Just in time for Independence Day, the Left is coming for our barbecue grills
Houston Politics Examiner ^ | July 4, 2015 | Mark R. Whittington

Posted on 07/04/2015 6:08:03 AM PDT by Marcus

On this Independence Day, one of the sadder aspects of American life we have to consider is the tendency of some Americans to wag their fingers at others about the way they choose to live, sometimes with disastrous results. The temperance movement of the 19th Century led to Prohibition which led to Al Capone, for example. Now someone writing in the New Republic on Friday wants to take away our right to barbecue.

and just for the record- the ‘man-caused climate change’ LIARS made the statement that if there was a 15 year hiatus in warming or cooling, then it would invalidate all their dire predictions- THEY made this claim- and now we’ve had a hiatus for nearly 20 years, and they are now furiously DENYING that there has been a hiatus- seems like THEY are the deniers, NOT us- We admit there has been warming, we admit there has always been warming- we also admit there has been cooling- that’s what happens in a NATURAL CYCLICAL WARMING/COOLING world- it gets hotter then colder- always has, always will- NOONE denies that that happens- Yet these ‘man-caused global climate change LIARS DENY that there has been no warming in 20 years because it ‘invalidates’ their alarmist predictions

The red coals are coming! The red coals are coming!

With comments like that, I'd bet you prefer white coals over black coal! /s.

it’s funny you should say that because they use that scenario to ‘prove’ theirp oint (but they claim we are adding more water to the full to capacity glass-

Yet the atmosphere is NOT ‘full to capacity’ with CO2- we are nowhere near the ‘overflow’ scenario they falsely claim we are- they make it appear as though the atmosphere has al lthe CO2 it can handle, and what we produce pushes it over the edge- NONSENSE

Furthermore, the amount of CO2 that we produce is akin to standing in an enclosed football stadium, lighting a match, immediately blowing it out, and claiming that that match, lit once a year, for 100’s of years, will cause the climate to change within that stadium-

We do NOT produce even a tiny fraction of the CO2 needed to change climates, nor does the atmosphere contain even a tiny fraction of what would be needed

We produce so little CO2 that It would be like taking a leak In the ocean (or a number of people taking a leak, until the volume of urine equaled 0.00137% of the oceans’ volume) and claiming it is causing global flooding

As the ralph character on the simpsons said “That’s unpossible”

I will defend to the death your right to post your tired global warming “lesson”.

That said, I’d like to encourage you to come up with something new.

Those of us who care about the science of global warming understood the role of the sun long before your first post of your “lesson” and have moved on to form a more complete view of the global warming fallacies.

They hate it when there’s an area of life that they don’t control.

I think they are as offended by the steak as the fire on the grill, and most offended by the American flag.

Well, I’m old enough to come from the old school. When we were proud of our country and realized how well off we were.

He has his standard post that the sun is big and humans are mere specks explanation. Fine with me. As good as any.

But I always post this version: "The issue with the Left is never about the issue [climate change]. The issue is always about the [socialist] revolution." The Left uses global warming or climate change or whatever incantation they are calling it this week, to distract the masses from their real agenda and that is to get rid of capitalism and replace it with their preferred loser system, socialism.

None of this global warming or climate change crap is about the weather, environment, saving the planet or the temperature 100 years from now. It is about the Left duping the rest of us into believing that fossil fuels are causing the earth to warm up and fossil fuels are used by capitalists to run their industries. So let's all get rid of capitalism and go to a socialist system with "sustainable, green" fuels so we can stick it to the masses and empower the liberal elites.

And I always post these two graphics:

We think alike!

BBQ AMENDMENT II

A WELL REGULATED MEAL,
BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A STOMACH,
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR BBQ’S,
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
