It is a double standard simply because each side is using the same tactics and pointing fingers. So over all it is double standard on each sides part.

Ok, here's the definition:

Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum form.

The rule does not state whether any reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the probability of such a reference increases over time. It is precisely because such a comparison may sometimes be appropriate that Godwin has argued[4] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.

In one of its early forms, Godwin's Law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions.[5] The law is now applied to any threaded online discussion, including electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, blog comment threads, and wiki talk pages.

Where is the double-standard?

Okay with that it is not referring to Dem or Rep but in the context where you posted it sounded like you were singling out Rep

This worth a read from the UK press. A bit old but still relevant. Nigel Lawson was Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Zealotry over *anything* is bad! This is no different. What's required is a metered thoughtful approach.

Glad to see somebody else that gets it... and that is just the tip of the iceberg:D

I heard the UK isn't falling for the global warming lie so easily.

I say it is a money making scheme that they are eventually going to use to start taxing and charging us for. They already said that cars are going to start having to have a CO2 sticker along with the emissions and any state inspections stickers. Then they are starting to charge for permits to barb que in your own backyard and they will find more much more.

And the leftists in the US complain about the war against drugs filling-up the prisons; where they going to put all the offenders?

[N0help4u]

They will just take all the offenders carbon credits away from them.
In my state the drug dealers are home with the 'ankle bracelet' while the dead beat dads are doing time for non payment of child support.

Agreed!

Let us not forget to charge extra tax on beans and bean-eaters because they produce an abundance of gas. Then we should target all the cows and pigs too. It may sound silly, but someone will come up with this idea, I'm sure.

I'm not saying that the world should not work on being a little cleaner - but that takes cooperation and not placing fault. And we could prepare for evolutionary change, but not by putting money in the pockets of those who don't give a darn.

For sure that IS what they ARE headed for.
They are already trying to pass laws that if you are overweight you are not going to be allowed to eat at restaurants. I have been wondering how they are going to determine overweight. Like if you are 168 lbs and same height and same build as your best friend but they happen to be 173 or you going to be allowed to go to restaurants but not your friend?

I think this one has run out of steam, I'm going to cancel my subscription for now, but before I go, no offense George_1950, but I think I noticed a spelling error in the title to your post?

Shouldn't it have read:

Al Gore-the high priest of environmentalism-just a "poop" scientist!

You made a 'poop' joke. Now we know what kind of mind we are dealing with.

If previous posts are any indication of what kind of a mind we are dealing with,
Your's don't speak very well of your mind either.

Besides, poop and Al Gore, just belong together, it is such a natural pairing I couldn't let the opportunity pass without mention, that's all.

Honestly, I couldn't care less what you or any of the other left leaning folks think about me, or my mind.

If that was a lame attempt at an insult... you missed.

Another inconvenient fact: "Anchorage could hit 65 degrees for fewest days on record... The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say."

I know Pittburgh Pa is the coldest dampest summer I have ever seen in 53 yrs!
I have been begging global warming believers for the past couple years to PLEASE send me the global warming.
