I guess we must rethink the global warming that came after the ice age. Do you think Fred and Barney were fouling the air when they were working at the stone quarry? Were all the dinos passing too much gas? They were, after all, much larger than our cows who El Gordo has accused of contributing to global warming by their gassy emmissions. I'm sure if we dug deep enough we could blame the Ice Age on Bush. I bet Fred Flintstone was a relative.

I can't wait to see what goes on at Hopenhagen. I wonder if Michael Mann will be there?

Of course he will be, he's got a lot of fudging the numbers and coverup to do but he will be there.

Nobody involved in this debacle can ever again be trusted.

Who I feel sorriest for is the school teachers who bought into the garbage. We know one that used to be a family friend but we stopped a couple years ago because whenever I voiced my opinion she would go absolutely frothy with rage she wouldn't tolerate any debate on the issue.

But the more I think about it the more convinced I am right when I say these people can't back down for reasons becoming more obviously clear with the passage of every day.

Think of this. Nearly every big policy issue by the U.S. Department of Commerce has formulated for the last 20 years has at its center Global Warming. You think we're going to be able to force tens of thousands of government bureaucrats to back down?

Think of their position a moment, they can't!

Look at the State of California and the money they squandered to fight global warming. How can they back down now?

The fact Global Warming is real is written into their school textbooks.

And here we thought Bernie Madoff was a big time scam artist? Ha, Bernie Madoff doesn't hold a candle to Al Gore.

What it is going to take is a two stage revolution in this country the first fought in November 2010 and the second in November 2012. That is the only way these people can be beaten back.

I am sure Michael Mann has the answers.

No doubt he can attribute it to massive amounts of CO2 after calculating the quantity of dinosaur poopoo then fudging the numbers doing tricks to come up with the right answer.

This is putting it mildly.

Standard response is to DEFEND 'til the END......when you REFUSE to admit you were brainwashed or so terribly wrong on such a "hot" issue.

Sadly, you're probably very correct. They have far too much invested in their scam and are STILL scamming many into believing them at this moment.
It MUST be their lifelong commitment and goal by now.....achieved at ALL cost.

Hell no......all WE CAN do......is TRY and vote all these LYING, CORRUPT parasites OUT and DEMAND TERM LIMITS for ALL politicians....at every level of Govt!

Think of their position a moment, they can't!

The state with the 8th largest economy in the WORLD......that's bankrupt and has committed itself to THIS....for sooo long?
NEVER!
The Feds will be bailing out CA and who knows how many other states, banks and companies soon enough....to "fix" this problem though......so they are in good hands.

Homeschooling IS the ONLY option left for many families....and NOT just because of LIES like this one, either!

And because he's so politically affiliated and the former VP........NO prison cell will EVER await him.
Bernie SHOULD have been a politician......he would have EASILY been able to continue with his ponzi scheme and still be FREE.

It's a BIG start, but with the enormous level of arrogance that is so blatantly apparent with THIS administation and the Dems./ Congress....by the time next November rolls around, many of us fear how much more damage they will do by then!

Yes we have. I have a friend who is firmly entrenched in this ideology and he won't even talk about it. I love it, it gives me so much ammo after years of going back and forth over this....

I really don't even know what to think or what's going to happen out of all of this. Hopefully this is the springboard for the right things to start happening.
