Uh, we can't domestically produce all the oil we need. Therefore we have a dependence on foreign oil.
It's not complicated and has nothing to do with protectionism or the price of oil at all. And it definitely doesn't have anything to do with our national central bank, even though cooky libertarians love to rant about this.
This guy's just dumb. Or not addressing the question. Or both.

While I think he overstates it considerably (and dismisses factors like poverty far too casually), I don't necessarily disagree with his overall premise.
If there are obvious physical differences between races, why is it offensive to even entertain the idea that there might be intelligence differences as well? Why MUST differences be entirely caused by culture/environment?
If race X consistently does better/worse in certain areas, why couldn't part of it be genetic?

Global Warming is not a threat to any sort of peace except the peace of mind of people who buy Humvees.
Except that a great many conflicts in the world are due to scarcity of natural resources, and global warming will only exacerbate that. A stable climate is a GREAT thing for world peace.
As far as the "natural cycle" folks go, Gore addresses that, as does the IPCC. We're well outside the bounds of natural cycles. I'm sorry, but I'm going to put more trust in an international panel of scientists, especially when they're in consensus, over some Schnitt radio/internet personality.

Wow, I'm shocked at the number of naysayers out there regarding climate change. How many scientists need to say that:
1) Climate is changing due to an increase in CO2 levels.
2) Humans are the primary cause for the change in CO2 levels.
before you pull your heads out of the sand and see what's going on? It's not like there's any significant scientific debate on the issue any longer.
So yeah, I think he deserves it. If we allow climate change to continue it can and will cause destabilization around the world, and war. A stable climate will do a great deal for Peace.

For what it's worth, it does seem like a pretty mean thing to do to a cat. It's obviously absolutely terrified (check out the hair on its tail), and he starts by throwing it at the wall of the plane.
