Will Barry Soetoro nominate himself to run for president?
None of the major or minor news sources have thoroughly vetted the president and his former self. Barry Soetoro, or whatever his real name is, was not even looked at or investigated by the press. A man whose name we do not know, past we know nothing of, except what is told to us in carefully planned releases, and whose true identity is a mystery, runs our country. When any negative press came to light it was glossed over and forgotten almost immediately. One rumor comes out against an honorable man, Herman Cain, and he is ruined, according to the press. He has now been exposed as a charlatan and a fake and a liar and a sexual predator. Really?
What is the difference? Why does a black president that we do not even know the background or character of get a pass, and a black candidate who by all appearances and known facts is an honorable and conscientious man, get crucified before the facts are even investigated or known?
2 AnswersElections10 years agoIf Global warming enthusiasts are right, won't its effects be minimal during the coming ice age?
Every 11,000 years, according to scientists, there is a global ice age. The big ice ages caused what they called "Snowball Earth" where the ice covered the entire surface of the earth including the tropics. Although the research of these scientists indicates this is the climactic history of the earth, they have no idea what caused the ice ages or the subsequent periods of warming, such as the one we are living in now.
One theory is that the earth's orbit around the sun is normally close to a circular orbit, but is thrown into an orbit with a very large aphelion and smaller perihelion, thus causing a majority of the obit to be spent farthest from the warming rays of the sun causing cooler temperatures. Another is that the solar system gyrates in its orbit of the milky way galactic center moving up and down from the galactic plane, and that cycle is 22,000 years. Every 11,000 years we pass through the plane and the sun's light is blocked by a cloud or debris that exists there.
What causes the ice ages is not the issue, the historical data indicates we are due for a new ice age. This would completely devastate the economy of the earth, and wipe out food sources. The only problem is there is no way to blame man for the problem. Perhaps we could get a study going on the opening of refrigerator and freezer doors and how that is contributing to the global cooling. Just a suggestion, then we could tax people who own refrigerators and freezers, and companies that use air conditioning or people who buy ice. There would be a great opportunity for Al Gore to make a movie about the plight of the Siberian Tigers running out of locals to eat because it is too cold.
11 AnswersGlobal Warming10 years agoRomney vs. Obama is the politically correct ticket, so why attend the inauguration of Herman Cain?
The political parties are shoving a presidential ticket of Obama vs. Romney down the throats of the country, saying in every media outlet that the only person who can defeat Obama is Romney, Romney is the only one with enough money to make it through the process, and so on. I am sick of being told who to vote for. I appreciate the fresh approach Mr. Cain has to the process. Honesty? Integrity? Truth? Philosophically Grounded? Humorous? Affable? Not a political Hack?
My question is this, once Herman Cain is elected by the voters, should we not attend the inauguration because according to the experts, the media and the talk show hosts he has no chance of winning? When he does win I guess it's the twilight zone we're living in and it cannot be real.
I am sick of these morons who ignore the will of the American people, and their ability to figure out the game they are perpetrating upon us. I for one, do not buy into the political parties b. s. I am looking for someone like Herman Cain.
For those of you Romney supporters do not forget that in the last election he was a loser. He was also a quitter. When he and his campaign managers saw or were told by the party hacks that the choice was McCain, he quit. I would only vote for him...Never! I will not participate in the process by casting a ballot for him if he is the choice. I will write in Herman Cain.
2 AnswersMedia & Journalism10 years agoWould you be prepared, and what steps have you taken, for manmade or natural EMP?
Electro-Magnetic Pulse, which can be induced by man with the explosion of a Hydrogen weapon in the upper atmosphere above a continent, and can cover thousands of miles of land mass, causing massive black outs and overloading of digital circuits, and can also be caused by a Mass Coronal Ejection event from the sun, is someday going to occur. Power Companies in the United States are predicting just such a naturally caused event will occur sometime in the very near future, by the year 2013. This information is available through memos and leaked communiques from companies. It is also the topic of discussion of many solar scientists, and has been for many years, since the phenomenon was first discovered by accident with the explosion of the first H bomb in outer space. Further evidence is the blackouts that have occurred as a result of Mass Coronal Ejections in the recent past. These huge solar storms bombard the earth's magnetosphere with electrically charged particles overloading it's ability to prevent them from reaching the earth and lower atmosphere.
The result is that power grids are overloaded with excess current and short out and melt and transformers are blown up. Digital electronics are fried by the excessive current that bombards the boards of the computers and other electronic devices which are bombarded by this excessive current.
The direct result of such an event has been predicted to be a civilization ending event. Knocking out electric grids, causing vehicles and aircraft to stop working, computers to fry, whole databases to be wiped out and erased or unreadable forever. Satellites could be knocked out and communications made impossible. The result would be a society like the United States which is totally dependent upon electricity and electronics and computers for everyday life to be possible would grind to a halt. The only way to conduct the affair of every day living would be to revert to a pre Twentieth Century lifestyle, with horse and buggy, home grown food and a barter system of trade.
If you have made preparations for such an event, please share what preparations you have made and why you have taken these steps. If you have not done so, please share why you believe such an event will not occur, or why if it does, you have no plans to make any preparations for it.
7 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoDo you support the President and his administration seeking ways to bypass Congress to pass his Jobs Act?
The President announced during a speech this weekend that he has told his staffers to go to work to seek ways to implement his jobs act as quickly as possible without waiting for the congress to enact it. This is just the same old Obama, as he also bypassed congress when he involved us in Lybia. This is another dangerous trait of a person who believes that they are above the law and can act unilaterally without constitutional authority to enact legislation because if promotes his political agenda and furthers his political ambitions by supplying himself with additional funds that his constituents who would be the beneficiaries of the 450 + billion dollar slush fund, would then donate back into his campaign for re-election.
17 AnswersPolitics10 years agoWill President Obama be convicted of treason against the United States after the 2012 election?
How about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Ried? How about George Bush? How about Boehner? Just about all of these life long politicians are guilty of lining their own pockets, promoting their own selfish agendas and ignoring the rule of law as outlined in the Constitution. During the Bush administration good old George tried to sell the job of protecting our Harbors and ports to Dubai. Good idea. Now we have Fast and Furious, Solyndra and George Soros involved in the White House and the Obama administration. The corruption and greed of these political hacks of both parties sickens me. It is reminiscient of Ghengis Khan.
9 AnswersPolitics10 years agoIs it legal for the justice department to sell weapons to drug cartels in Mexico if it helps to eliminate the?
Second Amendment?
I think the Fast and Furious operation was a purely politically motivated sting. The tracking of the guns used and sold to drug cartels in Mexico was shoddy and practically non existent. The idea behind it according to the conceivers of the operation was...? The only possible answer was to show that the Second Amendment must be modified or eliminated from the Constitution, as in our modern era weapons are too dangerous. The Justice Department officials including Holder should be held accountable for this fiasco, and someone needs to go to jail. It actually goes all the way to the white house and the obamanation administration. This will come to light at some future date, after the 2012 election.
2 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoSince the Lagrange Points are a sweet spot in space to orbit an object, why hasn't NASA investigated?
Why hasn't NASA investigated the Lagrange points which are the mathematically predicted points in the orbit of the earth or any planet where an object can with no power remain in orbit forever. I do not understand the math or the details, but from what I have read it is a spot where the gravity of the earth, moon and sun are all perfectly balanced and equal to zero effect upon any object within the area. I know that recently in the news there was an NEO discovered in one of the predicted Lagrange points. Does anyone know about any future explorations planned to discover the potential of these points for future space habitations and missions to other planets and space exploration in general.
5 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoHas anyone out there actually seen the gold we supposedly have in Fort Knox, does it really still exist?
I just watched a History Channel program called Decoded, and the subject was Fort Knox's Gold. Noon e has seen the gold since 1974. It is tightly guarded, and the Federal Reserve refuses all requests for information or an audit. If it is gone, or owned by another country it would not affect our money, we have been off of the gold standard since Nixon. It would hurt the confidence people have in the honesty of the government.
1 AnswerGovernment10 years agoIs Obama serious when he says he wants to be a king or a dictator?
Obama has stated publicly in several town hall meetings his frustration with congress and the delays of getting his bills passed and dealing with political parties, his own and the opposition. His preferred style of governing would be to be a little emperor or dictator of very minute stature and importance. I emphasize the lack of impressiveness for his dictatorship due to his performance or lack thereof as president.
