Danish Newspaper Touts Obama Greater Than Jesus

Talk about Idol worship: A Danish Newspaper has proclaim Obama Greater than Jesus. Why? Because the Democrats passed Health Care Reform. Politiken says:

For some time now, comparisons between the two have been a tool of cynical opinion that quickly became fatigued of the rapture that Obama instilled prior to and after the presidential election last year.

From the start, Obama’s critics have claimed that his supporters have idolised him as a saviour, thus attempting to dismantle the concrete hope that Obama has represented for most Americans.

If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama’s advantage.

Today, his historic Health Reform is being passed through the American Senate – a welfare policy breakthrough that several of his predecessors have been unable to manage.

Despite all the compromises, it has finally been possible to ensure something so fundamental, as the right of every American not to be financially shipwrecked when their health fails them. Add to that the biggest ever financial support package in America’s history, a major disarmament agreement and the quickest-ever re-establishment of American reputation.

On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefited a few. At the same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an unequivocal result of his work.

Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game. But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today’s domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years.

Un-freaking-believable no wonder Christianity is dying in Europe. And to     think  millions of changed  lives through the ages don’t mean a thing, Sheeesh.

Pope Benendict Attacked at Mass

Pope Benedict XVI was attack and knocked down as he walked to the main Altar at St. Peter’s Basilica to give Christmas Eve mass Thursday.

The 82-year-old Pontiff got on his feet quickly and resumed the processional to the altar. He was unhurt said a Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Ciro Benedettini. The incident caught on videotape  by Italy’s RAI state TV. The Image caught a woman dressed in a  red jumper climbing over the wooden barricades lunge at the Pope. Then the Pope’s bodyguards in turn caught the woman.

Police  say the woman was mentally ill.

The attack on the pope also knock down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, a member of the Pope’s processional.  Cardinal Etchgaray taken to  Hospital in Rome for a   check up.

“During the procession an unstable person jumped a barrier and knocked down the Holy Father,” Benedettini told The Associated Press by telephone. “(The pope) quickly got up and continued the procession.”

The Pope went on to the Altar  and sit on the throne  as a choir sang the  pontiff sprinkle holy water on the altar then open the service with a peace        greeting in Latin: “Pax vobis” (“Peace be with you”). The faithful responded: “Et cum spiritu tuo” (“And also with you”).

The Pope did not mention the incident in his homily.

This was the second time in a year that security was breached. Last Year a woman jumped the blockade but the pope guards stopped the intruder.

Merry Christmas to ALL

Luke 1:30-38

³⁰The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God 31And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. ³²He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. ³³He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ ³⁴Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’^{* 35}The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born^* will be holy; he will be called Son of God. ³⁶And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. ³⁷For nothing will be impossible with God.’ ³⁸Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.

Luke 2:1-7

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. ²This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. ³All went to their own towns to be registered. ⁴Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. ⁵He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. ⁶While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. ⁷And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Luke 2:8-20

In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. ⁹Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: ¹¹to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah,^* the Lord. ¹²This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ ¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,^* praising God and saying,
¹⁴‘Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’^* 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.’ ¹⁶So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. ¹⁷When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; ¹⁸and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. ¹⁹But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. ²⁰The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

I like to wish everyone a  very Merry Christmas. I thank you taking time reading this blog. And being informed on the issues of the day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS!!! From Smart and Silly blog.

President Obama Has An “Agreement on Climate Change”

President Obama announce an agreement on  Climate  Change. The President says  we have an “unprecedented breakthrough” on Friday to reduce greenhouse gases including,  India, Brazil, and South Africa.

Each  nation in  this accord must list actions they will take to  greenhouse  gas emissions by specific amounts a White House official said. In addition, the  eight major developed nations must aid less developed counties to fight the effects of climate change.

There is one major obstacle The People’s Republic of China. President Obama met with Premier Wen Jiabao of China to discuss the terms of agreement. However  Premier Wen  sees it differently. China will not allow   outside inspector to monitor greenhouse gas reduction.

Copenhagen Summit Round Up:$100 Billion to Fight Climate Change

US vow $100 billion to fight climate change announce by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Copenhagen on Thursday.  The $100 billion will help developing nations dealing with pollution.

“The US is prepared to work with other countries toward a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 to address the climate change needs of developing countries,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said.

Conditions include: Chinese pollution check by an independent authority and 193 nations must sign an accord which will not force the US and other wealthy nations to cut  emissions like the developing nations wanted.

In other news, The climate change summit remains in disarray  as poorer nations delay the talks. The poorer nations believe richer nations like the US imposing rules on developing nations while developed nations won’t cut greenhouse emissions that impact these countries.

Outside, Danish police clashed with protesters who were demanding “environmental justice” to fight and end global warming.

Meanwhile Copenhagen is bombarded with blizzards and frigid arctic    temperatures. Copenhagen  receive 4 inches of snow on Thursday.

“Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”

Denmark winters are typically milder than the other Scandinavian    countries due to its maritime climate.

Researcher Suing NASA over Climate Change Data

As Climate Gates explodes a conservative researcher with the Competitive Enterprise Institute is suing NASA over its climate change data.

Chris Horner a senior fellow with the competitive Enterprise Institute says NASA have refused to offer climate facts to him  and other Climate Change skeptics via the Freedom of Information Act. By keeping  the data private NASA shaping climate information and would be  forced to explain why their data continually corrected going back to as far as the 1930’s.

“I assume that what is there is highly damaging,” Mr. Horner said. “These guys are quite clearly bound and determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this.”

In 2007 NASA recalculated its data and found that 1934 not 1998 was the hottest year on record(modern history). Later NASA recalculated again and was right 1998 but also found that 2006 tied as hottest years.

Horner the author of  “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism” wants to review the data and the discussions that went into these changes.   He’s given NASA until the end of the year or he’ll sue.

This is an same fight that took place at Climate Research Unit, at  University of East Anglia, Norwich,UK. Critics have sue to revealed via the UK’s Freedom of Information Laws. However, a hacker broke into  the computer system at UEA illegally obtain thousand of e-mails admitting to changing the facts to make it fit to their conclusions and  denounce critics.

Prof. Phil Jones,  Director of the Climate Research Unit has stepped down during the investigation.

The CRU also announce in responding to freedom of information law that threw away all data from the temperature models when moved to a new and larger facility in the late 1980’s.

Horner believes that NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) was cutting playing fast and  loose with their data. GISS is another global warming research facility.

A  spokesman for Goddard Institute for Space Studies could not account for the delay in providing the competitive enterprise institute is data But they are  working on the request.

“We’re collecting the information and will respond with all the responsive relevant information to all of his requests,” Mr. Hess said. “It’s just a process you have to go through where you have to collect data that’s responsive.”

Mark Hess, public affairs director for the Goddard Space Flight Center was unaware to the situation at the University of East Anglia. Hess could not say if NASA is susceptible to the problems Climate Research Institute is experiencing.

The White House  has dismissed the e-mail controversy as irrelevant.

“Several thousand scientists have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening. I don’t think that’s anything that is, quite frankly, among most people, in dispute anymore,” press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters this week.

Republicans in Congress are demanding investigation into the e-mail controversy. They also sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, Wednesday to hold off implementing new regulations until the science of climate change be proven. However some scientists are rallying behind the researchers at Climate Research Unit.

Prof. Michael Mann a global warming scientist at Pennsylvania State University,  who is the US leading expert and himself in the center of  e-mail controversy. Mann says the e-mail leak  set up to put the breaks on the Copenhagen accords.

“They’ve taken scientists’ words and phrases and quoted them out of context, completely misrepresenting what they were saying,” Mr. Mann told AccuWeather.com in an interview, calling it a “manufactured controversy.”

GISS originally listed the hottest years as 1998, 1934, 2006, 1921 and 1931. However, Canadian  skeptic Steve McIntyre, who runs ClimateAudit.com. McIntyre questioned the data

GISS rejiggered the list and 1934 was warmest, followed by 1998, 1921, 2006 and then 1931. But since then, the list has been rewritten again so it now runs 1998, 2006, 1934, 1921, 1999.

GISS said it was “minor data processing error” and the top three years remained the same.

Obama Scientists Standby Climategate Research

Hellbent politicians including The Obama Administration Science Advisor Dr. John Holdren formerly of Harvard University and  Jane Lubchenco a marine biologist and the head of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are standing by the research by the Climate Research Unit at University of East Anglia in Norwich, England,UK   and Prof. Micheal Mann  of   Pennsylvania  State University.

The two of several scientists testified in House sub-committee on Wednesday. House Republicans led by James Sensenbrenner  Republican leader of the House sub-committee on Global Warming set  the  stage attacked the issue of global warming  by bringing up the hacked e-mails one e-mail was  written by John Holdren in 2003.

Sensenbrenner charges deceit by climate change scientists “These e-mails show a pattern of suppression, manipulation and secrecy that was inspired by ideology, condescension and profit,” said U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.

Holdren defended the scientific research says that the science is proper and the letters is a small fraction of research on the issue.

The e-mails do nothing to undermine the very strong scientific consensus … that tells us the earth is warming, that warming is largely a result of human activity,” said scientist  Lubchenco.

Lubchencho says the e-mails do not include e-mails from NOAA and NASA which are independent of the  data records of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit at the heart of the scandal.

Lubachenco performed a couple of  scientific experiment to prove her point. In the first experiment she added liquid  carbon dioxide to water to  show the water became acidic to show carbon dioxide is polluting waters . She followed up  with the second experiment by adding chalk to acidic water the water dissolved a little bit that this will happen to all sea life.

Congressman Sensenbrenner read another e-mail from Prof Jones  about “trick of adding in the real temps” involving long range global warming temperatures. Holdren said trick did not mean manipulate but a “clever way” to tackle a problem. Another e-mail Jones said he wished climate change happening so the science was proved right.

US Representative Jay Inslee,(D-WA) defended the scientists by saying the e-mail aren’t stopping Arctic from melting, glaciers from melting and the oceans  from getting acidic. Inslee asked sarcastically if Holdren and Lubchenco if they were part of a conspiracy.

Sensenbrenner chastised Holdren of mocking scientists critical of  climate change.
