Religious Tolerance?

The King Obama comedy tour rolled into Egypt today  and I must tell you this guy is hillarious.

In one joke he says,

"And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."

This master comedian, Barack Hussein Obama, was able to say this with a straight face!  Of course the reason it is funny is that he is delivering this to people who even in the 21st century often have no tolerance whatsoever for other religions.  They routinely imprison or murder people for their faith if is not muslim and this is especially true if they are Christians.

And if there is a terrorist attack anywhere in the world who is almost without fail involved in the heinous act designed to kill innocent people?  Islamic extremists which are also called muslims.

Yes, they are really tolerant of the Jews too don't you think?  Very tolerant people indeed. Forget that they have attacked Israel time and time again over their hatred of others and have declared they don't even have a right to exist. 

And these people who "demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality", as the comedian Obama said today in his comedy act, get along real well among themselves don't you think?

"Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (85%) and Shi'a (15%). The schism developed in the late 7th century following disagreements over the religious and political leadership of the Muslim community. Islam is the predominant religion in much of Africa and the Middle East, as well as in major parts of Asia.^[9] "

Sound familiar?  Yes that's right, the Sunni and the Shia are at war with one another more often than they are "demonstrating religious tolerance".  This was a big part of the problem in trying to unite Iraq and it was so bad that Joe Biden thought we should have just split the country into pieces for each of the warring factions in this peaceful religion.

Of course he also had to say a bunch of other things that were factually incorrect.  Get a load of this one...

"As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam.  It was Islam -- at places like Al-Azhar -- that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment.  It was innovation in Muslim communities -- (applause) -- it was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed.  Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation."

So maybe he does write his own speeches since they seem like they came from the pen of an airhead.... if they were to be taken seriously.  But as I have discovered and revealed to those who read my commentaries the man is actually a master comedian and so the mystery has been solved as to why a President of the United States would routinely make statements that are laughable. 

And for one more good laugh, Obama says we are going to put an end to torture here in the US while talking to people who mostly live under Kings and dictators and whose citizens are often thrown into brutal prisons or murdered, often by having their heads chopped off, without any due process whatsoever.  (LOL)  This Obama's got Leno beat.... (LOL).

Hurricanes, Models, and Suckers

Written on 09/03/08

One of the "scientific" justifications for pontification by Al Gore and other hucksters is computer modeling.  These people look into the camera with a straight face and tell you the models show that man made global warming is occuring and is a scientific fact.... the debate is over Gore says.

As a computer scientist, I can make a computer model show that you are an alligator if you like.  Don't like reptiles?  OK, I'll make you a monkey then.... or any other outcome that you desire.  All I do is tweak a few parameters and Presto! you are an elephant if that is the outcome needed to keep that research grant money rolling in.

Simulations and models can be useful, but when it comes to predicting the temperature of the earth 100 years from now they are useless.  Want proof?

Volcanoes and sunspot activities can greatly affect the energy that reaches the earth and thereby greatly affect the final outcome of the temperature of the earth during a given period.  Now let me ask you, do you think these people can say for sure how many volcanoes will erupt and what the magnitude of those eruptions will be in the next 100 years?

Do you think they can tell you precisely what the solar activity will be during that time?  Hint:  In 2006 they predicted as many as 18 hurricanes.... going to be a bad year for the US they said.  We had zero hurricanes.  Last month they were surprised at the lack of sunspot activity.

So ask them to tell you precisely what it will be in, oh say the year 2056 for example.  And if they are sure of what it will be then demand proof they have correctly predicted in advance exactly what the solar activity was going to be over the last few years.  They can't do it.  They can guess.  They can estimate.  But they can't say for sure.

Now consider hurricane Gustav with non stop news coverage for 5 days.  They had lots of different computer models, all of which had different predictions of an event that would take place within days....not 100 years from now.

Even when the hurricane was within 24 hours of landfall they could not say for sure exactly where it would hit and what the category would be.  Why?  Because the computer models are simply not that accurate.

So the next time you hear Al Gore or other global warming nuts spouting off about how they know the earth is going to warm 1 degree in the next 100 years because of man's activities, just imagine them as a carnival barker trying to get ignorant suckers into their circus tent.

And if you hear a Presidential candidate telling you that we will look back at this moment and realize that it was the time the earth began to heal and the oceans began to recede then you know that this is almost certainly a carnival barker who is simply on a bigger stage.

They hire carnival barkers for their speaking ability.... which is Obama's main asset provided he has a teleprompter.  To confirm my suspicions about his true experience and background though, I just want to hear him say...

"HURRY, HURRY, HURRY..... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.... RIGHT THIS WAY......"

Then we will know for sure that he has in fact held at least one job in his life.

Why Hate Liberal Views?

Written on 08/26/08

Why do I personally despise and genuinely hate the views of the modern day liberal?

Speaker Pelosi just gave us a great example... a real case study.

You only have two choices with these people.  Either they are so incredibly stupid its beyond belief or they think you are so incredibly stupid that you will take them seriously and believe what they say.  Either way it angers me.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says on national television we simply don't know when life begins and the Catholic church has been confused about this too.  It's embarrasing and laughable for the Speaker of the House, 3rd in line to be the President of the United States behind the VP, to make such a moronic statement.

These are the people who want to provide sex education in our schools.  Do they teach the kids it is unclear how and when life begins in these classes?

I'm serious... people like Pelosi need to be laughed at when they make these types of mind numbingly stupid statements and then the interviewer should personally escort them off the stage or out of the studio while laughing in their face.

In the remaining time he/she could laugh hysterically and ask his listeners, did you hear that?  The Speaker doesn't know how babies are made!  (LOL).  She doesn't know that drilling is how you get oil... she thinks it's a hoax! (LOL).

Then he could get more serious and see if there is some way the woman could be removed from office.  On Star Trek the Captain could be removed from command if the doctor certified he was unfit for duty.  Speaker Pelosi, it's time for you to get an examination.

Of course if you would say "drilling for oil is a hoax", which she did, I guess you could say we just have no idea of how and when life begins.  It's all so confusing don't you know.

I Know Dr. John Jackson - Shroud

Written 08/19/08

In the early 90s I was an Air Force officer stationed in Colorado Springs, CO.  I was the Test Director for NORAD's  missile warning system inside Cheyenne Mountain and other command centers around the world.

One of my test team members was a personal friend with Dr. Jackson.  He invited him to give me and the test team a personal briefing on the shroud; it was quite interesting to say the least.

The skeptics have several problems if they are willing to consider all the facts objectively.  For example:

1.  They say it was created around the 13th century, but the fact is when you look at art created in that time, the art is somewhat crude and nothing even remotely like the shroud.  In fact, to my knowledge nobody has been able to recreate the shroud even now after we had the technology to put men on the moon.

Are we to assume an artist who could do something like this would be anonymous?

2.  The detailed picture on the cloth was first discovered when a picture was taken in the late 1800s.  This is because it is a photographic negative.  If created in the 13th century, this was long before photography.

3.  They used a device called a V8 analyzer.  This shows a 3d picture with depth when analyzed which does not happen with a normal painting.

4.  Pollen samples found on the cloth show that it was in fact in the area where Jesus was crucified.

5.  The detail of this picture is absolutely incredible, to include front and back details exactly as the scripture says from the beatings, crown of thorns, etc. Even the blood stains are at the proper angle if someone had been crucified and the nail marks are in the right place to support a crucifiction.  Even the roman devices they used to whip and flog people matched.

There is more, but you get the point.  Nobody can say for sure if it is real, but if not, this would have to be the most incredible forgery in history created by some anonymous guy hundreds of years ago.

Stupidity Preference

Written on 06/20/08

What would you prefer this time, the stupid Republicans or the even more stupid Democrats?

The flood this year was caused by..... drum roll please..... MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING according to the White House!!!

 

http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=8400633&ch=4226722&src=news

 

Until the temperature of the earth warmed up almost one degree over the last hundred years minus the 3/4 of a degree it dropped last year, leaving a grand total of 1/4 of a degree over the last one hundred years.... the earth never experienced any floods, hurricanes, or weather disasters of any kind, right?

 

But now we are in a climate crisis because the average earth temperature has increased about 1/4 of a degree over the last 100 years all because of the evil US pumping out all that carbon dioxide you know.  If you don't believe it, just pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV news.  The issue is settled; no need for further investigation or debate on this one.

 

Here is a couple of things you may or may not know....

 

1.  Carbon dioxide forms approximately 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere.

2.  Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% percent of total CO₂ emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth. For example, the natural decay of organic material in forests and grasslands, such as dead trees, results in the release of about 220 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide every year. This carbon dioxide alone is over 8 times the amount emitted by humans.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_the_Earth's_atmosphere

 

So by all means, let's blame the flood on man made global warming.... if we had only listened to Al Gore sooner none of this would have happened.

 

By the way, the water is headed toward New Orleans.  Any bets on whether the citizens of that town will have sense enough to evacuate this time if the situation looks serious?  Or shall we blame President Bush while holding the Democratic Governor, Mayor, and citizens of New Orleans blameless once again?

Engine Damage from Ethanol

Written on 05/28/08

Got an energy problem?

 

Not to worry, the government (run by brains such as Maxine Waters and Dick Durbin) will design a program to solve this problem for you. Their solution:  Ethanol.

 

Results:

 

- Skyrocketing food prices in the US because of this policy

 

- Severe food shortages in other parts of the world as a byproduct of using food for fuel in the US and food riots and deaths in several countries from our government program to solve the energy "crisis".

 

- Using 33% of the land normally used for other crops to raise corn - produces enough ethanol for 3% of our energy needs.  Unless stopped by new legislation these figures are supposed to rise next year.

 

- Trees are being cut down by the millions in 3rd world countries so the now starving people can raise food - another indirect effect of the policy... so instead of helping the environment the ethanol program is harming the environment.

 

- 1700 gallons of water required to produce 1 gallon of ethanol

 

- About as much oil energy used to create the ethanol as it produces

 

- Corrosion problems in pipelines

 

- Vehicles get less mileage on a gallon of Ethanol than they do a gallon of gasoline

 

- Taxpayers charged 51 cents per gallon for subsidizing the production of ethanol - a "hidden" cost

 

-   Now we are learning that ethanol is causing engine damage to boot!

 

Can we please have the government solve our health care problems too... can we please?

Global Cooling?

Written 02/27/08

DailyTech, IL - Feb 26, 2008

 

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming.

 

The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough

to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. ...

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded.

China has its coldest winter in 100 years.  Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history.

 

http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature+Monitors+Report+Worldwide+Global+Cooling/article10866.htm

 

I'm starting a new movement:  Save our planet...drive an SUV!

 

Guess there are a lot of lemmings out there that kind of followed Al Gore off a cliff because the media showed a Polar Bear on an iceberg, heh? Yeah, let's raise  everyone's utility and energy costs by 50% or more to stop global warming....it's an emergency you know... don't have but about 10 years before it's too late they said,,,,idiots!

 

They ignore all the data that shows earth temperature is highly correlated to the sun's activity and also influenced by major catastrophic events such as volcanoes or large meteor impacts.

 

Cults and hoaxes don't die easily... the man-made global warming hoax won't either.
