Backyard Global Warming
Some may have seen this – desperate and comical -- attempt to keep the Global Warming media crusade relevant (brought to my attention at The Drudge Report).
I answered ABC News's questionnaire regarding "changes in my own backyard" caused by "Global Warming" with the following comments:
I've noticed during my life that it's sometimes really hot and at other times it's really cold. I've read about how ice once covered large portions of my home state, Ohio and how places that used to be jungles turned to dessert.
No doubt about it, climate keeps changing.
If only Al Gore and ABC News had been around to save us from that last ice age.
"We need a change" -- I mean, a NON-change.
With an average global increase in temperature of one degree over the last century (the greatest period of stasis occurring during the greatest surge in industrialism), it will be funny to see how well ABC News still manages to find plenty of nutcase stories from people who note just how serious this massive change has affected their backyards and neighborhoods.
The sobriety of some people's conclusions regarding climate are right up there with the sentiment that "things were much better a hundred years ago."
…sheep.
Some more brief comments regarding Ann Coulter's new book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism. First, if they haven't yet repaired the link I've given to amazon.com's site, some "open-minded non-judgmental" leftist was able to hack the site and add a toilet paper roll to the "image" section [the "error" has now been corrected by amazon]. Classic left.
As stated before, this is an excellent book and there's no way one could begin to realize this by the media anti-hype given the book and its author.
There's an excellent chapter that quite accurately critiques the horrid scandal that is America's public school system.
As stated in prior posts, I'm not religious, and I must admit having pretty much accepted Darwinism as a reasonable scientific appraisal of the biological evolution of human existence. Coulter has definitely offered some additional insight into the matter that may challenge some people's thinking. Her knowledge of the issue is remarkable and her skill in presenting numerous facts in history and science is superb. I was particularly impressed with her insights into the history of eugenics and racism. I had been aware of left-wing politics' early history and close alliance with ideologies virtually identical to that of the Nazis and I'm glad that a best selling book is exposing this less than savory element to the phony elitists' philosophical origins.
If one removed the witty sarcasm (some are really funny), Coulter's book would be darn right scholarly.
This little book is successfully packed with information on science, history, philosophy, and the current intellectual/cultural deceptions of leftland.
Note particularly Coulter's writings on eugenics. They should make any true believer in the lefts' values cringe in embarrassment and shame.
Call them collectivists, socialists, or "liberals," the left have always been fascists at heart. The most "greedy" or "heartless" capitalist enterprise could never come close to the genuine "godlessness" and the brutal road of "good intentions" these devils have forced people to march down through history again and again.
