"“As we are honored by the visit of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, the President should heed his warnings about our moral responsibility to act, ..." ~ Pelosi

She's misleading people - there is no way she - or any of the other Marxist 'RATs would agree with what Pope Benedict has to say on the subject:

Pope Benedict XVI, notes that proper stewardship of our environment is one of the individual Christian's responsibilities toward God - - - BUT only in this order:

"..an authentic..theology: [is] one that puts:

[1] God and the life of the spirit first,
[2] DIRECT` charitable care of others second,
[3] and only then draws consequences for a just social order."

"[Some are involved in] a disastrous confusion between the poor of the Scripture and the proletariat of Marx." ~ Pope Benedict XVI Theologies of Liberation

Nor would they agree with this pope, either:

Pope John XXIII, On Establishing Universal Peace In Truth, Justice, Charity, And Liberty, April 11, 1963 Excerpts:

"Man's personal dignity requires besides that he enjoy freedom and be able to make up his own mind when he acts.

In his association with his fellows, therefore, there is every reason why his recognition of rights, observance of duties, and many-sided collaboration with other men, should be primarily a matter of his own personal decision.

Each man should act on his own initiative, conviction, and sense of responsibility, not under the constant pressure of external coercion or enticement.

There is nothing human about a society that is welded together by force.

Far from encouraging, as it should, the attainment of man's progress and perfection, it is merely an obstacle to his freedom."

"Hence, a regime which governs solely or mainly by means of threats and intimidation or promises of reward, provides men with no effective incentive to work for the common good.

And even if it did, it would certainly be offensive to the dignity of free and rational human beings."

"Consequently, laws and decrees passed in contravention of the moral order, and hence of the divine will, can have no binding force in conscience, since 'it is right to obey God rather than men.' " ~

Well, Bush is getting what he deserves - as if joining the AGW club is going to get him any chits with the liberals or the media. McCain is going to find that out real soon also

You got it. GW deserves it for schmoozing with these idiots.

[Rudder]

Prove capitulation.

"President Bush on Wednesday proposed a new target for stopping the growth of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. The president also called for putting the brakes on greenhouse gas emissions from electric power plants within 10 to 15 years." = CAPITULATION

[Obadiah]

Yup. Good point. Is there a reason for the similarity??
