Ultra-liberal professor’s vulgar rant disrupts college Republican meeting

Reported by Fox News on 2013-09-19

From that great bastion of academic freedom known as Temple University comes another example of a liberal professor bullying conservative students with a bevy of F-bombs… Joseph Schwartz, a political science professor [and] card-carrying Democratic Socialist … along with a handful of his followers, took over a right-to-work discussion hosted by Temple’s College Republicans…

I try to avoid personal attacks, but sometimes it’s impossible, so here goes: “Professor” Joseph Schwartz is an imbecile. First of all, because he is a Socialist, second, because he opposes right-to-work laws, and third, because he doesn’t have a shred of decency or courtesy. If I was President of Temple University he’d be looking for a new job.

Student suspended 10 days for accidentally bringing pocket knife to football game

Reported by TribLive.com on 2013-09-18

A 16-year-old boy was suspended this week for reporting to a security guard at a Friday night football game that he had a pocket knife with him. [He] was asked to leave the game immediately… On Monday, he was handed a 10-day out-of-school suspension.

Ridiculous. The security guard should have simply escorted the young man to the gate so the knife could be put in his car or brought home, and then he should have allowed the boy to return to the game. Instead, he reported him to the principal, who committed the second injustice, giving the boy a suspension. A zero tolerance policy? I have zero tolerance for idiotic zero tolerance policies.

Threat of man-made global warming greatly exaggerated, new study

Reported By Fox News on 2013-09-18 

 A peer-reviewed climate change study released Wednesday by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change finds the threat of man-made global warming to be not only greatly exaggerated but so small as to be ’embedded within the background variability of the natural climate system’ and not dangerous…. ‘Point to the model that predicted this hiatus,’ one of the authors said. ‘No increase in violent weather , no increase in hurricanes. All of this and we’re still supposed to believe the models… models they picked because they supported their political interests, not because they represented good science.’

Climate models wildly overestimated global warming, study finds

Reported By Fox News on 2013-09-12 

“A new study in the journal Nature Climate Change compared 117 climate predictions made in the 1990’s to the actual amount of warming. Out of 117 predictions … three were roughly accurate and 114 overestimated the amount of warming. On average, the predictions forecasted two times more global warming than actually occurred.”

Pregnant woman scares off home intruders

“She heard a man banging loudly on her front door while another walked around to the back….  her husband had just left 20 minutes before. Immediately, she knew something wasn’t right and made the split decision to grab her husband’s handgun…. She’s never felt comfortable with the idea of using a gun. Her husband insisted on showing her how to use one just a few months ago…. Once the men realized Alex was armed and ready to defend her home, they ran back towards their truck….”

Faith in Nothing

Perhaps the most famous definition of faith is given by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Hebrews: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

Of course Paul is referring to faith in God, and in His Son Jesus Christ. To believe in Them, and in Their promises, requires a measure of faith.

To not believe in God, and to go so far as to deny His existence, that too requires a measure of faith — indeed, a tremendous measure of faith in nothing.

For that is what atheism is: Faith in nothing.

Hurricane season a dud despite dire predictions

Reported By www.usatoday.com on 2013-09-07 

 “The preseason predictions were all dire, using words like ‘extremely active’ and ‘above-normal’ to describe the forecast for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season…. However, the season so far has been a welcome if unexpected dud, with not a single hurricane yet through the first week of September…. In fact, the season is about to enter record territory for its unusual lack of hurricanes….”

Carbon tax backfires big-time in Australia

Reported By The Blaze on 2013-09-06 

 “The ruling Labor Party’s probable collapse in Australia’s next election is largely the consequence of its qualified success in the last one three years ago. To form the coalition she needed to stay in power, then-Prime Minister Julia Gillard reneged on a promise and agreed to place a carbon tax on major polluters. On Saturday, the bill for that bargain comes due. Voters have never stopped hating the tax and its effect on their electric bills. Longtime Labor Party supporters

even people who have helped cut pollution by installing solar panels at home

have flocked to the opposition….”

Woman pulls gun, fends off carjackers

Reported By Fox News on 2013-09-05

“An Indianapolis woman was able to fend off a group of guys who pulled a gun on her while trying to steal her car. Kari Bird just started law school and continues to work full time. Bird got home at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and when she got out of her car, a group of three or four young guys approached her [and demanded her keys at gunpoint]…. With [their] gun still pointed at her, she reached into her center console to pull out her own gun….”
