Dulles, Virginia -- Bowing before the politically correct lords of the environmental movement, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared this week that when it comes to the issue of climate change, “America has to lead, and [California is] doing so with or without Washington.” Schwarzenegger was explaining his decision to ratify a two-year environmental alliance between the state of California and the People’s Republic of China under the supervision of the United Nations.
Frustrated with the Bush administration’s reluctance to embrace a global climate treaty that would place caps on greenhouse gas emissions, Schwarzenegger engaged the UN and China by making an end run around the White House and bragging, “California is not waiting for the federal government to take action.” Normally, applause is in order for a governor who protects his constituents from an intrusive federal government in Washington. But that is not what Arnold is doing here. He is flaunting the Constitution and undermining national sovereignty.
Specifically, Schwarzenegger instructed Linda Adams, the Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency, to sign a “Memorandum of Understanding,” (MOU) between California and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which provides “a framework of cooperation and facilitate[s] collaboration” between California and China on climate change issues. Schwarzenegger pledged to the UNDP that California will support “capacity building in China” -- infrastructure, technology, and other resources to help the communist regime reduce its greenhouse gasses.
R U READY 4 ANOTHER RECALL
“Why is Mr. Schwarzenegger cutting deals with the repressive Chinese government...?”
“Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink.”

Just wondering where the line is between these actions and a federal prison?
“California is] doing so with or without Washington.”
BWAAAAAA! I thought CA was flat broke. I guess this PC RINO forgot about that when he was on stage. He really should have stuck to making loud movies with a minimum of dialog.
Muscle-bound brain.
Don’t you love how Ahhhnold always put up Reagan as his idol and look at the disgrace he is. He’s shown the influence of the Kennedys alright.
For all his macho bluster he is totally PW’d.
He is a girlie man.
I first thought that Drudge was being overly unfair to Schwarzeneggar, and he was, but Drudge should have stuck to why Schwarzeneggar was unfit to be governor, that the fact that he was an a-hole in during his body-building days.
Not that I'm in Kali, but being married to the Kennedy Klan would have been enough reason for me...
I suspect he’s never read the Constitution. Perhaps he is not even aware of it.
As a Californian, the man makes me extra sick. Out of control spending, already huge tax burdens (the sales tax was 3% when I moved here and now it’s over 8%), idiotic GW legislation, ultra anti-business climate, and now “environmental alliances” with the world’s most severe polluting nation.
Just once, I'd like to read something by a journalist who knows the difference between 'flouting' (which is what he meant to write) and 'flaunting'. But at least he spelled sovereignty correctly, instead of as "sovereignity", which I've seen so many times I don't even notice it any more.
If only everyone who “said” they would vote for Tom McClintock in 2003 had actually voted for him...
Conan The Barbarian was on last night. Great movie!
“I'll destroy Caleeefornia’s economy on my own”, Governor Schwarzentooty said.
all conservative people need to pull together and yell NO, and recall the SOB.
Broke? California is not going to pay for it, California electric (PG&E) customers are. The PUC recently approved a Climate Research Center and the costs will be added to our electric bills.
They are all ba$tards.
I did. ;)
Will the last person moving from California to Las Vegas (and Arizona) please remember to turn out the lights.....
