Climate Change NOT!
Science Daily is reporting that new research indicates that there has been no rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide in 160 years.
Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere.
…Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol reanalyzed available atmospheric carbon dioxide and emissions data since 1850 and considers the uncertainties in the data.
In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.
Any United Nations or global mandates for climate change treaties or taxes is illegal because global warming and climate change is a hoax.
Rush Is Fine and Back To Work On Monday
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh is fine and will be back to the golden microphone on Monday. Rush said that the United States has the best health care in the world. Having experienced health care myself for the last four months – I can tell you that it’s true.
Thank you, God for delivering Rush from the jaws (and hatemongering fingers) of his enemies.
Prayers Go Up For Rush While Left Froth With Glee
Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.
Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said.Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen’s Medical Center in serious condition.
Please continue to pray for Rush Limbaugh. The Leftwing lunatic fringe and MSM’s are salivating at the prospect of the death of the bane of their existance. Hatemongering and vitriole is a liberal trait, not conservative.
UPDATE: 1:30am Hospital is reporting that Rush is resting comfortably. Sleep well, my friend. Get better soon.
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh’s website reports:
Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital today and is resting comfortably after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and wll wishes. He will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on Thursday’s radio program.
Climate Change Another YK2 Mistake?
If only we could get Al Gore to disappear for a decade. YK2 expert Edward Yardeni admits he made a mistake.

For A Child Is Born
In a Fox News editorial, Rev Bill Shuler writes:
Christmas compels us to remember what matters most, in a world that too often forgets. The people and places central to the Christmas narrative have a message that is as relevant today as it was on the very first Christmas.
10 reminders at Christmas time:
1. Mary reminds us that even though you may feel vulnerable and shut out, God has not abandoned you.
2. The stable is a reminder that God’s blessings are often hidden in unexpected places.
3. The wise men remind us that God is often found where others fail to look.
4. A manger reminds us that God’s touch brings dignity to the ordinary.
5. A crowded inn reminds us that God only enters where he is invited.
6. The shepherds remind us that the good news of the Christ child came first to the lowly.
7. Herod reminds us that no enemy of the truth will triumph.
8. Joseph reminds us that each act of obedience is vital to the success of God’s plans.
9. The angel, Gabriel, reminds us that nothing is impossible with God.
10. Bethlehem reminds us that Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled with the birth of Jesus. (Micah 5:2)
Coca-Cola The Real World
Who doesn’t love Coca-cola? I love the taste. I love the little 100-calorie cans that help me keep my weight under control. It’s my favorite soft drink but the Coca-cola corporation is not starting the new year on my good list. Why? Because Obamanomics has hit the middle class again in the pocketbook.
Coca-cola has repackaged the 100-calorie cans again to make them taller but there’s a catch. Two weeks ago the cans were 8 ounces. The new skinnier cans are the same price: 3 – 8 packs for $10.00 at Publix but unless you’re real sharp or a penny-pincher, you don’t notice that the cans are now only 7.5 ounces.
Coca-Cola knows they in the next few years, the company is going to have to pay more for ingredients, packaging, employees, insurance. They need to cut their expenses and charge more for less because they have to pay more. It’s called Obamanomics.
Coca-Cola, how do you feel about supporting Obama now and promoting more taxes on the world with your Hopenhagen cap and tax? Is it because you’re going to take those taxes right out of the mouths of Americans?
Take a good look at your food costs over the next year. The price is going to skyrocket. That’s middle class taxes, alright. If I could teach the world something, it would be about how Coca-Cola is not the real thing.
Rock The Vote: Obama’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda
With the latest Rock The Vote filthy promotion, LIES and propaganda by the corrupt Obama Administration proselytize our youth. Even their parents don’t get it: “Well, children need to know about sex at an early age, or they will learn about it on the playground from little Sally.” When you counter logically with ‘no, they don’t have to know about sex at an early age, you get: “I don’t have enough time to worry about what Obama is doing, I will worry about it later”…or “I don’t want to think negatively”, and finally the exasperated cliche, “We will be okay.”
Along with NEA’s efforts, Rock the Vote shows the evil and corruption of Obama’s administration. They don’t care about your children or basic values of a healthy family. In comparison to Hollywood’s and the NEA’s support of Obama, Adolf Hitler too, created and manipulated his own German version of Hollywood. Directed by Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda promoted Hitler’s vision of a socialist world controlled by a fascist idealogue.
How Hitler Was Able To Rise To Power
Comparison of Hitler and Obama
Young adults are ignorant of the facts that they will be the ones who will pay for this health care debacle in more ways than one. The very sitting ducks of Rock the Vote will not only never see the take-home pay of their parents that would enable them to buy their own home, but young adults, their future progeny, and their grandchildren will be owned their entire lives by China for the debt of Obamacare.
The Wall Street Journal published the WellPoint Studies that show how Obamacare increases costs.
Analysis of Health Care Costs
Healthy 25-yr old Milwaukee, WI Costs go up 178% Small Business Richmond, VA Costs go up 86% 40 year old couple with 2 kids Indianapolis, IN Costs go up 106%
The WSJ article explains:
In fact, what distinguishes the Wellpoint study is its detailed rigor. Take Ohio, where a young, healthy 25-year-old living in Columbus can purchase insurance from WellPoint today for about $52 per month in the individual market. WellPoint’s actuaries calculate the bill will rise to $79 because Democrats are going to require it to issue policies to anyone who applies, even if they’ve waited until they’re sick to buy insurance. Then they’ll also require the company to charge everyone nearly the same rate, bringing the premium to $134. Add in an extra $17, since Democrats will require higher benefit levels, and a share of the new health industry taxes ($6), and monthly premiums have risen to $157, a 199% boost.Meanwhile, a 40-year-old husband and wife with two kids would see their premiums jump by 122%—to $737 from $332—while a small business with eight employees in Franklin County would see premiums climb by 86%. It’s true that the family or the individual might qualify for subsidies if their incomes are low enough, but the business wouldn’t qualify under the Senate Finance bill WellPoint examined. And even if there are subsidies, the new costs the bill creates don’t vaporize. They’re merely transferred to taxpayers nationwide—or financed with deficits, which will be financed eventually with higher taxes.
The story is largely the same from state to state, though the increases are smaller in the few states that have already adopted the same mandates and regulations that Democrats want to impose on all states. For the average small employer in high-cost New York, for instance, premiums would only rise by 6%. But they’d shoot up by 94% for the same employer in Indianapolis, 91% in St. Louis and 53% in Milwaukee.
Democrats have been selling health care as one huge free lunch in which everyone gets better insurance while paying less. But the policy facts simply don’t add up, and Democrats are attacking WellPoint because they don’t want anyone to understand what their health-care schemes will mean in practice. Democrats know that if the public is given the facts and the time to consider them, Americans might demand that Democrats stop pushing the country off this cliff and start all over.
When “low income” people pay no taxes, they will always be poor. That’s why Obama and the Democrats want them on welfare, supposedly so they never need to be worried about anything. They will be taken care of…and if or when they are no longer worthy of service to the government, they will be aborted and euthanized. When you pay taxes, you have no say-so.
The government giveth and the government taketh away. Rock that.
