The global warming true believers in Copenhagen achieved today what was called a “meaningful” deal. However, while it arrogantly seeks to cap global temperature increases at 1.5%, we can only hope the sun, the oceans and the other elements that determine climate change on earth are in agreement, because no such agreement was reached with regard to the much-demonized human emissions.

Congressional Republicans are finally showing signs of a backbone and are calling for the reading of hundreds of pages of amendments to the 2,000+ page Senate health care bill. These amendments were drafted behind closed doors and few senators have even seen them, much less read them.

A poll by Harris Interactive of over 2,000 adults found that 59 percent of Americans are “absolutely certain” and 15 percent are “somewhat certain” that there is a God. Those over the age of 40, in the South, or who are female are most likely to be absolutely certain compared to 25- to 29-year-olds, those who live in the East and males.

Last night the Rapid City School Board moved closer to advancing the homosexual agenda in area schools with the proposed inclusion of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in the district’s nondiscrimination policy. But the move was met with intense and heated resistance from the community, and that resistance is certain to grow even larger at the upcoming second reading of the policy on Jan. 7.

Who is the worst person in the world? Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, has actually named me the “worst person in the world” for coming to the defense of political protesters who believed their First Amendment rights were being restricted.

More questions are emerging in the Climategate falsified research scandal, as the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA) now says that climate warming “scientists” at the Hadley Center for Climate Change may have deliberately falsified Russian climate data. Indeed, some 40 percent of Russia’s territory has been excluded from the UN International Panel on Climate Change global temperature record.

A new development in the ClimateGate scandal explodes as Russian meteorologists accuse the Hadley Center in England of cherry-picking temperature readings from Russia, leaving out most of the data and choosing only the hottest reading to make global temperatures appear hotter than they really are.

About two thirds of Americans celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, a new survey reveals. Meanwhile, 20 percent celebrate the event as a secular holiday, according to Rasmussen Reports.

Marxists always claim the modern environmentalist movement isn’t driven by Marxist ideology, yet the proof is in the pudding. Video footage of the many Marxist marchers in Copenhagen shows how riven the movement is, and how much they hate the free market.

I’m not a Navy man (former Air Force), but by golly I like this one that a friend sent me! It’s the best of American diplomacy.

South Dakota Dist. 30 Senator Gordon Howie will soon officially announce his candidacy for governor of South Dakota in 2010. Howie will soon step aside as president of Citizens for Liberty to make way for his exciting campaign for governor.

Environmentalists flying into Copenhagen to celebrate global disaster due to anthropogenic global warming will have to fight unusually cold weather and a blizzard as they talk about how hot the earth is getting. Don’t you just love it when that happens?

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll is also looking ugly for President Obama and his fellow socialists, er, Democrats. Obama’s disapproval is virtually tied with his approval rating, most Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy, and Congressional approval is at a low 22%.

In the wake of the firestorm created by the allegation that the White House is blackmailing Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) with the threat of putting Offutt Air Force Base on the base closure list if he doesn’t vote for the health care bill, 20 senators including Senator John Thune (R-SD) are calling for a probe into the matter.

A new study from Canada of adults who were homeschooled shows they are excelling more and are happier in their lives than the general population. This is good news for those thinking or performing homeschooling, but bad news for those who are dedicated to preserving the crumbling edifice of public education.

Monckton was in Berlin a week ago for the CFACT-EU Second International Climate Conference. You can watch his informative expose on the anthropogenic global warming hoax in this video.

There is a co-regency between ignorance and arrogance in congress because many of our leaders in Washington feel entitled to ignore the U.S. Constitution and just make up stuff they feel we the little people need to have forced on us. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is the latest senator to fail the question of constitutionality on government health care.

The latest Battleground Poll reveals the president’s approval rating is below 50%, most people disapprove of his performance, and disapproval of congress is at an all-time high. Meanwhile, the Tea Party movement and other average Americans are energized like never before to get our country back on the right track.

A comparison of temperature projections based on different temperature trends (some very recent, others going back more than 100 years) show that none come close to the temperature of the medieval warm period, and all fall far short of climate model predictions.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has invoked his right to require that a 767-page amendment to the Senate government health care bill be read aloud by the clerk. This seems more than fair, given that the Sanders Amendment would add 767 pages to a bill that is already over 2,000 pages long.

A London court of appeals ruled Tuesday against a Christian registrar who refused to conduct a same-sex civil union ceremony because it violated her religious beliefs. Ladele had worked for the council for nearly 16 years, but did not experience discrimination until after she refused to perform the gay civil union.

There is an update to the story yesterday about the boy who drew a picture of Christ on a cross as a Christmas theme, only to be sent home and told undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Now the school is claiming the boy wasn’t actually suspended and that the drawing in question wasn’t the one the boy drew in school.

The city council of Washington D.C. voted Tuesday in favor of counterfeit marriage, allowing same-sex couples in the District of Columbia to call their unions “marriage.”

It’s been a little over six months since my wife Carol passed away. Every occasion that Carol would have delighted in has become a little death for me now–Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s and Valentine’s Day–all those occasions she fussed over and planned for endlessly, for weeks on end.

Film maker Phelim McAleer again tries to get a straight answer out of Al Gore at the Copenhagen Climate Hysteria Confab, only to be thwarted by climate goons who keep the dirty unwashed like McAleer away from His Holiness Al Gore. They also ripped the wire out of McAleer’s microphone. Don’t mess with consensus, eh?
