Pelosi's Planet
IBD Editorials ^ | July 30, 2008

Posted on 07/30/2008 5:05:45 PM PDT by Kaslin

Politics: "I'm trying to save the planet," declares House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which is a lot for one person. Maybe she should just try to save herself from the embarrassment that comes with spouting such inanities.


When challenged in an interview with Politico.com about her bullheaded refusal to let Republicans submit energy policies for approval, Pelosi resorted to risible hyperbole to justify her iron-fisted rule of the House parliamentary process.

"I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet," she responded. "I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy."

If the San Francisco Democrat's magisterial narcissism isn't off-putting enough, her intent should be. She's saying that her importance to the survival of Earth transcends our system of open government, elections and power-sharing. Because she's trying to save the world, she can't be challenged and dissent will not be tolerated.

Pelosi's arrogation of power is not unlike that of the monarchs of old who claimed a divine right to rule. And, just as queens had kings, the speaker has a male imperial sitting on the adjacent throne: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Obstructionism by Reid, D-Nev., who freely uses the trite phrase "we cannot drill our way out of the problem," is also costing Americans at the pump.

Strangely repulsive, yet I can't look away.

You've got something subliminal in there, don't you - you're hypnotizing me!

At some point, it will tip...and I fear for those lowlife Communist swine who lie, cheat and steal to bring us to a world government...this goes for both right and left.

Nice graphic. Instead of a line with an arrow at the end...could you make it a hockey stick?

We could then have fun with the Gorebots and IPPC using the chart.

Stop trying to rationalize for the GOP. They deserved to lose in 2006 and being in the minority is the best thing that can ever happen to them again.
:::::::
Rationalize? You sure hand out alot of advice. This country would be in a far better position had the GOP held the Congressional majority. This is still a Repub country and if they had turned out, like they should have in 2006 given what was at stake, things would be VERY different.

For example, just do some homework and look at the TAXATION that the Congressional socialists have already put into place VERY QUIETLY of course, with the silent complicity of the filthy media. You seem to have no idea what a combined radical socialist White House and Congress will do to this country -— they will start with a Constitution burning party, followed by a systematic reduction in your rights and liberties, accompanied by a proportional INCREASE in confiscatory taxation.

It has been said that if the socialist libs would burn America to the ground if they could reign over the ashes and bodies -— its all about power my FRiend and nothing else.

Dude, they HAD the majority for 12 years up to 2006. Did they follow through?
