Why You Should Never Argue With a Ditto Head

Like the idols they worship, Ditto Heads are adept at avoiding one thing in their posts and ramblings. Somehow they never worry about facts getting in the way. The mere fact that someone with limited intelligence and documentable paranoia has made a ridiculous pronouncement seems like rock solid proof to these folks. If Rush said the world's oceans were about to part, half a million dolts would be lined up in New Jersey with their luggage ready to walk to Ireland.

Environmentalists just go too far

It truly amazes me how a small, very vocal and very well-financed group of people can "rule" many policies and now laws that affect all the people of the United States. This group of people under several names considers itself the savior of everything that strikes its fancy.

These people call themselves environmentalists and have assumed the right to meddle in everyone's business whether they have the right to do so or not. They have taken rumors and incomplete scientific studies and promoted them as fact. These saviors comprise only 1 percent or 2 percent of our population, yet they rule the other 98 percent of us, and no one dares complain.

One of the worst offenders is former Vice President Al Gore and his story of global warming. More and more trained scientists are stating that the earth goes through periods of warming and cooling in 20- to 50-year cycles, ranging only 3 percent to 5 percent in temperature. Yet, the press and others seem to ignore the experts and listen to the rumor-mongers. Why can't common sense rule? Because when someone criticizes these self-styled rulers of the world, they come down from their mountain and pontificate "their truth" of how things should be.

Now, with global warming being taken as an absolute truth, the people of the United States are going to be taken for the most expensive con job in the history of man. This con is known as "cap and trade." This will cost the people of the United States several trillion dollars, which, if we are actually able to pay this debt, it will take yours and my great-great-great-grandchildren to do so.

Please contact the people in Washington, D.C., and ask that they delay implementing any law that will have effect on generations of yet unborn children and force them into tax slavery on some spending over which they had no control.

The Chinese are loaning the United States the money to finance this program, and as a result will gladly charge us several trillion dollars in interest to do what our government feels, in error, is necessary.

What??? Could the writer have possibly taken a right wing screed and worked more disparate fantasies into it? Does he know how many real scientists believe humans have altered the climate?
