ICE Age Is Here Says Geophysicist, Global Warming Hoax Exposed…Again
This is yet another nail in the coffin for the climate cultists and more proof that freezing temps worldwide will lead to a dramatic rise in food prices.
Food prices ARE rising yet major food corporations do not want to be the first to raise prices so dramatically so consumers have not seen as much of an increase.

Twenty-five Democratic State Legislators Have Switched to GOP
examinerGOPAC chairman Frank Donatelli just sent out a press release crowing that 25 Democratic legislators have now switched parties and become Republican.
"We are pleased with the decision of these men and women to leave the Democratic Party and join with us. They are adding to the ranks of Americans who want to put result-oriented ideas into action to get us moving in the right direction. Each of these legislators’ insight, experience, and commitment to common-sense, conservative policies will make our Party stronger," Donatelli said.
Note that when Lousiana's Representative Noble Ellington switched parties a short time ago it actually gave Republicans control of the state legislature for the first time since the Reconstruction. Here's the full list of legislators that have switched:

LaBarbera: EEOC should keep an eye on new appointee
Amplify’d from www.onenewsnow.com
The Senate has confirmed another controversial appointee to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and one conservative leader is warning that her new position could present a problem.
Chai R. Feldblum, an open homosexual, was one of President Obama's four nominations to the commission. Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) president Peter LaBarbera points out why her long-pending selection could be a problem.
"I don't think the typical American has any clue who Chai Feldblum is, but they need to know because she is a leading homosexual advocate, and she admits that homosexual rights, so-called, will come at the expense of religious freedom," LaBarbera explains.He says the appointee taught law at Georgetown University and "was one of the authors of ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which is a bill which would federalize homosexual activist rights." But the AFTAH president adds that Feldblum "is honest enough to admit that there is a zero-sum game battle between gay rights, so-called, and people's religious freedom to disagree with homosexuality."
Feldblum believes homosexuals should win that battle, so LaBarbera feels her appointment should show others why homosexual activism is at the vanguard of threatening freedoms for religious Americans. He also thinks her work at the federal agency should be watched closely, especially considering it is a government organization that watches over discrimination complaints.

New military policy compromising careers
Amplify’d from www.onenewsnow.com
An advocate for America's fighting men and women says the repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving in the military will effectively create a new type of "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military.
In the months leading up to President Barack Obama signing the bill and fulfilling his campaign pledge to activist homosexual groups, many service members said they would not remain in uniform if that lifestyle was foisted upon the military. In fact, an Army National Guard lieutenant colonel recently told WorldNetDaily that he has already sent a letter asking to be relieved of his command so that he will not have to subject his troops to pro-homosexual indoctrination. He has also threatened to resign his commission, rather than undergo "behavior modification" training.
"The lesbian, gay, bisexual [and] transgender access to the armed forces with zero tolerance of dissent will be a major reason why some decisions will be made, especially in the mid-career ranks, by families and by individuals to just not re-enlist," warns Center for Military Readiness (CMR) president Elaine Donnelly.
She says a new type of "don't ask, don't tell" policy is now in effect, "because anyone who has a problem with what is portrayed to them and taught to them as a good thing -- homosexuality -- they will have to keep their views to themselves. And that principle may very well apply to chaplains and certainly people of faith in a way that's far beyond what anyone understands at this moment."
Donnelly adds that any service member's career could be put at risk if he or she says anything in opposition to homosexuals in the military.

Politically correct phrase legally incorrect
Amplify’d from www.onenewsnow.com
A "classic effort in propaganda" is how an immigration reform activist views a journalism society's push for the use of politically correct language in news stories concerning illegal immigration.
In its organization's magazine, Quill, the diversity committee of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) lambasts the use of the phrase "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien" and calls on journalists to use the more politically correct "undocumented immigrants" or "undocumented workers" when reporting on the issue.
The article, written by a longtime member of the SPJ Diversity Committee, claims the descriptor "illegal alien" originated with "fiery, anti-immigrant groups" along the U.S.-Mexico border, such as the Minutemen, and is offensive to Latinos, "especially Mexicans." [Editor's note: Most border enforcement groups speak against illegal immigration, not immigration in general.]Despite the SPJ's campaign, many mainstream journalists employ the word "illegal," and even Associated Press prefers the phrase "illegal immigrant" to "undocumented worker" in its official stylebook.
"This is a classic effort in propaganda. The people who control language often control the agenda, and if you go back and you look through history movements that have looked to control the terms of a debate, they often start with trying to control the language that's used," notes Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
"There's nothing pejorative about using the term 'illegal alien.' An alien, according to the law, is the legal definition of somebody who is not a citizen of the United States. Somebody who is not a citizen of the United States and is here in violation of the law, that legal term is 'illegal alien.'"
So Mehlman does not think the SPJ's effort to "inform and sensitize" reporters will have much of an effect one way or another.
A disclaimer on the op-ed says it does not reflect the views of the Society of Professional Journalists, its members, or the committee -- and that the committee has taken no official initiative on use of the phrase "illegal immigrant."

Texas-based Planned Parenthood affiliate is leaving federation because it doesn't want to perform abortions
Amplify’d from www.onenewsnow.com
A Texas-based Planned Parenthood affiliate is leaving the national federation because it doesn't want to perform abortions.
After the Corpus Christi chapter was told that national Planned Parenthood officials were working to standardize their operations, which included a requirement for all affiliates to offer abortions, CEO Amanda Stukenberg told them her chapter focused solely on contraception and birth control, and she has notified the national office that it will change its name to Family Planning of the Coastal Bend. Dr. Joe Pojman of the Texas Alliance for Life is delighted with the news.
"What we're seeing in Corpus Christi is a local Planned Parenthood affiliate which has disaffiliated itself from the national organization because of the national organization's commitment to force them to provide abortions -- something they don't want to do," he explains.
He goes on to point out that this is not the first time evidence has surfaced to reveal that Planned Parenthood's main focus is abortion, as it is the most lucrative part of the clinic's operations.
"This is very consistent with what Abby Johnson, the former director of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Bryan, Texas, has been telling us -- that Planned Parenthood has a national campaign to force every local organization that's affiliated with Planned Parenthood to provide abortion on demand," Pojman adds.
When Johnson resigned from her position at Planned Parenthood, she confirmed that abortion is a cash cow, and Pojman says the organization is promoting the practice as a way to pump up revenue. In fact, according to Planned Parenthood's own figures from 2007, prenatal care and adoption referrals only composed five percent of the clinic's total services, while abortions accounted for 95 percent.

Op-ed piece on warming a 'bundle' of lies
Amplify’d from www.onenewsnow.com
A climatologist and former NASA scientist says a recent op-ed claiming global warming is responsible for cold weather isn't true.
Dr. Roy Spencer is disputing Judah Cohen's claim made in his New York Times op-ed, "Bundle Up, It's Global Warming," that global warming is responsible for the winters of recent years and for this year's extreme winter weather experienced by parts of the U.S, Europe, and Asia.
"The consensus of opinion, even amongst those who believe that man-made global warming is going to be a serious problem, is that winters will be warmer with less snow," Dr. Spencer notes. "In reference to this New York Times op-ed that was written by this fellow, while he said it was consistent with climate change, he then talked only about natural climate cycles, which is curious."
In other words, he decides the article is "a non-sequitur."
"While [Cohen] said this is consistent with climate change, the rest of his article talked about natural climate variability -- not man-made global warming," the climatologist points out.While Spencer believes the globe has warmed, he also believes the question of how much and why remains up for debate. And he says that even if warming has continued over the last 50 to 100 years, "we have evidence from temperature data that suggests that almost every century in the last 2,000 years has experienced significant global warming or global cooling."
As for the recent cold weather, Spencer says the U.K.'s cold December has been caused by the persistent influx of eastern air, which he acknowledges as a "very unusual" weather pattern.
"When there is unusually cold air moving from Siberia to the U.K., for instance, that means there is unusually warm air someplace else that is replacing that cold air in portions of Siberia," he explains. "It's just air masses moving around."
The climatologist recently appeared at a U.N. Climate Conference to challenge so-called "climate orthodoxy" on behalf of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), where he says his group was successful in swaying the opinions of delegates from African nations, who seemed "interested in what we were promoting, which is free market economics and smart use of natural resources."
Despite the positive impact, the former NASA scientist does not see a complete change in opinion on global warming in the near future.
"There seems to be a very interesting dynamic forming in this whole global warming belief system. The public is getting more and more skeptical, but the ruling class, I'll call them the 'elites' -- the politicians [and] the scientists who do all this research as part of their careers -- they're continuing on with their belief that warming is man-made, that it's going to be even worse in the future, and they are totally impervious to what's going on in public opinion."
So he concludes "the elites" will continue working to gain support for that opinion as long as they continue getting funding.

Remember the Sabbath! It is a Delight!
Think about it, if someone who knew nothing about the Bible was stranded on a deserted island with only the Bible to read, he'd never know a thing about the thousands of years of man's traditions that have grown up to obscure the Truth in the Bible. This castaway would learn about the Sabbath of God, and He would be happy to have such a blessing in such a lonely world. He would do his very best to figure out exactly WHEN was the seventh day, the Sabbath!
