Warm Seas From Below

Posted by aDNA on Saturday, March 22, 2008 8:10:34 PM
I would expect the oceans to warm over time.

If there were no water in the oceans, and one were to view the earth from space, the most prominent feature would be the massive mid-ocean ridges. The earth would look like a baseball, with huge stitches. The continents would pale by comparison.

These mid-ocean ridges are volcanic--in fact the oceans of the world are filled with volcanos and vents and hotspots--which should warm the ocean from below.

Democrats R U

Are you sneezing? Is the weather too hot, or even too cold? Do you worry about polar regions, and mountainous areas of South America? Even icebergs in moderate Japan? There must be some ice you worry about!

Is there an incurable disease you hate? Do you get hay fever too soon, and flus too late?

Liberals can help. Dial 1-800-stemcell-climatechange luv4U NOW

Real Cuban Eye on the Marxist Guy (Obama)

Posted by aDNA on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 2:00:43 PM

Article in the Boston Globe about  Obama and the picture of Che Guevara


In 1963, John F. Kennedy was murdered in Texas by a fervent admirer of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. In 2008, a large Cuban flag emblazoned with the image of Che Guevara, Castro's brutal henchman, is prominently displayed in a Barack Obama campaign volunteer office in Houston.
Obama has been widely compared to JFK, most notably by the late president's brother and daughter. President Kennedy, a stalwart anticommunist, despised Castro and his gang of totalitarian thugs. But when word broke last week that Obama's supporters in Houston work under a banner glorifying Che, the campaign's reaction was to brush it off as an issue involving volunteers, not the official campaign. After two days of controversy, the campaign issued a statement calling the flag "inappropriate" and saying its display "does not reflect Senator Obama's views." Would JFK have reacted so mildly?
 
More on the Che Guevara Flag--

Maria Isabel, the woman who was responsible for hanging the Cuban flag and the che Guevara photo, is a Precinct Captain for the Obama 2008 campaign.She has a blog with the official logo of the campaign. On it she asks for donations, explains the issues, publishes media releases, asks for volunteers, etc.

Daniel Ortega calls Obama's campaign 'revolutionary'


President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon in the United States.
"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change," the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an honorary doctorate from an engineering university.

Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to power after winning last year's election.

In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega said he has "faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations."

Ortega also called Obama a spokesman for the millions of Central American and Mexican citizens who migrate to the U.S. in search of work, though polls indicate most Latino voters so far have favored Clinton over Obama.

John McCain on Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Posted by aDNA on Monday, February 18, 2008 4:45:05 PM

Addressing the Moral Concerns of Advanced Technology

"Stem cell research offers tremendous hope for those suffering from a variety of deadly diseases - hope for both cures and life-extending treatments. However, the compassion to relieve suffering and to cure deadly disease cannot erode moral and ethical principles.

For this reason, John McCain opposes the intentional creation of human embryos for research purposes. To that end, Senator McCain voted to ban the practice of "fetal farming," making it a federal crime for researchers to use cells or fetal tissue from an embryo created for research purposes. Furthermore, he voted to ban attempts to use or obtain human cells gestated in animals. Finally, John McCain strongly opposes human cloning and voted to ban the practice, and any related experimentation, under federal law.

As president, John McCain will strongly support funding for promising research programs, including amniotic fluid and adult stem cell research and other types of scientific study that do not involve the use of human embryos.

Where federal funds are used for stem cell research, Senator McCain believes clear lines should be drawn that reflect a refusal to sacrifice moral values and ethical principles for the sake of scientific progress, and that any such research should be subject to strict federal guidelines."
