John McCain's Speech, Disagreements

 

Yesterday, John McCain gave a big speech on foreign policy in Los Angeles. For the most part, I agree with the main thrust of his speech. He gave a big portion to stopping the terrorists wherever we find them. He also put in a good line that anyone who does not advocate stopping the terrorists in their tracks is not worthy to be in the Oval Office. That is a direct swipe at both Democrat candidates who think that if we stop fighting, the terrorists will pick up their weapons and go home.

There were a couple of things that bothered me in his talk. One was that he wants to shut down the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. That is a great place to hold them. They are held securely in American control and on foreign soil. Both are good for America. To bring them into the US would allow them access to the US court system which is rife with liberal Democrats appointed by Clinton and even Carter. They would find infinite ways of getting out of detention using our courts. They would also compromise our security setup by making our Intelligence Services disclose what we know in open court. That would allow the terrorist network to work to compromise our techniques and improve their security. All of that is bad for our country. I cannot think of a single good thing that shutting down the base would do. In other words, there are lots of bad ideas for shutting down the base and no good ones. I suppose the only good one is that the liberal Democrats in the media would like the base shut down. That is not a good enough reason to destroy our security.

The second thing that I heard that bothered me was John McCain’s love of global warming. He believes the lies told by the environmentalists hook, line and sinker. There is no scientific evidence that supports the position that John McCain and the loony left have that there is man-caused global warming. The earth has not warmed for at least 10 years. The earth’s oceans are cooler now than they were 10 years ago. The ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic are larger and thicker than they have been in at least 50 years. None of this evidence points to global warming occurring at any time within the lifetime of anyone currently living on our planet or their great-great-great grandchildren. And that is assuming that everyone is doing what we are doing now.

The evidence is pretty clear and convincing that global warming is not occurring. It will take awhile for people to realize that global warming has been one gigantic hoax. It was cooked up by the communists to get people to embrace communism in the theory that they were doing something for the environment. The communists realized that people were willing to do things and sacrifice to make our planet a better place to live. They then decided to take over the environmental movement and make communism all the solutions to the “problem” of global warming. Of course they never actually said that communism was the solution. If they had said that communism was the solution to anything, nobody would have followed the movement. They just took the theories of communism and couched them in environmental language to get people to accept them.

If you doubt that comment, let’s look at what their solutions are for all the problems of global warming. Every time they say there is a problem with global warming, they want the government to come in and have a solution. When you add all their solutions up, you have the government controlling almost all of your actions. Let’s now look at communism: in communism, the government is the solution to all the problems. The government controls all aspects of your life. Is there a difference between the two? There may be some semantic difference, but in practical terms the government would control all of your life from cradle to grave. They both sound like communism to me. If they are both communism, then the solution to the global warming crisis is communism.

I think most people with a brain would say that communism is not a solution to global warming. They are not even shooting at the same target. The goal of communism is control over every aspect of your life from cradle to grave. The goal of the solution to global warming is supposed to be control over environmental problems that would stop global warming. As you can see, the environmental movement has been hijacked and they do not even know it.

 It is ridiculous to talk about science to a believer in global warming. They are not interested in the science of global warming. They are invested so heavily in the hysteria that they will not listen to the science. Since they are invested in the hysteria, they will believe any proposed solution. The communists were right in gaining control of the environmental movement and putting their solutions as the solutions for any environmental problem.

We cannot go following the environmental movement and their proposed solutions. If John McCain thinks that conservatives will allow the US government to become communist, he has another thing coming. That is one reason I believe that John McCain is a one term President.
