Despite the best efforts of the main stream media to ignore the story, the recent “Climategate” global-warming scandal could lead to a dramatic change in public sentiment and government policy on the issue of man-made global warming.  Emails taken from a prestigious English university appear to demonstrate that an influential core of conspirators in the science community have intentionally hidden information and propagated climate-change propaganda.

 

Despite these revelations, the Obama administration is continuing to promote man-made global warming alarmism.

 

The Climategate scandal could have unexpected benefits for families as the scandal could derail proposed “cap and trade” legislation (or similar environmental laws) which would dramatically increase the tax burden on American families.  Sen. Inhofe (R-OK) has asked for a Senate investigation of the climate-change deception scandal.

 

Columnist Michelle Malkin comments on Climategate here.  Excerpt:

 

"The science is settled," we've been told for decades by zealous proponents of man made global warming hysteria. Thanks to an earth-shaking hacking scandal across the pond, we now have mountains of documents from the world's leading global warming advocacy center that show the science is about as settled as a southeast Asian tsunami. You won't be surprised by the Obama administration's response to Climategate.

 

With pursed lips and closed eyes and ears, the White House is clinging to the old eco-mantra: The science is settled.

The Wall Street Journal and the Kansas City Business Journal report that the $829 billion health care overhaul bill has been passed out of the Senate Finance Committee.  Kevin Hassett explains how the bill would raise taxes on middle class families.  LifeNews reports on the pro-life effort to raise awareness about the abortion-funding provisions of the bill and also reports on public opinion as the final vote in the full Senate approaches.

 

NRO explains how one last-minute amendment slipped in by Senator Rockafeller would force many underprivileged children into substandard government run health plans.  Also, the Examiner takes a look at the Baucus bill just passed by the committee.  Excerpt:

 

Like the proverbial mackerel rotting on the beach in the moonlight, the Obamacare bill produced by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus both shines and stinks.

Our friends at FRC have released a video grading President Obama on his first one hundred days in office.  The president doesn’t make high grades on pro-life and family issues.  LifeNews also reviews Obama’s 100 days on pro-life issues.

 

Neal McCluskey grades the president on education reform.  Excerpt:

 

If you look just at dollar signs or rhetoric to measure the education success of Barack Obama’s first one-hundred days, then the President should get an A. Base it on meaningful reform, however, and he’d be lucky to get a passing grade.

I had the privilege to speak to demonstrators at the St. Joseph County T.E.A. (Tax Enough Already) Party in downtown South Bend, Indiana today.  Citing the eminent conservative Edmund Burke, I told the crowd that one of the main reasons we were protesting is to stand up for generations “yet unborn.”  We have a responsibility to future generations to be good stewards of our finances, tax policy, and free enterprise system, and must not mortgage our children’s futures so we can have irresponsible spending and policies today.  This is a pro-family issue because if we make foolish decisions today it will be difficult, if not impossible, to provide tax relief for families in the future.

 

It was great to see other dedicated pro-lifers and pro-family activists in the crowd exercising their First Amendment rights to peaceably assemble and engage in free political speech.

 

Cal Thomas explains the importance of the TEA Party events in his column, while the Business & Media Institute quotes CNBC’s Rick Santelli (one of the inspirations for TEA Parties) as saying the events are “about as American as it gets.”

The economic policies President Obama institutes could have profound effects on our nation, not just in the economic-short term but also on whether American families will have relief from burdensome taxes.  Here are a few recent headlines on economic issues.

Diana Furchtgott-Roth explains at the Reuters Blog.  Excerpts:

 

By raising taxes on upper-income Americans, Congress would worsen our tax system’s marriage penalty on dual-income married couples, and Jeanne and Rick would pay even more tax married than single.

 

 

Tax systems shouldn’t make it harder for women to work.  The penalty falls most heavily on married women who have invested in education, hoping to shatter glass ceilings and compete with men for managerial jobs, and the Obama plan would exacerbate the penalty.

Michael Steele talks about ways to provide real economic stimulus for American families.  Excerpt:

 

Republicans have a better solution: an economic recovery plan that lets families and small businesses keep more of what they earn. By our analysis, the Republican plan would create 6.2 million jobs, twice the number created under the Democrats' plan, at half the cost. We favor fast-acting tax relief that will boost our economy and create new jobs not slow-moving, wasteful government spending.

Rasmussen reports.  It’s no wonder that public support for the so-called “stimulus” bill is eroding as more information about its waste and cultural implications becomes known.

 

The stimulus proposal in the Senate would heap massive amounts of new debt on the American people, debt which would make it nearly impossible to provide much-needed tax relief for American families.  The Heritage Foundation provides some helpful perspective on the size of the debt this massive pork bill would create.

 

Let both your senators know what you think of the stimulus proposal and the massive debt it would place upon future generations.  Be sure to urge them to particularly oppose the elements which threaten religious freedom and important social values like life and morality.

UPDATE: National Review Online goes through the stimulus bill "chapter and verse" in their new piece entitled "
50 De-Stimulating Facts."

House Republicans, with the input of Grover Norquist, Mitt Romney, and other conservative economic experts, have released an alternative to the Obama stimulus plan that claims to be more family-friendly and more supportive of free market solutions.  Click here to read a summary of the plan.

 

Yesterday, Gov. Romney spoke to CNBC about the alternative plan and his thoughts on economic recovery.  “The best medicine for a sick economy is permanent tax relief” said Romney in committee hearings yesterday.

During economic downturns families are forced to make tough decisions and one area of major concern is what kind of tax burden a family will face.  President-elect Barack Obama is touting a $1 Trillion stimulus package which now contains tax cuts but would also skyrocket the nation’s debt.  Now there are reports that Democrats in Congress are pushing to eliminate any tax cuts whatsoever.

 

In response to Obama’s expressed desire to consider ideas from all sources, Republicans in the House are working on an alternative stimulus proposal which focuses more on tax relief for families and businesses (who provide jobs).  Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, and others will hold hearings tomorrow to promote a plan that does the following:

 

1)    Support Families through Tax Relief

2)    Provide Economic Relief for American Businesses and Entrepreneurs

3)    Save Future Generations from a Crushing Debt Burden

 

Jonah Goldberg weighs in with a conservative perspective on the stimulus proposals at National Review Online.
