It's Been Said

"There has been an enormous campaign by this Justice Department under Eric Holder to bring [into the Justice Department] attorneys at all levels of the department who have previously worked for terrorists in their private practice. [. . .] These are people who sought to get terrorists released, sought all sorts of legal protections for them that didn't exist. They didn't have to take these cases. [. . .] The department is infested from root to branch with attorneys who had been agitating on behalf of terrorists during the Bush Administration."

-- J. Christian Adams, author of the book Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department.

"In 2002, the Labour government started making British schools report all 'racist' incidents to their local authority. [. . .] Toddlers in nursery school have been registered for using such words as 'gay' and 'lesbian.' A child who called another 'broccoli head' was reported to authorities, as was one who used the word 'gaylord.' Another was noted for having said to a teacher, 'This work is gay.' [. . .] Heads of schools who send in no reports of 'racist' or 'homophobic' insults may be criticized for 'under-reporting'."

"British environmental expert James Lovelock now admits he was an 'alarmist' regarding global warming -- and says Al Gore was too. Lovelock previously worked for NASA and became a guru to the environmental movement with his 'Gaia' theory of the Earth as a single organism. In 2007 Time magazine named Lovelock one of its 'Heroes of the Environment,' and he won the Geological Society of London’s Wollaston Medal in 2006 for his writings on the Gaia theory. That year he wrote an article in a British newspaper asserting that 'before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable.' But in an interview this week with MSNBC, Lovelock said a book he is now writing will reflect his new opinion that global warming has not occurred as he had expected.

"'The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing,' he said. 'We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books -- mine included -- because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened. [. . .] The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time. [The temperature] has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising. Carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that.'"
