Yeah.

JERUSALEM – A rare snowstorm swept the Middle East on Wednesday, blanketing parts of the Holy Land in white, shutting schools and sending excited children into the streets for snowball fights. ~news.yahoo.com

Global warming strikes again.

Men in long Arab robes pelted each other with snowballs in the Jordanian capital, Amman, and the West Bank city of Ramallah, seat of the Palestinian government, came to a standstill.

“I’m originally from Gaza where snow never falls,” said Bothaina Smairi, 28, who was out in Ramallah taking photographs. “The white snow is covering the old world and I feel like I am in a new world where everything is white, clean, and beautiful.”

Who would see a communist dictator as the saviour?

Joe Kennedy’s back, playing Santa Chavez with a new sleigh full of Venezuelan heating oil for “the poor.” The tropical dictator’s politicized “gift,” however, comes with strings. We see Joe dancing on them. ~ibdeditorials.com

The left and Chavez are on the same page. They are leftists.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged his Latin American allies on Saturday to begin withdrawing billions of dollars in international reserves from U.S. banks, warning of a looming U.S. economic crisis.

What? Capitalism is finally about to collapse!

Chavez warned that U.S. “imperialism is entering into a crisis that can affect all of us” and said Latin America “will save itself alone.”

The enemies of America.

Chavez said a new fund created by Venezuela and Iran to support projects in third countries would have links to the ALBA Bank.   ~news.yahoo.com

Government Help

For those of you who feel that for every problem there’s a government solution, this is the prototypical, “I’m from the government, I’m here to help you story…”

Holiday girls held in orphanage after mother fell ill
A mother whose two teenage daughters were placed in an orphanage when she fell ill during a post-Christmas shopping trip to New York has been told she is under investigation because her children were taken into care.   ~guardian.co.uk

Hillary, Obama, Edwards, et al, all think that the government can take better care of our children than we do. In fact we are all children in their eyes, aren’t we? Won’t it be great when we finally have universal healthcare and preschool?

The end game is tyranny

What is the end game of liberalism? Total control.

Liberalism has no limits. There are are no arenas of life that are off limits. No guiding principles to say that government cannot or should not do something. Nothing less than total control will do.

I am not surprised to read stories like the following:

California wants to control home thermostats

…Next year in California, state regulators are likely to have the emergency power to control individual thermostats, sending temperatures up or down through a radio-controlled device that will be required in new or substantially modified houses and buildings to manage electricity shortages. ~iht

I’m not surprised because this is what liberalism is all about. There is no part of life that does not belong to the state, therefore the state can and will control what it wants (this is the essence of liberalism).

Liberalism does not have boundaries in what it must control. Free speech? Won’t last long under liberalism: A case study in resistance

Your organs? No. The State’s organs.

Global Warming Will Save America from the Right…Eventually
by Dave Lindorff

The future political map of America is likely to look a lot different, with much of the so-called “red” state region either gone or depopulated.  ~baltimorechronicle.com

Student Arrested After Cutting Food With Knife…
Iran indicates it is building another nuclear plant

When we charge 10 year olds with felonies for using kitchen utensils but can’t seem to figure out what to do about maniacal Islamic regimes seeking nuclear weapons we are in trouble as a society.

Fear and control

The left likes to argue that the Bush administration has engaged in ‘scaremongering’ in order to rush into war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and soon Iran, but encouraging people to confront a threat rather than ignore it is not scaremongering; if it is a true threat.

The argument that a call to action amounts to fearmongering is

When a society seeks to enforce ‘zero tolerance’ over those who pose no threat and refuse to confront those who pose the ultimate threat that society is sowing the seeds of its own destruction.

If we as a society cannot bear to allow anyone to act outside of a narrow definition of ‘danger’ then we are doomed to strain at gnats and swallow camels.
