Kirk Cameron, he who annoyed his fellow cast members on Growing Pains by making religion so obnoxious behind the scenes that he drove them away from religion as opposed drawing them to it, claimed recently that the pagan religions that predated Christianity had waited until Christianity was established so as to steal its rite and holy days.

Fox and Friends got all upset that President Obama cited a Biblical verse in his speech explaining his Executive Order on immigration. He apparently doesn’t have the right to quote the Bible if it makes the thumpers uncomfortable or it shows clearly that they are not always correct in how they represent religion..

Even though quoting selective and questionably translated Bible verses to support their opposition to people of whom they do not approve and programs they oppose either because it is a principled though warped religious interpretation of scripture, or simply an expedient way to fire up opposition to some things or support of others is their usual approach, they chose in this case to explain that Bible verses are not always exact, but, especially in this case, easily misused.

It’s as if they are realizing their religious claims may not have the strength they would hope, and are resorting to desperation to gain legitimacy.

Now, as another example of the desperation to have their version of Christianity promoted as the only religion for the United States, and the one that trumps all others, Texas has decide that in the next round of textbook revisions, Moses should be included as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America.

Ignoring all other realities, Texas will be teaching its children that the Founding Fathers based the Constitution on the Bible, and our system of democracy was inspired by Moses.

The vote to do this was done by a 10-5 vote of the heavily Republican Texas State Board of Education.

This follows the 2010 decision to have Texas social studies teachers emphasize America’s so called “Christian heritage.”

Because of the number of textbooks purchased by the state of Texas, decisions there influence what is included in textbooks made available to the rest of the country.

Because of the backdoor nature of the discussions that led to this decision, no one who might have some historical expertise was able to have a say or even review proposed changes to textbooks.

It’s also important that you only order medications that generic cialis online have been prescribed to you. Virtually, millions of men who are reported of having erectile dysfunction are prescribed free sample viagra by their health care providers if they notice any change in their life. Food and Drug Administration observed that viagra generico cialis (along with other PDE5 inhibitors) was related with vision impairment associated to NAION (non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy) in selected persons using these drugs in the competitive market in between, among which, some survived and other disappeared, but viagra, with its marvelous effect, successfully maintained to be survived. Vivallon International is generic levitra prices a very substantial pharmacy dropshipping firm. It’s like that House anti-EPA bill that allows industries who create pollution to have a major say in what the EPA can and will do to protect the environment while scientists are not allowed to quote any studies they may have had a part in.

Texas Freedom Network President Kathy Miller issued the following statement the day the textbook decision was made.:
“What we saw today shows very clearly that the process the State Board of Education uses to adopt textbooks is a sham. This board adopted textbooks with numerous late changes that the public had little opportunity to review and comment on and that even board members themselves admitted they had not read. They can’t honestly say they know what’s in these textbooks, which could be in classrooms for a decade.”

TFN also stated that the new textbooks also include passages that suggest Moses influenced the writing of the Constitution and that the roots of democracy can be found in the Old Testament.

Scholars know these statements are inaccurate and subjective.

This move is purely to give the impression that one group of people and one religion had a greater influence than it actually had.

It is not good education, but is, instead, the unfair and incorrect use of power to push a particular agenda, and to present false evidence after the fact to justify the predetermined stance that ours is a Christian nation.

If they have to go to such lengths to improperly teach children, it is pretty good evidence that the claim is wrong.

Moses is not the author of the democracy upon which this republic is formed.

There is actual evidence that much of what influenced the 13 Colonies when drafting the Articles of Confederation that was the basis for the Constitution was actually gleaned from the “Iroquois Confederacy” comprised of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora Nations.

It’s Native American Month. Check it out.

But you will note that Moses isn’t going to show up.

Makes total sense. Right?

science

Generally, just after the politician utters the words “I am not a scientist”, we get a big “but”, followed by the speaker rejecting something that a scientist, or any number of them have said.

“I am not a scientist”, but the theory of evolution is false

“I am not a scientist”, but climate change is a hoax.

“I am not a scientist”, but Ebola can be caught through just being in the same room with someone who has it.

“I am not scientist”, but I can reject the work of scientists because it does not agree with my preconceived ideas and what I want to believe.

“I am not a scientist”, but I will be in charge of the senate committee that deals with science.

And now, with the “I am not a scientist” declarers being in the majority in both houses in congress, science is going to take a big hit.

The GOP has already started.

In the House this week, H.R. 1422 passed 229-191. This bill will place restrictions on the Environmental Protection agency’s Advisory Board by limiting the number of scientists who can be on it, and increasing the number of industry experts who can, which is a little strange as the EPA usually protects us from the very industries that will now be able to craft the protections we need.

It was the brainchild of  Michal Burgess of Texas, a state that keeps having those embarrassing industrial accidents because no one inspects factories.

When it comes to the present structure of the board, Burgess claims it “excludes industry experts, but not officials for environmental advocacy groups”.

This is his term for scientists and those who accept their studies.

The very people whose industries cause pollution and environmental disasters will now be able to decide what will be allowed and banned when it comes to protecting the environment and what regulations need to be in place to guard against the disasters.

The value of natural anti-inflammatories cannot be overstated. viagra purchase canada
While industrial people can call on their biased expertise on the board to support what they put forward, the bill forbids scientists from being part of any action that is based on their own peer reviewed scientific work.

Scientists cannot reference their own research.

But according to the Union of Concerned Scientists director Andrew A. Rosenberg, “In other words, academic scientists who know the most about a subject can’t weigh in, but experts paid by corporations who want to block regulations can.”

Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, a state that accepts science, told the bill’s sponsor on the House floor, “I get it, you don’t like science. And you don’t like science that interferes with the interests of your corporate clients. But we need science to protect public health and the environment.”

But as we too often see, it would appear the GOP in Washington has forgotten they are supposed to represent and protect the American people, and not sacrifice that to the profits of corporations.

But money talks.

Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, a Texas Democrat, believes this bill and two others related to it represent “the culmination of one of the most anti-science and anti-health campaigns I’ve witnessed in my 22 years as a member of Congress.”

California Representative Mike Honda wrote a letter to the Huffington Post stating, “The bill attacks the mainstays of scientific investigation. It would strip away the EPA’s authority to make any rules due to the stringency of the data disclosure requirements. The peer review process is the foundation of science inquiry in our society, and is a trusted evaluation of scientific evidence around the world. This legislation attempts to dictate how the scientific method is employed”.

The head of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee’s subcommittee on the environment which authored the bill is David Schweikert, a climate change denier.

However, even as the GOP bill claims its main reason for being is to ensure that scientific reports are transparent enough to be judged by those who readily declare “I am not a scientist” because the scientists cannot be trusted and their science not believed even after extensive peer review, according to Ellen Silbergeld, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, this same stringent requirement to have their work reviewed is not required of industry.

And we know the industries that could have negative effect on the environment would never misrepresent the truth for their own advantage.

And I don’t even have to mention Senator Jim Inhofe when it comes to science and his position in Washington when it comes to it.

Science is about to become the enemy in Washington.

Big day for Immigration reform

executive order

HEY, THAT’S DOING SOMETHING RELATED TO IMMIGRATION.

During the time that congress could have been working on immigration reform, they frittered away their time  preventing bills that would have helped the American people, dealing with women’s bodies, acting as the moral authority over U.S. citizens, making sure that corporations would not lose any power over the government while keeping any monetary advantage they might have, and getting new ones that they hadn’t yet, and attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act over 50 times.

And now, after having done nothing, and seeing that the president is about to take action, the GOP is complaining that they have not been given time to do what they should have been doing.

They are upset that in the spirit of their sainted Ronald Reagan, as well as the lesser revered Bushes, President Obama is going to issue an Executive Order on immigration.

At the end of the French and Indian War, a name which conveniently leaves out the British, the leaders of two countries on another continent, France and England, divided up the Eastern part of the American continent for their own benefit without including the Native Americans in any discussions as if they just weren’t here.

And now, 251 years later in 2014, two entities, a Canadian oil company and politicians in Washington, have decided for their own benefit that the Keystone XL Pipeline will go through the land belonging to the Lakota Sioux, making this decision with no input from the tribe whose sovereignty they choose to ignore.

President Obama nominated Antonio Weiss, a Wall Street investment banker, to be Treasury Undersecretary for Domestic Finance, and my senator, Elizabeth Warren, is not happy.

I recently saw her speak on Cape Cod. I had a real good, almost next to her seat, and she was impressive. She was impressive not only because of what she said and how she said it, but also because she reiterated she was for the middle class and the working poor whom she represents, and not for those who can buy what they want from the crowd in Washington, or for the crowd in Washington itself.

In true form, Warren objects to Obama’s appointee because, among other things, he is the guy who advised Burger King on that Tax inversion business when it decided to become a Canadian company to avoid U.S. taxes while it pays its employees at a rate that requires that many get public assistance to make ends meet.

Like with Walmart, even if you don’t use BK’s products, they still make money off you as a taxpayer as you are paying the difference between what their employees make and what they need to actually have a life while the corporation just scoops up profits from that arrangement.

According to a member of her staff, “She is a no on Antonio Weiss. She was a Treasury official herself, she cares a lot about who is in the domestic finance role. It oversees Dodd-Frank implementation and other core economic policy-making.”

And, oddly, her objection to handing the keys to the drug cabinet to the addict has put her on the same side of things as Senator Grassley who also finds it unacceptable that Obama seems to have a penchant for appointing people from Wall Street who obviously have their own motivation for doing things and their own view what this country is about, and it’s not the middle class, or what’s left of it.

In contrast to Warren’s objections Wall Street executives were thrilled with Weiss’ nomination.

I wonder why.

Stop giving us what we demand, already

Every time President Obama gives the GOP what they want, they freak out.

Either they ask for things they really do not want, hoping that when the president does not deliver they can complain about his lack of bipartisan cooperation, or they just get upset that when he delivers they have to deal with the results and share the blame if the thing they pretended to want was a disaster just waiting to happen.

They wanted certain things taken out of, and added to the Affordable Care Act, but when they got them they tried over 50 times to repeal the ACA because those things were in it.

They wanted decisive actions taken in places like Libya, and when they got them, they complained about violations of protocol. Same goes with Syria.

So, as if on cue, when Obama went along with certain climate things that they had previously wanted, the GOP went nuts that he went along with those things.

Marco Rubio, as recently as this past May, objected to the United States trying to do anything about greenhouse gas emissions because China, a major emitter, was doing nothing. Now that China is going to do something, Rubio may have to go along with proposals about U.S. gas emission reduction, or find some way to object based on a new reason.

Now what will those who also claimed that until China decided to do something, people like John Boehner, Jim Inhofe, Michelle Bachmann, Jim DeMint, and John Barrasso, do now that they have gotten what they wanted?

President Obama apparently heard their objection and addressed it.

Oh, except for Mitch McConnell who had consistently objected to anything that affected coal since his father-in-law makes money shipping coal around the world, and makes millions of dollars available to Mitch, and cocaine if he wants it.

The United States and China agreed to deal with climate change, and Mitch called it a “war on coal” because both countries agreed to reduce carbon emissions, with the United States agreeing to reach a 28% level below that of 2005 by 2025, and China agreeing to reduce its carbon emissions by getting 20% of its energy from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030.

Mitch also is upset the agreement leaves out some sort of working with a GOP that supports fossil fuel, something that would obviously be a formulaic waste of time as the GOP got what it had been demanding.

China has a deadline of 2030 to clean up its horrible, carbon filled atmosphere, but that does not mean they have to wait until 2030 to do it.

China had already invested $56.3 billion on renewable projects in 2013.

“Twenty percent does sound fairly robust,” Jake Schmidt, director of the international program at the Natural Resources Defense Council told the New York Times. “You’re talking about 20 percent of a huge economy being based on non-carbon-dioxide emissions sources. That’s significant.”

House Speaker John Boehner believes that the plan is “the latest example of the president’s crusade against affordable, reliable energy that is already hurting jobs and squeezing middle-class families.”

Climate denier, Senator Jim Inhofe, was a little confusing in his response since, according to him, the agreement is too ambitious on China’s end, yet not ambitious enough.

Inhofe called it a “non-binding charade” and cast doubt on whether China would be able to meet its commitments.

So I guess there isn’t a point in even trying?

Wouldn’t the effort alone, even if not 100% successful still mean there was some movement?

“It’s hollow and not believable for China to claim it will shift 20 percent of its energy to non-fossil fuels by 2030, and a promise to peak its carbon emissions only allows the world’s largest economy to buy time. China builds a coal-fired power plant every 10 days, is the largest importer of coal in the world, and has no known reserves of natural gas.”

This week the guys in DC will be dealing with Keystone.

Lots of bills like those related to the middle class, jobs, and veterans have yet to be dealt with, but the House voted for the Keystone XL pipeline right away when they returned after the elections.

I guess they had to pay their debt to those who paid to get them elected.

And seeing how dumb the electorate was by handing them a mandate with 51% of the 33% percent who voted, the GOP seems to think they can fool the American people by saying that Canadian tar sands oil is a domestic product.
