Cap and trade next, but first we need to defeat obamacare aka the KILL BILL!

Sample letter for ref.:-

Congressmen,
In a media conference call sponsored by Campaign for America’s Future, Congressman Stark called Blue Dogs “brain dead,” and went on to say:
“They’re just looking to raise money from insurance companies and promote a right-wing agenda that is not really very useful in this whole process.”

Are you going to take such nonsensical, ill-willed attacks from them?

Please stay strong, stand up tall! NO ONE can make you compromise on your principles. NO ONE can arm-wrestle you to go against the wishes of your constitutents! NOT Obama, NOT your fellow Democrats, NOT the illogical blind-supporters of obamacare which is simply government takeover of healthcare!

NO PUBLIC OPTION! NO COMPROMISE!

Thank you.

is nice and makes an excellent point, but what is really needed is double-blind research, where the people doing the study don’t know who is paying for the study, and vice-versa.

Government research doesn’t count, either. Researchers know that, without the prediction of climate change, they won’t get climate change funding. They have a vested financial interest in predicting warming.

Global Warming is real.
The temperatures now in the Northeast are 50 degrees F higher than this past February.

At this rate, temperatures will be 1,000 F higher in just 10 years.

We MUST stop and Trade Caps immediately.
Anyone want a NY Mets Cap ??

U.S. Postal rates 1885-2009 0.85

This clear correlation requires us to take immediate action to slash postal rates to prevent future warming.

smart ones and we are so dumb. But let’s analyze the things they believe. They believe that a tiny increase in a gas that makes up a tiny bit of our atmosphere, and has a weak greenhouse effect is going to kill us all in ten years.

They believe that you can, indeed spend your way to prosperity.

They believe that when the government takes over something they will run it more efficiently and politics will not play a role in decisions. They actually believe that!

They believe that socialism is better for the majority of people despite the recent history of dozens of nations trying to crawl away form socialism and introduce market reforms as quickly as they can.

They believe that talking nice nice to madmen, thugs and dictators will keep us safe.

No, they are not smarter than conservatives, they are quite stupid.

To find some argument other than cum hoc ergo propter hoc, we have to dig a little deeper.

The number of communications satellites has, um, skyrocketed in the last 50 years, leading many to deduce that the heat from rocket blasts has warmed the atmosphere.

A look at the number of descendants of George Foreman. In fact, George is probably to blame for the whole mess, since his boxing career and infomercials drove the growth in satellite television viewing, first to get the pay-per-view boxing matches, and then to find something other than a commercial to watch.

If there is going to be “climate change” it’ll probably be colder, just because these guys – Malthus, Paul Ehrlich, Rachael Carson, Al Gore, etc have always been wrong.

I remember being really concerned in the early 1970′s when the “Environmental” movement began to seep into the culture. There were articles about it in such reputable publications as Time and Newsweek (yech). So I figured, it MUST be true. And then, guess what, er.. we meant Global WARMING. Which, is now Climate Change – so they’ll be right whichever happens.

So I guess I’ll bet on: it’ll probably be just like it is today. Then they’ll be wrong again. And we will only have wasted us a few TRILLION dollars.

Let’s try for some perspective, time-wise.

For those comfortable with the metric (S.I.) system, imagine a line about 4.6 kilometers long (a bit under 3 miles). That would represent the 4.6 billion year age of the Earth at 1,000,000 years/meter; 1 mm (about the thickness of a paper clip) would represent a THOUSAND years.

That line would span the downtown area of quite a few large cities, with some to spare. Here in Houston, the downtown streets are 16 to the mile, making their spacing about 100 meters. Thus, that line would be about 46 blocks.

The reign of the dinosaurs ended around 65 million years ago (65 meters, about 2/3 of a city block down that line from today).

The first of our ancestors verging on intelligence may have emerged from 2 to 4 million years ago (2 to 4 meters, say 6.5 to 13 feet; your living room could be around 4 meters in one of its’ dimensions).

What we call “modern” man may go back 40,000 years or so (40 mm, TWO FINGER-WIDTHS on that line).

Written history goes back 6000 years (six millimeters, 1/4 inch on that line).

Fahrenheit’s thermometer is around 300 years old ( 0.3 mm, you’re approaching the thickness of a business card now, or the diameter of a grain of salt).

The portion of that time-line during which precise temperature measurements were recorded would be literally microscopic.

And from that portion, we dare to make really long range climate predictions, and mandate actions based on them? And decide to totally destroy our economy because of them?

I live about three miles west of some of Houston’s major downtown buildings, so it’s easy for me to visualize that line.

Looking at that time-line of Earth’s history (the universe’s may be four times that), and the flyspeck of our own existence upon it, the notion of asserting that ANY science has been “settled” strikes me as arrogance beyond comprehension (as in “only a politician could possibly believe that”).

Between 829 and 836, Einhart, a man of noble birth who served for decades as a counsellor to Charlemagne wrote an account of the great rulers’ death as part of his “Vita Caroli”. “Many portents marked the approach of Charlemagne’s death” reports Einhard, citing events within a few years of the death of Charlemagne including eclipses of the sun and moon. Einhard was generous in his estimations of the timing of the events he talks of as “portents” but he could scarcely have been the only one of even the best educated men of the time to believe that in a time of great loss, the death of a great man, a great Christian leader, that signs and portents would occur. It is worth remembering that while Charlemagne himself was illiterate and remained so while he subdued the Saxons and came to control a country that included the whole of modern day Belgium and Switzerland, almost the whole of modern France and much of Germany he was a great admirer of learning and did much to promote literacy and learning during his life and long reign. Charlemagne, I would like to believe, would be fascinated to know that it is possible to not only predict eclipses of the sun and moon in the future with certainty but also to establish duration, path of totality and all the other parameters of an eclipse for dates going far back into history. Moreover, he would be astonished to learn that an average citizen with this marvellous tool of communication called the internet can go online and research historical eclipses of the sun and moon. There is some math involved in the calculations of these events obviously, but more than that it necessary to understand and accept as true the observations and models of our solar system which give rise to the math. We may still believe that coincident events are coincident for a purpose. As I said at the outset, any individual in the midst of a significant event may be forgiven the connection between what personally touches us and what may occur coincidentally. Some people have greater significance than others and many, many people may wish to believe that events in close conjunction with events involving great people are connected. And maybe they even are connected but the point is that by adopting certain habits of observation, by sticking rigourously to certain methods of analysis it is possible to take a still wondrous and dare I say, portentous, event and render it predictable and therefore clearly not sent to influence battles or mark the passing of great men. I do not think it ungodly to bring some wit to bear and to introduce a tad more rigour to our discussion of matters of great importance.
