What’s so incredibly insulting in all this “act of God” talk is that the ones using it are supposedly devout people.

We also urge the Texas Legislature and the United States Congress to enact legislation prohibiting any jurisdiction from allowing any substitute or parallel system of Law, specifically, but not limited to, Sharia Law, to be recognized which is not in accordance with the Constitutions of Texas or of the United States of America.
Candidate Eligibility – A candidate running for office should be required to reside within the geographical boundaries of the office sought. A candidate must submit proof of qualifications for the office being sought, including proof of citizenship and in the case of a presidential candidate, an original or certified copy of a birth certificate, bearing names and signatures of parents, attendant(s), as well as date, time and location of birth for the purpose of satisfying the requirement of being a “natural born citizen”.
Controversial Theories – Realizing that conflict and debate is a proven learning tool in classrooms, we support objective teaching and equal treatment of all sides of scientific theories, including evolution, Intelligent Design, global warming, political philosophies, and others. We believe theories of life origins and environmental theories should be taught as challengeable scientific theory subject to change as new data is produced, not scientific law. Teachers and students should be able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these theories openly and without fear of retribution or discrimination of any kind.
We pledge our influence toward a return to the original intent of the First Amendment and toward dispelling the myth of separation of church and state.
Except for non-citizens, we further oppose any national ID program, including the Real ID Act and the use of Radio Frequency Identification Chips (RFID) on humans.

they’ve done a lot down here that appeals to the electorate and then comes back to slash and burn. and yet, we [as a state] keep voting republican.
see: prop 12. caps on medical malpractice. sounds like a good idea - except they made the caps so low, that plaintiff’s lawyers rarely take on those cases anymore, unless the person injured made [x] amount of dollars, where [x] is an amount way over minimum wage. see, economic damages weren’t capped.
so, fewer plaintiff’s cases. guess that might also sound good - except that there are people who REALLY deserve to have their case heard by a jury, who never make it to court, because they can’t afford it - texas law requires a medical expert to testify, and they charge as much per hour as a lawyer [sometimes more].
and the republicans keep saying that it was medical malpractice that drove up insurance premiums, only there was NO statistical increase in cases during the time insurance premiums went up. the only difference? insurance companies tried to fight more cases.
bottom line: there are doctors who should NOT be practicing medicine because of gross negligence, who are still practicing, because they haven’t been hauled into court. families that are sorely in need of money due to medical negligence [not a bad outcome, which is expected and i understand that, but medical negligence is altogether different] can’t get it …
and yet the republicans claimed it as a victory.
the machine down here has been on spin cycle for a long, long time.

Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin), custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values

see: prop 12. caps on medical malpractice. sounds like a good idea - except they made the caps so low, that plaintiff’s lawyers rarely take on those cases anymore, unless the person injured made [x] amount of dollars, where [x] is an amount way over minimum wage. see, economic damages weren’t capped.
so, fewer plaintiff’s cases. guess that might also sound good - except that there are people who REALLY deserve to have their case heard by a jury, who never make it to court, because they can’t afford it - texas law requires a medical expert to testify, and they charge as much per hour as a lawyer [sometimes more].
Wow, the effects of tort reform that are never ever mentioned. It’s easier just to vilify attorneys.

If you personally screw up bad enough then God will send a tornado, or a hurricane, or a volcano, or an earthquake, or a tsunami, or a giant oil spill to either kill thousands or tens of thousands of innocent people or to simply make them destitute and hungry while usually leaving you untouched.

They’re real upset about them gays, too.
Homosexuality – We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin), custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values

Family Values – We affirm that this section is a response to the attacks on traditional family values. These include well funded, vigorous political and judicial attempts by powerful organizations and branches of the government to force acceptance, affirmation and normalization of homosexual behavior upon school children, parents, educational institutions, businesses, employees, government bodies and religious institutions and charities.

efficient, effective health care.
republicans [not all, most] + insurance companies [probably all] have very effectively triangulated the three interest groups [patients, doctors, and attorneys] so that we fight each other, as opposed to fighting the real problem.

God helps him who helps himself.
By the way the well is also leaking a lot of methane, and some of it is getting into the atmosphere. Methane is a greenhouse gas too.
You entirely missed the point. This particular methane is a danger to the marine ecosystem when in solution. It is not significant on an atmospheric scale. It could turn out significant in patches of the water.
The far greater worry is from a bio-degradation of the oil itself. The microbes that eat the oil are thriving, and also consume oxygen. If total dissolved oxygen falls to low, we get a zone which will kill all the organisms which depend on oxygen.
I’m not convinced the methane component is a major threat. Most of it goes to the surface and dissipates into the atmosphere.

I realise that, the issue is the scale. This blowout does not appreciably increase atmospheric levels of methane. Alternatively, the oil has a very measurable impact. What the article was saying is that the elevated dissolved methane could contribute to that impact on the marine ecosystem.

Unhappy it is, then. To some extent you have to feel sorry for people like that. They can’t be too happy themselves-not that it gives them the right to take it out on anyone else.

Hey Ray… what do you think of this remark? Makes you madder?
“And that Word is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word. Fill it in with anything you want. But, of course, we know it means: ‘The Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.’ And that’s the great mystery of our faith. He will come again. He will come again. So, we have to make sure we’re prepared to answer in this life, or otherwise, as to how we have measured up.”

As with everything in this world there are levels. I wouldn’t compare Pelosi’s level of pandering to Sarah Palin’s level of pandering. In fact, I wouldn’t even call Sarah Palin’s rhetoric pandering — I think she actually believes what she says. Whereas Pelosi was pandering.

I only minimize Pelosi’s comments when it is compared to Palin’s level of religiousness. There is no comparison. As I already started Pelosi is pandering while Palin is a true believer. No, I am not a fan of Pelosi and would like to see her go as Speaker of the House.
However, I don’t see her religion affecting or having the ability to affect policy as would the consistently American Christian ethos of Palin. This at the same time when many Christians have called for the excommunication of Pelosi for her views on abortion.

Jewish joke seems appropriate here.
This man has been praying devoutly and fervently, year after year, that he will win the lottery. Finally, one day, he’s at it with extra fervor, if that were possible. And a voice booms out from the heavens:
Can’t you at least meet me half way, schmuck? Buy a lottery ticket!
We can at least try to do our part. And if we get lucky and no storm wrecks the relief well drilling rigs, no further blowout makes a nullity of all our efforts, etc., would we even recognize that we’d got a break?
What would be the point of free will if nothing much really rode on what we decided?

I find it very hard to maintain my patience when we see such BS. Perhaps, if only God can save us in such a crisis, because our technology is not adequate to handle a disaster - in an operation based more on greed and cutting corners than safety - it behooves us to not drill so deeply.
Of course, God, through all those physical laws He created which you must believe He made if you believe in Him, has made it excruciatingly clear that he won’t save us from the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels. The Big Guy is really into cause and effect and justice and all that.
Of course Sarah Palin along with the other GOP oil whores would never think so consistently about God. God isn’t so keen on whores who abuse the public trust either come to think of it…

I only minimize Pelosi’s comments when it is compared to Palin’s level of religiousness. There is no comparison. As I already started Pelosi is pandering while Palin is a true believer. No, I am not a fan of Pelosi and would like to see her go as Speaker of the House.
However, I don’t see her religion affecting or having the ability to affect policy as would the consistently American Christian ethos of Palin. This at the same time when many Christians have called for the excommunication of Pelosi for her views on abortion.

re: #33 Gus 802
Here’s another one:
Immunizations - All adult citizens should have the legal right to conscientiously choose which vaccines are administered to themselves or their minor children without penalty for refusing a vaccine. We oppose any effort by any authority to mandate such vaccines or any medical database that would contain personal records of citizens without their consent.
[Link: static.texastribune.org…]
That’s ridiculous. Denying your child vaccinations is no different from denying them a car safety seat. You’re running a risk with another’s life and health. We can argue about whether adults ought to be allowed to travel without wearing a seat belt. There’s a case to be made either way. But no adult, not even the parent, has any business to deny their own child the protection of seat belts, car seats, or vaccines.
It doesn’t matter if they hold some tinfoil belief that vaccines cause autism, or that if God had meant man to wear seat belts, he’d have made the first cars with them already installed. Some decisions involving risk to life and limb are open to debate: should children play football? Others are not.

Oh yes, they won’t perish in an eco collapse as well.
I want you all to look at something that was predicted about AGW and is coming to pass.
[Link: climateprogress.org…]
“Hellish heatwave” in Pakistan sets hottest temperature in Asia’s history, 53.5°C (128.3°F); in India, hundreds die, death toll expected to rise as record temperatures soar up to 122°F
Now most don’t really care too much in the US about thousands of dead Pakistanis and Indians - after all, they are brown and not Christian, and clearly less important than our own affairs. I do happen to care. This is not a case of confusing climate and weather. The link provided shows the trend of more extreme weather and the fact that we are swinging into more and more record highs.
This is also in an area predicted for it to happen.
You see, despite 2000-2009 being the warmest decade on record, we had powerful a la nina towards the end and an unusually calm sun (not that the solar variation was a big factor in any case) We still warmed anyway, but guess what, it is el nino time in the Pacific oscillation and the sun is getting back to normal.
So get it straight. You can’t live in 150 degree weather. Welcome to real summer heatwaves… coming soon to a nation near you… Like America. Speaking of God, while we don’t notice this event, He is very very into measure for measure… When it gets here and it is much too late to do anything, we will notice.

I find it very hard to maintain my patience when we see such BS. Perhaps, if only God can save us in such a crisis, because our technology is not adequate to handle a disaster - in an operation based more on greed and cutting corners than safety - it behooves us to not drill so deeply.
Of course, God, through all those physical laws He created which you must believe He made if you believe in Him, has made it excruciatingly clear that he won’t save us from the consequences of continuing to burn fossil fuels. The Big Guy is really into cause and effect and justice and all that.
Of course Sarah Palin along with the other GOP oil whores would never think so consistently about God. God isn’t so keen on whores who abuse the public trust either come to think of it…
There are ways and ways to save. A touch of inspiration in the right place at the right time can lead, after years of dedication and effort, to mighty consequences. Consider the story of the slave trade captain who had a change of heart and wrote one of the most famous hymns in Christianity.
It is evident from history that we should not expect lightning to shatter slave trade shipping, or any other sort of wickedness and foolishness of ours. We must ourselves act against such things. It is not entirely clear from history that we never get hints.
With AGW, though, do we need a hint? Doesn’t the natural world itself provide clues enough? And why do those not count as being, in the final analysis, “a hint”?

Gov. Perry’s stance isn’t really surprising when you read the Texas Republican Platform. A few choice pieces:
There is so much more. It’s all in there. Didn’t miss a nutbar beat.
Yep. The state GOP here has been taken over by crazy people.
Oh, how I wish the Dems here were worth damn. I vote for them largely because that’s the Republican Party I have to contend with in Texas. Bad crazy all around. =/

For fathers day my family took me to our local VFW monthly Post breakfast buffet and you won’t believe some of the scary things I saw.
First of all, there was someone who brought a collection of GUNS to show off… all kinds of military weapons that I suspect would make big loud noises if they were filled with bullets and gunpowder and stuff like that.
And I think I saw some skinheads for the first time. There were all these older people wearing beat up leather vests with all kinds of patches and symbols on them… and they were wearing caps with numbers on them… they all looked like bikers… but very old… really, skinheads I think.
And there was at least one Nazi there… I know he was a Nazi because the name on his leather vest was “Gunther” and he was white. I didn’t want to mess with him.
All in all… that VFW was a nest of nationalist pride, which I could see how much of a danger this could be to our society. I was glad to get out of there. I hope when Janet Napolitano starts to monitor the internet that the federal government pays close attention to these VFW places. I heard there are thousands of these hives.

The Dems will get spanked and lose some seats, but it won’t be near the bloodbath that Republicans want, I think.
If the GOP hadn’t gone full retard since Obama got elected, they might have been able to pick up more seats, but as it is, I think losses will be minimized slightly due to some of the extraordinarily dumb shit the GOP has pulled, like Barton’s apology to BP and the right-wing blogs and pundits rushing to agree with him.

re: #496 LudwigVanQuixote
I know that you and I disagree on how much to ban, how soon. You can debate economics and I can point to the costs of delay. In the end of the day, the laws of physics are greater than market forces. You may see my views as naive, that’s fair. I see anything that doesn’t try to move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible as dangerous.
I did not say stop using oil overnight. I said ban drilling - meaning don’t open any new fields.
I should have been more specific and I will grant you that.
OK, but that is still not going to happen. The oil interests are simply too strong right now. Some these fields are going to be drilled, and what the carbon from them does, it does. People are going to demand to see new technologies in use before they agree to an oil drawdown, Frankly, electricity generation strikes me as a better lead-off issue. Heck, with the threat of EMP you could sell smart grids as a national security measure. Though ‘snork’ will continue to deny their value even so, as he did at PGM either last night or Friday night.

Oh no, I would never be offended in someone just using German. The offence comes from him calling me Herr when falsely complaining that my views are “totalitarian”… It’s not to hard to put together. The even larger offence tough is for a falsely pious Jew to not realize that evil has no messenger.

The bottom line is that there will be hell to pay for not changing away from fossil fuel consumption as quickly as possible.

Nonsense. And the only thing that appears ‘Verboten’ is acknowledgment of the suffering and loss experienced by the Jews.
Interesting that you would insert a German word into this particular discussion. You should familiarise yourself with the word “Judenrein” as that is what happened in a vast area of nations many times larger than tiny Israel.Alternatively, Arabs are free to live in Israel and granted citizenship and rights they are deprived of in their own nations.
