They are a conservative group whose purpose is to debunk Global Warming and the affects of Tobacco. <br />Here is what wiki said:<br />"In April 2008, environmental journalist Richard Littlemore wrote that the Heartland Institute's list of "500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares"[10] included at least 45 scientists who neither knew of their inclusion as "coauthors" of the article, nor agreed with its claims regarding global warming.

At a Climate Change conference sponsored bythe Heartland Institute, more than 700 scientists from all over the world came together to testify that man-made global warming does not exist.<br /><br />This is interesting because I believe to the contrary -- i.e. man contributes such a load of greenhouse gases that there is no way it cannot effect climate.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-80067369276764896212009-04-19T12:33:00.000-05:002009-04-19T12:33:00.000-05:00Dee wrote, "If you were so concerned about your ch...Dee wrote, "If you were so concerned about your children, you would have been protesting the wrongful war in Iraq, the deregulation of banking/business and the Trillions of debt to China we incurred over the last 8 years.

If your memory was better, you would know that. There are probably very few people in the U.S. who favor shipping our jobs to China and India and continuing to buy oil from the Middle East and Venezuela with money borrowed from the Chinese. Where is your outrage about the Neolibs failure to exploit all of our domestic oil resources, not as the final solution but as a money saving bridge to the alternate energy future? Somehow I have a hard time visualizing an airplane flying through the sky with a full load of passengers using solar or wind energy or any other alternative form of energy. There was plenty of invective from the left wing and plenty of criticism by Republicans when Bush was in office. But then you knew that and just found it convenient to overlook them as an inconvenient truth.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-5216315365757699092009-04-19T12:22:00.000-05:002009-04-19T12:22:00.000-05:00If anyone is interested in the remarkable parallel...If anyone is interested in the remarkable parallels between Obama and Hitler, <A HREF="http://obama-ultimablogspotcom.blog.com" REL="nofollow">see Guess Who</A> in the archive for March 11, 2009.ultimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624967903736347171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-43645514066161883742009-04-19T12:03:00.000-05:002009-04-19T12:03:00.000-05:00The Arizonian has the most rational and objective ...The Arizonian has the most rational and objective view of all this. Dee, in her criticism of Gov. Perry, illustrates that she also is willing to "hate" but still objects when anyone else, like the TEA party participants, use strong language to express their disapproval of Obama.<br /><br />The marches and street demonstrations against real immigration reform were another example of the right of citizens to express their views in whatever language they choose.<br /><br />There is much about the Obama a Administration that we all should be worried about. So far no one expects that he will begin pogroms against caucasians and open concentration camps for those who disagree with him but otherwise there is a remarkable parallel between other evil but charismatic leaders of the past. The more worrisome aspects of his administration is that he is too inexperienced to really be able to solve the nation's problems.

The 2001 document "prejudges key issues that can only be resolved in negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians," the statement said.<br /><br />Disagreements over the Middle East and slavery that year had threatened to derail the conference goal of creating a global blueprint for fighting discrimination.
