article published on 10 January, 2009
Earlier this week US President Elect Barrack Obama announced his selections for some key positions at the Department of Justice. One of the names on his list drew a lot of attention among people who have been watching the RIAA's lawsuit campaign against file sharers.That's because his choice for Associate Attorney General happens to be a long time RIAA lawyer who has worked on some of their ...

Remember, even greatest Presidents in history were mocked all the time in office. The truth of it is no one is smart enough to know how good a president is until 15-20 yrs after they are out.
Remember Obama like most presidents are politicians. The last non politician we had was Ike in the 50s. He sucked as a president because he wasn't slippery enough to out - fox the congress and senate.

funny, those are the 2 reasons why I think he's great. By the way, you forgot to add his belief in climate change and better access to healthcare....I'm assuming you're against those things as well.
1. Stem Cell can be done with out killing babies- no problems with that.
2. I thought it was 'Global Warming'? Oh that's right, the scientific community can not agree on weak scientific facts so we have to call it something else because the empirical data does not back it up. Most of our meterorologists can't even predict the next 24 hours accurately for snow/rain. They can't strongarm the true scientists who won't play the fascist fearmongering with that piece of contrived crap.
3. Better access to healthcare. Hahahahahah. I've got three letters to sum up when the government gets involved in something for you- T.S.A. The last thing anyone should want is our government handling healthcare. It's accessible and it's the best on the planet. I.E. Canada and England have socialized healthcare and the people that can, come here to get well. Otherwise, if it costs too much, your going to die sucker. Unless of course you want to get your healthcare in Cuba. Now there is some cutting edge medical research going on there baby.
4. RIAA lawyers in the Dept. of Justice. Wow! Now isn't that an oxymoron. They should be able to wipe ALL of the 'fair-use' clauses out now that they are right there on site. Wait until the jackboots kick in your door for ripping 'The Dark Knight' off your new BlueRay 10 minutes after you've finished. WTF?!
I wish Obama all the best of luck, he's going to need it to lead the sorry bunch of media brainwashed idiots we got around here.
Good luck with all that blue, red, purple-gay $#!^ you indocrinated-lazy-socialist-tards.

i got a question for you KapKirk. its a simple one really. did you sign up to Afterdawn just to post your rant?
Stem cell research can be a bloody nightmare, or a cure.
killing babies in an already overpopulated world, its not such a bad idea. orphanages are already full to the brim. if you don't want dead babies don't drop your trousers to every tom dick and hairy.
and Forget the fact he worked for the RIAA, Whats that make him still the lying for trust and justice they all bring to there clients.
yeah, he'll need it.
Don't dis the colors, if you don't like them thats too dame bad why don't you go back to your own country if there really that bad.

The scientific community is in agreement that the CO2 is way up. In the last 50 year the CO2 has risen 10 times faster than it did the previous 50 years. CO2 concentration and the sun's strength are the two most powerful forces that shape how hot the earth is. They are not in agreement with the exact details of how severe the effect will be. Some sientists believe we may see a decrease in the sun's heat like the ones that produced the ice ages. The sun's strength is not constant. There are other factors that effect global heat as well. Still 9 out of 10 of the hottest years for the last 100 were in the last 10. It would take a indocrinated-lazy-tard to laugh that one off to just chance.

1) Xenophobia : did we not see how the conservatives, or anybody who disagreed with the messiah obama was the enomy that must be defeated?
2) natoinalism : did we not see how the nationalism turned into globalism? did we not see his majesty campaigning for president of the world in europe? did we not see the turn to nationalism just before the election in a last ditch grab for votes?
These, however, are not the main points. It's the lies and mirror syndrome (this 'hope and change' that is whatever YOU want it to be) coupled with incredible charisma for the sole purpose of gaining power and serving himself that I compare obama to hitler.

I pledge to serve the president?!?!?!?!?!
Since when do the people serve the man? Is it not the job of the position of office to serve the people? Did I read the wrong constitution?
Come on sheep, time to wake up while we can. you're not going to like it when you wake up in the new world, and find out that obama is not in fact the messiah.
Oh, and Global Warming?! Um, actually, the temperature has gone DOWN the last 10 years. Did we not see these records set all over the earth this year for COLD!
And as if the meager 1/100th of 1% of co2 that we contribute to the atmosphere makes a difference. Especially when 0.03% of the atmosphere is c02 anyways. Lets also just ignore that every year volcanos put out a thousand times more co2, sulpher, etc than man does. Let's also ignore that the ocean leaks out 1000 times more methane than we and our animals make. Lets also ignore that every year 6 times more crude oil seeps into the sea naturally than all of our tanker and oil spills combined.
Sure, I suppose I'm willing to destroy the american and world economy and pay trillions a year more in taxes to save the earth from this man made global warming. After all, the prophet al gore says its true, and silences any dissent

Tarsellis, global warming is not like religion where you can just make things up to suit your self. CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by over 30% since 1700. That is a far cry from meager 1/100th of 1%.
Did you get that info from a complete moron or did you just make it up because you assume the world is a stupid and as uninformed as you?
You must have gotten this from that same source.

As for Obama, he DOES make me nervous but the US has been going downhill since the 50s, I'll give him 4 years. He can?t do much worse than Bush. The war with Iraq was a world class blunder. Even though Saddam Hussein was a truly evil man, he stabilized that part of the world by constantly waging war with Iran. Getting rid of him was the biggest blunder a president has made since WWII. In that part of the world they appear to be consumed with so much hate they have to be killing someone. Iran and Iraq balanced one another. Iran has no counter balance. I assume they will make atomic bombs and they will be set off in the US. Thanks GWB!
Now someone else has to deal with Iran. I certainly hope there can be piece in the Middle East but I do not expect to see it any time soon.
Oh, by the way you ought to look up the meaning of xenophobia. It means the fear of outsiders. It has nothing to do with the echonomy or Obama unless you figure he is a Foreigner. He couldn't be one and be president. That is the law! Oh thats right, you make up EVERYTHING as you go along! What do YOU think xenophobia means?

Thanks for posting the articles I miss-judged you but it looks like you read some propaganda. I really thought you were nuts. I don?t now. Any smart person without a scientific background could be taken in by some of that malarkey. I can?t understand why someone would write trash like that but why do persons refute evolution. If you can ?prove that? you can ?prove? anything.
I read all the articles to be fair. I can?t rightly argue with out reading them. The first article was a bunch of double talk. CO2 changes the reflectivity of infrared or heat waves. It acts just like glass that reflects hence the name greenhouse effect. The article claims it can?t be a green house because there is no physical barrier. The barrier is only part of why green houses are so warm. The other part is glass does not reflect visible light but reflects infrared (heat) waves. That article is like claiming breathing is bad for your health because no one can live after breathing for 150 years. The truth is you will die if you don?t breath much faster than that.
The third drew faulty assumptions from valid info.
The second and last did have their fact straight and did not make any miss statements I could catch not that I am all that much of an expert.

The reality is, the energy from the sun is the most powerful force heating the earth. The heat is not always constant. We know there have been ice ages and mini ice ages. These have been due to the reduction of the sun?s energy. Just because the world was colder does not mean the greenhouse effect is bunk. The greenhouse effect still kept us warmer than if the CO2 levels were at 1700 concentration. This year the greenhouse effect was helpful. If we are going into another ice age the greenhouse effect will literally be a life safer. We may want to burn up more fossile fuel in that case.
The reality is, man does not have as much control on his environment as many of us think.
It is good debating with you.

I dont usually post things here but "climate change"? It takes a big headed liberal to suggest that they can predict our climate when they cant even tell when its going to snow or not snow a few days in advance much less predicting the demise of Earth!
And better access to health care, surely you jest! We have the best system in the world and you want to make a welfare state of it?
Get a grip all of you kool-aid drinkers before it is too late!

Good point Ken. I am just about 'talked out'. I do like to take the other side and defend the 'idiots' if I feel like it.
Predicting snow would seem to be easy but it is not since extreme cold does not allow for moisture in the air. A good snow fall usually occures at about the freezing point. Snowfall actually heats the air since creating ice from water vapor releases heat. The more is snows the warmer the air. This would be in fractions of a degree not in degrees. Still, snow can sabotage itsself.
Predicting climate change is actually easier as long as only one factor, the CO2 contant changes. The heat from the sun has been fairly constant for centuries. The last time there was a major change was during the reign of Henry the VIII. That was short lived. The English channel froze. It is pretty safe to assume that the sun's heat would continue to hold steady. Anytime you assume something you are taking a risk however small. I am assuming that is why there was a drop in temperature this year.
I guess there is some arrogance being so sure of your self. I think the weather is a safer bet than health insurance. What scares me even more, is making multiple major changes to the US at once. That scares me a great deal.

I re-read the valid articles. They were just more clever propaganda. For instance, yes, last year was the coldest year in the decade. However, what was not stated is it was still one of the hottest years in the century. It was only that the rest of the decade was so hot that 2008 looked cold in comparison.
Here is information that appears to be neutral. Their temperature chart starts at 1850 not 2007. That alone is an eye opener unless you believe the World Meteorological Organization is out to destroy the world by tricking us into burning less fossile fuel. If you think that, what would be their motive?
