Philly voices at today´s
climate change rally in D.C.

Philadelphia Inquirer, by Sandy Bauers

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/17/2013 1:07:28 PM

More than 500 people headed out this morning from Southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey, planning to take part in a climate change rally in Washington, D.C. I´ll be posting some of their quotes here throughout the afternoon. Meanwhile, a bit of background: Organizers are expening about 20,000 or more people to converge on Washington to voice their support for action on climate change and their opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline that would transport oil from the Tar Sands of Canada to the Gulf Coast. The demonstration comes after a week of events in which climate change figured prominently.

Just noticed - C-Span (naturally) is covering this, live.

The Canadians that are working oil sands think that our government is nuts...

If we don´t buy it from them, they are ready to build a pipeline to the Pacific Coast and ship it to the Chinese.

I want the damn pipeline---just paid $4.19 for gas here in Chicago.

These people are idiots, just like their leader!!!

Re: Jim Hart, 71, retired teacher: "! figure this earth is good for about 80 years, and that’s about it."

What was he teaching? Did he not study the hundreds of doomsday predictions of the last 150 to 300 years ago? Does he not know about the earth´s 4 billion years of enormous change? That DC was underwater 25 million years ago? That it´s financially underwater today thanks to Obama supporters like Jim?

If he believes his maddness, what can a bus trip to DC do to reverse the end in 80 years? I know, I know, "We may need two bus trips to save the earth. Darryl Hannah said so."

The use of the derogatory "Tar Sands" description reveals the writer as a propagandist rather than a reporter.

What "events in which climate change figured prominently"? A meteorite? A ship with a broken engine? Senator Rubio drinking water?
Brennan and Hagel making fools of themselves? The Russians snubbing Kerry (her served in Vietnam, doncha know)?

Once again we suffer from the curse of the low-info voter. Since when did science need rallies? Oh yeah, when it has nothing to do with science and everything to do with control.

By the time the lo-fos figure it out, it will be too late.

G-d has a delicious sense of humor. Greeting these climate change freaks in D.C. today will be temps in the low 30´s, NNW winds at 20-30MPH, with gusts to 40 MPH. Excellent wind chill factor for an AGW soiree!

Now remember, protesters, exposed flesh freezes at ? minutes under these conditions, so don´t show your arses too much.

Even Punxsutawney Phil knows there´s climate change and logs in on it every Feb 2. His IQ is double digits above that great energy wizard, Paris Hilton, (You know, "drill baby drill"), who´s IQ is at least double digits above Daryl Hannah´s. That puts DH far into the negative numbers.

Climate change is not the greatest danger to human race. Liberals are. Got to hand it to The Gorbot. He took an obscure scientific hypothesis and turned it into one of the biggest cash cow scams in history. How many times has Balmy Prince Charlie told us we are doomed?

Ya´ gotta´ love it when the idiots get together in large masses to display their stupidity.

One just hopes, given the current intellectual prowess of the US populace - the crowds aren´t large enough to drive ´policy´.

We already have an idiot in the White House doing that, and can only hope he can´t get any more brain-dead in *his* agenda.

Got an email from the ´nonpartisan´ League of Women Voters urging folks to attend the climate change rally. Yet another example of how any organization can be taken over by the left wing - like rats taking over an unguarded granary.

Myself after years of denying it have come to realize that the science of Climate Change is sound not that I think there´s a damn thing we will do about it.

The more we deny the science the more right we prove Bobby Jindal to be. The Republicans do appear as the stupid party in this matter.

Yep, bitter cold, high winds, painful wind chill in DC today. I hope these buffoons get terminal frostbite from all of that global warming flying around out there today.

I guess they never studied the truth about the Medieval Warm Period. Crops flourished, the ´dark ages´ eased, and prosperity abounded. When the climate turned colder, 100 years of famine, plagues, and war settled in. Which do liberals prefer?

It´s a SCAM!

Obama admits he’s a socialist
New York Post, by Kyle Smith    Original Article
Posted By: JoniTx- 5/19/2013 3:59:42 PM     Post Reply
You may be forgiven if you missed it during last week’s tsunami of scandals, but President Obama finally let slip that he is a socialist. Buried in the 17th paragraph of one of those mewling New York Times pieces on the woes of Obama — can we start calling him Woe-bama yet? — appeared these two words: “going Bulworth.” Obama himself, the Times explained, has been “longingly” telling his inner circle that what he’d really like to do is what Sen. Jay Bulworth, played by Warren Beatty in his 1998 movie “Bulworth,” did: to go public as

Appearing on Sunday morning on ABC News’ This Week, White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer told a credulous George Stephanopoulos that the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups was “inexcusable,” and that the law with regard to the activity was “irrelevant.” “I can’t speak to the law here,” he said. “The law is irrelevant. The activity was outrageous and inexcusable, and it was stopped and it needs to be fixed so we ensure it never happens again.” When asked for clarification, Pfeiffer expounded: “What I mean is, whether it’s legal or illegal is not important to the fact

Appearing on CBS’ Face the Nation, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that it was “largely irrelevant” who edited the talking points the Obama administration trotted out in the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. Host Bob Schieffer asked, “That was just a PR plan, to send out somebody who didn’t know anything about what had happened. Why did you do that? Why didn’t the Secretary of State come and tell us what they knew, and if they knew nothing, say ‘We don’t know yet?’ …. Why are you here today?

On Fox News Sunday this morning, White House spokesman Dan Pfeiffer was asked by Chris Wallace where in the White House President Obama was during the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans. “Question,” asked Wallace. “What did the President do the rest of that night to pursue Benghazi?” Pfeiffer answered, “Look, the President was kept up to date on this as it was happening the entire night, from the moment it started until the very end …. I recognize that there’s a series of conspiracy theories Republicans have been spinning about it

Non-deportation rate
drops — to 99.2 percent

The Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama’s new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday. That’s a slight drop from the 99.5 percent approval rate reported last month. The policy, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, grants legal status to most illegal immigrants under the age of 31 who came to the U.S. before age 16 — usually brought by their parents. They are allowed to remain in the U.S. without fear of deportation, and are given work

President Obama on Sunday summoned the graduates of historically black Morehouse College to “transform the way we think about manhood,” urging the young men to avoid the temptation to make excuses and to take responsibility for their families and their communities. Delivering a commencement address at the all-male private liberal arts college in Atlanta, Obama spoke in deeply personal terms about the “special obligation” he feels as a black man to help those left behind. “There but for the grace of God, I might be in their shoes,” Obama said. “I might have been in prison.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

Watergate 2.0 -- why the

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
