Ted, In the meantime, implement strong conservation measures. All the increased taxes on gas should be going to alternative energy sources. ... We are a smart country. If we plan this well, the inconvenience will be relatively minor.

Strong conservation measures do not amount to a "minor inconvenience." Significant taxes on gas is going to be a major drag on the economy. This, plus Washington's bipartisan desire to increase social spending even more will turn this American economy into a socialist's dream, where everyone is equally demotivated to do anything.

I do support more public funding for alternative energy sources, though. I'd rather pay for that than a prescription drug benefit, or a new "Joint Strike Fighter," or even a new $20 bill.

China is too busy becoming the next great capitalist giant.

What do you think is going to fuel that effort? A bunch of Chinese citizens pedaling bikes attached to generators?

This attack on Iraq and how the American public went along with it when many of them knew full well that Bush was BSing us.......its bad.......its how people are when empires are in decline.

Iraq might be expensive, but it's still a small step in the right direction. With better intelligence and smarter deployment of our forces, the guerillas will be crushed, and Iraq can be transferred to its own people sooner.

What's going to cause our "empire" (as you put it) to decline is the same sort of self-pity and self-loathing that liberals promote, all because we've "sophisticated" ourselves away from traditional values.
