SADLY THE MASS MEDIA HAS GOTTEN WORSE as their pay has been increased.
- After selling THE LIE IN IRAQ, the mass media not only became a huge beneficiary of the war, they continued to gain advertisers for more PRO-WAR PROPAGANDA.
- After ignoring the Wisconsin Protests, the mass media instead celebrated the Anniversary of the Tea Party.
- END YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE AMERICAN MEDIA, they don’t support or serve you.
They serve Corporate America and Fundamentalist America and won’t apologize one bit for their misprints, misquotes, down right lies. They own your minds, now they want to own your souls.
For Insurers, No Doubts on Climate Change →
If there were one American industry that would be particularly worried about climate change it would have to be insurance, right?
From Hurricane Sandy’s devastating blow to the Northeast to the protracted drought that hit the Midwest Corn Belt, natural catastrophes across the United States pounded insurers last year, generating $35 billion in privately insured property losses, $11 billion more than the average over the last decade.
And the industry expects the situation will get worse. “Numerous studies assume a rise in summer drought periods in North America in the future and an increasing probability of severe cyclones relatively far north along the U.S. East Coast in the long term,” said Peter Höppe, who heads Geo Risks Research at the reinsurance giant Munich Re. “The rise in sea level caused by climate change will further increase the risk of storm surge.” Most insurers, including the reinsurance companies that bear much of the ultimate risk in the industry, have little time for the arguments heard in some right-wing circles that climate change isn’t happening, and are quite comfortable with the scientific consensus that burning fossil fuels is the main culprit of global warming.
“Insurance is heavily dependent on scientific thought,” Frank Nutter, president of the Reinsurance Association of America, told me last week. “It is not as amenable to politicized scientific thought.”
“And insurers can raise premiums or even drop coverage to adjust to higher risks.”

Oklahoma is the REDDEST State in the Union. They keep supporting the same people over and over again who do this to them……WHY? because they said the magic words….GAY, MUSLIM, ILLEGAL, ABORTION, ATHEISTS, etc……
Sadly, I don’t see much changing in certain parts of this country….EVER. Including Tornadoes.

To paraphrase the 1st episode of the West Wing, the God Michele Bachmann prays to is too busy being indicted for tax fraud.
(via Michele Bachmann: God Will Repeal Obamacare)
“I think the President will ultimately be forced to repudiate his own signature piece of legislation because the American people will demand it, And I think before his second term is over, we’re going to see a miracle before our eyes, I believe God is going to answer our prayers and we’ll be freed from the yoke of Obamacare.”
“I believe that’s going to happen and we saw step one last week with the repeal of Obamacare in the House. We have two more steps. We serve a mighty God and I believe it can happen.”…..SPEAKING TO AN EVANGELICAL RADIO HOST.
MAHATMA GANDHI said it best………“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
