"Why are these people so worried about the environment, anyway? It's not like they're living on this planet." ROTFALMAO!

Good one, Seth! :)

Gayle --

That's one reason I absolutely had to share that one. Julia Gorin's got it absolutely right.

C'mon, Seth,
You GOTTA believe in global warming. It will
put Frisco under 15 feet of water!

BB --

That would make for interesting fishing; in less than a month the entire bay would be full of rainbow trout.

Awesome...LOL and funny. I never thought of this in this manner...the real threats get disregarded because the idiOts like BoreGore don't have the testicular ability to fight these threats...so along comes Global Vorming...or- it gets worse by the MINUTE!! Haven't we seen enough of his HUFFING, and PUFFING or I'm GONNA BLOW YOUR HOUSE AWAY fearful sounding rhetoric???? LOL!!!

And DiCaprio says "We're in the 11th hour", LOL!

Raven, life wouldn't be half as hilarious without some liberals around to do the stand-up routines.

Thousands of scientists world wide who are in agreement that humans are adding to the warming trend by dumping tens of billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere are wrong.

Got it.

Yes, Arthur,

...and the ones most heard from are those living high on the hog off gov't & U.N. grants that would dry up if they said anything different.

In the usual fashion of the left, the other thousands of scientists who aren't living high on that particular hog who disagree don't count, because they aren't reading off the DNC approved bumper sticker.

I thought you liberals believed in a green world. Well, all them thar green things need C02 to survive, and in return, they give us back that thar oxeegin we kinda like havin' around.

Seth,
C'mon, even Pat Robertson is a convert. :-)

BB --

I am, too. I grew up in a Jewish conservative Democrat family in Queens, N.Y., but my mother did her 1960s as first a beatnik, then a working hippie, as was my last stepfather -- she got into advertising, he was a commercial artist. I was a liberal right through about the first half of the Carter Administration, and about that time I really started paying attention to what was going on around me -- it was a conspiracy, heh, first Carter taught me all that was wrong with liberalism, then Reagan taught me what was right about conservatism, and I never met either of them.

Imagine voting for Carter in one election, then Reagan in the next. 180 degrees, from Lala Land to the real world.

So, yeah, I, too, am a convert, even if I'm not converted to believing that man has a hand in "Global Warming", which, by the way, seems to boil down {no pun intended} to some picayune increments in temperature when the facts are laid bare, and nothing new where temperature cycles over the millenia are concerned.

Seth,
You definitely had a good upbringing, I'm glad you had sensible parents! Mine were Bob Taft Republicans. (sigh)

Seth-

In the usual fashion of the left, the other thousands of scientists who aren't living high on that particular hog who disagree don't count, because they aren't reading off the DNC approved bumper sticker.

In the actual fashion of the right, the scientists disputing conventional wisdom regarding the human contribution to climate change and pollution overwhelmingly are funded by the likes of BP. EXXON, Dow, Amgen, Coors, Olin, etc.

That's why they don't count Seth.

They aren't honest.

I was raised mostly by my grandparents, with a year here and there living with my mother. My grandparents were immigrants from the Ukraine and Poland who met in New York attending night school (he was learning English as his first priority, she was brushing up -- she spoke something like 5 or 6 languages).

They were real Democrats, not the liberal brand we see today -- both had grown up under oppressive circumstamces and both truly appreciated what America is all about. Or was, now that the left has succeeded in damaging it. My grandfather was big on the saying, "My Country, Right Or Wrong", and he meant it from the heart. He would be totally ashamed of his party today, and with good reason.

Your grandfather would be as eager as the rest of us to watch George, Dick, Karl, Rummy and the rest frog marched out of the White House and into a paddywagon.

No, Arthur, I wasn't raised by the kind of people (I certainly wouldn't want to meet them) that brought you up.

My grandparents would have supported their country and their President and let the polls, as intended, rather than the ACLU and the MSM, speak for the American people. Had they been around to see a blog like Daily KOS or the Democratic Underground, they would have shaken their heads in disbelief, wondering why these people, who were born here, didn't see America as they did.

The problem with you leftists, Arthur, is that you've all run so far away from the realm of reality that you are truly convinced that most people think the same way you do. Wake-Up Call, They Don't!

Seth,
We've discussed the Democrat strategies and agree they seem confused and directionless. Their success lately is to stand and wait while the GOP self-destructs..(it ain't the party your Grandparents knew)

You'd love my parents. Father a decorated WWII veteran. Mother a native Texan as friendly and outgoing as you'd expect.

Nor leaving well enough alone he continued:

More enthusiastic capitalists you'll never find. Likewise we pay our taxes. Volunteer in our communities and do all the other things a good citizen should do. Now racial discrimination, exual harrassment and poverty etc. didn't end with the election of Ronald Reagan so orgs like the ACLU continue to be necessary.

Finally he whined:

Yada yada yada. I know this drill. You and your friends and fellow conservatives care so much... blah blah blah. America down the tubes. Blah. Blah Blah.

Have a great weekend Seth.

Having read your other output, Arthur, I sincerely doubt anything you write of a biographical nature, because nobody who was raised in even the most remotely decent or patriotic way would hold your views, unless, and I say unless they are outpatients on strong meds suffering from serious emotional disorders, or worse, need to be undergoing treatment but aren't.

Seth blustered:

I say unless they are outpatients on strong meds suffering from serious emotional disorders, or worse, need to be undergoing treatment but aren't.

Typical response of the authoritarian mindset.

Incapable of dealing with the ambiguity, paradox & complexity of modern politics, culture & civics.

Have a great weekend Seth.

Arthur --

Your last two comments, especially the very last, would seem to indicate that you are becoming exercised.

When a liberal becomes thus upset, it generally means he or she has been frustrated because he or she cannot digest the truth.

My apologies if I am not as PC as you leftists would prefer that we all be, but such, as they say, is life.

Exercised?

You flatter yourself Seth.

Your quips about 'meds' and such are feeble.

Funny not vexing.
