Global Warming is More Faith than Fact


According to Al Gore, Global Warming is a 'moral issue'. Thousands if not millions of people may agree with this. However, what value system do the global warmers' weigh their definitions of moral/immoral against? What is the standard for moral? When do we know that the global warmers are satisfied? The truth is, nobody knows. Global warming is just another denomination of the environmentalist religion, but, like environmentalism, there is no endgame. No heavenly reward in the end, no end zone to spike the football in, no super bowl trophy to break out the champagne glasses around, no victory to claim except . . . what?

There is no tangible end game because the movement itself is the endgame. The movement itself is an atheistic idolatry, the ultimate geocentrist view that man, not God is the center of the universe. The geocentrist view that man can actually direct the climate and control only what God, the Creator of the Universe, can. Evil wins every time that God is scorned and with global warming, offending God is the endgame. Blaspheming the Almighty each and every day that environmentalism is practiced, and each and every time somebody new joins the environmentalist ranks defines this religion. They are marching with nowhere to go, just as long as they've drug as many souls with them as they possibly could by whatever means necessary, even creating crises to scare people that Armageddon is coming.

According to Al Gore et al., the false gods of environmentalism are angry and they're coming for us. Not enough humans have been sacrificed to appease their gods. Not enough blasphemy has been committed to satisfy the gods. Still too many God fearing souls exist that must be turned into atheists to satiate the thirst of the environmentalist god.

To environmentalism atheism is a prerequisite. This is because it places complete and total control into the hands of man and none in a Higher Being. Environmentalism is the ultimate geocentrist view that man, not God is the center of the universe. That man can actually direct the climate. Today we are told by Al Gore, the high priest of the god of environmentalism that the gods are angry. Atheism is a prerequisite to this religion therefore, only more atheism can appease the gods.

Today we learned that the gig is up. More and more prominent leaders are pointing out the absurdity of this false god with the most recent being the Czech President. According to an article, Czech President Vaclav Klaus stated:

"I'm convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature. That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very small increase in temperatures. And they should be punished."

"We'll be the victims of irrational ideology. They will try to dictate to us how to live, what to do, how to behave. What to eat, travel, and what my children should have. This is something that we who lived in the communist era for most of our lives — we still feel very strongly about. We are very sensitive in this respect. And we feel various similarities in their way of arguing or not arguing. In the way of pushing ahead ideas regardless of rational counter-arguments."

Klaus thinks that the world's "silent majority" would agree with his position on global warming. "I'm so sorry that Al Gore and others around the IPCC succeeded in influencing so many people," he said.

"We need to bring new arguments. The real problem isn't the arguments. The real problem is to motivate people to listen to other arguments against this. This is the missing link in the current debate."

Klaus says that he is in favor of "green" technology, but cautions that he is not in favor of the government dictating the development of the technology.

"I lived in a communist world where politicians told us what to do," Klaus said. "I don't think politicians or presidents should suggest to firms what to do. That has always been a mistake."

Population Control: Is This the Whole Point of Obama's Government Health Plan?

According to a 12/10/09 article on page 10 of the China Daily, a delegate from the Chinese communist government told the UN in Copenhagen that "Dealing with climate change is not simply an issue of CO2 emission reduction but a comprehensive challenge involving political, economic, social, cultural and ecological issues, and the population concern fits right into the picture."

She continued to brag about communist China's ruthlessly unjust one-child per family policy by exclaiming, "as a result of the family planning policy, China has seen 400 million fewer births, which has resulted in 18 million fewer tons of CO2 emissions a year".

Obama must have been rubbing his hands together in glee when he heard these words. After all, our marxist President appointed the most radically liberal environmentalist at the post of "Science Czar". John Holdren was appointed to Obama's cabinet under a sophisticated title to mask their radicalness: Director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy.

If we can remember back when Holdren was first exposed, we read the stories, but couldn't imagine what crisis would be created that would give Holdren the green light to implement his radical policies. The UN globalists have just provided Obama and John Holdren the green light they've been looking for.

If you forgot how serious our freedoms have suddenly become threatened, here are some of what John Holdren along with two other authors in the 1,000 page textbook, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment (1977) dreamed up as the answer to our search for happiness:

According to FrontPage Magazine Holdren et al. maintained:

"there exists ample authority under which population growth could be regulated . . . it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."
To underscore they mean business, they conclude, "If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility" (pp. 837-838). Moreover, if the United States government refuses to take proper measures, they authorize the United Nations to take compelling force."

Our Science Czar viewed life as cheap and 'manageable' with cold blooded murder to control the world's population:

"All the children who are born, beyond what would be required to keep up the population to a desired level, must necessarily perish, unless room be made for them by the death of grown persons...if we dread the too frequent visitation of the horrid form of famine, we should sedulously encourage the other forms of destruction, which we compel nature to use...and court the return of the plague."

FrontPage likened this, rightly so, to the sacrifice of humans to the environment god. The report quoted the textbook's pages
837-838 where it read:

"If some individuals contribute to general social deterioration by overproducing children, and if the need is compelling, they can be required by law to exercise reproductive responsibility".

John Holdren advocated a 'Planetary Regime' as part of a One World Government:

"The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits...the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits." (p. 943)

"Security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force...The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization." (p. 917)

Like Emperor Nero, who falsely blamed the great Fire of Rome on the Christian population, Obama's Czar takes his own shot at Christians, already assigning preemptive blame to Christians for any global environmental damage
:

"The Christian concept of life in this world, as voiced by Saint Paul, that 'here we have no abiding city,' for example, conceivably could help explain why some people show rather little concern for the long-term future of the global environment or for the well-being of future generations" (p. 807).

The only way Obama can force population control onto America is if he gets his Government run health plan passed while citing global disaster crisis as his justification. But standing in his way are people who still believe in family values and the rights of the family.
What a perfect scenario: cite imperfections in America's health care industry to justify a complete government takeover of it to, like China, take control of the family. It's happening now in China, it can easily happen here.

Former DNC Spokesman Howard Dean Reveals the Democrat Strategy

Howard Dean, former campaigner for the Presidential election spoke in Paris, France on April 5, 2009 about the strategy for implementing socialism into American culture. He also admits another strategy of the liberal agenda:

"Now we just don't have a permanent campaign for electing democrats, we have a permanent campaign for influencing policy. It brings us a little closer to the European model."



Pope John Paul II in 1991 wrote in opposition to the Socialist State saying:

"It must be added that totalitarianism arises out of a denial of truth in the objective sense. If there is no transcendent truth, in obedience to which man achieves his full identity, then there is no sure principle for guaranteeing just relations between people. . . If one does not acknowledge transcendent truth, then the force of power takes over, and each person tends to make full use of the means at his disposal in order to impose his own interests or his own opinion, with no regard for the rights of others. People are then respected only to the extent that they can be exploited for selfish ends. Thus, the root of modern totalitarianism is to be found in the denial of the transcendent dignity of the human person who, as the visible image of the invisible God, is therefore by his very nature the subject of rights which no one may violate — no individual, group, class, nation or State. Not even the majority of a social body may violate these rights, by going against the minority, by isolating, oppressing, or exploiting it, or by attempting to annihilate it."

". . . The State or the party which claims to be able to lead history towards perfect goodness, and which sets itself above all values, cannot tolerate the affirmation of an objective criterion of good and evil beyond the will of those in power, since such a criterion, in given circumstances, could be used to judge their actions. This explains why totalitarianism attempts to destroy the Church, or at least to reduce her to submission, making her an instrument of its own ideological apparatus."

". . . Nowadays there is a tendency to claim that agnosticism and sceptical relativism are the philosophy and the basic attitude which correspond to democratic forms of political life. Those who are convinced that they know the truth and firmly adhere to it are considered unreliable from a democratic point of view, since they do not accept that truth is determined by the majority, or that it is subject to variation according to different political trends. It must be observed in this regard that if there is no ultimate truth to guide and direct political activity, then ideas and convictions can easily be manipulated for reasons of power. As history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism."

". . . Even in countries with democratic forms of government, these rights are not always fully respected. Here we are referring not only to the scandal of abortion, but also to different aspects of a crisis within democracies themselves, which seem at times to have lost the ability to make decisions aimed at the common good. Certain demands which arise within society are sometimes not examined in accordance with criteria of justice and morality, but rather on the basis of the electoral or financial power of the groups promoting them. With time, such distortions of political conduct create distrust and apathy, with a subsequent decline in the political participation and civic spirit of the general population, which feels abused and disillusioned."

". . . Economic activity, especially the activity of a market economy, cannot be conducted in an institutional, juridical or political vacuum. On the contrary, it presupposes sure guarantees of individual freedom and private property, as well as a stable currency and efficient public services. Hence the principle task of the State is to guarantee this security, so that those who work and produce can enjoy the fruits of their labours and thus feel encouraged to work efficiently and honestly."

". . . By intervening directly and depriving society of its responsibility, the Social Assistance State leads to a loss of human energies and an inordinate increase of public agencies, which are dominated more by bureaucratic ways of thinking than by concern for serving their clients, and which are accompanied by an enormous increase in spending."

- Pope John Paul II. Centesimus annus (May 5, 1991)

Pro-Abortion Politicians 'Must' be Denied Communion


In June 200
4 then-head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI issued a letter entitled 'Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion. General Principles' to U.S. Bishops who were debating the issue stating, in part:

"5. Regarding the grave sin of abortion or euthanasia, when a person’s formal cooperation becomes manifest (understood, in the case of a Catholic politician, as his consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws), his Pastor should meet with him, instructing him about the Church’s teaching, informing him that he is not to present himself for Holy Communion until he brings to an end the objective situation of sin, and warning him that he will otherwise be denied the Eucharist.

6. When "these precautionary measures have not had their effect or in which they were not possible," and the person in question, with obstinate persistence, still presents himself to receive the Holy Eucharist, "the minister of Holy Communion must refuse to distribute it" (cf. Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts Declaration "Holy Communion and Divorced, Civilly Remarried Catholics" [2002], nos. 3-4). This decision, properly speaking, is not a sanction or a penalty. Nor is the minister of Holy Communion passing judgement on the person’s subjective guilt, but rather is reacting to the person’s public unworthiness to receive Holy Communion due to an objective situation of sin."

Spanish bishops heeded this letter on November 27, 2009 when, according to a LifeSite article, the Plenary Assembly of the Spanish Episcopal Conference issued a statement saying that politicians who vote for a proposed law liberalizing abortion in Spain place themselves in an "objective state of sin and, while the situation lasts, may not be admitted to Holy Communion."

Catholicism vs. Catholic American Politicians 2009

Asking only what is expected of them, the Catholic Church is finally holding accountable those Catholics in leadership roles, to show us their faith.

America was founded on Christian principles. It was what framed our laws we see today and has continued to frame them. From the deliverance from the totalitarian King of England, to the emancipation of the slaves, to the current struggle of ensuring life for children in the womb, Christian principles have and must prevail to keep our country strong and civil. The farther we veer from these principles the weaker we become and the more we shrink from human civility.

As Pope John Paul II phrased it:

"If there is no ultimate truth to guide and direct political activity, then ideas and convictions can easily be manipulated for reasons of power. As history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism."

- Pope John Paul II. Centesimus annus (May 5, 1991)

The article explains:

Richard Doerflinger, associate director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop' Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, said Monday that his group will "work with senators of both parties" to address their concerns. But his group blasted the Senate health bill on Friday, and Doerflinger said Monday that the conference will oppose it if their concerns are not met.

James Ch. 2:10-26:

"And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.

For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but shall kill, you art become a transgressor of the law.

. . .What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he has faith, but has not works? Shall faith be able to save him?

And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food: And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?

So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

But some man will say: You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without works; and I will show you, by works, my faith.

You believe that there is one God. You do well: the devils also believe and tremble.

But wilt you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar? See you, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.

Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith alone?

. . . For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead."

Sold Out: Political Corruption with Taxpayer Dollars Used to Purchase Health Reform Vote

Political Corruption Hits the American Taxpayer

Political corruption reaches deep into our pocketbooks to buy votes. We learned today from the Washington Post that
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), who contributed one of the 60 votes needed to keep the "health reform" legislation alive was given $300 million in extra federal money for her home state. She brazenly exclaimed, "I am not going to be defensive. And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."

Kathleen Sebelius to Defend Both Abortion AND Adoption

Another walking contradiction. Sebelius, a Roman Catholic vetoed pro-life abortion legislation in Kansas in 2003, 2005, 2006, and again in 2008 including a measure that would have required informing women who are considering an abortion about both the development of their unborn child and the alternatives to abortion. Yet, today we learn that she is championing adoption policies by celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Adoption Day. Well, which is it? Veto bills that inform women of abortion alternatives yet later on celebrate adoption when it's politically expedient? Will you support life or veto legislation that attempts to protect life? Apparently she wants it both ways. Sounding similar to Pontius Pilate style governing, Roman Catholic Sebelius both defends death and life by defending abortion and adoption. And here I thought that 'human enlightenment' had propelled the 'humanistic condition' to mature beyond 1st century rulers the likes of Pontius Pilate.

Why couldn't she just champion pro-life policies instead of vetoing every pro-life bill that came across her table? After all she was first a citizen of Catholicism before she became a citizen of Kansas. Her Archbishop said he hoped his meetings with her would make her understand the need “to take the difficult political step, but necessary moral step, of repudiating her past actions in support of legalized abortion” and also the need to extend “the maximum legal protection to the unborn children of Kansas.” In her last veto, the governor of Kansas ended it by scowling at pro-lifers in her veto message saying, “For years, the people of Kansas have asked their elected officials to move beyond legislative debates on issues like abortion.” Have the people of Kansas really asked that Sebelius? or do you just assume it since you won an election?

Apparently, Sebelius also has selective hearing. For years her Archbishop has likewise asked her to move beyond legislative debates on issues like abortion and finally become faithful to her true citizenship in heaven by enacting moral policies that defend the unborn. When Sebelius received the Sacrament of Confirmation she was elected first by God as a representative of His divine laws. Sacramental Confirmation is an indelible mark on the soul that swears an oath to God to uphold his principles, teachings, and the faith in all its forms. Sebelius, you were elected by God before the citizens of Kansas even heard of you. When you were baptized you were elected a citizen of Heaven - a country that existed long before Kansas was established. When will Roman Catholic Sebelius move beyond political self aggrandizement and live up to the sacramental vows made in Confirmation of defending the teachings of the Church? Whom do you serve, God or man?

But like Pilate, Sebelius admits to listening to the mob first before God. Like Pilate, she knows which strings will strike a chord with promoting her popularity in the political arena. She knows what to feed the angry mob to save herself. But we can be fair, Pilate probably acted out of fear of the angry pack before him, so we can assume that perhaps Sebelius is acting out of fear of the prowling pack looking to devour yet another faithful pro-life Catholic politician and continue embarrassing Roman Catholicism. She knows that the media will lap up her celebration of adoption along with any celebration of Roe v. Wade. Then she can breathe a sigh of relief, for she has deluded herself that is better to fear the world rather than God. She knows how to work the bloodthirsty pack and as long as she gives the world greater credence than she owes to God, then she's got it made in the liberal media today.

Sebelius further claims that she is 'personally opposed' but dares not force her morals on somebody else. Oh really? So if I'm a lawmaker back when the decision came to make rape illegal, which I am personally opposed to, should I have vetoed such a proposal because "I dare not impose my morals on another"? Of course not, that is, not unless I was a careerist politician and thought that I answered not to God, but to mob. Not unless I made a careful calculation of how it would look to the mob for my political advancement.

Sebelius didn't fool her Archbishop who stated “The governor has spoken to me on more than one occasion about her obligation to uphold state and federal laws and court decisions. I have asked her to show a similar sense of obligation to honor divine law". Rape was only repulsive to man's law only after and only because it was first repulsive to God's law. Slavery was legal for centuries even though divine law repudiated it. People considered slavery established precedent while they unjustly enslaved their fellowman until they were emancipated. Had slave owners and those who supported slavery listened to divine law, slavery could have ended much sooner. God's laws made it to the books only after man finally figured it out and accepted the truth in them. The same is true with abortion.

Meanwhile, for politicians to remain consistent, they cannot celebrate life on November 21, only to celebrate death on January 23.



For more on Archbishop Naumann of Kansas and the exchanges with Sebelius click here.

Archbishop Naumann:

"The Catholic Church views abortion as first and foremost a moral issue - not a religious or faith issue - because the sacredness of human life pertains to the natural law, which reveals the intrinsic rightness or wrongness of human acts through reason."
