It's difficult to rate journalism that resides in a fantasy land. The Chinese are never going to stop burning more and more coal every year. Ditto the Indians. Thus CO2 control is a fantasy - so why waste ink speculating about it? Global warming is another fantasy - a pure product of junk science by environmental fanatics searching for a disaster to make themselves be relevant.

This is comical on its face. Equador is a totally corrupt country and 27 billion is a comically large amount of money for supposed "damages."

Total and complete confusion regarding the hockey stick. 10% reduction in the gulf stream would have little effect on Europe. The problem with the hockey stick is not only that it doesn't show the little ice age but it also ignores the medivial optimum or warm spell around 1100. The IPCC is a fertile source of global warming propaganda. The hockey stick is not the only propaganda.

This article is for the consumption of true believers in global warming. The man in the street has more skepticism than elites and somehow the man in the street seems to know more than the elites who are easily duped by junk science. The IPCC reports do not support the IPCC summary for policy makers and in turn the propaganda of the IPCC is greatly amplified by the likes of greenpeace or the Sierra Club.

Obviously a totally biased account. I consider Fox news to be quite objective and gives both sides in its news shows. Glen Beck is incredibly intelligent and very informative. He does opinion, not news. Obama has a lot that deserves criticism. Basically he is deceptive,hiding his true objectives that are much more radical and left than suits this country.

THis story is comical. Let's paint the insurance companies as politically incorrect. This has nothing to do with serious thinking about health care.

Every discussion of the "public option" in the mainstream media is permeated with dishonesty. The public option is simply a stalking horse for socialized medicine - what Obama and his friends really want but know won't fly politically.

The real problem is that not rejecting people for preexisting conditions is an economic impossibility unless there is only one insurance company (i.e. national health). The reasons are obvious and that this is never mentioned by the media is a symptom of a lack of critical analysis.

The media is so easily fooled by "scientists" with an axe to grind. Debunked almost instantly at www.climatedepot.org or at www.climateaudit.org

Obama is a Chicago politician. He doesn't operate from any principle except to beat his foes and help his supporters. Rich should know better than to think otherwise.

Obama is Clinton but more ruthless and more tricky.

An advocate for socialized medicine tells the truth rather than hiding it.

Misses the point that government health care rations care and encourages old people to die quickly. Also misses that Democrats friends the trial lawyers impose a huge cost on health care via lawsuits and enforced defensive medicine.

Obviously Wal Mart would rather have the government subsidize health care for lower paid employees which are many of Wal Mart's employees.

Reform is needed. However Obama wants a national health service which would be horrible.

Ignores the elephants in the room - reverse racism and patronization of blacks as being unable to make it on their own. Blacks will always be an underclass as long as they accept racial preferences.

It's time for blacks to stand up and say I don't want to displace more deserving people because I'm black. Fifty years of this is enough.
