My mission is to increase the understanding of public policies based on the conservative principles of limited government, free markets, individual liberty, and peace. This site will use the most effective means to originate, advocate, promote, and disseminate applicable policy proposals that create free, open, and civil societies in the United States and throughout the world.

I am a “Strict Constructionist” or “Originalist” when it comes to interpreting our Constitution, and reject the idea of a “living and breathing” constitution that can be changed at the whim of a majority of Supreme Court Justices. We hold that the Constitution is only living and breathing document when it is altered through the Constitutional amendment process.

I am solidly pro-life, and I wholly reject the left’s pro-abortion rhetoric of “safe, legal, and rare” as completely devoid of moral authority. Why would they want to make it rare if there is nothing inherently immoral about the practice?

I believe we get our rights from God, not from government. As such, government has no right to encroach on our freedoms as long as we are not harming our fellow man.

I believe in private property rights, and completely reject government intrusion on said rights.

Debunking Obama’s Cap and Trade and Global Warming Myths

As the USA population is now firmly under One-Party rule, it becomes even more essential that the truth is disseminated to the people—for as long as will be allowed.  Scientists have been opposing the global warming hype since it was first introduced by the United Nations and, then, former US VP Al Gore. 

These scientists were then threatened with the loss of both their jobs and credibility if they continued to speak out against the fraudulent concept; a concept that was brought to bear so that “wealthy” Western populations (most specifically the USA) could be relieved of their money via new and prohibitive taxation.

Obama is now in the process of diligently working to pass the UN-inspired Cap and Trade bill that will make using electricity and other energy sources unattainable for many.  In other words, in some cases—due to the projected additional $3,000-4,000/year/family energy costs—there are people who may be reduced to burning wood (or freezing to death) for heat and fanning themselves to cool off.  If passed, Cap and Trade will mean that ObamaJustice has finally arrived and the people of the US will suffer and be punished for their sins of prosperity—just as he had planned.  However, the ObamaElite will be allowed to reap the harvest of their plunder of the American people.

One group of distinguished scientists is also working diligently—to get the truth out.  The group Scientists for Truth is holding a “debunking” conference on 13 August, 2009.  Below is my interview with conference organizer and sponsor Ron Boyer. 

The Interview

Sher: Ron, would you give my readers a bit of your background?

Ron: With a newly-earned BS degree in chemistry from Missouri State University, I began my career in 1970 with a local air quality control agency, and for more than two decades I managed the air quality division at that agency.  I have been involved in clean air programs throughout my lengthy career.  Presently I serve on the Missouri Air Conservation Commission, the rule-making body for protection of air resources in Missouri.

I now manage a small consulting company, Surefire Strategies LLC, specializing in environmental and agricultural consulting work.

I consider myself to be an environmentalist.  I have worked diligently to adopt and enforce regulations to protect air quality.  My wife and I grow vegetables in the garden, maintain a compost bin, recycle paper and metal, and make a conscientious effort to conserve water and energy. 

Sher: Ron, the truth that “global warming” or as it’s now being called “climate change” is a hoax perpetrated to heavily tax populations—and most specifically the American people—has been hidden from the world very well.  Your group Scientists for Truth seeks to expose this lie.  You have a Conference scheduled for August 13th that is planned as a debunking session and you have lined up some very distinguished experts as speakers who will explain the truth about climate change.  Will you tell us about the Conference and what led you to organize it?

Ron: Look at my perspective: the earth was in a cooling mode from my year of birth, 1947, until 1975 (28 years), and it has again been cooling for the past 10 years.  In other words 38 of my 61 years have been years of global cooling.  Is it any wonder I don’t recognize a dangerous warming trend?  The mean global temperature is now about where it was at mid-twentieth century.

The UN’s International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicates its global warming alarmism almost entirely on computer models.  Since when do computer models trump real-time temperature data?  Time will resolve almost all scientific debates.  It will resolve the global warming debate.  Unfortunately, in this case politicians have co-opted the debate to convince an uninformed public we need carbon cap-and-trade to save the planet.  The elaborate scheme will collect hundreds of billions of dollars from the un-favored for redistribution to the favored.  A few will get rich, but most of us will end up on the un-favored list.

Why the conference?  As a scientist, the declaration by global warming alarmists that the debate is over just rubs me wrong.  What has happened to the once revered scientific method—the backbone of science?  As chief operating officer of Surefire Strategies, I decided to push back with the “Debunking Climate Change Myths” conferences.  At the Springfield, Missouri, conference nationally known speakers will present scientific evidence clearly indicating the debate is far from over.  In addition to the science, the ramifications of the Waxman-Markey carbon cap-and-trade legislation will be discussed.  Conference attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions following each presentation.  Attendees with diverse opinions on climate change are welcome, and all opinions will be respected, however, disruptive members of the audience will get to meet our burly bouncer.

Sher: Increasingly Obama’s “Climate Change” Cap and Trade legislation strongly appears to be based on faulty if not outright false science.  As an example, within the last week EPA Senior Operations Research Analyst Alan Carlin brought to light information that had been suppressed by those who want the Cap and Trade bill.  The EPA had refused to include his factual information and, instead, his supervisor sent him an email that said:  “The time for such discussion of fundamental issues has passed for this round. The administrator and the administration has [sic] decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision. I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.” It appears that the data is being manipulated solely to allow Obama to enter a new and huge energy tax on US citizens and allow him and his Administration to gain even more power over Americans.  With respect to Obama’s Administration seemingly knowing that their data are based on faulty premises, what do you draw from the statements made by Carlin’s supervisor? 

Ron: Mr. Carlin’s future at EPA is very likely in jeopardy.  Clearly, president Obama chose EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and Energy Secretary Steven Chu to ram through a carbon cap-and-trade program—science be damned.

Sher: As the truth about global warming (AKA climate change) becomes better known—that it is merely another way for the power-elite to gut countries and their peoples of their resources, it becomes even more essential that We-the-People become involved.  Where can people go to find out more about your upcoming conference and sign up?

Ron: As sponsor and organizer of the “Debunking Climate Change Myths” conference, our company hopes to spread the scientific truth about climate change.  Our ultimate goal is to place a stay on carbon cap-and-trade legislation until the scientific debate is settled.  The global warming skeptics are at last gaining support and national recognition.  That may account for the administration’s frantic efforts to pass cap-and-trade legislation posthaste.

To quote Doug Hoffman, one of our presenters and a prominent skeptic, “Science is marvelous; it never rests and never accepts any simple answer at face value.”

The conference is being held at a very nice convention center, and registration is modestly priced.  The conference details and list of speakers can be found at: Scientistsfortruth.com
Sher:  Thanks, Ron.  We appreciate yours and your colleagues’ time and effort toward attempting to correct this great wrong that is being perpetrated on the American people—if not the world.

Meet Alan Carlin:

Happy Birthday, America!

Independence Day is more than a chance for family and friends throughout the country to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays, it is an annual celebration to commemorate the courage and faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty.

Uncover the history behind America''s birthday and the sacrifices made by the extraordinary leaders who, at great personal risk, struggled to unite a young nation. Read the Declaration of Independence that laid down the foundation for the U.S. Constitution, endorsing the fundamental principles of freedom we still uphold to this day.

John Adams predicted in a letter to his wife Abigail that Americans would celebrate their Independence Day on July 2. Off by two days - not too bad for government work.

On July 2, 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, signed only by Charles Thompson (the secretary of Congress) and John Hancock (the presiding officer). Two days later Congress approved the revised version and ordered it to be printed and distributed to the states and military officers. The other signatures would have to wait.

Many actually viewed the Declaration of Independence as a yawner - a rehashing of arguments already made against the British government. John Adams would later describe the Declaration as "dress and ornament rather than Body, Soul, or Substance." The exception was the last paragraph that said the united colonies "are and of Right ought to be Free and Independent states" and were "Absolved of all Allegiance to the British Crown."

For Adams, it was the momentum towards achieving American independence initiated on July 2 that future generations would consider worth celebrating, not the approval of this document on July 4.

Interestingly, the pomp and circumstance that many Americans presume took place on July 4, 1776, actually occurred days to weeks afterwards.

The Philadelphia Evening Post published the Declaration''s full text in its July 6 newspaper. And the Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the State House in Philadelphia on July 8. Later that day, it was read in Easton, PA, Trenton, NJ, and to the local embryonic militia to provide much-needed inspiration against the formidable British.

The shouting and firing of muskets that followed these first public readings represent America''s first celebrations of independence.

As copies spread, the Declaration of Independence would be read at town meetings and religious services. In response, Americans lit bonfires, fired guns, rang bells, and removed symbols of the British monarchy.

The following year, no member of Congress thought about commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence until July 3 - one day too late. So the first organized elaborate celebration of independence occurred the following day: July 4, 1777, in Philadelphia. Ships in the harbor were decked in the nation''s colors. Cannons rained 13-gun salutes in honor of each state. And parades and fireworks spiced up the festivities.

Fireworks did not become staples of July 4 celebrations until after 1816, when Americans began producing their own pyrotechnics and no longer relied on expensive fireworks from across the pond.

Since 1777, the tradition of celebrating America''s independence on July 4 has continued.
