James Cameron compares Global Warming to WWII

The Progressive myth of Global Warming, which many real scientists and our own Snork have debunked, continues to be pushed. The latest one is that AGW is a threat as big as WW2. The Tranzi who said this was director James Cameron. On a panel that included great scientific minds like Actress Sigourney Weaver, Totalitarian Progressive Tom Friedman and Compassionate Conservative Joe Scarborough, he compares this fantasy to WW II.
Academy Award-winning Director James Cameron said that climate change is “as great as the threat” the United States faced in World War II. His comments were made during a panel discussion about environmental policy on Capitol Hill with columnist Tom Friedman of the New York Times, actress Sigourney Weaver, and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.
“I spoke to leaders today that said we can’t use the term climate change,” Cameron said on Apr. 15. “It’s death. It’ll kill the bill. It’ll be still-born, strangle it in its crib by calling it, associating it with climate change. I say, ‘We have to wake up. We have to wake up and call it what it is.’”

With the Global Warming lie exposed as a fraud, the Tranzis are getting desperate. James Cameron’s comparing it to WW II is both a ridiculous and insulting. This shows the extent the Neo-Feudal Left will go to promote this farce and scare people.
Navy SEAL not guilty of charges in Iraq

The fact that charges were even brought up is a national disgrace. However given the Obama/Holder terrorist enabler regime, I expect to see more of this in the future. In World War II after the December 16, 1944 Malmedy Massacre of American prisoners by the 1st S.S. Panzer Division “Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler” – the word was sent out that no S.S. prisoners were to be taken. Thankfully those were saner times in America and no Americans were brought to trial.

The first of three Navy SEALs accused of mishandling a suspect in the high-profile killings of contractors in Iraq was found not guilty at a court-martial Thursday.
A military jury cleared U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas of all charges, a military spokesman said.
Huertas and two other Navy SEALs — Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe and Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew McCabe — have been facing charges in connection with the assault of Iraqi detainee Ahmed Hashim Abed.
U.S. authorities accuse Abed of being the mastermind in the slayings and mutilation of four U.S. contractors in Falluja in 2004, one of the Iraq war‘s most notorious crimes against Americans.
During Huertas’ court-martial, Abed testified Wednesday that he was handcuffed, blindfolded and beaten.
Huertas and Keefe had been charged with dereliction of duty, based on the allegation that they failed to safeguard the detainee, according to the military. Huertas also was charged with impeding an investigation by attempting to influence the testimony of another sailor.
Keefe’s court-martial was supposed to have opened Monday, but it was delayed after defense attorneys were stuck in Europe because of flight delays due to ash from the Icelandic volcano. That court-martial is expected to begin Friday morning.
McCabe, who is charged with assault, will be tried May 3 in Norfolk, Virginia.
The case against the SEALs has sparked outrage that the sailors are being tried at all for handling a suspect in the contractors’ killings. A Facebook page called “Support The Navy SEALs who Captured Ahmed Hashim Abed” has almost 120,000 members.
After the contractors for the security firm Blackwater were killed with hand grenades and rifles, their bodies were set on fire and dragged through the streets. Two of them were hung from a bridge in Falluja, an image that was broadcast around the world.
A Delayed Bush Backlash

Compassionate Conservatism lead directly to Barack Hussein Obama, just like the first President Bush and his stated desire to be known as “The Education President” lead to the immature Bill Clinton. The same people (David Frum, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker) who are flapping their gums about the tea partiers, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin are the ones who have very little problem with President Obama and I suspect actually pulled the lever for him. By the way Newt Gingrich ought to get lost.

I attended the Cincinnati Tax Day tea-party rally as a speaker. But it was more interesting to be an observer.
First, here’s what I didn’t see. I didn’t see a single racist or bigoted sign or hear a single such comment. Nor did I see any evidence of “homegrown fascism.” Though in fairness, such things are often in the eye of the beholder, now that dissent has gone from being the highest form of patriotism under George W. Bush to the most common form of racism under Barack Obama.
But I did see something a lot of people, on both the left and the right, seem to have missed: a delayed Bush backlash.
One of the more widespread anti-tea-party arguments goes like this: Republicans didn’t protest very much when Bush ran up deficits and expanded government, so when Obama does the same thing (albeit on a far grander scale), Republican complaints can’t be sincere.
[..]
But how, then, to explain the relative right-wing quiescence on Bush’s watch and fiscal Puritanism on Obama’s?
No doubt partisanship plays a role. But partisanship only explains so much given that the tea partiers are clearly sincere about limited government and often quite fond of Republican-bashing. So here’s an alternative explanation: Conservatives don’t want to be fooled again.
