In a long, and interesting speech, [former President Bill Clinton] characterized what the U.S. and other industrialized nations need to do to combat global warming this way: “We just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions ’cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren.”

Right now, on the teetering edge of a recession, with the housing bubble bursting, with the U.S. government and our private-sector financial institutions like Citigroup indebted to other nations to the tune of trillions of dollars, Bill Clinton thinks it’s a good idea to slow down our economy? Nothing like speeding up our slide toward socialism and one-world-government.

Thanks, but no thanks, Bill.

Even the Canadians get it:

An obvious choice can be unnerving. When the apparent perfection of one option or the unspeakable awfulness of another makes a decision seem too easy, it is human nature to become suspicious.

This instinct intensifies as the stakes of the given choice are raised. American voters know no greater responsibility to their country and to the world than to select their president wisely. While we do not yet know who the Democrat and Republican nominees will be, any combination of the leading candidates from either party will make for the most obvious choice put to American voters in a generation. To wit, none of the Democrats has any business being president.

The problem is, however, that the Republicans now have a front-runner in John McCain that is more like a Democrat than a Republican. His stances on issues such as the 1st Amendment (McCain-Feingold), 2nd Amendment (various anti-gun votes), illegal immigration (to include amnesty and Social Security benefits for illegals), and a pattern of raising taxes or voting against tax cuts (ref: Americans for Tax Reform) are counter to the preservation of liberty, which is what this website is all about.

Therefore, with the withdrawl of Fred Thompson from the race, to preserve our liberties we must encourage primary voters to vote for Mitt Romney. If Mitt does not win the Republican nomination, we all stand to suffer a loss of liberty, regardless if it’s an (R) or a (D) that get’s elected.

Is President Bush trying to improve his approval rating before he leaves office?

The United States will commit $2 billion over the next three years to a new international fund to promote clean energy technologies and fight climate change, President George W. Bush told Congress on Monday in his annual State of the Union speech.

“Let us create a new international clean technology fund, which will help developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy sources,” Bush said.

He said the United States is committed to working with major economies and the United Nations to complete an international agreement that “has the potential to slow, stop and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse gases.”

Say it with me, Mr. President: “Man has no control over the earth’s climate.” Now stop wasting taxpayer dollars on this farce, and give me back my incandescent light bulbs.

The fortunate thing is that while Bush pushed for this in his State of the Union speech, Congress controls the purse strings. So use The Mailbox to write your representatives. Tell them to vote against any such bill that comes to a floor vote.
