“Ok, so Nimblefoot just half-jokingly said that I keep my ears closed to good points that the left makes, and I thought I'd surprise him and prove that to be false. First off, let's remind the folks at home that I used to be a looney leftie, but switched teams. Also, I believe that man-made global warming is a bunch of hooey. That does not mean that I'm not an environmentalist. It just means the global warming is poppy-cock. So, in what way is mean-ole Sarge a compassionate loonie leftie? It is my opinion that a REAL danger that the world faces is the disappearance of the ocean's sea-life. In fact, I'd classify it as the most imminent, dangerous situation of the history of the planet. We (humans) are destroying the ecosystem of the ocean and we have to put an immediate stop to it VERY VERY soon or it will destroy not only ocean life, but possibly a vast majority of land-based life. We need to focus on improved technologies for fish and plant farming to save the life on this planet ... and this is no joke. PS - the man-made global warming threat is imaginary. Move on to something worthwhile with your wanna-be 60s protesting.” 12:23:30 PM 8/22/07 “New born Neo-con , Ah? The ocean problem is as GW, not a man caused issue?” 12:56:29 PM 8/22/07 “yeah yeah....but Un its only the SUCCESSFUL FIRST WORLD Democracies that destroy the enviornment...thirdworld rat holes like India and China are not a danger.....(ANOTHER little Hypocrisy of the Left)” 12:58:19 PM 8/22/07 “It was all joking and in context with your earlier post. I have no idea whether you are open to new ideas or not, though it seems you are more than some. We don't seem to have any animosity toward each other, so it's fun to give you an occasional shot. \ Hope you can read this with your eyes closed:)” 1:56:21 PM 8/22/07 “Their great-grandkids are going to fry. They Just Need To Be Sure to print out everything they've said here about Global Warming so their progeny can read it... then go crap on their graves in 50 years, (LOL)” 2:03:25 PM 8/22/07 “tiltypoo is such a kind, sweet, opened minded libbie. (LOL)” 3:33:13 PM 8/22/07 “..and probably right too.” 4:13:42 PM 8/22/07 “Human overpopulation is real. It is resulting in: 1- biodiversity decrease (including ocean-life), the projected 9 billion humans in 2050 will live in a lonely world devoid of more than a mere few relic specimens of many of our icons of other life 2- the immminent arrival of peak oil/soil/water/phosphorous and therefore peak technology/civilization(peak phosphorous is the biggest problem of all, believe it or not), these peaks will greatly affect the world's ability to grow food 3- another far down the list in importance is human caused climate change, but it is happening and would get very bad except all these other conditions will necessitate a severe reduction in human numbers (not by choice) and consumption which is the only secular hope for the world. You deniers act like if you can just sqelch the issue of climate change then the other bigger problems will just go away. last edited: 8/22/07 6:53:46 PM” 6:46:20 PM 8/22/07 “"In the year 2525 If man is still alive..." I imagine the world will contain no more people than there are in America in 2007 (which still is likely a greater total number and density for a large omnivore than the world has ever known other than of humans these last 500 years). Sorry to anyone who got that stupid song (The Year 2525) out of there head several years ago and haven't thought of it since. last edited: 8/22/07 7:07:55 PM” 7:02:35 PM 8/22/07 “You deniers act like if you can just sqelch the issue of climate change then the other bigger problems will just go away. I'm a denier, and can't relate 1 iota to this. hillside, you should tone down the overgeneralizations. I don't know what you're talking about.” 7:05:26 PM 8/22/07 “Sarge, You and Xl continually mouth the 'party-line'. The agenda of that 'party' can be found at such sites as Heartland, Eco-logic and Freedom21. I imagine the 2 of you regularly read some much more prominent sources of the 'party-line' which I just haven't found. Those internet sites routinely downplay and ridicule any concerns about human's affects on this world. Population, no big deal, we top out in 2050 at 9 billion, all is well. Climate change, a joke. Endangered species, we don't need thm anyhow. Etc. Let's just keep doing what we've been doing and the few will rise to the top of the heap and be successful and their success (or something else) will trickle down upon the rest of the world. There's big money to be made in completing the destruction of the world and the 'party-line' intends (makes a living off their 'yellow' web-journalism) to see that that money is made by those that pay them to squirt such dis-information and blatant lies. last edited: 8/22/07 7:40:37 PM” 7:33:58 PM 8/22/07 “Which 'party' is that? I've never even heard of those sites, I think for myself. Does 'the (mystery) party' say what I've said here today? You are the one who seems to be more into the 'party' websites since you know so much about them.” 7:49:35 PM 8/22/07 “Anyways, if you read what I wrote in the first post, you'll note that you've already lost the logic war, since you're saying I side with people who want to hide the earth's destruction. Take your brain out and polish it off, then re-read my first post, take a break, then try to come up with another overgeneralization about me. Perhaps you can top yourself a 2nd time.” 7:54:47 PM 8/22/07 “The party I was referring to is the pro-big business lobby, pretty much supported by both Democrats and Republicans.” 4:39:48 AM 8/23/07 “Hillside LOL...you are starting to sound the the Opening Scene in Monty Python and The Holy Grail (LOL)..... Yadda yadda Yadda...you know I have heard that same crap for the last 40 years (and from what I have read the "oppressed" (read the LOSERS IN LIFE) have always sought victimhood in the fantasy that the "EVIL RICH MAN" was stealing their money. I think Paul Ehrlich made a bet with someone in the 1960's about the value of certain "commodities" and the fact that the price would shoot up in the next 20 or so years.....Yeah um he lost and never paid. Nah, I hear it everyday in my line of work. The people who have been oppressed and are poor due to the EEEVIL RICH. Yeah these are the people who are dumping limited resources into such solid investments as Lottery Tickets, Cold Beer and Smokes. Most see the hard work (smart hard work by the way) necessary to move ahead but it seems easier to wait for the FREE MONEY TRAIN. Enviornmentalisim is the new wing of the Socialist Party, look at their tenents...the only people truly effected by their Kyoto Accords (Which even your hero Slick Willie opposed) were First World Nations....nah until you can show me where EVERYONE is treated equally and everyone has the same responsibility you will never convince me it is anything other than Socialisim with a new hipper beat. Your nifty collegesque attack on EEEVIL big business is so anachronisitic (seeing as how Small Business does about 70% of the employment today) it reeks of the crap we saw in Pravda in the 1960's. Get a new line for being a victim, this one is run to ground.” 4:53:06 AM 8/23/07 “hillside - If you don't recognize the global warming alarmism as a boom to business opportunity, you're not paying attention.” 4:57:38 AM 8/23/07 “XL, I do not know what you are talking about. I do not consider myself a victim and I am relatively prosperous from pretty much my own efforts being self-employed so not needing to draw or rely upon a monthly government payroll check. Believe it or not, I voted for Bush instead of Gore in 2000. last edited: 8/23/07 5:04:31 AM” 4:58:10 AM 8/23/07 “OHHH I could have predicted that Government Payroll Check comeback....(LOL) Good try. Hillside, Since it is obvious you buy into the "religion" please tell me where these people have predicted ANYTHING that is testable? They are making OBSERVATIONS, drawing Hypothesis and then when they test them ...OOOPS we find they have CHANGED the Hypotehsis to fit the results or have altered the information (NASA REPORT) sorry their models are not reverse testable (i.e. you cannot take the model run it out 50 years and turn around and run it back 80 years and get accurate information) Their solutions range from "ITS TOO LATE...BUT" to "only THIS CAN SAVE US'...to the leadership not exactly sounding like they believe the crap they are spreading. Its kinda like the captain of the ship coming up and saying "we are sinking" all the rich people have to throw their stuff overboard.....oh yeah and if anyone can help me I will be cleaning my new LARGE SCREEN TV and MOVING in some new GOLD BARS.” 5:11:48 AM 8/23/07 “I heard about that NASA mistake XL. Now all of a sudden 1934 was the hottest year on record, not 1998. Hilside, if you are against big business why do fall right in to the trap of global warming? Don't you see that it isn't about saving the planet? It's about money and power. Take, for example the UN's big study and report. Why were there so many opposing views that never got consideration in the report? Why were there so many who requested their names be removed from the report?” 5:24:08 AM 8/23/07 “Since it is obvious you buy into the "religion" ... Your judgemental with little evidence accusations are very revealling of your character.” 5:27:47 AM 8/23/07 “Your judgemental with little evidence accusations are very revealling of your character. OH MY GOSH THAT'S RICH COMING FROM YOU!! LOL! Just a few posts after my commenting that you're overgeneralizing about people on here. Can we feed you any more accusations? hillside, why don't you drop the personal attacks and start focusing on the discussion. You're becoming quite the troll. On a thread where I very much take a hard line liberal eco-environmental-conservativism stance on something, you completely IGNORE that and accuse me and others of walking the "party" line! You're making yourself look foolish.” 5:32:44 AM 8/23/07 “Great so simply because I don't buy it I have no character. Great come back.” 5:34:43 AM 8/23/07 “Hillside...I understand your dilemma. YOu want to be "liked" you don't want to be thought of as "mean". So you find it much easier to toe the group think line. IT is often much easier to "MOO" respectfully and march along than stand there alone and say, "NO" You know Hillside there was a time when virgins were sacrificed to make the harvest good. Or The SCIENCE of the time demanded HUMAN sacrifice to prevent some global disaster....today we look at that in the overall study of history and say..."WOW what idiots." But that WAS the height of "science". He!! in Africa there are AIDS sufferes who believe that RAPING a virgin will cure them....hence the AIDS rate is skyrocketing as young girls are assaulted in some fake attempt to seek a cure.....and that is the HEIGHT of SCIENCE to them. Sorry but I look at history and I see for repetitions of history before I go nuts with Hysteria. Not to long ago these same things were blamed on WITCHES or some other supernatural thing. And certain people used the ideas to profit...Right now I see the leaders (ALGORE for example) have found this as a shtick to do exactly that.” 5:34:52 AM 8/23/07 “XL, I don't see my opinions based on the need to be liked anymore (or less) than I see yours as sucking up to power.” 5:59:58 AM 8/23/07 “"We need to focus on improved technologies for fish and plant farming to save the life on this planet" Oh, you think people can out-engineer and improve upon the the 'natural created world' we inherited. There is no sustainable free-ride beyond the limits of the 'natural gain'. A finite renewable-sustainable harvest of the bounty of healthy waters can be harvested by people, but there's not a way to exceed that limit without degrading the resource. We are back to the issue of number of people in the world. The 'natural gain' achieved thru benign ocean harvesting, thru the natural gain from organic farming technigues using heirloom seed, thru the 'natural gain' from grazing a limited number of domestic livestock on the forage of the world and harvesting a limited number of the world's wildlife for meat was proven in antiquity to be an amount sufficient to feed only 1/10th. to 1/20th. the number of humans that are in the world now. The temporary injection of fossil fuels, fossil water, synthetic fertilizers and pesticides resulting in the ongoing destruction of the world's croplands, pasture and forests is the only reason human numbers have managed to achieve the current, ephemeral (lasting a short season) number. last edited: 8/23/07 6:13:27 AM” 6:09:58 AM 8/23/07 “WOW.....You know it is really true.... NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT...ITS STILL BALONEY.” 6:14:37 AM 8/23/07 “We need to focus on improved technologies for fish and plant farming to save the life on this planet" Oh, you think people can out-engineer and improve upon the the 'natural created world' we inherited. uh, that's what "farming" is. I'm done with this troll.” 6:19:39 AM 8/23/07 “I am guessing his profession is making wheels for miscarraiges. Hillside don't get me wrong, I "support" what you envirowackos are doing...yeah I support you but I oppose the global warming hysteria movement......(LOL) last edited: 8/23/07 6:38:37 AM” 6:30:09 AM 8/23/07 “Yes, its just farming. Most in the 3rd. world still know how it's done. Millions in the developed world need to rediscover how it's done.” 6:43:20 AM 8/23/07 “Once again --- we now know where that crap came from and how much industry paid for it: "Groups that opposed greenhouse curbs ramped up. They "settled on the 'science isn't there' argument because they didn't believe they'd be able to convince the public to do nothing if climate change were real," says David Goldston, who served as Republican chief of staff for the House of Representatives science committee until 2006. Industry found a friend in Patrick Michaels, a climatologist at the University of Virginia who keeps a small farm where he raises prize-winning pumpkins and whose favorite weather, he once told a reporter, is "anything severe." Michaels had written several popular articles on climate change, including an op-ed in The Washington Post in 1989 warning of "apocalyptic environmentalism," which he called "the most popular new religion to come along since Marxism." The coal industry's Western Fuels Association paid Michaels to produce a newsletter called World Climate Report, which has regularly trashed mainstream climate science. (At a 1995 hearing in Minnesota on coal-fired power plants, Michaels admitted that he received more than $165,000 from industry; he now declines to comment on his industry funding, asking, "What is this, a hatchet job?")"

One thing I have learned is living in fear is no way to go through life.” 7:25:20 AM 8/23/07 “LOL but that is the ONLY way libbies go through life. WOW you know the PREDICTIONS about AIDS (kinda like other great LIBERAL PREDICTIONS) were that if we did not dump the national budget the Heterosexuals would be overrun by the 1990;s...wrong again. Tilty..what was it you do? (LOL) John Orr never filed an application...he jsut did it..but much like you he thinks he is doing nothing wrong (LOL)./” 7:34:56 AM 8/23/07 “It seems to be a big thing people of all walks of life.

I am sorry but who exactly are you talking about? I don't place my FAITH in any human (they will too easily let you down). Rather I place my faith in something that has NEVER LET me down. AS for yours being reality based...why then do you dis the overwhelming evidence of the inaccuracy of the left? I mean you can show me NO leftist Or Government idea or plan that has EVER been successful in improving (really improving) people's lives.” 7:52:26 AM 8/23/07 “The Voting Rights Act. Next ---” 8:05:44 AM 8/23/07 “So XL, by saying "NO leftist Or Government idea or plan that has EVER been successful in improving (really improving) people's lives” I take it you are ADMITTING that Iraq was/is a colossal mistake?

Hammer time.” 9:51:14 AM 8/23/07 “UM Rosey I think the Iraq war has (as the libbie press and libbie leaders are now beginning to begrudgingly admit) been incredibly successful. Rather than sit here waiting for them to attack us on our home soil (which happened in 93 and in 2001. We took the war to their land. Oh yeah and you do know that Military action is not a "program" it is a proper Constitutional Function of the Government...unlike most of the Free Money programs. I am pretty dang certain if it had been a libbie who had done it you would be crowing like the dickens. But since it was this President you have allowed your total hatered of him to color your entire treatment of the war. And Tilt the Voters Rights Act isn't working why you libbies told us people were restricted from voting the last couple of elections (LOL)...heck the military had their votes banned by Gore in Florida. last edited: 8/23/07 9:56:12 AM” 9:52:52 AM 8/23/07 “But the question must be asked, and honestly answered; was it worth it? Answer: phuck no.” 9:56:42 AM 8/23/07 “Dan doesn't support minority voting rights. What a surprise. What's the basis for your argument there? STATES' RIGHTS? LMAO You "replied" to the following when it was first posted, tho' No Actual Reference was made to any points contained therein. It's like you were scared to actually read it. US Attorney Resigns Following Conyers’ Request for BBC Documents by Greg Palast June 1, 2007 Tim Griffin, formerly right hand man to Karl Rove, resigned Thursday as US Attorney for Arkansas hours after BBC Television ‘Newsnight’ reported that Congressman John Conyers requested the network’s evidence on Griffin’s involvement in ‘caging voters.’ Greg Palast, reporting for BBC Newsnight, obtained a series of confidential emails from the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. In these emails, Griffin, then the GOP Deputy Communications Director, transmitted so-called ‘caging lists’ of voters to state party leaders. Experts have concluded the caging lists were designed for a mass challenge of voters’ right to cast ballots. The caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters including homeless individuals, students and soldiers sent overseas. Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the firing of US Attorneys, met Thursday evening in New York with Palast. After reviewing key documents, Conyers stated that, despite Griffin’s resignation, “We’re not through with him by any means.” Conyers indicated to the BBC that he thought it unlikely that Griffin could carry out this massive ‘caging’ operation without the knowledge of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Rove. Griffin has not responded to requests by BBC to explain this 'caging' operation. However, in emails subpoenaed by Conyers' committee, Griffin complains to Monica Goodling, an assistant to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, about the BBC reporter's reproduction of caging lists in Palast's book, "Armed Madhouse." In the email dated February 5 of this year, Griffin stated that the purpose of 'caging' was to identify "fraudulent" voters. This contradicts one explanation of the Bush campaign to BBC that the lists were of potential donors and not in any way created to challenge voters. Griffin confidentially wrote: "The real story is this: There were thousands of reported illegal/fake voter registrations around the country, so some of the Republican State Parties mailed letters welcoming new voters to the newly registered voters. … The Republican State Parties ultimately wanted to show that thousands of fraudulent registrations had been completed." Last Wednesday, Goodling testified under a grant of immunity before the House Judiciary Committee that Gonzales' Deputy Paul McNulty, "failed to disclose that he had some knowledge of allegations that Tim Griffin had been involved in vote 'caging' during his work on the President's 2004 campaign." Goodling's testimony prompted Conyers' request to the BBC for the Griffin emails. Last night Palast showed Conyers a Griffin email from August 2004 indicating that Griffin not only knew of 'caging,' but directed the operation. And check out this story from Slate: Raging Caging - What the heck is vote caging, and why should we care? Here: http://www.slate.com/id/2167284/pagenum/all/#page_start Is Fred Thompson still thinking about hiring Griffin? I forwarded some of this to his campaign and haven't heard a single thing about him since, (LOL).” 3:46:25 PM 8/23/07 “Really?” 3:54:52 PM 8/23/07 “Man! Nearly all the leftie loons posted to this thread. (LOL)” 4:13:47 PM 8/23/07
