A former TV-land President has harsh words for the Bush Administration, and for you -- and for your lifestyle.
Martin Sheen -- who starred in The West Wing years ago -- accused the Bush Administration of lacking leadership on global warming. He said: "Europe is doing far more than we are...it's very upsetting[.]" He was speaking to the European Parliament in Brussels. Sheen said the US ought to "wake up," be more like the Europeans, and do more to cut greenhouse gasses.
He also criticized Americans for rampant consumerism, which he called a direct threat to the environment. "We are overprivileged. We have a lot; use a lot; waste a lot," Sheen told the Euros.
You know, folks -- put the whole global warming issue aside; it's a hoax, anyway, it's based on faulty science. But it's one thing to have political opinions; everybody's got them. However, to witness an American citizen -- attacking not only his President, but also his fellow citizens on foreign soil -- turns my ever-shrinking stomach!
Now, there are exceptions, but on balance, we Americans work hard for what we have. We're not "overprivileged," welfare-oriented socialists. What you denigrate as "rampant consumerism," Mr. Sheen, is freedom: the individual choices of free people and free markets to improve their lives! As a result, the American economy is the engine that drives the world.
You want us to wake up?? We are awake, Mr. Sheen! So we see your hate-based, anti-American, anti-capitalist agenda. Maybe, Martin, you could see it, too -- if your nose wasn't so far up the posteriors of the Euro-trash you seem to so admire.
