The air is cleaner than it was in, say, 1965. The water is cleaner. Oh, but we’re supposed to believe another failed writer and former politician, Al Gore, on global warming. This was a scam from the beginning. The same scientists who “warned” us about “global cooling” in the mid-70’s started warning us about “global warming” from about 1980 or so.

This is all about money. Money which comes directly from our pockets, and/or is extorted from for-profit corporations and thus put into the pockets of “scientists” and “researchers”.

Great post, with some timeless quotes from our Founding Fathers! Here’s my favorite from you post:

“When occasions present themselves, in which the interests of the people are at variance with their inclinations, it is the duty of the persons whom they have appointed to be the guardians of those interests, to withstand the temporary delusion, in order to give them time and opportunity for more cool and sedate reflection.”

–Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 71

We really need to “withstand the temporary delusion, in order to give them time and opportunity for more cool and sedate reflection.”, don’t we?

We also need to apply the common sense of our Founding Fathers to our present quandary with the junk science of Anthropogenic Global Warming!

“If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave.”

–John Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
­­­­­­­­­________________

“The hour is fast approaching, on which the Honor and Success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding Country depend. Remember officers and Soldiers, that you are Freemen, fighting for the blessings of Liberty – that slavery will be your portion, and that of your posterity, if you do not acquit yourselves like men.”

–George Washington, General Orders, August 23, 1776

“If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute.” –Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

“It is an unquestionable truth, that the body of the people in every country desire sincerely its prosperity. But it is equally unquestionable that they do not possess the discernment and stability necessary for systematic government. To deny that they are frequently led into the grossest of errors, by misinformation and passion, would be a flattery which their own good sense must despise.” –Alexander Hamilton, speech to the Ratifying Convention of New York, 1788

Happy Thanksgiving wishes to RV, his family and readers!

Mark, welcome to rochesterconservative.com!

Debra, thanks for spreading the word on this issue. We need to hold our politicians feet to the fire, so that they reject “Cap and Tax” and any sort of treaty Obama may come home with from Copenhagen.

The time is now to refute the lie that is anthropogenic global warming!

Debra…
PS… Great write-up, RV. I posted it at my site, Informing Christians: http://www.debrajmsmith.com/112509HL1.html

We now have the proof. Let’s use it.

Cap and tax isn’t just about wealth redistribution, it’s about creating an establishment that picks winners and losers, having the ultimate power over who lives and who dies. Less interesting is the redistribution of wealth (though that is very damning) – I want to know who is going to appoint themselves to sit at the top of the chain.
