U.S. leg of Live Earth hits key notes

"Today, more than 2 billion of us have come together in more than 130 countries on all seven continents," said former Vice President Al Gore, the event's organizer. "Times like these demand action," he added, after announcing the 7-Point Pledge that he hoped millions would sign while watching the concert.

However, Etheridge aside, it was nonmusicians at this concert who made the most passionate pleas about demanding action for the environment. "Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist author, president of Waterkeeper Alliance and Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."

Primatologist Jane Goodall offered a greeting in chimpanzee language, before saying, "Up in the North the ice is melting, what will it take to melt the ice in the human heart?"

Sounds like Goodall was there to translate for the politicians.

RFK Jr. is a mental case. If a Republican said something like this, it would be front page news all over the world, Congress would pass a resolution of censure, left-beasts would call it a hate crime, and the usual suspects would demand a resignation.

Sounds like another Kennedy that might meet with ‘The Kennedy Curse’ if he doesn’t be a good boy and tow the line like uncle Teddy.

Do the Kennedy folks come out of the womb thinking they're already President - or maybe even God? Kings of the world? Puffed up. Waaaay too puffed up.

I consider standing up and challenging the global warmer kooks the highest form of patriotism possible. (I swiped that from the ‘RATS). Challenging the global warming pinheads is just another way of challenging an out of control governement.

I've long wondered what it must be like to know that you're the Kennedy of that generation (Teddy) not worth killing... The enemies of America realize that keeping him alive and in the senate does far more damage to the US than assassinating him.

Words can not describe how much I detest the entire tribe of Kennedys. From Joe Sr on every one has been a worthless bloodsucker draining the life out of this country like a vampire.

Robert F. Kennedy's son, who grew hoarse from shouting. "This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors."

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/treason

trea·son

–noun 1. the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign. 2. a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state. 3. the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

[Origin: 1175–1225; ME tre(i)so(u)n < AF; OF traïson < L trāditiōn- (s. of trāditiō) a handing over, betrayal. See tradition]

—Synonyms 1. Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense. 2. See disloyalty.

trea·son

n.
Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.

A betrayal of trust or confidence.

[Middle English, from Anglo-Norman treson, from Latin trāditiō, trāditiōn-, a handing over; see tradition.]

treason

c.1225, from Anglo-Fr. treson, from O.Fr. traison (11c.; Fr. trahison), from L. traditionem (nom. traditio) "a handing over, delivery, surrender" (see tradition). O.Fr. form influenced by the verb trair "betray." In old English law, high treason is violation by a subject of his allegiance to his sovereign or to the state; distinguished from petit treason, treason against a subject, such as murder of a master by his servant.
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2001 Douglas Harper

trea·son

Function: noun
Etymology: Anglo-French treison crime of violence against a person to whom allegiance is owed, literally, betrayal, from Old French traïson, from traïr to betray, from Latin tradere to hand over, surrender : the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war; specifically : the act of levying war against the United States or adhering to or giving aid and comfort to its enemies by one who owes it allegiance —trea·son·ous /-&s/ adjective
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law, © 1996 Merriam-Webster, Inc.

What nation are we "aiding"? How will opposition to "Global Climate Change" reforms betray our government or sovereign state?

Robert F. Kennedy Junior is a partisan hack and a liar.

U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
Article 3 - The Judicial Branch Section 3 - Treason
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

If anything, those who push for the US to be subservient to the Kyoto Protocols and the EUSSR are pushing for the end of our sovereign rule in favor of globalist pressures. And those pressures unfairly target the United States while giving grace to "expanding" industries in China and India.

RFK Jr. is a lying liar living off his uncle's name.

The Left talked about a “Red Scare” and a “Cold War Hysteria”. McCarthy (and the HCUAA from the 1930s-1960s) was right.

However we are now facing a Global Warming Scare that is pure socialist bunk.

Isn’t it ironic how all the LIBERALS have become the Nazis ( there will be NO discussion of Global Warming , we kno wthe truth and that’s final ) Now if they can only pass the fairness doctrine they will have FULL control of the media.

That pic of RFK Jr. looks like he’s channeling the late John Ritter.

A total, blithering idiot.

If his Daddy was alive, he would kick Jr’s ass.
