Media: Time calls green “the new red, white and blue” and likens global warming to the fight against Nazism and fascism. As it insults World War II vets, the magazine seeks to impose a tyranny all its own.
We never cease to be amazed by the inability of the left to feel shame and its lack of reverence for America and those who defend its freedoms, including the right to be stupid.
The cover of the April 21 issue of Time, taking the famous Joe Rosenthal photo of Marines planting our flag on the blood-soaked island of Iwo Jima and replacing our flag with a tree, qualifies for obscenity of the year.
It echoes the greenie theme first advanced by Al Gore in his book “Earth In The Balance” that the internal combustion engine is the greatest threat in the history of mankind. Gore and Bill Clinton have both said that global warming is ultimately a greater threat than terrorism.
That, admitted Time managing editor Richard Stengel, was the thinking behind the cover story. “One of the things we do in this story,” he said last week on MSNBC, “is we say there needs to be an effort along the lines of preparing for World War II to combat global warming and climate change.”
This trivializing of the sacrifice of American blood and treasure to defend freedom ignores the fact that in World War II we faced a real enemy with a terrible agenda. The bombs that fell on Pearl Harbor were quite real, not the output of some badly fed computer model.

N. Korea: North building underground runway, report says(doing what they do best)

North building underground runway, report says
April 19, 2008
A U.S. commercial satellite has found a huge underground runway being built in eastern North Korea, a news report said yesterday.
A photograph provided by “Google Earth,” a U.S. provider of satellite photos, showed that North Korea is building a 30-meter (98-foot) wide and 1,800-meter-long military runway at a site southwest of Wonsan, the U.S. government-funded radio station Voice of America said.
“The cement-coated airstrip stretches southwestward from the northeast and is connected to a mountain tunnel,” the report said. “Around the runaway are stacks of soil and rocks dug out from the tunnel, which tells the construction work is now underway.”
The report quoted Park Myong-ho, a former North Korean air force captain who defected to South Korea in May 2006, as saying the facility is highly likely to be an underground military airstrip being constructed by North Korea’s military.
Park said the North’s fighter jets are supposed to strike targets in South Korea if a war breaks out and return to reserve air bases after finishing the strikes. “This underground facility is such a place,” he said.
North Korea has two to three similar underground runways, but all of them are obsolete, he said.

Oh dear, this is NOT nice.
Someone needs a 12-step anger management program.
