If this is all true then all those who helped him into office in ANY way over the years should be put into prison for life as their actions are not only illegal but F*** our country up so bad that its the least we can do. They really should get a firing squad, imo.

Obama's top 30 most disrespectful insults to the military October 1, 2014 3:26 PM MST  Liberals are responding to public irritation over Obama's "latte salute" by circulating various awkward images of President Bush struggling to salute with the Bush family dog, "Barney," in his other hand. This oblivious apples-and-oranges comparison ignores the fact that there is nothing even remotely controversial in the military about saluting with something in your other hand. U.S. Army soldiers salute during the national anthem before Obama speaks at a memorial for victims of the Ft. Hood massacre on April 9, 2014 in Kileen, Texas. Photo by Erich Schlegel/Getty Images They add that there is no law requiring the president to salute, and that many presidents never saluted...as if Obama halfway adhering to military customs and courtesies weren't still an insulting display of indifference. But all of this misses the point. It matters more coming from Obama because he openly despises the Armed Forces, as his endless betrayals of them make unmistakably clear. Here are Obama's top 30 most disrespectful insults to the military: 30) Looking past all his civilian aides to order a Marine to hold an umbrella over his head like a butler for an entire speech at the Rose Garden, in violation of military regulations. 29) Forcing race-baiting class warfare propaganda, extreme PC "sensitivity" measures, and *** Pride Month on soldiers. 28) Taking credit for the success of the surge he opposed in Iraq. 27) Taking credit for the success of the interrogation policies he opposed that located Osama bin Laden. 26) Skipping the funeral of the highest-ranking officer to be killed on foreign soil in over 40 years (Major-General Harold J. Greene), to play golf. 25) Smearing veterans as potential domestic terrorists. 24) Trying to make wounded veterans cover their own medical treatment through private health insurance plans, which would inevitably end up increasing their out-of-pocket costs. 23) Blaming our troops for the Taliban attacking them...for everything from objecting to pedophilia and advocating women's rights, to not wearing latex gloves while handling Korans and walking in front of Muslims while they are praying. 22) Rushing in to misrepresent the Ft. Hood massacre that killed 13 soldiers (one whom was pregnant) as mere "workplace violence." 21) Giving captured terrorists at Gitmo (who are drenched in soldiers' blood) a $750,000 soccer field, cable TV, entertainment, classes in painting, etc., while stripping away benefits for soldiers at every turn. 20) Ordering federal agencies to make the sequester cuts as painful as possible for the American people, which ended up cutting tuition assistance for soldiers and increasing other college costs for the Armed Forces across the board. 19) Denying veterans from all over the country access to the WWII Memorial in Washington over a staged government shutdown while allowing illegal immigrants to hold a political rally on closed federal grounds. 18) Cutting military health care benefits and pensions while increasing spending on unionized federal bureaucrats (Obama voters). 17) Ignoring a former Marine frivolously imprisoned in Mexico on trumped up weapons charges. 16) Using soldiers to help a terror-sponsoring dictator fight off outraged civilian protesters. 15) Purging the military of oath-keeping constitutionalists. 14) Imposing draconian cuts to the things we are actually supposed to be spending tax dollars on under the Constitution (like the military), while exploding spending on things the Federal Government has no authority to even be involved in, like Obama's trillion-dollar health care takeover. 13) Silencing and criminalizing Christianity in the military. 12) Banning time-proven interrogation techniques and insisting on treating foreign terrorists as mere common criminals to be tried in American courts, as civilians. 11) Suppressing military votes. 10) Imposing ludicrous rules of engagement on our troops that have needlessly gotten many soldiers killed. 9) Appeasing our enemies, backing down after drawing "red lines" in the sand, betraying our allies, and dismantling our missile defenses...all of which needlessly endangers our troops. 8) Cutting troops down to pre-WWII levels, and then allowing illegal immigrants into the military. 7) Allowing veterans to die on secret waiting lists at VA hospitals all over the country, after being warned about the manipulated numbers and obscene delays in care (welcome to 'universal health care') back in 2008. 6) Abandoning three decorated veterans and a U.S. ambassador to be dragged through the streets and tortured to death by bloodthirsty Islamic savages in Benghazi, and then falsely blaming it on Americans having the right to disagree with Islam in public. 5) Releasing numerous terrorists back onto the streets so they could return and attack our soldiers, including one who ended up becoming the leader of ISIS. 4) Releasing five major terrorist leaders to appease the Taliban into releasing one America-hating deserter. 3) Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq while handing Afghanistan back to the Islamic fundamentalists who facilitated 9/11 (the Taliban). 2) Openly funding and arming Islamic terrorists. 1) Endlessly trampling the Constitution that soldiers are sworn to defend and attacking the rights they fight, bleed, and die to protect. http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-s-top-30-most-disrespectful-insults-to-the-military

Here is some info on Ebola from the CDC, I'll give a link on the bottom to the site as it has a lot more info. When ever the government gets the media to say don't worry about it and don't panic ........................... it's probably time to start worrying about it!! Chance favors the prepared mind, it never hurts to know what's going on!! How do I protect myself against Ebola? If you must travel to an area affected by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, protect yourself by doing the following: Wash hands frequently or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids of any person, particularly someone who is sick. Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids. Do not touch the body of someone who has died from Ebola. Do not touch bats and nonhuman primates or their blood and fluids and do not touch or eat raw meat prepared from these animals. Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. Embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on medical facilities. Seek medical care immediately if you develop fever (temperature of 101.5°F/ 38.6°C) and any of the other following symptoms: headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bruising or bleeding.Limit your contact with other people until and when you go to the doctor. Do not travel anywhere else besides a healthcare facility Here is the link to the CDC, like I said way more info there then I wanted to drag over here!! Media is already trying to deflect the dangers of it by saying the flu causes more deaths, blah, blah, blah. I don't believe in the flu shots, nor do I let my kids get them, yet none of us have had the flu in years and years and years, imagine that!! http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/qa.html

Although i'd feel sorry for the young girls - perhaps "Her Majesty" would take her lunch programs with her to Jail or Kenya. What I cannot understand is the 'outright refusal' of courts and law enforcement to deal with it. He is so grossly incompetent the world laughs at the US. He needs to go back to his South Chicago bath house roots.

According to a statement obtained by "obelisk", a copy of the "al-Jaafari, received in his office in Baghdad's new American ambassador to Iraq, Styawat Jones, received the credentials of the new Ambassador Stephen Beecroft to succeed." The statement added that "During the meeting, they discussed bilateral relations, file, and find ways of mutual cooperation and activating the strategic framework agreement between the two countries, and the issue of relations between Iraq and neighboring countries and the region in the next stage, and the adoption of the policy of international openness."

it certainly took me back.....Dec 20th 1972 over Hanoi, NVM, I was the co-pilot in a B-52D model with a SAM locked on to our aircraft and rapidly approaching (visible on my side), I called BREAK...and the Aircraft Commander turned into the missile...what happened next astounded everyone...there was a loud clang on the underside of the Nav's hatch, as if we had been struck.....the explosion gave the AC flash blindness momentarily...I took over the airplane and rolled out wings level....although the Nav went numb from the waist down briefly...there was no apparent damage to the ship....nor any sign of the hit when we landed in Thailand....the "experts" all said it was IMPOSSIBLE...the missile had a solid lock which never broke....the sound was attributed to the shock wave of the missile passing by the ship ....therefore only about 1' and there was no understandable reason that it did not do to us what happened to more that 20 B-52's in the same predicament.... OH....did I neglect to mention my silent and rather hastily uttered prayer just before "impact"..."Father I cannot handle this one !"...there is more but that is the gist of the story On the ground I determined to find my true purpose...I have pastored for nearly 30years now...to God be ALL the glory !! HE SAVED ME WHEN I COULD NOT SAVE MYSELF !!!

Just a side note - look at the label of the hand sanitizer your are using. Hand sanitizers come in two forms; one meant to kill only bacteria and another meant to kill all forms of germs including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. Read the instructions and make sure it states that it is effective against viruses. http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2012/01/13/examining-the-effectiveness-of-hand-sanitizers/

Why reform it Gw bush told congress a number of times it needed reformed starting in the year 2001 but the democrat congress called him stupid and claimed fanny and freddie were just fine and they were solid sound institutions Bush warned them every year till it finally collapsed Then they blamed the recession on bush It's all a matter of record The democrats constantly lie and try to cover up that record but the conservatives of America have read and seen it and the democrats refuse to turn their eyes on the record of this matter They put blinders on It was all democrat polititions that caused the entire mess 100%

Seems that a lot is happening in a positive way...thanks for the post and hard work BU...

As far as the earth being one huge living being, wasn't that a movie?

DO IT, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!!!

Thanks guys for so tactfully pointing out how my words could be taken and misconstrued to mean something I clearly did not intend. To be clear Autistic Spectrum kids are not killers. One is not more prone to be a killer because of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. No direct correlation between the two has ever been noted or shown otherwise....And I would sincerely regret anyone walking away with that misunderstanding based upon something I said. Anyone who's read my posts on this specific issue, knows I am adamantly opposed to using any mental health criterion as as an index for approving gun ownership. Those two things need to remain completely separate and I would oppose any effort to open that door. The only predictive variable with any merit in determining a future event, is past behavior. That said, anytime a mass casualty event occurs, those with the recognized professional expertise to do, try to figure out what if any patterns emerge. Maybe there is hope for prevention, maybe its an attempt to at least understand, so as to perhaps mitigate what if anything emerges. In the past one of the consistent factors emerging was that of bullying. The kids all had that to some degree in their background (10-15 years ago).... My comment which unfortunately could be misunderstood completely, focused upon the most recent subset of kids who happen to fall along the Autistic Spectrum Disorder continuum, ( generally toward Aspergers) AND who have spent hours playing violent video games day in day out for 3-4 hours AND who did so from approximately age 10-12 into their Teens, AND who did so alone (without an adult giving context and/or other kids), AND who evidenced a troubled relationship with their parents. Somewhere in a much earlier thread, I detailed the science behind this pattern. Basic to it was the notion that given our brains do not fully develop until age 25, hard wiring ANY kids brain with simulations consistent with those now used commonplace with the US Army, will likely lead to an increase in these incidents. The recent patterns most recently emerging suggest that kids with ASD/Aspergers IF exposed to ALL of the above variables, may be more at risk. And in any case, specific to these recent kids, there was way more going on besides the mere ownership of guns. However, no one should read that to mean it was ever stated that ASD kids kill because they are ASD kids. There is no truth in that.... And I would ask anyone reading this to be clear about that..... Don't walk away thinking there is some relationship that does not in fact exist..... I guess I would also clarify that a person with Autism (ASD) is not a person who is considered to be psychotic, personality disordered (sociopath) or even neurotic because they have been diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder... And further, there is also no known causal relationship between any of those disorders and violence resulting in murder because someone has one of those mental illnesses... the one exception being Anti-Social PD (psychopath) . . In addressing some of the other comments in general, it might be helpful to note that an adult brain is very different from a kid's brain in terms of where it is developmentally. By the time you're 25, your frontal lobes are pretty much physically developed and wired. To say you play war games without effect as an adult would make sense. You've likely developed a whole host of neurologically / physically connected brain matter that gives you the ability to accurately sort what you are doing. It's not as likely that you would hard wire your brain differently at that point. Quite the opposite is true for a kid. They might look act and respond like little adults, but their brains are not fully formed until they about 25 years old. I honestly don't care if adults play, or their kids play or whatever else anyone does regarding these games... everyone is free to choose.... (not to mention I get how hard it is to control playing them with teenage kids...). From my perspective, I would just suggest you are there with your kids, especially in their early teens in giving context to what they are doing... at least talk about it, draw distinctions, give adult input into the process of their integration of what they are doing...(kind of like what you were saying DinarCash) and limiting the hours that such that its not their sole activity,.... balance it with other stuff...Get em outside running about or some physical activity to balance the brain activity... I think any kid exposed to the variables listed above when combined together (not just one or a few, but combined) is at risk. I expect we will see an increase of this violence in kids. The research on that alone goes back to the 1950s. This is not new news. There may be an continuing emergent pattern suggesting some kids when exposed to those combined variables are at greater risk than others, but its only a matter of degrees if so, and at best. And that may have been an atypical pattern cluster and we may not see it emerge again, As our society evolves, so does the possibility for new patterns to emerge. And none of that eliminates all kinds of at risk possibilities relative to kids in general. Indeed, the whole issue of bullying carries far more impact as a pattern up to this point. Thanks again for pointing out that the way wrote my reply, could have led to the mistaken assumption I was saying something I was not.... Hopefully, I've clarified it without muddying it even more... Its late, but I didn't want to risk even one more person reading this thread and walking away with mistaken assumptions about a group of kids that is not true. If there are any questions or I have not made it clear, please let me know... I have no problem staying with this until its clarified to the point we all can walk away satisfied we are on the same page I believe we are... .

starfire1 » The Marines were backing-up LAPD on a call that someone had broken into a store. At the scene, the cop told the Marines to "cover" him as he approached the store (to police, "cover" means to point your weapons in the direction of the threat, to Marines it means lay down a base of fire!). The Marines promptly laid down a base of fire. The Marines fired 178 rounds before they stopped shooting. The thief, probably a little scared at this point, called 911 and reported, "They're shooting at me!". ********** starfire1 » As we stood in formation at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, our Flight Instructor said, "All right! All you dummies fall out." As the rest of the squad wandered away, I remained at attention. The instructor walked over until he was eye-to-eye with me, and then just raised a single eyebrow. I smiled and said, "Sure was a lot of 'em, huh sir?" *********** starfire1 » A young naval student was being put through the paces by an old sea captain. "What would you do if a sudden storm sprang up on the starboard?" "Throw out an anchor, sir," the student replied. "What would you do if another storm sprang up aft?" "Throw out another anchor, sir." "And if another terrific storm sprang up forward, what would you do then?" asked the captain. "Throw out another anchor, sir." "Hold on," said the captain. "Where are you getting all those anchors from?" "From the same place you're getting your storms, sir." ************ starfire1 » Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center where he was to advise new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance. It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said: "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government has to pay only a maximum of $6000." "Now," he concluded," which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first? ********** starfire1 » Through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light dead ahead on a collision course with his ship. He sends a signal: "Change your course ten degrees east." The light signals back: "Change yours, ten degrees west." Angry, the captain sends: "I'm a Navy captain! Change your course, sir!" "I'm a petty officer, second class," comes the reply. "Change your course, sir." Now the captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!" There's one last reply. "I'm a lighthouse. Your call."

Please do not ignore the numbers. Numbers don't lie. It is said that there are 35,000 plus IS operatives that control an area the size of Indiana. They can't all be around Baghdad. So how can a few hundred or even thousand IS overtake a city of almost 9 MILLON ??? It's just not possible and is more disinformation my fellow dinarians. I see it as a precurser to our investments coming to maturity.

Lol! I always benefit from a good nap! And I'd never turn down a hug from you, Shabs Sorry if my passion for freedom and the truth rubs you the wrong way... I just can't afford to "agree to disagree" on this issue. Care to take a dip at my questions or are you just wading ankle-deep?

The troops of ISIS are going back to Syria and attacking there. Note that Baghdad is not really concerned about ISIS coming into the city. There may be a few bomb attacks on innocent civilians at shopping malls and public parks, but they are not confronting armed troops. Their thrust is "terror" and they will kill the women and children and say that it is the air strikes doing the killing. SOP when you spread propaganda. Note that the article didn't say anything about ISIS loosing ground and returning toward Syria. It will be a long struggle with ISIS. Murders and criminals from all over the world will come in because they are drawn to murder, rape, and killing the unarmed. Cowards usually do. The Iraqi soldier who said he would "run" if attacked by ISIS, and that he was just their for the money, needs to be removed and put back in the situation from which he came: poverty. I can understand his need for money to take care of his family, but his family will be raped and murdered unless he fights for their freedom from the "dung beetles" of desert, ISIS. In response to Imbededhorsehead.

Maggie, if you've bothered to look at anything we have presented here, you'll see it's 100% FACT that there are REAL socialists and REAL communists trying to advance REAL social change through their environmental agenda (now known as climate change)... NOT propaganda. You present a ridiculous piece of fiction that labels us "deniers" as TERRORISTS... Total BS and PURE propaganda. See the difference? I can't help but notice that not one "believer" has brought even one credible, indisputable "fact". I have never seen a thread so one-sided in the fact department (hell, the Lopsters put up a better argument!). Perhaps y'all just aren't used to real debate and discourse on the issue. Isn't there one of you that can bring some substance to the discussion? Doesn't that bother you? It bothers me... that you can't defend your position yet you cling to it for dear life. I WISH you believers would educate yourselves and by all means... use discernment to think outside the liberal box. It shouldn't be necessary to repeat myself. I've expressed my well founded distrust of the "evidence", my concerns about the direction the radical environmentalists would like to take this "movement" and the economically devastating endgame where free-market capitalism is abolished and replaced with something that doesn't even resemble freedom. <-- REAL forward thinking btw, and something I wish you'd invest some time doing. Look at who you've put your faith in. I wouldn't let Al Gore and this bunch of radical leftists mow my lawn let alone shape my beliefs. Look at all the money (hundreds of billions? More?) already wasted on this. I would think you, of all people, would settle for nothing less than the truth... even if it hurts. "Follow the money", right? Isn't that your shtick? No one likes to be lied to and no one wants to think they've been duped. But what if you have? What if they're wrong? Do you have so much invested in your position that you can't see it for the fraud it is? THIS IS THE TRUTH... http://cfact.org/pdf/2010_Senate_Minority_Report.pdf " Never hurts to look... might just learn something in the process." Enjoy the World Bank and UN links... I did! Biggest bunch of collectivists on the planet! (no offense, Rayzur but those sources have a heavily ve$ted intere$t in the outcome of this debate.) What am I so afraid of? Simply put, I'm afraid of you and people like you, who swallow and regurgitate these lies and ignore the truth... and you vote! (Much like obama, I'm less afraid of him than a constituency capable of electing him, not once but TWICE!) I know I've given you a hard time and truly, I don't think you're stupid (just annoying)... but you represent an otherwise thoughtful perspective that at times, cannot or will not use the common sense God gave you, to think for yourselves. Your ideology is severely flawed and doesn't permit dissent. But hey, it's easier to follow the group-thought than think for yourselves anyway, right? And the left has painted the "deniers" as a bunch of greedy, heartless undesirables (so that's not an option... better to stick with the devil you know, I guess). It's the loss of freedom that worries me most... the money is a distant second. If there are "things we can all do without costing anyone a dime"... Spill it! I sure would like to know what they are. By any chance, do they preserve what freedoms we have? Just for fun, let's say you're right... that climate change is caused by man and not just a natural Earth cycle that we couldn't control or change if we wanted to. WHAT NOW? So there are my 2 questions for you believers... What if you're wrong? Are you open minded enough to question it? What if you're right? What must we do to correct it?

America’s radical climate change countermovement terrorist organization... let that soak in. Wow! I was unaware that I was just a pawn in this evil plot to destroy the world! I DENOUNCE MYSELF! I will immediately report to the commissar in tractor barn 4, gratefully accept my scorn and government issued shovel and head out into the beet field!

What the hell? I was just starting to like you and you go and get yourself banned? Well, you're not known for your timing, comedic or otherwise! I see you lurking though, so I'll take a swing at yer query... Mandating gun control is not an option as we lovers of freedom would never allow it. It is our God-given right to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our property. The interesting thing about the 2nd amendment is that we really don't need it... until they try to take it from us. What they can do is lie and manipulate to make as many people as possible willing to give up their freedom in exchange for a little (false) security. "Guns = dead school children!" <-- tell that lie often enough and some will believe it. Two thing wrong with the gun-grabber's manipulation... criminals won't comply... and neither will the patriots (because we know that the only thing that can stop a bad person with a gun, is a good person with a gun!). I know you can't respond... more time to devote to your fascinating study of weather and all! Here's some parting advice... If you hate America so much, I'm sure there are plenty of socialist/communist countries out there who would love a loyal surf who expects nothing more than equal results despite effort invested. Don't let the door hit ya!

Council of Ministers held an extraordinary session today to discuss the salaries of the staff of the provincial 11:17: 10/02/2014 Khandan -ali Naji hold Federal Council of Ministers, on Thursday, an extraordinary session to discuss the rules of procedure of the Council as well as the discussion of the budget, including the salaries of the staff of the Kurdistan region.said Science and Technology Minister Fares Jeju in a statement to "Khandan" that "the Council of Ministers held an extraordinary session this afternoon to discuss the the rules of procedure of the Board and amended, "adding that" the meeting may witness the examination of reports sent from the Federal Ministry of Finance on the budget bill for fiscal 2014 from within paragraphs salaries of the Kurdistan region.

Ok my is I think that every single law and executive orderpassed including Obumercare under his administration should be null and void.

I see them over the last two years drafting policy and implementing policy albeit slowly. I believe the infrastructure items will initiate the "BOOM" they are looking to achieve. I am not sure why they are slow as they are except when you have been doing things the same way for millennia, one must be very careful that roll-outs come out seamless or the people will balk even if it is a good thing.

There`s all kinds of ways to keep chains and shackles on a people. One is to make them dependent on the govt Teat. Make it easy for them to live but not succeed . If you feed a wolf long enough it will forget how to hunt. If you feed a people long enough they will forget how to work.

Right? And why do they put the deer crossing signs on the busiest highway spots, you'd think they could find a safer place to let them cross!!! That's one crusty .......... Now to get that taste out of it's mouth!!

Razur, thank you for your very well-thought out and gracious reply. I appreciate the compassion behind your response. And after reading your comment, I believe we share a similar position. I also acknowledge how many years it takes for the human brain to fully develop; especially the frontal lobe, which is highly impressionable even throughout adulthood and can be weakened by such things as stress hormones and lack of sleep, for example, compromising one's decisions. I'm particularly sensitive to this issue for two reasons: 1) Within hours of Sandy Hook (which is really the topic of this thread) news casters were straining to associate asperger's as a trigger as to why the gunman did what he did (if you believe there was a gunman; I myself am still undecided). In fact, the news media very quickly started backing down and went into damage control when they became aware of how utterly ignorant, baseless, insensitive and dangerous their on-air comments really were. 2) I'm realizing that very few people even have a rudimentary understanding of autism and aspergers. Many of these people become quite self-righteous in their interaction with me as a parent, chalking up my child's sometimes challenging behavior to a bratty, spoiled, disrespectful kid; some of these people are in my family - they approach this from a purely behavioral perspective; they don't get it, and what's worse, I'm not sure that they care enough to try to educate themselves on the matter. Its not my job to educate them. I mean, you can lead a horse to water but... So the role my wife and I have taken with our son is to be his biggest supporters, to believe in him no matter what, and to be his protector and advocate no matter what. I'll guard and protect him against anyone or any power - I don't care if its his grandparents, educators, or the government; matters not to me. However, while all of that is true regarding my role, I'm also making sure that he receives speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavior therapy every week so he can use and direct his mind to understand this world and enjoy life, and make a valuable contribution to society in a way that fulfills his unique gifts. I take full responsibility for my son, 100%. Which means I won't let him be exposed to influences that could potentially damage his mind and brain because I know he filters the world in a very different way than me. He won't be playing violent video games. And he won't be left to run with kids who do. You can know right now that I will always be very involved in his life - I will know about every family and kid he wants to befriend. And if their standards and values differ in a way that will be detrimental in any way to my son, then we will find healthier options. I guess I'm rambling on at this point in the effort to support your comments, and also to support any parent on the forum who is in a similar situation as me. When this thing RVs, it would be a pleasure becoming better acquainted.

@Mags... I sincerely was feeling a tinge of guilt for being so verbally brutal to you in the past (you do bring out the worst in people)... thanks for justifying my otherwise rude behavior and proving my observation that you are annoying! Now, I would never welch on a bet, but I was rooting for you. I even composted my grass clippings while chanting a prayer to Mother Earth... "please Gaia, give Maggie the insight to take my lukewarm peace offering and form an original thought"! Oh well, Mythical, Greek, Pagan Gods are for hippies! @Rayzur... thank you as always, for your time, effort and intellectual honesty. What you describe as scientific query and methodology is spot on and as it SHOULD be. True science has no agenda other than to find the truth. This is why it is so disturbing to learn that the study of "climatology" has been bastardized for the sake of politics. Once the credibility of this scientific community came into question (some would say proven to be complete bunk)... it should have been thrown out, all public funding halted and their findings and "conclusions" never again sited as fact. This has not been the case and the misinformation marches on (in goose-step)... perpetuating the agenda-driven lie that Capitalism is destroying the planet. @DD6... Double or nothin'? I mean technically, Rayzur brought substance and much needed balance! I remain hopeful that there is someone out there who can answer my questions. @RV ME... I appreciate your thoughtful responses in this thread. The many links and information you've brought in are not just relevant but also very informative... generously giving us "deniers" more tools to combat this unicorn! Thank you... I consider myself in good company!

Greetings Thug- and thank you for this and all of the other wonderful posts you've made to this site for me and all of the other DV site members over the years! By any chance, can you (or anyone else) confirm when the next year of the parliamentary session begins?

small world indeed my brother....my USAFA classmate and pilot training Bible study buddy Charles Baldwin flew Jolly Greens and went on to become the Chief of all Chaplains... PS our Class motto; Esse Non Videri To be not to seem !!

go ahead...mess with the clown....see what happens

Good Story Eagle Eye - God bless you (+1) ... I've got a few stories of my own from flying RC-135D/Ms from Haiphong South to Da Nang, and worked in conjunction with the SR-71 missions. We had the linguists, tacticians, and ravens on-board for the 12-13 hours on station. We flew down from Kadena AFM, Okinawa to our station, then back - 18.5-21 hours. I was also flying my second mission on the day of the Tet offensive, when the whole country was on fire...awful stuff..! God's hand was definitely upon both of us (Psalm 91) - you to be a pastor and me an evangelist (33+ years). Definitely....to God be the Glory..!

Would be a nice turn of events to make it look like a mistake... Instead poison the water, food and the bullets explode instead of firing when shot

FACTS, they seem to be a reoccurring problem for the global warming “true believers” (I find this term appropriate, as they use the term “denier”). True believers use THEORIES, which all come from computer models (and they still have to doctor the input data in order to coincide with their THEORIES), not FACTS. The FACTS always show the true believers THEORIES to be incorrect and this has been documented for many years. The latest UN report is just another example of the true believers longstanding modus operandi of manipulating or omitting data in order to continue the charade. Leading up to the 2014 UN report it was commonly known that there has been no surface temperature warming for over 15 years. SPIEGEL: Just since the turn of the millennium, humanity has emitted another 400 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, yet temperatures haven't risen in nearly 15 years. What can explain this? Storch: So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We're facing a puzzle. Recent CO2 emissions have actually risen even more steeply than we feared. As a result, according to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years. That hasn't happened. In fact, the increase over the last 15 years was just 0.06 degrees Celsius (0.11 degrees Fahrenheit) -- a value very close to zero. This is a serious scientific problem that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have to confront when it presents its next Assessment Report late next year. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/interview-hans-von-storch-on-problems-with-climate-change-models-a-906721.html How was this inconvenient FACT dealt with in the UN report? It was simply omitted. The same way the true believers dealt with the FACT of the “Medieval cooling period” in the 2000 UN report. That year, the graph submitted in the report removed the data that was submitted in the 1990 UN report in order to show their THEORIES and computer models were correct (explained in the video below). Even though the FACT that there has not been any warming for the last 15 years was not in the 2014 UN report, there are now 52 “explanations” as to why their THEORIES and computer models do not jibe with real world conditions. http://dailycaller.com/2014/09/12/there-are-now-52-explanations-for-the-pause-in-global-warming/ For those paying attention, this is not news. Since the release of hacked emails from University of East Anglia in 2009 it has been known that the true believers will do anything to keep their cash cow giving milk ($$$$). No depth is too low a stoop to keep the $$$ flowing. Data manipulation, bastardizing the peer review process, and flat out deleting data are not considered problematic for the true believers. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748704888404574547730924988354 Even the “97% of climate scientists agree that man made global warming is real” is another shining example of telling a lie often enough it becomes the truth to some. The 97% figure is what true believers parrot, but probably do not know where the number originated. The mainstream media and climate-alarmist blogosphere uncritically accepted the Cook study and trumpeted the consensus claims as gospel. We reported on May 21 ("Global Warming 'Consensus': Cooking the Books") on the critiques of the Cook study by experts who show that Cook cooked the data. Out of the nearly 12,000 scientific papers Cook’s team evaluated, only 65 endorsed Cook’s alarmist position. That’s less than one percent, not 97 percent. Moreover, as we reported, the Cook study was flawed from the beginning, using selection parameters designed to weight the outcome in favor of the alarmist position. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/15624-cooking-climate-consensus-data-97-of-scientists-affirm-agw-debunked I could go on and on, but time does not allow. I would ask any of the true believers out there to present some actual FACTS to back up your THEORIES. I will close with the video below. Admittedly it is long, but it covers many of the true believers lies that are used to support their THEORIES. As a true believer would you care to explain how the fact of more Arctic ice now than 2 years ago fits into your theory?
