Open Government - Iain Murray - The Corner on National Review Online

The stink surrounding the Pelosi-Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill has become vomit-inducing overnight. Representative Waxman has decided to replace the 1091-page bill with a 300-page bill that will be debated for no longer than three hours today. So your elected representatives will have virtually no time to debate the merits of an economy-spanning bill they will not have had time to read. Speaker Pelosi and her sidekick Waxman are displaying nothing more than complete contempt for the democratic process.

Global Warming and The Downing Street Memo « Tattered Bits of Brain

How many millions and billions will we spend ”fighting an unjust war” against global warming? Is Barack Obama lying is into this war? Is there only one right answer in the Obama administration with respect to global warming?

The screaming Progs have long lamented the “irresponsible deficit” inflicted on the American people by Bush’s war for oil.

Yet, how many trillions of dollars are we being forced to swallow in Obama’s war AGAINST oil?

How many people will die of starvation because we are using 1/3 of our corn crop to produce ethanol rather than export as food for hungry nations? What will happen to our economy when the cost of houses doubles as they must be built to new, and very expensive…”green” standards? When our electricy costs triple because we have outlawed efficient coal-fired energy plants and refuse to embrace nuclear energy? All in the name of “complying” with an ill-considered and unsupportable global warming policy?

Many would suggest that Iraq didn’t pose a threat to the US, and so our war was illegal and immoral. I’d like to suggest that the “war on global warming” is even more unjustified, illegal, and immoral, and poses a great threat to our country than Iraq ever did, or that global warming itself ever will.
