Are we now to expect the Club to endorse drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve as necessary "for national security"?
NO, because they are too stupid to understand that.
John Kerry was asked this very question about drilling in ANWR and he immediately went to the standard talking points as to why there was so little oil and we shouldn't disturb the pristine ANWR!(barf)
Sounds great for now, doesn't it? Just wait, though, today as I was skipping to the "recycle center" through the Whitewater Rafting Kindom of the Sierra Nevada, I passed the entrance of "ENVIRONMENTAL TRAVELING COMPANIONS" rafting campground and launch site!
These are "Fellow Travelers" to the end and the "ends" justifiy any of their "means." These are very patient and determined Pagan fanatics. You'll see. It won't take long!!!
To them it's a religious way of life, just like the muslim terrorists. They will never let you live freely the way you see fit, cause they know they know what's best for everyone!!! They take very brief respites from subversion!!!
Kerry had a new answer to the footprint argument. We must have won on the fact that very little land will be used. The new lie is the amount of "Global Warming Gases" which will be released. As much as the entire city of Washington DC releases. So sez Kerry.
(rather an unfortunate choice of city for an analogy, isn't it?)
This deserves to be said again.
I like that idea!

We can't let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.

If they are willing to sacrifice my freedom for the caraboo in alaska they had better be willing to sacrifice their way of living. I have no intentions of giving up my use of oil in order to fuel anyones limousine including John Kerry's.
I have a backyard full of oil, electricity, game and trees. I say let the liberals use what they can drill, hunt, chop, etc. and we'll do the same.
I don't have much patience with the 'do as I say not as I do' bunch.
And how about a federal government program we can all get behind and support?
I'd like to see a rapid ramping up of the CMP. Start teaching gun safety in schools, and not only safety, but marksmanship too. The Civilian Marksmanship Program has an honorable place in American history, but history is still being written.
Let's see some of that $40,000,000,000 go to revitalizing the CMP, and moving it to the forefront. Our troops will be very well served by a knowledge of the safe, effective use of their personal weapons, and a lifetime of familiarity with those weapons -- under the tutelage of real experts -- will not only help save their lives, but will also help preserve the entire nation.
I noticed the leftists in the article quoted above wringing their hands about the First Amendment. Without seeking to diminish that treasured clause in the least, we can also promote the Second Amendment, to help preserve our nation (and by extention, the free world).
If those vermin were active during WWII, they'd have been filing lawsuits to prohibit sending ammunition to the infantry because of "toxic lead content".
Is that comparison based on measurements taken when their lips are moving, or closed?
Breathtaking! Environmentalism is equated in importance with the Bill of Rights! I am (nearly) speechless.
