Support Your Local Dictator

It came up in a casual conversation. A rather simple question that was, "What has Obama done that’s been truly beneficial." Someone answered absolutely nothing. Now, I thought that was a bit harsh and felt the need to defend the man who could after all be the messiah. Well, he did kill a fly. Only a PETA whacko could complain about one less annoying bug in the world.

And it must have been quite an accomplishment the way the DNC sycophant media went ga ga. Why, our president is quite the karate kid. Actually, their reaction indicates that eerie feeling in their gut that just won’t go away of how inept Obama might be. Polls of Obama keep getting lower. It might be time for them to sell their Obama stock. If a fly massacre excites them so, what does that say about his real accomplishments?

For instance, Obama criticized Bush for his “Cowboy diplomacy.” Supposedly, it wasn’t suave enough to coddle the world’s dictators into a state of complete “happy happy joy joy.” Yet, in many westerns, cowboys were the good guys. In fact, they were the ones who when the bad guys were threatening the town folk, they formed the posse that went out to defeat them.

So, cowboys preserved the peace and flourished freedom. They were “How the West Was Won.” But, if harsh words followed with threats of action are wrong, what has Obama proposed instead. Apparently, his change is implementing the opposite, a “Do Nothing” diplomacy. Yeah, the kind of useless, endless dialogue that accomplishes absolutely nada in making the world safe from anything.

For instance, Neville Chamberlain dialoged with Hitler in what was the ultimate diplomatic “da” moment of the 20th century even announcing, “Peace in Our Time.” Did he stop Hitler? Did he make England or Europe safe? Did Chamberlain accomplish anything? His efforts no matter how well intentioned were “do nothing.”

So, the war he thought he had averted happened anyway. Obama must ask; what phrase didn’t Chamberlain say? What negotiation point did he miss? And what other allies should he have sold out along with Czechoslovakia? Maybe, Belgium should have been offered as well. If diplomacy is the end all of what should be done then where did Chamberlain go wrong? Liberals have no answer because there isn’t one.

Like 30 years before, Iran presents a difficult case for an American president who boasted that he thought it was ridiculous Bush didn’t have direct talks with its leader, “My Mood I’m in a Jihad.” Yeah, a lot of anti-American talk, and then Obama comes up with the ingenious idea of inviting them over for a barbeque. Yeah, some fireworks and pork ribs, whoops, maybe pork wouldn’t be a good idea, given that Muslims never do pig.

But alas, it was all for naught. Obama’s invitation had to be revoked. It started with an election gone awry. Not the November election here in America, although more and more voters are beginning to suspect something, no the Iranian election had some “discrepancies,” which led to street demonstrations and a violent crackdown from the regime resulting in seeing dead people.

The only thing consistent in Obama’s inactions towards the Iranian dictatorship was that it was inconsistent. Obama just couldn’t bring himself to support the demonstrators. Well, he probably thought they were tea partiers. He’s kind of been adverse to them.

Finally, after two weeks where even the president of France gave more moral support to the detractors of the mullahs, Obama gave them some lukewarm words claiming, of course, that he was with them all along.

Anyway, no Iranians was at American embassies barbeques. Still, there’s movie night at the White House served complete with presidential fried pork rinds, leftovers, of course, from dubya.

Lastly, there’s the case of the Honduras Honcho being arrested for trying to setup a dictatorship in that Latin American country. He ignored their constitution like Obama is with ours. Both the Honduran Supreme Court and legislature told him to stop.

Yet, he ignored them until the military arrested him. There was no violence except for leftist demonstrators. Control was immediately given back to the civilian government, and such there was no coup.

But, it was with remarkable speed that Obama joined with the world’s other dictatorships to condemn the ouster of a leader who wanted to hold onto power unconstitutionally. Disturbingly, Obama has aligned himself with the likes of Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Fidel Castro, all diabolical dictators of Latin America.

So, America can’t interfere in the internal affairs of a country centrifuging itself silly, yet where the people are repelling the evil deeds of a dictator wannabe, he intervenes immediately. Perhaps, it’s because Obama doesn’t like the presidential precedent that’s been made there.

Don’t Offend Me, Cause I’m An ET

Many liberals consider anyone who doesn’t support the gay agenda an extremist akin to an al-Queda terrorist. If one argues traditional marriage, his underlining reasons won’t matter. He might just as well pull out a sword and threaten to behead right there on the spot because liberals are anal especially when debating anything homosexual.

A good example would be the recent ranting of Paris Hilton, gay “Miss America” judge (Isn’t that oxymoronic?), and the treatment of Carrie Prejean. Liberals also never championed Senator Larry Craig (R-IL) who was caught, “Looking for love in all the wrong bathrooms.” Having uncontrollable urges to stand wide particularly when around porcelain, he professed; “I’m not gay” after his guilty plea went national.

Craig became the butt (probably not the best word here) of jokes of not only late night television but also the liberal media. They didn’t feel his pain. Yet, had Craig been a Democrat, he’d been lauded just as congressman Gerry Studs (D-MI) was. When Studs died in 2006 during the Republican Foley non-sex e-mail scandal, he was hailed as a “Gay Pioneer.”

It didn’t matter that he had actually had sex with a 17-year old congressional male page! Liberals justify their hypocrisy by arguing that Craig doesn’t support gay issues. Apparently, it’s okay to rape boys if one advocates gay marriage. Still, to legalize gay unions, liberals would do anything having tolerance to the point of being “homo brained.”

Like accepting extremely high taxes, for the same politicians who advocate the gay agenda also think your money is theirs. Thus, gay unions are really a very expensive proposition. Just look at states like Massachusetts and New Jersey, tax hells both.

Yet, marriage exists to be an emotional straight jacket. The primary purpose is keeping “heteros” from abandoning their progeny. After the romance fades, some spouses might split leaving their kids in the lurch.

Marriage is also fatalistic the vows being, “Till death do us part.” Where else is a contract sealed where someone’s demise is the only acceptable way out? The mob, but it doesn’t sign contracts; lucky leavers might lose just a finger. Also, many couples at the beginning are EUI, “Emotionally Under the Influence.” Who in that state of mind is even capable of making a life long commitment?

I’m only willing to broach this subject because I have recently discovered that I myself am transgendered. I knew my sexual identity had to be different from anything normal once congress passed special protections for sexual deviants like pedophiles and not for American heroes like veterans.

Now that I have an irregular sexual orientation, why if anyone criticizes me, it’s not only offensive, but it’s also bigotry. In fact, I’m an “Evolving Transgendered,” i.e. I’m an ET. My orientation changes as I discover new aspects of my sexuality that I find useful and can then append to my so-called “identity.”

Currently, I’m a sexually repressed, cross dressing lesbian trapped in a man’s body who wears my mommy’s underwear and afflicted with having occasional, yet short duration goat longings, which never quite require encumbering explanations for my Christian conservative existence. Yes, it’s quite a mouthful, and the explanation is even more so.

First, I’m “sexually repressed,” for I’ve been married over 14 years monogamously. Apparently, I’m not sexually liberated being with only one person of the opposite sex and having never been with an animal.

Next, being a “cross dressing lesbian trapped in a man’s body” might be construed especially by the un-enlightened as just being a heterosexual male. I assure you that it’s completely different though in very unexplainable ways.

I do wear underwear that my mother makes from material she finds at garage sales. She makes boxer shorts and labels them, “Kathleen M. Burk, Made in the U.S.A.” Yeah, no Chinese boxers ever touch my bottom.

The next part “goat longings” comes from a British news story of a man seen having his way with a goat by a train full of commuters back in 2002. Each time there’s a deviant story, I flashback to this disgusting tidbit. Like four Democrat legislators (2005) in Massachusetts introduced a bill to soften penalties for bestiality, and the 2007 Sundance Film Festival accepted “Zoo,” a wonderful film about an Enumclaw man who died in 2005 after having sex with a horse.

Anyway, I’ve always wondered about people who think to themselves, “I gotta get me a goat.” If I ever have feelings of that perversion, they’d be so quick that as soon as I realized them, they’d be over. So, I’ll never find myself in a barn at night straddled between too pens with a lawman’s flashlight shinning in my face. Then excusing myself, “Honest officer, I was just looking for a petting zoo.”

Stagnation Nation of a Reality Challenged Generation

Who would have thought that the messiah would return as soon as he did recently in the Middle East? According to Revelation, Jesus would descend with trumpets among billowing clouds. Alas, twas nothing compared to Air Force One descending into Cairo, Egypt, for stepping off that plane was not just a man and not just the president.

Newsweek editor Evan Thomas appeared on “Oddball” with Chris Matthews where Matthews almost electrocuted himself from all the tingles going up his legs from Obama’s speech. Apparently, O is for “Obamagasmic.”

Thomas beamed, “I think the President’s speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him [what do you mean we?]... But what I liked about the President’s speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility [Obama knows not this concept]... The question now is whether the President … can carry out the great vision he gave us and to the world.”

Then, Thomas really gushed, “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above, above the world, he’s sort of God.” Unfortunately, for Thomas like all Obamatons he’s wrong. Obama’s not some kind of god. No, he’s more than a messiah.

Jesus, hereto now known as Messiah Version 1.0, said that there would always be the poor indicating that even he couldn’t solve poverty. While he was here, he may have fed multitudes with a few loaves, but Obama will cure poverty for good with enough trillion dollar spending and “share the wealth” programs.

And while Jesus merely walked on water, Obama, like a messiah Windows-XP update, claims he controls the sea level, saying his election will be when the oceans stopped rising. And, Jesus may have calmed a storm that arose while asleep on a boat, Obama will stop climate change completely, just a phenomenon that’s only been occurring since little ole Earth began.

In fact, Obama may be even more powerful than the Sun, that yellow orb that’s only 800 million times the size of Earth. A recent NASA study, that’s been almost completely ignored by the media, concluded that all of the observed climate change in the 20^th century was caused by ole Sole. Still, they did add the perfunctory face saving grace concluding that man causes all climate change now.

So by inference, Obama rules the weather. Still, Obama won’t ever accept the sun’s role because that means we don’t need him or his trillion dollars “Stick It to Us” plans. One thing this Superman Socialist learned from his prestigious “edumacation” is that he’s so smart he can run everyone’s life even though he’s run little else before.

Liberals have always had qualms using the religious terms B.C. and A.D. Instead, they’ve been using the secularized terms BCE (Before Common Era) and CE. But, B.O., which normally means Body Odor, could now mean “Before Obama,” designating the time when we were essentially messiah-less and all walked around like zombies. Eventually, A.D. will mean “After Destruction.”

And, while our fearless leader wants to take away the arms of American citizens who actually have a right to possess them, he has no problem with Iran getting nuclear weapons. Maybe, the US Constitution should have a “living document” reinterpretation where individuals would instead have a right to bear nuclear arms. Can’t defend yourself with a bullet, but you can blow to smithereens any section of a city.

Liberals also revere abortion doctors. When one was recently murdered, Obama issued a statement immediately condemning it and why not? He was a fellow prophet in his culture of death. Performing many late term abortions and for profit no less is apparently the best way to pursue this wannabe messiah’s heart.

But, when a recent radical Muslim convert killed US soldiers, they got practically nada from the messiah. Where did liberals learn to hate the military? One possibility is that it came from the Soviets themselves.

Their propaganda not only taught that freedom was slavery and total government control was liberation, but they also included a heavy dose of anti-military rhetoric. Well, the Soviets didn’t want American youth joining the US military to defend their freedom.

They actually had dreams of defeating America someday. They were after all serious about world domination. The irony is that even though their system collapsed they may still be successful at bringing ours down, for this generation is so caught up in trivial occupations as their freedom disappears.

What makes the founding fathers’ feat of the US revolution even more incredible is that they weren’t lulled by their material comforts into accepting a deteriorating status quo. Instead, they risked everything to create a system where individuals were free. Unfortunately, today’s generation lacks an understanding of what’s being lost, and the price that previous generations paid for it.

Supreme Subversion

As time transpires the more leftists prove they are “Living in a liberal la la loony land.” It will never occupy either a time or space except between the ears of their inner space. It’s what allows them to fully support a nominee who is wholly unqualified to serve on any court let alone the Supreme Court.

In Obama’s opinion, judging should be shaped by “empathy” as much or even more than judicial reason. Unquestionably, he has demonstrated that nominating a Supreme Court justice is simply above his pay grade. So much so, that he has totally disqualified himself from ever nominating another justice again.

Because his selection criterion means that a confirmed justice would automatically violate this oath from day one: “I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

So, while Obama’s president, a selection moritorium should be imposed even if the number of members on the Supreme Court gets reduced sort of a reverse FDR who attempted to pack the court during his tenure. So, with Souter’s departure, eight is enough, and with one less liberal, it certainly doesn’t hurt.

In a speech published in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal in 2002, current nominee Judge Sotomayor offered her own interpretation of jurisprudence. Being that she’s a member of “La Raza” which in Spanish means “The Race.” If this were a white men’s organization, liberals would never stop caterwauling racism.

So, she said, “Justice [Sandra Day] O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases.” But then she declared, “I am . . . not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, . . . there can never be a universal definition of wise.” Only a liberal would argue that wisdom can’t be defined.

But the statement that gets her into trouble, was, “Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.” Whew! It’s a good thing that’s she’s not a white male, or she’d be a male chauvinistic racist pig.

For liberals believe that only typical whites can be racists. Not only has she echoed this statement many times, but racism affects her court decisions as well. One was Ricci v. DeStefano involving the promotion of white New Haven firefighters, and is now pending before the Supreme Court.

The case, heard by a three-judge panel including Judge Sotomayor, the city refused to certify exams because minorities did poorly. So, 18 white including one Hispanic firefighters were denied promotions. They sued rightly charging discrimination.

After the three judge panel issued a brief opinion repeating the district court’s decision, Sotomayor‘s appeals court declined to rehear the case, an outcome which infuriated her colleague and fellow Hispanic Jose Cabranes.

In his dissent joined by five of his colleagues, Judge Cabranes criticized the horrible handling of the case. The “perfunctory disposition” of the opinion, he noted, “lacks a clear statement of either the claims raised by the plaintiffs or the issues on appeal.”

Judge Cabranes added the case were “worthy of review” by the Supreme Court, which may well overturn Sotomayor’s ruling. And in a case of poetic justice they may just do it during her confirmation hearings, not that liberals would notice.

While liberals argue loony concepts like the cycle of violence, which supposedly occurs when America defends itself against terrorists. Somehow, we create more terrorists when we stop their attacks on us. Yet, liberals never comprehend that there could also be a “cycle of discrimination.”

If enhanced interrogation techniques helped al-Queda’s recruitment, wouldn’t a racist Supreme Court eventually swell KKK ranks? Consider minorities enraged by liberal group politics. They want reparations. They want affirmative action and worse to fix “white privilege.”

They even accept the dismissal of a case already won involving the new Black Panthers intimidating white voters at a Philadelphia poll last November. But, Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department has put justice and voting on hold, which sends a clear message that this behavior will be tolerated even more in the next election.

So, instead of working towards equal opportunity and justice for all, they insist on systematic prejudices to oppress another class of people. Gee, sort of like what happened in previous generations. Well, if that created this current “Get Evenism” mentality of minorities today why wouldn’t the reverse just create more racial unrest in the future?

Change That’s Totally Insane

Chrysler is in crisis, and hope at GM is dim. But, Obama’s in charge, appointing czars, who’ll redesign our cars. He’s switching CEOs like a man gung ho about a business he just dunno. After auto companies stealing, leaving many dealerships reeling, his idea of change is now revealing. And, it’s change that’s not only goes up the yin yang but also is totally insane.

At least, for those who own Chrysler or GM dealerships, they got to be wondering. After bailing out both of them, two of the big three, for the moment Ford has forgone any government money, but it’s only a matter of time before “CEO-bama” gets his trifecta and subdues them as well.

Anyway, dealerships all over the country got “Dear John” letters telling them their relationship with Chrysler was over. And like a love affair gone bad, there was no official rhyme or reason given for the termination.

Business could have actually been going well, but nevertheless the Obaminator says, “You are closed,” and there’s nothing anybody can do. It’ll be like his socialized medicine. When he says, “No care for you cause you’re too old,” that’ll be it with no other recourse.

Or maybe as some have discovered the criterion for closing the dealerships depended solely on whom they supported in the last election. Dealers who donated to Republicans were almost exclusively the ones being closed with the exception of one in Texas that donated only $200 to “campaign insane.” Next time buddy, pony up and donate more skin to the messiah.

And, some dealerships were forced to take more vehicles with assurances that they would not get stuck with them. Those unfortunate businesses will have cars that cannot be sold as “new” with a warranty, ultimately lessening their value. And it’s insane to do these closings because dealerships don’t cost the automobile manufacturers money.

As bad as it is for these Chrysler dealerships, Saturn, Pontiac and Saab have it far worse. Since Obama’s GM has decided to drop these lines, those dealerships are effectively in “Obamo-Limbo-Land.”

But, hey it’s not like they were going to sell that well anyway. For “O-madman” has even cut the advertising budget. So the selling side is sold short, while nothing is done to reduce the cost. All this was to preserve corrupt unions.

Obama said that he hopes GM and Chrysler emerge “leaner, meaner, more competitive,” while he avoided mentioning GM’s bankruptcy. Of course, he shunned that subject because GM bondholders rejected a deal, actually more of a steal where they’d have only gotten 10% on their money.

And, GM will probably need another bailout of $40 billion. Incidentally, according to a Rasmussen poll only 21% support this insane drain on the taxpayer while 67% oppose. Even as Dr. Obama talked about the health of the auto industry in a C-Span interview a day after another $four billion was pumped into GM, raising the bailout total to more than $19 billion.

However, the auto industry isn’t the only one suffering from the “Obamic” bomb. Since he and his fellow “Obamacrats” have demonized corporate jets, Cessna, which was actually planning a new plane, has canceled it since CEO’s have become fearful of being hauled up in front of congress to be given the “hypocritical” oath. Cessna has laid-off many employees as a result.

Oh, and the 25 police cadets in Columbus, OH that were saved with the “Stick It to Us” plan. Well, now if voters there don’t approve a tax increase, they’ll lose their jobs along with 275 other officers. So, those positions will just have to be subtracted from the 100000 or so jobs the “Obamagician” claims he rescued but can never quite cite how.

There’s also Las Vegas that has been Obamatized traumatized. More than 400 conventions and business meeting have been canceled since Obama decreed, “You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers dole.” Lucky, for the NFL that “Obamacane” struck after the big game was played.

Last, but certainly not all, the takeover of the American way of life continues with house passage of Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) Climate Change bill. This act won’t change the weather, but it will change living in America in ways that even its author doesn’t fully understand. For Waxman never actually read his own bill.

Finally, there’s the candid statement from Transportation secretary Ray LaHood. When describing livable communities, he admitted that people will be forced from their cars because “about everything we do around here is government intrusion into people’s lives.”

Well, that’s certainly change. Funny, liberals constantly rail against religion especially Christianity that can’t even suggest how people should live, but bureaucrats, who believe in a hoax, can and surely will.

Abortion Contortion

President Obama’s commencement speech at Notre Dame caused great controversy. At issue was the fact that Obama is supposedly pro-choice, and Notre Dame is a catholic university that should be pro-life. Some were critical that Obama was given an honorary degree. Some complained that Obama should have never been allowed to give a speech there in the first place. So much so, they suggested the university be renamed, “Notre Shame.”

Father Richard McBrien, a professor of theology at Notre Dame, supported the decision to honor the president saying on Fox News Sunday (5/17), “Father Jenkins, our president, has made it very clear that the honorary degree and … to address our graduates in no way suggests support for all of his positions, including … abortion and … embryonic stem cell research.”

But he also said, “There are other positions he has taken … immigration or poverty … which are entirely consistent with Catholic social teaching.” Okay, so the Pope is a socialist now. And, when did helping the poor become a government mandate to take over the private sector?

So, basically according to McBrien, Catholics believe in Obama’s “share the wealth” policies. Wonder if he will continue to agree after Obama puts Catholic charity out of business by eliminating the charitable tax deduction.

And does Father McBrien agree that illegals should be allowed to pour across the border, receiving free services and taking jobs that if the truth be known aren’t ones Americans don’t want, but simply can’t get because employers hire illegals for far cheaper. Maybe, it’ll only be a problem for him when illegals take professorships at Notre Dame.

Yet, Father McBrien most idiotic comment was, “If we required 100 percent agreement with the Catholic Church’s official teaching … we would then not have any politicians of either party.” But, Obama’s beliefs on abortion do not fall within societal norms.

Most people fall within the pro-life to pro-choice spectrum. Pro-life may allow abortions in cases of rape, and pro-choice may allow abortions beyond the first trimester. But, Obama is an extremist for he strongly supports partial birth abortions, a hideous procedure where a baby is turned around to the breach position, head crushed. Then has his/her brain sucked out.

Obama even sponsored a bill in the Illinois state legislature that would kill a baby after a botched abortion, i.e. after being born alive. So, Obama is effectively the David Duke of the abortion realm. Would Father McBrien be all smiles if this KKK leader came to Notre Dame to speak as well as get an honorary degree?

Yet, even pro-choice is somewhat extremist allowing murder simply because a baby hasn’t survived the birth canal. For pro-choice is just a nice way to say pro-death. For if pro-choice is so essential for freedom’s sake, why was the Soviet Union the first nation in modern times to legalize abortion in 1919? The USSR murdered tens of millions and created a gruesome gulag system that’d put Gitmo to shame.

Essentially, the problem with abortion is that somebody’s gotta die. That could be eliminated if after a fetus is removed, it’s instead incubated as technologically feasible to full-term like preemies. Yes, it’s a woman’s body, but at the umbilical cord starts another body that shouldn’t be removed until there’s reasonable expectation of being kept alive.

Abortion insurance could be available to cover the high costs. Unfounded mandates popular with limousine liberals shouldn’t be required of hospitals, which would just defray the expenses elsewhere.

And, if abortion weren’t murder, why do so many pro-choice supporters profess that it should be rare? Or condoms should be passed out at schools like condiments, so sexually crazed kids can avoid abortions. Abstinence education may not necessarily be more effective, but it works every time it’s tried.

While that’s a trite expression, it’s true. Only one person has ever been naturally pregnant without sexual relations, the Virgin Mary. And, unless God is planning for Jesus to return as a human sometime soon, it’s a feat never to be repeated.

Ultimately, individuals must choose. It’s like telling kids not to do drugs whether it’s “Just say no” or instituting full rehab rights, it comes down to refusing that mysterious white powder when peer pressure is at its height. That’s why Sarah Palin’s daughter got pregnant even though her mother is staunchly pro-life.

Finally, no contraceptive is 100% effective especially condoms. If kept in a wallet, micro tears form even if left in the package. And, if every contraceptive device known to man were used simultaneously, there’s still a chance albeit small of failure. So, anything else other than teaching abstinence is like learning in Driver’s Ed to run red lights. A driver may get through many unscathed, but once is all it takes to get T-boned.

Earth in a Lurch?

Seems everyone is going green at least on TV and in the media. Yes, everyone wants to save the planet as if it needed saving. Yet, humankind is a Johnny come-lately to the planetary party. If Earth had needed our help in its long history, somehow we wouldn’t have been here to contemplate the possibility.

Anyway, being carbon neutral is the new “in” thing to be. So much so, Disney has offered to plant a tree in your honor if you see their new movie, “Earth.” Maybe, they got some deal with a lumber company who’s planting trees anyway. Well, they never said your tree wouldn’t be cut down someday and turned into furniture. Sorry, to let that log out of the bag so to speak.

Al Gore of “The Incontinent Truth” fame is getting a statue in Tennessee. Since Gore is so stoic, nobody will be able to tell whether the statue is the real him or not. The statue is being erected because he received a Nobel Peace Prize for creating the current fervor of fossil fuel fear mongering. His book “Earth in the Balance,” claims that the planet teeters on the brink, and unless we give global government great power and Gore tons of money for his carbon credits, Earth will be totally doomed.

Hence, the reason why Disney is so interested in getting some trees planted. Why, if they don’t, we could all be “Gulp” gasping for air. Help! I can’t breathe. Well, not exactly. If trees provided all of the world’s oxygen, we’d have been all out of breath by now. Actually, much of the world’s oxygen comes from the oceans. Just another reason they cover 70% of the planet.

Scare stories written about the oceans becoming too acidic to support life are just pure bunk. Supposedly, as oceans absorb CO2, carbonic acid is formed. And if enough is created, the oceans will turn into the largest super sized soft drink putting essentially Seven Elevens out of business.

An economic, but not necessarily an ecological disaster it’d be in the making. But as CO2 accumulates in oceans, it doesn’t just stay there. Otherwise, oceans would have become the liquid part of a Happy Meal long ago. Just think, getting a drink at the beach would no longer require leaving the water.

Instead blame it all on stinking algae. No really, blame all of your life’s problems on this simple molecular plant, because without it you wouldn’t be here and such none of your problems. Algae are responsible for as much as 70% of atmospheric oxygen. So, plant algae not trees.

And like plants, which grow faster in more CO2, 6% faster in fact, Algae would probably grow better as well although some eco-warriors are actually attempting to seed the ocean with iron and silicic acid both principal components of algae. But these oceanic manipulators were disappointed because even though phytoplankton boomed they weren’t doomed to forever lock CO2 on the ocean’s bottom. Seems other creatures were too interested in eating them.

But CO2 must go somewhere, and the oceans are most likely the key. In the 1800’s, two volcanoes Krakatoa (1883) and Tambora (1815) were such large eruptions they temporarily changed the climate. Talk about catastrophic climate change. Tambora actually caused the “Year without a Summer.”

Mainly, it was the particulates released high into the atmosphere which reflected sunlight, but CO2 was released as well. While human emissions dwarf normal volcanic output by a factor of 150, volcanic emissions have been occurring far longer.

And, the oceans dwarf human emissions. At least that’s what Roy Spenser PhD in Meteorology, postulates. He believes that ocean warming accounts for 90% of the CO2 increase seen at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii. From 1958, it went from 315 to 385 ppm. The rest came from the heavy breathing of star struck astronomers.

Then, there’s Larson-B, big Antarctic glacier, which collapsed in 2002 much quicker than anyone predicted, even faster than global warming could have caused. Lo and behold, an erupting undersea volcano was recently discovered in its “proximity.” Although no one is willing to make the great leap to say that Larson-B’s demise was not love from above but heat from beneath, volcanic activity could just answer that mystery.

But in a world of “scientifically driven crapola” where if it doesn’t fit the “lit”-any the media won’t acknowledge it, many scientists are careful to never buck politics. Obama claims he will return science to its rightful place. Obama wouldn’t know science if it bit him in the nose.

Science is an endeavor in pursuit of the truth. Obama, it’s nothing more than replacing one dogma with another. For science indicates that it’s not Earth in a balance. Instead it’s Earth that’s constantly balancing.
