Warm Earth, Part I: Flat Earth?
I decided to break up in to pieces my thoughts on the idiotic ideas of “man-made global warming” simply because there is just to much to cover and I don't want to risk boring you, my readers. So here goes…
Warm Earth, Part I: Flat Earth?
There was a dark period in humanity where religion and monarchies ruled in tandem (and occasionally bickered over power issues) to keep subjects ignorant and oppressed. While many are quick to say it never happened (mainly the Catholic church!) we all know about the “Flat Earth” theory. Why are people calling us, those who laugh when the subject of man-made global warming is mentioned with any amount of seriousness, “Flat Earthers?” I submit to you that we are living in the early part of that era all over again when it comes to global warming.
Flat Earth theories arose from the Catholic Church out of their desire for power as well as their literal translations of Jesus’ words. By medieval times the church had become so corrupted by money and power, at that point the bible was not to be read by “inferior beings” and that it was only to be read and interpreted by men of God. When these supposed men of God translated Jesus’ words about spanning the globe converting the gentiles, He had mentioned the “four corners of the earth” and it was taken literally by those men of God. As a result, it was taught in the Catholic Church that the earth was flat.
Monarchies that submitted to papal authority did not dispute it. They used it as a tool of fear and wanted to keep those, whom talked of sailing to distant lands, under the control of the church and the monarchies. When it was proven that no one fell off the earth, the theory was quickly swept under the rug and only a few were left to defend it, and to this day there are still some that defend this loony and obviously counterfactual theory. So when we are being called flat earthers when it comes to global warming, it is suppose to be an insult, but to the contrary, those who did not let the all consuming fear-mongering of a flat earth hold them back discovered a whole new world.
It is, of course, overwhelmingly evident that we are in those beginning stages of the global warming theory as the flat earth was in that it is an unproven science that is being taught on a massive scale, recklessly, to the detriment of our very own existence. Much like flat earth theory was… the current global warming frenzy also bears the same fear-mongering. I surmise that in the not too distant future that there will exist a small few that will still believe that man made global warming is real… one of which I can already put money on will be Al Gore, the C- science student, who flies around in his own jet preaching to us about riding bicycles and wiping our fannies with leaves. As there is still a group out there that still believes without a doubt the earth is flat (see the following link: http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm, yep they really do still exist!) I am sure in a few years Al Gore will be heading the “Man Made Global Warming Society” which will be primarily on the same internet he “invented.” Laughable indeed!
So please don’t be insulted when someone calls you a “flat earther” for laughing at their inane pre-programmed brainwashed ramblings about man made global warming. Just calmly let them know that those who were considered heretics or their time were actually right all along!

Journalists Make Me Laugh!
Current Journalism = Informing the Masses
Today’s standard of journalism can only be described as the best that has been seen since televisions inception. These courageous men and women known as “journalists” show our country what is truly meaningful in life. Sure they can’t be right all the time but it is what they do most of the time that counts! This country couldn’t survive without the constant updates we get from the television while living in the “Information Age.” While some beg to differ, a good explanation is in order here.
Our very democracy and political winds depend on it! So what if a respected journalist assured his own career death by proceeding to report a fabricated story about a sitting president that refuted his military service, just weeks before voters went to the polls? When the candidate of a particular party doesn’t cut the mustard, the party can depend on a biased media to come up with last minute fabrications and cross their fingers hoping it would change the direction of the country’s political winds. What mattered was throwing a presidential election, without this kind of drama, politics would be dead! Our young voters would have no reason to go to the polls each November if it wasn’t like some rendition of what happens on a weekly prime time Gen-X show. Or maybe the news story about a college professor, whose vehicle was vandalized by racists and sexist dolts, that got our attention and helped us all realize the real issues facing women and minorities. If it got us all thinking and talking about those ever important issues, it shouldn’t matter that the professor vandalized her own car. What mattered was she got her 15 minutes or so to lecture not from her usual lectern to naive students at an unknown college, but from the ultimate podium of national news to all of us stolid Americans on better treatment of women and minorities. Maybe it is the story about a soldier who fought and was injured in a nationally unpopular war, who denounced this country and the military by claiming various violations of the Geneva Conventions. It actually doesn’t matter that this person was never a soldier longer than a few weeks before being washed out of basic training, or that they had never stepped foot in an actual combat zone. The matter was refocusing anti-American sentiment in foreign lands and to bring about national self-odium, all in the interests of “bringing our troops home.” This is such a valiant cause that we should not judge or dispute their sources one iota. Why should any of this hurt national networks or journalists reputations? They were only doing what was right in “guiding” the citizens of this country who are just too dumb to know any better.
Our inability to think for ourselves is stupendous reason why journalism is surely needed in this day in age! Didn’t you know that refrigerators and central Air is making us lazy and fat? You would if you watched the news reports about how good we spoiled brats have it here in the Land of the Free. Therefore we must be much too lazy to be able to use the gray matter betwixt our ears. This is where our news media with their journalists come in to fill our heads with all the knowledge we need to know about the days events on how much more obese and inert we are all getting, and all the long-term affects that go along with being that way. Never mind the hard work it took to get us to the point where we could relax enough to make a beltlines a little more snug, just focus on the ideas that we will never be as skinny and active as the celebrities they gush about in breaking news stories through out the day.
Our everyday lives revolve around celebrities and therefore we must be apprised on in their lives everyday! A washed up singer stays in the headlines for over two years because we all had to know what she did that day that made her a horrible parent, or that her marriage was failing, or that she was going to lose her children because she couldn’t tame her wild side that craves all the media attention. Perhaps it was the jailbird heiress we love to hear about that kept us tuning in. We also love to see that actor whose religion now overshadows every aspect of his career and life because it all help us to feel better about the choices and decisions we make in our own lives, and who better to bring it to us than those national news networks that make it their living to distract the masses. In Rome circa 29 A.D., Gladiatorial shows were used to quell the underprivileged masses by distracting them, and keeping those masses from political unrest. The current spectacles of celebrities by no means Gladiator shows, but in essence it does the same thing. Those unhappy with the government or foreign relations can be entertained and distracted by these emaciated manifestations of the celebrity culture. Who better to do this for us than our very own free news media!
The current journalism is not without its flaws, but almost every aspect of journalists and their noble causes is to keep this country informed of the issues most important to us. There is a world-wide non-profit organization called “Reporters without borders” of which according to them in 2007, the United States ranked 48th on the “Yearly worldwide press freedom ranking of countries.” This ranking indicates that there are other countries that have far more freedom of press without government and non-government entities influencing and interfering with what eventually makes it to the audiences. That still shouldn’t keep us from turning on that television set to get the daily uplifting dose of what is going on in our nation and world.

Clutzy Radio Personality Not Mugged by Conservative Radicals
What ever happened to Randi?
Air America host Randi Rhodes fell while walking her dog and immediately her cohorts are crying foul and demanding that right-wingers be held responsible for her “mugging” or “attack” in a supposed attempt to shut her up. Yet Ann Coulter, who addressed a university audience whom had invited Ann, is attacked by pie-throwers, and it was actually caught on tape nonetheless! This is indisputable evidence in a court of law and yet the DA dismissed any all charges against the assailants on a private citizen who was just exercising her right to “free speech.” Nothing was said about left-wingers conspiring to shut up a dissident voice, a voice that constantly (and quite literally) preaches “diversity” in thought. So why the double standard? Especially when one was real and the other was fake... Does Air America and those who accuse us, the conservative “right-wingers,” have egg on their face? Will the media continue to cover this story and let the public know what really happened to the woman who walks her animals at night in a city known for its anonymous crime? Will the American people ever know the truth that she, like many imperfect human beings had a moment of clumsiness and not attacked by some one wanting to shut her up to the small audience and following that Ms. Rhodes has? It would be more likely in the city of New York to be mugged for your wallet than to be mugged for saying something political. In the dark no less, where it would be near impossible to make out a face of a (drumroll please...) radio personality!
In an article by Indymedia, located on Indybay.org, states the following about the supposed mugging of this woman, “An Air America representative confirmed Tuesday morning that Rhodes was mugged. Calls have been made to Rhodes and the New York City police department's press office, and as more details become available they'll be reported here.” That is a pretty cut and dry statement about what happened, and yet the very same IndyBais has yet to come out with the truth.
How despicable and dirty can liberals get before they start having their “Nazi hunts,” similar to the witch hunts of Salem, Mass. If they would for just a minute break themselves away from killing unborn babies and supplying fresh needles to heroine addicts they could possibly do it, if there were really fascist Nazi right-wingers to hunt down. At least in the witch hunts of Salem the pilgrims pulled themselves straight away from what they were doing to fight “evil.” At least McCarthy knew for a fact that there existed commie spooks and had a pretty good idea where to look! The liberals have nothing but the truth as their enemies. That is one enemy that will never go away either, unless of course if Hillary is elected president…
