With all of the hysteria, all of the fear, all of the phony science, could it be that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people? It sure sounds like it.

A country's adhering to the rule of law does not mean that its citizens will not do bad things.

People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.

America has maintained a prohibition on negotiating with terrorists for good reason.

Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.

We must never forget that many around the globe are denied the basic rights we enjoy as Americans. If we are to continue enjoying these privileges and freedoms we must accept our mission of expanding democracy around the globe.

If the choice is go to war or end up with an American city hit by weapon of mass destruction, then the choice is easy.
