Since I do not support the dogma of Global Warming as the indisputable Word of the One Most High, I must be a traitor as well. Wow. So much for my electing not to own an SUV, airplane or motor boat or for the recycling and composting I’ve done for over 20 years.

Clearly, the only question remaining is punishment. In a time of war, execution is appropriate, but I’m not talking about the war in Iraq where our troops are fighting and dying for our right to pursue this foolishness. The Left considers that little more than a bumper sticker. No, I’m talking about the only war the Left considers serious: the war against Mother Nature and global climate change.

The Left is against capital punishment so they wouldn’t want to see me shot. Well, most on the Left wouldn’t. I could be branded with the scarlet letter “A” for adulterer of the earth, but the Left views branding as torture, so I would have to be stenciled.

Or, there is the possibility of spending a week in the public stocks right on Market Square. “Greenies” could walk by hurling devastating insults like, “meat eater”, “non Prius driver,” “carbon emitter.” They could throw organic vegetables at me and gather them back up for recycling in their compost piles.

The most frightening prospect would be to be strapped to a chair in a theater, Al Gore on the stage delivering a wooden, ponderous, hypocritical lecture on carbon emissions, with an Inconvenient Truth flashing in the background. I’m afraid it would take twelve Amazons from Code Pink to hold me down.

The hypocrisy of these pontificating, bloviating, politicians and rock stars is staggering. It is estimated that 222,623.63 miles were flown by these people to make an extravaganza that a mere 2 million people in this country elected to view. The 298 million who wisely did something else must all be traitors, like John and Glen and me. Carbonfootprint.com, hardly a right wing group, estimates that these concerts produced 31,500 tons of carbon emissions in one go. The average Brit produces 10 tons per year.

I may be guilty of treason as defined by RFK, Minor, but Al Gore is guilty of assaulting the intelligence of humanity. He is also guilty of murder. He is boring us to death.

Judd Gregg vs Burt Cohen

On June 28th the Senate did the right thing and saved the country from S1639, euphemistically called The Amnesty Bill for Illegal Aliens, a bill which 80% of the country recognized as a recipe for disaster. It wasn’t because of anything Judd Gregg did.
