As you may know, the control addicts in Washington, D.C. are seeking to take away much more of our money and many more of our freedoms in the name of trying to prevent global warming. Politicians have triangled in climate control between your money and freedoms and them. Children, "assault weapons," and public safety are also things they triangle in between your money and freedom and them to take away more of your money and freedom.
You may also know that I am plodding through Christopher Horner's "The Politically Incorrect Guide To Global Warming and Enviromentalism. The book is very interesting, but I am plodding because I am taking notes. Horner discusses the iconic graph of the global warmers, the "hockey stick" graph of temperatures for the last 1,000 years. The graph is called a hockey stick because there is a long stretch on the graph of low temperatures ( the hockey stick), and then at about 1960 there is a pronounced spike as temperatures got much warmer (the blade of the hockey stick).
This graph was developed by Michael Mann at the University of Virginia. However, according to Christopher Horner, Professor Mann lied. He lied by omission. Big time. On his graph, he left out the Medieval Warm Period which Horner writes is a well-documented phenomenon. In the Medieval Warm Period temperatures were higher than they are now (page 120-131).
Professor Michael Mann also lied by omitting the Little Ice Age, which occured from about 1200 A.D. to the end of the nineteenth century (page 62). There is proof that Professor Mann knew about these two weather events because they are included in his research data. But he left them out of the hockey stick graph. Why? I don't know, but it is possibly because he wanted to go along with the global warming mob so that he could advance his career. Maybe he wanted to be politically correct for the people-eaters, you know, the politicians who want your money and freedoms. That gives them an adrenaline rush and satisfies their addiction, for a while. Then they'll be back for more of your money and freedoms.

Introduction Of New Book, "Tyranny By Police"
This is the introduction of "Tyranny By Police: A True Story About How Cops In Florida Ganged Up On One Honest, Brave Man"
I dedicate this book to my mother, Katherine Rearden Nickerson, to Eric Reissmann, Chief Codes Enforcement Officer, and to Lloyd Vipperman, Attorney
"You never know what people are going to do today. That's why I keep my head bowed." - Author's mother, Katherine Rearden Nickerson
"We like what you're doing here, Pete - giving abandoned dogs a home." - Eric Reissman, Chief Codes Enforcement Officer, Alachua County, Florida
"I'm not doing it for the money. I'm doing because what happened to you should not have happened." - Lloyd Vipperman, attorney, Gainesville,Florida
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In the early spring of 2004, I drove the ten year-old Ford F-150 slowly down the dirt lane, past the Starlings' blue trailer, noting again how they had taken down their sign, proclaiming "The Starlings' Plantation." Sherri's son by another man, a biker, had joined a lethal gang that brought drugs from the port of Miami into North-Central Florida where the professionals and students at the University of Florida and Shands Teaching Hospital provided an eager market. To Erin's infinite courage and new-found integrity, he had decided to quit the gang, knowing it could be his death sentence. To keep him alive, his mother and step-father had arranged for him to disappear. My wife Lee Ann and I were not happy though when Lee found out that our son Jon had been spending a great deal of time with Eric, and his parents didn't have the decency to tell us that Eric was a gang member. Plus Lee found out that the Starlings allowed Jon to smoke marijuana in their trailer without telling us again. I passed the empty sign post and rolled the truck down into the bottom where we lived.

#142 Global Warming For Conservatives
I am using my 4x6 index cards with information taken from "The Politically Incorret Guide To Global Warming And Enviromentalism" by Christopher Horner:
On graphs and in other places, there is a striking correlation between heat emitted by the sun (solar activity) and the measurered temperatures in the Arctic.This work was done by Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon.
Dear Reader, note the correlation with temperatures in the Arctic wasn't with carbon dioxide emissions - a greenhouse gas (GHG)- but with solar activity, meaning the hotter the sun because of sunspots, the warmer the Arctic. Push that one down the pipe of your liberal "friends."
Here's another one: "10% of the Arctic is free of ice in a typical summer. This is not caused by global warming."
Now I have some rebuttals to Al Gore's "A Convenient Lie (For Fascists):"
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) does not, repeat, does not forecast 18 to 20 feet sea-level changes as Al Gore predicts in his book-length lie. The panel predicts a possible increase of 4 inches to less than 4 feet over the century. (page 232)
Maybe you too have always wanted to hunt under the snows of Kiliminjaro and were alarmed to hear that the snow is melting due to global warming. This is another Gore lie for, first, the snow is not snow but ice. Climate scientist, Robert Balling has pointed out that Gore ignored two major journal articles that showed that the ice on Kilimajaro was receding due to a decrease in precipitation beginning at the end of the 19th Century (when there were no man-made emissions). The lessening of the ice was not due to global warming, but to a regional change of less rain. The man who claims he invented the Internet, also didn't tell us that the sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age at a rate of 1.8 mm a year for the past 8,000 years and will continue to do so until the next ice age.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The hosts of the Happy Hour on Sky 97.3 radio here in Florida, Chip Morris and Mr. PC,
had some interesting news about the lying, gun-grabbing liberals. It seems that they are beginnng to say that American gun stores are supplying the drug gangs in Mexico with rocket launchers and grenades. This should be an affront to your intelligence because anyone with half a brain knows that gun stores cannot legally get or sell rocket launchers and grenades. But such stupidity might play with the Obama zombies who, let me point out, outnumber us. It will certainly play with the Obama communists who are looking for any exxcuse to disarm Americans and thus take away one more freedom. Rocket launchers and grenades are military items. If the drug cartels in Mexico are indeed getting them from America, they are getting them from one of two sources: Either from the back door of military installations and armories or from the back door of the manufacturers of these military armaments. Actually, there is another possiblity: the drug cartels are getting them when they are being stolen on the road. This is a heads-up. Be aware that the freedom-haters are exploring this lie to take away another of your freedoms - the ability to shop at gun stores- and pour loud, rude ridicule on their dirty heads at any chance you get. Remember, we conservatives have everything on our side but courage, and it's time to get some of that too!
The crazy liberals ( I'm being redundant) and the sane people in Gainesville are voting today on whether it will be legal to allow men to go into women's public bathrooms. Can you imagine that such insanity has actually come to a vote? The lying liberals say that men who feel they are women should be allowed to use the women's bathrooms while the sane people recognize that perverts and over-sexed men will use that as an excuse to go into women's bathrooms and ogle women and girls as well as to take pictures and videos of them as they slip their clothing off and then on. The liberals are nothing, and we conservatives have everything on our side but courage, and it's high time we got some of that too! Remember you God loving and fearing Christians, Jesus was no chump. Jesus was no loser. He manipulated his crucifixion so that he could be the blood sacrifice for Man's sins. He played the Jews and the Romans like a violin. Jesus was no loser. Don't you be either. Fight like Jesus for what you know is right.

Conservatives Only, continued
What do I mean by saying that Obama is a communist? Communism was conceived by Karl Marx, and Marx's formula for communism was simply "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need." Communistic governments use this formula by force which is exactly what Obama is doing. Remember his "spread the wealtlh" comment? He did not mean for that to be done voluntarily by individuals who wanted to do so, he meant, as we have seen subsequently, for the government - fat cat Demonrat politicians and their brown-shirted bureaucracy - to force by law, and then the gun and jail, if necessary, individuals to give up their money through taxes. If you believe in this practice, then you are a communist. Obama obviously believes in it, and you should call him a communist.
Author and former Clinton advisor, Dick Morris was right: If McCain had spoken against federal bailouts and asked the federal government to investigate whether there was any criminal activity in the fall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, thereby threatening the country with an economic collapse, the people of America would have hailed him as a hero and elected him president instead of Obama. Instead of oppossing the bailout as the Republican congressmen did, McCain discontinued his presidential campaign and threw himself into the process in Washington, D.C., a place most Americans see as corrupt and self-serving. McCain did not see the national principle held by the overwhelming majority of Americans. The principle was that their money should not be used to bail out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or any other company. At his peril, McCain ignored a national mandate and was lumped with the Republican administration and flushed with hopes of getting something better with Obama, the communist wolf in sheep skins.
Obama has been elected and now has triangled America's hatred toward the trillions of dollars of debt and inflation that comes with printing worthless dollar bills that have gone into one bailout after another by pointing the finger at some 60 investors at AIG who will get million dollar bonuses from bailout money. Finally, Americans have someone to vent their anger at even if it is unjust to these 60 investors. The howling mobs, both mindless Obamites and angry Republicans, want to lynch these hapless 60 investors who are only getting what their lawful contracts said they would get. McCain though never had the strength to point the finger. I believe he was duty-bound by love of country to point the finger at candidate Obama during any one of the presidential debates and say, "Mr. Obama, because of your American and white hating friends and your terrorist-bombers who bombed right here in America, you couldn't get a security clearance as a federal employee and should not be made President of the United States!" But McCain had been broken by the communists and therefore standing up to one was apparently out of the question. How does our great nation recover from this? Only from the grassroots. The politicians, by and large, are too addicted to the power, money, prestige, and sex to risk anything by being leaders. They want to be re-elected to their addictions. We must do if by discovering and supporting the rare, strong, moral, freedom-loving leaders we can find. And we must be the ones to point the finger at wrong-doings in our everyday life and have the guts to say, "That's wrong. You should be doing ------!"
Don't just tell people what is wrong; also tell them what is the right thing to do.
We need to do this over and over again. Repetition, courage, and character are everything. Conservatives have everything on their side except courage. Let's find it, men, women, and young people!

#140 For Conservatives Only
Doesn't it just eat away at you that John McCain wasn't strong enough as a presidential candidate to oppose the bailouts and call for an investigation into why our government allowed worthless home mortgages to be made and why their worthless derivatives became the foundation of our economy? I have great respect for John McCain refusing to leave the hell-hole he was in before those who had been there longer left that hell-hole. "Hell-hole" best describes the prisons American soldiers and pilots were kept in by the communist. "Hell-hole" best describes anything made by communists. Refusing to leave prison was extremely heroic and is probably something a person can do only once in a lifetime. It simply takes too much out of you. Also remember that the communists didn't allow him to get away with his act of great bravery unscathed because they broke him - as they can break anyone - and made him apologize for America's "criminal" actions against Vietnam.
We expected too much when about thirty years later, we mominated him to run against the most powerful communist in America - Barrack Obama. It was stupid of us, of me, to think that a man broken by communists in Vietnam could prevail, thirty years later when he was a tired, old man, against the best communist the fat cat Demonrats could put up. What do I mean saying that Obama is a communist? Communism was conceived by Karl Marx. The formula for communism is, as Marx wrote it, "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." To Be Continued.

#139 Jay Leno and Rush Limbaugh
I have been sick for almost a week and didn't want to use the library when I am.Today, Rush Limbaugh discussed Jay Leno's putting on a free show for people unemployedd or having hard times. Leno released free tickets. Subsequently, he found out that people were selling their tickets on Ebay. He has asked Ebay not to sell them and was angry that it was being done. Rush asked why Leno did that because people who sold their tickets could use the money for food, rent, gas, the heating bill, etc. Plus, people who liked Leno enough to pay $200 could get a chance to see him live. Rush urged that the free market would prevail ; everyone would be happy.
Rush is right, but let's look at what happens when you have a controlled economy -an Obama economy. Obama has taken over the banks. What's next - the automobile industry? In an Obama economy, you don't have the choice to sell your tickets on Ebay for Obama knows what is good for you. You go see Jay Leno like a good child. Forget the fact that you need money you could have gotten from your tickets for food or anything. Forget it! Obama has spoken. You have to see Leno and you'd better laugh too. Now you have become a loser which is exactly what Obama wants to make you. Why? Because that makes his power - the power of government- greater. Losers are dependent, and dependent people turn to the government. You lose; Obama wins.
Why do Obama and the Demonrat Liberals want to control you through laws, executive order, and bullying? Because control over people gives Obama and the Demonrat Liberals an adrenaline rush. It gives them a high. Control is a drug, and Obama and the Liberals are control addicts. Your money, your freedoms, and finally your life are their fixes, and they will take them all. The only way out is for you to speak loudly and often about the growing tyranny of Obama and to support conservative leaders by contributions and encouraging communication. Even if you can only contribute $5, do it and do it every month. It adds up to a respectable contribution. Then go to meeting and dinners that he attends and go up to him, introduce yourself, and give him encouragement and advice.

#138 Panther Tales
MISTAKE! MISTAKE! In yesterday's posting, I said that the polar bear expert was Dr. Mitchell Tower. It should have been Dr. Mitchell Taylor. Mea culpa.
Now let's continue Ray Richard's stories about the Osceola Forest in Baker County, Florida. This is the county that used to have the best tasting moonshine in the USA, and maybe it still does. Here's Ray: "When I got older, I started leaving the house until two or three in the morning. When I would come back to the property, I would hear panthers screaming along the creek behind my uncle's house. Dad would say he heard them too. They screamed just like a woman screaming.
When the Game Commission put the panthers in here (in the 1990s), they created a danger. The cats had been fed by humans, and they weren't afraid of men as a result. I saw one lying in the road and inched my truck to within five feet of him. He just looked at me, not moving. Only the tip of his tail kept throbbing.
My hunting buddy went into the woods during archery season. He had a chiropractor's appointment at 9. One of the imported panthers ccame by as there was a feeder. Panthers learn to hang around feeders to see what's coming in to feed. The panther walked around the tree in a circle, trying to pick up my buddy's scent and then lay down by the tree. My buddy had to get to the doctor's and waited for the cat to move on. Finally, he spoke to the panther, and the cat looked up at him, growled, and stayed where he was. Desperate, my buddy shot an arrow next to the big cat, hoping to scare him off. The cat looked at the arrow sticking in the ground next to him, batted it down, and peered up at my buddy and growled another warning. My buddy had to stay in the tree until 10 in the morning before the panther got up and walked away. Then the big cat walked up the trail my buddy had walked down to the treestand on. So he slowly inched out of the woods with his bow partly-drawn constantly looking around him for a charging panther. He finally got back to his truck safely."
I gave my name and phone number to Ray in case he got any news about a Bigfoot. Ray is one man I bet I can count on calling me. Peter "Two-Guns" Nickerson, MS, MSW at peternickerson12@yahoo.com.
