Letter to the Editor

Biggest threat is climate change?

Fear not. Liberals will save us.

I'm confused. I thought America's No. 1 enemy is radical Islamists and the al-Qaida affiliated groups that killed four U.S. citizens, including an American ambassador in Benghazi. But no, they were ruled out by President Obama in a recent interview. He referred to the new groups of al-Qaida as the "jayvee" team of world threats. Obama said if a jayvee team puts on Lakers' uniforms, that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant. That's comforting, so mark amateur al-Qaida off your list.

OK. Our greatest threat must be Syria and Bashar al-Assad's massacre of more than 100,000 citizens and his use of chemical weapons. But no, Russia's Vladimir Putin has taken control of that crisis for us.

OK. Surely our enemy is Iran. They sponsor terrorism worldwide and have been enriching uranium to develop nuclear weapons. But no, Obama has eased economic sanctions against Iran because they "promised" us they would never do that. Their intentions are only peaceful.

No, my fellow citizens, America's greatest global threat is -- climate change.

Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama have declared that "climate change" ranks right up there with terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

I'm so proud of the Democrats. Last Monday night, Harry Reid, and dozens of his friends, used the floor of the U.S. senate for an all-night "Climate Change Talk-a-thon."

Fear not, America. The Flat Earth Society is heading for their bunkers.

Surely, our country is safer now.
