Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
Im not surprised you're confused. Reason being is Bush was and never will be a conservative. The only truly conservative things he did in those 8 years was appoint Allito and Roberts to the bench -- and that was after a lot of arm twisting from his base. And what Gore and his ilk are doing isnt fear mongering?
Colemen's motives are somehow questioned simply because he MIGHT be conservtive yet there is no mention of Gore's leanings or the millions in funding he receives (by the way, Colemen is an admitted liberal and was supporter of Hillary Clinton). If anyone needs to put party allegiance away, it's Mr. Gore (who to this day still refuses to debate ANYONE on his stance). I also doubt that many of those "high school biology teachers" are supportive of Mr. Coleman since most are loyal to the teachers unions who take Mr. Gores claims as gospil.
Someone who is driving an Escalade, overweight and getting 3 MPH ... well, they MUST be conservatives. Again, I thought liberals were broad minded? Ann Coulter proven correct once again. Seriously though, get out of that oil box that has completely brain-washed you. It's your side and their rabid stance against anything oil that's driving up the cost at the pump -- that, and China going through one of the largest industrial periods this world has ever seen.
Take the time to read (and question the motives of) both sides.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
No but it is consistent with those who yell, "Hey cowboys over here, drill into this here place and pull yourself out some more oil....because we can"
what made you think this? Just because most multi-degreed individuals become progressive in their thinking doesn't necesarily lead them to be broad-minded. In fact, education can have the exact opposite effect and I would be more than happy to point you to the individual who wrote their dissertation on just that topic.
sounds like the makings of another original book, "How to tolerate and intolerant Liberal"
With intention and quite well-orchestrated I think. The utilitarian effects will ultimately be a good thing.
Nothing truer than that.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
One caviot ... "Hey cowboys over here, drill into this here place and pull yourself out some more oil....because we NEED IT". Oil aside, last I checked, we use plastics for all kinds of things. I doubt you are typing on a wood computer?
Lemme see if I get this right .... liberals teaching young skulls full of mush to be "pregressive" (see liberal) in their thinking. And that's not brain-washing how? Send all the dissertations you want -- love to read them. But this is a topic near and dear to my heart since I fought (and won) an incident of a professor failing me because I wrote a paper that was pro-Reagan.
Here are a few sites for you ....
http://www.dradams.org/ ... Dr. Adams is a former liberal turned libertarian and writes extensively on the bias in Colleges. His approach of very tounge and cheek, but somethings he exposes are scary.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
Agreed! Liberals go on and on about the gubmint leaving people alone yet it's their tool to bring every man, women and child to their view point. And if they cant get the will of the people, no problem! They will get some liberal judge somewhere to ignore the law and rule in their favor.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
That's right Tex! I mean Houst. Dem dang liberbals always trying to tell me and my boys how to act civilized and what not. Sheeet. If I wants to drive myself a big truck, wear myself a big ol' hat and piss all over the globe than that's my right. Shit this is america boy...thats how we's do it. Fuck all the rest of 'em.
You're right it is none of my business if you choose to carry yourself in that manner in your world. Hopefully you get the chance to travel outside the country once in a while and live outside of your own ethnocentrism...For you might also find that when one argues that it is their right to be wasteful, there are those who find that again, kinda dumb.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
That's funny since I was born and raised in Columbia and lived in Fells Point up until 2005. Ad hominim attacks are the last bastion of the defeated. You talk about traveling and how it will broaden my thinking yet, by that statement-in-a-box about people from Texas you show your ignorance towards people here AND that you've never set foot in the Lone Star State. By far, I have seen more racism and stereotypical thinking in blue states such as California and Maryland then in Texas.
See above. Again, the assumption that conservatives are this least-traveled, uncultured group only shows your bias. And by the way, I've been to 47 of the 50 states and 10 other countries, sampling all kinds of cultures through the course of my career. My passport and military records are a whos who of affluence and 3rd world nightmares. By far, America is a diamond in the rough, hated by those who are simply jealous and admired by people looking for liberty. But why am I telling you this? You're the enlightened liberal who's arrogance towards anything outside your miopic box is telling.

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
Another great book on the myth of man-made global warming and how politicians like Algore are driving up the price of energy with their pseudo-science ....

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
You can find it dumb all you want. And that is your right. It is also your right to go barefoot, just as it is your right to wear a size 14 shoe for a size 10 foot.
Why does it bother you?
Coming from someone who has lived in MD and currently in CA I can attest to that statement.Keeping the purple flowing way out on the West Coast!

Re: Global Warming .... yes? no?
Since I am the only progressive one here, I imagine that comment was directed at me. You're right I would have had a shit in that department store watching you ask for a cuarto de bano for sure. I just spent the last couple weeks in Nicaragua. If you can't manage Europe in the 70's, I promise you would have great difficulties traveling in a developing central american country where they see americans as imperialistic pigs.
I never said a group of people were untraveled. I did say that it is important to travel to undeveloped nations to see how the rest of the world lives. Usually the comments in response to that is about how many states someone has traveled to or been to Europe. That is not what I mean. Go to Andean South America, Central America, the Middle East or Far East. Go to places where the average earned income is $800 a year...where professionals make $2 an hour. Spend time on a farm where there is no electricity or running water...ride on a bus where you travel 100 kilometers in 4 hours because the roads are so shitty. Walk into a center square where painted on the outside of the cathedral walls says "muerte al invasor imperialist" and know that it refers to you...then taste the third world grit in your teeth and the tightness in your intestines because you didn't pay attention for one meal and ate a piece of tomato.
Look at the campesino on the corner who didn't understand that maybe he had a right to own the land he farmed until the likes of an Omar Cabeza explained basic human rights to him only to have those dreams shattered because your almighty Ron Reagan supported south american drug cartels (which now infest our country with their cocaine and heroin) to aid the distribution of arms to Iran to support Contra Rebels (you call them "freedom Fighters") to try to prevent that campesino from owning land. Travel and learn the stories maybe you would be less inclined to roll your eyes.
