Hard to believe that this was once the party of JFK and Harry Truman. Hard to believe. I didn't leave the Democratic Party. It left me.

The Annapolis Summit is over before it starts. The Arabs are insisting on right of return for all Palestinians. For Israel, this is the equivalent of suicide. If Olmert agrees to that, the Isrealis will soon be the refugees, and then all the leftist Palestinian supporters will have a new cause.

And can someone please explain to me why the libs are so supportive of Muslim radicals. If those same libs were forced to live under a Muslim government, they would learn the true meaning of oppression. If you don't believe me, ask that woman in Saudi Arabia who is going to be whipped to death because she was raped. Wake up, you idiots! Islam is the enemy. It is the antithesis of everything a good liberal Democrat believes in.

I'm sick and tired of all of this emphasis on Abu Ghraib. I've seen worse frat hazings. Saddam Hussein used acid and industrial meat grinders on his prisoners. Stripping a guy to his underwear and pointing at his junk and laughing is not torture. Dripping acid on that guy's junk while he screams in pain is torture. Feeding his feet into a grinder is torture. The Mahdi Army has a penchant for electric drills. Al-Qaeda likes to scoop people's eyes out with a hot spoon and skin people alive. That's the enemy we are fighting. Yet, we want to hold congressional hearings over waterboarding. Get a clue, people. Navy SEALs are waterboarded as part of SERE (Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape) training. So are many of our combat pilots. Our enemy thinks we are weak, and our insistence on flagellating ourselves over this BS proves that he is right. Those idiots at Abu Ghraib shouldn't have taken pictures. But worse, the idiots in the American media shouldn't have run them. American publications would have never reported on American transgressions—and there were plenty—in World War II. Of course, those guys wanted America to win. The contemporary media doesn't care how many American GI's are killed as long as they can stick a finger in Bush's eye. Most of you may not think this war is important. But then you haven't shouldered a rifle in the service of your ungrateful countrymen have you?

May I ask the climate scientists among you two questions:

If you can answer them, I will pledge my allegiance to the global warming movement.

1. What is your control for your experiments?

2. What should the temperature of the Earth be?

Heck, if you guys will support the building of nuclear power plants, I'll support your movement.

Otherwise, I believe that it is nothing more than anti-American, anti-industrial politics.

Finally, is there really anything that anyone can do to reduce CO2 when the Chinese are bringing so many dirty coal plants online?

One other comment: Can someone please make an electric car that doesn't make me want to puke. Priuses look like garbage and every other plan I've seen looks like a freaking Camry, a golf cart, or a pregnant motorcycle. Make me a good, fast electric car that I can afford, and I will buy it. (Yes, I know about the Tesla. Do you have $150K for a car?) I will buy it not to save the planet but to give the finger to the Arabs and Hugo Chavez.

I didn't say anything about communism.

Do I believe the green movement is anti-industrial and it would prefer that we all live in huts? Yes, absolutely.

You may disagree with that.

But as someone who has studied science at an undergrad level, I also believe I have two legitimate questions for climate scientists.

What is the ideal temperature for the Earth? The truth is that, historically, man thrives when the planet is warmer. He starves when the planet is colder. Is there a limit to this thinking, absolutely.

What is your control group?

If you can't answer those two questions, then I stand by my reasoning that this is more political than scientific.

Do I believe that we should find non-polluting forms of energy? Yes. But unlike the greens, I don't believe that we can just wave a magic wand full of pixie dust and create technologies that don't currently exist. If you really believe CO2 is a problem, build nuke plants. I lived in Japan; it works for them. As for cars, like I said, I will drive an electric when they make one that has some power and doesn't look like a pregnant roller skate.

If you talk to soldiers serving in Iraq—which is something Code Pink would never do—they complain of boredom. The war is largely over in Iraq, and we won. Yes, I know men and women service members are still being attacked in Iraq, but the insurgency is truly in its death throes. Are they protesting victory? Are they protesting the fact that our troops are in Iraq rebuilding the country and providing stability for the new government? Or are they protesting the war in Afghanistan? If so, they should be reminded of the enemy that they are aiding. I would recommend that a counter protest should march down the street carrying photos of women who have been stoned to death by the Taliban for not wanting to be relegated to the same status as a donkey. Maybe they could also carry pictures of little girls burned to death in their schools or female teachers who have been beheaded. Code Pink needs to get a clue that there is evil in the world and sometimes the only way to knock it down is with a hail of bullets.
