Democrats and Gore Refuse to Let Global Warming Skeptic Argue His Case at Congressional Global Warming Hearing
Al Gore and the Democrats refuse to let U.K. conservative and former science advisor to Margaret Thatcher debate Mr. Gore and be allowed to argue his side of the global warming issue.
This is just another case of Democrats showing their “fair-mindedness” to others as well as the public. The public should have a right to hear both sides of the issue to make up their own minds, but the more the Democrats shy away from letting the other side speak, the more it indicates to me that they know this is a junk science. Al Gore has been given plenty of opportunities to debate and argue his case and he almost always declines at the last minute. Man-made global warming is a hoax and Gore, a man who never studied science, knows that. Gore just doesn’t want anyone to figure it out any time soon since all of his money is riding on Green stocks and Green companies that have not reached their full potential yet. They will only reach their full potential with the perfect storm to pass their Green agenda – and that time is now. It’s really sad that the main reason for this alarmism is to pad the pockets of all the liberals who are hoping to make a buck for themselves. This same thing is happening at GE, which is why they are backing Obama so heavily and don’t want anyone to figure out what’s really going on so their Green products will have to be bought and sold.
Washington, DC — UK’s Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.
“The House Democrats don’t want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face,” Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. “They are cowards.”
According to Monckton, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go head to head with Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had “chickened out” and there would be no joint appearance. Gore is scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment’s fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing will be held in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.
According to Monckton, House Democrats told the Republican committee staff earlier this week that they would be putting forward an unnamed ‘celebrity’ as their star witness Friday at a multi-panel climate hearing examining the House global warming bill. The “celebrity” witness turned out to be Gore. Monckton said the GOP replied they would respond to the Democrats’ “celebrity” with an unnamed “celebrity” of their own. But Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore.
[ Update: 1:55 PM EST: A GOP House source told Climate Depot that the Democrats on the Committee said “absolutely not” to allowing Monckton to appear during today's Gore hearing. The GOP committee “pushed at multiple levels” to bring Monckton in to testify but the Democrats “refused,” according to the GOP source. Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich was called in to testify after Monckton was rejected by the committee Democrats, according to the Congressional source.]
“The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore’s sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear,” Monckton said from the airport Thursday evening.
“Waxman knows there has been no ‘global warming’ for at least a decade. Waxman knows there has been seven and a half years’ global cooling. Waxman knows that, in the words of the UK High Court judge who condemned Gore’s mawkish movie as materially, seriously, serially inaccurate, ‘the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view,’” Monckton explained. Monckton has previously testified before the House Committee in March. (See: Monckton: Have the courage to do nothing…US Congress told climate change is not real ) Monckton has also publicly challenged Gore to a debate. (See: Al Gore Challenged to International TV Debate on Global Warming By Lord Monckton – March 19, 2007 )
A call to the Democratic office of the House Energy and Commerce Committee seeking comment was not immediately returned Thursday night.

Margaret Thatcher Appalled by Gordon Brown’s Spending Spree
I love this woman and it’s one of the reasons I am such a huge fan of Sarah Palin. I see a lot of similarities between these two women. Thatcher and Reagan were both ushered in at the right time and were kindred spirits with the same conservative values.
History truly repeats itself it would seem – and it also would seem that Baroness Thatcher feels the same way. I implore you to substitute the word Democrat or Liberal for Labour in this article.
BARONESS THATCHER has revealed that she is “appalled” by Gordon Brown’s handling of the economy, 18 months after he feted her at Downing Street.
She is said by a close confidant to view his response to the economic crisis as a rerun of history, echoing the events of 1976, when James Callaghan’s Labour government had to ask the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout. Earlier this year David Cameron, the present Tory leader, warned that Britain might need another IMF rescue if Brown continued with his “irresponsible” financial recovery plan.
Thatcher rarely speaks publicly now; her concerns were relayed last week by Lord Lamont, the former chancellor in an interview in the political current affairs magazine Holyrood. “I can tell you exactly how she feels,” he said. “Mrs Thatcher is appalled by the current situation, very concerned about it indeed. I spoke to her very recently and her attitude is: this is how it always ends with Labour.”
Another close friend of Thatcher said the former leader believed Brown had spent beyond Britain’s means. “It’s an absolutely accurate description of every Labour government since the war,” he said. “They have always left office with a huge economic crisis – the public finances in a terrible state and the economy in disarray. She feels strongly about it because she came to power in 1979 after the Callaghan government had to go to the IMF. She sees it as a repeat of history.
Margaret Thatcher continues by getting several quips in there, in regards to Gordon Brown and the Labour party.
“Her general view would be that you have to have prudent economic management,” he continued, “and although Brown has used the word ‘prudence’ ad nauseam, it has only ever been a word, not an action.
“I have talked to her over the past five or six weeks, and her view is exactly what Norman [Lamont] said. This is what always happens. It always ends in disaster when you have a Labour government.”
I personally think it would be amazing for Baroness Thatcher to see the likes of Sarah Palin as the next POTUS and someone like Daniel Hannon of the Conservative Party in the U.K. as Prime Minister working together.
More Family Trash…From You Know Who
Some of you liberals thought I was probably going to say Sarah Palin or something similar however, you would be sorely mistaken. This latest episode involves the likes of your one and only master of the universe, Barack Obama and his half-brother.
Not only was Barack Obama born out of wedlock himself, but he came from a family with an alcoholic father who bore several children in Kenya and possibly other places. As far as we know, Obama has 5 half brothers and one half sister in Kenya and another half-sister from his mother’s marriage to Soetoro.
We also recently found out that one of his half-brothers lives in a hut in Kenya on $1.00/day and another half-brother was hospitalized from cholera without any assitance or help from their half-brother, the President of the United States. He also has an illegal aunt who has been living in the slums of Boston, Massachusetts for over eight years and has been told by a court of law that she has one more year left to live here until she gets deported.
But did the MSM ever report on any of this and really weigh it against other candidates’ families? Nope! and there’s the blatant hypocrisy right there.
Well! we come to find out that Barack Obama’s half-brother Samson (and I honestly can’t keep track so I’m not sure which one it is this time) has been detained and turned away by British Custom agents.
US President Barack Obama’s half brother was refused a visa to enter Britain because he had been accused of a serious crime on a previous visit, it was reported Saturday.
Samson Obama was stopped by immigration officials at East Midlands Airport in January on his way to Washington for the president’s inauguration, the Sunday newspaper News of the World reported, according to advance excerpts.
Biometric tests alerted the authorities that Samson, a Kenyan mobile phone shop manager, had previously been arrested by police in Berkshire.
That arrest followed an alleged sex attack on a British girl two months earlier although he was never charged.
This British girl was also only 13 years old as reported via the Times Online (UK).
Although the international news media is liberal, at least they still report – it appears we will have to continue to get our news from these sources rather than at home since they are still protecting their pet project, Obama.
A Home Office spokesman confirmed Samson was refused a visa after immigration officers noticed that one of the documents he supplied with his visa application was false which led them to make further inquiries.
A Border Agency spokesman said: “We consider all visa applications based on their merits.
“We will oppose the entry of individuals to the UK where we believe their presence is not conducive to the public good.
“The UK’s border controls are among the toughest in the world. All visa applicants are fingerprinted and checked against watch lists.
Al-Qaeda Terror Plot (Pakistan) in the U.K.
This must be a case of those “so-called terrorists” from Pakistan that Helen Thomas was talking about! This would have been one heck of a “man-made disaster” as Janet Napolitano would also say. Glad to know that we have our “Overseas Contingency Operation” intact and ready to go!/Sarc.
Sources told The Daily Telegraph that the arrests of 12 men in the north west of England on Wednesday were linked to a suspected plan to launch a devastating attack this weekend.
Some of the suspects were watched by MI5 agents as they filmed themselves outside the Trafford Centre on the edge of Manchester, the Arndale Centre in the city centre, and the nearby St Ann’s Square.
Police were forced to round up the alleged plotters after they were overheard discussing dates, understood to include the Easter bank holiday, one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.
“It could have been the next few days and they were talking about 10 days at the outside,” one source said. “We had to act.” Police are now engaged in a search for an alleged bomb factory, where explosives might have been assembled.
If such a plot was carried out, it would almost certainly have been Britain’s worst terrorist attack, with the potential to cause more deaths than the suicide attacks of July 7, 2005, when 52 people were murdered.
Officials have now determined that the attack was being orchestrated by militant Pakistani’s involved with Al-Qaeda and were using students and the student visa system to attempt the latest attack.
Suspects being questioned today after one of the biggest anti-terror operations since the July 7 attacks exploited lax student visa regulations to enter the UK from Pakistan, Whitehall sources said yesterday.
As police continued searches in Liverpool, Manchester and Clitheroe, Lancashire, after the raids on Wednesday, the Home Office said student visa checks had been tightened in the last fortnight because of widespread abuses of the system.
There are concerns inside government and the security services that the 11 Pakistani nationals being held in the north of England could have gained entry on student visas in order to form a sleeper cell. Gordon Brown talked of the police having foiled a “very big terrorist plot”.
The operation which led to the arrest of the men, along with one Briton who is said to have roots in the same tribal area, was rushed forward after the country’s top anti-terror officer carried papers under his arm detailing the raids as he walked into 10 Downing Street in full view of photographers.
Apologising for the blunder, Bob Quick, the Met’s head of specialist operations, resigned from his post yesterday. His departure reignited tensions over the running of the force after London mayor Boris Johnson broke the news of the resignation on BBC Radio 4, angering the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, and Scotland Yard.

What timing too! Right after the horrific shootout/massacre in Binghamton, New York yesterday. The irony is that Binghamton was a gun-free zone in New York already… Never waste a crisis… Let’s not blame this on the crazy individual, but on the guns now… Ridiculous!
Why is it that liberals want to take guns away from those who use them responsibly, yet criminals still manage to obtain the guns in those gun-free zones, which tend to have high crime rates as well? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
“You can’t control an armed populace!” Which brings me to my videos of England:
(I think I will post these videos every time anti-gun legislation is on the table to keep reminding the liberals) – it’s a long one so beware!
