Reagan, through peaceful means conquered 200,000,000 commies!

Leftist history in three lines:
- first they kill about 300 million last century.
- Reagan defeats them peacefully
- now they want even more to die

and the re-growth of those forests meant that more carbon could be absorbed from the atmosphere. And those trees eventually died, rotted and returned their carbon to the atmosphere.

I don’t know if Genghis Khan was “green” or not, but he was one heck of a globalist.

horse-driven, bow-wielding hordes 1. The term is Ordu, meaning detachment or mobile camp.
2. They road horses. Cavalry normally had 2 or 3, to switch of, when one was tired
3. 2 bows,
Re Green death:
Isn't this partially ofset by his large number of offspring? Are the scientists trying to blame the Little Ice Age and Black Death on the Mongols?

Great line from the Secret History: "As Tengri is the one ruler in Heaven, there shall be one ruler on earth." Temujin, the Chingis Khan.

That article is proof that ‘toking’ and typing don’t mix.

I’d give the credit to Subutai. Had Ögedei Khan not died when he died, Subutai would have turned on teh Holy roman Empire, and conquered everything up the English Channel.

I dispute the notion that Genghis Khan was one of the cruelest conquerors. As soon as his enemies surrendered they became his subjects and were offered service in his armies. They were allowed to practice whatever religion they chose to. The conquered people were put under his protection.
As an aside; CO2 has no effect on climate whatsoever.

Maybe. Fighting through German and French forests is harder than on the eastern plains. The Magyars found out about that. But I would credit God rather than Subutai. He decides when to take Mongol khans out of the picture.

Last summer my brother and I were working outdoors and the sun was moving in and out from behind clouds. Every time it did, there was a 30 degree change in temperature with two minutes. Show me a person who believes that anything in the world other than the sun affects climate, and I’ll show you somebody who never goes outdoors.

"This theory makes Stalin a pretty good environmentalist (25 million killed). And we know that the Greens admire and respect him." It also explains why NASA's James Hansen is such a fan of the chinese. Mao killed over 40 million.

Story about muslims with a happy ending(muslims all get slaughtered) i.e. the tale of the idiot who seized a Mongolian trade caraven, took everything, killed everybody, and when Genghis Khan sent four ambassadors to figure out what the **** had happened, burned their beards off and sent them back like that to show Genghis Khan how bad he was...
