On Sunday’s show we will be speaking in hour #2 with Bjorn Lomborg- the man who Al Gore refuses to debate- to discuss “human induced global warming” and his newest book Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming
Perhaps we will get to some of these questions I have posed in my recently published article with him.
10 “Inconvenient” Questions for Al Gore and His Fellow Man Made Global Warming Believers
GrassTopsUSA Guest Commentary
By Gregg Jackson
09-07-071. If carbon dioxide is responsible for increasing temperatures on earth, how do you explain the observed temperature increases on Mars where there are no automobiles, airplanes, or industrial plants emitting CO2?
2. If human induced carbon emissions are responsible for the slight half a degree Fahrenheit rise in the earth’s temperature since the 1970s, how do you explain the temperature increases during the Medieval warm Period from 900-1300 prior to the invention of the internal combustion engine?
3. If man is primarily responsible for increased levels of atmospheric CO2, how do you explain the Ordovician Period, about 450 million years ago, when the CO2 level was approximately 16 times higher than it is today? How do you reconcile CO2 levels 95 million years ago which were approximately the same as they are today since man wasn’t even on the planet?
One of our favorite guests is retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. He has a typically unvarnished message for Sen. Chuck Schumer.

Hat Tip: Hot Air
UPDATE: Here’s Joe Liebrman commenting on his fellow Democrat, Chuck Schumer,
…as we say in the Senate, with all respect to my colleague from New York, I just, I couldn’t disagree with him more. In some senses, it’s an insult to the American troops. And look, beyond that, because the American troops don’t insult easily, this is just factually wrong. I mean, what’s happened in Anbar is unbelievable.

The Media Research Center has this report which shows that the MSM is actively rooting for and promoting the Democrats:
Yet the first seven months of this campaign already provide evidence of a disturbing tilt in network news coverage. It’s long been established that most of the top network reporters and other members of the media elite hold mainly liberal policy views and vote overwhelmingly for Democrats on Election Day. This study shows that the networks are focusing much more of their time and energy covering the Democratic nomination race than the Republican contest, and are more frequently opening their airwaves to the Democratic candidates. Add to that the fact that the coverage of the major Democratic candidates has been more favorable, and that the agenda of network news interviews has reflected the liberal priorities of the Democratic Party, and the case for the networks showing partisan favor in this election cycle begins to sharpen.

Don Feder has this to say in his piece “CRAIG DEPARTS, LEFT’S HYPOCRISY REMAINS”
regarding the Left’s assertion that Senator Craig and Republicans are “hypocrites” for violating their commitment to “traditional values.”
At least ostensibly, Larry Craig has a moral code, which he violated. But even in his “infuriating, pathetic” way, Craig managed to affirm the adage, “Hypocrisy is the tribute vice plays to virtue.” Deep down, he knew his actions were reprehensible, and so sought to hide them — thus paying tribute to the code he lacked the integrity to follow.
No one can accuse the left of sexual hypocrisy. To be a hypocrite, one must have an ethical code he can violate. When it comes to sex, the left has no standards. It’s hard to imagine a consensual act of which the typical liberal would disapprove.
Thus, when Congressman Barney Frank paid hooker Steve Gobie for what used to be called unnatural acts, later moved him into his condo, put him on his personal payroll, fixed 33 of his parking tickets and intervened with his parole officer in Hot-Bottom’s behalf, Frank could not reasonably be accused of hypocrisy — because none of this violated the Bay State Congressman’s moral code.
If Frank knew that Gobie was running a prostitution ring out of his condo (the Congressman claims he was unaware of the enterprise), even that would not have been in violation of Frank’s accepted norms of behavior. Frank — who voted to legalize prostitution as a member of the Massachusetts Legislature — was walking the walk.
Feder correctly points out the rampant hypocracy of the Left on issues ranging from “global warming,” their so-called opposition to “Big Tobacco,” “women’s rights,” and “free speech.” Read the entire article here. As always Feder says it in a way only Don can.
I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Mark Steyn this weekend for an hour on WRKO, Boston’s Talk Station. Mark is an absolute joy to talk with, he’s funny, smart and one of the best conservative commentators anywhere. He’s a great interview and we had a lot of fun, took some good calls from both sides of the aisle, which was great.
Topics included Iraq, Islam in Europe, Senator Tappy-Toes and the civil wars within both political parties. On the right, social conservatives are unhappy, about the shenanigans on Capitol Hill and in the field of presidential candidates. On the left, the liberal base of the party is going after any pro-victory democrats, such as Rep. Brian Baird. Baird voted against the war, and has been against it from day one. He recently returned from Iraq and said the progress was demonstrable, and that staying in Iraq, at this time, is in the best interests of the country. For that, he’s being savaged by liberal groups like the Daily Kos and MoveOn.
Bruce McQuain from QandO joined us for another edition of Someone You Should Know, the untold, inspirations true stories of the men and women fighting for us around the world. The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Thanks to Matt, Bruce is now on board and we are lucky to have him as part of the show.
Tonight, Bruce told us the incredibly story of Army Cpl. Clinton A. Warrick
As a medic, he knew that without pain medication, his only choice to avoid slipping into shock was to stay active. So he climbed through a hole in the building to see how he could assist. With a heavy stream of fire still reigning down on the station, and suffering from third-degree burns over 45 percent of his body as well as shrapnel wounds and smoke-inhalation injuries, Warrick went about the work of a medic: He assessed injured soldiers and Iraqi policemen – and told the nearby support battalion what injuries they could expect. That vital information helped save the lives of seven Iraqi policemen.
Warrick realized he couldn’t fight off the shock much longer, so he moved to the north side of the station where he could be evacuated to the medical station himself. For his life-saving actions while suffering from life-threatening wounds, Warrick was awarded the Silver Star on Dec. 11, 2006.
All of our interviews are also available for download at iTunes and Podcast Alley via the Pundit Review Radio Podcast.

Our friend Matt Margolis of Blogs For Bush explains:
Tom DeLay was on the Today Show this morning and he nailed Matt Lauer for his blatant double-standard on covering corruption. In the exchange, Tom DeLay noted, “There are scandals that need to be addressed. Republicans address them, Democrats re-elect them.”
The evidence is pretty darn clear.
Former Congressman Gerry Studds (D-MA) had sexual affair with a underage male page, and was re-elected six times until he retired.
Former Rep. Mel Reynolds (D-IL) indicted on statutory rape and child pornography charges in the summer of 1994 and was reelected that November with 90% of the vote. Bill Clinton commuted his sentence during his 11th hour pardon-spree in January 2001.
Some of you hypocritical liberals may say that those are “old stories.” So, why don’t I just mention a few Democrats who were reelected last yet despite being under a dark ethical cloud:Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) is the target of a federal investigation, was forced (by Republicans) to step down from the ethics committee last year but was reelected in November.
Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) was the target of a 2-year federal bribery investigation, had $90,000 in bribe money found in his freezer, and was still reelected last November.
Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) was involved in the ABSCAM scandal, also apparently steered millions in federal funding to companies that were clients of his brother’s lobbying firm. He was also reelected in November.
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) found guilty in civil court of leaking an illegally recorded phone conversation to the media in March 2006. He too, was reelected last November.
Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-IL), linked to countless scandals, was reelected last November.
Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) linked to countless scandals, was reelected last November.
Delay’s right and so is Matt. Republicans call for the ouster of any of their corrupt members. Dems promote em right to the top.
Shame on your Matt for not mentioning our drunken Senator Kennedy who was elected with 70% of the vote only months after murdering his secretary in the Nantucket Sound.
And of course Matt leaves out the most corrupt one of them all “Sir Edmund” Hillary Clinton and her husband Bubba who are at the top of the Democrat presidential polls currently. (In second place incidentally, is the guy who thinks we should engage throat cutting anti-Semitic Jihadist “leaders” around the world in “diplomacy.” And the guy in third doesn’t believe we are actually at “war”- referring to it as a “bumper sticker.”) and both have some pretty significant integrity issues.
Since Democrats have lost the intellectual debate in America, their strategy isn’t to have an honest debate about America’s most pressing concerns- the vast majority of which were created by Dems (Social Security, Govt Run Education, Govt healthcare programs, etc…) That’s why they refuse to go on Fox and debate and field any challenging questions. They can’t. They are all for “debate” unless they actually have to- well- uh- debate. Their idea of a “debate” is to go on Hardball or Keith Oberman.
No their strategy is to do to Repubicans what they think they were successful in doing in 06′ which is to accuse Republicans of being “corrupt” and “hypocritical” etc (remember Mark Foley) to suppress values voters support on election day. That is why you are hearing nothing on CBS Evening News about the many successes in Iraq and are instead deluged nightly with reports from the salivating Katie Couric regarding whether the Craig Scandal will hurt Republicans with “values voters” in 08′. These people are so transparent- like used car salesmen. No wonder they can’t win a national election.
They know that they can not beat Republicans in a national election if Republican’s core constituency (Evangelical Christians- otherwise known euphemistically as “values voters”) come out by the millions flocking to the polls in droves. So Hillary and Barak who support partial birth abortion are running around the country pretending to be devout Christians talking about how vital their “faith” is to them etc..and will now talk about how Republicans are all corrupt hypocrites who don’t really represent their values etc… That’s the Dem’s plan-plain and simple.
The only way Dems have been able to win a majority of the vote which they have not been able to do since Jimmy Carter is through deception- disguising their values and beliefs and conning Americans into believing that they aren’t socialists-which of course they are. The only guy with guts enough to call himself one is Bernie Sanders. The rest of them share his fundamental ideology and vote just like he does- but are just too gutless to be honest about what specfic political philosophy to which they subscribe.
And you know if it were a Democrat Senator who was supposedly “gay” who approached another man in a bathroom, you better believe Dems would be defending him to the hilt and accusing any Republican who was critical of him in any way of being an intolerant Christian Conservative homophobe. Bet on it. What blatant hypocrites these treacherous Democrats are.
These pro abortion, pro same sex marriage, pro gun control, pro illegal immigration, pro open borders, pro socialist healthcare, anti school choice, pro-(socialist) Social Security, anti-military, anti-American, pro big government pork/tax and spend Socialist Democrats will be trying to convince Americans that they represent “average working Americans” and the “poor and downtrodden,” “Americans of faith” etc…and they will win unless Republicans run a presidential candidate who is an across the board Reagan style Conservative who actually does represent the core values and beliefs of mainstream Americans. But that is another post for another time.
