Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate and now the darling who plays guitar on Fox News, wants to engage in mass murder.  “The U.S. should support an Israeli military strike against Iranian nuclear installations if the Jewish state, fearing diplomacy has failed, ultimately takes that course of action, stated former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee,” reports WorldNetDaily.

WASHINGTON — Social Security’s annual surplus nearly evaporated in 2009 for the first time in 25 years as the recession led hundreds of thousands of workers to retire or claim disability. The impact of the recession is likely to hit the giant retirement system even harder this year and next.

WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama’s administration announced plans Monday for a new office handling climate change, aiming to help businesses chart future plans as the nation shifts to a greener economy.  The first practical effect was the creation of a website, www.climate.gov, which came online Monday and brings together government resources on climate change for business, scholars and the general public.

Perhaps it is just the product of the times in which I grew up and my experience with the events of the world. Or perhaps it is the spin that has been added to the word “global,” endowing it with an almost spiritual quality.  Mostly, though, I think it is my utter disgust with “global warming,” having spent the better part of three decades striving to defeat this plot to enable all forms of governmental intrusion into people’s lives and choices.

You have to wonder about Sarah Palin. Is she really a patriotic conservative or just one more in a long line of “business as usual” Republcans?  She just spoke at the big Tea Party rally in Nashville, Tennessee. Supposedly she got a fee of $100,000 for her appearance there. That’s a bit more expansive than giving a speech somewhere and having the sponsors pick up your dinner tab.

ARIVACA - No More Deaths volunteers Steve Johnston and Peter Ragan walk briskly down a switchback trail with two plastic water jugs in each hand.  The men carry several more jugs inside their backpacks, and others hang from carabiners. When they reach a wash at the bottom of the hill, they set the jugs down in a bunch. On this cold and wet January day, Johnson, Ragan and Ayala Rahm leave 79 water jugs at six known illegal-immigrant trails southeast of Arivaca.

The murky circumstances of Obama’s birth invite attempts to make the known facts fit together. This article was prompted by two e-mails. The first asked me why I had never weighed in on the birth certificate controversy surrounding President Barack Obama. 

I responded that although I was troubled by the lack of documentation regarding all phases of Obama’s history — I’d be content with his SAT scores — I could not understand why any pregnant American woman would go anywhere near Kenya.

Subversives who think government is corrupt and should be controlled by the people face 10 years in prison and a $25,000 dollar fine if they fail to register with authorities in South Carolina, in another chilling example of how free speech and dissent is being criminalized in America.

The state’s “Subversive Activities Registration Act” is now officially on the books and mandates that “Every member of a subversive organization, or an organization subject to foreign control, every foreign agent and every person who advocates, teaches, advises or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States … shall register with the Secretary of State.”

MEXICO CITY - For months, the leaders of Tancitaro had held firm against the drug lords battling for control of this central Mexican town.  Then one morning, after months of threats and violence from the traffickers, they finally surrendered.

As former Rep. J.D. Hayworth prepares to officially enter the Republican primary race against incumbent Sen. John McCain, he probably had better not count on any support from FreedomWorks, the national conservative group closely associated with the Tea Party movement.  In a telephone interview with The Arizona Republic, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, FreedomWorks’ chairman, delivered a surprisingly harsh assessment of Hayworth, with whom he served on Capitol Hill:

“Palin and Armey are Neo-Conservatives as seen by who they support, they are showing where their loyalties lay, and it’s not with the Tea Party principles in action but just words to manipulate us back into the cage.  I believe these two are attempting to highjacked the Tea Party and to steer us back into the cage where we are stuck with RINOS, Neo-Cons and other misnamed Progressives like John McCain.  Palin and Armey have alienated Arizona Tea Partiers who want John McCain retired.  I doubt Palin and Armey will get a warm welcome from Arizona Tea Partiers!”  Say’s Jon Healy 

An expert on the advance of radical Islam in the United States says the Muslim Brotherhood is effectively employing a strategy of presenting “Islam lite” to organizations, including Christian churches. Dorothy Cutter, coordinator for the Hartford, Conn., chapter of Aglow Islamic Awareness, part of a national chain of Christian fellowships that study how Islamic law motivates Muslims to participate in jihad, said she heard of a United Church of Christ congregation where an Islamic speaker was a guest.

THEY sang her praises with a country music twang in Nashville yesterday, but not even the sugary lyrics of a specially written Sarah Palin song — Change You Won’t Regret — could hide the tensions between the former Alaska governor and the dyspeptic conservative rabble-rousers collectively known as Tea Party Nation.  As the keynote speaker at the first national convention of the right-wing grassroots activists shaking up Republican politics, Palin was assured of an international spotlight last night as she paid tribute to the “everyday Americans” and “likeminded folks” who have turned anger and frustration at government policies into a 21stcentury revival of the Boston tea party revolt of 1773

(Delhi, February 8)  “Pakistan Shows its True Colours,” screamed angry headlines here this morning after Pakistani Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi abruptly and defiantly refused to schedule talks with India about the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai and the countries’ longstanding dispute over Kashmir.  Those attacks left 173 people dead.  The terrorist group, Lashkar e Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which shook this nation of over a billion people.

In response to letter writer Mary Rogue, I would like to point out that Abdoulaye Wade, the President of Senegal, offered free land to Haitian refugees, even an entire region depending upon how many took up his offer. [Senegal offers land to Haitians that want to come, By Rukmini Callimachi, Associated Press, January 16, 2009]

Senegal, which has a slightly larger population than Haiti but is over seven times bigger, has large swathes of undeveloped land and decent annual rainfall.

Cost of the corruption of climate science by the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) is likely a trillion dollars already and there is no measure of the lives lost because of unnecessary reactions like biofuels affecting food supplies. Stories appear about the corruption at the IPCC and others about the leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU). Most people, including the media, don’t seem to realize the IPCC is the CRU. Some articles mention both but don’t make the connection. A recent article in the Globe and Mail is a good example.

President Obama has picked to advise him on military actions inside the U.S. the Missouri governor whose state “Information Analysis Center” last year linked conservative organizations to domestic terrorism and said law enforcement officers should watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers from Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin. Missouri Gov. Jeremiah Nixon, a Democrat, is being joined on the Obama’s special advisory panel by the governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuno, and Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s replacement when she moved to Washington.

The narco-cartel violence continues unabated in Mexico, in fact, it’s going from bad to worse. Universal, Mexico’s paper of record, does a detailed job of keeping a running tally of the carnage.  Universal reported that, as of February 3, 2010, the death count in the drug wars had already passed 1,000. Yes, you read that right. In a little over a month, 1,015 people had been killed.

DPS Officer Robert Bailey says a man driving a U-haul truck called authorities at about 1 p.m. He told them his family was being held hostage and he was being forced to drive the truck filled with illegal immigrants to Mexico.

The man also told officers there were three men in the back of the truck with high powered rifles and if he didn’t do what they said his family would be killed

The liberals are all trying to influence Americans in believing that they want “Middle of the road” Republicans so the liberals can keep their 5th column in power in the Republican party to stay in control.  Middle of the ground, luke warm, mushy individuals with no conservative conviction and rather are well practiced in subversion.  They are known as RINO’s.  John McCain is perfect example of what a RINO is  and they are no different than Progressives, RINO/Progressive….same thing!!!!  Don’t be fooled, Conservative Americans and Tea Party goers don’t want luke warm Polticians sell outs anymore.  They want true Conservatives with a pair!

Some think that the problems with the Republican party can best be solved by striking out to create a third party. But the problems with the GOP are almost certain to be repeated in trying to create any third party. The two most basic elements a political party, structure and financing, help insure that the men and women who run it will be good at fundraising and finding compromises between different factions and members. Which are the key qualifications of the Republican leadership. And always have been.

NASHVILLE – As Sarah Palin left the stage at the inaugural National Tea Party Convention here Saturday night, the crowd erupted into chants of “Run Sarah Run!”  “I think you like her!” said Judson Phillips, the chief organizer of the convention, when the ovation finally stopped and people had stepped down from the chairs where they had been standing and waving flags.

“Global warming is a crock of s*%t!”

When Bob Lutz, vice-chairman of General Motors, said this in February 2008, it immediately became the most widely distributed quote regarding global warming on the Internet. After all, this was one of the major power players in the automobile industry, and he was implying that anyone who believed that global warming was real, man-made, and altering the planet was something akin to a moron. But the problem with that quote is that it’s incomplete. I know. I was there.

President Barack Obama said some interesting things in his Jan. 27 State of the Union address. They’re interesting not so much because they’re lies, but because the political class — the kind of people who field lobbyists in Washington and file lawsuits for the ACLU and edit major American newspapers — was so confident that these utterances were lies that it simply ignored what might otherwise have been some earthshaking developments.

Arapahoe County will become the first law enforcement agency in Colorado to begin identifying criminals, missing children and seniors using biometric analysis of the human iris. A technician from the software and hardware developer demonstrated how their device analyzes the iris, which has 235 identifying points of reference, versus a fingerprint’s 65.
“Fingerprints change but irises stay stable throughout your life,” said Patricia Lawton of Biometric Intelligence and Identifying Technologies, “Which is why it’s a great biometric to identify somebody with.”

A gun rights organization has launched a petition effort to build opposition to plans being discussed by U.S. officials and the United Nations that could result in the confiscation and destruction of privately owned firearms inside the U.S. The online petition, run by officials with the National Association for Gun Rights, offers participants a conduit to tell their U.S. senators a “Small Arms Treaty”‘  being discussed is “nothing more than a massive global gun control scheme, designed to register, ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens.”

Undersecretary for management at the State Department, Patrick F. Kennedy, told Congress that the State Department wanted to keep crotch bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab out of the U.S., but that intelligence agencies insisted that Abdulmutallab be let into the country.

“So let me get this straight, we are in a WAR on terror,  we are investigating individuals who are involved in terrorism, and one of these “Suspects’ are allowed to board a plane headed to the U.S., a favored target by terrorist, to futher the investigation , so we can stop terrorist attacks?!!!!  Sounds like a keystone cop investigation, or agency involvement as a false flag operation with idiots at the controls!!!”  Say’s Jon Healy

Rep. Mike Noel, the Legislature’s chief climate-change skeptic, declared Thursday that global warming is a conspiracy to control world population.  The House Natural Resources Committee then approved a resolution that expresses the Utah Legislature’s belief that “climate alarmists’ carbon dioxide-related global warming hypothesis is unable to account for the current downturn in global temperatures.”

No WAY is Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis going to be the only one to answer for the acquisition of crappy Merrill Lynch and its crappy bonuses, “a person close to Lewis’s defense team” (who may or may not be Ken Lewis himself) tells Charlie Gasparino today on the Daily Beast.

“When criminals turn against eachother the truth begins to surface and heads roll.  Let’s hope Lewis spills the beans on Bernake and Paulson.” Say’s Jon Healy

Sarah Palin hit the nail on the head when she told the Tea Party Nation Convention that this repeated mantra of ‘bi-partisanship’ needs to find exit. Quickly. Like right now. When Congressmen continue to boast on their bi-partisanship, it reveals their lack of conviction. That’s the upshot of what Palin was declaring.

Normally, after I wrap up several weeks worth of research that leads up to my naming the annual VDARE.COM Worst Immigration Reporter Award [VDWIRA], I turn completely away from the subject of rotten journalism.

During the year, as I read immigration stories and columns, I look for repeat offenders and make a file from which my finalists will be chosen.
