Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Do you think we’ve ever had killer tornadoes touch down before, Sen. Kerry? According to the Associated Press, this was the worst storm of its kind in 23 years. So what happened 24 years ago? You think us fat cat Republicans driving around in our SUV’s spawned tornadoes in 1984?

It’s one thing to spout off about “the planet in peril” (thanks, CNN) or “the earth suffering from a fever” (classic Al Gore). But to hurt the grieving families of Tennessee and the other states impacted by somehow equating their loss with a man-made inspired weather condition is simply grotesque.

One can line up scientist after scientist who will happily refute “Dr.” Kerry’s assertion that global warming created the storms this week. But that doesn’t stop this crowd. They don’t let any facts get in the way of their rant.

They have the rich movie stars, hopping aboard their fuel-guzzling private jets, lecturing us on how many squares of toilet paper we can use in order to “save the planet.” They have the idiots at NBC deciding to seat their football sportscasters in the dark in order to brag that by saving electricity by not using studio lights, they are somehow “saving the planet” (I will NEVER forget an obviously annoyed Tikki Barber mumbling on-air about hoping the lights are back next week so viewers could actually see him).

In other words, these lunatics are out of control.

I’ve got a couple of recommendations for John “Mr. Weather Channel” Kerry: try to maintain some degree of decency and respect for the dead. Don’t play politics over the funerals of tornado victims.

And most of all, go back to what you’re good at: attempting to be relevant – but failing miserably.

Mike is retarded
I used to think that all Mike did was listen to Rush and take good notes, then go on the air and re-do Rush's show. If I was wrong then, maybe Mike ought to start copying Rush because Mike's show is the most retarded show on the radio. Seriously, you get paid? When does your hack book come out?

My Counter Rant
A wonderful rant by Mr Gallagher, and neatly coincident with the truth. Wait, that's no coincidence.

>In other words, these lunatics are out of control.

No, sir, they are _in_ control. And that is why it is a problem.

As for Global Warming, I'd be warmed a bit to it if it wasn't such a cabal of socialists, anti-Americans, and Chicken Little wannabes.

Really.
