      To quote someone way much smarter and not as dumb as me, MIT professor Richard Lindzen:

      “With respect to science, the assumption behind CONSENSUS is that science is a source of authority. Rather, (science) is a particularly effective approach to inquiry and analysis. Skepticism is ESSENTIAL to science; consensus is FOREIGN. When in 1988 Newsweek announced that that all scientists agreed about global warming, this should have been a red flag of warning. Among other things, global warming is such a multifaceted issue that agreement on all or many aspects would be unreasonable.”

      beckisnuts says “It really is shocking that one would rather cling to an imaginary being than to reality.“ Truth is that Beckisnuts does not find this ”shocking,” but something he uses to artifically elevate himself above others. He has definite selfesteem issues that he grapples with. He really should have no argument with believers, for after all, he is intelligent enough to understand that his unbelief is in itself a “belief.” It is God that he has a problem with. He wants to live life his way without regret in the end, and he hates the fact that if there is a God, he is screwed. But he is too puffed up with pride, to honestly investigate the reality of God.

We need to clean house asap and get rid of political hacks who threaten our country’s future with their selfish inability to get beyond their own political agenda.

      I knew global warming was a hoax right when the liars started babblin about it in the mid 90′s.In tenth grade I did a school report on the Vikings.The Vikings founded Greenland and named it Greenland because it was green.It was an extremely warm period in Europe around 800-1200 A.D.The French wine economy was devastated because, due to the warm climate many countries were able to grow their own grapes.The northern most areas of England were growing their own grapes.The vikings lived on Greenland for 300 years.Then the “climate changed” and they began to die out due to excessive cold temperatures.The natives of the island “Inuits” were able to survive.The Vikings settlements either fled or died.The first time I saw Al Gore hold up a chart of the earths temperatures the last 2000 years about 10 years ago I new this “climate science” was a hoax.On his graph he showed the earths temperature basically flatlining until the 1700′s.Then the line spiked as evidence of man made global warming due to industrialization.He showed absolutely no jump in temperature during “the great warm between 800-1200 A.D.He did not show it because he would have had to explain why temps.were much higher then they are now.

      I wonder if the methane that escapes is rectum will spontaneously combust and hurl him into the atmosphere making his rant come true. If CO2 was so harmful then why is it released by humans and plants use it to make a breathable habitat for the rest of the world. CO2 is released by Volcanoes and forest fires started by lightning, does he have a cork big enough to stop that and a shield to protect grasslands in Africa and elsewhere around the world. It is amazing that when you oppose their reality with an equal and opposite reality they fain hearing and ridicule your points, so why can‘t opposition to their points which could be proven to be held by a lot more of the scientific community since they are based on reality and not on theory’s that have no weight in the physical world. Remember that Global Warming/Climate Change is based on theoretical computer models of what could happen in the future.

      All you have to do is go back to the ‘70’s and ‘80’s these same scientists were predicting Global Cooling so bad that it would equal another Ice Age at least in the Northern Hemisphere. And when you point that out to them they have an ah ah aha h ha moment of trepidation trying to explain that away. Congress did not pass laws making it illegal to pollute then.

      Maybe all the laws on the books about removing pollution are what is causing Global Warming, since the SMOG is now removed the sun can warm the surface easier so temperatures are rising. But it is my opinion that the Earth is going through a 26,000 year phase of Axis re-alignment and scientists are not sure of the consequences since they have not spent time studying that fact, but it is just beneath their feet in the ground if they can find the dirt levels in time. Our magnetic poles will be moving as they are now but will it continue to move the same direction when that day or era comes. You see if you believe that the Mayan Calendar resets or ends in the Winter Solstice of 2012 then we don’t have a lot of time to find a solution.

      “And then, in the grandest of hypocrasies,”
      In English why must we never start a sentence with AND or BUT? Because using these words would be related to the previous sentence and therefore should be in the previous sentence.

      “So Progressives are the condescending ones, yet it is you folks that are insisting the 63% of voters in Massachusetts’ 7th district are somehow not patriotic, not American enough, because they voted how they wanted to vote.” Run on sentence here. It should read, “So Progressives are the condescending ones (rhetorical question understood to be answered in the affirmative)? Yet Conservatives insist 63%……………

      “People on these boards wave around the “we the people” phrase”
      This sentence should read, “People on this board wave around the phrase, “we the people…….”

      “because of how shallow the respect for people’s actual choice there is.”
      This sentence should read, “………for people’s actual is in reality.”

      “and that’s what I was mocking,”

      This is why this “politician” is a an arrogant blowhard. Not because he has an opposing view, but because he is arrogant and assuming in his expression of it. Therefore, it elicits an emotional response from those with the opposing view. Case in point…….your response to me. That is what people are responding to with contempt. I would never really call people out on their writing skills and use of English. That would be to ignore my many errors in the same area. So mine was an exercise to demonstrate that in stating your opposing view is fine, but when you do so with arrogance and condescension, as is the case with this politician and my grammar correction, you really weaken your own position in the eyes of reason and close the door or real discussion. I hope I didn’t offend your English sensitivities. But it did demonstrate my point in a proficient manner. No hard feelings and thanks for helping out.

Contrary to what you remember from elementary school, it is not necessarily incorrect to begin a sentence with “and” or “but.” What you assumed was a rhetorical questions was not–I’m sorry that my complicated “so…, yet….” construction was confusing. Coordinating conjunctions are hard!

      Just a suggestion here. Maybe when criticizing someone’s grammar, you should write in complete sentences. Also, sound logic would help. It is not hypocritical to mock someone for being condescending. Call me condescening all you want, as long as you recognize the “pot calling rhe kettle” scenario.

However, I think when a politician makes a public and national statement in a way that castigates the opposing view as idiots or imbeciles when the topic being discussed is, at the VERY LEAST, an unsettled science is why this approach is so divisive. Therefore, I can understand people voicing their displeasure with this man’s arrogance. I would certainly give a pass to liberals on the other side of the aisle if it went the other way and the counter argument was presented in the same tone and manner. I would not mind if they made comments about their feelings on a blog or website. However, I would hope that if they engaged someone of the opposing view they would be able to do so with a mutual respect for dignity, unless the other person as lost that respect.

But because you have an ideological axe to grind you held posters here to a standard that you did not maintain yourself when you felt demeaned by me, which was the point of what I did.

      That woman in the picture looks like a candidate to replace the fired NPR executives. She seems to have the correct amount of arrogance and condescension.

      If we can get science to tell them that they just can’t print money and get something for nothing, then maybe they’ll see the truth.

      Yeah right, as if religion didn’t know the earth was round….keep dreaming liberals….Isaiah at least knew. Besides if the earth didn’t circle the sun as in heliocentrism, then how would it be able to pull in the Unholy souls of liberals into the sun’s sea of fire in the last days?

      Yuck; what an ***h***; look at the smug look on the b-i-ich over his left shoulder; i.e. all you wretched creachers in ‘fly over land’ are too STUPID to manage your lives; that is why “progresssives’ invented “Harvad” to produce people to save you morons.

      The dumb ones are in MASS that keep electing the idiots……….

      The man is another moron from the fairy tale land of Utopian Progressiveness. They never learn, but you know a nerve is struck when they start name calling during debate on an issue.

      Just so that we are clear – No human being can tell you scientifically what gravity is – Albert Einstein
      could not and no current physicist. Gravity is one of 4 of the forces of the universe and is the weakest.
      (strong & weak nuclear, electro magnetism and gravity.) some scientist in association with the M theory believe we share gravity with an other dimension. Yes Gravity is the attraction of a smaller mass to a larger mass but why? – Some scientist believe it is “gravitons” however these have not been found?
      So if you think us humans are real smart – we don‘t know what’s keeping our arse in the chair.
      Especially elitist arrogant liberals.
