Obama: Constitution Reflects Fundamental Flaw of America, Wealth Should be Redistributed

This is from a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview.  Obama is saying outright that wealth should be redistributed.  Unfortunately, the more and more I hear from former interviews, the more I think he’s more of a Socialist than a Democrat (please realize that I’m saying that as a definition of his views, not an inflammatory slur statement).

I’m sorry, but redistribution of wealth should not be a function of a Capitalist country.  Obama’s demeanor in the interview is very matter-of-fact.  He has no doubt in his voice that redistribution of wealth should be done.  I must admit that this is even more frightening than his comments to Joe the Plumber.

On the plus side, he did say that such changes should be made legislatively and not through the courts.  Not very reassuring to me, but at least it’s something positive.

Where’d the Global Warming Go?

The National Post put up an article pointing out that the warming over the past 30 years has disappeared in the past 3 years.  Evidence continues to mount that things such as the sun (sunspots in particular) and the ocean are what affect the climate, not manmade global emissions.

The cause for alarm in global warming that I’ve seen over and over again is the rapid increase in global temperatures.  We now have a decrease that is 10 times more rapid.  Shouldn’t we be 10 times as alarmed that global temperature is declining?

The climate has been changing since the start of this planet.  Yes, the Medieval Warming Period did really exist.  And no, they weren’t driving SUV’s around back then.  There are more powerful things in this universe than man.

Perhaps this is the time for more analysis into climate change.  Real analysis, not analysis based on speculation and faulty assumptions.  The science has been lost to the politics.  “We must act now” has replaced the scientific method.  While one expert says the warming won’t stop, another says there is a potential of a 30 year cooling period.  When someone starts yelling that the debate is over, you know it isn’t.
