(2007-09-08) — The environmental advocacy group Greenpeace today sought to quell a worldwide panic over the forecast reduction in the polar bear population due to global warming by announcing that evolution would protect the adorable giant carnivores.
“The invisible hand of natural selection will come to the aid of the polar bear,” said an unnamed Greenpeace spokesman. “As the polar ice caps vanish in the blazing heat, the polar bear may begin to turn green to match its evolving habitat, and he could even acquire flat teeth to graze upon the increasingly abundant polar grasslands.”
Some scientists believe it’s equally likely that the massive mammals will remain carnivorous, but will develop hairy wings to allow them to cover larger hunting grounds in less time.
“Within the next 10 million years or so,” the Greenpeace source said, “the descendants of modern polar bears could soar like eagles, diving at incredible speeds to snatch great fish from the world’s swollen oceans.”
“Efforts to rescue the polar bear,” he added, “would only disrupt the unguided process of natural selection, which works best when the fittest species dominate their weaker cousins. We should not see the polar bear as a pathetic victim to be saved, but as a rival for the planet’s dwindling resources who must be conquered.”

Evolution to Save Polar Bear From Global Warming
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle … again. That’s my version of the Recapitulation Theory and I’m stickin’ to it.
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say Global Warming (cue organ music) will save the polar bear from Global Warming (cue organ music) since Global Warming (cue organ music) purportedly accelerates the “evolution” of lifeforms? Cleary a question for Mr. Whoopee!

Insert from UPI
“This grim news about polar bears and sea ice decline is horrifying, but it is a call to action, not despair,” said Kassie Siegel of the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity. “The good news is that there is still time to save polar bears. Our hope lies in a rapid response, including both deep and immediate carbon dioxide reductions and a full-court press on other greenhouse pollutants such as methane.”
Rapid response, hmm sounds like war. The heck with bin bin, let’s save the bears

Unlike Al Gore’s Scotch and Soda, polar bears do not require ice to survive. In fact, though they tend to shed some of their cold-weather fur, polar bears have proved capable of survival in climates as warm as San Diego and St. Louis.
10 Hawkeye // Sep 8, 2007 at 10:21 am
I wish these tree-huggers would get their facts straight. According to an article from 2004…
the notion of a declining polar bear population doesn’t square well (with) available information.
A Canadian Press Newswire story earlier this year reported that, in three Arctic villages, polar bears “are so abundant there’s a public safety issue.” The local polar bear population reportedly increased from about 2,100 in 1997 to as many as 2,600 in 2004. Inuit hunters wanted to be able to kill more bears because they are “fearsome predators.”
An aerial survey of Alaskan polar bears published in “Arctic” (December 2003) reported a greater polar bear density than previous survey estimates dating back to 1987.
And all of these increases were going on during the height of ‘global warming’… go figure.

Hawkeye #10: The Greenie movement isn’t about facts, straight or otherwise. It’s a political movement, dealing entirely in emotion. Can you think of the last time real, verifiable facts unequivocally supported a Greenie position, much less proved it?
The Polar Bears, like the rest of “Global Warming” and every other Greenie issue, exist in the Greenie consciousness simply and only as means by which Capitalism and Democracy can be attacked. (Morality, the third target, has already been all but surrendered to those who put the welfare of vegetation above that of babies.)
The movement is like a watermelon — a thin green shell hiding a bright red interior. Unfortunately, far too many people are ignoring the fact that reckless indulgence in watermelon today leads to a sewage backup tomorrow, and we’ll be up to our eyebrows in doo-doo if we don’t wise up soon.

Gentle mockery… the sincerest form of criticism. Well done Scott, as usual. How do you keep coming up with these gems?
I stopped believing in evolution 30 years ago. Coincidently that was the same time that I became a Christian. Gosh, I wonder if those two events are related? Anyway, the older I get the more it seems like evolution is a fairy tale designed for children who haven’t yet learned better, and adults who don’t want to know better.
It’s interesting that evolutionists are adamant in their faith that mankind ascended from lower forms of life and that there is no inherent moral aspect to it (life that is). How can there be if modern man is the result of random processes over billions of years? Modern evolutionary man has no morality, simply informed opinion which frequently sways with the wind. (If you don’t believe me check out some of the thing that “ethicist” Peter Singer has said.) That’s what makes the comments of Kassie Siegel, of the Arizona- based Center for Biological Diversity, so ridiculous. (re: 6)
IMHO, the Christian position regarding the polar bears, if in fact their population is threatened by actions of mankind, and that seems to be in dispute (re: 10), is that we are morally obligated to make every effort to maintain their balance in nature, as according to God, we are stewards of the earth, and our morality comes from God.
It seems to me that Scott’s gentle mockery is exactly, and logically, the position that evolutionists should hold.

Harry, I think that Camo might be onto something. Black bears are small…so I think that the global warming fanatics should round up grizzly bears and dye their fur white. Same size - same temperament. Do ya see where I’m goin’ with this???
James, I think that atheism is a religion, just as is global warmism. A religion is a belief in a concept, in something or in someone and practicing it daily as a part of one’s life and outlook on life. Atheism is a belief in the idea that there is no God and these people incorporate that into their daily lives. To me, (and they would cringe at this) they are Satanists, because there are only two forces in this world - God and Satan. If one signs on against God, then one has signed up with Satan. Of course, atheists will tell you that there is no Satan either, but that doesn’t matter, because I can tell you that abortion is neither right nor wrong and a woman’s right to choose but that doesn’t make it so, and though I am not participating in abortion, my ambivalent stance puts me squarely in the abortion camp. Satan and the force of evil is real and evident in this world and denying his reality and God’s reality still puts one in Satan’s camp. So, when one looks at atheism realistically, the atheist’s demands that God be taken out of the public courts, off of the public money and removed from the public square, is actually demanding that the rest of us convert to his religion, if only in action. In other words, he is establishing his religion as the state religion. And the Constitution has a few words about that!!

I ‘ve been trying to stretch my immagination by posturing the situation wherein a dedicated missionary managed (With God’s intervening help - of course) to get into Osama bin Laden’s hideaway and setting forth the Gospel - Osama converts to Christianity and joins a mainstream church.
The immagination stretch is - How would America’s Liberal media spin this news event?
Another stretch of the immagination would involve America’s insistence that Iraq’s new government must secure it’s borders against illegal aliens coming in from Syria and Iran. How can we teach them how to do what we ourselves cannot do?
On the other hand Iraq can do what we will not. To secure the Iraqi border they can simply shoot anyone crossing the line. Iraq does not strike me as paying for the social services our illegals enjoy.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Former Durham County prosecutor Mike Nifong walked out of jail Saturday morning after completing a 24-hour contempt sentence imposed by a judge for lying to the court about critical DNA evidence in the Duke lacrosse rape case.
Nifong left the jail shortly after 9 a.m., where he was greeted with cheers and applause by a small crowd of supporters in the lobby. They surrounded the disgraced and disbarred prosecutor as he moved through a thick crowd of reporters to a waiting car.
And I bet everyone in that “small crowd” who applauded him were braindead liberal Democrats. What’s scary is to think this is the kind of mind-numbed human debris who actually vote people into office who in turn undermine the integrity of our judicial system for political gain and put this country more at risk of future terrorist attacks.

c.a.t.,
Courts rule Atheism is a religion.
Even the IRS recognizes atheism as a religion. From a practical standpoint, atheism is merely an irreligious religion in that the adherents of atheism are very scrupulous about not being a traditional religionist! When they say they aren’t “religious”, what the really mean is they don’t and won’t follow the tenets of any traditional or “organized” religion. Of course, technically speaking, Christianity isn’t a religion in that it’s not a question of what we can do to ingratiate ourselves with God (for the atheist, it would be to ingratiate themselves with a dominate paradigm of their own choosing) but rather what God had done for us through Christ.
And this is where the atheist’s logic runs afoul of reality. They’ve made a determination about the nature of God (unlike agnostics, they’ve apparently explored all the dimensions and material confines of space and dogmatically declare there is no God!) - that is, God doesn’t exist - and now live their lives according to their religio-philosophical construct. In their attempt to be scrupulously irreligious they in fact adhere to a new religious orthodoxy of their own making! They’re like a bunch of little Pastor Russels (Jehovah’s Witness) or Joseph Smiths (Mormonism) running around following their new religious/irreligious decrees!
In my experience it has been the nature of man to owe some allegiance to some kind of ultimate authority, be it government, a tyrant, a court, a human institution or themselves. Though often of decent character and of highest intellectual caliber, most atheist fundamentalists I know have an Achilles heel, a blind spot, in that they’ve appointed themselves as the ultimate arbiters of all questions moral and legal in their own little world. You can’t successfully argue with an atheist because in the final analysis you are in essence arguing with a little god. How many atheists have you known that have been persuaded by anything you’ve ever said? Very few in my case. That’s why it takes a bigger God than them to enlighten them to the errors of their faith and the need they have for a bigger Savior than they.
I realize I’m preaching to the choir here.

Almighty God defines religion in James 1:27 very succinctly.
Jesus had little praise for “religion” and the “religious” back in the day.
The rules, rituals and architecture of man that constitute the current “popular” definition of “religion” have nothing whatsoever to do with Salvation-bottom line.
Fact:
No “religion” could ever have saved me from the pits of hell. None.
My mention of the atheist in the previous post really didn’t convey my personal reaction to the guy’s incongruous behavior.

Judy, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton’s great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: “Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.”
Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary’s staff of
professional image adjusters cropped Remus’s picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software so all
that’s seen is a head shot.
The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
“Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His
business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestr ian
assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in
1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government
facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the
renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon
which he was standing collapsed.”
And THAT is how it’s done in D.C. folks!

Wasn’t a joke!
Encounter was not up-close-and-personal but close enough.
Used to tend a remote transmitter site far north. Had to walk in 1/4 mile from road daily, usually long before sunrise. One morning was met by woman whose cabin was across the road. She warned that a polar bear had kept her dogs awake all night guarding the cabin and she had seen it walk down the transmitter road. I decided to wait for daylight. Then followed the tracks down the road, well armed. They led to the generator building (raised 4-feet off the ground) and a packed area where the bear had taken a rest. It apparently had barely left as, about 200 yards away, the North end of the southbound bear was the major terrain feature. It had some purpose in mind and that purpose wasn’t me. Still, it was very comforting to have the bear gun and a secure shelter into which to duck!
This was in a place over 100 miles SOUTH of where polar bears usually hang out so I’m not too concerned about their liking for slightly warmer temperatures.

I bought a cabin near Corvallis Montana. I stupidly moved east, but one thing that sort of freaked me was the Weenies of Enviroville wanted to replenish the grizzly population among the human population. Grizzlies love human rib eye steaks.
From Kalispell newspaper:
“KALISPELL, Mont. - A bear feeding on the carcass of a grizzly bear in northwestern Montana was shot after charging a bow hunter that apparently startled it, state wildlife officials said.
Game wardens tracked the wounded bear’s blood trail for four miles, but were unable to locate it.
The state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is warning hunters and others planning to be in the South Fork of Canyon Creek in the North Fork Flathead drainage that the wounded bear may be in the area.
The bow hunter shot the bear with a pistol Thursday evening. FWP Warden Perry Brown and biologist Tim Manley tracked the wounded bear Friday, following a blood trail for three or four miles before losing it. Biologists don’t know if it was a black bear or a grizzly.
It’s questionable whether the bear would survive the substantial blood loss, but the agency wanted to warn recreationists.”

Mig ~ Bear Midriff
Bear Minimum
Bear Essentials
James Re#51 ~ Ol’ Harry is kinda miffed because he spoke out of turn and declared the war over before it was over and lost before it was lost. Now he has to explain why the war isn’t lost and why there are battles being won. He tried to read the tea leaves and I guess that he didn’t speak “tea”. The sad thing is that he hasn’t ever read the constitution and he doesn’t know that the report is required of the president and “shall be” read by the president. He thinks we’re dumb and are buying his ignorance of how it works (actually I don’t think that he’s ignorant ~ just a weasle). And so it goes in Washington.

Shops in Anbar reopening. Cigarettes for sale. Just recently, al Qaeda was executing people who smoked,…
Wow, I thought the smokeless bar mandate was harsh on business owners, rather Orwelian actually. I guess smoking outside is better than being shot.

dag nabbit I forgot about the bear essentials
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That’s why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don’t pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They’ll come to you!
So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
‘Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true
Does not the Bernstein Bears own a clothing shop down at thirdy third and Main??
73 Ms RightWing, Ink // Sep 9, 2007 at 9:42 pm
They’re black they’re brown they’re up their down
They’re in they’re out they’re all about
They’re far they’re near they’re gone they’re here
They’re quick and slick and insincere
Beware Beware Be a very wary BEAR
A Heffalump or Woozle is very confusel
The Heffalump or woosel is very sly
- sly - sly - sly
They come in ones and twoosels
but if they so choosels
before your eyes you’ll see them multiply
- ply - ply - ply

Anti-war Democrats are such double-minded hypocrites who, ironically enough, are engaging in a pre-emptive strike of their own against the Petreaus Report.
What ever happened to their mantra about “listening to the generals?” Of course the only generals they want to listen to are retired generals whom they agree with who, in many cases, have been “passed over” for promotions or are in CYA mode and are now grinding their axes against the Bush Administration.

Moonbat peaceniks aren’t about to listen to this kind responsible analysis since they are hellbent on turning Iraq into another Vietnam replete with re-education camps and post-war bloodblath … then they’ll blame that on Bu$Hitler!

mig, at least humans are taking a more responsible approach when they club baby harp seals. We actually save and use their pelts. When a bipolar bear finishes with a baby harp seal there’s nothing left but a fatter bear that’s going to go extinct anyway.
And the last time I checked human beings were a part of the natural order. Interesting how the animal “rights” people put a far higher price tag on animals than they do unborn human beings. I haven’t heard anything about harp seals going extinct anytime soon. They are already a protect species with strict hunting regulations under Canadian law.
It’s the Bambiists who delight in publicly stomping their hankies, but then they ignore the fact that they are paying assassins to slaughter and process the animals they eat. I guess for some people it’s enough to make them stop eating meat, stop wearing leather products, eating eggs, drinking milk and then asking for Gaia’s forgiveness if they accidentally step on an insect.
By their definiton, on my last vacation I was a mass murderer given the number of insect guts on my windshield. And think of the hundreds of thousands of mice, rabbits and insects that were unintentionally slaughtered when farmers harvested the wonderful fruits and grains that Vegans feast upon. Has anyone ever seen a Vegan hand harvesting the food they eat? Oh the

Two observations here - and this coming at 4:30 am because I can’t sleep….
First, tyrannasaurus rex died out, along with the other great, crawling lizards and somehow the earth survived. But even more recently, in the late 1800’s the Dodo bird lumbered its last lumber, never to be seen again and mankind went on to invent the telephone, the car, the computer, the atom bomb - just think what strides man could have made if only the Dodo bird had remained alive! Why, man might have learned to fly.
And second, there is nothing more hillarious then a moron hoist on his own pitard. “Oh, what a tangled web we weave…..”

Sometimes Chris Muir goes overboard but, more often, as today, he doesn’t.

Save the polar bears! Eat them!
The best way to overpopulate any species is declare it a food source and raise them for human consumption. Black Bear makes for one awesome roast! Polar bears might just be a “White Meat” alternative!

Libby Gone: Have you really eaten a bear??? I mean, squirrel - deer - rattlesnake - but a bear?? Sounds greasy to me.

POLITICAL VIEWS HARDWIRED: Study suggests liberals and conservatives think differently
Well yeah, taking massive quantities of psychotropic drugs when young will certainly turn a person into a liberal … or was it when they were dropped on their heads when they were born?
81 Libby Gone // Sep 10, 2007 at 7:26 am
Yeap. A guy at work hunts them. Makes a great roast as good as any beef roast I ever had. Slow cooked in a crock pot with mushroom soup, served over mashed potates or noodles in its own gravy. Even my kids like it.
82 gafisher // Sep 10, 2007 at 7:26 am
C-A-T Re#76: Don’t forget Passenger Pigeons, a species which, like the Dodo, was probably extincted because it couldn’t compete with (and was no longer needed by) man. Polar Bears fall into a category closer to the Thunder Lizards, potential (though by no means certain) victims of a natural disaster humankind neither caused nor can prevent.
As for “Gulfstream Al” Gore, eating meat (PETA’s complaint in the link you posted) is far from the worst of his (actual) hypocrisy.
83 Darthmeister // Sep 10, 2007 at 7:27 am
Dodo birds lumbered their last lumber …
Dodo birds were lumberjacks? That explains it. They became extinct in anticipation of enviro-whackos trying to destroy the lumber industry. Evolution is prescient after all!
84 Darthmeister // Sep 10, 2007 at 7:31 am
Libby Gone, just read an article by government conservationists that claim their jobs are made more difficult in maintaining certain species of game animals because hunting licenses are in decline!
I don’t see an awful lot of tree huggers and Bambiists digging into their own back pockets to make up the different since they prefer to either chain themselves to trees or whine about the plight of deer being hunted as game and then scratching their heads when deer herds begin starving to death because they overpopulated an area that can only support half the number.

I don’t know why PETA is all jazzed up about saving the Polar Bears. They kill seals and are notorious for wearing fur. Seems like they’d be anxious to get rid of them, or at least throw red paint on them.

Excellent film on the real impact (and intent) of the environmental movement: “Mine Your Own Business” (trailer here).
Don’t bother to give it to your local public school, where the DVD would quickly become a drink coaster, but if you can get it in front of your friends, and your kids, and maybe your kids’ friends and your friends’ kids, you’ll be part of the solution.
