Gun Control Is Based On False Premises

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 24, 2008 8:31:07 PM
Even with their flawed assumptions exposed, what is especially insidious is that gun control does not work. The results of their policies are abject failures. Whether in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, New York or Chicago, gun control does not work.

Just Another Gaffe-Filled Sunrise

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 24, 2008 2:49:21 PM

How often did Quayle misspell potato?


Somewhere in Indiana, Dan Quayle sits fuming over a breakfast of eggs and potatoes. He misspelled potato once — once! — and the media painted him as an illiterate idiot. Barack Obama can’t remember the name of the city he’s in for the second time, and it barely makes a splash

. . . How many times did Gerald Ford bump his head before comedians started portraying the former star athlete as an uncoordinated boob?

The Gaffe Machine keeps going and going and going.

Barack Obama–promoted by the Left and the media as an all-knowing, articulate, transcendent Messiah–is a walking, talking gaffe machine. How many more passes does he get? How many more can we afford?

Science

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, May 24, 2008 1:08:28 AM
Global Warming’s New ‘Consensus’ - There’s a new global warming consensus in town. It’s too bad the once-level-headed, but now chicken-hearted Bush Administration has already skedaddled, perhaps leaving our standard of living at the mercy of Barack Obama and his high regard for the international hate-America crowd. (Steven Milloy, FoxNews.com)

31,000 Signatures Prove ‘No Consensus’ About Global Warming - Presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Monday that “we have to get used to the idea that we can’t keep our houses at 72, drive our SUVs and eat all we want.” Arthur B. Robinson, president and professor of chemistry at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, has a different response.

“I don’t want to give up eating all I want because of a failed hypothesis,” said Robinson at the National Press Club here on May 19. Robinson said global warming is not a threat to America. He said that the global temperature increased by just .5 degrees in the last century. (AIM)

Endangered Specious - Alaska says it will sue to challenge the listing of polar bears as a threatened species. The designation could block vital oil and gas development. But that was the whole point in the first place. (IBD)

State's fever on global warming may be cooling - The state's costly, grandiose scheme to combat global warming is finding resistance from many of the same folks who approved it two years ago. Meanwhile, legislative opposition also is growing to the plan to create a global warming state think tank financed by a utility users' surcharge.

It appears that paying for saving mankind from a projected 1- or 2-degree increase in temperature over the next century already is proving too costly in today's limited dollars. (Appeal Democrat)

Oil Industry, Lawmakers Aim To Lift Bans on Drilling - Mounting concerns about global energy supply are fueling a drive by the oil industry and some U.S. lawmakers to end longstanding bans on domestic drilling put in place to protect environmentally sensitive areas.

Increasing U.S. oil production would require overturning decades-old moratoriums that limit offshore drilling and accelerating leasing of federal lands, moves that would trigger a swift and vigorous political backlash. Still, as gasoline prices continue to climb and squeeze household budgets, the momentum appears to be gaining to open up new areas. (Wall Street Journal)

Italy Plans to Resume Building Atomic Plants - ROME — Italy announced Thursday that within five years it planned to resume building nuclear energy plants, two decades after a public referendum resoundingly banned nuclear power and deactivated all its reactors.

“By the end of this legislature, we will put down the foundation stone for the construction in our country of a group of new-generation nuclear plants,” said Claudio Scajola, minister of economic development. “An action plan to go back to nuclear power cannot be delayed anymore.”

The change is a striking sign of the times, reflecting growing concern in many European countries over the skyrocketing price of oil and energy security, and the warming effects of carbon emissions from fossil fuels. All have combined to make this once-scorned form of energy far more palatable.

“Italy has had the most dramatic, the most public turnaround, but the sentiments against nuclear are reversing very quickly all across Europe — Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Germany and more,” said Ian Hore-Lacey, spokesman for the World Nuclear Association, an industry group based in London.

House Of Oil Repute

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 10:50:56 PM
Democrats oppose extracting 10 billion barrels of oil from ANWR because it won't affect prices, but want to tap our strategic reserve of 700 million because it will. Come again?

It Pays To Be Elected

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 10:39:32 PM
It's curious how so many lawmakers enter office with little, yet accumulate tens of millions in assets over the years. Nothing wrong with building wealth, but cashing in while serving the public looks bad.

Safe From Truth

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 9:20:55 PM
House Democrats have passed a bill to stifle the good news that we're winning in Iraq. They are so invested in losing that they apparently fear a popular backlash against them from victory.

Read Full Article

In its passage last week of the defense policy bill, the House issued a prohibition against the Pentagon's "concerted effort to propagandize" the American public regarding the Iraq War.

It came in the form of an amendment authored by Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H., which also would authorize an investigation of the Defense Department's "propaganda" efforts by the Government Accountability Office.

Besides, haven't congressional Democrats insisted all these years that it wasn't the military they had a problem with regarding the Iraq War? Haven't they been saying how much they support those in uniform, that our military leaders really agreed with Democrats that Iraq was unwinnable, and that it was only the civilians who run war policy in the Bush administration they were attacking?

Defending Against The Unthinkable

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 9:15:38 PM
Both China and Russia say they strongly oppose a U.S. missile defense, but we shouldn't be swayed. Given the number of bad actors seeking nuclear weapons, giving up such a shield would be foolish.

Why Not Just Kill Them?

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 7:42:35 PM
The Democrat chair of the House committee grilling Big Oil, says drilling will make no difference to price. Really? Then why are we urging the Saudi's to pump more -- and why don't we just shut down all our domestic production if supply doesn't matter?

The Word Is "Nationalize"

Posted by On the Right on Friday, May 23, 2008 5:12:32 PM

From The National Review Online Blog;

Maxine Waters is even dimmer than I thought. In haranguing Shell Oil president John Hoffmeister yesterday, she struggles to find the appropriate term for her stupendously stupid idea.

This liberal will be all about socializing . . . uh, um, . . . will be about . . . basically . . . taking over . . . and the government running . . . all of your companies.
