Politics: John Kerry, replying to an op-ed Sarah Palin wrote on cap-and-trade, suggests the Alaska governor "check the view from her front porch." What she sees from there, senator, is energy wealth going to waste.

---

The political death of Sarah Palin has been greatly exaggerated. In a devastating op-ed in the Washington Post, Alaska's governor exposes the cap-and-tax fraud that has nothing to do with earth's temperature and everything to do with government control of the economy.

She also exposes the stealth socialism ambitions of the Democratic left and once again points out the availability of abundant "shovel-ready" resources under America's soil, off America's shores and even in America's rocks.

Judging from the reaction from Sen. Kerry and the political arm of George Soros, one must ask: If Palin is spent as a political force, why is everyone on the left so worried and talking about her?

Kerry took to the ultraliberal Web site Huffington Post to object to Palin's description of "the president's cap-and-trade energy tax" as "an enormous threat to our economy." In Alaska, she wrote, "we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, energy and security."

Kerry, who opposed the Cape Wind project off breezy Cape Cod because a wind farm capturing energy from ocean breezes might spoil his view, went ballistic. In a thinly veiled reference to Tina Fey's "Saturday Night Live" skit, he repeated the warm-monger mantra that the "global climate change crisis threatens our economy and national security in profound ways" and that "Gov. Palin need look no further than the view from her front porch in Alaska to see how destructive this crisis can be."

> Keep those phone calls coming into DC when the Senate takes up Cap & Trade in September, folks, and also when they start the Obamacare push in Congress.

May I suggest to everyone here that the most effective way to get your message across to to these (bad words self censored so as not to get removed by an Admin) is to send good old-fashioned snail-mail. E-mail just pretty much gets dumped right into the ole bit-bucket, phone calls may just get a tick off on a positive or negative column, but a letter has to be handled, opened and read by somebody. It is regarded by business professionals as the medium of communication most likely to be noticed. According to a Capitol Hill switchboard operator, they routinely get to their destination in a matter of a few days, no more waiting several weeks like it was in the period right after the anthrax letters.

Please, take to time to write a letter & get it in the mail.

John Kerry...suggests the Alaska governor "check the view from her front porch."

John should check the view from one of his wive's front porches. There may be fire hydrants that need moving.

As with all lefties, watch what they DO, not what they say.
