Comments on: Obama is from Mars http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/06/11/obama-is-from-mars/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

This includes Pat and all the other editors of the Rockford Register Star. May I remember that the next time I post a futile counterpoint to one of Pat's presumed axioms. My appogies for crossing the line in the past.

In that case, it was you who resorted to baseless ridicule "instead of honest debate." One more thing: I am not THE former editor of this paper. I am A former editor. And none of the editorships I held amounted to THE editorship of all editorships. I was just a cog in the mighty machine.

Any issue that doesn't confirm his world view is subject to ridicule instead of honest debate.

I never said it was hooey.....perhaps what causes global warming can be debated. I'm sure when Obama does indeed let gas prices rise even more (which he is on record for stating that it was a good thing) , our CO2 emmissions will fall a little on Earth....but we are talking about Mars now aren't we?

So is evolution. So is any scientific theory that goes against our Judeo-Christian beliefs or inhibits the spewing of greenhouse gases by our industries and their products.
