OBAMA GIVES POLAR BEARS 187,000 SQUARE MILES OF ALASKA

The Obama administration is at it again, setting aside 187,000 square miles in Alaska for the polar bears and calling it 'critical habitat.' The consequences of this action will actually serve to harm human beings as it will put even more restrictions on offshore drilling. Think about this one. Land that is full of vast resources belonging to America is being given to polar bears in the name of protecting them from becoming endangered.

Via Los Angeles Times:

The Obama administration is setting aside 187,000 square miles in Alaska as a "critical habitat" for polar bears, an action that could restrict future offshore drilling for oil and gas. The total, which includes large areas of sea ice off the Alaska coast, is about 13,000 square miles, or 8.3 million acres, less than in a preliminary plan released last year.

Tom Strickland, assistant secretary for fish, wildlife and parks at the Interior Department, said the designation would help polar bears stave off extinction, recognizing that the greatest threat is the melting of Arctic sea ice caused by climate change.

"This critical habitat designation enables us to work with federal partners to ensure their actions within its boundaries do not harm polar bear populations," Strickland said. "We will continue to work toward comprehensive strategies for the long-term survival of this iconic species."

There is a significant problem with the premise, however. The polar bear population has been dramatically increasing. The UK Telegraph reported back in 2009 in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit that a report by a polar bear expert was suppressed because it didn't fit the agenda:

….one of the world's leading experts on polar bears has been told to stay away from this week's meeting, specifically because his views on global warming do not accord with those of the rest of the group.

Dr Mitchell Taylor has been researching the status and management of polar bears in Canada and around the Arctic Circle for 30 years, as both an academic and a government employee. More than once since 2006 he has made headlines by insisting that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, are much higher than they were 30 years ago. Of the 19 different bear populations, almost all are increasing or at optimum levels, only two have for local reasons modestly declined.

The revelations uncovered thanks to Climategate have not stopped Obama. Despite the evidence now being irrefutable that the entire Climate Change movement is about wealth re-distribution, not science; this guy continues to plow ahead with an agenda that is purely evil.

Time to get back to Scripture with Genesis 1: 26-28:

26God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.(A)

27So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.(B)

28And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.

Here's a video of Marc Morano appearing of Fox News Channel, where he discussed a recent statement by a U.N. official that the Climate Change agenda is about wealth re-distribution.

EARTHQUAKE IN ALASKA: LIBERAL MEDIA BUSTED

The journolist culture lives. After hanging up the phone with Tea Party favorite in Alaska, Joe Miller, members of the CBS affiliate in Anchorage - KTVA - failed to hang up the phone after leaving a message for Miller's spokesman, Randy DeSoto. While it's reminiscent of what happened in California when Jerry Brown failed to hang up after leaving a message for the Los Angeles Police Protective League, this one could be far more damaging.

After Brown thought he hung up, an associate could be heard calling his opponent, Meg Whitman a 'whore.' After the staffers at KTVA thought they hung up, they can be heard plotting to find child molesters in the audience of a Joe Miller event. It is definitely the same culture that we saw when the Journolist scandal broke a few months ago in which it was revealed that multiple supposed journalists conspired to put Obama in the White House.

This is an utter disgrace. Floyd Reports has more.

After listening to that, would you expect that KTVA would possibly attempt to spin or deny what you just heard? If you said, 'no' you'd be wrong. POLITICO posted KTVA's statement, which called the claims that its staff said the things you just heard, 'Absurd.'

Why Palin is Leaving - Think Huckabee

In the age of Obama, image is everything. It's how he got elected. It's how he governs.

Mike Huckabee gets that.

He is building a weekly audience by letting people in to see his agenda in a way that doesn't carry the contrivances of a campaign stop on the back of a caboose. He gets to set the tone. He gets to ask the questions. He gets to showcase his bass playing abilities on a weekly basis (Bill Clinton made just one cameo on Arsenio). He gets to portray himself the way he wants himself to be portrayed. He's on offense with his own show and that show is a significant arrow in his 2012 presidential campaign quiver.

The former Arkansas governor is not doing a weekly show because he wants to be a celebrity. He's doing it because he wants to be a frontrunner.

It's a new age and to reach voters, you have to be in their face while being on your terms. Huckabee seems to have figured that out. He was the Republican runner-up for president in 2008 so why hasn't the liberal media been attacking him instead of Sarah Palin?

Yes, it's true that she has a greater knack for galvanizing the base but one thing she doesn't have that Huckabee now does is the ability to fight back with an offensive weapon - her own show on the #1 cable news channel. She's stuck on a non-contiguous one-state stage while being forced into a national arena with a carnivorous leftwing media.

If ever there was a presidency that came about and whose engine continues to move forward with television imagery as its best friend, the Barack Obama presidency is it. He's on television every day and has learned how to leverage that imagery (despite the teleprompter) to his advantage.

Assuming Palin is neither wilting under the pressure of unceasing attacks nor pre-emptively attempting to stave off the revelation of some scandal, wouldn't it make sense for her to take the Huckabee route?

Every time Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, or Charlie Gibson, etc. want to talk to her, odds are good it'll be a forum in which she will have to defend herself from comments made by the likes of David Letterman. The invitation comes with ulterior motives like ratings. Being on the defensive is no way to increase your appeal. Putting others on defense is definitely more preferable (anyone think Couric would agree to show up on the Sarah Palin show as a guest?).

Sarah Palin has proven herself as a governor. It doesn't matter what state it is. She's also proven herself as someone who can galvanize the conservative base while standing up to the national pressure of a vice presidential debate. Maybe it's time for her to set the terms of the debates she's being dragged into against her will.

If Palin hasn't tired of the exposure and is conversely motivated and fueled by the attacks, maybe it's time for her to showcase her abilities. She was a newscaster and a journalism major. She understands the power of the television medium. She's done well with it. She's attractive and strong. When in front of the camera, she knows how to play the base like Mike Huckabee knows how to play the bass.

The age of Obama has shown that visual imagery is extremely powerful and being on offense while using it is far more desirable than constantly having to defend your honor with it.
