Around 1:20 PM, judt before he play the latest Paul Shanklin parody entitled, "BAD MOOD ON THE RIGHT", he said, now this is just in fun, and "I don't want anybody "GOING FREEPER" on me".
It's like in the movie Fort Apache. While Col. Thursday (Henry Fonda) treats the Indian Agent, a renegade whisky and gun runner, as "a representative of the United States Government," he sure doesn't regard him as as spokesman for President Grant.
There were many in Congress, who didn't see this law as unconstitutional. There were many others, who agreed to it, believing the SC would strike down certain portions of it, as unconstitutional law. This was one of the purest political issues, to come along, in quite some time. In my estimation, the idea was to get this over with, once and for all. It was meant to get John McCain and his partner Russ Feingold out of the way, for good. This was an issue that barely showed on the publics radar screen, but had tremendous potential for growing into a monster political issue and one that would have further clouded the atmosphere in Wash-DC.
He didn't though. He flat out said this was the President's position.
Do you actually believe that the earth is currently heating up due to human activity?
There is no scientific evidence to support this. This bogus claim is based on computer models which are vastly more complex than those used to predict tomorrow's weather with less than satisfactory results.
There is no clear evidence that the earth is currently warming for any reason.
Here is a climate fact. My current position was under several hundred feet of ice approximately 10,000 years ago. The Wisconsin glaciation was the most recent in a long, regular series of continental glaciations.
The climate of this planet has been cyclical since it developed an atmosphere. Bush should denounce human induced global warming for the lie that it is.

However, when you become a willing tool of the left to bash our President in this time of War then you become the enemy.
And you had every right to be disappointed by Buchanan, as he bailed out of the party to put his country first.
In fact, here's what Ronald Reagan actually said:
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."
Ronald Reagan, from his autobiography, An American Life
Then again, as Rush said recently, President Eisenhower didn't like politics and saw Congress as not worth his time. So Ike went golfing and the country went about its business just fine.
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.Whatever they're doing, I'm still paying less income tax and that's more money in my pocket.
Did Lucy show you the door?Nope, I can still post there.
The statistics I've seen show modest warming this century, most of which occurred during the first half. Why not admit it? What problem does that cause?
I believe the atmosphere keeps us nice and warm, which is good because it gets mighty cold on Mars at night. Come to think of it, it gets mighty cold there duing the day. I accept scientists who claim CO2 warms the earth. Good. Most CO2 comes from natural sources; a very small percentage of CO2 emissions come from man-made sources. Does man-made CO2 contribute in a very small percentage to the Earth's warming? Makes sense to me. Is it problem? No.
Has science made a case that warming is bad? No. Has science made a case that the warming is due to man-made rather than natural causes? No. Has science made a case that reduction of use of fossil fuels would slow or reverse the warming? No. The report says these things and more.
The liberals have a political agenda here, a desire to use this issue to dismantle certain industries, which is where I think the debate should be focused.
Or another way of saying it, would be, Buchanan bailed out of the party to put his personal ambitions first. And thats coming from someone, who voted for Pat in the 1996 Colorado primary.
Thanks for pointing this out ... again. I think you put more into 3 or 4 sentances than it usually takes paragraphs to say. The Euro's can't compete with us and Japan so they try to use these binding treaties to weaken us.
I'm not convinced even of that claim. It may be true, but it stands as good a chance as not of being untrue. Charts showing earth temperature vs. sunspot activity certainly speak against the CO2 theory.
I guess I'd like to read that EPA report (keeping in mind that since the Clinton administration, anything within .gov is suspect of being a jobs program for Clinton's liberal allies rather than a department if integrity) and see just what they've come up with and how they came up with it.
I agree. The intent is to finish the de-industrialization of the west for the purpose of redistribution of wealth on a global scale.
which is where I think the debate should be focused.
I strongly disagree. This gives tacit agreement to the premises that (1) warming is currently occuring and (2) it is human induced.
This allows the opposition to set the terms of the debate, leaving us on the defensive. Never allow the enemy to occupy the high ground.

I think it's funny. Of course, confronted with the situation I might be less amused, but in the abstract it's hilarious.
Incidentally, we are about due for another period of continental glaciation to start. Interestingly enough, a current hypothesis is that a precoursor might be a slight increase in temperatures resulting in more precipitation (including snow).
