The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Some random thoughts....

I typically do not like governance by polls. However, when such a vast majority of Americans want true border enforcement prior to any discussion of what to do with the existing 12 million illegals, I do not understnd why there is such a push on the stupid amnesty bill once again.

If it were not for Jimmy Carter, I would now have to agree that GWB is the worst President of my lifetime, no doubt, and perhaps one of the worst in history. If it weren't for his tax cuts (and maybe a couple of other things as well), I'd have no love for the man at all.

Two recent articles provide some of the reasons I do not subscribe to man made global warming....
This one....

As recently as 6,000 years ago, it was about 3C warmer than now. Ten thousand years ago, while the world was coming out of the thou-sand-year-long "Younger Dryas" cold episode, temperatures rose as much as 6C in a decade -- 100 times faster than the past century's 0.6C warming that has so upset environmentalists.

And this one...

The other greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and various others including CFCs, contributed only five per cent of the effect, carbon dioxide being by far the greatest contributor at 3.6 per cent.

However, carbon dioxide as a result of man's activities was only 3.2 per cent of that, hence only 0.12 per cent of the greenhouse gases in total.

I hate non smoking laws. Private property is private property. Even though I hate being around smoke.

Trent Lott is an a$$. Now that talk radio isn't supporting something he wants (immigration reform bill), we must "do something" about how talk radio is "running the country". He seems to forget who came to his defense during the whole Strom Thurmond uproad. Putz.

It brings me great joy to see support for McCain falling. I don't know anything about Fred Thompson. I so desperately want someone in the image of Reagan....could he be the man? No one else in the field is, but I don't know about him.

That is all I can find to rant about at present.
