Recently at like the most de boring debate ever - (held in the same burg where Old Glory Herself hid in exile during the horrible Confederacy times) some interesting stats were thrown down gauntlet style by “that one“.

The uncool appeal to deceive Americans and their innate sense of fair play is essentially that Great Satan sweetly reclines atop only 3% of mother earth’s resources while unsweetly devouring 25% of Momie Earth’s resources.

Even worse, Great Satan’s insatiable appetites are queering the mix for tons of foreigners - especially those living under tribal or despotic rule.

“The international order is based in large part on American
domination that resembles imperialism. This can be seen from the disproportional advantage that the United States enjoys across several sectors related to the conditions necessary to sustain human life.

Not only is American the world’s largest consumer of resources, but
it also increasingly control the access to those resources giving this country a de facto strangle hold on life on our planet. Even where development takes place—to which the United States is frequently a contributor—that development often contributes to America’s increased superiority and dependence by the ‘partner’ on America’s assistance.

The inequalities caused by this situation perpetuate an environment
of oppression from which the majority of the people of the world are confined to an inhumane existence.

While indeed this could be changed by a radical shift in American
policy, such as the acceptance of a greater degree of equality and justice in the world, this is not happening.”

Natch - the only hope for the entire world is for Great Satan to get into the fairness game and stop gobbling up the world’s goodies.

“The changes that are necessary to allow for peaceful international
coexistence among all people and to preempt violent revolution must be substantive, not illusionary. They require a literal counter-revolution in American thinking about its goals and policy priorities.

They require a commitment to sharing the fruits of the world’s
natural and human resources more fairly among the people of the world. They require a system that holds authoritative actors accountable to ensure the rights that they have pledged to uphold in the numerous international undertakings that they have given their people and the world community at large.

If these goals cannot be accomplished the presently growing
environment of inequality and injustice will be become unsustainable and unbearable.”

Otay - Let’s review:Great Satan - all by her lonesome is devastating the world’s pop with her greedy, unbridled, unfair energy desires.

YAWN.

So what?

Look at what Great Satan does with her ill gotten, ill divy’d spoils:

In any endeavour - academics, arts, biz, communications, entertainment, health, medicine, science, tech, travel, space exploration and work enhancement - Great Satan leads the world.

Everything - from electric pencil sharpeners to Ipods. Americans have invented nearly everything in the last 60 years from Barbies and Hot Wheels to laser surgery and the WWW.

Plus, Great Satan doesn’t hoard her unfair inventions like HIV meds or disaster relief.

Certain nations that sit atop most of the world’s oil reserves have absolutely NO track record of humanitarian relief efforts in their own back yard - like a massive mud slide in Pakistan - let alone easing suffering around the world.

When did Mommie Russia act out to save lives? Or Red China? Or any of the 22 and a half members of the Arab League?

It’s not unfair divides of energies that has made Great Satan truly great. It is her irresistable drive to fashion and uphold her tolerant, egalitarian society with all the trimmings - a military under civilian control, an independent judiciary under elected gov oversight, transparent and periodic elections, a nat’l treasury under public scrutiny and an uncensored free press.

Whenever the 3% versus 25% screed is brought up - feel free to LOL and point out all Great Satan’s accomplishments - and quiz the quizer that it might be way cooler to grant her the other 75%

When I helped found Greenpeace in 1971, my colleagues and I were firmly opposed to nuclear energy. But times have changed. Nuclear energy is the only non-greenhouse gas-emitting power source that can effectively replace fossil fuels and satisfy growing demand.

Nuclear energy is affordable. The average cost of producing nuclear energy in the United States is less than 2 cents per kilowatt-hour, comparable to coal and hydroelectric.

Nuclear energy is safe. In 1979, a partial reactor core meltdown at Three Mile Island frightened the country. No one noticed that Three Mile Island was a success; the containment structure prevented radiation from escaping and there was no injury among the public or workers.

Spent nuclear fuel is not waste. Recycling spent fuel, which still contains 95 percent of its original energy, will greatly reduce the need for treatment and disposal.

Nuclear power plants are not vulnerable to terrorist attack. The 5-ft.-thick reinforced concrete containment vessel protects contents from the outside as well as the inside.

Nuclear weapons are no longer inextricably linked to power plants. Centrifuge technology now allows nations to produce weapons-grade plutonium without a reactor. Iran’s nuclear weapons threat, for instance, is distinct from peaceful nuclear energy.

Nuclear reactors offer a practical path to the hydrogen economy. Excess heat from the plants, instead of fossil fuels, can be used for electrolysis. It also can address the increasing shortage of fresh water through desalinization.

Together with a combination of solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric sources, nuclear energy can play a key role in producing safe, clean, reliable baseload electricity.

Now that the Democrats have, at long last, selected their nominee, “We” need to remind ourselves of long-standing facts concerning those persons we elected to public office. More importantly, the presidential candidates need to hear from us.

The United States is hovering closer to the thin edge of the wedge, because too large a percentage of the men and women we voted to represent our best interests – and those who will yet finagle to win our votes – are preoccupied in grudge matches for supremacy within their club quarters.

Here’s a little list of some of my favorite blogs and web sites at the moment–I’m sure I’ve left some out. Actually, I guarantee that I’ve left some (or many) out, but I only have so much time on my hands….

Bruce Kelly

For a really good resource on Conservative blogs and Conservative sites, visit BruceKelly.com. From here, you can find all sorts of great sites and resources. Mr. Kelly includes a steady update of recent articles; summaries of various sites; and has recently added a link to his new “Digg-clone” Tastylinks.com which I’ve just registered for, so I can’t give you much feedback on it yet….stop by for yourself. Great name for a site, though–quite frankly, I can’t believe the domain was still available!

Churchill’s Parrot

Some of the most eloquent conservative writing on the Internet can be found here on NeoConstant–when I syndicate posts from my friend Charlie, Churchill’s Parrot. The Parrot has a way with words and ideas that is quite beyond me. (I blame it on his age–after all, he was in the thick of things with Mr. Churchill, and he’s been defending the honor of Britain and the Anglosphere ever since!) Charlie has started a community of bloggers called the Anglosphere Consortium, of which I am a proud member. The organization also has a forum hosted here on NeoConstant.

Meryl Yourish

For those of you who are, like me, Zionists, you may want to check out Meryl Yourish’s blog. She manages to blog faster and more furiously than almost anybody. Her blog is a very good source of information on Israel and the conflict there. I’m not sure how anyone can post so much, but I’m glad she does.

Elder of Ziyon

Also, head over to the Elder of Ziyon, another excellent Zionist blog with a veritable wealth of information about Israel and the terrorists committed to her destruction. Like any true Zionist blog, this one takes a critical look at the US and how US policy is not always in-line with Israeli interests, so if you happen to be blindly pro-America you may want to stop by and get a broader perspective.

Deeper Look

A Deeper Look Weblog is a fantastic blog about the spread of Islamic Radicalism in the west. I never ceased to be amazed with the amount of resources and information that Krishna is able to pull together there and on Newsvine. Very strong writing and commentary on terror and Islamism, and an avid supporter of Israel.

Neo-Neocon

For Neoconservative writing, it’s hard to beat Neo-Neoc on. Each post is well thought out and eloquent to a fault. Neocons get a bad wrap these days, so it’s nice to see others out there with a strong voice, and a sharp intellect. A good deal of Neo-Neocon’s writing revolves around domestic issues, history, and so forth, but the Neoconservative vein is still strong.

…and many more.

Beyond this, I get into too many debates at Newsvine; spend some time over at Digg; and enjoy tech blogs like Engadget when I’m in the mood for something a little less heavy than politics and world affairs. I can’t keep up with too much, so my Gather and Myspace pages are pretty much dormant.

I also blog at Blendwire and the Daily Elephant.
