George Will simply makes too much sense for the Democrats to understand him.
good shot, George ;)
I would not wish for the senate to vote. The bastards are going to vote to condemn the war and deep down, they know what that means. They know that they won't cut off funding because of the consequences. So they are doing window dressing.
Now as to kyoto, they know what that will do to. But all they see is the next election.
So we are living in a country with a stupid population, bred by years of bad schooling and the rise of phony half baked theories about nearly everything. Sort of like the dark ages,,superstition rather than science.
And this is who votes. And those Senators want to be elected. So if the population feels "hot", and has rallies, etc led by people with both a financial interest and political interest in the whole global warmning industry.
The bedfellows are socialists and capitalists who want to make a bundle. Only problem is the socialists will triumph.
And the Senate will help them, just to get relected by stupid emotion driven, easily manipulated voters.
President Clinton didn't seek ratification of Kyoto and neither did the Senate. It passed its resolution of disapproval 95-0. 56 senators are still serving including John Kerry and Barbara Boxer.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
There's a precedent for this, too. One of the most important underlying factors in the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement was that a trade agreement of this sort would preclude the Canadian government from nationalizing the country's oil resources -- which is exactly what happened in the early 1980s under the Trudeau government.
How ironic is it that NAFTA basically protects western Canadians from their own government in Ottawa?
It's -10f right now in Mpls...Global warming? Riiiiight.
Best article I have seen in the lay press on the subject. Coldest January since 1971.
I'm up to -1 (-23 wind chill) in southern Michigan but it's supposed to get cold tonight.
The Kyoto treaty is designed to redistribute cheap oil to countries other than the U.S.
New Light Shed on Kerry’s Withdrawal from 2008 Presidential Race
Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) added more clarification to his surprising decision to bow out of the 2008 presidential race when he announced at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that he was “king of the world.”
“It doesn’t matter that American voters rejected me in 2004,” Kerry told a stunned audience at a plenary session on “Weevil Control in Less Developed Countries.” “It doesn’t matter that 53 percent of Americans disapprove of the job I’m doing as United States Senator. Because I’m king of the world.”
Kerry said he knew he was king of the world when he discovered a tee-shirt with that title in his luggage when he unpacked after arriving for the conference. “I didn’t pack that shirt,” Kerry reminded the audience. “Its miraculous appearance on the eve of this important conference is a sign that a higher power has picked me for this vital role.”
As his first act under this newly granted authority, Kerry declared the United States an “international pariah.” “The American electorate’s failure to make me president in 2004 sent a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy to the rest of the world,” Kerry said. “I was the chosen one. All the other world leaders wanted me to lead America. I tried to explain that to voters, but they were too obtuse to grasp the significance of this fact. They have made America an international pariah.”
Kerry said he would be seeking counsel from these other world leaders before deciding what sort of punishment he should mete out to the people of the United States.
An embarrassed Teresa Heinz Kerry, Senator Kerry’s wife, explained that she had packed the tee-shirt as a gag gift prior to the senator’s departure for the conference. “It was meant as joke consolation for his dropping out of the presidential race,” she said. “Sometimes he’s so full of himself that he can’t help behaving like an ass.”
In related news, Speaker Pelosi’s arrival in Baghdad was followed by dancing in the streets and a spirited rendition of “Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead” by Iraqis under the mistaken impression that her plane had crashed.

Great article, but Kyoto is already dead, the new socialist green agenda is laid out in the "Earth Charter". It is much more open about the opposition to free enterprise and the promotion of "equitable distribution of wealth within nations and among nations". In other words, saving the environment is not really the primary purpose of the "Earth Charter", world socialism, and control are the ONLY real interests of the so called Green movement.
That is good! Excellent. Thanks!
Wind chill here is a brisk & bracing -33f
I wasn't aware of that aspect of NAFTA, but now that you mention it, it wouldn't surprise me at all.
concur ... that's why it will [npi] be ignored :(
