Help me combat my leftist teacher (vanity)
myself
Posted on 09/09/2003 3:36:44 PM PDT by sdk7x7
Hi all, I'm taking Environmental Science and, naturally, the teacher is a strong leftist. Today she told us that "President Bush didn't attend the Johannesburg Summit [on global environmental issues] and sent Colin Powell instead. These are things you should consider when you vote."
I'm looking for articles or op-eds that rationalize Bush's non-attendance or reveal some of the anti-Americanism that was present at the meeting.
Thank you in advance for all info. -sdk

He might have been a little busy with something called 9/11.

Put on a tinfoil hat in class. That should get some laughs.

Bush is a busy man. The silly environmentalist conference spouting junk science about idiotic subjects like global warming and the mythical ozone hole is certainly not a priority. That, and it was held in South Africa one of the most racist, Marzists nations you can find on the planet. Bush was right not to go. In fact, he shouldn't have even sent Powell.

Tell her that "Environmental Science" is an oxymoron.
Also take a look at The Greening Earth Society and in particular the World Climate Report Online.
Ask her to prove:
1. That the "ozone hole" is a recent phenomenon.
2. That the "ozone hole" is a result of human activity.
3. That the "ozone hole" harms anyone but penguins.
Ask her why Dr. Dobson--inventor of the instrument that measures ozone levels--obtained some of the lowest ozone readings in ~1958, well BEFORE appreciable amounts of CFCs could have entered the stratosphere.
As to "global warming":
From 1/3 to 2/3 of the "observed" warming has been shown to be attributable to slow increase of the so-called "Solar Constant" (which is not constant at all).
Ask why Triton, Neptune's moon, which is 1.7 billion miles from the Sun, has experienced a 10-degree "warming" over the last decade or so? Is it all that Tritonian smog?

IIRC... Dean, Gephardt, Kerry, Edwards, Mosely-Braun, Lieberman, Kucinich, Sharpton, Graham, Clinton, Gore, and Clark didn't attend, either.

These are things you should consider when you vote." Absolutely! I would consider them strongly. And then I'd vote for Bush BECAUSE he shunned that leftist circle-jerk and tended to more important business.

Change majors, fast. You're going to end up waiting tables with that degree.
Even not going to school would be a better choice - no student loans to pay back later
I know because I have one of those worthless degress.

Colin Powell is the Secretary of State of the United States of America. Sending that caliber of individual to such a useless endeavor is an honor, not a slight.

Post #4 has all the ammo you need to execute a great slap down.

Johannesburg Summit didn't rate Colin Powell going. A mid-level State Department weenie would have been plenty. All it was was a 'Hate America' festival and group pickpocket event.

One more interesting thing:
Access to Energy is an excellent resource. If you can find back issues (the ones edited by the late Dr. Petr Beckmann) you will find a treasure trove of brilliant material that ought to drive her nutz.
Also I recommend reading Ayn Rand's excellent book: The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution. Written in the 1970's, every word rings true today--and punches a neat hole in the sternum of eco-maniacs.

If you know her email address, sign her up for the
Junk Science Email List for fun. Buy her a years subscription to the Limbaugh Letter. I did that to a lefty once. They said they'd do nothing but throw them away. I told her that that was fine, and asked them if they realized how many Republican mailing lists they were gonna be on.
You gotta have some fun with these people.

It is also interesting to note that the President chose to send, to Afica, the highest ranking African American. Seems to me to be a sign of respect.....

"President Bush didn't attend the Johannesburg Summit [on global environmental issues] and sent Colin Powell instead. These are things you should consider when you vote." I do consider these things, and will vote for Bush on that basis. He has more important things to do than drive the economy into the ground based on shoddy "science."
I will also fight for school choice so I'm not forced to be subjected to irrational diatribes by people like you, ma'am.

He sends Colin Powell and all they do is bitch. He should've sent James Watt.

They handle mace pretty well. Must be all those riots they start. Now TRUTH, on the other hand...
