5 Va Opinion: Blowing in the wind
http://www.roanoke.com/opinion/editorials/our-view-blowing-in-the-wind/article_e2ad7cad-734f-5d78-822a-5d54a21bbd35.html?mode=story
-
A breath of fresh air was
blowing in the wind of this RT Editorial.
-
Still sticking with the Gore
man-made global warming AGW from man-caused CO2
However
The article well articulates
the energy options available and the major pros and cons. It highlighted the reality that all the
choices involve risk and negative impacts and that consumers and voters need to
stop just saying no and instead choose and prioritize amongst the options.
Thank You RT Editors for a
reasonable and balanced view of this difficult subject.
-
An interesting follow-up
article could focus on how many wind-turbines and hundreds of acres of solar panels
it takes to replace a current coal-fired plant and what kind of energy storage facilities
are required when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.
-
Lacking energy storage
backup capability, utilities need to have readily available a 100% redundant
system. This month of February 2015 is a good
example of the limitations of wind and solar at a time when electricity is
vital to all consumers.

Obama At The Prayer
Breakfast apparently had a “fuzzy” memory moment about his History Class at
Harvard on the Crusades.

-
Obama explained, at the
national prayer breakfast, why he’s not all that upset with Radical Muslim
Terrorist beheadings and immolations and why we shouldn’t get “on our high
horses” about it.
You-all remember that 800 years ago Christians did really bad things during the
Crusades – implying that Christians were the bad aggressors during the Crusades.
-
Apparently, this line of
thought was intended for Radical Muslim Terrorists to feel somewhat justified
and vindicated in their current reign of terror.
And
You Christians should
understand that 800 years back in your religious history your ancestors were
not nice either and were the aggressors!
-
On Dec 7, 1941 FDR declared
the Pearl Harbor Attack as a Day of Infamy and the next day Congress Declared
War.
What an incredible
comparison between two US
Presidents both of whom claim to be Democrats.
-
-
-
-
The following is (A) summary
of the lead-up to the Crusades.
Contrary to Professor
Obama’s assertions; Historical records clearly indicate a massive 400+ year
invasion into the Christian World before the Crusade’s were launched to stop
and then repel the Muslim-Saracens.
-
THE FIRST CRUSADE BEGAN IN
1095
460 years after the first
Christian city was overrun by Muslim armies.
457 years after Jerusalem was conquered
by Muslim armies.
453 after Egypt was taken
by Muslim armies
443 years after Muslims
first plundered Italy
427 years after Muslim
armies first laid siege to the Christian capital of Constantinople.
380 years after Spain was
conquered by Muslim armies.
249 years after the capital
of the Christian world, Rome
itself, was sacked by a Muslim army.
And only after centuries of
church burnings, killings, enslavements and forced conversions of Christians.
-
By the time the Crusades finally began, Muslim armies
had conquered two-thirds of the Christian world.

Perhaps Professor Obama
forgot all this Harvard History Class information in his haste to attempt to appease
his Muslim cousins. You think?

1, 6: High Court upholds deputy’s firing
The Court ruled that Virginia Sheriffs have "almost unfettered" discretion to appoint and terminate deputies.
-
Thesaurus: Unfettered:
free-for-all, unregulated, without limits or controls
-
This is amazing!
I thought the only US
government official who had “Unfettered Power” was Obama!
-
Who could have guessed that
a Virginia Sheriff had that kind of power?
-
Because the facts in this
case are unknown to the public, it’s not clear what the scope of the
“unfettered” power really is, however, one might hope that there are reasonable
limits and checks and balances to their hire-fire discretion.
-
So far we haven't seen any such reasonable and prudent and Constitution Based limits to King Obama's powers.

Roanoke Times, 2-27-2015, Pg
Va 1, 8: Roanoke County
schools expect to lose 60 students to NS move.
-
The Roanoke Times Editors
have been busy explaining that the NS move has nothing to do with the demise of
the Western-Virginia and West
Virginia coal business. It’s just a “coincidence” that this major
reduction of the NS customer business just happens to occur at the same time.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/01/roanokes-collateral-damage-from-obamas.html
-
Missing from all this
editorial expertise on business management and decision-making is the explanation
of where all the Obama-Gore-McAuliffe Virginia Alternative-Energy jobs are
located. Also lacking are descriptions
of how these coal-replacement Alternative-Energy utility facilities would have
supplied the required power for Virginia
customers during this month’s healthy bout of “Man-made Global Warming”.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-real-deniers-man-made-global.html
-
The article explains that loosing 60 students will result in the loss of approximately
$360,000 of state-federal aide. That’s
about $6,000 per student or approximately half the required amount to fund a
student for a year.
IF the school system could
reduce expenses by $360,000 based on 60 less students, then there wouldn’t be
an adverse impact on the local tax-payers.
It’s very unlikely that will
be accomplished, or anything close.
The reality is that a
combination of cuts and taxes will result in all the schools affected.
-
The next shoe has
dropped: The deactivation of the USPS
distribution center with 200 employees being effected with the certain
spill-over to the school systems.
-
Roanoke Times, 2-27-2015, Pg Va 7:
Opinion Charter Schools
-
The editors once again
lamenting the rise of Alternative Schools.
Interesting – they love Alternative
Energy – Alternative Schools – not so much!
-
Alternative Schools do
present a significant challenge to the public school systems. The proper and professional response is to
make the public schools better! So much
better that parents will not have to sacrifice six to ten thousand dollars per
year per child for an alternative school choice! This in-addition-to the school taxes they pay. Why is this hard to comprehend?
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2014/09/johnnys-illiterate-give-him-computer.html
-
We look forward, with bated
breath, to the next RT Editorial
explaining how the Obama solar-panel and wind-turbine Alternative-Energy
tax-supported initiatives are going to provide lots of good paying replacement
jobs while providing low-cost, reliable and dependable utility-level energy to all
the customers in Virginia 24-7-365.

It’s now clear that Obama is
the biggest control freak this country
has ever seen in the White House and
perhaps anywhere else!
-
-
-
-
-
Apparently Al Gore, who single-handedly invented the internet, has collaborated with Obama to ensure that anything that has not been government run must now be so for the benefit of the Proletariat.
-
Government run Global Temperature and Climate.
Government run Individuals’ HealthCare Insurance
Government run HealthCare system
Government run Energy Systems
Government run General Motors
Government run Banking System
And now:
Government run Internet based on a 1934 Law that was focused on that newfangled AM-radio thing that became popular in the 1920s!
-
Obama was born in 1961 (hard to know that for sure with that Hokey so called Birth Certificate from a hospital that didn’t exist in 1961).
Therefore, an 81-year-old law, enacted 27 years before Obama was born is now the basis for government control of the most integrated, technical and innovative communication system within our society.
-
What could possibly go wrong with this picture?

Iran
with A-bomb in 10 years.
-
This is Obama-Kerry progress? Removal of sanctions with Iran getting A-bombs to put on their
intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in 10 years!
-
-
The Obama Legacy
- Iran gets A-Bomb
- Israel and Non-Muslim World gets the shaft
- Russia gets Ukraine
- North Korea gets operational A-bombs on ICBM’s
- Assad gets Syria
- ISIS gets Iraq
- Taliban gets Afghanistan
- Boko Haram gets West Africa
- US gets expensive, intermittent and unreliable
energy systems
- US healthcare system regresses into rationed mediocre
healthcare
- US government gets expanded exponentially
- The American Taxpayers get Bankruptcy and
Socialism

3: Palestinian authorities found liable
in attacks
-
Found “liable”? Federal Jury’s in NY found the PLO
"responsible" for terrorist attacks in Israel that killed Americans as
well as Jews.
-
This after Obama has greased
the skids for the PLO to petition the UN to find Israel guilty of crimes against the
Palestinians and to approve a Palestinian Nation instead of backing the
negotiation process that has been the US policy.
-
Obama’s nasty attitude
toward Israel
is now on open display by Obama’s refusal to meet with Netanyahu The Israeli
Prime Minister during his visit to DC next month.

Obama’s disdain for Israel even extended to the Radical Muslim Terrorist
attack on a Kosher Deli in Paris -
Obama’s declaration: only random customers were killed by a bad
person!
Obama couldn't acknowledge
that it was a Radical Muslim Terrorist targeting Jews!

Bill Clinton is known for
two major initiatives in the White House.
The one most notable for America is his
Welfare Reform. Bill Clinton made
history by supporting a bipartisan Bill to help move people from Welfare to
Work, a major success for many people trapped in the Welfare swamp and for the
taxpayers and for the country.
-
Enter Obama and his Welfare
Tsunami. Because Clinton had changed the rules for the Social
Services Folks, Obama’s Key Welfare agency is the IRS.
-
ObamaCare IRS "subsidies" for
all in spite of specific limitations in the law.
-
$66 BILLION for IRS "credit"
in 2013 for people with children.
-
$500 IRS "credit" for people without
children in 2014.
-
Obama Illegial Immigrant IRS
"benefits" up to $24,000 in 2015. (Roanoke Times, 2-15-2015, Pg 4: ‘amnesty

Terror trainees: New ISIS
video shows indoctrination of kids as young as 5
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/02/23/terror-trainees-new-isis-video-shows-indoctrination-kids-as-young-as-5/
“The latest disturbing video
from ISIS shows what the Islamist group touts
as the next generation of jihadist killers, pint-sized terror trainees who
appear to be as young as 5 participating in drills and reciting verses from the
Koran.”
“The existence of such camps
seems to indicate that ISIS systematically
provides weapons training for children."
UN report on ISIS
-
-
-
-
Two observations:
- A
stark disturbing reflection back to the “kid with the hand-grenade” in the “Sniper” movie.
- Why
are these kids chanting the Koran? Do
they not know that Obama has declared that ISIS
is NOT an Islamic based movement? Do they not watch MSNBC?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/02/19/obama-urges-social-reforms-to-combat-terror-hit-for-double-speak/
-
-
Obama is absolutely
right! We (the free people of the world)
are not at War with ALL or even a major part of Islam!
However – The Radical Muslim
Terrorists have clearly declared War on US and they are basing that War on
Muslim Jihad.
Unlike Obama, they have NOT
split the Islamic faith from terrorism and Obama saying so doesn't make it so!
-
There’s something
uncomfortably sinister about Obama’s “1984 Double-speak”!
-
Starting in 1940, we were
not at War with the entire German people.
It was the Third Reich who
declared War upon US.
But FDR and Congress
declared War on ALL Germany!
Our military-industrial
machine flattened Germany
and killed millions of its people!
How can a big-time college
professor not understand this concept?
-
The leaders of Islam and the
greater Muslim population will have to confront the Radical Muslim Terrorists
in their midst or risk a major conflagration with the Free World as did the
German and Japanese Peoples in the 1940s.
The reality is that we will
not burn them to death one at a time in a cage!
