Good jobs, green jobs
Speech by UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner at the Good Jobs, Green Jobs conference
Washington DC, 4 February 2009 - I would like to thank, and congratulate, the diverse group of sponsors and funders that made this conference possible.
Particularly, I would like to thank key organizers, including:
- Dave Foster and the Blue Green Alliance
- Leo Gerard and the United Steelworkers
- The Sierra Club, including the hard work of Margrete Strand Rangnes
I would also like to thank Donald Kennedy, Chair of the Sierra Club's Climate Recovery Partnership for his introduction.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Let me first say how delighted I am to be here in Washington DC literally days after watching on TV - like hundreds of millions around the world - the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States.
The UN Environment Programme, of which I am the Executive Director, has its global headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya.
I mention this for two reasons.
Firstly, because we are one of only two UN agencies headquartered in the developing world.
It perhaps gives us a different, if not even a unique, perspective on world affairs.
We are confronted daily by the evidence of inextricable links between environmental degradation and poverty, unemployment and other keenly felt economic, social and ecological factors.
Secondly, because President Obama's father was, as I am sure you know, Kenyan and his election has meant so much to the people of East Africa not least to many of the staff at UNEP.
The Multiple Challenges Now and in the Near Future
The world, including the United States, is going through one of the most challenging moments in its history.
But some economies and some world leaders are committed to turn crisis into opportunity and to show leadership during grim economic times.
President Obama has signalled by word and also by recent deeds to want to do just that and in doing so to re-establish US leadership at home and abroad across a suite of compelling, contemporary issues.
It could not come a moment too soon.
The year 2008 was marked by the food crisis, the fuel crisis and the financial crisis which has translated itself into a full-scale global economic crisis.
And, ladies and gentlemen, there are more to come.
President Obama has talked about a 'planet in peril'.
Climate change is accelerating and, unless checked, promises to be the greatest market failure of all time.
It has serious and significant implications for employment and economic activity now and throughout this and the next century.
With serious ramifications too for poverty, health and the natural or nature-based services that underpin lives and livelihoods in the developed but especially the developing economies.
Sir Nicholas Stern, on behalf of the UK Government has estimated that global GDP could be cut annually by five per cent and perhaps as much as 20 per cent unless the world deals with rising greenhouse gas emissions.
Other market failures are emerging.
Natural resource scarcity is reaching a tipping point, with limits being met and passed on scores of fronts.
In mid-February, the world's environment ministers will meet at UNEP headquarters for the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum.
Here we will present some of the latest findings on the state of the world's ecosystems, such as forests and soils to coral reefs and fisheries, in our UNEP Year Book 2009.
A few facts:
Overall, the 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment concluded that 60 percent of the Earth's ecosystems are damaged or being degraded. The Year Book confirms that many of the trends continue unabated.
In the past, environmental crises were essentially local - pollution of the local lake; fly-tipping in city park, perhaps the felling of a much-loved forest.
Today, as a result of the consumption and production patterns of the industrialized economies and newly emerging ones, the level of degradation is having global consequences.
In years gone by, communities and societies could move on - could avoid calamities by emigrating to find safer, more prosperous places where opportunities were manifold.
That is not possible in a world of six - rising to nine - billion people where resources are finite. We have to produce and consume in far more efficient and less extractive ways where we re-invest in the productivity of the work force; innovation and the natural assets that are the foundation of prosperity.
The good news is we still have choices - the point at the fulcrum of today's meeting.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), established by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organisation, estimates that somewhere around 0.1 percent of GDP spent annually until 2030 can lift the threat of climate change.
A peer-reviewed study by the consultants McKinsey, published last week, estimates that greenhouse gas emissions could be cut by 40 percent by 2030 over 1990 levels through a suite of readily available technological options.
That represents a 70 percent cut below a 'business as usual' scenario; it represents, too, a lot of green jobs here and abroad.
Global Green New Deal - Green Economy initiative
One thing that is not in short supply is human ingenuity nationally and internationally.
In October last year UNEP launched its Global Green New Deal - a response to the immediate crises - and Green Economy initiative, a more medium- to long-term strategy.
Both echo and support the agenda and direction of the new US administration - in that they both see the challenges but also opportunities through a national but also global lens.
Part of the UNEP initiative includes work on green jobs, conducted with the International Labour Organisation, trade unions and employer organizations.
In terms of developed economies, this report drew heavily on the experiences and initiatives of many of you in the audience today.
Proof, if proof were ever needed, that the United States is and can increasingly be the font of inspirational and transformational policies so urgently needed in the 21st century.
I will not recite back to you the long list of statistics on how many jobs could be generated in the United States from "weatherizing" homes to investing in high-speed rail links, wind and solar power - only perhaps to suggest that the potential for green jobs may be even higher than is commonly supposed.
The United States leads with 3,000MW of installed geothermal energy followed by the Philippines with close to 2,000MW and Indonesia with 1,000MW.
A new assessment coordinated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicates that the United States could provide a significant slice of its base-load electricity from geothermal.
It says that the US has enough geothermal potential to generate 100,000 MW (100 GW) of base-load electricity by 2050 by investing in enhanced geothermal systems.
Current total energy generation in the US is somewhere under 1,000GW of which between 0.23 percent and 0.4 percent is estimated to be geothermal, according to various sources.
The report says that there is a widely-held view that high, exploitable levels of geothermal resources do not exist in the US.
But the report says: "Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) represent a large, indigenous resource that can provide base-load electric power and heat at a level that can have a major impact on the United States while incurring minimal environmental impacts"..
Combined public and private investment of $800 million to a $1 billion is needed over 15-year period needed to get it up and running commercially and to realize 100GW by 2050. Somewhere over $200 million of this is needed to achieve a break-even point with coal.
This is equal to total Research and Development in the past 30 years globally on EGS and still less than the cost of a single new-generation "clean coal" power plant.
And what about the employment and revenue-raising potential here and abroad if the US exported its cutting-edge geothermal know-how?
Various studies estimate that, for example, geothermal could grow by 900 percent in Papua New Guinea and by 90 percent in Turkey.
In Africa UNEP is working to develop geothermal in the Great Rift Valley from Kenya up to Djibouti; Germany and Iceland are involved, why not the United States?
The Green Economy is an Idea Whose Time Has Come.
The United States is not alone in glimpsing an economic renaissance through a green lens.
There are shining examples of Green Economy solutions - even though perhaps they were not termed that at the time - developed and implemented in Europe, Japan and elsewhere in the OECD.
Feed-in tariffs in Germany and Spain that have spawned an extraordinary renewable revolution there.
The incredible energy efficiency of Japan, triggered in part by that country's historic lack of natural resources and thus its need to make every drop go further and farther.
Well over 90 per cent of Iceland's electricity is either hydro or geothermal - a deliberate policy decision taken after the oil crisis of the late 1970s/early 1980s.
Developing economies are also involved. Costa Rica and Mexico with their long-standing pioneering payments for ecosystem services - essentially paying poor rural people to manage forests and watersheds in the sure and certain knowledge that this is a big bang for your buck.
Grameen Shakti is a company launched by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Bank - a pioneering microfinance organization in Bangladesh.
It has been leading a quiet renewable revolution in the country selling and financing solar photovoltaic panels and greening the energy supply of over 8,000 homes in Bangladesh every month.
Women who buy these panels become village electricity distributors, selling their solar electricity to neighbouring homes at no more than the monthly cost of kerosene, their normal fuel.
The plan is to convert a million homes from health-damaging kerosene stoves to solar electricity by next year.
Too often we are told certain things are not possible - too often the vested interest or vested ignorance has won out.
Brazil was told several decades ago that developing an ethanol economy was economic folly - we know different now.
Only recently UNEP was told that getting solar power to rural people in India was impossible as it was unaffordable and too risky for banks.
In cooperation with the UN Foundation and two foresighted Indian banks, we brought down the cost of solar loans. The short term subsidy put solar into 100,000 people's homes almost overnight.
The project is now self-financing and hundreds of banks are now involved.
So "Yes You Can, Yes We Can, Yes We All Can!" - if we can share ideas and fast-forward innovative ideas.
Globalization means that the ups - and currently the real downs - of the global economy reach everywhere. But so, too, do ideas and imaginative initiatives.
The challenge today is to embed Green Economic policy in national economies everywhere - to make the many shining examples already pursued here and there part of the mainstream of economic thinking, part of the "here and now".
I believe the rest of the world can learn from your experience and you from theirs, and that the UN's convening role can be the platform.
UNEP's Global Green New Deal report, bringing some of these global ideas and policy-actionable initiatives and compiled by a team of leading economists, will be published on 16 February at our environment ministers gathering.
It will draw on these and countless other examples. It will draw too on President Obama's stimulus package with its many environmentally-focused recovery strategies.
Draw too on China's over $140 billion stimulus and its pro-employment focused investments in rail rather than road, renewables and investments in river systems.
Also on the Republic of Korea where jobs are being lost for the first time in over five years.
President Lee Myung-bak of the Republic of Korea's plan is to invest $38 billion employing people to clean up four major rivers and reduce disaster risks by building embankments and water-treatment facilities.
Other elements of his "Green New Deal" include construction of eco-friendly transportation networks such as high-speed railways and hundreds of kilometres of bicycle tracks alongside generating energy by capturing methane from refuse tips.
With an eye on both the short and the long term, the package will also invest in developing hybrid vehicle technologies for the car industry.
Japan's stimulus package also includes plans to lead a "low-carbon revolution" and generate one to two million jobs through tax breaks in areas such as electric cars, low-energy appliances and renewables.
In the UK, $100 billion is to be spent on renewable energy in order to generate 15 percent of the country's electricity by 2020 and to create "hundreds of thousands of new 'green-collar' jobs".
Last week the UK government also announced multi-billion dollar support for the UK car industry with that support linked to developing high technology and green vehicles.
If we are to deal with the immediate crises and the ones just around the corner, then every dollar, Euro, peso and yuan is going to have to work smarter and harder.
The investments being made now in order to counter the various "crunches" need to set the stage for a resource efficient, innovation-led, economic renaissance.
One that tackles the fundamentals, rather than papers over the cracks: one that sets the stage for Green Economic growth.
Investments that generate not only employment, but decent jobs for the 1.3 billion people unemployed or under-employed and for the half a billion young people that will join the global work force over the next ten years.
Not just in the United States and the rest of the industrialized world but in the rapidly developing and "hardly" developing economies of the global South.
Making Markets Work - Unleashing Investment
Ladies and gentlemen,
There are still many voices being raised saying we cannot afford it - that it is interfering in the market as if the market was some perfect construct - independent of human affairs.
That elected governments have little or no role left; that regulation and standard-setting is outdated, stifling for business, just more "red tape".
We know, very much as a result of the past 12 months, that markets are not divine creations - they are made by men and women and as such they can be redesigned by human beings and governments to achieve multiple aims.
Designed to invest in long-term, sustainable profits, wealth creation and decent kinds of employment - where some balance is re-established between financial, human and environmental capital.
Where refocusing and redirecting markets, not stifling them, can bring some intelligent management of natural and nature-based resources and of energy use - where we draw a line between the extractive and short-term models that have characterized so much of late twentieth century economic focus and the crucial factor X of sustainability.
Does the United States Need the Rest of the World - Should it Back a Global Green Economy?
There may be those who wonder why it is in the interests of the United States to support Green Growth globally.
I believe the lessons of 2008 make the "why" abundantly clear.
Globalization has economies interconnected in ways that are perhaps impossible to disentangle - the global village is a reality.
It used to be said that if America catches a cold, we all get one.
There are now countless countries, and growing, from where colds can come but also where cures can be found.
The United States has been at the forefront of innovative ideas and innovation - today it must also champion the international cause of the Green Economy and of a transition to a low-carbon society.
To transform the United States into a resource efficient, clean-tech, decent employment-led economy is crucial for its own sake, yes.
But the United States also has a key leadership role globally and self-interest in working multilaterally.
Put simply, unless there is a global Green Economy who will be out there to trade with and to buy - let alone deploy - this new generation of high-tech, highly efficient goods and services produced by the United States?
Secondly, and as mentioned before, climate change knows no boundaries and respects no race, creed, ideology or philosophy.
A strong economy can, for a while perhaps, shore up its infrastructure, coastlines, agriculture and water supplies to increasingly extreme weather events.
But not forever, and not if greenhouse gases take global temperatures beyond two, three, four degrees Centigrade.
Per capita emissions in the United States are currently five times the global average and 200 times that of someone living in one of the poorest parts of the world.
Indeed, the UN estimates that the average air conditioning unit in Florida is responsible for more CO2 in a year than a Cambodian is in a lifetime.
It's better - but not so much better - in Europe. An average dishwasher there produces as much CO2 in a year as three people do in Ethiopia.
Thus the historical legacy is the United States', as it is Europe's, Japan's and the rest of the industrialized world.
However, even under a relatively modest emissions growth scenario, non-
OECD countries will account for about 70 percent of the warming problem in 2100, and an even larger part of the growth in emissions in the next 100 years by some estimates.
Over the 21st century, with no internationally agreed constraint, the developing countries will emit four to five times the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the developed economies over the last century and a half.
Thus the legendary innovation, science and high-tech know-how of the US should and must be brought to the global stage - it is in the interests of the United States and the rest of the world's 190-plus sovereign states to see technology transfer and the adoption of low-carbon products.
All countries have a stake, and a role, in the solution.
An engaged United States for example will stimulate low-carbon markets at home and export markets abroad and build international confidence that the world's most powerful economy can also be a low-carbon one.
If the United States can do it so can Brazil, China, India and the other rapidly emerging economies: it is the trigger for global agreement and confidence-building.
A United States in the UN carbon markets will also add traction to the global carbon investments under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol from emission trading to the offset instrument - the Clean Development Mechanism.
The move to include tropical forests in these emission offsetting measures may be the key to conserving these vast, natural utilities that currently moderate much of the climate, water supplies and nutrients on a global scale - currently they do it for free, soaking up the emissions of the rich countries to the tune of billions of dollars a year.
The litmus test of international commitment, including that of the United States, on climate change comes in just over 300 days from now.
Governments must agree deep, meaningful, inclusive and transformational new deal at the crucial UN climate meeting in Copenhagen at the end of the year.
Achieving this must be one of the central goals for the Green Economy over the coming months - it could perhaps be the biggest and most far-reaching stimulus package of all.
The Era of Responsibility - Nationally and Multilaterally
President Obama has called this the era of responsibility. I share his sentiments.
UNEP's role is to encourage and to establish the norms and standards that assist in promoting responsible economic activity and sustainable trade.
It is done in part through convening the best and brightest brains and the world's governments and by underlining the big factors that bind us rather than narrow differences that set us apart often needlessly and at great cost.
Our role is also to bring forward the latest global science on climate change to the state of the world's oceans alongside the policy options that can catalyze fair and equitable change within a family of nations at different stages in their development paths.
The era of responsibility is generational but also inter-generational - in bailing out the banks and rescuing jobs we cannot transfer the costs and the debts to our children - we cannot compromise their right to decent work and livelihoods; to a healthy and functioning planet.
Thus the decisions taken in Washington DC, in April at the G20 summit in London, and in Copenhagen and beyond will not only ripple across countries and continents but will reverberate and echo down the generations.
I believe that the UN and its environment programme need the United States as never before and that in a globalized world the US in turn needs the UN and the multilateral system.
The US is one of our founding fathers and like all families we have had our ups and downs.
But let us not forget that the President who signed the UN Charter in San Francisco 64 years ago, and who saw the value in multilateralism as a force for good in the world was none other than Franklin D. Roosevelt - the architect of the New Deal that powered America out of recession and inspired the Green New Deal being taken forward in the White House and elsewhere today.
The UN and the United States share a common history - today we celebrate a common vision on Green Jobs in a Green Economy.
Perhaps I can leave you with the words of Issac Wright Jr., an ex-convict and participant of Growing Home Inc., which offers "social business enterprise" job training for low-income people here in the United States.
It is perhaps a very personal view of the "era of responsibility" but one that I think sums up the direction that so many people from Calcutta to Cairo and Canberra to Chicago want from their leaders - a New Deal that is Green and one that has global dimensions.
Asked about a Green Job, he told the Chicago Tribune: "I can't see past today."
"But if I'm allowed to wake up tomorrow, I'm going to do everything I can to help out. If it means saving the Earth, why not? Because you only get one Earth, right? Like you only get one mama."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Once upon a time, in a kingdom called Emery County lived a princess named Holly Damron who is the reigning Miss Emery County. Miss Emery is busy preparing for a royal celebration, Miss Utah. So a lovely party is planned in her honor and you can be part of the royal treatment. This Royal Tea Party is planned for June 6 at 2 p.m. at the Castle, (Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale). All princesses of all ages are welcome to attend. Dress up in your princess best and have someone bring a camera. Princesses under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Please let us know if you can come to the tea party by June 1 at 381-2119, so we know how many princesses to plan for.
As this is a fund raiser for the Miss Emery to attend Miss Utah there will be a $10 cover charge for each princess and each guest. This lovely occasion will feature Disney Princesses like Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and a special visit by Tinkerbelle. These princesses shall mingle with the girls and the girls can have their pictures taken with them.
As guests arrive at the Castle they will be greeted by a Fairy Godmother who will take their wishes and give them a gift. The guests will then enter the Castle where they will feast on a special princess lunch. During lunch the guests will be entertained by Miss Emery, Holly Damron and her current Little Miss, Hanna Huntington. They will also learn princess etiquette by Emery County Commissioner and princess specialist, Laurie Pitchforth.
After the lunch and entertainment the princesses will adjourn to the courtyard for activities. They will participate in a buggy ride, fingernail painting, necklace making and have their pictures taken. All princesses of all ages are welcome to attend this royal event.
Miss Emery Holly Damron is busily preparing for her trip to Miss Utah the week of June 15. She has been practicing her talent number which is a song entitled "Stuff Like That There," from a Bette Midler movie, "For the Boys."
"I have been practicing my walk in my shoes, to get used to them. I have been going swimming to get ready for the swimsuit and fitness category. I have been active with my platform this past year. I have completed several projects for support of military families while their loved ones are serving. We held a dinner for the American Legion where the essay winners read their stories. I was involved with the Miss Emery golf tournament which also helped raise funds for the Operation Home Support and the Children's Miracle Network.
"I would encourage girls to get involved with the Miss Emery pageant. It's a good way to get involved in your community in a big way. It opens doors and access to people and resources. I was able to promote my platform and it has been great.
"I have had fun getting involved in Miss Utah, too. I met the other contestants and it's great to meet them and see what their passions are and their platform issues. It's been enlightening to meet these girls and I've learned a lot from them already. They are so willing to help and offer suggestions. There are girls who have competed in Miss Utah before and they have really helped. I went to a Safe Kids Fair in Salt Lake and helped teach children about safety, bike and fire, and other issues. I can be a role model for these children and I think that's great. Getting involved and making a difference is important.
"Participating in pageants has been great for my confidence. I'm not afraid to get on stage in various costumes and compete. You don't have to be scandalous, just wear something comfortable. There are some girls who are afraid to get in a swimsuit for the swimwear category, but I tell them you're only on stage for like five seconds and you can wear something modest; it's not that big of a deal.
"You get the most points for the interview competition. The judges are more concerned with what you know and not how you look. Being confident is more important. Just be yourself. If you want to be in the Miss Emery pageant on July 11, but don't have any dresses, I can help out, I have a lot of dresses.
"I'm excited to spend a week at Miss Utah with all the girls. It will be fun to be with the current Miss Utah, Kayla Barclay. She is great.
"They are having the 'Show Us Your Shoes' parade again this year. I am going to spotlight the Green River watermelon. I have a sun dress that we've made out of watermelon material and I'm decorating my shoes to look like watermelons. You are supposed to showcase something from your county with your outfit and shoes.
"It will be fun to have my Little Miss, Hanna Huntington to accompany me, too. The Little Miss girls will have their own production number and then they escort their contestant during the evening wear. On the Wednesday of the show will be my onstage question and evening wear, Thursday is talent and Friday is swim wear," said Damron.
If you are a girl between the ages of 17 and 24 you can be in the Miss Emery pageant. The winner receives a new laptop computer and a $1,200 scholarship for college. The first runner up receives $800 and the second runner up is $500. You will compete in interview, swim wear, talent, onstage question and evening wear. Contact Jarilyn at 381-5667, Leslie at 381-2190 or Patsy at 381-2431 to sign up. The pageant is on July 11. The new Miss Emery will help out at the county fair in August and ride in parades and other activities as well as prepare for Miss Utah 2010.

Inexperience costs Canadians at women's volleyball worlds
OSAKA, Japan - Canada squandered set point twice in the second set and lost to the Dominican Republic on Wednesday 21-25, 28-26, 25-11, 25-20 to complete the 24-country women's world volleyball championships with an 0-5 record.
Canada, ranked 24th in the world, finishes sixth in its preliminary pool. The top four advanced to the second round.
The end of the second set was the match's turning point. The Canadians had two set points and would have taken a 2-0 advantage in the match. However the Dominicans showed resilience and won the set to gain momentum.
"We had a chance to take a 2-0 lead but didn't do it," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "I'm proud of my players; they improved a lot during this tournament."
Canada held a 16-13 lead in the first set. The Dominicans, ranked 11th, came back to equalize at 16-16, but Canada pull ahead to win the set 25-21.
"We started well," said Canadian team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man. "It was the same as yesterday. We didn't react well. This tournament was a great experience for us."
Tiffany Dodds of Lucky Lake, Sask., led Canada with 14 points. Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and Tasha Holness of Calgary, who notched four service aces, added 12 points apiece. It was the first world championships for all the Canadian team members.

One of the world's fastest growing international airlines agrees to multi-year sponsorship with America's legendary soccer team
NEW YORK , 5th June, 2013: The New York Cosmos announced today that Emirates Airline has agreed to a sponsorship deal to become the jersey-front sponsor of the soccer club. This agreement makes Emirates a Founding Partner of the New York Cosmos in their North American reboot season. The announcement was revealed today by New York Cosmos Honorary President Pelé, club Chairman Seamus O'Brien and Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President of Revenue Optimization and Distribution, at a news conference at the Four Seasons Hotel New York.
"This is a big day for the future of the New York Cosmos," Pelé said. "It's wonderful to be part of such a renowned soccer family."
"We are delighted that we could create this partnership and bring such a world-renowned organization to United States soccer for the first time," O'Brien said. "There's no bigger corporate supporter of sports, and soccer in particular, than Emirates. We're proud and honored that the Cosmos are part of their plans for America and New York in particular."
"New York has a rich tradition of sport, and Emirates proudly supports some of the world's top soccer teams, including AC Milan, Hamburger SV, Arsenal FC, Olympiacos FC, and Paris Saint-Germain, plus the recently announced shirt sponsorship of Real Madrid just last week.. Therefore, choosing to support the relaunch of the Cosmos back to this amazing city was an obvious choice," said Nabil Sultan. "As with our sponsorship of the US Open tennis tournament, Emirates views our partnership with the Cosmos as a way to thank the people of New York for making Emirates one of the world's fastest growing airlines. Along with their fans in across the region, we look forward to watching the Cosmos reclaim their title as New York's legendary soccer team."
The Fly Emirates logo will adorn the legendary Cosmos green and white shirts produced by Nike beginning with the 2013 North American Soccer League (NASL) fall season. The jerseys will make their debut on Aug. 3 at the Cosmos opening match against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
Emirates will benefit from significant branding at Cosmos matches in and around Hofstra University's Shuart Stadium, as well as online through the New York Cosmos' social and digital media channels. Additionally, Emirates becomes the presenting sponsor of the Cosmos Copa, a soccer tournament played in New York City between local, community-based 'national teams.' Emirates and the Cosmos will also activate a number of unique and interactive events in New York around the NASL season.

Losing My Best Friend.Ever had that reliable best friend that you mistreated and didnt show gratitude towards. Yeah, for over 8 years that's what this straightener was to me. Through all the ugly, this has been the one constant over the years. Its finally decided to give up on me, Very upset, feeling like i lost my best friend. The quality of this product is insane. It could probably see another 10 years if it wasn't for my carelessness and a 2 year old son. Definitely purchasing another one.

Poor Quality Over Time--stay Away From Sedu!i really liked this iron- when it worked. After a year and change of light use (less than 1-2 times per week) the thing will simply not stay on. Constantly switches off-- clearly an electrical problem. At this price point, the quality should be better. I would choose a different brand, and I won't buy this again.Aug 10, 2015Sedu Revolution Diamond 1" Flat IronHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Great Iron!Overall one of the best irons I've ever used and I'm a salon professional with over almost a decade of experience. Unfortunately I've noticed most "new and improved" versions (hair tools and products alike) never perform as good as the original, this iron performed better than expected! A few minor issues:
- the plates don't close completely ( they do with some extra pressure, I prefer not to see ANY SPACE in between plates)
- I wish they would release the 1.5 diamond version of this iron.
- the plates could be longer, a 4" long plate would make this iron superior

Tricky Start But Excellent Finish!I did not get off to the best start with this flat iron. The first one I received in the mail (after paying for shipping to CANADA!) did not work :(....I phoned the customer service number and was provided with the most fantastic customer service I have ever experienced. I have very curly, unruly hair...and the first morning I had my beautiful new diamond flat iron...it did not work! I had to wear a hat to work....however the customer service representative I spoke with was understanding, and helped me right away - I was sent a replacement immediately and have never looked back! This is the best flat iron I have ever used. My hair looks glossy, smooth, as though I have naturally straight hair. HIGHLY recommend!

Leaves Hair Smooth And GlossyYes, this tourmaline flat iron does leave my baby-fine hair very smooth, glossy and not dried out on the ends; however, it has some glitches. It is temperamental when turned on - sometimes just does not want to be "on". Perhaps something was compromised when this was designed - seems to be the innards - but the tourmaline does work well on my hair and works at the 280 setting. I also like the lighter weight. Now, I hope i am wrong about its seeming to be not sturdy enough to really last as long as I think it should because I could get really attached to this flat iron!Jan 27, 2015Sedu Revolution Diamond 1" Flat IronHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Relaxed Hair

Have Owned All 3 Generations Of Sedu Hair StraightenersI'm 22 years old, and have been order hair straighteners from folica.com since middle school. I've had them all. From solia to sedu to chi to babyliss. Needless to say, I know my stuff.
First off, the brand Sedu makes the best hot tools around. No brand compares when viewing from all aspects. This hair straightener is good, but nothing exceptional. Your hair will look nice, but for the price of your hairs health. There are only 6 heat settings on the straightener- 450, 400, 340, 280, 230, 180. That is the main problem right there. Realistically, 340 is to low of a heat setting to obtain manageable hair, and 400 is slightly to hott to use daily, without burning your hair no matter what thickness. If you do not use a hair straightener daily, maybe this will workout fine for you; but if you do, I would recommend the Sedu 1st generation.
My previous straightener to this was the Sedu Revolution (2nd Gen.) It worked good, and didn't start to act up until a little over 2 years. Most hair straighteners dont last for even a full 2 years, so I was happy with my purchase. The difference was, my sedu 1st generation gave my hair this amazing shine and feel, that the revolution never once achieved.
Ultimately, after using my sedu diamond edition straightener for a month now, my decision is to return/exchange this straightener for the 1st generation sedu.Jan 4, 2015Sedu Revolution Diamond 1" Flat IronHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Pros & ConsI like this iron but don't find it much different from the original sedu revolution. It has the different temperature settings but only 6 to chose and they do not have the number I like to use. I am not sure weather I like this tourmaline or titanium more for my hair.Dec 25, 2014Sedu Revolution Diamond 1" Flat IronHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Engaging the Renters & Young Voters in Cudahy Part 1
Part 1 – The Renters
Here is an email I received from a reader:
"I wanted to know what you thought about how do you encourage renters & young people to get involved in their community (when there is such a large percentage in this city) and to make an informed decision if they are unable to attend this gathering since it is being held at such an inopportune time?
What about this being the perfect opportunity for the first time voters in high school to get involved on a more local level where they can see how much of an impact they can truly have with their community by making their voices heard thru voting.
How exciting for them to be able to cast that ballot for the first time & truly see how they can make a difference, but why would they, or better yet, why should they, if the candidates aren't willing to express their opinions in a forum that won't conflict w/school?
For the kids that are interested in voting, school is most likely an important part of their day since they realize they need to go to school to make a better life for themselves and have the ability to make a greater impact on their community, not by being a career politician...(just my .02)"
First, I don't see anything on the NEW City Website for renters/tenants or even a "Welcome to
Engaging and encouraging
I think it is a failure of the community to not get them involved. I think it is the failure of the "City" and City Hall for them not feeling like they are part of the city.
We need a City Welcome Committee and a Welcome package. Get some volunteers to stop at the apartments and rental properties with city literature and talk and meet with the people. The volunteers could be retired people. They could be the Mayor, alderpersons or even a
What could the literature be? Who are the City leaders? What does
Add the cost of the literature, which can come right out of the budget of the Economic Director's Budget for literature selling the city. Since we are selling the city to our own people. They are the biggest customers of
I think having a face-to-face experience and the literature that even just learning who the city leaders are and where to go for services, parks, shopping and so on, the renters will feel like they are important and part of the community.
We need to so something, because doing nothing is not working!

Catching up
As technology develops, some of the newest and hottest stuff is obsolete before you know it. Once of those things are those portable Tom Tom GPSs. Geez, those seemed great at the time... you plunk in the address and it tells you how to get there. Less accurate, but available, was information on nearest restaurants, gas stations, etc.
Within about four years, though, they've become quaint vision blockers. Almost anyone with the aptitude for technology to have purchased a portable GPS, now has that GPS technology on a smart phone (or even better, a touch screen built into the dashboard of a new car). No sooner than the technology became available than it became obsolete.
Similarly, the iPod is in the same category. These days, who wants a separate device when all that same music can be on your smartphone (which you carry with you anyway)?
Well, blogging has became a lot like that. What was - in 2007 - a neat way to babble incoherently to anyone who may find you accidentally through a search engine or buried within the bowels of the host site has now been replaced by Facebook and other social network sites. When I first started this blog, I did some long form postings, sprinkled in with "Lightning Rounds" which included one or two sentence thoughts on a subject, or maybe just a linked article that I had a comment on.
These days, when I see an interesting article (like this) I just post it on my Facebook page and let my 150 or so friends see it and comment. I've seen my hit-o-meter for my State Fair series, and oftentimes my Facebook page gets more hits. Add into the equation that the blogging software is quite clunky compared to Facebook and Twitter... and you can see why my blogging participation has lagged. On the other hand, I also think that reading community blogs has become somewhat obsolete. There are many communities which have official and non-official Facebook pages that are updated much more quickly than MyCommunityNOW's sites, and if you find a Facebook page for your community that you "like" any updates show up on your feed without any effort to find it on your part... and commenting is a breeze.
In other words, Facebook has kicked blogging's arse. But I still have a 27" tube TV in my bedroom, I wish football uniforms had sleeves (like they used to) and think I would look good in a fedora. All this means that I am sticking with it, but as you can tell, my posting frequency isn't what it once was. It just makes the posts I do write even more special.
(Side note; Did I just really spend six paragraphs to say that I like Facebook and don't blog much any more? Good golly.) Since I've never written too much about West Allis anyway, let me entertain you with some thoughts on topics important to me...
Since a lot of my favorite shows have ended their runs (The Sopranos, Big Love, Luck, House) others with one year left before the series ends (Breaking Bad, Treme, Dexter) and some way past their primes (The Simpsons, The Killing) I have been trying to get into some new series.
I am years behind in some critically acclaimed series (Downton Abbey, Parks & Rec, Community) and it would be difficult to catch up. Some that I've tried to watch have resulted in a yawn (Girls, Veep, Homeland [sorry, it just didn't do it for me]).
One that I am really rooting for on so many levels is Vegas (not Vega$ and not Las Vegas). Vegas is a two-sided show set in early-60s Las Vegas. One thread involves Stubborn Old Man, who is deputized (on the basis of his work as an MP during WWII) by the mayor when the sheriff goes missing, then promoted to sheriff when the previous one is found dead. The other is a mob guy who runs a casino to skim for "back home" but with visions of making Vegas a mega tourist destination... in other words, he sees 1977 (when the mob is at the height of power in Las Vegas, before they got greedy and gave the FBI everything they needed to end mob rule).
The problem is that the sheriff portion is like watching CSI but without technology. There is no running fingerprints, no spectrometer to do whatever a spectrometer does, no computer enhancements of grainy video camera footage from 1000 ft away at night, etc. Just boring old police work by a not-real sheriff.
On the other hand, the mob portion is fascinating. The Commish is running the Savoy for Chicago, with dreams of an arena, convention center, etc., and wants to buy the casino across the street to expand the empire. But the Milwaukee mob (nice) wants that property and sends out a bad guy to enforce their claim. Chicago isn't happy so the boss comes to figure out what's going on, and when he isn't happy, boss and another Chicago higher-up go to the desert to bury the Commish, but the higher-up turns coat and offs the boss of Chicago. Except for the fact that there is never any smoking in the casinos (and that the Stardust and Sahara are on the same side of the street downtown) the period dress and ambitions of the 1960s mob is fascinating and holds the show upright.
Unfortunately, this is CBS and they need their crime procedural... and a stunning number of times the mob and sheriff go face to face. Hopefully they can make the sheriff parts more interesting and keep this thing going. because I've got nothing else until Mad Men start up again.
Bowling -
Except for the Junior Hall of Fame tournament (in which I blogged extensively) my season has been very disappointing. Until a couple of weeks ago when I threw an 802 series, which came out of the clear blue. I hadn't had an 800 series since before I blew out my elbow, and I just assumed that my days of high scores were over. Thankfully, I still have something in me.
Tournament season is right around the corner. Like the 2010 Packers or 2011 Giants, hopefully I am getting hot at the right time.
Milwaukee Brewers -
I am worried. Owner Mark Attanasio must have looked at the books to see what happens when you mix a $100 million payroll with less than 3 million attendance. The Brewers need pitching - bad - and they have hit the discount rack hard in picking up Tom Gorzelanny and Mike Gonzalez. Shawn Marcum is still out there and hasn't been rumored to be close to signing with anybody. I think he'd be a good fit with the Brewers. They even have a uniform ready for him.
Milwaukee Wave -
Despite starting the season 1-2, they have won their last six in a row to draw to within one game of the Baltimore Blast. This season, the Wave is being led in scoring by rookie Luan Oliveira with 9 goals and 5 assists in 8 games played. With the loss of forward Greg Howes (now the head coach of the team in Las Vegas), Marcio Leite (injured but now playing) and Guliano Oliviero (injured) the Wave's offense has been sluggish at times.
But, ah, the defense led by the GK tandem of Marcel Feenstra (3-1 record and allowing just over 4 goals per game) and Nick Vorberg (4-1 record and allowing about 3-1/2 goals a game) has been more than sufficient to carry the Wave.
Attendance is up, too. Typically, the Wave attendance struggles before New Years Eve (which is a high-attendance day). Though the average attendance of 4,181 for four games is lower than what the season average will be, it is higher than pre-NYE attendance in each of the previous five seasons. It isn't the 8,453 that the Wave averaged in 1998-99 season, but an increase is an increase.
My funeral -
OK, I didn't die, but I was pretty sick over Thanksgiving weekend, and contemplated my funeral arrangements. I personally don't care if I am cremated or buried (but stick the entire me underground, just in case they find a cure for what did me in), but I want - no, I demand - wailers.
Not Whalers, nor whalers or even Wailers. But wailers. I'd prefer big Polish women wearing black veils and beating their breasts (but I don't want to be TOO specific), "Oh, why did he have to die?!? Lord, take me now, I can't go on! Waaaaaa."
Wailers. Thank you.

Runs short
"I never bought this brand before. Not sure if support is great but supposed to be designed for comfort. High/large toe box which lets air into toe area making it cooler in summer! Length is a bit short...usually wear 8 or 8 1/2. Ordered 8 1/2 and is a bit too short. Next size up would be too big so trying to decide whether to keep them. Light weight. Sneaker alternative."

Jets owner Woody Johnson may not want to pay cornerback Darrelle Revis later, but Johnson is definitely paying Revis now.
As pointed out by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, today is the day on which Revis earns a roster bonus of $1 million.
Revis also is due to receive a reporting bonus of $1 million, a workout bonus of $1 million, and a base salary of $3 million.
Of course, it wont matter if hes traded, since hell get a new contract. Unless the Jets eventually decide to trade him without his new team signing him to a new deal which will mean that someone could get him for one year, $5 million.
Which pretty much falls in line with the current free-agent cornerback market.
While no one believed that the Jets would have cut Revis in lieu of paying the money, the decision to fork over $1 million with a trade offer from Tampa on the table suggests that the Jets dont think much of the proposed deal.

High-Intensity Interval Training
The Benefits Of Interval Training
The Real Reason To Do Interval TrainingIt gets cold where I live. But even when the forecast is for below-zero weather, I'd still rather go outside than run on a treadmill.
That should give you an idea of how much I dislike that particular piece of workout equipment. Nevertheless, when I decided to take up interval training, I found myself doing the hamster imitation because I find treadmills good for one thing: high-intensity interval training, or HIIT.
In an earlier article, I busted the myth that HIIT burns a lot more calories than regular aerobic exercise done at a steady pace. Ironically, while researching that column, I began doing HIIT for the first time in many years.
It wasn't to burn extra calories. The reason I was using HIIT was to train for a personal best in a 10K race. I wanted to run one in under 40 minutes and cross that off my fitness bucket list. Unfortunately, things didn't quite work out that way.
Intervals can be run outside, of course. But one benefit of a treadmill is that it makes it easy to track the speed changes inherent in HIIT. It's also not advisable to do speed drills on slippery surfaces, which is what Canadian winter is all about.
In my earlier article I showed how the vast majority of calories burned due to exercise come off during the actual workout and that the caloric "after-burn" due to HIIT is quite minimal. So if fat loss is your goal, then you want to maximize your aerobic "work."
This is interesting because my personal experience is that I can't do as much work engaging in HIIT compared with running at a steady pace.
If I'm not trying to do anything fancy, I can sustain a 7.5 mile per hour pace for about two hours and not be a bag of ass the next day. By comparison, when I do interval training at the oft-recommended 1-to-1-work-to-rest ratio, I can cycle back and forth between running at a 10 mph pace for one minute, followed by one minute at 5 mph, for an hour at most. That's followed by bitching and moaning.
Let's do the math. Running at 7.5 mph equals — duh — 7.5 miles run in an hour. And the above HIIT ratio involves 30 minutes at 10 mph and 30 minutes at 5 mph, so the distance covered works out as the same: 7.5 miles in an hour. Well, it's actually a bit less than that because HIIT requires a slower speed warm-up and cool-down.
But the biggest problem is, after that hour, I'm totally done for. At a steady pace of 7.5 mph, I can keep going, but using HIIT, I'm in pain. This is from all that additional impact taking a toll, and also why most trainers recommend HIIT only be done twice a week.
So it's not a miracle calorie burner, but how well does it work for improving speed?
To get the facts, I got in touch with James Fell, a senior lecturer who coordinates the Exercise Science Program at the University of Tasmania. And, yes, I did find him by Googling myself. Don't pretend like you've never done it.
Fell (the one in Tasmania) has authored a number of published studies on interval training and athletic performance. Via email, he explained that "high-intensity interval training does improve endurance performance. There are many studies to confirm this, ranging from the relatively untrained up to highly trained athletes." Fell also told me that the Scandinavians invented the concept in the 1930s with fartlek training but that today the approach is much more scientific.

Spring 'Safe Zone' TrainingEvent Details: , Busch Student Center, 20 N Grand Blvd., St. Louis, MO, 63103-2051
The Cross Cultural Center and Rainbow Alliance will offer Safe Zone trainings this spring semester. Safe Zone is a training program that assists allies in developing skills that will help them support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people within the Saint Louis University community.
The Safe Zone program strives to erase prejudice, while providing a support system for the LGBTQ community. Through education, advocacy and awareness, the program contributes to a campus climate that is safe and accepting for all members of the University community.
"A Safe Zone ally is defined as an individual who supports and honors diversity, acts accordingly to challenge acts of prejudice against LGBTQ people and is willing to explore and understand these forms of bias at individual and institutional levels," said Kent Porterfield, Ed.D., vice president for Student Development. "We invite all University members to consider becoming Safe Zone allies."
Attendance at Safe Zone trainings is voluntary. The only qualifications necessary to become Safe Zone allies are to be open to learning and committed to further understanding the experiences of LGBTQ individuals within the SLU community.
Attendees will voluntarily sign a pledge and receive a placard that they can display in their work, office or living space; the placard states that the space in which it is displayed is a "Safe Zone."
"Participating in Safe Zone training is an assurance to others that you are someone they can trust — someone who is committed to creating an environment in which LGBTQ people will be treated with dignity and respect," Porterfield said.
Safe Zone trainings will be led by faculty, student and staff program facilitators who are professionally trained on Safe Zone curriculum and dialogue facilitation. More than two hundred members of the SLU community have been trained since the program launched in January 2012. Six Safe Zone training sessions will be offered this spring and are open to the University community.
Faculty and staff sessions will be held at the following times in rooms 352/353 of Busch Student Center:
- 1-4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21
- 1-4 p.m. Friday, March 15
- 1-4 p.m. Tuesday, April 16
Student sessions will be held at the following times in the Griesedieck Seminar Room in Griesedieck Hall:
- 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23
- 1-4 p.m. Saturday, March 23
- 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 20
Reserve a space in the training program by completing this form or by visiting safezone.slu.edu. For questions about the Safe Zone Training program or to set up a specialized training for a group, contact Safe Zone Coordinator Myrinda Grantham in the Cross Cultural Center at 314-977-2119 or at email@example.com.

Rebel Island rocks!
By davidleetodd on Jun 17, 2007
I recently finished Rick Riordan's Rebel Island, and it was terrific. I've written before about my admiration for Riordan's Tres Navarre series of Texas detective novels, and this one lives up to his high standards. I really enjoy when an author pays homage to another author's work by recycling one of her plots, but in a new and entertaining way. Actually, Riordan does a mashup of two famous works, Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None, and John Huston's film Key Largo. Both use the device of a group of people stranded at an isolated island hotel, who suddenly realize that there is a cold-blooded killer among them. Key Largo adds a violent hurricane into the mix.
In Rebel Island the island is off the Texas coast, beyond cell phone range, and a lot of the guests are hiding guilty secrets. Between a murderer on the loose and hurricane-driven waves washing over the island, will anybody live to see the dawn?
I got my hands on an advance copy, but the regular edition will be published August 28. Plenty of time for you to read the first six books in the series before you set sail for Rebel Island.

Apr 24, 2014 199 Comments Jack Flash
Watch Bundy explain how we need to keep things from going backwards for blacks, and how the Federal government has created a neo-slave class via entitlement dependency that is so bad it is arguably worse than plantation slavery was. It is 100% clear that Cliven Bundy is not saying that blacks should be slaves picking cotton, but that the Federal government has created conditions for them so terrible, that their current situation may actually be worse. (If you are person of low intelligence, the fact that that is his point might be too hard for you to understand.) And hes not blaming blacks for the issues of abortions, and crime and broken families, hes blaming the Feds. This is the exact opposite of a racist, this is an advocate for the welfare and best interests of blacks. And just as importantly, youll at the end of the video he gives passionate praise and defense of hispanic illegal aliens, lauding them for better family structures than most white peoples Racist? Why is he praising Mexicans as better than whites, if hes some sort of white supremacist racist?. Take a hike all you lying, character-assassinating, leftist pieces of dog shit.
H/T Velvet Hammer VIA IRONIC SURREALISM
Now watch the edited version of Bundys remarks as promoted by the left-wing Media Matters and as reported in the NY Times:
(Excerpt) Read more at patdollard.com ...
The real problem is getting this information into the MSM.
You won't.
They will spike it with extreme prejudice.
Direct Links
The first is the Media Matters editted version that the NYT used.
The second is the full statement.
Post it everywhere possible. Make this thing go viral. It's the only way because the MSM will ignore it.
"But he used the word 'NEGRO'! He's a RACIST!"
Shibumi, many thanks for the links!
All y'all, ping to this post!
MSM exposed again!
We heard the audio. Cliven Bundy is a crackpot.
Ping for later
Well the Marxist used the magic word and the GOP plus some of the rank and file were running around in circles.
But the left would insinuate that since he's a "crackpot" or a "racist",
that the over the top thuggery exhibited by the fedthugs was justified.
Don't go there.
Not only the M S M ,but the liberals here on FR ,who have fallen for the NYT's doctoring of the interview.
You don't know what you're talking about. He is saying the same things Rush and Levin ssy - the welfare system has trapped blacks (and people of all races) into a quagmire they can't escape.
The media twisted Bundy's words much like the old story below:
"A Harley rider is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...
So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.'
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
But........ He said NeeeeeeeesGRO!!!!!!!!
He didn't use the latest politically correct language.
BTW, what is the latest politically correct term to refer to people who have darker skin than George Hamilton?
Would it be racist to call George Hamilton a darkie?
I heard the audio and Clive Bundy is spoy on.
> Not only the M S M ,but the liberals here on FR ,who have
> fallen for the NYT's doctoring of the interview.
I learned a long time ago that the MSM, and especially rags like the NYT and the ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN statist propaganda outlets, cannot be trusted at all. Not a whit. They NEVER tell the whole story, but only those parts that will pander to their base.
I agree with that. Hannity is the most consistently conservative radio/tv personality with a large audience.
He came out yesterday against the "racist remarks", but even his 10pm show is recorded much earlier in the day, so he'd probably not yet heard the real recording.
His radio show today will be telling. If Hannity doesn't walk back some of his comments today, then I don't think it will happen at all.
Now, being honest with you, even though Bundy DID intend to be saying that blacks have been injured by welfare maybe as much as by actual slavery, the problem is the choice of IMAGES he chose. The cotton picking theme, to matter the intent, is just not an image that can be overcome.
The most anyone will be able to say in Bundy's behalf, and I'm talking about major media outlets like Hannity and Rush, is that Bundy did a poor job of expressing his real concern for welfare slavery, and that he doesn't appear to have in his heart any animus toward any racial group, but that he chose really inappropriate words and images to convey his meaning.
Already that's too complicated an explanation to be able to overcome the LSM and their race hustlers.
Another problem, and I'm being honest here. Bundy came out in favor of full, open, unequivocal amnesty.
How do conservatives handle that?
Finally, none of this has anything to do with his losing his ranch and open range, grazing, and water rights. We should support his keeping his ranch, his freedoms, and the government getting its hands off all that western land.
Nothing wrong with the word Negro, in fact the blacks used it themselves for most of my life. Remember the "united negro college fund?"
Many here are afraid of the "magic word" as well...
Since the "magic word" has no meaning in my worldview,
I fear it not.
The MSM can only be trusted to LIE!
It's nice to see, but once again conservative squishes have revealed the real problem: us. It mattered not to me that Bundy lives in an alternate universe. ALL Americans are to be defended from federal overreach.
Which audio did you hear?
The actual audio of the interview (three minutes long), or the NYT-edited version (half that long)?
Nothing about Bundy changes the fact that the fedgov's response to the situation was nothing other than thuggish intimidation and a violation of the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act.
Also PRAY....pray that God will reveal the truth and open peoples eyes to the lies that are being told to us about EVERYTHING, that He will remove any and all things blocking the truth from coming out....and that we accept in faith and ask for His will to be done in all matters !!! Just ask for His help...
I agree. That's what I said in my last paragraph
Did you hear the entire audio or only the shortened out-of-context clip the MSM wanted you to hear?
With the obvious intent of reversing their recent setback so they can continue their statist march through society taking what they want and dictating how everyone should live their lives.
And many stalwart conservatives (even here) are willing to oblige them by following the bouncing ball.
Pathetic doesn't begin to describe it.
It's amazing how many supposed conservatives are quick to take the word of a communist sodomite at the New York Times.
No hes not a crackpot, and gov has no right to murder his family.
Analogies that imply that all blacks are on welfare and would be better off under slavery are not just losers but a great way to blow up your own cause.
But recall the rally around Akin for his insightful words about wimmins biology.
I see every host on FNC was running away from this fast.(calling it 'racists words')
Why am I 100% sure Hannity won't walk back his condemnation of Bundy from yesterday?
Rush will point this new information out, but only his listeners will hear the truth, and it wont be repeated.
I knew instinctively what Bundy was probably trying to say, and should have known the NYT was pulling a fast one on the editing.
Martin Luther King used the word "Negro"....it was a common expression in his day and no one took offense.
They're trying to disrupt the "Sagebrush Rebellion II".
They see that people are just plain FED UP with the FED GOV,
and are ready to push back.
They want to disrupt this growing movement before it gets any more momentum.
Turn media whore and bad things tend to happen to you.
Do you actually believe he was implying this?
Some people can use the word, but anyone that's not part of the PC club is a racist for using it.
You're go correct ;)
Ya Beck seems to be going out of his way to make him an evil person as well. Sounds like a tool!
Is the NY Times going to edit it to put Bundy (and all conservatives) in a bad light? Of course. Does this make Bundy less of a crackpot? No. I watched the entire thing. This guy needs to just shut up already. He is an embarrassment and a gift to the corrupt liberal media.
Thanks for posting this.
Fixed it.
> Bundy came out in favor of full, open, unequivocal amnesty.
So has all of the GOPe, all libertarians, and even some of the Tea Party.
The same characters have endorsed gay "marriage" and abortion, and are calling for dropping "social issues" from the GOP platform.
Those so-called "social issues" are MORAL issues, and I cannot and will not support candidates with no moral compass.
> Finally, none of this has anything to do with his losing
> his ranch and open range, grazing, and water rights.
This is the crux of the matter, and everything else are distractions.
The man has DEEDED rights given him by the Territory/State of Nevada.
The Feral Gummint decided in 1946 to take possession of the land and in 1976 to start charging money for water and grazing rights.
Bundy refuses to play along.
The Feral Gummint response was to send a paramilitary tactical squad of about 200 heavily armed men with automatic weapons, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, and armored vehicles to steal Bundy's cattle, kill some of his cattle, destroy his water storage and fences, threaten to shoot and kill Bundy and his family and neighbors, and basically wreak havoc and terror on the locality.
THAT is the crux of the matter, and let us NOT forget it!
The MSM has this information. So getting it to them won't change a thing.
What we as American Patriots need to do is push back against the current trend to call everything anyone says about any minority as "racist".
Hannity jumped on the Alinsky bandwagon so fast he probably knocked a few people off. Hannity is as big a coward as anyone else when it comes to cowering in fear of being called a racist; so much so that he had a knee jerk reaction to Bundy's inarticulate expression of concern for the future of Black children by himself labeling Bundy a racist.
To me Hannity's knee jerk statements were " despicable".
The left has succeeded in marginalizing Bundy and personalizing the issue.
Bundy is in mortal danger now. And the left has succeeded in making the whole issue about race.
Did you actually post those words?
Cliven Bundy is man who is more used to raising cattle and working hard to make a living. By his very language, he's not used to mincing words or being PC. If this is "crackpot" then I don't want to know normal.
