Greens Reinstate Ban on DDT
The Wall Street Journal published this story today:
In 2006, after 25 years and 50 million preventable deaths, the World Health Organization reversed course and endorsed widespread use of the insecticide DDT to combat malaria. So much for that. Earlier this month, the U.N. agency quietly reverted to promoting less effective methods for attacking the disease. [...]
Obama’s New Socialist Auto Policies
The headline reads, Obama’s new rules will transform US auto fleet. One question–what US auto fleet? There is no US auto fleet, unless all vehicles in the US are owned by the government. With these new developments, that may not be far off.
The Obama Administration imposed new rules for the automotive industry today, set to [...]

Russian President Calls Obama “Comrade”
“Birds of a feather flock together,” as the old saying goes.
Or more appropriately in this case, “It takes one to know one.”
More Eco-stupidity

Socialism Creates Yet Another Dictator
Venezuela announced the death of Republican government there today, with the victory of Hugo Chavez’s campaign to overturn presidential term-limits.

An election for another term [...]
The Repugnance of Socialism
This is a great post…
Some of his best points include:
“One must never mistake repugnance for fear. The first is based upon reason, the latter upon emotion.”
Hear, hear! Fear is not a reliable motivator. Reason usually is.
“No free man or woman will tolerate the loss of liberty in exchange for material comfort.”
This is what Benjamin Franklin [...]
Idiots from the Planet Stupid
Here’s a fine example of why Barak Obama must be defeated in November. With morons like this guy supporting his positions, we’ll all soon be enjoying the fruits of American Liberalism–we’ll all be dirt poor, our standard of living will fall through the floor, we will see the rise of a new European lifestyle in [...]
Betrayal: How the Left Abuses the People It Pretends to Help
(Updated) I have long held, and often said, that Leftists are abusive, violent people underneath their compassionate veneers. Their history betrays them. Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, all leftists, and all murderers.
In our society, we don’t see them murdering others. Instead we see a different kind of violence–a psychological rather than physical violence. Thomas [...]
