DUMocRATS just don't get it.
“retired high-ranking military officers who recommend taking global warning into account in national-security strategy.”
Guess we can assume these are not part of the “greatest generation.”
The DIMocrats WERE in charge of the Intelligence Oversight Committee BEFORE 911
GW PING!!!
The liberals are useless. And the RINOs are in the same boat. Washington, in general, has forgotten what its job is...why the voters sent them there, and who they are accountable to.
They have forgotten all of it.
Why am I not surprised?
This suggests a massive misunderstanding of both the proper role of government and the proper role of a government's "intelligence."
What is the carbon footprint of a nuclear weapon detonated in an American city?
Come people.....there’s money in Global Warming. That’s what it’s all about. Gore made something like $40 million on his movie. Do we really think that others aren’t looking at this and they will take advantage of the people that fall for this stuff.
“Democrats assess the threats to U.S. national security.”
The first thing they should look at is themselves.
DEMOCRATS ARE A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY!!!

Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own “Inconvenient Truth”
Gore’s home uses more than 20 times the national average
Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.
Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

I thought the headline read “Democratic asses ...”
So...was Byron York one of those conservative columnists who, before the 2006 elections, urged Republican voters to stay home? Amazing how many people here in FReeperland bought into their line of thinking. Always such fun to sit on one's haunches like Nero while Rome burns.
Yes, it really is remarkable what difference an election makes. Although there are exceptions, usually the worst Republican is stil better than the best Democrat.
Let’s see....Terrorism or Global Warming?, A real tough one for Democraps.
