So if the Atlanta Urinal refuses to report on Al Gore’s bald faced hypocrisy, then everyone else who does is considered petty?:

It’s good to be king, as Mr. Gore has discovered. No one begrudges his payoff on an early in Google-stock fortune, reportedly worth scores of millions of dollars. Good for Al, Tipper and their four grown children that they and their guests have 20 rooms and eight bathrooms in which to sprawl. Mr. Gore’s more bizarre suggestions aside, it’s no sin to be prosperous. But presuming to tell the average consumer how to live while enjoying a lifestyle many, many times more lavish is another matter. This is a “let them eat cake” moment, and it should be remembered every time Mr. Gore scolds the rest of us for overconsumption of electricity. Sure, Al. We’ll think about it once you start practicing what you preach.

It’s sick and weird to spend the day telling people they consume too much resources and then go home at night to your very own sprawling energy monster, but it’s even more strange for cartoon boy to try and excuse this away as Fox’s fault.

I thought the whole reason you pinkos jumped Ted Haggard for being gay was because he didn’t practice what he preached?

How is this any different?

It’s not as though we were not expecting this silliness.

Blessedly, serious people will not take it seriously.

The 50,999,897 people who voted for Mr. Gore in 2000 are serious people. They are our base.

The 50,456,002 people who voted for Mr. Bush, mostly regret it and have come to question the smear machine.

No worries, mate.

Consider this, the made-up TN group that’s pushing this bull dookey, has to try to smear the man himself – not his work.

Extremist Right wing folks who last week wouldn’t believe anything from ABC or CNN are now hanging on their every word, saliva running down their chins and a green glow in their beady little eyes.

Remember, Climate Change Deniers will go down in history like the Holocaust Deniers. Foolish, evil and out of touch with reality. These people fall into 2 categories. Stupid, as in they can’t see what’s happening with their own eyes. Or they are w*******, as in gaining some comfort or profit from the rape of the planet.

Al Gore cares for the environment? And the poor? And the oppressed? Then he should literally put his money where his mouth is! He should sell his houses and move into an efficiency apartment. He should take all of the money that he and his family made off of various investments including Occidental Petroleum and tobacco interests and give it to the poor. Finally, he and Tippler should move to the Sudan and fight oppression in Darfour! Then I might take him seriously.

1 - Al Gore’s hypocrisy has nothing to do with George Bush. That is a meaningless reference. The fact that the extremely wealthy can pay carbon tax fees for their extreme usage doesn’t reduce CO2. The fact that Al uses 20X the energy as the average US citizen, charters private aircraft, and travels around in huge land yachts diminishes the effectiveness of his message. There are plenty of people that look at him as a “do as I say, not as I do” kind of person.

2- “Climate Change Deniers will go down in history like the Holocaust Deniers.” One thing I would like to understand, when guaging that 0.7 degree increase since 1905, is exactly what type of satellite and infrared equipment were we using to measure global temperature in 1905?

I don’t deny climate change, but I would like definitive proof that:

Currently, it will continue

It is more than just a result of solar and geothermal activity, which by the way, minor fluctuations in such have a much greater impact than fluctuations in greenhouse gases.

It is reversable

It is the absolute direct result of human behavior that can be changed on a global scale, not just in the US.

If all of the above can be definitively proven, I’m on board. But as of 8:30 on 2/28, I am not convinced.

A little satire for YOU ml:

“In ANOTHER SETBACK for the former vice president, a group of scientists meeting in Oslo, Norway, today said that Gore was growing at an unsustainable rate. “The polar ice caps may be shrinking, but Al Gore is clearly expanding,” said Dr. Hiroshi Kyosuke of the University of Tokyo.”

“The scientists concluded that if Gore continues to expand at his current rate, he could cause the earth to spin off its axis by 2010, sending it hurtling into the sun. “Here’s an inconvenient truth,” Dr. Kyosuke added. “Al’s got to stay away from those carbs.””

Al Gore and his “documentary”. You know, some would call such a one sided documentary propaganda. Fortunately we all know only the right wing promotes propaganda and liberals are the true holders of all things true in the world.

I find it intriguing how such a complex issue, like global climate change, can be simplified to one variable by America’s smartest. I have some questions about the whole global warming hysteria.

One, what would be the lag time in realizing any benefits from changed behavior? During the industrial revolution the US was largely agricultural and had very little tree cover in many areas. So then factories were pumping CO2 and there were fewer trees to absorb that CO2. Since then we have become cognizant of many products contributing to some aspects of climate change and we adjusted accordingly. What would be the lag time in realizing the benefits of the things just mentioned?

Two, the surface of this planet has been changing for millennia and many (not just flat earthers) say our global climate follows solar cycles and the sun has been more active the last couple of decades.

Three, only three percent of the Earth’s water is fresh but the population is expanding exponentially and that population demands more and more of the limited supply of fresh water. There is a lot of fresh water frozen in glaciers and such. Might future generations of humans benefit from new sources of fresh water outside the Earth’s water cycle?

I don’t have time to continue but I would like to say these are not questions raised by Hannity, Faux or any of the left’s other straw men arguments. But, it is interesting that “Man Made Global” warming transfers more power over the economy to the government, is promoted by government through grants and research. Take this into consideration and look how the traditional party of more government power over the economy is the biggest “advocate” of the power transfer. It is also funny how the ones who call themselves the truth seekers and call people who disagree with them fascist watch their own party confiscate private sector profits to pursue politicians “goals”. Some would see the hostile take over of private sector profits as a little fascistic, but of course America’s truth seekers and fascist accusers don’t see it that way as they eat up the one sided “documentaries” that others would call propaganda.

SAN DIEGO - The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection hours before it was scheduled to go to trial in the first of more than 140 lawsuits accusing priests of sexual abuse — a filing that automatically halted court proceedings scheduled for Wednesday. (Lawyers for the victims) accused the church of using the bankruptcy filing as a way to keep potentially embarrassing information under wraps.

“For three years they’ve told people they want to settle, they want to be transparent,” said John Manly, a lawyer for a plaintiff whose lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in April, “but the moment it became clear the truth will come out through a jury trial, they sought to shut down victims’ ability to get compensated and get out the truth.”

Neo-puritans sweep another child rape scandal under the altar in order to save face.

Let’s see now, how do we rationalize this one. Oh yeh, ‘We can’t hold the church accountable because’: they’re saving the money for more victims, or it would violate the victims privacy, or takin money from the church really takes money from the mouths of starving children, or the church itself didn’t do wrong only the priests who acted wrongly should pay, or maybe just an ambiguous ‘God works in mysterious ways’. I’ll leave the rest of the rationalizing to our local coven of neos.

Is there any act that a neo-puritan will not rationalize ‘for the(ir) greater good’?

Here he proves he completed a course in Liberalism 101 -

Any idiot with half a brain knows that N.O. was decimated because it exists below sea level and a very high risk of flooding, should inadequate levees break loose. The prudent thing to do would be to allow the water levels to exist naturally, which is to say, allow the lake to engulf N.O. and rebuild nearby above sea level.

“If the people who support doing something about CO2 emissions are wrong about global warming, the result will still be cleaner air.” Yes, definitely. I am all for reduction of CO2, as the level currently isn’t natural, and especially of cutting polution. How many libs on this board are getting 36+ mpg like me?

“If the CO2 emissions deniers get their way and they are found to be wrong, the result is global climate catastrophe.” That would be bad.

Al Gore’s Oscar/Nobel Acceptance Speech (Draft)

Climate change is a modern-day equivalent of class struggle. Global Warming is an easily understood, historically inevitable concept in Marxist Science designed to help the Party to crush capitalism and fulfill mankind’s utmost desire to redistribute wealth and establish a centralized global government with an army of enlightened bureaucrats running a planned global economy based on world-wide quotas and five-year plans.

The importance of Global Warming for the Revolution is too great to leave it in the hands of scientists. The masses must believe that it is beneficial to have faith in Global Warming whether it can be proven or not. If Global Warming didn’t exist it would be necessary to invent it.

Vinod Khosla is rocking after barely two years — Khosla (pictured below), the Silicon Valley venture capitalist who hit it big during the telecom boom in the 1990s, turned two years ago to embrace green technoloy. We thought his outlandish bets on untested technologies such as celulosic ethanol - which most experts caution will be only be commercially viable in two years, at the earliest — would take some time to show results.

Yet his investment in Cambridge, Mass.-based Celunol last year (we believe it was May; we’re checking) as part of a $60 million venture capital round, has already yielded fruit. San Diego’s Diversa just bought the company for about $182.45 million. Cellulosic ethanol is a process that uses non-food plants and other waste to make ethanol, and it is much more efficient, and thus better for the environment, than regular corn-based ethanol.

The Bush’s are ROLLING IN IT; due to their ties with Saudi Oil and Haliburton stock, Cheney’s Haliburton stock probably TRIPLED since the Iraq mess; so they wanna begrudge Gore some money? At least he made his the old fashioned way, he earned it from his sweat (smarts), not some one else’s blood, (Cheney/Bush).

G’Morning, N-GA

Couldn’t tell from your 8:44 if the topic was global warming or personal energy consumption. I gather from your later posts it was global warming.

Agree with your trash the messenger comment. It does, though, seem to be all the rage to trash Fox News. I don’t care much for Gibson - that aside, I can think of his arguments independent of his persona without broadstroking the entire network. Rather like Olbermann over at MSNBC - he says things that make many on this forum look tame - but no where do I hear a wholesale condemnation of MSNBC.

One can look at Gore regarding global warming and question his conclusions, let alone methodology - yet just because he makes some pretty far-out comments doesn’t mean one should outright dismiss the entire theory of global warming. Rather like an astronomer who says the “Big Bang” took a week - doesn’t mean we should dump the idea of an expanding universe.

I hear a common thread about the contradiction of advocating doing with less while maintaining an opposing lifestyle. Even that can be discussed without trashing Gore. Rather like that Haggard guy - yeah, he preached some good ideas (and some nutty ones), he didn’t follow what he preached - still doesn’t mean the principles advocated weren’t worthwhile.

I’m out for cleanup after some of the workmen left - I’ll be in off and on so excuse a nontimely response. BTW - home remodeling (let alone new construction) would grind to a halt without our workers from south of the border (who were here until after 9pm some nights, as the job had to get done). And yeah, they got paid well -

Just can’t trust those ba$tard$ can you?

The Department of Defense’s number two official appears to imply in a memo that the Global War on Terrorism will end just in time for the presidential election in November 2008. The contents of the document are outlined in a column in today’s Washington Post.

Al Kamen, who writes the Post’s “In The Loop” column, cited a pair of memos written by Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England in today’s paper. The first memo was written Dec. 6 and sent to top military and civilian officials. It identifies eight priorities for the coming fiscal year, and the first of them is to “Win the Global War on Terrorism.”

In a second memo from Feb. 15, England writes that “to ensure that warfighters and taxpayers receive maximum benefit from on-going initiatives, it would be highly desirable to complete current projects by the summer/fall of 2008.”

England then provides a quarterly grid with the same eight priorities from the December memo and “expected milestone conclusion dates” for each one.

As Kamen points out, the first priority of winning the global terror war from the earlier memo is included on the grid, and “looks to be over around October 2008.”

The next presidential election will occur in November 2008, a month later.

Kamen’s full column can be accessed at the Washington Post’s website.

Brian - rich people caring about poor people are not hypocrites. Many have helped out and continue to help out. My problem is that Al Gore is soooo over the top in his criticisms of those who are even moderately well off that it boggles the mind. This is a jerk who has never sent his children to public schools, and he never went to them either. He also never rode a school bus nor did his children. This example is just the tip of the iceberg. If he is truly so concerned he needs to practice what he preaches. I think that he is in his own way more despicable than the great robber barons because they made no pretense whatsoever about caring. I also would like to mention again that a huge part of the Gore family fortune was made from fossil fuels - specifically Occidental Petroleum! He also uses private jets to fly around making his pronouncements - once more showing us that he really believes he is too good to hang with the masses - even in first class!

While it is not unusual for big political donors to be rewarded with ambassadorships — and Fox is a huge donor to all things Republican — what made everyone take note of this guy is that Fox gave a whopping $50,000 to help fund the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth smear campaign against John Kerry in 2004.

According to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Alishtari was arrested “on attempt charges of terrorism financing, material support of terrorism, and international money laundering, as well as additional charges of conspiracy and wire fraud.” Despite that, the House Republicans are keeping on to Alishtari’s contributions.

ForeignPolicy.com has a horribly depressing feature titled “Who Wins in Iraq?” Let me give you a hint - it ain’t us. Four years, tens of thousands of deaths and untold billions of dollars and the big winners are:

While numbers 1 and 2 are bad, their assessment of Al Qaeda is especially troubling:

“Before the United States invaded Iraq, al Qaeda was on the ropes. The United States and its coalition partners had rousted it from Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban, while a global manhunt was steadily shutting down jihadist cells from Morocco to Malaysia. Perhaps equally important, many Islamists, including fellow jihadists, harshly criticized bin Laden for having rashly attacked a superpower and, in doing so, causing the defeat of the Taliban, the only “true” Islamic regime in the eyes of many radicals.

Then the invasion of Iraq breathed new life into the organization. On an operational level, the United States chose to divert troops to Iraq rather than consolidate its victory in Afghanistan and increase its chances of hunting down bin Laden. Today, al Qaeda is reconstituting itself in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Politically, Iraq vindicated bin Laden’s argument that the primary enemy of the Muslim world was not the local Muslim autocrats, but the “faraway enemy,” the United States”

Just peachy. Any other enemies we want to help out with our foreign policy? It’s a good thing Bush wasn’t in charge of WWII.

The vice president spent the night at the airbase, and the attack took place at around 10:30 the next morning. This was plenty of time for reported bomber Mullah Abdul Rahim to get his plan together, which apparently involved trying to infiltrate Bagram disguised as a local laborer or in a delivery truck. Not exactly 9/11 caliber. When this approach quickly failed Rahim took out some targets of opportunity near the gate, though far fewer people were killed than initial reports indicated. Bottom line is that this was not a triumph of the crafty adversary and his superior intelligence network, but the impromptu exploitation of an opportunity presented by the delayed visit, based on “intelligence” freely available to anybody in the world. And, one might add, it was a total failure.

wonder where that “reputable” organization got their facts?

probably the same place most wingnuts get them: pulled them out of their a$$.

oh yes, about that “policy center”:

I have no problem with “think-tanks” scrutinizing Al Gore, but (a) for The Tennessee Center for Policy Research to call itself an independent and nonpartisan organization is laughable and (b) if they want to maintain that facade, try getting the full story at least. (Nicole: Do you suppose that they are equally up in arms by the fact that taxpayers are paying Dick Cheney’s electric bill at the Vice President’s mansion? You know, the one that had an $186,000 electric bill in 2001? Nah, that probably doesn’t bother them in the least.)

Oh yeah, I remember! Julius Hammer, father of Armand and FOUNDER OF U.S. COMMUNIST PARTY Armand Hammer, founder of the Occidental Petroleum company and lifelong friend and benefactor of Albert Gore Sr as well as lifelong friend of Joseph (Uncle Joe) Stalin who’s purges resulted in the deaths of Millions. Remained close to Albert Gore Jr. until his death lavishly bestowing his largesse until the end. * Lenin presented an inscribed portrait to “Comrade Armand Hammer” in 1921, The inscription has Lenin in parentheses & Ulanioff, his birth name.

He went on to consider the policy implications of this American Cold War obsession. “My own belief is that this form of psychological ailment — in this case a national madness — leads the victim to actually create the thing which is feared the most. It strikes me that this is precisely what the U.S. has been doing. Creating — and if not creating, energetically supporting — fascist, totalitarian regimes in the name of fighting totalitarianism.

Rushnap - if you cannot figure out the similarities with the Balkans and Iraq, then you are the one with the problem. Divided ethnic and religious loyalties are central to the conflicts in both areas. Serbia, like Iraq, was an artificially created state (mostly old Turkish then Austrian territory) and is frought with pitfalls. Bosnia-Hercegovina is an area where there is no majority at all. The largest group is the Bosnian Muslims which make up only 40% of the population. We became involved in Serbia after ethnic cleansing and horrors against not only Bosnians but against Albanian Muslims in Kosovo. That was the right thing to do even though the radical Islamists give us no credit in that area. You cannot please some people. In Iraq Clinton bombed Saddam because of continuing abuses against the Kurds and the Shi’ites. The Kurds are still thankful. The Shi’ites are too blinded by religious hatred to give credit to anyone who is not of their persuasion. That is the crux of the entire problem - factionalism. Again, the similarities are everywhere. See, I back my opinions with cold hard facts, not from fiction and fantasy! P.S. I have read T.E. Lawrence!

I see from your link where the first sergeant (senior liason with the commander for the enlisted personnel) and other supervisory NCOs were relieved - I’d guess because they allowed the interviews in the first place. The military isn’t like the rest of society - there are severe limits on speech, association - things others take for granted. One can even be tried in the equivalent of federal court for making disparaging comments about elected officials - one general was fired at the beginning of Pres Clinton’s administration for making disparaging remarks. Punishment? Sure - for being stupid and arrogant. Punishment for the Wilford Hall people? Sure - but it’s more in line of an attention-getter. Most military units stress no one talks to the press about in-house topics unless cleared by Public Affairs. Wrong? No - it’s another world and that’s just the way it is.

And thanks for the MSNBC clarification. I’ve listened to Olbermann numerous times - never heard him say that (one can say many of the things he does about the administration and be a conservative).

[Clinton didn’t attack a sovereign nation.] Well, unless those cruise missiles landed on some private South Pacific or Caribbean island, I’d guess a sovereign nation was involved.

How much does Green Power Switch cost? Green Power Switch is sold to residential consumers in 150-kilowatt-hour blocks (about 12 percent of a typical household’s monthly energy use). Each block adds $4 to the customer’s monthly power bills. Consumers may buy as many blocks as they like. In other parts of the country, residential consumers who participate in green power programs pay an extra $2 to $10 per month for green power. Green Power Switch is also marketed to commercial and industrial consumers, who are asked to buy blocks based on the amount of energy they use.

Hindsight is a miraculous thing isn’t it You can be right 100% of the time with the slate wiped clean and brand new facts brought to the table.

Maybe slavery would have run its course without the Civil War. Maybe we could have waited for Nazism and fascism to “run its course” too?

Maybe if the Left didn’t literally prop up Communist dictators Communism would have run its course a lot faster.

You think?

Maybe if the Left didn’t serve as cheerleaders for Al Qaeda’s propaganda machine we might get out of Iraq faster too.

Daniel - Pope Pius XI was the ultimate anti-war fellow - to the point of supporting the Fascists. The fact is that wars are sometimes necessary. I remember that the British were roundly condemned by almost everyone for prosecuting the Boer Wars to an ultimate victory - the most vociferous condemnations came from liberals like William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson. Despite that the British prevailed. Unfortunately, they threw it away only a few years later in a cowardly act of appeasement. We cannot afford to make that mistake in Iraq, and that is why we cannot leave now. Wars are messy.

Yeah, “right wing” Fox “news” has this buried under a hysterical, shrieking article about a 10 victim suicide bombing:

The attacks came two weeks into a joint U.S.-Iraqi plan to halt burgeoning violence in Baghdad. Iraq’s spokesman for the plan, Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Mousawi, praised a “remarkable decrease” in the level of violence in recent weeks. “The level of terrorist attacks have sharply dropped,” al-Mousawi said. At least 70 militants have been killed and more than 450 arrested in Baghdad since the plan was announced Feb. 12, he said. More than 10,000 rounds of ammunition were confiscated in raids, al-Mousawi added.

Endorsing Hillary and spreading Al Qaeda propaganda, yes, they’re full blown wingnuts alright.

Neo-thinkers seem to be claiming that Al Gore is makin everybody in the country watch his movie. They claim that Gore is preaching to everyone else and making them conserve, while wasting energy himself.

Now the problem with that neo-thought is that Al Gore has not passed any law, no regulations, no acts, in fact the only thing he has done is call the citizenry to VOLUNTARY action through the film medium. Neos hate the very thought that the citizenry would be ASKED to do something important.

Neos want to TELL everyone in the world exactly what they are allowed to do at all times. Don’t want to have your mail read by government spies? Tough, nobody asked you! Don’t want to have your phone conversations recorded? Too bad, who cares! Don’t want your port operations turned over to foreign countries? Speak when you’re spoken to! Don’t want our troops in Iraq? STFU neos know better and ignore the voice of your midterm mandate altogether. How dare you think that anyone other than a neo should have a VOLUNTARY voice!

Fascists will never undestand the concept of a VOLUNTARY call to action. It is against their very nature and completely incomprehensable to them, sort of like describing a rainbow to a person who was never sighted. The very concept of freedom is totally abhorent to neo-thought!

Oh whats a poor NeoCon to do, but disparage Gore for his mansion. They try to compare the energy usage of his full blown “Mansion” (complete with guesthouse) to the average (regular home) user in Tennesee. Heck does the average home user in Tennessee even have Electricity yet?

Ohhhh and Gore pays say (x) amount in money for his electricity. But the electricity he is buying (through the electric company) is their Green Electricity produced from re-usable resources. In otherwords his house electricity comes from 100% renewables!

Uhh does the average Tennessee home even use 1% in renewable “Green” energy or do they just save their money for the local Tractor Pull?

Last but not least, people are saying that Gore should move into a smaller energy efficient common home like other folk.

Yep - Him and every other (ahem) “Vice President”! Cheney are you hearing this??? You gotta move into an efficient home after you leave office!

Heck maybe even the former Presidents should too. Bush Senior? gotta eliminate that Thousand points of light!

And certainly former Senators!

So write your Georgia Senators and tell them they need to move into an environmentally efficient home, and pay top dollar for their “Green” electricity. Just like Al!~!

I did however, correct you on your misconception of when Americans went to WAR and the statement that you made that CLINTON started a war. I guess FACTS aren’t your strong point is it?

{{By the way Debbie - you left Korea and Vietnam off the list. Did you do that because they were “conflicts” in which we became involved under Democrat Presidents (Truman and Kennedy)?

Edwin, if you recheck my post VietNam was mentioned, Korea wasn’t mentioned because it was not listed as a “WAR” or as a Military engagemetn authorized by Congress; Korea was was not a war authorized by the U.S. Congress. President Harry S. Truman cited authority under United Nations resolutions. Major US Military involvement began with Task Force Smith on July 5, 1950.

My goodness rushncap, you truly are an excellent case study. Through my observations, I can conclude that you are afflicted with a multitude of delays. Let’s look at them one by one:

Overall, your reading comprehension skills clearly place you at a disadvantage. Often times I will instruct my kids to use their fingers to follow the words.

You may, however, need to give up your extra curricular activities to follow along as you read. I hope you’re willing to make that sacrifice.

A.D.D. also seems to plague you. It was only yesterday that you used a non-existent word “senile-hood”. Not even a compound modifying hyphen can combine those two, and be correlated for the average reader. But you’re special.

The word you should have used was “senility”.

I tried to give you a similar sounding word with relative correlation. “Penile-wood”, clearly those two can relate, one to the other. But yet, you read it as “penile-hood”. Now I’ve heard tell that such a thing exists; just not in my world. Maybe yours?

There I will concede that your OCD may have kicked in and confused you.

But it’s the letter identification that concerns me. Tell me, what letters do you see below:

TUG - PUG

HOOD - WOOD

SENILE - PENILE

Now, onto the more adult things you also mentioned yesterday. Yes rushncap, I’m an excellent dancer. Take my hands (please wash yours first) and let me lead. I’m going to teach you the “Two-Step Entendre”. One…two…one…two…during yesterday’s dance I whispered:

Personally, I don’t think you have the wherewithall to (((pull it off))) nor would I want you to for numerous reasons.

(((I would not want harm to come to you or any innocent bystanders.)))

This item about Al Gore’s non-existent “green energy” usage is from USA Today as recently as last December:

Then there is the troubling matter of his energy use. In the Washington, D.C., area, utility companies offer wind energy as an alternative to traditional energy. In Nashville, similar programs exist. Utility customers must simply pay a few extra pennies per kilowatt hour, and they can continue living their carbon-neutral lifestyles knowing that they are supporting wind energy. Plenty of businesses and institutions have signed up. Even the Bush administration is using green energy for some federal office buildings, as are thousands of area residents.

But according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his (3) large residences. When contacted Wednesday, Gore’s office confirmed as much but said the Gores were looking into making the switch at both homes. Talk about inconvenient truths.

Translation for rushncap and others:

The high costs of Gorebot’s energy bills from last year cannot be from using “green energy”.

Army units will forgo desert training By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer Tue Feb 27, 12:48 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Rushed by President Bush’s decision to reinforce Baghdad with thousands more U.S. troops, two Army combat brigades are skipping their usual session at the Army’s premier training range in California and instead are making final preparations at their home bases.

ADVERTISEMENT

Some in Congress and others outside the Army are beginning to question the switch, which is not widely known. They wonder whether it means the Army is cutting corners in preparing soldiers for combat, since they are forgoing training in a desert setting that was designed specially to prepare them for the challenges of Iraq.

1) Gore’s family has taken numerous steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their private residence, including signing up for 100 percent green power through Green Power Switch, installing solar panels, and using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology.

2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand. Gore’s office explains:

What Mr. Gore has asked is that every family calculate their carbon footprint and try to reduce it as much as possible. Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gore’s do, to bring their footprint down to zero.

(((And for Buy Danish here is the important part)))

The Tennessean elaborates, “Gore purchased 108 blocks of ‘green power’ for at least each of the last three months, according to a summary of bills from Nashville Electric Service… The green power purchased by Gore in those three months is equivalent to recycling 2.48 million aluminum cans, or recycling 286,092 pounds of newspaper, according to comparison figures on the utility’s Web site.”

Oh Edwin,

I’m totally liberal and I don’t call names.

Just look at what Andy/LD calls people every day on this site: His 2:54 post;

“You libs are j*******” Plus, he is obviously a homophobe, as are most neo-cons (just check his writings today).

RE

In the News

The article expanded with the report the National Training Center sent 1300 troops (instructors) and equipment to the units for two weeks’ training. Doesn’t simulate desert operations with grit, sand, heat, etc. but same tactics are taught.

The article made several references to “final” training. I’d guess many of the soldiers had already rotated through the center (units used to be on a schedule “these weeks in this year”) and were likely scheduled for refresher before deployments.

BTW - that used to be an “all armor” course - tanks and such racing about with infantry support. They’ve since constructed villages, etc mirroring where we fight. That was a good, fast change.

From the unofficial Imus blog: Author: Big Roy

During the past week I’ve gotten several links from some of the biggest liberal blogs/websites on the internet, Crooks & Liars, Think Progress, and Daily Kos. These are not sites that would normally link to this blog. As anyone who reads my blog knows I routinely slam liberal politicians and media.

But these guys rose above politics to try and bring awareness to the problems at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Some might say they’re doing it as an opportunity to slam the Bush Administration. I don’t think that’s it. I think it’s a genuine concern for active duty soldiers and veterans.

I wondered why I hadn’t received a single link from a conservative blog or website. I thought well they just didn’t like any of my posts. So I went and checked the right wing blogs I normally read when I get time, Redstate, Pajama Media, Hot Air, and Michelle Malkin. Except for Ms. Malkin, not one of these sites even mentioned the Washington Post Story or anything about Walter Reed that I could find. When Malkin talks about it. She was not able to rise above politics and used it as an opportunity to slam the liberal media and democrats.

If that is your interpretation then I would say that YOU are offering no support. My son has trained in the fields of Ft.Irwin and it was hot and sandy. Believe me, the fields of Ft. Stewart are also hot and sandy. But you WANT to doubt the military.

There was an article in Newsweek before the Cold War ended - war games in Europe - military conducted, had civilians from gov’t, industry, universities, think tanks, etc taking part. Typical scenario, Warsaw Pact blows through, NATO in retreat - in every case where nukes were advocated it was by civilians - with the military saying “Noooo.” Teams were stacked with civilians, nukes were launched (tactical)- escalation took place - ended with the civilians bewildered, shocked, and regretful.

I don’t personally care how much energy Gore uses, if not for the fact that he scolds others who don’t hold a candle watt to him.

Goldie,

Please advise where I said it was a news story. If you want to shoot the messenger, fine, but if don’t want to look like a damned fool yet one more time, it would behoove you to show facts that dispute the information that was laid out in the USA Today piece.

This has got to be one of the best:

Liberals haven’t the foggiest idea how the industrial world works. They act as if America could reduce its vast energy consumption by using fluorescent bulbs and driving hybrid cars rather than SUVs. They have no idea how light miraculously appears when they flick a switch or what allows them to go to the bathroom indoors in winter — luxuries Americans are not likely to abandon because Leo DiCaprio had solar panels trucked into his Malibu estate.

Because of the industrialization of agriculture — using massive amounts of fossil fuel — only 2 percent of Americans work in farming. And yet they produce enough food to feed all 300 million Americans, with plenty left over for export. When are liberals going to break the news to their friends in Darfur that they all have to starve to death to save the planet?

“Global warming” is the left’s pagan rage against mankind. If we can’t produce industrial waste, then we can’t produce. Some of us — not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess — are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.

Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans {introduction to her book “Silent Spring” written by … Al Gore!}, and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.

“Global warming” is the liberal’s stalking horse for their ultimate fantasy: The whole U.S. will look like Amagansett, with no one living in it except their even-tempered maids (for “diversity”), themselves and their coterie (all, presumably, living in solar-heated mansions, except the maids who will do without electricity altogether).

If it’s what you’ve become accustomed to, you try to impose it on others bringing them on an equal level with their own childish behavior. All things then become “equal”.

It’s the vicious cycle of a victim mentality.

An adult would try to encourage, not dictate the behavior. We’ve already been children, and we know from experience how best to teach. But only if we’ve freed ourselves of childish ways.

Are you sure you want to continue?

Nevermind, you’re still behaving like a child so you need words of encouragement.

Grow up and then we’ll see if your contributions here are worthy of adult response.

If you want to remain a child. I’ll jump on the see-saw with you and we’ll work together on your problems.

Does any (sane) person see the irony in rushncap calling Andy “demented”?

I do!

LD,

I don’t even have to click on that link to know that it’s Ann.

I just heard a good term for the Gorebots from Hannity - “Gulf Stream Liberals”. Private jets for me but not for thee.

It’s true - liberals hate humans. I think it all began with the movie “Bambi” when we were taught that it was MAN’s fault that Bambi’s mother died.

Kerist rushncap, do you EVER stop babbling about your “mental” sex life? I would encourage you to develop that since then you can take “productivity breaks” in private instead of wanking all over your computer screen, but must you keep telling us about it?

By the way, @@ is one of the least mean spirited people I’ve ever encountered. You ought to google the name “rushncap” and read a few blogs. Then you’ll really see a mean spirited little fellow trying to be a man.

So, Donut and Andy-dull— how many hearts and minds did you win over today? Doesn’t it go against your purpose in posting here, that you continually spew such hatred against about 70% of your fellow Americans? All because we don’t agree with your daily war-mongering and Bush-kissing…

Alright, rushncrap diagnosed me, so it’s only fair that I get to see if I can name his psychosis (s.)

Dimitry pulls his pud because:

1) His campus/ world is full of jack boot feminist nazi chicks that frighten little rushncrap.

2) rushncrap tried his best Clinton imitation on a seemingly harmless young lass, who quite unexpectedly twisted his nuts off right after he groped her.

3) Women don’t like to hear him whine like a woman.

4) He tried the metrosexual look for one weekend, the people on campus/ his world will not let him forget what a damn fool he made of hisself.

5) He hasn’t learned “how to” with a girl yet.

6) Paper women aren’t smarter than he is.

7) It’s damn near a sure thing.

8) All of the above!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

@@ makes a good point about rushncap liberals. Just check out these stories right now on Drudge:

A Seattle school wants to ban Legos because they represent private ownership, which is not socially just.

Proposed FL State law would ban the word illegal “alien” because it’s “offensive”.

UN recommends global temperature ceiling. (I guess they did’nt learn the lesson that “you can’t control Mother Nature”).

If I had the time, I’m sure I could find countless other examples elsewhere.

General officers keep the title into retirement. There are a few restrictions on when they can use it, but not much.

General Garner retired in 1997 - then went on to positions in the defense industry (there’s that revolving door again) before he came back into government service as the occupation administrator before Bremer (we now know we would’ve been better off if Bremer had come in for a short stint and been fired, then Garner had come in).

So while Garner was a general who was dismissed from an administrative position, he wasn’t a serving general who was fired by Bush (or Rumsfeld, or the service Chief of Staff, etc.) for disagreeing with the conduct of the Iraq war. I honestly don’t think there have been any.

No bad taste at all. If that’s the best you can do in one-upmanship department then you are a complete failure. I honestly have no shame at all that I did not know that the term “mental BJ” existed. BFD.

Some of you need to pay Luckovich. Without this blog you’d be in therapy. By the way, it’s over. You “swift boaters” are being “swift-boated” by Bush. America is on to you. You are through. You right-wing knuckleheads have had your run. The “Dixie Chicks” were right. I like them so much I bought their award winning album, twice! A grateful nation sends their heartfelt thanks to heroic american women. 22 republican senators are up for re-election next go-round. We’ll see how many embrace the right-wing hate machine. Let’s see the Bush model: “Lie, Fear Monger, Lie again, Deceit, A little more Fear, One more Lie, then cap it all off with a stroll around a Carrier in a uniform he never wore”. No wonder his father bawled on TV.

You know I saw the tried and true attempt of ml to perpetuate the… wait for it… fear mongering. Just like we conservatives and “national defense” there are liberals with their “man is warming the planet” we need to reign in the capitalism.

Seeing ml’s attempt, I posted some reasonable questions. I thought I could check back in around closing time and read some independent thoughts from the more intelligent among us. You know, maybe one would offer their nuggets of knowledge. I did not see anything more than personal attacks on me. Were my questions so “idiotic” to the independent thinking “man made” global warming proponents that they wouldn’t communicate with me? I thought for sure Goldie or Midori would share their thoughts, just dam.

Hey, have the democrats figured out a way to give terrorists the first building block for their caliphate? Lord knows the UN will drag this Iran thing out and the libs will blame it all on Bush.

This is dedicated to Goldilocks!:

“Global warming” is the left’s pagan rage against mankind. If we can’t produce industrial waste, then we can’t produce. Some of us — not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess — are going to have to die.

…Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans (introduction to her book “Silent Spring” written by … Al Gore!), and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.

But global warming is the most insane, psychotic idea liberals have ever concocted to kill off “useless eaters.” If we have to live in a pure “natural” environment like the Indians, then our entire transcontinental nation can only support about 1 million human beings. Sorry, fellas — 299 million of you are going to have to go.

Warning! Hate speech immediately follows:

I hate, hate, hate to say this, but (IMHO) hating humanity is more “hateful” than making fools out of silly moonbat liberals and their silly moonbat ideas (not to mention how valiant we are to assume the task of putting up with their nasty, surly, and infinitely miserable dispositions).
