ANOTHER SANE LEADER ALIENATED

Yet another example that the world is upside down... All across Europe, leaders of nations are signing on to the myth that is man-made global warming (if it wasn't a myth, it wouldn't have been re-named "climate change"). However, Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic is embarassing all of the others who know the truth and go along because of cowardice or ignorance.

(Pictured: Vaclav Klaus - I LOVE THIS GUY) The TIMES ONLINE reports:

In faraway Brussels furious diplomats were calling for his impeachment and even his country’s expulsion from the European Union because of his obstinate refusal to sign the Lisbon treaty. Klaus, now the only European leader holding out against ratifying the document, made it clear he did not give a damn.

Surely, there are other leaders who know the truth as well but where are they? Are they such cowards that they are willing to let Klaus stand alone?

So far, the answer is yes.

Perhaps it's a similar mentality to that of RINO senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham, who are signing on to the CAP & TAX BILL.

Anyway, particularly noteworthy in the Times Online article is how Klaus is standing up to these intenational bullies. Knowing that any change to the charter he thinks is useless, Klaus has advocated a change that would require all 27 nation states to sign before he will accept the treaty himself. The change is pretty reasonable actually - Germans not allowed to reclaim property in the region given to Hitler in WWII:

On Klaus’s return to Prague he dropped a political bombshell. At a press conference in his official residence the Czech leader announced that he would sign the treaty only if his government negotiated an opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which is incorporated in the treaty.

He was concerned that the charter may permit retrospective property claims by the Sudeten Germans, a 3.5m-strong minority group expelled from the Czech Republic after the second world war.

“I have always considered this treaty a step in the wrong direction,” Klaus said. As he is well aware, the slightest change to the treaty, which was first proposed in 2001, would require all 27 EU member countries to agree.

His remarks were greeted with outrage in Europe. German and French diplomats, in talks with their Czech counterparts, explored two ways of removing the Klaus obstacle: impeach him or change the Czech constitution to take away his right of veto.

In a world that is upside down and backwards, it is leaders like Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic, Roberto Micheletti of Honduras, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona who are showing true courage and are on the right side of history. So many others are either nefarious or cowardly.
