It Takes a Special Kind of Stupid to Be This Acquiescent to the State

[MickeyW]

Have you ever noticed, ladies and gentlemen, how the... You know, I call them the left, the liberals, the Democrats, whatever. Have you ever noticed how they claim they love Mother Nature? They just love it! They don't like humanity much because humanity destroys Mother Nature. But they love Mother Nature. But then when Mother Nature does something nasty, like give us a drought or give us a hurricane, it's not Mother Nature's fault. No! It's our fault. It's mankind's fault because man has brought about climate change.

And Mother Nature is merely another poor victim of capitalism and uncaring, unfeeling, mean-spirited, extremist human beings. I just... I look at what has been reported about this hurricane, what was reported before it hit. By the way, for those of you wonder, we dodged the bullet as I knew. Well, I didn't even any... I look at the models yesterday and the forecast, and I was telling everybody that was asking, "Look, it's gonna go enough away from us that we're not gonna get the brunt of this," and it did. We had some damage where I live...

"'It's in the interests of the left to have destructive hurricanes so they can blame it on climate change, which they can desperately try to sell,'" they quote me as saying. "While Limbaugh admitted that Hurricane Matthew was a serious storm..." Of course, that doesn't matter. I "admit" that it's a serious storm. "...Limbaugh also claimed that it was the first of its kind in more than a decade." It is! It's the first major hurricane -- and it hasn't struck land yet, by the way, which is not good 'cause it's not weakening that way.

[DaveFagan]

Sounds like you and Limpdick on the same page. That's special. Glad you didn't get damage.

 

[Ikari]

They don't like humanity much because humanity destroys Mother Nature.

Well one likely needs to be able to understand a bit of the universality of humanity to like humanity in the first place. Those who dismiss the humanity of others can't be said to like humanity either.

 

[ARealConservative]

it's even worse then you suggest

they setup an economic system based on debt and bubbles.

When the economy recedes and people stop consuming so much, they rush to figure out how to get people to spend again.

then they sit around wondering why we pollute so much and what we can do to solve it.

 

[Hawkeye10]

The weather people, the "journalists", and the politicians constantly play up the dangers of storms, for different reasons. The weather people want to feel important, the "journalists" are mostly tabloidists now because that is what the people who pay them want and this is right in their wheel house, and the politicians want to show us that they care about us every so often after they spend most of their time neglecting their duties.

Rush is mostly Right.

But, you see, the point is, "said the government's hyping Hurricane Matthew to sell climate change."

No they were doing this even before climate change became a thing, but yes from now on every bad weather event will be caused by humans according to these clowns.

The stupid think that we can dig up millions of tons of fossil carbon and release it into the atmosphere without effecting our climate. They also don't understand that hurricanes are powered by heat energy in the water around them so they do not see why warming oceans could cause larger and more powerful storms.

Numerous studies in recent years have found no evidence that the number of hurricanes and their northwest Pacific Ocean cousins, typhoons, is increasing because of the rise in global temperatures.

But a new study in the journal Nature found that hurricanes and typhoons have become stronger and longer-lasting over the past 30 years. These upswings correlate with a rise in sea surface temperatures.

The duration and strength of hurricanes have increased by about 50 percent over the last three decades, according to study author Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.

the truly stupid have no idea how their progressive policy increases demand on fossil fuels by playing god with scarcity of resources

 

[Hawkeye10]

Hot Take: A country that has no problem loading our kids and grand kids up with debt while not taking care of basic infrastructure is not going to deprive ourselves of one damn thing for "global warming".


PLUS, we remember corn based ethanol. The experts who sold us that were either incompetent or liars. Which one was it?

Global Warming is Natural and not man made. It's the biggest Lefty con since FDR.

Exactly!

Boy howdy. Corn ethanol has ruined more engines and cost the average American so much money, it's downright criminal!

it can be both

 

[Hawkeye10]

We spent a **** ton of money on a program that was sold as good for the environment which is actually bad for the environment, plus it came with a bunch of other problems. Even now we cant get off of it. It amazes me that the elite act like they we the little people have completely forgotten about this huge expensive very recent blunder as they go about selling their next "WE GOTTA SAVE THE PLANET!" plan. It should shock no one that the American people put "global warming" far down the priority list after that.




Failure to perform carries consequences, a concept that the elite best get busy understanding. I noticed yesterday that the IMF is now concerned that globalization leaves too many out, that there are too many losers, and since a lot of folks have the vote little people can kill globalization. They are only at least 20 years late waking up.

Your ability to swallow such large amounts of Limbaugh's uneducated BS is amazing.

Just keep not thinking..it makes life easier.

I dont believe in following the experts, I am Zen, I follow my own intuition upon consult with those who hang out the expert shingle.

And let's take a good look at where the practice of following the experts has gotten us shall we?

Clinton v Trump, I need say no more.

False equivalency.

I'll stick with actual science, not ratings hungry gasbags pumping out daily anger for the rabble.

 

[Opopanax]

Science and hurricanes, yet another arm of the liberal conspiracy.

It'd be funny if there weren't enough potential goobers who might take these dummies seriously and choose to stay at home instead of evacuating.

The scientists know next to nothing about how the planet works, they cant even to date figure out how our bodies work, and after they do figure it out if they ever do then we need to decide what to do about it. Human existence to date teaches that almost always it is better to devote our energies to adapting to change rather than trying to stop change, which makes all of this "SAVE THE PLANET!" rhetoric likely to be the rantings of fools, but we can certainly debate the point.

Because you live in a world where almost no one claims that it is best to be a generalist you blow off the assertion, but I am here to tell you that generalists are every bit as important as are the specialists. The fact that we are off kilter, that the specialists have long had free rein, almost completely explains why humanity is such a mess as it is today.

You and I have had this argument before.

You are still wrong.

I am still right.

No. I don't trust science being fed to me by politicians and talk show hosts with just a HS education. But, if you want to live in the world of ignorance, then by alll means, trust guys like Limbaugh (high school grad) or Drudge (finished 341st out of 355 from his HS class).


It is your choice to choose ignorance, I hope you enjoy it.

 

[iguanaman]

the truly stupid have no idea how their progressive policy increases demand on fossil fuels by playing god with scarcity of resources

How is demand being increased? By raising fuel economy standards or by tax credits for electric cars?

These fuel economy standards are already delivering savings for American drivers. Between model years
2008 and 2013 the unadjusted average test fuel economy of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the
U.S. has increased by about 4 mpg. Altogether, light-duty vehicle fuel economy standards finalized after
2008 have already saved nearly a billion gallons of fuel and avoided more than 10 million tons of carbon
dioxide emissions.

Is it the dropping out that is a problem or is it that he is a drug addict?
