The recent execution of four police officers in a suburban Seattle coffee shop is tragic and should not have ever happened. The alleged murderer is Maurice Clemmons who has a long rap sheet that goes all the back to Arkansas. Clemmons, who was serving a long prison sentence, was commuted by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee nearly a decade ago. Governor Huckabee faced a fair amount of criticism during his Presidential run for appearing to be soft on crime. If the Huckster decides to run in 2012, this recent murder and his past pardons will continue to haunt him.
Huckabee appears to have used his power of clemency as a routine gesture while serving as Governor. Huckabee issued over 700 pardons and commutations during his eight years in office with at least two of these guys committing murder afterwards. Lets take a look at Huckabee's record versus other neighboring states during his time if office. Texas had 98 pardons and commutations, Louisiana-213, Mississippi-24, Missouri-79, Oklahoma-178 and Tennessee-32 with a combined total of 624. Huckabee pardoned and commuted 79 more convicts than all the other mentioned states.
I heard over the weekend that Huckabee is considering not to run 2012 and I think that is a good idea for him and the Republican Party. I didn't think Huckabee was strong candidate in 2008 and I don't think he will be in 2012. I know there are many conservatives who love the Governor but I think he is a weak candidate that will be even more weakened by this latest tragedy. Mike Huckabee raised more taxes in 10 years in office than Bill Clinton did in his 12 years and has pardoned more convicts than six other states combined. That is not a strong conservative record to run on and now other candidates can use the Democratic "Willie Horton" tactic successfully against him.
The murder of the four Seattle Police officers is tragic and our thoughts should be with their families that they left behind. This is just another sad lesson of the consequences of those in power that are soft on crime.

Hacked "Climate Change" emails expose leftist farce.
With the Copenhagen UN Climate Change Conference less than two months away, new information has been revealed that exposes the Man-Made Global Warming farce. Unidentified hackers have broken into the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit and revealed damaging emails between climate change scientists. The files were reportedly released on a Russian file-serve by an anonymous poster calling himself "FOIA according to Fox News. Phil Jones, head of the Hadley CRU, has confirmed that the hacking had taken place and has yet to contact the authorities.
The hacked files include 1079 emails between climate change advocates and 72 documents. The damaging emails reveal the destruction of evidence, conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, self professed flaws in their research and much more. Here are just some examples of the hacked emails:
"I'’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline."
"The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate."
"Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4? Keith will do likewise. He’s not in at the moment – minor family crisis. Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don’t have his new email address. We will be getting Caspar to do likewise."
"……Phil and I have recently submitted a paper using about a dozen NH records that fit this category, and many of which are available nearly 2K back–I think that trying to adopt a time frame of 2K, rather than the usual 1K, addresses a good earlier point that Peck made w/ regard to the memo, that it would be nice to try to “contain” the putative “MWP”, even if we don’t yet have a hemispheric mean reconstruction available that far back…".
This small example of emails illustrates a complete fraud being perpetrated all in the name of climate change and to mislead the world. New findings show that the Earth is in fact cooling and has been for several years now even though the world is producing even more of the evil CO2. This all comes at a time when a new poll indicates that more Americans are seeing through the hype. The poll by the Pew Research Center has documented a 20 point drop in the number of Americans who believe in anthropogenic (that is, man-made) climate change and this breaking news will only further that decline.
Al Gore and his henchmen will only increase their hype and falsehoods to try to inflict fear into people and to promulgate this so-called warming as fact. It has been reported that the Copenhagen Conference is fractured and nothing of substance will be passed. We must keep up the pressure on these frauds and those in power to reject any climate change/ CO2 legislation that may occur here or worldwide. In the end, it all about redistribution of wealth from the rich countries to poor countries that are lead by dictators and two-bit terrorists.

Republicans sweep to victory.
The White House and the state controlled media will spin these victories as local issues that have no bearing whatsoever on Obama's policies. I can assure you that this White House, Blue Dog Democrats and RINO 's understand this
message from voters. Obama and Congressional leaders have been tone deaf to the outrage of Americans and Corzine and Deeds are the first victims. At this time we don't know the results of New York's 23rd. district but the message has been sent to those trying to pound Socialism down our necks. The winds of Conservatism are beginning to blow and there are many more incumbents in our path.
We as Conservatives cannot rest on our laurels and claim victory with these small victories, but we must continue the pressure and grassroots activism. Let this message be heard to local, state and federal candidates nationwide that we are sick of the direction that this country is headed.
Republican labels will not protect you as an incumbent because we will hold you to a higher standard. Blue Dog Democrats that represent red states, beware, you should fear voters far more than you fear Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The House and Senate leadership cannot assure you reelection, you must face the voters to answer for your votes.
This is just the start of the Reagan Revolution II that will sweep the nation. Get on board or get out of the way because we are coming for you!
