One could try to explain to Eco-Nazis that kindling helps to start a fire. While you’re at it, maybe also let them know that our cars no longer have carburetors and distributors for tuning-up? Barack and Nancy agree, tune-ups and proper tire inflation might save, by conservation, more oil than we could ever obtain by drilling. Meanwhile, I’m going to use their wind energy to take my sail-car to work for the next 6 months. Thanks, Barack, Nancy, and Harry, for all the help!

Conservative have dropped the ball by not holding liberals accountable for their continuing, unsuccessful, costly wars. The liberal's war against commercial logging, is one of several wars that liberals took the US into in the 1960s. Now 40 years later the US continues to lose this war. Forests are destroyed. The collateral damage in homes and lives lost is awful. One would think that those whose homes have been destroyed would have an excellent class action suit to pursue against the environmentalists behind the war against commercial logging. The other wars liberals foisted on the U.S. with disasterous results? For one, there is the war on poverty and the disasterous distruction of the black family that resulted. We have been in an asymetric war with liberals over issues like commercial logging, drilling and mining restrictions, and the various destructive spinoffs of affirmative action. Isn't it time to change our approach and pursue strategies at home that work in these asymetric wars? Perhaps conservatives have to stop being so conservative about governing and finally use the judicial system, as the liberals have, to bypass the legislature in order to deal with bad law and to hold accountable those responsible for disasterous liberal designed policies.

Since 2000, millions of acres have burned. Any self respecting "scientist" could tell you that the open combustion of celluosic material has a resultant CO2 emission. I wonder how much CO2 has been released? I wonder how much methane has been released from decomposition? I suppose both could be considered tacit "anthropogenic" emissions as humans have not allowed other humans to do the right thing and maintain our forestlands. These idiot "environmentalists" can't see the forest for all the trees. Normal people can't see the forest for all the smoke. Time for people to wake up and demand common sense management practices before the point becomes moot.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
