Earth Day predictions of 1970. The reason you shouldn’t believe Earth Day predictions of 2009. Conservative News from IHateTheMedia.com: "Need proof?
Here are some of the hilarious, spectacularly wrong predictions made on the occasion of Earth Day 1970."
I'm thinking many of these same "experts" are around today.

Even abusive public employees can't get fired
Steven Greenhut: Even abusive public employees can't get fired Washington Examiner
"Some of the most stunning articles I've read in a long while were in the Los Angeles Times' 2009 investigative series, 'Failure gets a pass,' which documents the near impossibility of firing unionized public school teachers in the massive Los Angeles Unified School District -- even those teachers credibly accused of sexually molesting or harassing their students"
If we continue to allow this, it will continue to grow, their power will grow and the end of our republic will be near.
We can stop this if we start attending local governmental meetings...NOW!

Public-sector unions bankrupting America

"By 2013, the amount of retirement money promised to employees of these public entities will exceed cash on hand by more than a trillion dollars."

The New Fat Cats
The New Fat Cats The Weekly Standard
"John Edwards was right.
There are two Americas, just not his two (the rich and powerful versus everyone else).
The real divide today is, on one side, the 20 million people who work for state and local governments and the additional 3 million who’ve retired with fat pensions.
On the other, the rest of us, roughly 280 million Americans.
In short, there’s a gulf between the bureaucrats and the people"
We tighten our belts so they can buy new, bigger belts.
Are we so timid that we will continue to let the unions destroy our fiscal lives....and out country?

Bill to check city bankruptcies advances
Bill to check city bankruptcies advances - SignOnSanDiego.com
While San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders insists bankruptcy is not on the city’s agenda, his administration is nevertheless alarmed over a labor-mounted campaign to take away the right of municipalities to declare insolvency and cancel contracts with their public employee unions.
The Senate Local Government Committee on Monday approved legislation that would require cities to first secure permission from an obscure appointed state agency before they could file for bankruptcy.
This simply means that a democrat/union controlled "agency" would deny a city's obligation to declare bankruptcy when there was no other option..... unless there was the option of forcing taxpayers to pay more.
No need to change union pay/benefits/retirement just like any other bankruptcy,
This will doom any hope of our municipalities to survive the attack of the public service union onslaught.

"The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government's stimulus package and jobs bill had little to do with the rebound, according to a survey released Monday.
In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business Economics, the index that measures employment showed job growth for the first time in two years -- but a majority of respondents felt the fiscal stimulus had no impact."

"A RESEARCH paper from American academics is threatening to blow a hole in growing political support for carbon capture and storage as a weapon against global warming.
The paper from Houston University says that governments wanting to use carbon sequestration have overestimated its value and says it would take a reservoir the size of a small US state to hold the carbon dioxide produced by one power station."

"The Democratic National Committee this morning released this clip of the president rallying the troops, if rather coolly, for 2010. Obama's express goal: 'reconnecting' with the voters who voted for the first time in 2008, but who may not plan to vote in the lower-profile Congressional elections this year.
Obama speaks with unusual demographic frankness about his coalition in his appeal to 'young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again.'"

On Saturday, a former editorial page editor for the Wall Street Journal, George Melloan, made the connection even stronger as he pointed a finger at someone most in the media have shamelessly given a pass for his involvement in this crisis
To promote "affordable" housing, Bill Clinton had excused the two giant government-sponsored housing finance agencies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, from normal banking rules, allowing them leverage ratios far in excess of the limits on ordinary lenders.
Banks were forced to write risky mortgage loans, a large number of which were then folded into mortgage-backed securities that Fannie, Freddie and others sold internationally with triple-A ratings.
This business seized up, crippling banks throughout the world, when holders began to realize that the assets that backed the securities, home mortgages, were going under water at an alarming rate.

What's the deal with blasting fat cats for showing little accountability and costing taxpayers billions…
And saying not a word about politicians in Washington showing 'no' accountability and costing taxpayers trillions?
And what's the deal demanding banks return every rescue dollar and never get too big to fail...
Not once acknowledging all those blown and now lost government dollars on spending programs too many to count?"

The Greenwood school district responded this week to the lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana on behalf of Greenwood High School valedictorian Eric Workman.
Workman's suit calls the student-led prayer the senior class voted to approve unconstitutional."

George F. Will - Bringing Thunder-ous change to New Jersey
"So he closed the $2.2 billion gap by accepting 375 of 378 suggested spending freezes and cuts. In two weeks. By executive actions. In eight weeks he cut $13 billion -- $232 million a day, $9 million an hour. Now comes the hard part.
Government employees' health benefits are, he says, '41 percent more expensive' than those of the average Fortune 500 company. Without changes in current law, 'spending will have increased 322 percent in 20 years -- over 16 percent a year.' There is, he says, a connection between the state's being No. 1 in total tax burden and being No. 1 in the proportion of college students who, after graduating, leave the state.
Partly to pay for teachers' benefits -- most contribute nothing to pay for their health insurance -- property taxes have increased 70 percent in 10 years, to an average annual cost to homeowners of $7,281. Christie proposes a 2.5 percent cap on annual increases."
The next Reagan?

Tea Party is a ‘bowel movement,’ says ACORN boss Bertha Lewis The Daily Caller

.....The comments by Lewis came during a March 25 speech to the winter conference of the Young Democratic Socialists, which is the youth arm of the radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
DSA is closely tied to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, an 80-plus member group of left-wing Democratic lawmakers.
President Obama worked for ACORN’s Project Vote affiliate, trained ACORN organizers and represented ACORN as a lawyer.
Although ACORN leaders typically refuse to be labeled as socialists because they realize the term carries with it a negative connotation in American culture, Lewis openly embraced socialism.
“First of all let me just say any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is alright with me,” Lewis said."

Earth Day-The Great Global Warming Swindle
Earth Day is the main theme in our children's schools today.
And the theme has been morphed into a simple concept: American capitalism=bad, Big American control and caring=good.
We are continuing to sow the seeds of our own destruction.
Just about every American school student since has been forced fed "An Inconvenient Truth" in our public schools.
With a "caring" teacher/mentor to provide answers to any student's inconvenient questions.
And today's "Earth Day" continues the eco-madrassah madness.
If we don't get some real science back into the schools NOW, the world will pay an enormous price.
Start going to your local school board meetings now and demand some balance in the propaganda or the bad guys win ......again.
