Our Superstitious President
pjmedia.com ^ | 12/13/2015 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/14/2015 8:24:44 AM PST by rktman

President Obama talks a lot about the scientific method. On climate change, he has often invoked the idea of a great divide between those on the progressive left, such as himself, who believe in "settled science" and thus a looming man-caused climatological disaster, and those, presumably on the Neanderthal Right, who are slaves to superstition, ideology, prejudice, and self-interest-and thus deny that the planet is rapidly warming due to inordinate human-induced releases of excessive carbon.

Obama's view of science is reductionist. It relies on count-em-up numbers: if more university professors (not known to be an especially independent or courageous cohort) believe in dangerous man-caused climate change than doubt it or its seriousness, and if climate change fits a larger progressive agenda, then it becomes factual.

It’s just wealth distribution on a grand scale.

All those 3rd world countries suffering because of the great evil America so we have to pay the world.

Yeah, that's me, a real knuckle-dragger. I'm near Rochester NY, and a year ago we had a foot of snow on the ground and bitter cold. It got worse ... a lot worse.
Today it's 65 degrees and I'm looking at green grass. If this is climate change, I'll ALL for it!

You do realize that this means by next year, this time, it will be 130 degrees.

Already suffered that in 'Nam. This time I'll have a pool, central air and a few cold ones to get me through.

The monkey god and shape-shifter:

And do not forget that Obama wears a ring of coiled snakes indicating that he is a devotee of the Apep the Egyptian snake god.

No wonder he never mentions Jesus Christ.

FALSANI:

Who’s Jesus to you?

(He laughs nervously)

OBAMA:

Right.

Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.

And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
