There's a bill being debated in the Senate, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security bill. It's purported goal is to reduce the impact on the environment from the US through a cap and trade scheme. It's a complicated fool's game that will ruin the US economy. It's estimated by some to be the greatest tax on the US economy in the history of the country. Something we cannot afford, especially now.

But it's more than just that, this whole Global Warming bit is really an attack on the free enterprise capitalistic society by the lefty loonies. Here's an excerpt from a great column by Charles Krauthammer - "Two decades ago, however, socialism and communism died rudely, they were buried forever by the empirical demonstration of the superiority of market capitalism everywhere from Thatcher's England to Deng's China, where just the partial abolition of socialism lifted more people out of poverty more rapidly than ever in human history."

"Just as the ash heap of history beckoned, the intellectual left was handed the ultimate salvation: environmentalism. Now the experts will regulate your life not in the name of the proletariat or Fabian socialism but -- even better -- in the name of Earth itself."

Here's how the bill will give the Left the ability and power to control us -
"And having proclaimed the ultimate commandment -- carbon chastity -- they are preparing the supporting canonical legislation that will tell you how much you can travel, what kind of light you will read by, and at what temperature you may set your bedroom thermostat.

Only Monday, a British parliamentary committee proposed that every citizen be required to carry a carbon card that must be presented, under penalty of law, when buying gasoline, taking an airplane or using electricity. The card contains your yearly carbon ration to be drawn down with every purchase, every trip, every swipe.

There's no greater social power than the power to ration. And, other than rationing food, there is no greater instrument of social control than rationing energy, the currency of just about everything one does and uses in an advanced society. "

Now would be a good time, a very good time to contact your Senators and let them know your thoughts on this bill. Here's a link to find your Senator in case you don't have it.
