I am saddened that there are people who think we can do whatever we want and nature will take care of it. We have a very real impact on our environment and need to act at least somewhat responsibly or our children will be the ones paying the price.
And I am saddened that under the pressure and influence of an out of control Liberal media with an agenda, that many blindly accept that the mere passage of a few trivial laws, and enactment of new taxation to pay for their effects, we can somehow greatly impact a natural phenomena that was set in motion at the creation of this earth - and has been causing SERIOUS climate changes LONG before we had industry, SUV's or other man-made nasties to blame them on, or make them happen.
The USA has been the greatest country in the world - and the absolute envy of all the others - but many in foreign lands, as well as our own, continually work at attempting to slip a gigantic guilt-trip upon us - to make us in this great land ASHAMED of our existence - and to make/force us PAY for the fact we do exist, even though many of those countries are very dependent upon us for what they live on and consume!
Pretty strange that even as some of this nation's critics bellyache about us, they tear down our fences in their efforts to illegally enter the country they so desperately claim to dispise!
When many in foreign countries criticize the USA, thay are often talking with their mouths full of USA produced food - and living on soil fertilized with the blood of USA soldiers who died so they could continue speaking in English and French - or whatever their native tongue, instead of German or Japanese - and the freedom they now use to blast and criticise us in this country was bought and paid for by the blood of USA soldiers who PAID for that freedom with their lives!
If the liberal whiners in those countries want to call me an "ugly American" for my attitude, fine - and while they're at it, they can also kiss my ugly American arse!
I don't buy into that line of class envy crap, and feel sorry for those who do! What we do consume in this country in terms of energy, and then exhaust in by-products, is VASTLY outpaced by what we PROVIDE for our own population and the peoples of other countries in terms of items that feed, clothe and shelter them at a far better level than they would otherwise have access to - and NO, *I* am not ashamed of that fact - or ABOUT to weakly accept any form of political or special interest punishment for it!
We're all being exposed to political and special interest brain washing - and far too many are willingly trailing along like the kids mesmerized and following the Pied Piper of Hamlin...
