"A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home," said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. "Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption." In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month. In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more ...

I just had a letter to the editor published in my small town Ohio newpaper yesterday and thought it might be interesting to see what a conservative group of independent thinkers might have to say about my letter. Here it is: Dear Editor: I've been hearing a whole lot lately about opening up more and more of our natural wildlife areas to allow drilling for oil. My "stupid question", one that's been nagging at me for a while, is what guarantees would we have that the oil stays in America? Corporations are profit driven and they have a duty to their stockholders to sell their product at the highest profit margin they can. So let's assume that our oil companies hit a real bonanza. What possible incentive would they have to sell at a lower price in America? I don't believe there are currently any incentives or disincentives strong enough to keep that oil flowing only within our borders. I think that before we do anything that might result in relaxed drilling restrictions, we better make certain federal laws are in place to keep that oil in ...

Brigitte was told later that some 100,000 phone calls poured into the Capitol in support of the amendment written to protect Americans who report suspicious activity from liability lawsuits. (The catalyst for the amendment was a lawsuit filed on behalf of the "flying imams", the Muslim clerics who had been removed from a US Airways flight in Minneapolis). "People power" prevailed and the amendment passed almost 3 to 1, and today is the law of the land. Americans are free from "lawsuit terrorism" intended to intimidate them into silence when they see suspicious activity. Now we need to work to be free from foreign oil dependency. The commentary below shows it can be done - but the voice of the people is going to have to rise up and demand it be done. ________________________________________________________________ Iran and Brazil Can Do It.

The list of signers features scientists from all disciplines, including physics, climate research, mathematics and engineering. It has more than nine thousand scientists with PhDs. The institute says the large number of signers contradicts the claim that there is a scientific consensus about human responsibility for climate change. And, it points out the petition has more than 15 times as many scientists as the number involved in the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I went on the internet to check this out before posting and this is one of many sources that give confirmation as well as a contact phone to the O.I.S.M.

My wife and I enjoy a wide variety of movies. We like westerns, military, certain types of drama, obviously comedy, and we are most definitly Sci Fi enthusists. (We're Trekies) no we don't dress up like fangorian mud beasts and go to conventions (though my wife does work in the convention industry setting up the shows). Until I met my wife I was never much of a Mystery Movie person. As a child I was more into the old Twlight Zone, Outer Limits, Attack of the Monster from Planet wherever type of stuff. (Maybe it's a guy thing? Cars and B monster movies?) Anyway, after meeting my wife I started watching and began to enjoy Mysteries. Now a Sci Fi Mystery, a tub of popcorn, a large soda. and don't forget the all important "RED VINES" OH-----YAAAAAAA!!!!! , I'm a happy camper at a movie. Well, my wife and I both like Alfred Hitchcock style and type movies, in fact we prefer movies that are not "graphic" but rather the type of movies that let your imagination create an even better movie, so it ...

Billions have been poured into developing sugar- and grain-based ethanol and biodiesel to help wean rich economies from their addiction to carbon-belching fossil fuels, the overwhelming source of man-made global warming. Heading the rush are the United States, Brazil and Canada , which are eagerly transforming corn, wheat, soy beans and sugar cane into cleaner-burning fuel, and the European Union (EU) is to launch its own ambitious programme. But as soaring prices for staples bring more of the planet's most vulnerable people face-to-face with starvation, the image of biofuels has suddenly changed from climate saviour to a horribly misguided experiment. On Friday, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said biofuels "posed a real moral problem" and called for a moratorium on using food crops to power cars, trucks and buses. The vital problem of global warming "has to be balanced with the fact that there are people who are going to starve to death," said Dominique Strauss-Kahn . "Producing biofuels is a crime against humanity," ...

The future of our civilization lies in the balance.   That’s the battle cry of the High Priest of Global Warming Al Gore and his fellow, agenda driven disciples as they predict a calamitous outcome from anthropogenic global warming.   According to Mr. Gore the polar ice caps will collapse and melt and sea levels will rise 20 feet inundating the ...

Noted environmentalist and author Lawrence Solomon says there is a vast historical record dating back hundreds of years that could provide some insight to this phenomenon. "There has been a coincidence over the centuries of an absence of sunspots correlating with very cold temperatures, and a presence of sunspots corresponding to warm periods," he explains.   Solomon notes that over 1,000 years ago during the medieval warm period there was increased sunspot activity, and then that activity slowed down as Earth entered the Little Ice Age of the late 1700s to mid-1800s. He also says that, during the last century, the sun had increased sunspot activity, which correlated with a period of warming.   "After the current warming that we had in the 1900s, the sunspots have diminished. And that's one reason that scientists think that we may be entering a little ice age. There are other ...
