Liberals and the destruction of America

In response to the latest misguided propaganda from the illustrious Dr., I would like to point out that all the politically driven science in the world will never make our earth warmer.  Trying to attach man's actions to some change in the climate is dangerously presumptuous.  Could facts possibly get in the way of this latest boondoggle of our politically correct society?
How about the fact that the earth stopped warming 15 years ago and hasn't warmed since. How about the fact that back when people started noticing the warm climate, the ice on Mars was also melting. Could the fact that the earth has warmed many times over the millennia without man's help. I am afraid the real driving force behind this liberal agenda item is their desire to control our lives.  The United States has in the last several years destroyed industries, raised the cost of living and pushed millions into poverty by forcing fake science on all of us.  The most recent example is the light bulb. A wonderful invention that has saved countless lives and brightened the world.  Our environmental friends claim this device burns too much electricity and increases green house gases so the inefficient device must be banned.  The replacement device is sold as longer lasting and consumes less energy, but what is the real cost? First, they are expensive and most importantly they are toxic (break a bulb and you need a mask and gloves to clean up the mercury spill).  Another banned substance is freon. We outright banned that amazing gas used for decades to cool our homes. According to the environmentalists, the innocuous gas was supposed to be tearing a hole in the ozone layer. Sounds bad, but we are the only country in the world stupid enough to believe them. So now we have to pay for a more expensive substance that tears up our air conditioners causing more maintenance and replacement. The most frustrating part of all of this environmental insanity, is the real cost that is being born by all of us. We pay more for electricity, gas and life due to all of the meddling caused by the government believing the fake science spouted by liberal environmental groups. Our country has the technology and ability to reduce our cost of living substantially, increase our employment and expand our economy if the government and environmentalists would just get out of our way. From pipelines to power plants to dams to refineries we know how to build, create and distribute the key elements that could sustain us, but at every corner we are limiting ourselves and putting our freedoms and liberty at risk as we let our government destroy opportunity, leaving us out in the cold fighting over the crumbs they let slip from their table.  |We need to change course, go back to reality and bring our country back to its founding principles: freedom, liberty, self sufficiency, equality and hard work. These principles seem to be lost in today's society.
