Continuing to unravel the Soetoro-Obama legend
By Doug Hagmann
Allen K. Hulton is not a household name, nor is it his desire to have it become one. He is a man with a simple story, an account of incidents that took place over a period of several years while delivering mail in a Chicago suburb. He spent about 30 years delivering mail, years that would have been contiguous had he not served in the military during the Vietnam era.

Only God and Americans can save the U.S. from Obama
By Guest ColumnTo Americans everywhere:
As Wes Riddle of Texas has written, “The term Republic had a significant meaning for all early Americans. The form of government secured by the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution was unique, requiring strict limitation of government power. Powers that were permitted would be precisely defined and delegated by the people, with all public officials being bound by their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

By Warner Todd Huston
Turning back to that page out of Stalin’s handbook for good citizenship, the Obama campaign has revived its program of asking Americans to inform on fellow citizens when they see someone, some organization, some politician, or some news outlet “attacking” the Obammessiah.

My Second-Most-Remarkable Moment
By Dennis Avery --Global Warming - ClimategateChurchville, VA—I had my second-most-remarkable moment while at the Heartland climate skeptics’ conference in Chicago last week. The conference was terrific, for climate scientists, geologists, economists, NASA engineers, and interested attendees. The highlight for me, though, was Sebastian Lunning, who co-authored Germany’s best-selling new book The Cold Sun: Why the Climate Catastrophe Won’t Happen.
Questions We’re Often Asked: Soil vs. Dirt
By Wes Porter --Gardening“It’s like trying to become a gardener without touching the dirt,” Christopher Perillo, a science teacher in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was quoted as saying in New Scientist magazine. Perillo may be a science teacher but he would be a dubious gardener with that attitude. Soil is not dirt. Dirt is what politicians sweep under the carpet. Soil is what plants grow in and, ultimately, what feeds and shelters us – even politicians and science teachers.

UN Climate Talks Running Out Of Cash
By Guest Column --Global Warming - ClimategateThe UN climate campaign is running out of money. Launched with high hopes, the global “Green Climate Fund” (GCF), set up by the United Nations to finance climate change projects in the developing world, is gridlocked due to an international power play. Meanwhile, the UNFCCC Climate Change Secretariat does not know how to raise five million Euros needed for its next climate conference.—Bernhard Potter, Die Tageszeitung, 24 May 2012
Animal Welfare and Food Control
By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh --Energy - Environment --
Popular ReadsAnimal rights groups believe that animals have the same rights as people. Our diets and daily life should be free of any animal-based products. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) subscribe to the idea that animals have equal rights to humans. “A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy” by Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of PETA, shockingly exemplifies the animal rights creed.
Reality Check: Obama’s Clean Coal Claims
By Institute for Energy Research --Energy - EnvironmentAccording to White House energy adviser Heather Zichal, the Obama administration still sees a future for coal. She also said that the administration wasn’t “singing ‘Kumbaya’” with the natural gas industry and was committed to seeing coal burned “in a more environmentally friendly way.”[ia] But what does that mean and how do we reach that point?
God Matters
By Bruce Walker --American Freedom --
Popular ReadsLeftism, in many ways, is simply rebellion against God. Conservatives are overwhelmingly more religious than leftists, and there is a reason for this grand divide. Conservatives know that “governments” are simply gaggles of morally flawed humans whose natural lust for power tends towards corruption and expediency.

Seventeen churches have been forcibly closed in Indonesia’s Aceh province following last month’s election of a hard-line Islamic governor.

Green Energy Transition: Germany Fears De-Industrialisation
By Guest Column --Global Warming - ClimategateAs a result of Germany’s green energy transition, electricity prices are exploding. Consumers and businesses are paying the price while Germany faces gradual de-industrialisation. Economists estimate that the cost of the green energy transition will total 170 billion Euros by 2020. This is more than double of what Germany would have to write off if Greece were to withdraw from the monetary union. “The de-industrialization has already begun,” the EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger has warned.—Handelsblatt, 23 May 2012

The Last Days of the Media
By Daniel Greenfield --Media - Media BiasThe magazine business isn’t what it used to be. In the last ten years, Newsweek lost 2.5 million readers, and its newsstand sales are hardly worth mentioning. A full-page ad in it costs less than the price of a luxury car. Sold for a buck to the husband of an influential Congresswoman, merged with an internet site, it survives only by building issues around provocative essays and covers.
There He Goes Again: Paul Krugman Invents Solyndra “Facts”
By Institute for Energy Research --Energy - EnvironmentPaul Krugman is a Nobel-winning economist with expertise on international trade, yet he has a disturbing habit of pontificating with confidence on matters where he is either deliberately misleading or is simply ignorant of the basic facts. I have previously documented this habit when Krugman commented on the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, and more recently when he carelessly repeated “facts” about mercury emissions that were obviously nonsense to anyone with common sense.

Has Al Gore Gone Over the Edge or Can’t He Handle the Truth?
By Jerry McConnell --Global Warming - Climategate --
Popular ReadsOver the past several years I have ripped former Vice President Al Gore for his far, far left rambles and rants on what he once called ‘Global Warming’ but now refers to as ‘Climate Change’. Of course, when global warming was smacked down by authentic climatologists, unlike the “pretend” types such as Gore and his misled followers, the debunked terminology was discreetly changed to something that we know is a fact; who can argue the new title ‘Climate Change’? Is it now no more than just a factual, inarguable subject?
