One day, our grandchildren may ask us what we did when Islamic fascism threatened the free world. Some of us will say we were preoccupied with fighting that threat wherever possible; others will be able to say they fought carbon dioxide emissions. One of us will look bad.
? Dennis Prager


Here Prager sounds reminiscent of Gen. George S. Patton Jr.’s famous speech to the Third Army, June 5, 1944:

There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON’T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, “Well, your Granddaddy shoveled s#$% in Louisiana.”

Or, for that matter, “Well, your Grandparent peddled bulls#$% about smokestack emissions creating hurricanes in Louisiana.”
