Clinton: Global "warming" more of a threat than terrorism, Part II

This is a follow-up to my prior post of the same title (minus the “Part II”, of course).

In 2000, Bubba noted the following:

President Clinton has warned that the greatest threat to the free world in the new millennium will come from international terrorism.

In 2006, he said that global “warming” was the biggest threat of our lifetime. Presumably, international terrorism is so passé a whopping five years after 3,000 Americans were slaughtered on our soil, and the threat of terrorism worldwide is just a blip on the radar screen.

After all, who cares about dirty bombs when you have junk science to get Chicken Little over? Virus, schmirus…the SUV will destroy our country! Who needs al Qaeda to wreck our economy when we have tree-hugging anti-capitalist leftists willing to do that kind of work gratis?

No price gouging by Big Oil?

Why, how can this be? From Breitbart/AP:

An investigation by U.S. antitrust authorities found no evidence that oil companies illegally manipulated gasoline prices or constrained oil refining operations, the Federal Trade Commission said on Monday.

However, the agency said it had found 15 examples that fit lawmakers’ definition of price-gouging at the “refining, wholesale, or retail level.” It said factors like regional and local market trends appeared to explain the pricing in nearly all the cases.

Durbin the Turban and others were DYING to implement a windfall profits tax on those evil gouging companies! But they’re not gouging us? The next thing you know, somebody will attribute the rise in gas prices to that “supply and demand” thingee!

Kerry: "A fence is good…before it’s not"

Let me sound the “Beating Dead Horse” alarm, before proceeding with this:

Sen. John Kerry joined most of his Democratic colleagues last week in voting to build a wall along 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border.

But he now says that after the wall is built it should be taken down as soon as possible.

“I voted for it,” Kerry acknowledged Friday while speaking to the New England Council breakfast.

But in quotes picked up by the Boston Herald, the Massachusetts Democrat added: “If I were making the long-term decision, I’d announce, you know, hopefully it’s a temporary measure, and we can take it down as soon as we have enough people” to guard the border.

That kind of “nuance” served him well in 2004, didn’t it?
