Destroying America

Contrary to what John McCain says, the global warming debate is not over. In fact, there has never even been a debate. Dissent has been silenced by global warming totalitarians such as Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe, both of whom have behaved disgracefully. There is even talk that doubters should be put on trial merely for holding a different opinion. Concentration camps, too?

The chicken little hysteria on this subject has been blown out of all proportion. But, just for the sake of argument, let’s say that Mr. McCain, who is so desperate to be president that he thinks this is the way to achieve that, is right. In that case, I expect Congress to lead by example.

There will be no more flying back and forth to D.C. Teleconferencing has come of age. Everyone can stay in their home districts and still conduct business quite nicely. They can have press conferences at home.

Every single global enthusiast in Congress will buy a hybrid vehicle, immediately. No more gas-guzzling SUVs for them.

There will be no more political junkets involving airplanes or internal-combustion vehicles of any kind. In fact, I fully expect Congress to ban airplanes in the near future.

Every single global warming enthusiast in Congress must refrain from using an air conditioner in the summer.

Finally, and for obvious reasons, spicy foods must be banned. Eventually, of course, cows will have to be banned and the remaining ones slaughtered.

When every single global warming enthusiast in Congress has embraced these ideas, and they are only the beginning, then and only then will I even start to believe that global warming is actually the problem that alarmists say it is. If they refuse to put their money where their mouths are, then we will all know for a fact that global warming is simply another bandwagon they have chosen to jump on in order to score political points since, of course, the good of America will always come second to their own immediate needs.
