McCain Pushes ‘Cap-And-Trade’ Plan to Fight Global Warming
Business and Media
GOP presidential nominee John McCain is using the idea of global togetherness to promote “a cap-and-trade system” to battle climate change.

He said “Americans and Europeans need to get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years or we will hand over a much-diminished world to our grandchildren.”

According to the Arizona senator, whose opinion column appeared in the March 19 Financial Times, the United States needs to work with Europe to create a replacement for the Kyoto treaty.

“We need a successor to Kyoto, a cap-and-trade system that delivers the necessary environmental impact in an economically responsible manner.” He said America needs to be willing to be “persuaded” by our European allies. McCain’s column was headlined “America must be a good role model.”

However, he never addressed the potential costs of his proposal.
McCain talked about Americans and Europeans leading together but only said he wanted to “encourage the participation of the rest of the world, including most importantly, the developing economic powerhouses of China and India.”
But experience has already shown that government intervention in environmental issues can have negative consequences. Ethanol mandates have artificially inflated demand for corn and affected grocery prices. And recent studies have shown ethanol isn’t any better for the environment than burning fossil fuels.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Oh shut up McCain. You aren’t helping getting yourself elected with stupid talk like that. At the very least, you could try keep up to date on the “global warming” farce instead of trying to be “popular” and parroting that idiotic nonsense..
Please God send us a miracle, send us someone else to vote for. waaaaa
McCain’s Cap and Trade system would allows for gradual reduction of emissions would control business production and create more bureaucracy to issue permits…require more accountability of govt to meet goals and deadlines.This is 1 step short of nationalizing businesses.
After they go after the big boys, Cap and Trade will be applied to you and I……we will be tracked as they drive down your standard of living.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components.

Front Page Magazine
April 21st 2008

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.

“Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.” – Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Just like the liberals and their PC demands and socialist agenda for America inch by inch getting their way in our country. I can see the followers of Islam doing the same thing. We already have seen changes happen in our country, at schools, gyms, grocery stores, airports, the list has begun.
I wish more people loved America and wanted to know what is happening. I wish they realized how the people we put in leadership have a tremendous effect on what will happen to our countries future.
But instead they chant “yes we can” and want a movement of promises labeled Change. Instead they only want to listen to the deep anger filled furrowed headed foreheads filled with hate and resentment for the shallow disappointment of being black and not white.
Too stupid to care how many Muslim groups endorse this couple the Obama’s. Too filled with themselves to care what happens to the USA in 4 years, 8 years, 12 years. Too ignorant to read and learn the damage the Clinton’s did during their reign of terror that we as a country still have not recovered from.
Lazy and selfish, these self involved twists motivated more by the me syndrome then why is my country the land of the free. How can I thank a Veteran today, how can I send a thank you to our troops for all they do.
The USA with no trouble at all could easily move up the list of higher percentages of Muslims you see above. I truly fear for the future of our land. All I can think of is how grateful I am to know each one of you and your passion for love of our beloved America. Your friendship and comments mean more to me then you will ever know, your hearts wanting the best for our country. In this I am deeply grateful.

Human Shield Movement to Iran receives 10,000th pledge
payvand’s news
The Human Shield Movement has announced it reached its 10,000th pledge member. The lucky guy to sign on as a Human Shield Volunteer number ten thousand is Steven Morris from Birmingham UK. Morris has pledged to use his body as a “human shield” against an “attack on Iran” from “neo-con” President Bush.
Steven Morris, the 10,000th pledge member of the movement said today

“I am fully committed to going to Iran to try and stop an attack on Iran. I demonstrated against the Iraq war and it made no difference. Having ten thousand Westerners will make the war-mongers think twice before they attack Iran. I do not support the Ahmadinejad regime but if we ignore international law and start bombing a sovereign nation that has not deviated from its obligations under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and offers no direct threat to any nation, the world will be an much more dangerous place.”

A spokesperson for the movement, David Tyler said today;

“Travelling to Iran as human shields is the ‘last resort’ but it seems that an attack on Iran is not just a real possibility but an imminent reality. The military and political maneuvers all seem to point to one thing, The unproven allegations that Iran is arming insurgents in Iran, the labeling of the Revolutionary Guard as terrorists, the increased military spending, the build up of forces on the Iranian borders and the unverified and unverifiable claims about Iran’s nuclear weapons program have left us in little doubt that time is running out. Traditional methods of protest are ineffective in the face of the neo-Con determination to implement their global vision. ”

“We now have our 10,000th pledge member and whilst we recognize that many of these people will not be able to actually travel to Tehran, many have already arranged Iranian visas and are ready to travel to Iran at short notice. None of the shields want to die but all are unwilling to sit by and wait for politicians to launch another disastrous war in their name. It is up to each and every one of us to do everything in our power to prevent a dangerously misguided foreign policy. Many people cannot join the movement because of commitments to family and dependents but it is incumbent on all of us to do something to our opposition to war which will once again be carried out in our name.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
LOL….You can’t make this stuff up! Tell me then: What’s the downside of an attack on Iran’s nuclear weapons program? We destroy an evil regime’s WMD and rid the world of tens-of-thousands of mindless peacecreeps in one fell swoop! BRILLIANT!
None of these “10,000” would lift a hand to defend their own nations against Muslim intrusion, but would gladly die for Iran…I can’t even imagine how truly warped liberals really are – how they can even think the way they do….good riddance to moronic fools.

McCain planning climate change tour
Examiner.com Seattle from Drudge

“We’ve gotten our hands on an advanced transcript of this weekend’s “The Chris Matthews Show” on NBC and the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Katty Kay offered this nugget during the show’s “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” segment:
“John McCain is going to be doing more of these themed tours of America, and one of them is going to be on energy and global climate change. It could get him into trouble with Republicans, of course, and with the base, who don’t think there is much climate change going on, but it is something that he’s very passionate about and he’s going to be talking about it.”

.

And this from last weeks O’Reilly show:
Fox
O’REILLY: You voted against ANWR drilling. You voted against ANWR.
MCCAIN: Yes, and I’ll vote against drilling if they want to drill in the Grand Canyon, and I’ll vote against it if they want to drill in the Everglades. And I will try to make it more attractive for Florida and California and other states to have drilling off of their coasts, but I’m not going to force them to because…
O’REILLY: But no one lives in ANWR.
MCCAIN: No, it’s pristine beauty.
O’REILLY: So what? Who sees it?
MCCAIN: Well, all I do is believe that we have to preserve some of the great natural treasures of this earth…
O’REILLY: In the Arctic Circle?
MCCAIN: …no matter where they are, my friend. And I…
O’REILLY: You know, a lot of people aren’t going to like that.
MCCAIN: I know a lot of people don’t like it, but I am also an environmentalist.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
A climate change tour…..Oh mty gosh!
I never saw anything like it how McCain could care less about the conservatives vote.
Not only that, but he is saying he believes the lies from Gore and his ilk. That is SCARY that he is so unable to tell the difference. No alarm going off inside his head when he is presented with BS vs. something that is true and actually happening.

Jenna and Dad

Jenna Bush and Henry Hager

President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush and Mr. and Mrs. Hager pose with the newly married couple, Jenna and Henry Hager, in front of the altar on Prairie Chapel Ranch Saturday, May 10, 2008, near Crawford, Texas.

Khalid Yasin (also known as Abu Muhammad, Abu Muhammad Khalid Yasin, and Abu Muhammad, Khalid Yasin’ [ 3, born in the 1950’s 4 in Brooklyn, New York.
Yasin now lives and operates his Da’wah organisation in Sheffield, England.
He founded, directs and runs the Islamic Broadcasting Corporation and The Purpose of Life Centre on Shirecliffe Lane, Sheffield. The organization was formerly known as the Islamic Teaching Institute (ITI) and the Islamic Information Network Ltd where it is believed in the past ten years, the ITI has converted more than 5,000 persons to Islam and an additional 1,700 since the September 11 attacks.
Khalid Yasin is one of the most notorious Islamic hate sheikhs in the world today. He had been widely condemned from the US to Britain to Australia for his violent Wahhabism, his extreme anti-Americanism (despite the fact that he is an American-born convert
Khalid Yasin will be lecturing at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio on May 16th, sponsored by Dayton’s Masjid-at-Taqwa.

For example, consider some of his stated positions:
* Yasin says that the US government was behind the 9/11 attacks.
* Yasin claims that AIDS was invented at a US government lab and spread by Western governments through UN agencies and Christian missionaries.
* Yasin advocates for the death penalty for homosexuality.
* Yasin justified the terrorist bombings in Bali because of years of Western oppression.
* Yasin says that the Quran permits wife-beating and that equal rights for women is a “delusion” and “foolishness”.
* Yasin calls the beliefs of Christians and Jews “filth”.
* Yasin says that Muslims cannot have non-Muslim friends.
* Yasin rejects any separation between Islam and the state and openly advocates for the reestablishment of the caliphate.
* Yasin visited Jemaah Islamiah terrorist leader Abu Bakar Bashir in prison.
* Yasin has lectured with Hizb-ut-Tahrir hatemonger Omar Bakri Mohammed, who was banned from the UK in 2006.
* Yasin was in Saudi Arabia on 9/11 soliciting support from the Al-Qaeda front Al-Haramain Foundation, which was designated a terrorist organization in 2004 by the US government, to help finance his Islamic Broadcasting Company.

22 people accept Islam After Brother Khalid Yasin lecture

He didn’t shake hands with the ladies because in Islam men and women who are not related or married are not allowed to touch each other.

…..” 22 new Australian brothers and sisters enter Islam after hearing the truth while at a lecture given by brother sheikh Khalid Yasin. They came up to the stage and took their Shahada (testimony of faith) which goes like this. I that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Muhammad is his last prophet and messenger. The minute a person says those 2 declarations they are considered Muslims and they are on their way to a new and beautiful way of life, and gain about 1.5 BILLION new brothers and sister. May Allah make their conversion easy on them in every way, and keep them strong in their new faith. Ameen”……

Wild Thing’s comment……..
What surprised me in the video was how many looked like Mom’s. I wonder if like the one woman that said her son told her to go to the meeting, I wonder if these women have sons that have taken up Islam. VERY WEIRD!!!!
I wonder if this guy is hoping Obama will win. Probably!

Here is the new pin replete with all 57 stars:
from Suitably Flip blog
Patriotic Barack Obama lapel pins unveiled honoring all 57 states
LA Times
Yesterday The Ticket broke the stunning news of America’s acquisition of seven, maybe eight, new states, according to future president Barack Obama.
Besides trying to noodle out what the new states are, some clever campaign folks over at the phenomenal Suitably Flip blog got to thinking right away.
And they’ve now unveiled a new patriotic lapel pin that anyone can wear with pride even, say, a Harvard-educated senator from Illinois who’s been trying to make a point about opposing a war before it even started.

Let’s all give a warm, manifestly destined welcome to what I assume are our 7 newest states:

51. Puerto Rico
52. Guam
53. Northern Mariana
54. American Samoa
55. St. Croix
56. St. Thomas
57. St. John

I guess we should’ve seen this coming when Obama was reported to be meeting unofficially with the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands when he took his family on “vacation” to St. Thomas.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
I have to wonder if what Obama was thinking of might even have been this…….
ICCI to set up firms in 57 states
Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI)
LAHORE, March 7: Foras Investment Company, a subsidiary of the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) is planning to set up 200 companies in 57 member countries of the OIC over a period of five years.
“Under a ten-year Muslim Ummah Development Plan, Islamic chamber has set up Foras (the Arabic word for opportunity) to accelerate the process of economic development across the Muslim Ummah,” said Chief Executive Officer of Foras Investment Company Hatim Jamil Mukhtar while giving a briefing to a select-gathering of businessmen at the FPCCI zonal office here on Wednesday.
Mr Hatim said that Foras created with a paid-up capital of $100m, would set up five sub-holding companies with headquarters in Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, Cairo and Dakkar (Senegal) to expedite the process of company formation in all the 57 countries of the Muslim world.
Foras chief said that the paid-up capital of the company would soon be raised to $200 million from the present level of $100 million, hoping that the seed money provided by the Islamic chamber would help accelerate the process of investment all over the Islamic world.
He said that the company had started work on the preparation of investment road map for 10 Muslim countries, including Pakistan. Mr Hatim said that the steps being taken by the ICCI and Foras would lead to the formation of economic consortium of the Islamic world.
He said that the companies were set up for the promotion of diverse fields ranging from bio-technology to information technology and infrastructure.—APP

Michelle Says NO To Hill For Veep
NYPost
by Robert Novak
May 10, 2008

CLOSE-in supporters of Sen. Barack Obama’s presi dential campaign are convinced he never will offer the vice-presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Clinton for one overriding reason: Michelle Obama.
Obama’s wife didn’t comment on other rival candidates, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer.
Obama sources say those public utterances don’t reveal the extent of her hostility.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
I guess that’s that. LOL The Michelle has spoken! Is she going to Veto the bills too?
Michelle is dumber than a bag of bricks – she never thinks before she talks – she can’t tolerate Hillary. LOL

Sgt. 1st Class Sharon G. McBride

“My Mommy Wears Combat Boots,” was written by Sgt. 1st Class Sharon G. McBride before her second deployment, partly to explain to her daughter why she would be gone.

Children’s Book Explains Why Mom Deploys
WASHINGTON
Army News Service
A new children’s book, written by a former Soldier and single mother, helps to explain why mom deployed and how to cope with the emotions associated with her departure.

“My Mommy Wears Combat Boots,” written by Sgt. 1st Class Sharon G. McBride, is geared to young children and toddlers to help explain why mom had to leave and how to manage feelings of anger, sadness and loneliness.

McBride was motivated to write the book just before her second deployment after her daughter was born. She scoured the internet and book stores looking for a children’s book that would help explain the situation, she said, but could find none that seemed appropriate.

“What was available was geared toward daddies,” McBride said, “And I thought that would confuse her more.”

At a loss, McBride decided to write her own book. The original copy was written on the computer and illustrated by hand-drawn sketches, and then bound at the neighborhood Kinkos, she said.
The book helped to explain to McBride’s daughter, Lyssa, why she had to deploy.

“Kids are egocentric,” McBride said, “They don’t understand duty and honor, they only want mom or dad back.”

The main character of the book, a young girl bear-cub, has to deal with her mother going on deployment. The cub experiences many emotions: anger, frustration, sadness, loneliness, and even guilt.
“My Mommy Wears Combat Boots” explains that those emotions are normal, and it is OK to feel them, McBride said. The book presents ways of dealing with those emotions with the help of a care-giver-in this case, Grandma. In the book, McBride illustrates that proper forms of emotional expression, such as running outside or screaming into your pillow, are acceptable, but hitting grandma or shouting at the family pet is not.
Published Feb. 28, 2008, the book is based on McBride’s experiences with her daughter during deployment. The first time she deployed, McBride left without explaining to her daughter why she was going; she said that was her main mistake.

“I should have talked to her like a little adult,” McBride said.
