The Ethics Violation that Never Was.

Newton Gingrich was innocent.

The latest mantra in this charged primary season is Newt is 'unelectable' because of his ethics violations while Speaker of the House.'   Kennesaw State is a well reputed college north of Atlanta Georgia, and is the location of an 'ethics' controversy from the 1990's brought by Ben Jones,  the actor that portrayed 'Cooter' on the Dukes of Hazard.  The democrats are often hopping mad when they lose, as they were when they lost control of the house in 1994.   Cooter was especially mad, since he lost his bid to congress to Newt. Cooter sent a report to the ethics committee that claimed a course taught by Gingrich at Kennesaw State was political, and not educational as claimed.  This 'fraud' meant Newt was being paid to be partisan and was hiding taxable income.  The democrat fury, much like today, was intense.  Newt would plead guilty to two minor charges, largely to restore order to the House.  A three year IRS investigation, finding no wrongdoing, completely exonerated Newt. The only thing that Newt may be guilty of, as are may Republicans, is folding to democrats.  I think he's learned.  On the 'politics in school' thing, is there any doubt that public educational institutions have been co-opted by the left?

The Elephant in the Room

About Mitt Romney...

Nobody wants to mix religion and politics, but this time around, I think we should.  At issue is an intrinsic deceptiveness of the Mormon theology in making the claim they are Christians.  As the first viable Mormon candidate for the office of POTUS Mitt Romney gains in the polls - it's time to expose a tenant of Mormonism that many don't know.  Christians believe in the Judaic God.  When Moses asked God by what name he should say he was sent, God replied "I Am that I Am!  Tell them I AM sent you."  Many consider this to be the impetus for the tetragrammation YHWH.  The name YHWH indicates the Biblical truth of God as eternal and self existent.  God needs nothing for his eternal, omnipotent existence.  He has no cause, but is the cause of everything.  This notion completes philosophy, science and religion.  One of the first things that identifies a cult is any attempt to limit any attribute of God the Father, or Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit.  This is exactly what Mormonism does.

God the father in Mormonism is materially no different than man.  He is not omniscient, omnipotent, or eternal.  A Mormon considers God to be a created being like man and that men will become like God.  The Mormon Father God does not have the ability to create matter ex nihilo (out of nothing.)  The Bible makes it clear the nature of God.  Mormonism denies the Bible, and the exclusivity of God and Christ. How could the Jesus of Mormonism have the power to save?

This is the most egregious thing about Mormonism.  But another equally alarming aspect of it is the farcical,  ludicrous story line called the Book of Mormon.  I leave the investigation of the Book of Mormon to the reader.  There is no dearth of information that could be had with a few internet searches. mrm.org has a wealth of information.

 

How does Holder do it?

Eric Holder still enjoys public employment as US Attorney General despite the Fast and Furious gun-running scam.  The fast and furious program that was almost certainly instituted to create a gun crisis that could be 'fixed' through gun control.  Eric remains on the job with the presidents blessing despite all the evidence that he lied to the senate.  He is still employed though he refused to prosecute perpetrators of voter intimidation.   He still shows up for work day after day to this day even though he announces he will only selectively enforce US law in the case of illegal entry into the USA.  So how does he do it?  

Rules for ***

The weekly Standard has an article titled Rules for Republicans.  It has several rules, the first of which I like the best.   Rule 1: Define your big idea.  This one is hard for the Republican party, because they have a lot of mutually contradictory ideas.  If I were Reince Piebus, I would make the big idea 'Freedom'.  I think this has always been at the heart of the party.  Republicans have lost their way, supporting social welfare programs that are really a form of enslavement.  The tea party, thankfully has been able to turn the party in a much more hopeful direction, despite what the liberal establishment media writes or says.

Sun Causes Climate Change Shock

By James Delingpole Environment Last updated: August 27th, 2011

If Michael Crichton had lived to write a follow-up to State of Fear, the plotline might well have gone like this: at a top secret, state of the art laboratory in Switzerland, scientists finally discover the true cause of “global warming”. It’s the sun, stupid. More specifically – as the Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark has long postulated – it’s the result of cosmic rays which act as a seed for cloud formation. The scientists working on the project are naturally euphoric: this is a major breakthrough which will not only overturn decades of misguided conjecture on so-called Man Made Global Warming but will spare the global economy trillions of dollars which might otherwise have been squandered on utterly pointless efforts to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, these scientists have failed to realise just how many people – alarmist scientists, huckster politicians, rent-seeking landowners like (the late Michael Crichton’s brilliant and, of course, entirely fictional creation) the absurd, pompous Sir Reginald Leeds Bt, green activists, eco-fund managers, EU technocrats, MSM environmental correspondents – stand to gain from the Man Made “Climate Change” industry.

Editors Note: Both facts and interpretation are in order, but political correctness (fear) prevails.  So the poor IE (intellectual elite)  remains fact deprived.  Too bad, because with all that intellect, think what they could do with a few facts.

Report: Obama Administration Added $9.5 Billion in Red Tape in July

Conservatives take aim at job-killing regulations Many House and Senate conservatives are reviving their battle against federal regulations, claiming that the president hasn't stopped issuing job-killing rules during the debt ceiling fight. "While Washington and Americans have been focused on the debt ceiling, the Obama administration has continued to roll out more crushing red tape," said a spokesperson for Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, who's been championing the regulation fight. [More...]

Job-killing corporate jet tax

By Cheri Jacobus - 07/14/11 06:38 PM ET

Way back in 1990 when Democrats controlled Congress, they met behind closed doors to hammer out a budget with all kinds of politics strewn throughout the process and in their final plan. Eager to score political class-warfare points with their base, whose values they seriously misread, Democrats imposed a 10 percent “luxury” tax on recreational boats that cost more than $100,000. Their misguided attempt to kneecap the wealthy was a source of pride for them. After all, anyone who could afford a yacht costing more than $100,000 deserved to be punished — right?
