One of the most compelling articles to date debunking global warming as a man made problem has been published on the forums at The Republic Revealed, a locally operated website with the lofty goal of shining the light on what our government employees are doing on our behalf.

The Global Warming Myth

The article cites research put together by Arthur B. Robinson, Noah E. Robinson, and Willie Soon of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine and disputes the theory put forth by global warming alarmists quite convincingly.

Given the recent “Cap & Trade” legislation passed by the House and waiting on the Senate, we encourage everyone to review this article and at least learn about the overwhelming number of scientists who believe the man made “global warming” scare is nothing more than a farce.

The petition that gathered the American Scientists’ signatures is circulated with a letter from late Professor Frederick Seitz which states:

The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.

This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful.

Frederick Seitz, president emeritus of The Rockefeller University and a former president of the National Academy of Sciences, died Sunday, March 2 in New York at the age of 96.

A distinguished physicist and educator who held key government posts for over three decades, Seitz received the National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest award in science, in 1973 for his contributions to the modern quantum theory of the solid state of matter.

It is time once more to celebrate the results of our struggle for independence with barbeques, fireworks, and fun in the sun (or rain as the case may be) - but let us not forget the reason for our festivities!

For many American citizens we have come to take for granted our rights and freedoms and have come to enjoy the Fourth of July as a time for parties and social events.

In essays written by young and old we are reminded of the struggle and courage it takes to achieve freedom, and the hope and promise that America holds for its people. And while we applaud the authors of these essays, and award them for scholastic excellence, we somehow manage to ignore the true meaning of this historical day through our own in-actions.

Thank you to all the men and women of our Armed Forces today and days gone by who have sacrificed more than most in the name of our freedom.

Harold Werner of Chula Vista, California eloquently stated in the Epoch Times after last year’s celebration that “.[We celebrate Fourth of July because]… this was the first time in history people stood up and created a new form of government that’s protective of individual freedoms. And that is probably the most important aspect because from this we get our Constitution that gives us the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to bear arms if we wish, and the freedom to pursue happiness, if you will. And the Fourth of July is a recognition and celebration of that beginning moment which established this country.”

American Legion Post 80 is going all out with a 4th of July barbecue dinner of pulled pork and all the traditional fixings for the low price of $5 for adults, $2.50 for children. The dinner, in the Legion’s newly renovated Civic Hall facility, will be available prior to the evening’s Lakefront fireworks. The shuttle will leave from the Civic Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue with service from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to the Lakefront. Return trips to the Civic Hall will be from 9:45 p.m. to 11:20 p.m.

It should also be noted that the Circle K Convenience Store on Michigan and 13th Street in St. Cloud is offering .25 cent hot-dogs and .49 cent fountain refills for the weekend and through the end of July! When asked about the extra work involved in providing such a low cost American favorite, the CSR on duty surprisingly confessed that they enjoy the extra work because it means more happy customers. The sale appears to be available at all Circle K locations.
