But the Kerry's are "special". They don't have to observe any rules that they expect we peons to live by.

Typical Liberal attitude.

This is a classic right out of the Barbara Streisand Do as I say, not as I do book!

When is the next Global Warming Hoax event? I need a rich liberal wife that is tupid as a bag of hammers?

Don't be so picky. They are honest about their intentions. They are working for the masses. Even in Communist Countries the elite live a wonderful life style.
Castro has millions but look at all he does for his people.

"No doubt John and Teresa nodded in agreement as the Rio conferees condemned the U.S. as an energy-hogging environmental outlaw."

. . .no doubt about it.

[Phantom Lord]

that is, if Sen. Kerry and his environmental buddies ever dropped their opposition to drilling ANWR.

According to the AFL-CIO president, John Kerry has promised him in private that not only will his administration be drilling in ANWAR but also, "All over America."

I have yet to see a reporter ask Kerry about this.

Shockingly enough a NYT article a few days ago debunks the leftist myth that Bush's record on the environment is bad.

It's actually a good record. Use the below to debunk the leftist claims regarding the environment and President Bush.

And the Heinz Kerrys don't seem to be particularly big fans of that old environmental slogan, "Think Globally, Act Locally."

For Kerry the slogan is "Think Globally, Act Regally."

[Hildy]

This is just a testimony that rich liberals are liberal because of their guilt. There's nothing else to say about it.

We need more windmills, John, even in your own personal ocean.

Why would they have SUV's running 24 hrs a day?

But the Kerry's are "special". They don't have to observe any rules that they expect we peons to live by.
But look at what they do for all of the little people who aren't as worthy as they are!

Kerry... a candidate the common man (on the Forbes 500 list) can identify with.

When is Kerry going to be asked the famous question - How much does a gallon of milk cost? A gallon of gas? How about co-payment on a dentist visit for the kids?

[jcb8199]

They just want to make the rules by which we must abide--they don't want to actually follow them!

Here is more on the Kaerry's extreme environmental activism:

Sustainability group reacts with surprise to full-page ad
(excerpt)

"Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, are two of the founders of Second Nature, a Boston-based group that encourages universities to promote sustainability, both in their curriculum and in their operations. In turn, Second Nature has spawned the creation of the Portland-based Education for Sustainability Western Network, which is working with colleges throughout the West."

See Second nature site: See http://www.secondnature.org/ and
http://www.secondnature.org/efs/efs_part_one.html

Second Nature... "is dedicated to accelerating a process of transformation in higher education. We guide and nurture these institutions in their quest to make sustainability an integral part of the institution and to help expand their efforts to make human activity sustainable. In a sustainable world, we imagine society would celebrate cultural diversity and increase the biological diversity and complexity of the ecosystems on which we all depend. Simultaneously, we would have stabilized population and resource consumption at a level that is within the carrying capacity of Earth's ecosystems. To attain this, we must reinvent the world socially, economically and environmentally"

"Second Nature imagines a society in which all present and future generations of humans:

* are healthy and can meet their basic needs;
* have fair and equitable access to Earth's resources;
* have a decent quality of life;
* celebrate cultural diversity;
* are realizing their highest aspirations;
* and restore and preserve the biologically diverse ecosystems on which we all depend.

How might society achieve this vision? We provide you with the following ideas that shape Second Nature's response to that question, and suggest that you simultaneously picture a sustainable society, and elements of your own vision.

We must align social, economic and natural systems for mutual benefit and sustainability.

Imagine that all people understand their connections to the natural world and to other humans, know where products and services come from and where wastes go, and know how to measure and minimize their ecological footprint. Our ecological footprint (our impact on the Earth) is invisible to most of us. We must make the invisible visible.

Imagine that we have stabilized the population at a level that is within the carrying capacity of the Earth's ecosystems because we have increased the education, as well as the social and economic status, of women. All current and future generations are able to pursue meaningful work and have the opportunity to realize their full human potential both personally and socially. Imagine that through our "dreaming" and "doing," we have reduced resource consumption and waste in the developed world so that there is opportunity in the developing world to be healthy and have a decent quality of life. Imagine that communities are strong and vibrant because they celebrate cultural diversity, are designed to encourage collaboration and participation in governance and emphasize the quality of life over the consumption of stuff. Think what it could be like if globalization is humanized to support democracy, human rights and economic opportunity for everyone. "

Typical limo liberals. They want to lecture you on how you must conduct your life but expect to be excused from sacrificing any of their creature comforts. The Heinz-Kerrys are hypocrits.

President and Mrs Bush walk the walk. Their ranch is a model of energy and eco-friendly technology. It is an ongoing project, everything from replanting native grasses and wildflowers to thinning out the cedar trees that absorb so much of the water needed for native hardwood trees. Conserving water is critical in the dry, hot area around Crawford. Their home has a geo-thermal heating and cooling system that uses about 25% of the energy that traditional heating/AC systems require, rainwater and household wastewater are reused for irrigation. Their architect said they wanted the house to be unpretentious, straightforward, simple and to fit into the landscape. He said the low-slung, natural limestone house is the setting for people they want to be with, they didn't want a house to be looked at, but to be enjoyed.

Was SIX houses until they sold the house in Italy recently. Po' things are down to only five houses & a yacht. That must splain why I haven't heard the dems bleating about all those homeless folks lately.
