Leon Panetta has spoken

GREEN CRAP but then, what do I know? Blah-blah-blah "The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security," Panetta told the Environmental Defense Fund last night. "Rising sea levels, severe droughts, the melting of the polar caps, the more frequent and devastating natural disasters all raise demand for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief." Guess what?  Panetta is spot-on.  His mistake is allying himself with AGW. Our earth is rumored to have experienced numerous  (unfathomable by man limited by the  boundaries of our own experience) millennial  transitions from ice to hot . We're talking billions, not millions of years.  Let's imagine one  morning just a few hundred million years ago. When the Earth Environmental Defense Agency  cadre woke to discover they had to redo the maps,  and replace fur parkas with fig leaves. Holy crap! If only they had listened to dinosaur flatulence theorists! Central to big government- in any age- are ruling class conceit that they understand everything.  And can keep stuff from happening, if only the stupid people will  tithe at sufficient levels to sustain their efforts.  Here, today, we call these people tyrants, communists, fascists,  progressives, or democrats. Gods who will suffer no other God put before them.  Eventually the people have, and will again, tire of their cruel nincompoopery and carpet bomb them.  Until then we must suffer their pious idiocies. Say Amen.
