Global Warming Is Not a Crisis

I keep hearing that the Democrats aren’t cohesive. They aren’t consistent. They don’t speak with one voice. Well, the real problem is that some people have chosen to hi-jack the party. There are single issue items that fringe groups have chosen to beat on, in order to diminish and divide the party. And while the GOP is flailing with their own issues, it’s the Democrats who just don’t know how to control these fringe elements.

This is what I believe the Core of Values of the Democratic Party should be:

• Service to Country and Community


• Protectors of the Bill of Rights


• Defender of poor and middle-class

That’s it, and from there you build your philosophy.

Service to Country and Community means that you join the military and support and defend it. You run for public office, you help out in every and any aspect of community support. It should be a party philosophy that includes a high degree of ethical conduct. After all, as employees government, it really means we’re servants of the people.

Protectors of the Bill of Rights means that we stand by to protect all of the Bill of Rights, not just one’s that we agree in. Without #1, it is difficult to keep the rest, and we’re having a difficult time getting the youth of today to understand that. We can’t roll over and allow any of the US Constitution to be trampled upon.

The poor and middle-class represent the bulk of the working class of American Society. If our people, our citizens are unable to support themselves, then the downfall of America is assured. It is important that every segment of American life is presented the opportunity to succeed. Supporting programs that help give a step up to poor and middle-class citizens is an important way that everyone has a chance to be their best.

When people think of some of the most evil people in the world Hitler tops the list, he’s way beyond Saddam Hussein and all these others, why? Because he was after world domination, and did everything in his power to try and get it, not to mention the killing of over 6 million Jews, 6 million Russians, and millions of other people.

So now Al Gore, former VP of the US puts out a movie that says, here is the science, and I believe that we need to fix this problem with the environment.

What’s a normal response from an opposition? Ah yes, here’s my conclusions based on this science, and it is totally different. But no, that’s not what we’ve got, instead, we have people who revert to evoking the name of Hitler, when they use Gore’s name.

Honestly I’ve never heard of Bill Gray, I suppose he’s looking for his 15 minutes, and figures he’ll do his worst to get it. But based upon what I read, he’s unprofessional; owes Al Gore a public apology, and owes the Meterologist community his resignation.

Understand, this is hardly a defense of Al Gore but rather it is about choosing your words when you want to make outrageous remarks. Call ‘em crazy, call ‘em emotional, but refer to him as an evil dictator whose aim is to exterminate and dominate?

Besides, I don’t trust meterologists all that much, let’s face it, what other job do you get to keep even when you’re wrong, and no one really gets on you much if you are wrong.
