Hartley, made the confirmation in an email Thursday to WND. 

“As I indicated, it would appear that there is not an Executive Order stemming from the President’s remarks on November 20 on immigration,” Hartley wrote. 

Hartley said that neither of the executive orders Obama signed in Las Vegas the day after his announcement fulfill his plan to defer deportations and grant work permits to up to 5 million illegal aliens. 

“The only two documents that I have located are two Presidential Memoranda, which are available from the White House site,” Hartley’s email continued. “They can also be found in the November 26, 2014 issue of the Federal Register.”

Did Our President Just Claim a Mandate from the Non Voting American?

Obama today:

“To everyone that voted, I want you to know that I heard you” ... “To two-thirds of voters that chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

Sigh...

The NYT Goes unAmerican...again...

Via the NYT:

"The main impact of the midterm election in the modern era has been to weaken the president, the only government official (other than the powerless vice president) elected by the entire nation. Since the end of World War II, the president’s party has on average lost 25 seats in the House and about 4 in the Senate as a result of the midterms. This is a bipartisan phenomenon — Democratic presidents have lost an average of 31 House seats and between 4 to 5 Senate seats in midterms; Republican presidents have lost 20 and 3 seats, respectively."

Americans recognize that a Constitution that endeavors to limit federal government power restrains Democrats.  This is a feature to Americans, a bug to Democrats.

Yeah, Democrats Shamelessly Raised 3/5 to 95% ...

...but this woman say no more.

Co-opting Marriage, Redefining it, and Forcing it on Others --- Establishment

Is it not interesting that if one student prays while on school grounds they are somehow establishing a state religion and are thus barred from their individual religious liberty...


...but the state can co-opt a religious ceremony, redefine it, force other religions and religious individuals to abide by it, and it not be an establishment issue?
