President Barack Obama's push for quick action by Congress on climate change legislation suffered a setback on Thursday when the U.S. Senate committee leading the drive delayed work on the bill until September. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said her self-imposed deadline of early August for finishing writing a bill to combat global warming has been put off until after Congress returns from a recess that ends in early September.

Is this what we’re going to do, let this nation fall into the hands of socialists? Did our founders sacrifice for this end? Did we fight the Civil War to save the Union, to give it away without a fight now? Did we fight across the world, leaving our cemeteries spread everywhere, with honorable American men and women (and some that weren’t even citizens here) resting in peace, to give our birthright away? Not if I have anything to say about it. All Patriots need to rise to the challenge. Kruschev said they would sell us the rope to hang ourselves, he was wrong. Instead, our own government is getting us to commit suicide, by letting them take control of our lives. Big Brother has arrived.

We didn't do any of those things. Our ancestors did. It is a much different world.

Progress does not trump common sense.
Ex Pat
Greg, if you have a point, please spit it out. That was simply nonsensical. Since WW? Huh? There is no way forward but forward. Everything republicans have tried to stop over the years, common sense and progressive thinking is victorious. Remember, it was regressives that wouldn't even GIVE homosexuals ANY rights just 30 years ago and that has changed and will continue to move FORWARD. Interacial marriage was illegal in the 60s, and Conservatives and undereducated Christians wanted it to stay that way. But it changed, as those advocating for change new it inevitably would. I can go one an on (women voting?), but the fact remains, Regressives (because that's what they want really; to regress back to the 19th century) hate change and hate progress (the root of progressive). Admit it. There is nothing you'd rather see that have science dismissed and replaced by religion, and have heterosexual white males as the dominant power group.

EX, you've spent way too much time in a foreign land. You haven't a clue what the Progressive Movement is, what it has done since Woodrow Wilson. You're a blank on the subject. You place high value on the word "progressive" with no knowledge of the issue. In fact, it has often been said by progressives, "the issue is not the issue." Wow, true progressive enlightenment. Tom Hayden and many before him, including the Black Panthers have used the same "logic" you espouse, pure nonsense derived from an education where professors were hounded into submission. Your type if all too familiar. ZERO

90% of the citizens in this country, and I must emphasize citizens, are happy with their health care. Why should we make any changes? I don't want to be put on a waiting list for a procedure that could mean life or death to me.

Liberal plans are not reform, not n overhaul. They are total government takeover. And the way to pay for it is....? When will libs get it straight, someone has to PAY FOR IT. It is NOT FREE.

This was about climate bill---- but on health care , ask any DR. what his/her biggest single expense is and he/she will tell you Insurance--- tort reform would lower all medical costs by 10-15%

Can't have tort reform. Congress is full of lawyers.

I hope this is more than delayed, I hope it dies right along side healthcare.

Yes, both need to be voted down! How can any of our representatives in the House or Senate believe any American taxpayer is for these two things? TWhen are the Beltway people going to start using some "good old common sense?"

Action on climate change is inevitable and eminent; the science is robust, the action plans well known, and more importantly the need is real. Countries like Brazil, India and China will follow suit if countries like America, Canada, France and Australia lead. And what is up with this site, for an entire day I couldn’t post and now the while typing in the remarks space, everything is slowing down, and I’m on a 64 bit, 4 gig of ram laptop and high-speed internet access. Is the site’s programming really THAT bad, or are there other cheap tricks going on behind the scene? FOX? Conservatives? Cheap tricks? Naaaaaaa

Hyper inflation followed by wage/price controls, government control of finance. When foreign energy prices climb, the oil companies lose money doe to the price controls. Government takes over these companies, forcing them into submission, like the banks and auto companies. More money poured into unproductive “green energy” that can’t meet our needs. Now government controls most important segments of the economy, a la Soviet style economic planning. Is that what you want? You’re about to get it.
Ex Pat
Greg, learn about a topic before commenting. Soviet style economic planning? OK, learn about two topics before commenting. Like I said, it's inevitable. We just need to find the best route forward. Keeping your heels in to save a oil barons millions will do nothing for future generations.
Texasgl
No they wont. Australia is pulling back, 2 many job's lost and not enuf results. Next, Dear Pat we have yet to come up with THE Thing that well make the conversion without shutting down 3-4 million people out of work. The Power Grid's they are talking about are not yet INVENTED. Have you not heard about the recent Power Outages??? The New Grid's are failing ( In Ca no less). Why not allow this new Tech to katch-up before we send everyone back to the Dark ages???See you are saying FORCE People into this kind of Ideology even if it is Painful ie Job Looses! That is the most backward thinking I have ever ever heard. You produce it, move people into it keep adding more as you go. The thinking from the left well crush this Country and yall don't care, you want your way.
Ex Pat
Greg what are you on about? This is a global problem, with world scientists and world leaders, it's not a conspiracy again a few conservatives in Texas. Please inform yourself. BTW, the same lame, canards were trotted out when CFCs were phased out under the Montreal protocol, lead taken from gasoline, and when Tobacco was regulated. The same stories about how economies would crumble, and how progressives were driving us into the stone age. Time and time again you will lose and the world will continue on just fine, and a tad cleaner and better because of it.
PATRIOT UPRISING
Liberals, wake up. The EPA, local regulatory boards and environmentalists will prevent building of the grid. Van't you see the deal here? What's wrong with you, snap a couple fingers and walla, it's done. You've all lost your minds.

No Ex Pat, most people are having problems getting their message to post. It's not a right wing conspiracy. My fear is that someone has hacked into the site to slow down free speech.

yes, climate change is inevitable, but not 'man-made' climate change. The climate on this ol earth changes continuously. The only difference is now we have some of the most arrogant sob's ever lived trying to sell us snake oil to 'correct' the course of climate change. Tell you what friend, YOU regulate the sun, our orbit, our axis, the volcanoes and nature .... and then our climate MIGHT stay somewhat stable, but probably not even then. By the way, America has lead any number of noble causes, Brazil, India, China, France, Germany .... any of them follow our lead then? Or just when they needed some thug's butt kicked? pffft

One question Ex Pat: What ended that last ice age when industrialized man wasn't on the scene yet? Oh, by the way, did you miss the official statement that NASA put out concerning global warming a few months ago? They stated that the cause of global warming is (drum roll.....) the sun!
