Mr Patriot Act himself.
I saw this troglodyte on the NewsHour (PBS) trying to act all innocent regarding the abuses of National Security Letters under the Patriot Act that he authored and it's amended extension passed last year. This is the bastard (yes, I said it) that would not allow oversight hearings, forbade Democrats from swearing in people when they held fact finding caucuses, and actually left and turned out the lights during one hearing when it didn't go the way he wanted it to go.

What I want to know is how people in Wisconsin, a fairly moderate Democratically leaning state, elected and re-elected this buffoon/moron/tool/politostitute to the Congress in the first place. WTF? I cannot believe the folks back in his home district are all that stupid, misled or inactive. Maybe some good old vote stealing has been going on in his district.

When redistricting time comes around in Wisconsin, they need to carve his district up so badly a Republican couldn't get elected if they were handing out $50 bills at homeless shelters. This guy really needs to go.

Time has long since passed for Americans of conscience to start taking the war for sense and reason to the level of boycotts and sanctions. Just as the U. S. government practices economic sabotage and blackmail against its political enemies, then those of us who retain any economic power should be practicing retribution against the states that continue to elect reactionary, ideological, corporate-sponsored, religious zealots to public office. Don't do business with companies based in states that elect morons like the xenophobe Sensen-burner or Michael Moore's evil twin Hastwerp (Illinois: "Ill", "annoy"); don't go to those states for any reason, and encourage everyone you know to boycott goods and services from neaderthal states that are mostly interested in turning American society into a retro-Middle Ages inquisition, corporate-dominated safe haven for land rapists, water thieves, mad cowboys, and the like. A quick review of Congressional voting records will provide the names of the worst, and you can build your own environmentally and socially friendly, domestic, geo-political realm from that easily available information. Then again, what in hell invaluable service or product does Oklahoma (Inhofe) ever provide me? Oh well, this is still a work in progress. But, the clear trend is to buy local, and avoid doing business with companies in enemy territory. Of course, that might mean punishing a state like Wisconsin, that sends both the relatively progressive Feingold and the reactionary archetype Sensensensensen....senseless man to the Senate -- has America's Dairyland yet been diagnosed with schizophrenia? It must be that communist stronghold in Madison...

Boycotts against ignorance and political malignancy can also be practiced intra-state: for instance, I live in Northern California, but won't do any business with economic interests in San Diego, since the people there see fit to elect assholes like Duncan Hunter. I used to go to Dickhead Pombo's district and rip off stores and leave notes that said "You just got Dicked," but the last election spoiled that fun!

In the big picture, of course, the best option is to just stop buying material goods altogether. Just for practice, support the national strike and boycott against American corporations April 15-22. Skip work, if possible (yes, you can), bike or take public transportation, don't buy anything not absolutely necessary, and when you shop, buy only locally manufactured or grown products. The only way to shut down the pollution, the greed, the injustice, the brutality, and the stupidity of American imperialism is to refuse to participate in it. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

Congressman Sensenbrenner is a skeptic because at one time the state of Wisconsin was covered with a glacier, yes a mile thick ice sheet. This glacier disappeared long before man burned fossil fuels. What caused it to do that?

There are just as many science experts who refute global warming as there are proponents. Many use this as a way to attack capitalism. Global warming was said to be responsible for Katrina, Rita and the terrible hurricanes of 2005. But then there were none in 2006. Everything is cyclical, and that is why there are skeptics like myself. Al Gore is a buffoon.

As a person who strongly believes that global warming is obviously increased by human action, I am preparing for the inevitable future by reading all the material I can each and every day on how business and communities will be affected in my bioregion, the Great Lakes. I am turning myself into an expert on how climate change will alter Lake Michigan's wildlife, social structure and economics. I see this as my responsibility to my children, nieces and nephews. I plan to live to a ripe old age as an entrepeneur and Green businessman, and I hope to do that by charging enormous amounts of money for information and products to the idiots who currently deny what is blatantly obvious. Global warming will make me a rich man, because I'm smarter than 87% of the Republican idiots. Those who cannot see the future will be owned by those who can.
