 | | | | | | | | | | Climate Change Hysteria
This week the administration flashed a shiny new object at the American people and the media: climate change! They released a doom-and-gloom report, warning that floods, wildfires and droughts are coming our way if we don't take immediate actions.The report is supposed to prepare our nation for changes such as rising sea levels, but I thought Obama's nomination to be the Democratic candidate for president meant that "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal"? So much for that, I suppose. I'd like to point out that the issue of climate change is near the bottom of concerns among the American people. Yet the administration, with help from the mainstream media, has succeeded in making us all talk about it. First they come up with these doom-and-gloom predictions, which I'm sure many Americans view skeptically. After all, it wasn't long ago when we were being warned that the ice age was coming.
Then The Absurd
Then, from the absurd we absolutely ridiculous comments from politicians like Harry Reid. Harry Reid has been a crusader again the Koch Brothers, using virtually any opportunity to demonize them and turn them into boogeymen. Reid took the climate change opportunity to do more of the same. This week Senator Reid outright blamed the Koch Brothers for being a "main cause" of global warming because of their oil business holdings. Powerline blog points out that Reid's "logic" doesn't hold if you apply it to the Democrats' top donor, Tom Steyer, who develops coal mines and coal-fired power plants abroad. If Reid wants to be upset about creating pollution, perhaps he should start with Steyer. According to an RNC memo, Steyer is essentially holding Senate Democrats hostage, threatening to spend heavily against their re-election if they vote for the Keystone Pipeline. Why is Steyer doing this? Because he's invested in oil and gas companies that would be direct competitors with the Keystone Pipeline. Clearly we know that much of this isn't really about climate change, and it's all about political posturing.

| | |   | | | Breaking the Cycle
Barack Obama has overseen the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. A new analysis by the Senate Budget Committee found that "despite adding more than 8 million people to the working-age population since 2007, total employment has declined by half a million." We aren't creating enough new jobs to keep up with population growth! Then we have another study by the Brookings Institute, which found that "the American economy is less entrepreneurial now than at any point in the last three decades." More businesses are shutting down compared to businesses being created. That's not a good thing for our economy and jobs. Conservative solutions could break the cycle, if only Democrats and big government would get out of the way.
