Holy God,  I mean what the hell.  It's one thing to have an opinion, but when you are out there fomenting panic the way these lefty morons are, I say *BAM*.  Free speech does not give you the right to yell FIRE in a crowded movie theatre. 

"What you can not enforce, do not command" -Sophocles-

I could have predicted this years ago. This is the logical progession of ideas that only emerge occasionally from a echo chamber. When they do, they sound oddly incoherent and backward to those of us not encApsulated in their chamber.

The only way ideas like this can mean anything is when it is taken seriously by us. I suggest rejecting it as the ideological trash it is--just another attack aginst Christians. 

Who wants to bet that if we find ourselves cooling to the point of starting another ice age fear that the proposed human solution will not involve buying an SUV or Christmas lights. Or any of the various items blamed for the warming cycle that ended in 1998.

There is no end to the lunacy that the Christmas-haters will come up with to try and make all of us feel guilty in some way for trying to enjoy the season.

Next they'll be bitching about all the trees that were cut down to make all the wrapping paper, gift boxes and shopping bags.

They are already moaning about all the cars idling in traffic around shopping malls.

Then it will be that the glass used to make tree ornaments is a waste of energy and sand.

Then it will be the gasoline-powered grinders that are used to mulch Christmas trees when its all over for contributing to pollution.

Then, they'll suggest everybody buy an artificial tree for next year, then turn around and gripe about the amount of plastic used to manufacture same.

Oh, and lets not forget all the precious landfill space all the wrapping paper, gift boxes, etc., is going to take up when it is unceremoniously thrown away by us overly-consumerized, excessive-consumption type people.

Let's face it, these people are liberals, which means by and large they are wretchedly miserable, self-loathing types who never have any fun, and hate anyone who does.

I think they should just be ignored.

You know, I think that next year I am going to add about 2500 lights to my outdoor display, if for no other reason than to cheese-off the Australian climate-weenies, as I am sure they will be able to pick out my house in a nocturnal satellite photo.  :-)

Merry Christmas everybody!

I think Dr. Glenn Whackjob and his contemporaries should sit back, relax, put a little extra spike in their eggnog and enjoy the best light show of the season.

Then in the new year perhaps they could explain to me how having one extra molecule of co2 for every 10,000 molecules in the atmosphere causes global warming.

consumes more energy and produces more pollution than a city of 10,000.

Source of this fact is my own imagination.

Source of Algore's global warming theory - his own imagination.

Now we're even.

I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that Dr Platt has electric lights and air conditioning in his home. Why don't these left-wing extremists do their part and use candles and open their windows for air?

I'd really like to knock the lights outta these Green Shirt freaks.

I'm sorry, is that uncharitable of me at Christmastide?

If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same...
Yours is the earth and all that's in it...

Oh wow, really they cause global warming. Sounds like I should go to the Home Depot and just make a run on Christmas lights like never before, in the way how gun sales went up with Obama--the only industry that doesn't seem to be hard hit by this election. :P

I think we should all buy more Christmas lights, it's too dang cold as it is right now. :)

Years ago, when an Xmas light burned out, you'd just screw in another.  Today's "green" LED strings require the whole string to be replaced each time a light or two dies.  I bought 10 sets (because I really like the bright colors) but within two years all died and had to be returned.  The replacement sets died within two seasons as well.  That's way more garbage in a few years than in a lifetime of using incandescent bulbs ... but apparently that's just a-okay with the eco-religious.

To me it's just another example of greenwashing while ignoring blatant consumerism.  I really wish they'd require the makers to provide screw-in LED bulbs that work with the OLD strings.

  It requires ZERO energy to produce those solar panels!

  Do you want to run your lights during the day when there is solar power or at night? You need rechargeable batteries for that.

 It requires ZERO energy to produce a rechargeable battery! And they last forever! No need to replace them once a year or so and throw away the old ones in that landfill you also hate.
