Don't Be Deceived

Bill O'Reilly
Saturday, June 27, 2009

It seems every day there is another example of media deception in America. With the Fourth of July approaching, it is well worth remembering why the Founding Fathers gave the press special privileges. They wanted journalists to report honestly, to give the folks accurate, unbiased information so they could make informed decisions about who should hold power. Many of the Founders, like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, didn't much like the press, but they understood that, for a democratic Republic to work, voters need honest information.

Unfortunately, the vision of a free and honest press is fast disappearing in America. Let me give you yet another vivid example. This week a poll by The New York Times asked: "Would you be willing to pay higher taxes so that all Americans have health insurance?"

Fifty-seven percent said they were willing, 37 percent were not willing, and 6 percent had no opinion.

So, according to the Times, Americans overwhelmingly want government financed health care. That's what the poll says, right?

But if you read all the way down to the bottom of the poll, you see another question. "Who did you vote for (in the presidential election)?"

Forty-eight percent said Barack Obama, and just 25 percent answered John McCain. The rest, 19 percent, did not vote. Wow, that's almost two to one for Obama.

But the popular vote tally in the election last November was 53 percent for Obama and 46 percent for McCain. Wait a minute. That's a lot closer than two to one. Apparently The New York Times skewed the polling by offering the questions to mostly Obama voters. I'm shocked they supported higher taxes for federal health care, aren't you?

This kind of dishonesty is not uncommon in the media. The Times says its poll is "scientific." Sure it is. Scientifically stacking the deck.

I believe very few people read the entire poll before digesting the health care headline. The result is a flawed perception of what the American public really wants. The folks may indeed support Uncle Sam paying some heavy medical bills, but this poll is not a reflection of anything other than a New York Times deception.

By the way, CBS News also had its name on that poll.

As a media guy who wants accurate information, that kind of stuff tees me off. As soon as the pollsters learned that most of the respondents were Obama people, they should have thrown the results out. But the Times ardently favors national health care and a huge federal government. So the con played out.

The most frustrating part about this is that nothing can be done. The Times has an ombudsman, but he's a joke, and no outside agency has any power over the paper. It can pretty much do what it wants, and does.

It is true that the Times and some other media outlets, most committed left, are on the brink of bankruptcy. The liberal papers say the Internet is to blame, and that's partly true.

But the folks are beginning to understand that the informational fix is in. What good is "all the news that's fit to print" if the news is bogus?

The Times might want to poll that question.

ACORN International

Job Losses Mount

New jobless claims jump unexpectedly to 627,000; continuing claims rise to 6.74 million.

Weekly new jobless claims jumped to 627,000 for the week, stubbornly remaining above 600,00, while total benefit rolls climbed to 6.7 million. The numbers weren't way out of line with what was expected, but we're kind of at that point, with unemployment, where everyone is secretly hoping that it's not that bad.

Thing is, it is that bad. There are no gren shoots on that front yet. Nobody is hiring or creating new jobs, meaning all kidns of repurcussions from taxes, to the housing market to credit cards.

Hey, I have an idea, lets add a massive energy tax, the people will hardly notice.

Microsoft Prices Windows 7

Microsoft has just released pricing for Windows 7, due to ship on October 22.

Estimated retail prices for packaged retail versions of Windows 7 in the US are as follows:

Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99
Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99

Most of these prices are identical to current Vista ERPs, but the Windows 7 Home Premium full retail product is $40.00 less and the upgrade $10 less than Windows Vista Home Premium today.

Those Hard Working Stimulus Dollars

The village of Takotna is getting a new $21 million airport, which translates to almost $500,000 per person in the small Bush village about 300 miles west of Fairbanks.

The state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities received a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to build the airport.

State officials aren’t thrilled about having to spend $21 million on an airport for a village of 46 people, but it’s not really an option, said Roger Maggard, DOT’s airport development manager.

How cool is that? The whole town is likely to not make $21 million in it's entire existence, but needs this airport -- Why exactly does atown of 46 people need a $21 million dollar airport again?

Giant Kangaroos Were Consumed

Not killed off by the global warming hoax as originally thought.

The extinct 'Procoptodon goliah' which roamed around Australia 45,000 years ago, stood tall at 6’5, weighed over 500lbs, had the face of a koala and the body of a sturdy kangaroo. And apparently it was delicious.

Scientists think they have discovered the reason behind the demise of the
prehistoric Australian marsupial Procoptodon goliah – better known as the giant,
short-snouted kangaroo. They say it was not climate change, as has always been
assumed, but hungry Ice Age hunters.

The animal – about three times bigger than a modern-day kangaroo and
with slightly different features - was one of many Ice-Age megafauna whose
demise has long been debated among experts, but usually put down to the changing
environment.

See, everything isn't caused by the AGW hoax, some things just got eaten.

So What Would You Call This, Obama ?

Most people, especially Americans, recognize this for what it is, enslavement of women. And where is the NOW gang? Fortunately the world has the French President Sarkozy who understands the issue perfectly. And why would we Americans sanction any form of head scarfs or burqas in the USA? There is no mention of either in the Koran, it is a made up alleged custom of recent religious Muslim thing, pushed by the theocrats and dictators that enslave the Muslim world.

President Nicolas Sarkozy addressed a restive Parliament on Monday, laying out a vision of France that included a withering critique of burqas as an unacceptable symbol of “enslavement.”

Speaking at the Palace of Versailles, Mr. Sarkozy directly confronted one of the most hotly debated social issues in France, saying there was no room in the republic for the burqas, full-body garments that envelop women and mask their faces.

“The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue; it is a question of freedom and of women’s dignity,” Mr. Sarkozy said. “The burqa is not a religious sign; it is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission of women.”

“I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory,” he said to enthusiastic applause.

His speech, a sober, wide-ranging address during which he frequently looked at his notes, marked the first presidential appearance before Parliament since Charles Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte in the 19th century.

So how about you Obama, want to tell the king? Bow first, just to be sure.

Yes, you read this right, the French President has taken up the cause of freedom, while the American President tries his hand at debt slavery.

Florida Unemployment Jumps To 10.2% for May 2009.

The Labor Department reported Friday that 48 states and the District of Columbia saw employment conditions deteriorate last month. Florida’s unemployment rate rose again in May.

The seasonally adjusted rate for May is 10.2 percent. That translates to 943,000 unemployed out of a labor force of 9.2 million, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.

Nationwide, the unemployment rate is 9.4 percent.

The state’s unemployment rate is up 4.4 percentage points from the same period a year ago. The last time the rate was higher was October 1975, when it was 11 percent.

State by State May 2009 top unemployment:
  • Michigan -- 14.1%
  • Oregon -- 12.4%
  • Rhode Island -- 12.1&
  • South Carolina -- 12.1%
  • California -- 11.5%
  • Nevada -- 11.3%
Nationwide May unemployment by the new accounting way was 9.4%. By the old accounting way, 15.8%. The old way is counting all people unemployed, what is old about that? Nothing, the new way just lowers the numbers for the sheep.

Flow of Funds

Federal Reserve's flow of funds report

definition:
Shorthand for the Flow of Funds Accounts of the United States, a quarterly survey published by the Federal Reserve that shows the movement of funds between households, businesses, the government, and financial institutions. It also shows whether debt levels increased or decreased and what the savings rate is. The report is released during the second week of March, June, September, and December.

Report here:

The U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest Flow of Funds report demonstrated another dismal deterioration for household balance sheets in the first quarter. The ratio of net worth to disposable income fell to its lowest level in 16 years.

“This massive wealth destruction should not come as a surprise given the performance of financial markets in recent quarters: people tend to forget that financial assets account for more than three-quarters of households’ net-worth,” National Bank Financial chief economist Stéfane Marion said in a note.

The hit to households’ balance sheet explains why the savings rate has surged from 0% to close to 6%, he noted, adding that the worst appears to be over.

Given the performance of financial markets so far in the second quarter, National Bank estimates that net worth improved markedly this quarter as all of the losses of the previous six months were recouped.

The historical relationship between net worth and savings suggests the need for an additional increase in the savings rate.

John Ziegler of howobamagotelected.com fires back at Contessa Brewer who is obviously defending Letterman. She got pwned. Next time bring brains.

Imagine if it was Michelle Obama Letterman was talking about, and he took a shot at Obama's daughters. Maybe talking about something this stupid -- which daughter made this abortion:



That's quite the Kenyan fashion statement, no ...

George Will: The Green Bubble Has Burst

George Will wrote this editorial today:

WASHINGTON – There once was an Indianapolis concert featuring 50 pianos. Splendid instruments, pianos. Still, 50 might have been excessive.

As is today’s chorus summoning us to save the planet.

In the history of developed democracies with literate publics served by mass media, there is no precedent for today’s media enlistment in the crusade to promote global warming “awareness.” Concerning this, journalism, which fancies itself skeptical and nonconforming, is neither.

The incessant hectoring by the media-political complex’s “consciousness-raising” campaign has provoked a comic riposte in the form of “The Goode Family,” an animated ABC entertainment program on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Cartoons seem, alas, to be the most effective means of seizing a mass audience’s attention. Still, the program is welcome evidence of the bursting of what has been called “the green bubble.”

Gerald and Helen Goode, their children and dog Che (when supervised, he is a vegan; when unsupervised, squirrels disappear) live in a college town, where T-shirts and other media instruct (”Meat is murder”), admonish (”Don’t kill wood”) and exhort (”Support our troops … and their opponents”). The college, where Gerald works, gives students tenure. And when Gerald says his department needs money to raise the percentage of minority employees, his boss cheerily replies, “Or we could just fire three white guys. Everybody wins!” Helen shops at the One Earth store, where community shaming enforces social responsibility: “Attention One Earth shoppers, the driver of the SUV is in aisle four. He’s wearing the baseball cap.”

The New York Times television critic disapproves. The show “feels aggressively off-kilter with the current mood, as if it had been incubated in the early to mid-’90s, when it was possible to find global-warming skeptics among even the reasonable and informed.”

That is a perfect (because completely complacent) sample of the grating smugness of the planet-savers, delivered by an entertainment writer: Reasonable dissent is impossible. Cue the pianos.

“The Goode Family” does not threaten Jonathan Swift’s standing as the premier English-language satirist. But when a Goode child apologizes to his parent for driving too much, and the parent responds, “It’s OK … what’s important is that you feel guilty about it,” the program touches upon an important phenomenon: ecology as psychology.

In “The Green Bubble: Why Environmentalism Keeps Imploding” (The New Republic, May 20), Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger, authors of “Break Through: Why We Can’t Leave Saving the Planet to Environmentalists,” say that a few years ago, being green “moved beyond politics.”

Gestures – bringing reusable grocery bags to the store, purchasing a $4 heirloom tomato, inflating tires, weatherizing windows — “gained fresh urgency” and “were suddenly infused with grand significance.”

Green consumption became “positional consumption” that identified the consumer as a member of a moral and intellectual elite. A 2007 survey found that 57 percent of Prius purchasers said they bought their car because “it makes a statement about me.”

Honda, alert to the bull market in status effects, reshaped its 2009 Insight hybrid to look like a Prius. Nordhaus and Shellenberger note the telling “insignificance,” as environmental measures, of planting gardens or using fluorescent bulbs.

Their significance is therapeutic, but not for the planet. They make people feel better: “After all, we can’t escape the fact that we depend on an infrastructure – roads, buildings, sewage systems, power plants, electrical grids, etc. – that requires huge quantities of fossil fuels.

But the ecological irrelevance of these practices was beside the point.”

The point of “utopian environmentalism” was to reduce guilt. During the green bubble, many Americans became “captivated by the twin thoughts that human civilization could soon come crashing down – and that we are on the cusp of a sudden leap forward in consciousness, one that will allow us to heal ourselves, our society, and our planet. Apocalyptic fears meld seamlessly into utopian hopes.”

Suddenly, commonplace acts – e.g., buying light bulbs – infused pedestrian lives with cosmic importance. But: “Greens often note that the changing global climate will have the greatest impact on the world’s poor; they neglect to mention that the poor also have the most to gain from development fueled by cheap fossil fuels like coal. For the poor, the climate is already dangerous.”

Now, say Nordhaus and Shellenberger, “the green bubble” has burst, pricked by Americans’ intensified reluctance to pursue greenness at a cost to economic growth. The dark side of utopianism is “escapism and a disengagement from reality that marks all bubbles, green or financial.”

Re-engagement with reality is among the recession’s benefits.

Long Standing Hate -- It Never Goes Away

First the punch line:
All this should disturb Democrats because it fuels a general and growing perception (cf. Sotomayor's white-male references, Eric Holder's "cowards" remark, the serial Obama apologies abroad, the confusion about America being an important Muslim nation, etc.) among the public that something very strange is going on — a sort of generic anger being expressed at the highest levels of government that seems fueled by long past resentments against a perceived establishment that at times apparently is to roughly characterized as white, or white male, or rich, or Christian, or something other than poor, of color, or of female?
Most people, whatever their race, are not rascists, are not bigots, and don't walk around daily looking for race issues. Honesty is not racism, or bigotry.

Isn't it odd that this is how you hear Michelle Obama and everytime she speaks? Like there is something wrong with her world view, something about her pampered life that remains unfufilled? And isn't this the same as you read Sotomayor and her bigotted white guy comments.

Does the same hatefilled anger infect both the same, yes I assume so. And Obama as well. Rev Wright did his job, blame whitey for everything.

Obama In Egypt

Egypt is a totalitarian state, just to get that out up front. Here is what they are displaying in Egypt:



Look familiar? No? Type in the word on the symbol "TUTANKHAMON" and google. There are different spellings, this one is an older version, the current spelling is "Tutankhamun" -- King Tut for short. Tutankhamun means "Living Image of Amun". A diety who champions the poor and central to personal piety. The image at the top of the symbol you are probably familiar with, it's used in a lot of movies.

And you thought you had elected an American who would be president for four years. Little did you know ...

Great American Brand Name Lives On

General Motors Corp. said Tuesday that it has signed a deal to sell its Hummer truck unit, just one day after filing for bankruptcy.

But GM would not identify the buyer nor name a price, saying only that the deal would close by the end of September.

"I'm confident that Hummer will thrive globally under its new ownership," said Troy Clarke, president of GM North America, in a press release. "And for GM, this sale continues to accelerate the reinvention of GM into a leaner, more focused, and more cost-competitive automaker."

As part of the deal, some GM plants will continue to build the Hummer brand for the new owner, at least for a while. The company said its Shreveport, La. plant will keep building Hummers for the new owner until at least 2010.

Obama's Foreign Policy



Shudder, I doubt he even got a shudder. Today North Korea moved another ICBM, one that could hiy Alaska, to a new western Dongchang-ri Missile Launch Site. We've known of the site's construction for sometime, but this is the first time it appears to be readying for launch.
