PS: Does this mean the RATS fully support Taiwan’s complete independence from China?

Getting past the odd innuendo of Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey’s press release accusing the GOP of trying to “ram” ANWR into law through “backdoor maneuvers,” we find his opposition comes straight from above:
“The American people believe there should be some places on this earth left the way the Almighty made them in the first place. When we finally meet our Maker, we are not going to be asked our position on evolution or the Big Bang. We are going to be asked about what we did to protect the resources we were given. The Congress still has time to pull back from this folly, and we must do everything we can to see that it does.”
Meanwhile, the attempt to strike ANWR from budget legislation failed today, 49-51.

The word "megalomania" comes to mind.
The RICO Act does, too.
Did it ever occur to him that God might say "I gave you billions of barrels of oil in the most desolate area of the planet so you wouldn't hurt good fertile earth and yet it took you years of buying it from those who defile my name and existence with a false religion before you recognized what I gave you.
(God slaps his forehead and just shakes his head)
And, this is, perhaps, one of the most blatantly examples of how God-less these people are: that they would, effectively, put words into God's mouth...in a political battle.
This is not a political party that should be taken seriously. It is frightening that so many people would think that this was "clever" argumentation of some kind.
Pathetic.
How does he know what God is going to ask us? It isn't going to be a quiz is it?
I believe Markey needs to worry about that plank in his own eye hell have to deal with on judgment day as a democrat.
Also wonder why he feels (not thinks) it's OK to drill in the Gulf of Mexico off the shores of Louisiana and Texas but not in this forsaken wiolderness near the North Pole.
Oh, really? Somehow I doubt that "what was your position on oil exploration in that frozen wasteland that it looks like I forgot about?" is going to be at the top of the list of "questions" God asks us. In fact, He probably won't even be asking us a lot of questions other than perhaps "How did you respond to my offer of salvation through grace by the sacrifice of my own beloved Son?"
OK. One of them just won't be ANWR.
Democrats acknowledge the existence of God. How nice of them.
Now, about the Ten Commandments....

This reminds me of a statement former congreesman Bob Dornan made a number of years ago while he was still in office: "On the day I stand before my Maker, it's doubtful He will ask me about my votes on defense appropriations or tax policy. It is very likely He will hold me accountable for how I used my position to advance the cause of the unborn."
I suspect when it's all said and done, Bob Dornan's assessment is much closer to the truth than Ed Markey's (a hero of the abortion movement).
Why "off the coast"? I'd say, right IN it, and then top it with strip mining the place.

A M E N !!!
Apparently God isn't big enough to handle the planet by himself anymore, so the Democrats are helping him out.
I thought that too.
Methinks God will have a long list of answers he wants from the Rats before he asks about ANWR.
Apparently God wants us to get despoil the environment and get our oil from the parts of the world where he put all those dirty brownish people, not where he put the pristine lichen, moss, and ice.
What a queer looking photo
How closed minded is this guy. Is not the Almighty Maker the Maker of all. Yet, this yahoo thinks that God only created Earth. Is he not the creator of Heaven (Universe) and Earth? I don't want to be judged on how I treated the planet, but on how I treated my fellow man!
So true...so pathetically true!
