McCain Slams Obama Cap-and-Trade Climate Change Proposal

I don’t understand as much about this proposal as I’d like, but from what I can tell McCain is at least partially right on it.  I don’t think that any type of cap and trade system is necessary for one thing, but for another reasonable.

It gets back to the same old line.  The media is beating the drum of the far left and pushing us further to the left by making knuckleheads believe global warming is real.  Then they want you to believe that a huge bureacracy can buy their way out of it by charging people for everything from driving cars to running their home airconditioners or eating beef (cow farts are causing global warming you know).

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of extremists from both sides pushing their bs on the rest of us.  I’m a Republican but on social issues I’m more aligned with Libertarians.  Don’t tell me I can’t buy alcohol on Sunday because you don’t like it.  If it’s legal on Monday, why not on Sunday?  And don’t give me the whole wine wasn’t wine crap either.  Read YOUR HISTORY to see where that mess came from.

Believe it or not, you can’t legislate your way to heaven any more than you can legislate anyone else to heaven or hell, though you can make their life hell here on earth.  Just ask those who lived through Stalin’s rule of the great socialist experiment.

OK, I’m rambling now but since I pay the rent here and the thought police haven’t fully taken over the internet yet, I’ll say what I damn well please. :-)
