Today’s notable events bode ill for our culture…

Today is the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 where the death toll was 2,390, mostly military personnel.  To put this attack in perspective, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the death toll was 2,752, mostly civilians.  Eight years later, we are still tiptoeing around the Islamic ideology that conceived, carried out, and applauded that attack.  How different our reaction was to Pearl Harbor.  Much more decisive, wouldn’t you say?

In Copenhagen today we have the global warming conference.  The world’s biggest danger was declared to be carbon monoxide.  It is likely that our world’s power structure will adopt global policies that will control the cars we buy, how much we drive, how much excrement our livestock produce, how much meat we’re allowed to eat, how often we can BBQ, and how deeply we exhale.   Our gullible media and Obama and his control freak administration is eating it up.

National news media reports an “American” as one of the terrorists in the attack on Mumbai, India, last year.  He was labeled “a Chicago man.”  Not once in the two separate reports I viewed (FOX and ABC) was it mentioned that this Muslim terrorist was a Muslim.   The insanity still insists we identify evil with America, and deny the evil of Islam.  Very odd.   We still hear the generals and media and Congress puzzling over the reasons for Islamic aggression and terror.

Separation of Science and State

I thought of two “unfortunatelies” this morning.  One “unfortunately” is our success in separating Church and State, the result of which is the isolation of western moral values from government and public institutions.

The other “unfortunately” is our failure to separate Science and State.  It is becoming more and more certain that political agendas have manipulated science to the point of becoming worse than a religion.  The “Global Warming science” is showing itself to be an outright lie and deception.  At least religion is understood for what it is - belief based on “faith”:  Trust in things not seen.  However, science sets itself out to be based on observable evidence – things seen.  And it appears that, for political purposes, this “observable evidence” has been perverted for political purposes. 

I would much rather have Church and State than Science and State.  At least we known what we’ve got with religion.  And contributions are voluntary.

Discrediting “Green”

The continuing existence of Van Jones as Obama’s “Green Czar” is discrediting both the “green movement” and the office of the president.

Not that that green movement has much credibility among thinking Americans in the first place. Several examples:

- The highly debatable global warming policies: – should we sacrifice our coal industry, our greatest source of energy – to achieve the ridiculous objective of reversing global warming that we are not causing and which may not really exist? Spending billions in increased energy costs, all in the midst of “the great recession?”

- Reliance on technologies that do not exist or are premature to provide any significant source of energy or cost savings. The compact fluorescent bulb (life expectancy is highly inflated and disposal is a nightmare) and windmills (where’s the multi-billion dollar grid to connect them?) come to mind.

- This “green” thing is a half-baked populist fad, unhinged from any reliable cost/benefit analysis or economic feasibility - driven by a heard mentality headed for a cliff.

Van Jones is its perfect leader. An avowed communist, radical ties throughout most of his life up to and including the present. His defenders say he gave up his communism two years ago. Not very likely. He continues his associations with fellow radicals in the White House.

The green movement has enough problems with credibility without Van Jones. This man discredits the cause.
