Just Thought I'd Pass This Along

In a debate with a co-worker, I emailed him these two links (among others that I have already posted in the past here) to open up his mind a little to the fact that there is no "consensus" (only at the alter of Al Gore, of course) on "global warming," or "climate change." By the way, I feel obligated to agree with this assertion from Canada's National Post, "I thought it most interesting last week when I read that Al Gore was all but bankrupt (relatively) ten years ago when his net worth was under $2 million. Now he is poised to join the Billionaires club by selling vaporware-carbon credits"

Good reading. And possiby viewing.

I tip my hat to you for discussing this with a coworker. I hope you changed his mind, or at least got him to think about it from a different perspective.

I also thought it was interesting when I read that Al Gore's energy bills for one year on his mansion is more than most people's yearly salary. I don't know why the moonbats blindly follow this snake oil salesman.

Because they're not allowed to see alternative or contradicting information. If Obama and his Fascist Doctrine goes forth, say goodbye to unregulated free info on the net. Unless of course it benefits the Dems.

From the NewsMax wire:

Conservative Books Again Topping Best-Seller Lists

"After a brief hiatus during the George W. Bush administration, conservative authors are once again dominating the lists of best-selling books.

Amazon.com shows conservative talker Glenn Beck's "Common Sense" at the top of its list, with Michelle Malkin's "Culture of Corruption" close behind.

Ron Paul's "End the Fed" stands at No. 7 , Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny" is No. 9, and No. 22 is Dick Morris and Eileen McGann's "Catastrophe: How Obama, Congress, and the Special Interests Are Transforming a Slump Into a Crash, Freedom Into Socialism, and a Disaster Into a Catastrophe...and How to Fight Back."

The New York Times, which uses different data to rank its best-sellers, has "Culture of Corruption" at the top, "Liberty and Tyranny" at No. 5, and "Catastrophe" at No. 7. The Times had declined to review the three books. Bill O'Reilly's "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" is number eight.

The Times ranks paperbacks separately and has "Common Sense" at No. 2 on that list.

From 1991 to 2001, eight books by conservative authors topped the Times' list, while only two liberal authors, Hillary Clinton and Al Franken, had No. 1 best-sellers, according to the Media Research Center's NewsBusters Web site.

But from 2002 through 2009, as Bush's approval ratings began to decline, the Times' list was more balanced, with 16 books by conservatives and 15 by liberals or by Bush critics topping the list.

In October 2003, Newsweek.com proclaimed that "the best-seller list, once the sole bastion of conservative screeds. . . is now crammed with liberal broadsides."

But conservatives now have"reclaimed their hold on the Times' best-seller page," NewsBusters observed. "The closest any of the top 15 hardcover nonfiction books gets to a defense of liberalism or the Obama administration is 'In Fed We Trust' by David Wessel, which argues that the Bernanke Fed staved off an even deeper economic downturn."

Malkin told NewsBusters: "There's a hunger for a counter-narrative to the hope and change propaganda disseminated by the mainstream media."
