Interesting. I think of Warmers as Flat-earthers.

The more we know, the more we know the GW scare was baloney, but they simply refuse to look at the evidence.

The “Global warming deniers” have science on THEIR side.
You’ve been setting new records for posting your drivel.
When can we expect your opus?

Good gravy, this reads like some kind of Olbermann stream of consciousness spew.

“The opinion of the earth’s motion is of all heresies the most abominable, the most pernicious, the most scandalous; the immovability of the earth is thrice sacred; argument against the immortality of the soul, the existence of God, and the incarnation, should be tolerated sooner than an argument to prove that the earth moves.”
- Father Melchior Inchofer, responding to Galileo

“It’s a principle in physics. It’s like gravity. It exists.”
- Al Gore

There is always power and control in the hands of the authorities of belief systems, whether religious or political, economic or even philosophical.

I read and thought Yes! The global warming power grap in Copenhagen. Then, I kept reading and the guy completely disappoints.

Dorworth, you are a Dick!

The earth isn’t flat, therefore Anthropogenic Global Warming deniers are wrong?

The earth isn’t flat, therefore Obama isn’t a Muslim?

The earth isn’t flat, therefore Obama was born in Hawaii?

This article marks a new low: especially considering it’s from a writer who all-too-obviously thinks he’s got that logic stuff cold.

“...not with trying to squeeze reality into the tiny, narrow, inflexible, dark confines of a (NATURAL) belief system predicated on faith...” Otherwise known as evolution...

I think the web of lies construed by by convoluting science into faith also applies to the warming scam. They are the flat-earthers, convinced of a lie because they want it to be so.

Naw, this just proves the old proverb that opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one. The internet just allows the occasional loudmouth on a barstool to blather to a larger audience.

Thing is, if he made valid points it would be great, but he doesn’t. The whole post is basically comparing those he disagrees with to flat earthers. You can do that in one or two sentences and make the same point with just as much support.

I just laughed when I read it.

“—Global warming deniers: Led by head political cheerleader Sen. James Mountain Inhofe of Oklahoma, who regularly quotes the Bible to justify his political decisions, deniers are like creationists in that they confuse and/or conflate science with their beliefs, in this case economic beliefs.
—The Obama birthers: This conservative movement continues to maintain that Barack Obama is ineligible to be president of the United States because he wasn’t born in the United States, despite the fact and the documentation that he was. The Earth has always been round and Obama was always born in Hawaii.

—Obama-as-Muslim believers: This group is almost indistinguishable from the birthers and like them and the flat-Earthers ignores the evidence. The Earth has never been flat and Obama has never been a Muslim. (A pertinent aside: It is neither dishonorable nor dangerous to America to be a Muslim.) If it weren’t for the dangerous ugliness of the racism and fear of Islam that fuels these two groups, their deceits would be a joke. But, though their flat-Earth thinking is laughable, they are not. “

What?

Are you equating people who believe the earth is flat with people who believe or strongly question if Obama was born in Hawaii and NOT Kenya?

Tell me I missed something

I thought this link showed that Obama admitted being Mulim:

Or am I wrong on that?

Yep, how about those that still think the stimulus created private sector jobs?

Exactly.

The use of a simple syllogism would annihilate this nonsensical article.

But, alas, logic is the first casualty of the degenerative disease known as “liberalism.”
