Liberals discovering yet more illegitimate claims on the government in the ‘penumbras’ of the constitution.

Interestingly, these very same individuals deny the true and fundamental meaning of the Second Amendment as written in plain language.

Constitutional perversion at it’s finest!

A warmer climate is in fact a healthier climate, Mr. Hansen.

Warm periods in the Earth's history (Holocene Climate Optimum, Roman Climate Optimum, Medieval Climate Optimum, etc.) aren't so labeled for no reason at all.

But I guess that would be belaboring the obvious for a "rocket scientist" such as yourself, eh, Mr. Hansen?

Charlatans like Hansen will say anything to protect their global warming-fueled gravy train. It is easy to see that as their primary motivation by noting that there is apparently no level of absurdity to which they will not sink in their flailing attempts to preserve their scam. Were they simply dispassionate scientists, as they claim, they would not be resorting to ridiculous extremes of politics and propaganda. Were they scientists, they might be embarrassed to spout the type of nonsense that routinely flows from the likes of Hansen, et al.

Yet Hansen has no shame because he is not pursuing science at all but rather a "whatever it takes" defense of his own selfish interests. In response, we should borrow a page from the left's playbook and begin referring to the climate scam as "Big Climate", and those like Hansen as tools of Big Climate. That would put a PR focus on what many already know, which is that there is a huge entrenched industry now that depends for their livelihoods on "climate change" being real and human-caused. That is the very definition of a conflict of interest, and any person with two brain cells should realize that no objective science can result from it.

A warmer climate is a healthier climate. I fear a return to cold and an ice age.

To liberals, the Constitution guarantees individual rights unless those in the 'elite priesthood' identify an issue which supersedes any claim to those individual rights. Unfortunately, there is no end to these more pressing issues. The environment, economic justice, animal rights, racial inequality, women's rights, the gay agenda...it goes on and on. And only they get to decide what issues apply.

“establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

Justice means the Climate Change Scam should be ignored.

Tranquility would be the end of the Globull Warmerists spewing their Government Supremacy nonsense.

Defense-We should let ACTUAL Scientists defend us against the liars.

Welfare- Everyone will be on welfare if the Disruptification Grifters get their way.

Sheldon “Prime Dictator Number One” Whitehouse wants to steal our blessings of liberty by robbing us of our Free Speech.

Our posterity will live in poverty if people continue to listen to the nonsensical ravings of Bill Nye the Anti-Science Guy, Al “Sour Grapes” Gore, and Zero IQ celebritards like Matt Damon and their ilk.

Charles Manson rambles more intellegently than James E. Hansen even when he's on the front porch eating Froot Loops.

“A ribba zib, Razzle farazzle frap. Hockey stick, zibba fammitz, parts per million, zammple, hottest year in decades, zammbitle, zeep, bip dap dittum wattum choo, reeba zim, Co2, hotttest year EVER”

...I forget which one to attribute the quote to.

Obviously the climate is not the issue. The Constitution is the issue. What that has to do with science is beyond me.

“establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.”

So, do you think those millions of aborted babies were denied these constitutional points? Or do they not get a vote in the matter? Not much “tranquility” or “blessings of liberty” getting your your body shredded, is there.

Dear Lord, please stop people like Hansen! What a load of garbage!

Hint: if other people have to pay for it, the thing in question CANNOT be a right!
