Obama thinks the term "bully pulpit" actually means "pulpit bully"

"As Chairwoman of the SAVE NY Task Force, the Assemblywoman traveled
throughout New York state to meet with various constituencies to
develop and improve ways to protect New York’s women and children from
domestic abuse and sexual violence. The task force played an integral
role in raising awareness of these issues. A number of its proposals,
including civil confinement of sex offenders and stiffer penalties
under Megan’s Law, were adopted as legislation."

So now we know why Jim doesn't like Assemblywoman Scozzafava.

If she'd just siphoned off tax-payers money to fatten Haliburton and
the oil companies, like certain members of the previous admistration,
Jim wouldn't find her in the least objectionable. but she's guilty of
violating the sanctity of the home and letting big government get
between a man and his family - democratic scumbaggery at its worst.

Expect the same for some blue dogs if they vote for ObamaCare. They will
be assured if they get sacked in 2010 there will be a job for them in the
O-Mob. Your tax dollars at work....

"Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming and
the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes energy. And
few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr. Gore and are as
well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it
comes."

So? Who wouldn't invest in things that they advocate?

I believe that my topic is useful and I would like to share my
thoughts.
THANK YOU.


WHO IS MUHAMMAD?

Muhammad was born in Makkah in the year 570, at a time when
Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father
died before his birth, and his mother shortly afterwards, he was
raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew
up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity and
was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The
historians describe him as calm and contemplative. Muhammad was of a
deeply religious nature, and had long detested the decadence of his
society. It became his habit to contemplate from time to time in the
Cave of Hira near the summit of Jaba al-Nur, the ‘Mountain of Light’
near Makkah.

HOW DID HE BECOME A PROPHET AND A MESSENGER OF GOD?

At the age of 40, while engaged in a meditative retreat,
Muhammad,peace be upon him, received his first revelation from God
through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation, which continued for 23
years, is known as the Quran. As soon as he began to recite the words
he heard from Gabriel, and to preach the truth which God had revealed
to him, he and his small group of followers suffered bitter
persecution which grew so fierce that in the year 622 God gave them
the command to emigrate. This event, the Hijra, ‘migration’, in which
they left Makkah for the city of Madinah some 260 miles to the north,
marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar.

After several years, the Prophet and his followers were able to return
to Makkah, where they forgave their enemies and established Islam
definitively. Before the Prophet died at the age of 63, the greater
part of Arabia was Muslim, and within a century of his death Islam had
spread to Spain in the West and as far East as China.

Nuh-huh! The burden of proof is on the accuser, therefore it's your
responibility to prove that a crime was committed.

What was thefted? Gore's been promoting a "green economy" for some time,
out loud. It hasn't been a secret. And he put his own money where his
mouth is.

> Can you say, "corruption", boys and girls?

"It was a wise bet for Gore and Co. Last week, the Dept. of Energy said
that $560 million of the $3.4 billion in smart grid grants it had
approved would go to utilities which have partnered with Silver Spring,
setting the company up for a major jackpot in coming years."

I guess you're saying the Dept. of Energy is corrupt.

Because US politics has direct effects on both the Netherlands - where
I live - and Australia - where I am a citizen.

Fidel could tell you a better way to organise you public health system
- Cuba scores about as well as the US on statistical indicators for
quality of health care, while spending a lot less money on health care
that does the US.

Since you presumably are a member of fortunate majority in the US who
gets health care as good as the French or the Germans (albeit at
nearly twice the price) you may well find this to be a comical idea.
47 million uninsured Americans are less amused.

That would be Bush and Cheney. But Jim never seems to have noticed
that they were crooked.

And thus an enthusiast for Bill Clinton, who delivered both, and

Actually, as one who believes in talking out of his ass.

Nope. Uninsured.

You presumed that an aching want/need would
justify moral weakness and defy mathematic logic.

There is an aspect of selling socialism that
seems very much like a con game.

Did you know that the crest/seal for

BS > Actually, as one who believes in talking out of his ass.

So tell us about your Australian Politics.
How's that immigration reform thing going there?
Did you see the Movie Rabbit Proof Fence?
How are you treating the Abo people now?
Any PROBLEMS there in Australia?

Where do YOUR PERSONAL POLITICAL
views fall on the spectrum of political
views in Australia lately?

You were anxious to get out and go
to Belgium, weren't you?

Why not Venezuela or Cuba?

Do the people in Belgium like having a foreign
national poke his big nose into THEIR politics?

You could have tried lecturing them!
That always goes well in Cuba and Venezuela! (LOL)

How did that go for you in Australia?

Did your own Australia call you a NUT
and ask you to take a giant walkabout?

You probably hate patriotic Australians, too, don't you?

I've got bad news for you though.
Our US kook left has blown it so bad that even
the mainstream left can't stand them anymore!

The raging kook left here is making itself look like you.

The idealism of the kook left has choked
on the reality of it's own self serving corruption.

The US flu shot debacle speaks VOLUMES
for government health care! LOL

First there was a lot of embarassing outcry
against vaccination FORCED by government.
A bunch of DOCTORS refused to vaccinate
their own kids, and medical personnel had
to be THREATENED into vaccination.
Then it turns out there is no way for the vaccine
SUPPLY to be here in time anyway!

The idea of the state as our PARENT has
fallen flat on it's face.

Pointing at politicians your ilk want to villify
and calling them crooks might work better
if there weren't so many crooks and idiots
in BOTH major parties here.

The phrase "constitutional conservative" has
become more popular recently.

Mr. Gore's accused the oil companies of being vile and corrupt for
doing the same thing; that's the hypocracy. Except it actually wasn't
the same--they were investing their own hard-earned in their own
businesses.

Mr. Gore, by contrast, didn't make anything, didn't produce any break-
through idea or product. He used his political powers while in office
to create the policies from which he benefited. And no, t'wasn't with
his own money. He's not that clever. He got big chunks of Google and
Apple(?) just for being Al, for starters.

Big Al gave us ethanol, and ethanol subsidies. Very destructive, of
wealth and environment. Wonder how much he made off that?

So no, we don't begrudge him his diamond footprints, but spare us the
sermons, eh?

I spent yesterday on Capitol Hill, twisting a blue dog's tail. Very
decent guy, just mistaken on a particular point of fact. Which I
corrected.

It turns out that they're literally Representatives, that they
represent (advocate) positions, but have to rely on others' opinions
as to the facts. Which, if you think about it, they couldn't possibly
know everything about all they stuff they're covering. You know, like
running car companies.

And the guys who write the laws? None looked old enough to shave--22,
24. A few looked like high schoolers. Maybe those were interns

No, it actually wasn't the same. Big Oil were furiously sucking the

Gore hasn't been in office for a looong time, you goof. The "world's
first carbon billionaire" article you cited is dated Nov 3rd 2009. What
happened during the 8-year-long Bush ordeal?

Far from it. Most Australians who get a Ph.D. spend a few years
overseas as a post-doc. I stayed in England a little longer than I
expected - 21 years rather than two - and ended up moving to the
Netherlands when my wife was offered an interesting (and very well
paid)job there. We've been spending three months of the year in
Australia for the past few years, and in a couple of years we will
settle down in Sydney.

I wouldn't know about Belgium. since their politics have minimal
effect on the Netherlands or Australia, I'm not all that interested -
though Filip de Winter is a nasty piece of work, with at least one
Dutch imitator - Geert Wilders, who is yet doing as much damage.

No. My family and friends have similar political views.

No. One of my great-uncles (my mother's father's brother) fought at
Gallipoli, was wounded and died on Lemnos

http://www.awm.gov.au/research/people/roll_of_honour/person.asp?p=513111

Nobody in the family has since been dumb enough to get themselves
shot, but my mother's brother served outside Australi as a medical
doctor in WW2 and ended up with the rank of Major. We're patriotic
enough.

I think you are projecting here. The previous Repulbican
administration did set a new low in self-serving corruption, and the
current Democratic administration really doesn't seem likely to be
able to emulate them. Obama's trick of getting most of his election
funding from small contributors means that bribing his supporters
involves giving them comprehensive and affordable health care, which
is the very opposite of corruption.

How?

The usual right-wing enthusiasm for promoting the advantege of the
individual - who doesn't want to run the samll risk of a negative side-
effect of vaccination - over the advantage of society, which needs a
substantial majority vaccinated to prevent an epidemic running away.

No enough to prevent an epidmeic, but enough to protect the more

Then you really should be rooting for Obama and his medical reforms.

> justify moral weakness and defy mathematic logic.

The moral weakness that lets the US deny medical care to people who
aren't rich enough to be insured requires some justification. There no
mathematical logic that would let you campaign for a less-than-
comprehensive system that costs half again more than comprehensive
systems in the French and German style which offer equally good care.

> There is an aspect of selling socialism that
> seems very much like a con game.

The German medical system was invented by Bismark to undercut his
socialist political opponents. Describing it as "socialist" - by which
you mean "communist", having been misled by a century of right-wing
political propaganda - betrys just how little you know about the
subject, and how thoroughly you have been suckered by the US medical
insurance industry which sells a grossly over-priced product and wants
to hang onto its rapacious profit margins.

> Did you know that the crest/seal for
> the Fabian Society (Gradual Socialists)
> is the wolf in sheeps clothing?

It isn't, and the whole idea that "socialism" is a bad thing is a
fable propagated by rich capitalists who are too stupid to realise
that investing a little more of their profits in the health and
education of their workers would pay off handsomely in higher worker
productivity and bigger sales to more prosperous consumers.

Russian communism was never socialism. Western European socialism
works a lot better than communism ever did, and seems to be doing
pretty well in comparison with US capitalism, which has been running a
huge balance of payments deficit for decades now.

> You thought none of the potential beneficiaries
> would be smart enough to realize it's a wolf?

You have been suckered for years by the wolves who rip you off with
over-priced and less than comprehensive medical care, and now you want
to try and tell us that your potential rescuers are actually the
wolves in sheep's clothing.

This is post-graduate gullibility.

He's a 'D' student who moralizes about conservation while using 18-odd
megawatt-hours of electricity a month at just one of his several
houses. I use 0.9% of that.

By his own standards he's a carbon criminal, a Pol Pot of
carbonation. And that's just his personal excess, not counting the
devastating effects of the policies he's cursed the planet with, and
profited from.

Have you read his books? He's dim.

But I am glad he invented Velcro, hammers, running water, and
perpetual energy. Where would we be without those?

You didn't answer about why you didn't move
to Cuba or Venezuela to give them your
special brand of ""education"".

You seem very interested in giving
opinions to other people, even people
in OTHER COUNTRIES about how
they should run their affairs.

... and an unbiased review

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/gorehome.asp

The Tennessean also noted that the Gores had been paying a $432 per
month premium on their monthly electricity bills in order to obtain some
of their electricity from "green" sources (i.e., solar or other
renewable energy sources).

Al Gore, who was criticized for high electric bills at his Tennessee
mansion, has completed a host of improvements to make the home more
energy efficient, and a building-industry group has praised the house as
one of the nation's most environmentally friendly.

"Short of tearing it down and staring anew, I don't know how it could
have been rated any higher," said Kim Shinn of the U.S. Green Building
Council, which gave the house its second-highest rating for sustainable
design.

Apparently it's long abandoned.

And the key word must be /relic/

The group... was named... in honour of the Roman general Quintus Fabius
Maximus (nicknamed "Cunctator", meaning "the Delayer"). His Fabian
strategy advocated tactics of harassment and attrition rather than
head-on battles against the Carthaginian army under the renowned general
Hannibal Barca.

Yeah, yeah. I just thought the artwork might be kind of cool, a keeper.
Not quite.

Gradual Socialism. Ring any bells lately?

You're substituting others' opinions for your own thinking.

I don't need a journalist's analysis to rationalize to me that Mr.
Gore absolutely requires 100x more electricity than I, for just one of
his several houses. Even after his "upgrades", he's still using 80x
more.

The problem is not his house (though it is a beast), it's how he uses
it.

He leaves all the lights on, the air conditioning up, heats a pool in
the winter (with gas, which doesn't even show on his electrical bill),
and even had a gaslamp in his front yard (horridly inefficient; a
single gaslamp uses nearly as much as my entire consumption).

He's a complete, utter slob. And he doesn't want to inconvenience
himself with conservation; he wants us to do that, while he continues
to preach it, yet live the way he lives: wastefully.

The article notes that he, the green maven, contrite after being
criticized (or, should we say "caught?), switched to compact
fluorescent lights. Why wasn't Mr. Cutting-Edge Book-Writing
Concerned-for-the-Environment Expert using them in the first place?

Surely he knew better. Is he an idiot, or a phony? I've been using
CFLs for 15 years and I'm not a profiteer of doom, warning everyone
about carbon. More importantly, I don't use them very much, saving
even more.

The only thing "green" about Gore's lifestyle is where he recycles
Bastiat's broken window fallacy in the form of carbon credits, selling
the idea that he can make up for living wastefully by paying someone
else to live sensibly, and that the result somehow reduces total
carbon use. It doesn't, it increases carbon emissions. But Gore's
made a bundle selling it.

The only carbon saved is the carbon he would've needed to invent a new
fallacy of his own. Which, admittedly, being manure-powered, might've
been considerable.

A middle of the road Europena socialist - I voted for the Labour Party
in the UK and - when I get the chance - I vote for de Partei van de
Arbeit in the Netherlands, which is pretty much teh same thing. I
don't vote for the Dutch Socialist Partei, which is apreciably furhter
to the left.

Family circumstances would make it impractical, and they don't seem to
need my help to understand what socialism is about.

I send up irrational nonsense when it comes up on this user group,
which happens to be international. If you post to an international
group, you do tend to encounter people from other countries.

Since the US has a considerable influence on the way things are done
in the Netheralnds and Australia, I'm interested in in the opinions
inside the US that inform and direct their foreign policy.

Your self-portrait? If you are employed, it doesn't seem to be in
