The main point I was trying to make there is that there is no reason to deny that the earth is and has been warming. There is no reason to deny that hydrocarbons are released into the atmosphere by the fruits of the industrial revolution. But those facts do not justify Kyoto or any other regulatory regime restricting use of hydrocarbons.
I gottcha Mud..... 8^) Eyes wide open.
I hate to agree with you, but most folks here seem to have lost all sense of proportion. Bush may or may not have marginally changed his previous positions on global warming. Rush may or may not have been too critical of the President. Come on people. GET A GRIP.
Are you acting like this because we are all waiting for some real news, and do not have anything worth fighting about?

Well, that's a difference between us. I live in the world of 21st century reality and understand the history that has gotten us, where we are today, as a nation. I also don't associate modern conservatism, strictly with Constitutional principles. Before we can return America to a more traditional form of government, in line with the intentions of the Founding Fathers, we must work within the political system, to make the changes necessary, to reach the goal of a smaller and less intrusive federal government. Conservatism believes in incremental steps, because conservatives understand the slow process of politics.
You tlak more like a constitutionalist and not a conservative. If you want to get America, back to a strict form of constitutional government, in a hurry, that requires a revolution.
As well as by rotting fruit.
We need to make this simple and get the debate off the turf and target of the Left, which is precisely the industrial revolution.
The $600 dollar muffler Dubya bought you has been more than off set by the social benefits which are soaked up daily by the hoards of illegals who break into America each day.
Why in NYC alone, the "children" are taught in more than 60 different languages.
Only a full blown putz would fail to see the relationship between open borders and increased social spending paid for by Joe and Jane Six Pack.
Did Lucy show you the door?
How do you know this????? Are you a member of the Psychic Friends Network?
I agree, but surely you cannot believe that we can get closer by venturing even farther away from it......
If everyone isn't aware, Rush has said on a few occasions in the past, that he received a letter from Ronald Reagan, back in the early 1990`s. Rush claimed, in that letter, that Reagan passed onto Rush, the mantle of conservative leader. If that's the case, I don't think Rush will ever leave the Republican Party. But I said the same about brother Buchanan too and was very disappointed by Pat's disloyal behavior.
My assumption that they would not accept this premise remains mistaken.
You are correct that the Left's target is the industrial revolution. Why not put that right upfront and let people know that global warming is an effort by extreme environmentalists and liberals to dismantle chunks of our economy for no good reason?
And I see no reason why President Bush shouldn't call out the Europeans for getting Clinton into a sucker deal with Kyoto. By using 1990 as the benchmark date the Europeans put the compliance burden on the US because most of our improvement on C02 came before 1990 and most of theirs came after. Then the Europeans struck a deal with the third world mostly to exempt them from compliance if they'd back the European plan to stick it to North America and Japan. Why not expose this rotton nonsense for what it is instead of arguing science issues?
Oh come on. You're comparing peanuts and cabbage. Somehow I really don't think that those people are thinking much one way or the other about Bush's environmental policy. One issue doesn not carryover to the other.
At least when we flame each other, we are arguing about something worth fighting about! This thread is a waste of good freeping time.
And yours is too short, and you don't even animate your graphic. GRRRRRRR! Now I am getting mad! LOL!
Of course not. I didn't support the education bill, 245i, the farm welfare bill and CFR, but I can see the politics employed behind those moves, by Bush and Rove. Let's face it, we've got serious political gridlock in Wash-DC. It started 20 years ago with the election of Reagan and doesn't seem to be turning around. I don't know how you can have endless accomplishments under this state of political stalemate.
