All in the name of the rich, who still prosper and live grand.

GW is a theory that has yet to be proved and people are trying to mandate what I do to solve a problem that has yet to be demonstrated as true. I live my life as I see fit and as Shatzee said, if you want to be green go for it but don't impose that on me.

I don't think it's stubbornly opposing liberal ideas, it is advocating for the freedoms this country's men and women have fought and died for. Each person should do what they feel they need to do in their lives. You want to go Green - more power to you. But for someone - anyone - to say we have no moral authority to do as we please, is dead wrong. We fought hard for these freedoms and the rights to do as we please. To try and shame people into doing what he thinks is best or what he believes will help other countries is outrageous and disgraceful. Furthermore, how come when someone wants to "help these other countries" by imposing on us, they turn around in the next breath and comment about how we don't believe in Iraq helping those people. Strange, isn't it? I disagree Adam. I don’t think it’s stubbornly opposing liberal ideas, it is advocating for the freedoms this country’s men and women have fought and died for.

You dug a moat around your house and said "See. This man is an island." Pathetic if you ask me...

The wars were real and a real threat to our existence. No such proof has been offered about GW. It is a theory that has yet to be proven and the cyclic history of weather casts doubt upon it. It is more likely a scam that allows some to get rich. Obama did not ask us to find a few things that will help, he specifically said we had no moral authority to ask the rest of the world to do it if we are driving SUVs, eating what we want or keeping our houses at a certain temperature. Who are we to look after the rest and demand they do this. I am not willing to change my lifestyle to appease other nations. I do what I do to make my costs lower but I will continue to drive my Jeep and as long as I can afford to put gas in it then screw Obama. Tell him to fly commercial...

Yet it wouldn't be the first time that Americans as individuals worked harder, went without, and gave up parts of their lifestyle in order to accomplish something great as a nation. America won both World Wars that way, you might recall. Of course you don't think it's that big of a deal but you're in the minority. It's not an issue of freedom, it's an issue of personal responsibility. You know, that term you like to spout about welfare and taxes and people using your hard earned money? It applies here too. Nobody is asking anybody to do anything drastic, just asking for each of us to figure out one or two things in our daily lives that we can change in order to cut down on excess and pollution. And if at the end of the day science discovers that global warming is not happening the way we think, then at least we have made things cleaner for the next generations. Or maybe you just hate clean air, water, and soil? You act like it’s some liberal bunk that Obama is preaching.
