Wow!  Who would have ever imagined that a left-wing, anti-capitalist group like the Sierra Club would endorse a Democrat like Barack Obama?

Yes, the Sierra Club did endorse Obama.  The liberal group’s executive director Carl Pope was quoted as saying:

At the end of the day, John McCain just signed up with the Bush policy of giving the oil industry what it wants.

Isn’t that just illustrative of the faulty logic of the liberal mind?  Drilling for oil is not about giving the oil companies what they want, it is about giving the American economy what it needs.

According to the federal government, there are about 250,000,000 registered passenger vehicles in the United States.  What fuels those vehicles?  Gasoline derived from petroleum.  What fuels construction machinery and trucks that haul freight across the nation?  Diesel, also derived from petroleum.

These liberal dimwits act as if alternative energy and hydrogen or electric cars are just around the corner.  It’s a no-brainer that alternative energy is the future, but it will be many years before 250 million vehicles in the United States are replaced with vehicles that use alternative energy.  And what will all those currently existing vehicles run on in the meantime?  Fuels that come from oil.  That’s why we need more of it.

A liberal nut has gone to court in Minneapolis to ask that President George Bush be arrested for war crimes when he comes to Minnesota for the Republican convention later this year.

What really makes this story particularly interesting is one of the claims that the petitioner makes. The liberal, Ed Felien, makes the following claims about the President:

(President Bush) has fraudulently represented a war against Iraq as essential for our national interests when in reality the war only benefits his private interests. With his Saudi friends he has cornered the supply of oil and raised prices. And through his longtime family contacts with the CIA and the Mafia he has arranged for the transporting of heroin into Hennepin County.

You read it right. This liberal who believes that Bush lied and is guilty of war crimes believes that the President is responsible for transporting heroin into Minnesota.

What bothers me is not just the fact that this liberal is wasting court time and taxpayer money on his absurd claim of war crimes (and other offenses like the heroin thing), but that this guy is representative of the thinking of liberals everywhere. No logic, no basis in reality, but very typical of liberal thought.

Why should anyone give any credibility to what liberals say when they think like this?

Story

At a time when the United States–and all of the free world–is at war with radical Islamists, Democrat voters have decided to elect another Muslim to Congress.

Andre Carson was elected to the US House Of Representatives from his district covering the Indianapolis, Indiana, area. He’s the grandson of the late DFL Representative Julia Carson, who died in December of 2007 and whose seat he is filling.

Andre Carson converted to Islam a decade ago. As you can imagine, he is eager to pull troops out of Iraq, surrendering it to radical Islamists. Who would have ever guessed that a Muslim would want to surrender to Muslims?

No matter what the situation is, you can always count on Democrat voters to act in a self-destructive manner. Democrat allies such as union members destroy the free market and push jobs overseas with ridiculous wage and benefit demands. Unionized teachers destroy the education system and hold it hostage as a bargaining chip. Then you’ve got generation after generation of Democrat-voting welfare parasites destroying communities with crime and violence.

Now they are electing Muslims to positions of power when we are at war with radical Islamists. Pure Democrat brilliance…

Liberal Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn called for attacks on President Bush when he visits the Middle East this week.

“Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula … to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula in the beginning of January and to receive him not with flowers or clapping but with bombs and booby-trapped vehicles,” said the California born liberal terrorist in a newly released video.

Terrorists think like liberals, liberals think like terrorists. So, calling this Al Qaeda member a liberal is justified. He’s as left wing as one can get. It is amazing just how similar the views of Bin Laden and other terrorists are to those of the liberal left and most Democrat politicians.

Let’s look at some similarities between liberals and terrorists. Both liberals and terrorists:

• Have an irrational hatred of Bush for no good reason
• Want the US to surrender Iraq to Al Qaeda giving the terrorist organization millions of new conscripts
• Hate Israel
• Want to domineer their fellow man
• Target US service members for attacks: liberals attack with smear campaigns and slander, terrorists with bombs
• Call the United States an imperialist oppressor, as if giving freedom to people is oppression
• Want terrorists to be treated well by US forces while they are free to behead and bomb anyone they desire
• Make it easier for terrorists to conduct acts of terrorism by hamstringing US counter terrorism efforts
• Misrepresent the truth by claiming America is losing in Iraq

There are many more similarities between liberals and terrorists. But I don’t have all day to cover them.

Twisted left-wing minds think alike.

(ABC News Story)

Have you ever wondered why liberals sympathize with terrorists the way they do? It’s because most terrorists are liberals.

In Mexico a band of leftist terrorists bombed gas and oil pipelines today. (Story) Oil is a very important source of revenue for Mexico, still a largely impoverished nation. I’m not sure if these liberals decided to commit acts of terrorism because of their desire to steal money from others, perceived injustices which exist in their minds only, their desire to control the lives of others, or because they want to destroy all that exists for the sake of destroying it. Regardless, wherever you look around the world, those who hold the liberal mindset all behave in a similar fashion. They are nothing but low-class thugs, extortionists, thieves, liars, and destroyers.

If you look at the words of Osama Bin Laden, you will be struck by just how similar his views are to those of American liberals. It’s frightening to see how much a mass-murdering terrorist like Bin Laden has in common with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or any of the other left-wing nutjobs in this country.

Liberalism is a mental defect.

I knew it would only be a matter of time before Democrats and their left-wing communist voting base were politicizing the collapse of the Interstate 35W freeway bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN, in yet another pathetic attempt to press for tax increases.

“We need to raise taxes,” is the tired refrain from the “Bankrupt America Now” crowd. Democrats act like there is an endless supply of money ripe for the picking and taking it will not interfere with the economy one iota. That just isn’t true.

Democrats always insist that more money be spent on education, but when you tell them that districts that spend the most per student like Washington DC (about $13,348 per student in 2005) have significantly lower student test scores than much lower spending places like Utah ($5,216) or North Dakota ($7,829), they just don’t comprehend the point you are making. All they want is more tax revenue because the more money they have to spend the more power they have. That is the extent of a Democrat’s understanding.

The same applies to roads.

Everywhere you look, left-wingers are pinning the blame for this tragedy on a lack of funding for transportation. Representative Jim Oberstar (D-MN) criticized the Bush administration saying the following at a news conference the day following the collapse:

This administration failed to support robust investment in surface transportation and the funding to accompany it.

When asked if under funding by the Bush administration was responsible for the bridge collapse, Oberstar replied:

No. But the needs are immense. And if we don’t fund the program properly, then necessary bridge inspections can’t be conducted.

Another Democrat lie. The bridge was inspected in 2006, and has been inspected annually for the past several years. The 2007 inspection started, but was interrupted by construction work and was to continue later this fall.

So, under funding wasn’t responsible for the bridge collapse, the bridge was inspected regularly, yet somehow we are to believe that we need more spending and corresponding tax increases?

Democrats would be more convincing if they weren’t so easily caught in lies.

It so happens that there were serious concerns about the safety of this bridge due to cracking in the steel support structure. There was sufficient money to pay for repairs of this bridge and ensure the safety of the public. But the department of transportation decided against making the repairs, opting for closer inspections instead. Why? Who knows.

If the bridge was found to be unsafe, it should have been closed. Then nobody would have been on it and nobody would have been a victim of this tragedy. As part of the federal interstate system, it is very likely that federal funding for replacement of the bridge would have been available, at least a signifcant portion of the cost.

But it wasn’t found to be unsafe by inspectors to the extent that it was unusable. No amount of additional transportation spending or tax increases will change the fact that it was deemed safe. This, sadly, is a case of human error and not a case of insufficient transportation funding.

No matter which way the wind blows, Democrats will be pushing for tax increases. Always.

Star Tribune editorial from left-winger arguing for tax increases

Liberal environmental groups have sued Royal Dutch Shell and have succeeded in temporarily halting oil drilling in the Alaskan arctic.

Every time an oil company wants to drill for oil or some oil company or investment group wants to build a refinery, liberals file lawsuits to try and stop it.

Wonder why gas prices are so high? Liberals and their Democrat allies are to blame.

(Article)

The Democratic Party has blocked domestic oil drilling every year since 2001. As long as the dirty Democrats have enough members in Congress to block drilling for domestic oil, you can expect gas prices to continue to rise.

As with almost everything bad that happens to America, you can lay the blame at the Democrats’ feet.

Elijah Page, a convicted murder, was executed yesterday in South Dakota. He pleaded guilty in 2000 for the brutal torture and murder of an acquaintance.

Yes, we all know how most liberals are fiercely opposed to the death penalty for murderers. It’s so sad that a man who tortured and killed another human being is put to death, isn’t it?

But I’m sure liberals will drown their sorrows in abortions.

Chopping up a fetus and tossing it in the garbage is a great way for liberals to get their minds off of things that trouble them.

Most of the reviews I’ve read of this flick have been superficial to a sickening degree. The reviewers don’t examine the premises of the movie; instead, they focus solely on the production quality and emotional effect it has on them, which, most likely, taps into their pre-existing biases.

This review by Kurt Loder is different–it looks at the opposing view. According to Loder, Moore portrays socialized medicine as a panacea without ever examining the truth behind most government-run healthcare programs: long waiting lists, shortages, and sub-par care.

In typical liberal fashion, Moore omits critical facts that completely contradict his ideas, if not outright destroys them. Moore, as do most left-wingers, relies on the emotional aspect to convey his message. Liberals and Democrats have faulty logical reasoning abilities, so the only way to reach them is with emotional pleas. Moore has made many tens-of-millions of dollars doing just that.

Loder mentions in his review that Michael Moore refers to Hillary Clinton as “sexy”. Moore probably thinks a plate of doughnuts is sexy. If Moore had any credibility at all, he certainly doesn’t after saying that.

I wonder if Moore touches on the impact of obesity on healthcare costs…

If you are considering seeing Michael Moore’s “Sicko”, give this review a read before you go. Then decide if you want to make an already wealthy liberal charlatan even richer with your hard-earned money.

This story is truly unbelievable. Yet, it is not atypical of the idiocy that is liberalism.

In Massachusetts, a prisoner serving life in prison for murder has sued to force the state to pay for a sex-change operation.

According to the article, the Court has listened hundreds of hours of testimony from medical experts and other witnesses in trying to decide this case. The state Correction Department has already spent $52,000 on expert testimony.

And the case was allowed to proceed!

Following are two quotes, one from a Republican lawmaker, the other from a liberal attorney. Which one is rooted in logic and actually makes sense and which one doesn’t?

From the article:

“They are prisoners. They are there because they’ve broken the law,” said Republican state Sen. Scott Brown, who unsuccessfully introduced a bill to ban sex-change surgery for inmates. “Other folks, people who want to get these types of surgeries, they have to go through their insurance carrier or save up for it and do it independently. Yet if you are in prison, you can do it for nothing? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

But advocates say in some cases - such as that of Kosilek, who has twice attempted suicide - sex-change surgery is as much a medical necessity as treatment for diabetes or high blood pressure.

“The duty belongs to the prison to figure out how to fulfill its constitutional obligations to both provide adequate medical care and provide a fundamental security for all inmates,” said Cole Thaler, an attorney with Lambda Legal, a gay- and transgender-rights group.

The quote from the lawyer represents the third-party responsibility attitude of most liberals. Everyone else is responsible for you, except yourself. Criminals aren’t responsible for their crimes, they are the product of a bad environment. Welfare mothers aren’t responsible for supporting their children and themselves, taxpayers are. Parents aren’t responsible for educating their children, schools are. Americans aren’t responsible for providing for their own healthcare, the government is. And in this absurd case, the taxpayers of Massachusetts are responsible for paying for a sex-change operation for a sexually-deviant nutcase murderer!

Liberals really are a twisted, delusional bunch, aren’t they? I highly suspect the judge is a liberal, because any judge with a brain would have thrown this case out of Court long ago.

Common sense and logic go completely out the window when liberals are involved.

“I want to take those profits,” says Hillary Clinton (video). The profits Ms. Clinton is talking about are the profits generated by the oil companies who supply us with the energy source that forms the foundation of our very economy.

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (DFL), filled with rage because he feels that oil companies aren’t paying enough in state income taxes, proposed a 2-1/2 percent tax on oil company gross sales in the state. The Wisconsin Democrats, in their zeal to stick it to the oil companies, are also trying to forbid the companies from passing the tax along to consumers by threat of imprisonment.

Private property rights? Not under the Socialist Democrats. There are no rights other than the ones they decide we should have. If you have money, the Democrats will attempt to take it–every penny you have–and next year they’ll come back for more.

But who will ultimately pay the price?

“Big Oil” consists of a handful of large corporations, most with worldwide operations. Several “Big Oil” companies employ over 100,000 employees each. “Big Oil” companies are corporations, meaning that their stock is publicly traded. But who owns that stock? Who owns “Big Oil”?

People like you and I and tens-of-millions of other Americans collectively own “Big Oil”. Every diversified investment portfolio is going to include some holdings in oil companies. These portfolios are comprised of money invested by pension funds, 401k and other retirement plans, and individual mutual funds. Every American who has a retirement plan or pension plan is an owner of “Big Oil”.

Thus, a Democrat’s attack on “Big Oil” is an attack on just about every working American in the United States. A Democrat’s tax on oil companies is coming out of the pockets of working Americans. Too bad the Democrats and their loyal voters aren’t smart enough to realize this.

Democrat voters also probably don’t realize that Democrats have blocked every attempt to get at our own sources of oil. What do these Democrats think is going to happen? The American economy is growing, the world economy is growing, but the DFL refuses to allow drilling in American territory. Then they complain about the high price of gas! Incredibly stupid, yet so typical of Democrats.

The Democrat strategy is as follows:

1. Block all attempts to get at domestic sources of oil in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico
2. Complain about high gas prices which are a result of demand increasing faster than supply
3. Concoct conspiracy theories blaming “Big Oil” for what is actually the fault of the DFL
4. Propose new taxes on gas
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 ad infinitum

Democrats: Bad for working Americans.
