  1. Re:There's only one clear choice. on Wikipedia Edits Forecast Romney's Vice Presidential Pick · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Reid will not comment on the matter unless he his on the floor of the Senate. This is because Reid is protected from being sued for telling a lie as long as he is on the Senate floor. You wont see him repeating his lies on the Sunday shows because he can be personally sued for making false statements.

    Hahaha..
    The latest polls have spotted Obama 11 points in the sample to put Obama 4 points ahead of Romney. I'm not a fan of Obama (because he sucks at his job) and I'm not a fan of Romney (because he only would suck only slightly less than Obama), but you would have to think that Democrats would vote at a higher rate than they did in 2008 to produce the predicted results.

    If you think that's mood of the country, good, it will be that much easier to kick Obama out if you are delusional.

    NASA was created to combat the USSR threat. I'm not disagreeing about the US needing to get itself out of the world police business, but an anti-war pro NASA post kind of makes me laugh.

    So thanks to Government natural gas production is up? In what world? The Government has been caught off guard and is rushing around trying to impose regulations to stop exploration based on no science at all. The private sector exploited the resources so quickly it has changed the peoples views of energy.

    Look at Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia where it was illegal to have personal firearms. Hundreds of millions are killed by governments that have strict gun laws. Liberty always has a cost.

    I think the most 'effective' killing ever done on mass scale was actually with machetes in Africa. My problem with gun control is the phrase 'we need stricter gun control laws' is about as detailed as anyone gets. When you ask anyone what gun control laws would have stopped this event no one can articulate anything meaningful.

    I'm not saying it's a good idea, but you will never convince me that paying a carbon tax somehow makes my ice cream melt slower. Stop trying to demean people and stop trying to take their money and maybe they will listen. Climate Evangelists don't want people to listen, they want them to obey.

  16. Re:Headline should say... on Nature: Global Temperatures Are a Falling Trend · · Score: 2

    If you look at the graph there were similar peaks like the recent one.
    Basically what you are doing is saying "it's warm today, thus global warming" what the chart is saying is that historically it's been warmer and relative spikes in average temperature are not uncommon.
    You still only focus on the very end of the graph, the rest of the graph will show you it is not abnormal.

    No amount of logic will ever stop the climate evangelists. If there ever were legitimate concerns with the amount of C02 humans create it has been lost in the creation of the Green Religion where no one longer cares about facts or science. There is too much money to be made by hyping global warming and that gravy train will not be allowed to end.
    Now I will let everyone tell me how X amount of scientists agree and Y amount of scientists that disagree don't count because they are not the right kind of scientists. This is all part of the game. Only climate evangelists are qualified to prove or disprove global warming........ *sigh*

    So if I knock over a char-coal grill it's an accident, but if sport shooting a fire starts I'm 100% liable? You wonder why no gun owner trusts gun legislation when your can't even have a rational conversation with people like you.

    Char-coal grill being knocked over carries the same liability, which is nearly none. This is why insurance exists, because unintended events do happen.

    President Obama gave the guns to the Mexican drug cartels. Gun shop owners had to be convinced by the US government to participate in the 'sting' that really wasn't a sting.
    What kind of gun regulation would have prevented this?
    Other than this indecent when has sport shooting EVER caused a fire? Local authorities want to restrict sport shooting during dry times of the year, that's up to them.

    Your hysteria is non-sense, your bias is obvious and YOU are the reason gun owners don't trust legislative action against the 2nd amendment. If you can't have a rational conversation, how can we expect you to have rational legislation?

    You want to see frothing about gas prices look back at the Bush administration and how every media outlet and liberal hack, like yourself, blamed Bush all day long.
    The president can control perception on US oil exploration (US gov't owns much of the oil in the here), speculation is that US production will increase, prices go down. By your own logic the president DOES control some of the effects on prices.

  25. Re:Fall, really? on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 1

    Obama can only be blamed for production on gov't land, which does account for nearly 50% of the land making up the US. Production on gov't land has gone down during the Obama administration and the perception Obama has put out is that the US will not be exploiting her resources.
    Can't blame any president for gas prices, but the office does play a role.
