Most
of the Republicans are completely out of touch with the mainstream of
the reasonable American populace. I'll admit that I agree with them
that there is not a scientific consensus on global warming, but going
so far as to pull out the Bible to prove that God won't flood the
world again? This is not science.
Whether
mankind is affecting global carbon dioxide levels does not matter;
arguing this point is a waste of time. It is politics and not
governance; it distracts from doing what needs to be done. Who cares
whether we sign the Kyoto Protocol? We can accomplish the same things
without relinquishing any degree of our sovereignty. Why should we
spend our time lobbying the government to impress the international
community? What really matters is that we utilize government to
compel those who pollute to compensate the people whose property they
damage. Enforce contracts, keep people from hurting one another.
That's the whole purpose of the government, nothing less, nothing
more.
People
who lead the Western lifestyle consume five times as much as the
average human being. An American woman who does everything she can to
reduce her carbon footprint still increases her impact on the
environment nearly forty-fold simply by giving birth twice.
Conservative Christian Republicans. Be fruitful and multiply my ass!
And
these are the people who are bitching the most about how Communist
China is going to own us within decades, some even going so far as to
say we should cut off all trade with them. China, with its 1.3
billion citizens, passed the one-child-only policy. Highly populated
countries like China are not the ones who need to reduce their
populations the most.
Western
civilizations like the United States and the European Union need to
reduce their populations. The 300 million Americans consume about as
much as the 1.3 billion Chinese.
Sure, a rapidly-industrializing nation like China, with its low environmental and consumer-safety standards, and its lack of concern for human, labor, and political rights, needs to be dealt with firmly, but what, are we going to impose sanctions on a fifth of the world's population, let them think we want to drag them into World War III just because of a few human rights violations?
Hell
no! We're going to continue to borrow two-thirds of a trillion
dollars from them every year until we can get our own population and
industry under control, and transform ourselves into the economic and
social good example for the rest of the world that we once were!
Mitt
Romney has bigamists in his ancestry, and the Republican leadership
is worried about losing jobs and industry to China. Give me a break.
