Obama flip-flops on whether Iranian Revolutionary Guard is terrorist organization

Less than a year ago, he said they weren’t.  A couple of days ago, he said our military’s presence has strengthened Iran.  Today while pandering for Jewish votes, he flip-flopped.

Over 3/4 of his Senate colleagues voted to designate the IRG as a terrorist organization.  Considering they’ve been aiding the Iraqi insurgency and killing our soldiers, such a designation is well deserved.  But a scant few months ago, the Obamessiah, trying to shore up his moonbat base, tied a “Yes” vote with a neo-con war plan that is non-existent.  If the intent was to authorize military force against Iran, how did it earn the support of that many Democrats (including Reid, Schumer, and Durbin)?  Did Osamabama even bother to read the d@mned bill?

If the guy doesn’t have a hair on his nad sack to stand on his principles in the face of Jewish voters, how in the blue hell can he be expected to confront the evil that threatens this country today?  What a puss!

May’s global temperatures plummet

Damn that global “warming”!  Watts Up with That:

Confirming what many of us have already noted from the anecdotal evidence coming in of a much cooler than normal May, such as late spring snows as far south as Arizona, extended skiing in Colorado, and delays in snow cover melting in many parts of the northern hemisphere, the University of Alabama, Huntsville (UAH) published their satellite derived Advanced Microwave Sounder Unit data set of the Lower Troposphere for May 2008.

It is significantly colder globally, colder even than the significant drop to -0.046°C seen in January 2008.

The global ∆T from April to May 2008 was -.195°C

UAH
2008 1 -0.046
2008 2 0.020
2008 3 0.094
2008 4 0.015
2008 5 -0.180

Compared to the May 2007 value of 0.199°C we find a 12 month ∆T is -.379°C.

But even more impressive is the change since the last big peak in global temperature in January 2007 at 0.594°C, giving a 16 month ∆T of -0.774°C which is equal in magnitude to the generally agreed upon “global warming signal” of the last 100 years. …

As one of his commenters noted:

Based on UAH LT temperature data from ~1980 to end April 2008 and pre-1980 ST data from Hadcrut3, I recently stated that there was no net global warming since ~1940, in spite of an almost 800% increase in humanmade CO2 emissions.

The May 2008 decline of an additional ~0.2C in the UAH global average LT temperature further reinforces this conclusion.

Furthermore, it is clear that CO2 lags temperature at all measured time scales, from ice core data spanning thousands of years to sub-decadal trends.

This data consistently suggests that the sensitivity of global temperature to increased atmospheric CO2 is near-zero, and there is no human-made catastrophic global warming crisis.

Boy, it’s a good thing the environuts are ignoring all this scientific evidence in order to wreck our economy, huh?

PETA sets up “Lobster Empathy Centers”

If I had to guess, I would say that PETA sits around thinking “Say, we haven’t been in the news in a while.  What can we do to grab headlines in a way that reduces us to more of a caricature than we already are?”  Inevitably, one of the non-bathing  @sshats in the room wearing a burlap shirt has his/her/its ephiphany while scarfing down an organic trail mix bar and comes up with ideas like this.

Quips Ace:

The last thought every lobster has as it realizes it’s caught in a trap is “Damnit, and I had such a good thing going on here, too.”

Heh.

Boxer: I can’t think of a better time to raise taxes than during a recession

Ignoring the obvious fact that we’re not in a recession, let’s focus on this bit of economic illiteracy from the batty boob by the Bay, Babs Boxer:

Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), the chairman of the Environment & Public Works Committee, declared in her opening floor speech today that a “recession is the precise time to” enact the Lieberman-Warner global warming cap-and-trade bill because it “brings us hope.”

The Lieberman-Warner global warming bill would have many consequences, but “hope” is not among them. The Cleveland Plain Dealer editorialized on June 1, that the bill “will just bore new holes into an already battered economy.” American workers, already suffering from a weakening economy, skyrocketing home energy, and gas prices would face more economic pain under the bill. With average gas prices across the country approaching or at $4 a gallon, the Senate’s global warming “de-stimulus” bill will further drive up the cost at the pump.

Despite these economic woes, Senator Boxer claimed that now is the “precise time” to pass a bill that will raise energy prices. “Why do this [the Lieberman-Warner bill] now? We’re in a recession. Precisely because we’re in a recession is why we should be doing this. This bill is the first thing that brings us hope,” Senator Boxer said during her opening remarks on the Senate floor today.

Friggin’ brilliant.  With prices of everything rising and disposable income down, the left wants you to have even less while the imperial federal government gets more.  It’s not just “tax the rich” this time…it’s “tax the poor“, too!

comPost columnist: racism OK if it helps MY guy

Liberal columnist Richard Cohen for the plummeting Washington comPost detests racism in this campaign…except for the kind that drives votes to Barry O.  Observe:

… I loathe above all the resurgence of racism — or maybe it is merely my appreciation of the fact that it is wider and deeper than I thought. I am stunned by the numbers of people who have come out to vote against Barack Obama because he is black. I am even more stunned that many of these people have no compunction about telling a pollster they voted on account of race — one in five whites in Kentucky, for instance. Those voters didn’t even know enough to lie, which is what, if you look at the numbers, others probably did in other states. Such honesty ought to be commendable. It is, instead, frightening.

I acknowledge that some people can find nonracial reasons to vote against Obama — his youth, his inexperience, his uber-liberalism and, of course, his willingness to abide his minister’s admiration for a racist demagogue (Louis Farrakhan) until it was way, way too late. But for too many people, Obama is first and foremost a black man and is rejected for that reason alone. This is very sad.

Well, thanks for throwing us that bone, RC!  But…

…Yes, voter participation is way up and in the end, the Democrats will choose a woman or an African American and, to invoke that tiresome phrase, history will be made. 

Hmmm.  Racism (and sexism) are bad, but it’s great that people are choosing a candidate because of race or gender?  Barry O has secured the votes of over 90% of black Americans this primary season, and only a fool would argue that these voters aren’t supporting him because he’s black.  Far more people are voting for him because he’s black than against him because he’s black.  But one may infer that according to Cohen, a vote for Obama because of his blackness is good, but a vote against him because of his blackness is abominable.  I agree with the latter conclusion, but certainly not the former.

Cohen rattles off a list of non-racial reasons that people (such as me and others here) will not vote for the Obamessiah.  I would add the following to that list: Obama’s lethal naivete, his defeatist attitude, his inability to recognize the enemies of this country, his pathological lying tendencies (or, for the more charitable, his “amazing tendencies to commit gaffe after gaffe”), his Marxist underpinnings, his moonbatty wife, his relationship with vermin…I could go on.  But what irks me is that Cohen acknowledges such reasons exist, yet he fails to accept the reality that 95+% of those who will vote against Barry O are doing so for these non-racial reasons.
