How will the "Global Cooling Deniers" spin this one?

BTW: I've been taking daily measurements and it seems that Global Darkening is the greatest threat facing our divine planet. What will become of us when photosynthesis is rendered inoperative by the GLOBAL DARKENING MENACE!

Wow. Just wow.

Mr. Lewis sure doesn’t pull any punches, and the reading’s pretty enjoyable too.

My favorite quotes on liberal self-censorship come from Orwell:

http://orwell.ru/library/novels/Animal_Farm/english/efp_go

I would encourage you to read it. See anything familiar?

Also, see Robert Louis Stevenson's “The Day After Tomorrow” if you want to really see an uncanny parallel to our current situation.

It is not about “global warming” or “global cooling” my FRied, it is about money and control.

The leftist's stance on various disasters (many of their making) are in various stages of the disaster cascade, from cause to hardship to solutions. Just as astronomers can look at thousands of stars and deduce the life cycle of an individual star, we can look at many disasters, and deduce the stages of leftist approach to them.

On health care, they have no thoughts of having creating the messy side of health care over the years, but still want to forge ahead and "fix" it by breaking it even more. Its not their fault that its broken, but they know exactly how to fix it: pour trillions of our kids and grandkids money into it.

Physics scientists look at photographs to see the movement of muons, quarks and the like. The economy is in dire straights because of liberals, perfectly evidenced by the "particle photos" of Barney Franks doings over many years. Any glance of these photos shows his evil doings in the banking and insurance sectors. We've been setup for this current economic mess, and look who happens to have all the "solutions" for it!

It's about money and control,

and Global Warming Climate Change was such a
HANDY TOOL towards that goal.

They'll find something else if they have to abandon this tool, rest assured.

The poor endangered polar bears was a real funny one. They’re 5 times the population of 50 years ago. They’re only endangered by over-population.

What is worse is that “Respectable conservatives” live for the endorsement of liberals.

I heard somewhere that it's coming to my neighborhood in just a few hours!

I'm at my wits' end!

Of course, these days that's a skip and a jump.

Agreed.

I would add that the control part is about depopulation of the human race. That has always been the primary goal of the hard core left.

And Satan. He HATES the people that God loves.

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Liberals are driven by a cowardice so profound, you can’t even imagine it.

No, you can’t.

Oh yeah? Then imagine sacrificing your wife, and your children. Then turn your business over to the State. Then thank the overseer for his destruction of your family. Then get on your hands and knees and lick his boots.

Then, feel good and calm and peaceful about what you’ve done.

Can’t imagine it? Liberals DO IT. Every damn day.

You DO NOT understand them.

Bah. You global darkening shills are gonna get us all killed. Everyone knows that it's darkest before dawn. Just wait, you'll see, the days of the global illuminescence are upon us! We'll be saved about three weeks into December. My zorganthian calendar tells me so. Then we'll be really doomed as the light stretches to fill the days.


Until about June...

LOL, it happens every year about this time, doesn't it?

"Jumped the shark" just about says it for the Nobels .... for me, they dragged their prize through the mud when they gave it to the likes of Le Duc Tho of the North Vietnamese Politburo and Yassir Arafat, just for coming to a meeting to talk about stopping doing what they were doing. Which they didn't.

Then there was the great PC liaress, Rigoberta Menchu, whose lies resembled and foreshadowed those of The Magic Negro.

Shame, the Nobel Peace Prize has had its moments, as when they gave it to Aung San Suu Kyi.

Until 2012. Fortunately, someone made a movie to warn us what that is going to be like!

Sort of like The Day After Tomorrow, only with less ice and tornadoes.

I have made a point of understanding them.
Everything stems from their basic error of their view of the human condition.

They see humans as perfectible, not tragically flawed,
and therefore they put their faith in “supermen” who achieve
political power. These “supermen”, or elites, “know better”. And if they say that you must sacrifice your family and your business and lick their boots, you must, because it’s for your own good.

Conservatives, however, don’t believe in elitism. We know that humans are tragically limited, both in morals and in intellect, as well as in access to enough information. That’s why we don’t trust anyone outside of our family to make decisions about our day to day affairs.

I call them the Global Busy Body Cabal.
The human’s are Gods group think.
