Transparency, Obama-style

January 6th, 2010

Today I am flying the Ft. Moultrie flag, a Patriot Flag I fly when there is “liberty-risky” discussion happening. And with the closed door negotiations going on between the Senate and the House over the Health Care bill … this is certainly just such a time.  The problem is we don’t know “how risky” the discussion is for “liberty.”  And we won’t until they roll out a bill that is full of socialism, big government, spending and probably other things we won’t figure out for years!

Liberty Risky Discussion

Lets talk about “transparency:”

SantaClaraUniv: Of course, transparency means that something can be seen through. When we talk about transparency in government, we mean that citizens must be able to “see through” its workings, to know exactly what goes on when public officials transact public business. Government that is not transparent is more prone to corruption and undue influence because there is no public oversight of decision making.

Obama’s own words using “transparency” (health care bill):

  • Barack Obama: Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: TRANSPARENCY and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.
  • Recovery.gov (Obama’s page):What a change from outsourcing of jobs and covering up where money is going! President Obama expects transparency and responsibility in terms of where our money is going. We can keep track of the TRANSPARENCY through visiting Recovery.gov. The site will be updated frequently and will help us understand what is being done.
  • PresidentObamaQuotes: President Obama has taken into account spending in the areas of health care, education, infrastructure, and renewable energy sources, all the while supporting cuts other folk have made to programs, including stopping irresponsible payments to clean up coal mines that have already been cleaned up. Our President is seeking fiscal responsibility and TRANSPARENCY and is not going to hide the cost of war any longer, or tolerate shady spending.

  • PresidentObamaQuotes: President Obama is focusing on all of the things that undergird our economy, from education, to health care, to green energy. He is asking the government to operate with a level of TRANSPARENCY not seen in our lifetime.
    • By the way … go to the PresidentObamaQuotes site and search for “transparency” … too many instances to post here. This website is “so proud” of the New President … I’m betting they’ll take some of their information down because if you want to see the lies … go and look.  This is a perfect example of a “Hope and Change” website … such ignorance!
  • Candidate Barack Obama: “When I’m elected president you’re going to see this health care legislation written in the open. It’s going to be on C-SPAN, and you’ll be able to see all the different people arguing to see whether they’re on your side or they’re on the side of the drug companies and the insurance companies and so on. But you’ll be able to see that process on C-SPAN.”

In his own words …. “...Shame is a healthy discussion.” If so, then we need a “healthy discussion” right now with this president discussing the “shame” he should feel for lying to everyone, over and over. Based on the actual truth of circumstances you see happening right now, you will hardly believe what you will see here:


Listen to Obama’s 8 Lies on Health Care here at BreitBart

… and this from C-Span

CBSNews: C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb sent a letter to congressional leaders last week, asking that they “open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage. Many of your rank-and-file members, and the nation’s editorial pages have all talked about the value of transparent discussions on reforming the nation’s health care system,” , Lamb said in the letter, which was sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). “Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the Chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American.”

… and from Harry Reid’s Office:

―Senator Reid appreciates C-SPAN‘s commitment to ensuring transparency and we will continue to fully comply with the longstanding precedents of open access to the work of Congress. ―The drafting of this health insurance reform bill has set new standards for transparency. As the C-SPAN letter states, there have been ‗literally hundreds of hours of committee hearings, mark ups and floor debate on these bills‘ – and every one of those hours was broadcast across the country. (Actually Harry is correct, the drafting of this health care bill has set new standards in transparency … I don’t know how the standards could be lower! … these are BREATHTAKING lies … absolutely amazing.

… and the result?

The result is Democrats huddled behind closed doors in “smoky” rooms seaming together the House and Senate versions of the Health Care bill which will give “who knows what” to “who knows who?”  With the Louisiana Purchase, and Ben Nelson’s payoff … we can expect a great deal more corruption to be woven into this bill before it is finished. All of this is being done in secrecy … exactly the OPPOSITE of what President Obama promised.

So President Barack Hussein Obama lied.

(Thank you Joe Wilson, for point out the President’s tendencies earlier!)

Obama's Style of Transparency


The Bottom Line


The Democrats in Congress and the White House are now confirmed liars. They want nothing for the country, only continued increased power for themselves … creating a government that will trend toward keeping them in power because of the “dependence” of the apathetic and ignorant voters among us. With the payoffs we seen, and those happening that we cannot see … because of the LACK of Transparency … this is the most corrupt congress and administration I have ever seen. Regardless of the outcome, the “Health Care” bill will forever be a corrupt piece of back-room created legislation forever hated by every red-blooded American who “understands” the corruption we are watching during its creation.

Ft Moultrie Flag - Liberty Risky Discussion

Unionize the TSA? – NO!

December 30th, 2009

Today I’m flying the Ft. Moultrie flag … a Patriot Flag I fly when there is “Liberty Risky Discussion.”  Such discussion is happening.  Now the Democrats want to Unionize the TSA, continuing with the administration’s “payoff” to unions. This from an administration more worried about golf scores and union payoffs than the security of the nation.

Liberty Risky Discussion

Single-handedly (as usual these days), one Senator, Jim DeMint is standing between the entire “left” and sanity.  One wonders if there are any other Republicans in the Senate, perhaps Jim is the last one standing?  Obama’s nomination for head of the TSA (Transportation Security Authority) has told the AFL-CIO he is looking forward to working with them. Erroll Southers, Obama’s pick for the head of TSA has, in an email to the AFGE/AFL-CIO said this ….

EG Southers

Southers: “I look forward to joining you and adding value to the homeland security mission at TSA.”

… and reaction to this?

Sphere.Com: Counterterrorism expert Erroll Southers was nominated in September by President Barack Obama and approved by committee last month. But Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., placed a hold on the nomination because of a dispute over whether TSA workers should have collective bargaining.

CanadaFreePress: (Tod Hudson) “Sadly the Republican obstructionism of just one person, Senator DeMint, prevented TSA from having the leadership in place that the organization deserves,” said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. But DeMint’s spokesman, Wesley Denton, said his boss is not at fault for the delay in Southers’ nomination

Jim DeMint

RightWingNews: But there is an ulterior motive in play for the Democrats, naturally. And, again naturally, it is an effort by Democrats to hand a victory to unions. One of the things that Senator Jim DeMint (R, SC) is trying to stave off is the unionization of our airport security personnel as the Democrats are trying to slide this by the American people in the guise of “security.”

But, in keeping with Obama’s desire to give freebies to unions and his disinterest in our national security, he’s trying to push the TSA to be opened up for unionization. Once again with this Administration the needs of unions takes precedence over the safety and success of the American people.

You can listen to Senator DeMint’s comments here:

Jim DeMint’s Freedom Alert: Senator DeMint has clearly outlined his position on this in his Dec 30th Freedom Alert which can be viewed by clicking HERE. (jpg file).

When they move ahead with the transportation security head and say his stated goal is to unionize rather than to focus on security, I think it is something we should have a discussion about on the Senate floor and have a roll call vote,” DeMint told CBS News.


The Bottom Line


Terrorism is “here.” We have just had our SECOND terrorist attack in the United States in less than 2 months. The first one was because of “political correctness” and the second one was a “massive breach in the security system.”  Both of these are because the “left” in this country refuses to believe we are at war with the people who are trying their best to kill all of us!  We are in a perilous time, now that Obama has declared the War on Terror “over” … the Jihadists are moving in at will.  What would we be thinking about and talking about had that airplane gone down like the plane blown out of the air over  Lockerbie?

(Just THINK about it! … how close were we to THIS?)

Remember Lockerbie?

The Airline and the Jihadist; One of our most vulnerable assets has been the airliner.  And again last week a Jihadist tried to blow 300 people out of the air over Detroit.  The safety barrier between the airliner and the jihadist is the TSA.  And now there is a move afoot to “unionize” our key security system?  Are they crazy?  Point out ONE instance where a union has made ANY system more efficient and secure.

Union Payoffs threaten Security: It is time this administration’s “payoffs” to the unions stop.  These people aren’t even being subtle about this … the payoffs are out in the open and very real.  The problem with this one is that YOUR security and MY security are directly threatened by allowing unions to be setting guidelines and goals for TSA employees.  It is dangerous and stupid.

And by the way … Where are the “other” Republicans?  Are you hearing anything from them about this issue, are they standing at the microphone with Jim DeMint?  Are they standing up for the security of the country like Jim DeMint is doing … or are they all home still enjoying the Christmas pudding and running away from their commitment to keep our country safe?

No TSA Unionization

NIPCC – Global Warming Hoax – Climategate

December 16th, 2009

Today I am flying the Fort Moultrie Flag.  I fly this Patriot Flag when there is “Liberty Risky” discussion happening. The Non Governmental International Panel on Climate Change report is out and fully exposes the Global Warming Hoax.

Liberty at Risk

Liberty at Risk

The IPCC: The “official” (UN Sanctioned body) for the “consensus” of Global Warming is the IPCC … Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change.  If you want to see “their side” of the hoax, you can find their web page HERE.  This group is responsible for “collecting” all the data, and REVIEWING it … then passing it forward in reports to the public.

IPCC Flow Chart

IPCC Flow Chart

The Lie. The problem was at the PEER REVIEW level. The dishonest CRU scientists only allowed data to go forward that promoted their cause of proving man-made global warming. (The “data flow” chart showing the problem area is to the right).  This was where the CRU came in and these are the people that were changing the data as proven by their “acquired” emails (Climate-Gate).

UPDATE: 09.2010: Meltdown of the Climate “consensus” (Caught in the lie!)

  • Sad to notice how many other “real” scientists were probably honestly involved in this dishonest process. Earlier in the process they were working diligently to acquire accurate data, only to have it “elminated” or “changed” at the peer review stage toward the end of the process.

Enter the NIPCC The Non-Governmental Panel for Climate Change.

NIPCC: The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is [snip] an international panel of nongovernment scientists and scholars who have come together to understand the causes and consequences of climate change. Because we are not predisposed to believe climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, we are able to look at evidence the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ignores. Because we do not work for any governments, we are not biased toward the assumption that greater government activity is necessary.

The NIPCC Report: Climate Change Reconsidered:

NIPCCFull180NIPCC: The 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) is the most comprehensive objective compilation of science on climate change ever published. It offers a “second opinion” to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published in 2007. Unlike that report, Climate Change Reconsidered finds global warming is not a crisis, and never was. (Summary of Report, pdf, here).

Here are only a FEW of the MANY findings in the report:

(Note: Each bullet below is PROVEN scientifically in the report)

  • Climate Models are incorrect
  • Current trends are not “unprecedented”
  • There are environmental advantages to increasing CO2 (not disadvantages)
  • There is no evidence that CO2-induced increases in air temperature will cause unprecedented plant and animal extinctions, either on land or in the world’s oceans.
  • There is no evidence that CO2-induced global warming is or will be responsible for increases in the incidence of human diseases or the number of lives lost to extreme thermal conditions.A corrected temperature record shows temperatures around the world were warmer during the Medieval Warm Period of approximately 1,000 years ago than they are today, and have averaged 2-3ºF warmer than today’s temperatures over the past 10,000 years.
  • Highly accurate satellite data, adjusted for orbit drift and other factors, show a much more modest warming trend in the last two decades of the twentieth century and a dramatic decline in the warming trend in the first decade of the twenty-first century.
  • Most populations of polar bears are growing, not shrinking, and the biggest influence on polar bear populations is not temperature but hunting by humans, which historically has taken a large toll on polar bear populations.

Above is only a sampling.  Read their book, found here: Amazon.com (beware, the price is $123.00)!  But you can also read a summary of their findings at the website: NIPCC Site (look at the blue area to the left to select the area of your interest and browse through the findings). I also made a pdf file of the summary of the book and findings which you can download HERE.

Renew America: The true science, not the stuff conjured up on computer models, always refuted the global warming theory. That’s because it was widely known to honest climatologists, meteorologists, and others. It was always known that carbon dioxide (CO2) was a miniscule part of the Earth’s atmosphere, barely 0.038 percent. Of that amount, man-made CO2 emissions constitute less than 0.00022 percent! Some will argue these figures, but they always remain within these very tiny parameters. Carbon dioxide has nothing to do with global warming or as it is now called, climate change.

Nor has the Earth been rapidly warming. The last warming cycle began around 1850 as a respond to a Little Ice Age that began in 1300. The Earth warmed about one degree Fahrenheit. By 1998, it began to cool again!

From CanadaFreePress: On 22 November 1996 from Geoff Jenkins (UK Met Office) to Phil Jones, “Remember all the fun we had last year over 1995 global temperatures, with early release of information (via Oz), “inventing” the December monthly value, letters to Nature etc etc? I think we should have a cunning plan about what to do this year, simply to avoid a lot of wasted time.”“We feed this selectively to Nick Nuttall (Executive Director of UNEP) (who has had this in the past and seems now to expect special treatment) so that he can write an article for the silly season. We could also give this to Neville Nicholls (IPCC lead author and Australian Met Bureau employee.)??” They’re talking about releasing an annual global temperature a month before the year is over. Hardly scientific or responsible bureaucratic behavior, but they think deceiving the public is “fun”.


The Bottom Line


In this blog, I have commented on this before: (Climate Gate’s Blue Dress) and (Environmental Religion). If you take the time to read through the NIPCC website and the summary report, you will find that the “hoax” is based on blatant lies that played on the “fears” of IGNORANT people … people who have not, like you, taken the time to research and learn the truth.  It is these people the hoaxers are trying to enslave with Socialism.  The Man Made Global Warming Hoax was the vehicle by which these people could impose taxes on everyone creating monies for their own continued power grab.  Its a scam, scare the dumb people out of their money so they’ll give it to us.

Al Gore

Al Gore

And the lies continue…

  • Al Gore said the center of the earth’s heat is “Millions of Degrees”
    • The actual core temperature of the earth is about 12,000 degrees
  • Al Gore said the Ice Caps will be gone in 5 years
    • Disputed by the scientist from which he received the information
  • Al Gore said the CRU Emails are 10 years old
    • No, they “started” 10 years ago, the most recent was November of 2009
  • Al Gore says the Polar Bears are dying because of global warming … (oh me)
    • In 2002, the US Geological Survey in the Arctic Refuge Coastal plain reported the polar bear population was near historic highs. Biologist Mitchell Taylor of the Arctic community of Nunavit who tracks 13 of those colonies, says 11 are stable or thriving with populations that have increased 25%.

The Media still is covering the lies. Watch CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC … and all of them continue to avoid the truth of the Global Warming Hoax.  This is because they are participants in the lie. The “hoax” was spread by the news media who, like the CRU “researchers” WANTED global warming to be man made.  They all are reporting what they “want” the news to be, not what the news actually is.  This is shameful.  And if the “lame stream” media is your only source of news, then you are among the ranks for the IGNORANT.

Ft Moultrie Flag - Liberty Risky Discussion

EPA’s Water Grab Act

December 15th, 2009

Today I’m flying the Fort Moultrie flag. I fly it when there is “liberty-risky” discussion. and such a discussion is happening right now. Once again the EPA is reaching out to control our lives, supported by the Democrats and Obama as usual. This time they want to control ALL of the water in the USA … not just “navigable water” as they previously controlled.

Water Grab Act

Water Grab Act

power-grabGovernment Power Grab: It isn’t enough that the EPA has declared CO2 a “Hazardous” gas … giving them jurisdiction over everything with a carbon emission from smokestacks, to cow farts, to the emissions of your lawn mower? (See S.T.O.P. the EPA). Now they want to control all water … and yes, they can regulate a mud puddle with this power. The intrusion of this government into our personal liberties and freedoms is breathtaking … and so far, the abundance of American Ignorance is allowing them to get away with it!  So let’s “wise up” and get with what is going on … here’s the facts:  (pass them on!).  The official name of this legislation is the Federal Water Pollution Control Act or FWPC or FWPCA.

Bill Summary: There are two pieces of legislation on this: H.R. 2421 and S 787.  Here is the summary for S-787:

Thomas Summary of S-787 Clean Water Restoration Act – Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly known as the Clean Water Act) to replace the term “navigable waters” that are subject to such Act with the term “waters of the United States,” defined to mean all waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate waters and their tributaries, including lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, natural ponds, and all impoundments of the foregoing, to the fullest extent that these waters, or activities affecting them, are subject to the legislative power of Congress under the Constitution.

waterHeartland.org: “By eliminating one word–navigable–and replacing it with the term ‘waters of the United States,’ the legislation would give the federal government authority over anything that is wet, as well as any activity on land that could affect water,” explained the North Carolina Coalition for Clean Water in a December 18 news release. “When the word ‘navigable’ is taken out, [it makes] everything federal water–without regard to volume and flow. That means gutters, ditches, seasonal wet spots, even groundwater.

Glenn Beck explains it best …

There is Nationwide Opposition

Oppose!

Oppose!

Heartland.org: Opposition to the federal proposal was expressed on December 5 when members of Congress, state legislators, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Property Rights Alliance, Partnership for America, and Americans for American Energy joined the National Farm Bureau Federation, American Property Coalition, and Western Business Roundtable on the steps of the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, DC.

Strong opposition also has been expressed outside of Washington in town meetings, state capitols, and newspaper editorials across the country. “The scope of this legislation is breathtaking,” said Larry Wooten, president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau. “It will raise costs for farmers and homeowners while also burdening state and local governments.”

“With these changes,” Youngberg said, “ordinary roadside ditches, stock tanks, and ponds would be subject to extensive regulation and permitting. Even low spots in fields farmed for decades would be subject to extensive reviews.”

Even John Dingle (D) doesn’t like it!

“Most of the ducks that migrate across our skies in the spring and fall are hatched and raised on prairies,” Dingell asserted. “Remove [the puddles] and you remove the ducks,” Dingell claimed.

And from the American Property Coalition:

Never before in the nation’s history has federal power reached so far! Included is a citizen lawsuit provision that allows anyone to sue you if they think your activity might affect water (defined as nearly dry land). Supporters include the Sierra Club, Earthjustice, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and dozens of other radical anti-property, anti-free market, and anti-use organizations. Go to the American Property Coalition site, there is a great deal more information on this subject there.


The Bottom Line


Liberty being Broken!

Liberty being Broken!

It is about control! Under the familiar guise of “save the earth” and “love the animals” … for OUR protection, the government is trying to take control of another KEY ASPECT of our lives … water! All water!  Before, the term “navigable waterway” defined the boundary of federal vs state control of water. With the changing of these two words, the federal government is reaching out to control the rain water you walk through on a cloudy day.  This legislations gives them control over ANYTHING affecting the water.  So to build something “near by” you will need over 100 permits from the EPA to prove that you will not be contaminating whatever “water” is in question.

  • And what about “existing” water? There’s no grandfather clause … if the water is “suspected” to be contaminated by a nearby activity, (a cow urinating in a meadow?) … the activity can be “regulated!” Yes, because the bill’s wording states control of “lands adjacent to the water.” So the “control” climbs up onto the land  … its not only a “water grab” its a “land grab”too!

Keep Waking Up, America! The socialist coup which has happened was allowed to happen because of ignorance and apathy.  To S.T.O.P. it in its tracks, people are going to have to get off their duffs and start paying attention and getting involved.  Write your congressman and representative on this one immediately … talk about a supression of Liberty and Freedom … this one is HUGE!   Contact them now!  Here are the links.

Tell Your [sleeping] Neighbor! How many of your neighbors (the people actually living next door) know about this power grab?  I’m betting VERY FEW if ANY!  So talk it up, tell them about it, the facts you need are above.  The only way we can fight socialism is to be sure that every American is “wide awake” and paying attention.  Wake them up with this one!

Stop The Obama Plan

Ft Moultrie Flag - Liberty Risky Discussion

2008-Republicans Endanger Seniors!

December 5th, 2009

I am flying the Ft Moultrie flag. I do this when liberty is in jeopardy. Today (on a Saturday session to continue to “rush” the Health Care process) the Democrats killed an amendment to restore 42 billion dollars back to Medicare. Do you remember the 2008 campaign when Democrats were touting that Republicans would be dangerous to the welfare of Senior Citizens? They lied, it wasn’t the Republicans that were the threat, it was the Democrats!  Here’s the proof!

Environmentalists are a Threat!

Environmentalists are a Threat!

The Hill: Democrats held fast Saturday against another Republican attempt to restore funding for a Medicare program facing cuts in the Senate healthcare bill. During a rare weekend session, Senate Democrats blocked a GOP move to restore about $42 billion in funding for a home healthcare Medicare program. Democrats argued that the cuts wouldn’t affect Medicare patients’ quality of care and would make the home healthcare benefit stronger by forcing it to be more efficient.

Republicans have sought to portray the approximately $460 billion worth of Medicare cuts in the healthcare bill as evidence that the Democrats’ plans will put seniors’ healthcare at risk. “What will happen is that these programs will disappear because they’ll go in the red because of the cuts these Democrats are proposing,” said Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), the sponsor of the amendment that was rejected Saturday. On Thursday, Republicans offered an amendment blocking all proposed Medicare cuts, but it failed on a largely party-line vote.

Thank you Democrats for watching out for senior citizens!


The Bottom Line


I told you so!

How many Seniors voted Democrat in the last election?

Ignorance should hardly be an excuse of “seasoned” citizens.

Votes have consequences, here comes your payback!
