Over the last few weeks yard signs have been cropping up like crocuses in my very liberal north Seattle neighborhood. The one I am talking about spouts every liberal catchphrase you can imagine. It is almost like Moses coming down from Mount Sinai and scattering his Commandments among the Deplorables. Here is a photo I snapped with my $100 smartphone.
But really, this yard sign is a Testament of Lies. Everything on the sign is a lie; it is a list of bullying lies, non-negotiable demands that liberals want to ram down your throat.
But the one that struck me was the sans-serif extra-bold condensed SCIENCE IS REALNo it’s not, liberals, and it just shows how little you know of science that you would think that.
The last chap that thought science was real was Thomas Aquinas. Ever since, we Westerners have been in a complete dither about the real meaning of life, the universe, and everything, and especially reality. First there was Descartes who, like a true Frenchman, could doubt everything except himself: I think therefore I am.
Things went from bad to worse so that when David Hume came along his contribution to the confusion was that we cannot prove cause and effect. So how is science possible?
Enter dear old Kant, who solved the riddle with a cunning trick. We don’t know things-in-themselves, he decided; we only know appearances. Our knowledge, our science, is therefore not real, but a theory about things-in-themselves. And may the best theory win.
This seems pretty lame, but it is not. In my view, it leads straight to Einstein, relativity, and quantum mechanics. If science isn’t real, then it gives us permission to speculate about reality, and dare to propose that Newton’s absolute space and time aren’t real.

Here’s a thought: If kindness is everything, go to Syria, set up a bunch of chairs, and give a sermon on that subject. Let’s just see how true the term “talking heads” is.
I have been tempted to knock on their door and ask them how glad they would be to have a Trump supporter as their neighbor?
Early to bed, early to rise
Say no to drugs
Brush your teeth after every meal
Don’t sass your elders
Time is money
I like Ike
Make America Great Again
I’d just add another sentence:
“Provided that you’re here legally, clean up after your dog, and stay on your side of the big beautiful wall I am going to put up”.
My neighbor across the street put one of those signs in their window.
Liberals don't live in the real world. They live in their fantasy utopias that are always unattainable.
But it is always important to liberals to tell everyone who they think they are, like putting this sign up in their yards. This is also why when you see a car covered in bumper sticker sayings, you can guarantee it is driven by a liberal.
The author needs to put this sign up in his yard:
Yep, basically says we believe we are socially pure and you are a bigot.
It is
fool’s gold
There is absolutely no coherent heart behind lists of
slogans like this
All “man behind the curtains” mindset
Science is man's effort to analyze, categorize and understand the Universe
Science cannot make any statements about
1. How the Universe came to be
2. If the Universe is not self existent, What made it
3. Doe the Universe have a purpose
These are the Realms of Metaphysics
Your statement, which I have great sympathy for,
cannot be directly paired with Science, per se'
Science however acts as a very strong indicator
that the Creator (If Present) is Lawful, Ordered, and Purposeful
I noticed that too, the bumper stickers. Indeed, point a sign “idiot lives there, easy to rob”
Their fantasy world
is a reflection of their fantasy view of themselves. Liberals are essentially Make Up Artists.With make up she can pretend what she is not , but more importantly she starts thinking of the world as a fantasy, like an iphone with apps solving her problems
without knowing at all how it was programmed. “Men” are just meant
to be
usedul things, not anything to know about.
That's easy.
Any one of the 60% of human beans who are clinically insane.
I don't have to take them seriously, though.
I keep hoping that real science can figure out how we manage to keep breeding an increasing number of them.
Science is never suicidal.
Watch this space for my daily Virtue Signal
Gener is a quality of words.
That some insist on applying it to people is prima facie proof of insanity. That inane academics love to misapply it is simply confirmation.
The difference between belief and faith.
Perfect.
Better to ask “How many sexes are there?”
sigh...only got six posts in before the inevitable ‘sex not gender’ admonition...
just when I thought you guys were getting better about distinctions without differences...
Followed most recently by the (late) driver (RIP) who was thoughtless enough to own a stick shift vehicle that a two legged animal was planning to hijack.
Being in a family web site, I need not elaborate...
It’s called “virtue signaling”. My favorite example is those idiotic “coexist” bumper stickers.
Basically, virtue signaling announces that “I am a good person because I care and I have feelings. Unlike you. You are a selfish bad person because you don’t care the way I do.”
Virtue signalers don’t want to do anything to fix the problems they point at. (Except maybe vote to make you pay for it.) They just want to feel good about themselves and they want to feel superior to you.
No COEXIST??
Heretics! Flay them alive!
