I guess watching Huckabee last night debating some Democrat strategist underlings hit that "nerve" that gets me so frustrated with the Republican Party. This woman (who's name escapes me at the moment,but isn't really the point) said that Global Warming/Climate Change is a fact and we are responsible and need to do something about it. As a Minister, how could Huckabee just reduce God's Creation as something so fragile that "we", the "creat 'ed' " could have that much of an impact on His "crea-'tion'"? The controversies of "Climate Change", the new acoustics designed to cover the advocates of man made influence on the earth's condition, have been bantered back and forth for 100 years. Even prior to SUVs and factories and refineries. The earth has "heated" and "cooled" all on its own, for whatever reason. Is it debated; Pro and Con openly? I don't think so. Just recently some scientists in Australia reasoned that man is NOT influencing the change of the world's climate, but it was shoved aside as the Progressives go out of their way to shape the truth to justify their intentions.
This is but one of the areas that are forcing the people to accept impositions without any foundation to the proposition. "Cap and Trade" is justified only if you accept the proposition that the changing of the temperature of the Earth is "Man Made". By accepting the postulate, it justifies the taxing of the use of fossil fuels to the benefit of the few who have the control over the distribution of the carbon offsets. It also benefits those that are invested in alternative energy sources. I'm not opposed to anyone making money, but I do oppose the lie that has to be told and people set in agreement to do so. At the same time, cruising under the radar of President Obama's trip to Africa was the opening of negotiations for oil to be purchased from Ghana.
As the administration has thrown all of these knives in the air with, Health Care, Cap and Trade, taking control of the auto industry, monitoring CEOs and their benefits, the financial climate for lending and so much more, they are appointing Czars, at "our" expense that answer to no one outside of the White House,have gone through no approval process or conformation, yet have authority over the areas they have been "appointed to", have expanded the power of the Executive Branch and compromised of the "Checks and Balances" of our Constitution. Even the compliant Congress,dominated by Democrats are failing to see that "they" have been neutered and will, at some point, be over ruled by these appointed officials. If Republicans think they are in a minority position now, just wait! And sitting back and folding their arms waiting for things to crash and burn aren't going to put them in any better position in 2010, as some think will happen.
I've been questioning whether there are any differences between the two parties. Watching the so called debates between them, I have a growing conviction that there isn't much difference. The constant references to "my colleagues on the other side of the aisle" and the yukking it up during the coarse of these interviews only demonstrates to "me" the gutless and yielding nature of so called leaders who are more about their political cover than they are of some substantive ideology and core beliefs. If they were of any convictions they would have been pounding the table long ago to stop this runaway train of government and executive power grabbing. It's not enough for Republicans to vote "Nay" and parrot the "less government; less taxes" mantra. It's time to not only come up with alternatives, but start pounding the table, collectively, to assert the alternatives and renounce the policies that are been imposed and the false basis and foundations from which they are drawn from and stop the administration and the Progressive agenda through the compliant media of defining and confining objection to obstruction and old ideologies that haven't been successful. It is all yet another lie that they are, through repetition compulsion, enter the ring of truth to.
