Freedom and Equality can have subtle interpretations with major differences in resulting behavior.
In general, the French have perceived equality as no one is inherently better than me. Americans see equality as I am not inherently better than anyone else. Europeans are amazed when Americans patiently wait in line for their turn while the French will push ahead in a mad rush to be first. The net result can be seen in the different outcomes of the American and French revolutions. The American perspective has a basic understanding that there is something greater than me (God) but when individuals see themselves as the center of the universe (secular view – no God) there is nothing left to hold them in check because ‘no one is better than them’. With respect and reverence for a higher being, individuals can then operate based on a morality that is not self-centered but other-centered (I am no better than any one else.) If we lose this viewpoint and fail to export it, freedom and democracy have no foundation or ‘glue’ to hold it together.

Guess what! China has four times our population, and holds most of our Treasury debt, and it is “so big, so important, so powerful” that it can do what it wants, REGARDLESS of what the United States does. Including emit more CO2 than we do with absolute impunity–what are we going to do about it, Mr. Holdren? REALLY!!!

We are more technologically advanced than China FOR NOW, but China is catching up fast.

So if China will do what it d@mn well pleases regardless of what we do, SO SHOULD WE–why should we tax our relatively efficient energy producers and squander our technological advantage, and let China dominate the world? If the United States is not exceptional, another nation will be!!! Should we trust ourselves with world domination, or the Chinese?

spot on

um, no. Holdren’s worse than Sunstein, by far. And Sunstein’s much smarter and slicker, and less of a threat to boot.

We know where they stand. We know what they think.

You cannot rationally debate or have civil discussions with people who want to undo the constitution and do not believe in the founding principles. Who don’t understand the terms they use because they have corrupted them to advance their cause. Who believe in imaginary problems, created to advance their cause.

How can we believe in people who are ready to negotiate with out preconditions with a fascist totalitarian theocracy but they will not offer that same courtesy to their own people on a matter as critical as their own health.

If healthcare passes, what next? Where is the line drawn.

Do we draw a line at cap and trade, gun control, localism, national service?

We are heading down a dangerous path.

Didn’t know it was a disease.

No, it’s a crisis.

There has been a strain of what many people call “US exceptionalism” in the United States, the notion that the United States is so big, so important, so powerful, so technologically advanced that it can and should do what it wants. I think this strain is misguided.
and there’s going to have to be a degree of redistribution of how much we consume, in terms of energy and material resources, in order to leave room for people who are poor to become more prosperous.

Another communist A-hole. Yet another clear example of Chancellor Bozo’s belief system. he hires those who think like he does.

If it waddles and quacks etc…

We will now have a LOON in charge of the Regulatory apparatus of the US… just when the EPA is about to force regulation of the very air we breathe by declaring CO2 a pollutant…

We need to redistribute every person in this sham administration-right back under whatever rocks they slithered out from under…on a remote island.

Tweaked a wee bit. Otherwise, excellent idea. :o)
