Thank you. It's about time somebody said it.

As you said, finally, someone tells it like it is.

I wish more people would do so.

Cut off all fossil fuel from the militant greenies, including Al Gore. Make them live what they preach. Let’s see how long it takes them to capitulate to reality.

This guy is good. I am so damn sick of the green-anarchists. Here I am planting fruit trees and growing organic vegetables. I like nature and the great outdoors. But I know what keeps America strong and isn’t carbon caps on coal fired plants

Here’s an excellent article about scientific proof that the weather changes are caused by sun spots. This article should be spread around as much as possible.

"...the political elite are so comfortable that they think their mission in life now is to save the world.”

For my money, this is the quote that nails it.

He said he felt simple terms were the only ones the country could understand, that more sophisticated language was over the head of the general public.

If he hadn't included atheists, I would have guessed he was amiable to Ayn Rand / Objectivism.

Proof: Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Capitalism Without Guilt: The Moral Case for Freedom, The Capitalist Manifesto, and Atlas Shrugged.

"Atheist" isn't a synonym for "communist". Sigh.

Expect Mr. Blankenship’s “apology” any day now. We can hear how he “misspoke” and now “regrets” his remarks.

That is absolutely brilliant and concise! That Gore/Pelosi/Ried and the envirowackos are crazy goes without saying.

This coalman is beyond correct!

It was the abysmal Carter White House which started this sneaky creeping socialism which leads to communism.

The same type of elitist leftist totalitarianism shall continue under the Carter/Clinton top heavy Obama administration.

Slow motion economics

Get ready for phase two!

“Would we be upset if Osama Bin Laden was critical of us?”

Actually, many quislings in this country voted for Obama for just that reason. To make the world like us again.
