Mark Hoofnagle is an expert on Global Warming Denial.
Mr. Hoofnagle admits that he knows almost nothing about climate science but is positive in his belief that the entire planet soon will melt unless it can be saved by giving massive amounts of tax money to wise, honest politicians, like those unable to ever balance a budget, or even touch anything without screwing it up. Further, anyone who disagrees with him is about as evil as a nazi Holocaust Denier.
Adding insult to injury, if it offends you to be smeared as someone who apologizes for the most infamous mass murder in world history, well that means you have a "persecution complex" which confirms that you are indeed a "Denier". Yet he is not 'really-really' comparing you to a nazi, just the way you reject his unproven theory ... which has absolutely nothing to do with history's most well-documented event. Strip away his weasel words, and he is saying that disagreeing with him on a subject about which he knows little, is tantamount to being a nazi. Science.
According to Mr. Hoofnagle, there are five ways to identify a "Denier":
1) Conspiracy theories. For example, anyone who questions his theory of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (CAGW) obviously must be a mere puppet of greedy Big Oil or the evil Koch Brothers.
2) Selectivity (Cherry Picking). For example, Michael Mann used cherry picking of certain tree ring data to hide the decline and produce his widely-discredited Hockey Stick Graph.
3) Fake Experts. For example Al Gore...well nuff said. Then there's the father of CAGW, James Hansen who poses as a scientist, but who is actually an activist who chained himself to the White House fence to protest the Keystone Pipeline. Then there are the stars of ClimateGate, "scientists" Michael Mann and Phil Jones. And don't forget the "climate scientist" with a Berkeley PhD in Energy, Peter Gleick who published forged memos to smear the Heartland Institute after refusing their invitation to a public debate.
4) Impossible expectations (and moving goalposts). Here Mr. Hoofnagle is outraged that anyone would expect the climate models to be remotely accurate. They're not. None of them predicted that Global Warming would be flat for 16+ years. Temperatures have even fallen below James Hansen's ideal scenario 'C', in which all increases in man-made CO2 stop completely along with any human activity.
5) Logical Fallacies. For example any attempt, to present Global Temperature Deniers with data and analysis, will be met with a logical fallacy such as an ad hominem attack like "Denier" or "Corporate Shill" or an appeal to the authority of the supposed omniscient scientific consensus ... like those frauds and their "peer-reviewed" corruption of science exposed in ClimateGate.
Of course in real science, common in other disciplines, dissent is the very foundation of what is called the "scientific method" and is lauded.
Mr. Hoofnagle also favors complete censorship. He urges his disciples to avoid trying to debate a "denier", because it is just futile, and probably because he realizes they will just lose...again. Therefore, any dissent on his blog is forbidden. To allow any heretical opinions opposing the "consensus" would be "anti-science", no doubt.
So ironically, it would appear from these definitions that Mark Hoofnagle himself, meets the definition of being a Global Temperature Denier. Congratulations Mr. Hoofnagle. Your attempt at logic may be embarrassing, but at least you have a last name that you can pronounce proudly, and you will forever be the darling of the insatiable ruling class.
(I am confident that this characterization will not offend you, because otherwise you would be exhibiting a persecution complex.)

GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM vs SCIENCE
The key to understanding the climate change debate is the sensitivity factor. Virtually all the climate models use a huge sensitivity-- a three-fold (3x) positive feedback multiplier. Without this factor, the level of atmospheric CO2 could DOUBLE harmlessly--only raising temperature about 1.1 degree Celsius. This is not controversial; it has been common knowledge for decades.
Again, the CAGW (Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming) prediction is only valid if the climate has a huge sensitivity factor to amplify the additional man-made CO2. No big feedback -- no catastrophe.
However if you chart CO2 and temperature together, it is easy to see there is absolutely no positive feedback. This is why you will never see these two graphed together ... until now:
Global Temperatures vs CO2 since 1960 show no positive feedback, hence no looming AGW catastrophe.
In fact, what you see is a negative feedback which causes temperature to rise much more slowly than CO2. This is because clouds that form from the additional warming, do not multiply the warming; the heat that they reflect is greater than the heat that they retain. Climate is very complex, but has remained remarkably stable over millions of years, due to the feedback equilibrium which has allowed life to flourish on earth.
The Global Temperature Denier response to this chart, will be the standard anti-science techniques which we have seen from ClimateGate to the present: Call naughty names, dismiss the authoritative source (HadCRUT), fail to rebut with a meaningful contrary chart, change the subject, crow about the "consensus", censor the information, lose or change the temperature measurements, etc.
HadCRUT is the dataset of monthly instrumental temperature records formed by combining the sea surface temperature records compiled by the Hadley Centre of the UK Met Office and the land surface air temperature records compiled by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia. In addition, the Met Office recently revised its forecast through 2017...Downward. Far downward; so if correct, there will have been no warming for 20 years--much longer than the recent bout of warming.
Also amazingly, if you take a look at Wikipedia article "Hockey stick controversy", you will find a locked-down obfuscation that has been sanitized to remove any trace of the fake Hockey Stick Chart by "scientist" Michael Mann, which was made infamous in AlGore's "Inconventient Truth" crockumentary:
Wikipedia, led by Green Party zealot, William Connolley, is part of the effort to sell the Mann-made Climate Hoax, in this case by hiding the medieval warming period, in order to make the current warming period look more dramatic and scary. So the huge Wikipedia article actually hides any mention of the chart which is the subject of the article!!! The fraud surrounding the AGW hoax truly is astounding!
Unfortunately for the Global Temperature Deniers, the planet isn't melting.
In fact there has been NO GLOBAL WARMING FOR OVER 16 YEARS:
Remember this the next time you read some article about the latest horror caused by "Climate Change". Whatever it is they are claiming, it couldn't have been caused by a warming planet, because the planet isn't warming!!!
But hey don't take my word for it, go to the WoodForTrees.org website, select the latest authoritative climate data, and graph it any way you want. You don't need a scientist to help you read a thermometer.
Is Global Warming Hiding In The Ocean Somewhere?
Ah no. In the last 10 years sea temperatures have been falling. Nice try though.
Then Warmists will claim that maybe the warming is hiding much deeper somewhere. Really? How did the warming travel from the surface to way down deep without warming the surface water? But more importantly, why didn't the CAGW climate models predict that such a thing would happen? Do you get the idea that you are being played yet?
Actual temperature observations prove James Hansen's model was off by over 150%!
The lack of warming for the last 16 years, is BELOW the level predicted by CAGW Godfather, James Hansen in 1988, for the best case scenario "C" in which MAN STOPS PRODUCING ANY CO2 WHATSOEVER.
But Hansen's most likely scenario "A" was with CO2 emissions increasing at 1.5% per year, whereas they have actually been increasing at a much faster rate of 2.5%.
By the way, that same unbiased "scientist" James Hansen, was last seen being arrested for chaining himself to the White House fence to protest building the Keystone Pipeline, which will increase worldwide CO2 by a whopping 0.00067% per year!
But what about all the other climate models? Didn't at least one of them get it right? Ah no. All the other models are similarly flawed; none have remotely predicted recent lack of warming. How embarrassing for them, yet their response is to howl "panic! panic!" even more loudly, as if we don't have an internet and can quickly expose the fraud.
Global warming models failed royally; they are not even in the same ball park. They are fatally flawed, ergo there is no looming climate catastophe.
Science. Learn what it means. Hint: it is not blindly following a consensus. Think for yourself.

Occupy Wall Street - List of Demands (LOL)
The creepy Occupy Wall Street protesters now have a specific list of demands. Allow me to humbly deconstruct each of them:
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending "Freetrade" by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages.
Have you ever heard of "Taft-Hartley", comrade? That was implemented by President Hoover and it ushered in the Great Depression of the 1930s. The reason tariffs fail is because other countries retaliate with tariffs of their own; a trade war results and you get a global depression. Tariffs are passed on to consumers with higher prices for everything imported. Besides, aren't you a "citizen of the world" who wants open borders? Why would you want to further impoverish folks in other countries, by restricting their exports?
Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hour.
Why only $20? Why not $40? $100? $1000? The problem with any minimum wage is that it puts people out of work -- the higher the wage, the more unemployment. A private employer can only hire someone at a wage less than the marginal contribution of that person's labor to their business. Otherwise the employer goes out of business. Most people earn more than the minimum wage because they are worth more, so the employer must pay them more in order to keep them from going to a competitor.
Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
Obama tried take over one-sixth of the U.S. economy with ObamaCare. Almost every legislator who went along with this misguided scheme was voted out of office in 2010. While it proved politically impossible to immediately implement a "single payer" government monopoly, both Right and Left agree that ObamaCare will not work in its present form, insurers will eventually go bankrupt and a government monopoly will result. The Left is happy with such a government monopoly, the Right ... not so much.
When has government ever provided a service better than the private sector? Ask anyone in the military whether he would rather go to a private hospital or one in the Veterans Administration.
Michael Moore actually thinks Cuba's health care is superior to that in the U.S. That is just nuts. ObamaCare proponents rip U.S. health care by comparing mortality rates, yet if you control for violent deaths, the U.S. has a better record than most countries. We lead the world with the fewest deaths from major diseases such as cancer and heart attack.
The mandate for everyone to buy health insurance soon will be ruled un-Constitutional, because if government can do something that intrusive, then there is no limit on what else a government can do to the citizens. That would be the end of America's experiment in limited government, the Constitution will become meaningless, and we will live under the boot of tyrants. Yet without the mandate to broaden the base, ObamaCare is destined to fail economically.
That is why ObamaCare must be repealed and replaced with a Constitutional plan which reduces health costs and improves delivery.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Sheer genius. Hey if everyone can sit around, watch TV and goof off, yet still get paid the same as someone who works his butt off, then who will be left to work, comrade? As Margaret Thatcher famously said: Socialism fails because eventually you run out of other people's money.
Demand four: Free college education.
Community colleges are almost free right now, comrade. In case you haven't noticed, the U.S. is broke; the Fed prints monopoly money from thin air or borrows from China, until they wise up and tear up our national credit card.
Why do your hypocritical Marxist professors demand such high salaries?
Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy.
One word: "Solyndra". Obama's green energy star filed for bankruptcy less than 2 years after wasting over a half billion dollars of taxpayers' money, including a ample contribution to Obama's political campaign.
Another example of government's failure in energy policy is ethanol. While government pays billions to enrich corporate welfare queens like Archer Daniels Midland, ethanol subsides have done absolutely nothing do reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Even AlGore admit ethanol is a failure, because it costs more energy to produce than it yields.
The problem with doing away with economic incentives in favor of political ones, is that wasteful decisions then are done based upon crony capitalism and corruption. If politicians get to pick winners, then you can bet they will pick those who contribute to their campaigns for re-election. You can't just solve this by electing only honorable people, because you cannot repeal human nature.
Government must get out of the way and let the invisible hand of the free market work.
Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
Please be patient; let the first Obama/Pelosi Trillion Dollar Porkulus work its magic as Obama promised.
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America's nuclear power plants.
If the planet is in dire danger of burning to a crisp, why destroy all our nuclear power plants? Nuclear energy produces zero carbon emissions. Again where does all this money come from; America is broke.
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
Great idea. Currently certain folks are discriminated against in hiring and college admissions based upon skin color and gender. "Affirmative action" is a violation of the Constitutional rights of white males.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
If your plan is to collapse our already bankrupt economy, that is a great way to do it, comrade. So we guarantee everyone lots of free stuff, and allow anyone from anywhere in the world to stroll across our borders and claim it. Our fragile economic system would be quickly overwhelmed and would crash.
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
Sure comrade, let's do away will all of those new-fangled electronic gizmos, and go back to doing everything manually. Fancy electronic doo-dads can never be secured, which is why people are always stealing money out of my bank account from the ATMs. Let's also get rid of those dangerous iPads and go back to the abacus.
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the "Books." World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the "Books." And I don't mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
If you can borrow money without ever having to repay it, then who will ever lend you money again? Say comrade, can I borrow a couple hundred dollars from you?
Currently the international securities markets are petrified that the tiny country of Greece might default on its debt, causing a financial contagion. Taking your goofy demand seriously and stiffing all holders of debt, would collapse civilization and put the world back into the Dark Ages.
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
If a lender cannot determine whether you are a good credit risk, then he will need to raise interest rates on all creditors equally, just to make sure he earns a profit. Why should folks with good credit pay the same interest rates as the dead-beat stoned slackers?
Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
Obama's "card check" legislation would have eliminated secret ballots in union elections. The purpose of having secret ballots, just like in other elections, is to provide every voter privacy and the chance to vote without intimidation from bullies. Many people who voted the "wrong" way in places like the Soviet Union, were never heard from again. That's not what we want in America.
No one should be forced to join a union. Paying union dues should be voluntary.
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy. Lloyd J Hart 508-687-9153
You're seriously nuts, comrade. You think just like Barack Obama; what a disaster his policies have wrought.
===============================================
The "Occupy Wall Street" strategy is obvious:
These OWS demands may sound incredibly naive, but they are intentionally designed to destroy Western civilization. 0bama and his progressive minions cannot possibly be that stupid; ergo they must be evil.
Today across the globe, banks are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. For example, since the dastardly Bank of America was denied profits by Dodd-Frank, it now is struggling to make ends meet any way it can. B of A stock price is hovering around an all time low; investors fear they are insolvent, and will not even pay several multiples of book value for their common stock.
Now that 0bama's Marxist policies have failed and he is plummeting in the polls, the Marxists see one last chance to collapse our fragile, diverse free enterprise system and implement George Soros' centrally planned "New World Order". That chance is to pile on the banks and push as hard as they can, until it all collapses. The intent of the Marxists to destroy the Western free enterprise system was spelled out in the Cloward-Piven strategy long ago.
Notice that these items above, are presented as "demands" as if we no longer live in a representative democracy, and must obey what Obama's class warriors decree.
Sorry, comrades. The Tea Party is what democracy looks like; not you and your violent union-backed street mobs of Marxists their useful idiot running dogs.
***UPDATE***
#OccupyWallStreet demands blood in the streets:
Occupy L.A. Speaker: “One of the speakers said the solution is nonviolent movement. No, my friend. I’ll give you two examples: French Revolution, and Indian so-called Revolution.
Gandhi, Gandhi today is, with respect to all of you, Gandhi today is a tumor that the ruling class is using constantly to mislead us. French Revolution made fundamental transformation. But it was bloody.
India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in maximum poverty.
So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class.
Long live revolution! Long live socialism!”
OWS Marxist Cheerleaders:
Okay Barton Hinkle did a much better job than I did, by using devastatingly witty satire:
#1 Yoko Ono, Net Worth - $500 million.
#2 Russell Simmons, $325 million
#3 Roseanne Barr, $80 million
#4 Deepak Chopra, $80 million
#5 Kanye West, $70 million
#6 Alec Baldwin, $65 million
#7 Susan Sarandon, $50 million
#8 Michael Moore, $50 million
#9 Tim Robbins, $50 million
#10 Nancy Pelosi, $35.5 million
#11 Barack Hussein Obama, $5+ million
#12 George Soros, $22,000 million
#Occupy Wall Street: A Manifesto LOL!
The OOOWS (Obammunist Occupation Of Wall Street) movement is deadly serious. The Marxists and their useful idiot running dogs want to destroy our free enterprise system by collapsing the banks, starting with the most vulnerable: Bank of America.
Bank of America is nearly bankrupt, its stock is at all time lows, and the Marxists are pushing as hard as they can, using lawsuits, taking away its revenue sources in the Senate, and demonizing its management in the streets.
As the 0bammunists face potential repudiation at the polls, they have nothing to lose. They are desperate; they are vicious; their masks have come off; it's now or never.
Who are the OOOWS crowd? Doug Schoen has the answer: Polling the Occupy Wall Street Crowd.
They are employed, political activists who support violence in order to achieve their objective: The destruction of free-market capitalism and radical redistribution of wealth.
They are misfits like Jason Todd Ready...Van Jones...David Duke...Richard Trumka...Bill Maher...Al Sharpton...Alicia Rodriguez:
Nazis, communists, racists, union thugs, misogynists, lunatics and convicted terrorists... all heart the 0bama 0ccupiers.
The Rap Sheet So Far...
Who do you suppose is behind the OWS domestic terror movement? Obviously it was started by 0bama himself, with his contant demonizing of successful "millionaires and billionaires" to dangerously incite angry mobs with class division, envy and resentment.OWS are the violent shock troops used to thwart democracy and bring about the end game for 0bama's fundamental transformation of America which he promised during his campaign.
After that cynical political ploy, here is what happened next.
A day in the life of an OWS protester; how many corporations are patronized?

OBAMA'S APPROVAL RATING HITS ANOTHER NEW LOW
More of America is turning "racist" apparently:
Obama's RCP Average Approval Rating is now down to just 43.5% (-7.7%) and falling at August 10, 2011.
Folks we are witnessing the final collapse of socialism in our lifetimes.
"I hope he fails."- Rush
He just did. The Tea Party will bring "hope" to America at last on 11/2/2012.

VINCE FLYNN WITH HUGH HEWITT DISCUSSING THE BIN LADEN RAID
Water-Boarding Was Necessary To Keep Americans Safe

Here's the portion of the interview that you soon will see repeated everywhere:
Hugh Hewitt: "Any doubt in your mind, Vince, that we did use information developed from enhanced interrogation techniques to get [Osama Bin Laden]?"
Vince Flynn: "Hugh, I said on your show years ago ... that Khaled Sheik Mohammad -- we water-boarded the heck out of him and ... this guy ended up spilling the beans to the point that he literally was up on a white board with a marker diagramming the organizational structure of Al Qaeda, telling us where their bank accounts were in Germany, where their cells were -- it was a font of information."
Ergo water-boarding worked; Dubya who authorized it and others who did it are heros, whereas B.O., Pelosi, and Holder who wanted to treat our heros as war criminals, are either complete morons or are intentionally endangering our national security for political purposes, or both.
Here's the complete transcript. or listen here.

Is President Obama Sane?

This man is a narcissist psychopath who thinks he is God.
This man is about to suffer humiliating international rejection on November 2, 2010.
This man controls the world's mightiest military and has the power to launch nuclear weapons.
Scared yet?

The American Trinity: Three Pillars of American Values
Dennis Prager, the insightful political commentator, has discovered something astounding:
The key to American exceptionalism is inscribed in tiny letters in a form owned by all Americans -- it's probably in your pocket right now. He calls it "The American Trinity", the three pillars of American Values. Indeed, the thing that makes America great is our unique value system.
The unique essence of America are inscribed on every copper penny:
"In God We Trust", "E Pluribus Unum", "Liberty"
In the world today there are three competing, incompatible value systems:
American values, Progressive values, and Islamic values.
Islamic values are centered around the Quran and the life of Muhammad. Everyone can see how miserably those have worked out. But about 1.5 billion people subscribe to these values and they are fanatical about enforcing adherence to their beliefs. If Americans are not equally confident in our own values, especially if we don't even know what our values are, then we are in serious trouble.
In the west the competition is between Conservative American values and Progressive (aka "Liberal") values. Progressive values dominate Europe, but have become increasingly fashionable in the U.S., especially with the election of President Barack Obama. Let's explore what comprises our uniquely American values:
In God We Trust
America was founded upon a belief in God as manifested in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian tradition. We know this because a belief in God is enshrined in the United States Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.So in America we believe that our rights were bestowed upon each of us by our Creator, not by man. Because if any man can grant you a right, as progressives believe, then such a man can also take away that right. Americans trust in God; progressives trust in ruling elites.
Progressives trust rule by elites, because they believe that certain groups are inherently wise and good while others are ignorant and bad. Conservatives believe that every person is an individual, not an interchangeable member of group which determines his character. Conservatives believe that while people are basically good, human nature disposes us to act in our own self interest most of the time. Conservatives believe there is nothing wrong with acting in our own self interest as long as we have a well developed sense of fairness.
Fairness implies that we find it unconscionable to take something we don't deserve. The American Free Enterprise system only works when there is predictable fairness, based upon natural law. This brings us back to the need for a belief in God or at least a foundation in Judeo-Christian values. The most important lesson of Christ was the Golden Rule: "Do unto others that which you would have done unto you".
So the American free enterprise system can only work, if the vast majority of people are willing to offer something of equal or greater value, in exchange for acquiring the good or service that they desire.
The very first amendment of the constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but Progressives have perverted that to mean freedom from religion. With the help of the American Civil Liberties lawyers, Progressives have spent millions prosecuting exercise of religion or anything remotely religious on public property. Progressives essentially have declared war on traditional faith by arguing that freely-chosen religious expression somehow is in violation of the Constitutional prohibition against Congressional establishment of religion.
E Pluribus Unum (From many, one)
Immigrants of all races and cultures have come to America from many lands. America has always welcomed immigrants, as we find inscribed on the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...").
However, America also expects something in exchange from our immigrants: That they agree to become Americans and contribute to our greatness. We encourage all immigrants to remember their roots and revere their heritage. But we really don't care about their ethnicity. What we do care about is that they want to be one of us, to share the values which made us great, and participate fully in the grand American experience. That is why Conservatives reject multi-lingual education, because failing to learn English presents a significant barrier for immigrants to assimilate as Americans.
While Conservatives celebrate legal immigration, they are adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. This opposition arises largely because illegal immigration allows people to come into America without requiring that they learn our values. It allows illegals to keep their culture, their language, their values and live in barrios insulated from the rest of us. Illegal immigration builds walls instead of bridges.
Progressives promote "multi-culturalism", which is the permanent division of Americans into ethnic groups, based upon superficial characteristics such as race, national origin and language. Because Progressives don't believe America is anything special, they believe all cultures are to be equally celebrated. They send their children to college to learn about "Ethnic studies". They believe America is fundamentally flawed and mostly full of bigots, so they endlessly deconstruct American values, mock patriotic displays, and wouldn't be caught dead flying an American flag.
Liberty
Liberty (freedom) is a political environment in which the ability, for each individual to exercise free will, is maximized. Conservatives believe freedom is paramount because free will -- the capacity for an individual to choose among alternatives -- represents the unique essence of humanity. Were it not for our ability to choose, then humans would be no more exceptional than ants scurrying around in a colony.
Progressives however, believe in equality of result, even if liberty must be sacrificed. This Liberal idea known as Socialism or "social justice" really appeals to an ugly human emotion: envy. As Al Sharpton succinctly put it:
"The struggle is not over until we achieve equality ... the dream [of social justice] was to make everything equal in everybodys' house."
Socialism is defined as the ownership of the "means of production" by the "people". How does wealth get owned by someone other than the person who created the wealth? It's done using legalized theft. Like robbing a liquor store at gunpoint, socialism involves taking something that doesn't belong to you. But Progressives believe that they are not stealing because everything you earn already belongs to government, and the ruling elites get to decide how to distribute the booty.
As a corollary, Conservatives would define "greed" as wanting something for nothing -- taking something that does not belong to you and being unwilling to give anything of value in return. In contrast, a Progressive typically defines "greed" as having more "than you need"; and they get to decide how much you need.
This also explains why Progressives typically are soft on prosecuting crime. To a progressive, theft is just another way to distribute wealth from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Conservatives typically believe in "three strikes and you're out" and death penalty laws; whereas Libs believe in endless attempts at rehabilitation.
As another corollary, Conservatives believe in individual responsibility, because Liberty does not work unless each person is willing to take responsibility for his own actions or inaction. Progressives believe in collective responsibility; if someone does something wrong they will not blame the individual. Instead they will blame the injustice of society or perhaps the weapon used to commit the crime.
"Communism" is the end-game; the ultimate goal of Marxists. Communism is the supposed elimination of social classes by forced redistribution, not only of income, but of accumulated wealth and property as well. This has always involved extreme violence, because no one wants to work hard to achieve material wealth, only to have it taken away by a police state.
"From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs."
-Karl Marx
The reality is the some people will always manage to have far more wealth than others. The only question is who gets to the control the wealth -- the wealth producers or the politicians?
So while Conservatives believe that everyone is born equal, Progressives believe that big government must be used to enforce equality of results. In other words, Conservatives believe in freedom to pursue happiness; Progressives believe in mandated happiness through redistribution.
Each of us must decide what values we hold dear because we are at a historic crossroads which will decide the fate of America and the free world.
In November, choose like your life depended upon it, America. Study the penny in your pocket.

Marxists Infiltrate The Methodist Church
Here is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. In the following stunning video, Conservative Tea Party speaker Andrew Breitbart brings a protest to a complete halt by cleverly asking sign holders to perform the impossible: Explain the placards they were carrying.
Breitbart single-handedly confronted and shut down a deafening, chanting mob of protesters at a Conservative speaking event called "Right Nation 2010". Andrew Breitbart and Glenn Beck were speaking at the event held in Hoffman Estates, Illinois on September 20, 2010.
Before the event, about 150 people were protesting the supposed spreading of "hate" and "racism" -- you know, the typical unsupported lies smeared by Democrat "progressives" upon Conservatives. Then Andrew Breitbart, convinced that a counter protest was comprised of goofballs, paid to shout crap that they didn’t even understand, brilliantly confronts the group and asks them to explain the sentiment written on their signs. One-by-one he challenged them to provide "just one" example of the "hate" and "lies" of which they accused speaking guests, Breitbart and Beck. But alas no one could, so the humiliated, fake astroturf mob just collapsed!
Astounding! The union thug/"religious" leaders, quickly gathered their brood of confused chickens and the whole protest went home, even though earlier they had promised to explain their purpose in a "prayer meeting" at 5:30PM. So they boarded their four buses borrowed (after compensating taxpayers, I'm sure) from a local high school, and slunk back to their Democrat party bosses.
Never have I seen such conclusive evidence that "progressives" are fake, spineless, pitiful weasels.
Now the really disturbing thing, aside from the fact that the entire protest was promoted by Obama's "Organizing For America" Democrat campaign website, was that it was led by a band of Marxists wearing vestments of Methodist and Episcopal "ministers" calling itself "Keep Hate Out of the Debate."
The leader of the protest was "Reverend" C.J. Hawking, and her ancient helpers, "Reverend" Eugene Winkler and "Reverend" Rodney Reinhart. Reinhart, Rectum of St. Clement's Episcopal Church in Harvey, turned the other cheek proclaiming this gem of Christian love: "Let's not kid ourselves -- this is about racism. It's because we have a black man in the White House", Reinhart said in a pious imitation of the execrable Janeane Garofalo. Ironically while calling for an "end to hate", their own members were busy hurling expletives and homophobic slurs at the "Teabaggers". Gee Rodney, that's not very tolerant; what would Jesus say?
The "Reverend" Hawking said "[Beck] seems to want to spread fear, paranoia and divisiveness. We're here to say those are not values America was founded on." Hawking is the "Harry F. Ward(*) Social Justice" minister at Euclid Avenue Methodist Church in Oak Park, IL. She has long history in "faith-labor organizing" -- striking for Jesus. As Director of the SEIU-funded Interfaith Worker Justice local affiliate "Arise Chicago", Hawking has been a featured speaker at dinners honoring the Democratic Socialists of America. Here is C.J. Hawking, sans vestments, celebrating Marxism -- you know ... one of those "values America was founded on":
C.J. Hawking and her husband Steven K. Ashby are authors of "Staley", a book about a 1993-95 strike they led at a corn syrup manufacturer in Decatur, Illinois. The strike began when a foreman fired a worker for refusing to change a light bulb. That's right, because changing a light bulb is so complex and dangerous that it must have an electician and union work rules explaining exactly how to do it. These are the sort of insane union demands which have destroyed the U.S. manufacturing base and put millions out of work. The authors were so proud of their role, that they wrote a book about the strike, as a model for shutting down industry across America, with God's help. Unfortunately the union didn't help its own members, who were locked out for two years, as the company continued to operate just fine with replacement labor. Apparently the "scabs" didn't mind being "oppressed" by having to change light bulbs in exchange for receiving company paychecks and no deduction for dues.
Q: How many union thugs does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Don't be silly; that's not in their contract. Live better; work union.
Hawking and her sad little book "Staley" are celebrated in an article entitled "Prairie Fire". The article appears on web publication "In These Times", which promotes "social, environmental and economic justice" and opposes "the tyranny of marketplace values over human values". By pure coincidence, "Prairie Fire" is also the name of a book by their Chicago neighbor and Obama pal, Bill Ayers, a terrorist who dedicated this Marxist manifesto to Sirhan Sirhan, the ass wipe who murdered Senator Robert Kennedy in cold blood.
Eugene Winkler is Retired Senior Pastor of the Chicago Temple First United Methodist Church. Winkler and his gay agnostic buddy named Kevin Poloncarz, a wannabe scoutmaster, filed a lawsuit against both the City of Chicago and Department of Defense over the Boy Scouts.
So here we have a "man of God" suing on behalf of an agnostic, because the eevil Boy Scouts of America have a pledge which acknowledges a belief in God (oh my), and requires "morally straight" scoutmasters. Apparently Winkler, in his jihad against the Boy Scouts wanted to ensure that eventually the Scouts are served with a lawsuit by some distraught parent whose little boy is molested by his NAMBLA scoutmaster on a camp out.
Winkler has been active in the American Civil Liberties Union, and Citizen Action/Illinois whose mission statement holds that there is "collective good beyond our individual interests", and therefore exists to acquire "political power" to achieve "social justice".
You can see by their cowardly responses in the video, that blubber butt and her crew of old farts are trying to hide their nefarious true agenda. It's little wonder they are mad at Beck, who first warned America by exposing churches pushing their redistributionist, "social justice".
This is a disturbing example of a vast national movement in which "progressives" have co-opted our erstwhile trusted churches. Now instead of "do unto others what you would have them do unto you", the message is Robin Hood's "take from the 'rich' by the power of the police state and give to the 'poor'", while generously lining the pockets of yourselves and those doing the redistributing. So rather than promoting Christ's example of voluntarily offering charity to the less fortunate, the Methodist/ Episcopal church now largely is in cahoots with politicians seeking to buy votes by redistributing confiscated wealth.
While these pious posers supposedly are teaching God's word, in reality they are 19th century Marxists who learned nothing from the horror of the 20th century, and now push "social justice" -- a euphemism for forcibly taking away your property and liberty and giving it to union thugs, lawyers, stoned slackers and the ruling elite of the Democrat party.
C.J. Hawking and Eugene Winkler, are disciples of Satan, who have perverted the message of Christianity as they masquerade with Methodist vestments to champion discredited Marxist, secular progressive policies which have always led to moral decadence, violence and grinding squalor.
Oh and here is Beck's speech so you can judge for yourself whether it is "hateful" and "racist":

Who was Harry F. Ward?
According to Congressional testimony in July 1953:
The Methodist Federation for Social Action, originally called the Methodist Federation for Social Service, was first organized by a group of Socialist, Marxist clergymen of the Methodist church headed by Dr. Harry F. Ward. Dr. Ward was the organizer, for almost a lifetime its secretary and actual leader. He at all times set its ideological and political pattern. Its objective was to transform the Methodist Church and Christianity into an instrument for the achievement of socialism. It was established in 1907, 12 years before the organization of the Communist Party in the United States in 1919.
The outbreak of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in November 1917 had a tremendous effect upon the Socialist ministers of this organization and especially upon Ward. By 1920 Ward was cooperating and collaborating with the Communist Party. The Methodist Federation for Social Action assumed the leadership for setting up similar organizations in the other Protestant denominations.
Quite a few ministers participated in the American League Against War and Fascism, later called the American League for Peace and Democracy. In fact, they were so deeply involved through its chairman, Harry F. Ward, that they became the spokesmen -- the advocates, the builders, and the leaders of this most important Communist front that engaged in everything from simple assault on a government to espionage, sabotage and the overthrow of the Government of the United States.
For many years, Dr. Harry F. Ward was the chief architect for Communist infiltration and subversion in the religious field. His name appears in practically all the Communist-front or Communist Organizations.
-Excerpted from Congressional testimony in
Chapter 2: "Collaborators With Communism"
Also, according to Wikipedia, Harry F. Ward was the first chairman of the ACLU, leading the group from its creation in 1920 until 1940. Ward was a prominent defender of Soviet Communism. He frequently spoke at events held by the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship. In October 1939 Ward testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, which concluded that the American League Against War and Fascism was a Communist front.

Restoring Honor Rally - August 28, 2010
I attended the Restoring Honor Rally, in Washington D.C. on August 28, 2010, hosted by Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin; it was fantastic! What a wonderful, inspirational experience!
At first I was disappointed that the rally would not be political. But now I realize the brilliance of Beck's strategy: The message of the Tea Party movement is unassailable.
The vast majority of Americans are frightened and angry at Washington's out-of-control spending and borrowing from our children's future to buy votes.
So the only weapon, the Democrats had for countering our compelling message, was to portray Tea Party members as nut jobs and "racists". But the Beck rally effectively crushed that disgusting, bogus meme.
The Beck rally allowed the world to see that America is full of honorable, normal, sincere people of faith and their families, who just want the country to return to the magnificent vision of our founding fathers as expressed in the U.S. Constitution.
The crowd stretched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Memorial -- about a mile. The rally featured the stirring music of the renown Aaron Copland, including "Hoedown" from Rodeo and "Fanfare for the Common Man".
The rally was held on the same day as Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech and Glenn Beck honored Dr. King's dream of equal opportunity. Apparently Al Sharpton held a protest rally somewhere in the general area, but we never saw it. I'm pretty sure it was enormous though. Sharpton is somehow under the impression that he "owns" the MLK legacy.
Sharpton was upset that non-black people also dared to honor the great civil rights leader. If racial harmony can be allowed to exist, then Sharpton and his fellow race hucksters stand to lose out on the big bucks they make from milking bogus racist claims to extort millions. Sharpton would be out of a job and hafta pursue some paper-hat related line of work, consistent with his abilities.
Another terrifying Beck supporter.
There was a massive "Truther" counter rally.
And a massive Obammunist counter rally.
Elsewhere in D.C. for some reason, Barack Obama bobble-heads were on sale at steep discounts. 
Restoring honor can't come soon enough for America. As a Illinois state legislator, Barack Obama was a staunch NARAL supporter. Obama was the only legislator to speak on the floor of the state senate as an enthusiastic advocate for allowing infants, born alive during failed abortions, to die without any medical attention. Ask Nurse Jill Stanek what it is like to hold and rock a baby as it slowly suffocates.
The Obammunists shoved their nationalized health care obamanation down the throats of unwilling Americans. Now its our turn, so open wide Nancy Pelosi. And don't get too choked up; after all, we're only astroturf, remember?
Unfortunately for the Dims, hiding the truth about Obama's job-killing, freedom-snuffing, Marxist agenda is tough to do in today's age of the internet and the new media. Obammunists: Exit stage left. Welcome the Gazelephant of freedom!
Glenn Beck's 8/28 Speech
If you look at our history, America has been both terribly good and terribly bad ... But we concentrate on the bad instead of learning from the bad, and repairing the bad, and then looking to the good that is still ... within our reach. We have a choice today: To either let those scars crush us or redeem us.

We must not "fundamentally transform" America as some would want. No, we must restore America, and restore her honor ... I raised a combat vet and you can't take that away from me.
Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King spoke at the rally. Her life's mission is to save the unborn from slaughter.
Alveda and Glenn prayed before they spoke to the crowd. Alveda noticed that Glenn was wearing a bullet proof vest. Alveda considered wearing one too, but decided against it. These are two very brave and dedicated people. Our country is in mortal danger. Glenn Beck is a national hero.
The worst thing the Obammunists could do to themselves is to harm Glenn Beck physically. Because as Gary Eaton says, some days you have to roll with "The Army You Have". Today it’s one person. Tomorrow it’s ten. The next day it’s hundreds of thousands. The next, millions. Now the horrified Dims start to worry and look for ways to knock off the leader, only to discover there is no leader, only an army, spiritually connected, sharing the same values and vision for the greatest nation on earth. 
Hey Libs! Remember us? We're the voters ... the peasants ... ya know? ... your boss. And we surround you. You "progressives" of both parties, are about to get crushed into the dust of history. So go try your Marxist madness again in another generation or two ... no make it never.
First we're restoring honor -- our own honor. Then we in the Tea Party tradition will take back America from the statist posers. We will restore the dream our founding fathers had for our children: The fulfillment of centuries of human yearning for liberty.
God Bless America and the U.S. Constitution -- the most noble manifestation of freedom in the history of the world.

Beck vs Marxists -- Crowd size comparison
Choose a side, America. Time is short. Vote November 2, 2010.
"Beck's Restoring Honor Rally" (left) vs. "One Nation Working Together Rally" (right) Note vastly larger crowd size at the Beck event, despite the fact that attendence was mandatory for union goons and transportation and free lunches were provided by the union bosses.
