The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.
……
In his concluding remarks, Heartland President Joseph Bast observed that the audience, which had been quiet at the beginning of the opening dinner Sunday night, was now so loud it was difficult to bring to order. The willingness to speak out, it seemed, had grown in just the past day-and-a-half. Bast reported on the extensive press attention the conference had received, reporting interviews on CBS, ABC, BBC, CNN, PBS, Glenn Beck’s television program, Fox News, and a score of print publications including The New York Times, Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.
A steady stream of reporters and camera crews flowed through the registration and reception areas and utilized the three media suites set up for interviews. Media organizations represented at the day’s events included ABC, CBS, CNN, the BBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, among many others.
By the end of the day, more than a few speakers were hoarse from their repeated encounters with reporters, but all were delighted that they were getting their messages out. There is no question but that the media took note of this meeting–the largest gathering of global warming skeptics ever held.
The truth was simply too big to remain hidden: There is no consensus on global warming!

Top psychiatrist concludes liberals clinically nuts
Eminent psychiatrist makes case ideology is mental disorder

WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.
“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.” “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to “the vast right-wing conspiracy.”
For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by the two major candidates for the Democratic Party presidential nomination can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
* creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
* satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
* augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
* rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says. “When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”
Oldie…but Goody!!
GOD is Busy
If you don’t know GOD, don’t make stupid remarks!!!!!!! A United States
Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had
completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a
member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came
in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real,
then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15
minutes.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten
minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still
waiting.”
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his
chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off
the platform. The professor was out cold. The Mari ne went back to his
seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and
stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually
came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What the
heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?” The Marine calmly
replied, “God was too busy today protecting America’s brave troops, who are
protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He
sent me.”
