People can be very smart, and make idiotic choices, when they hold false assumptions about how the universe works.
Liberals start with false assumptions about how the universe works.
There are as many democrats who are not idiots as there are planets with intelligent life in our galaxy.
Agreed.
The issue with many liberal stances (and Man-caused global warming is one of them) is that they accept fundamentally flawed premises on which to base them, and never look back.
I have fallen victim to it myself, and the best example of that for me is the demonization of Senator Joseph McCarthy. I unthinkingly accepted the liberal version of his life, because every news article, teacher, professor, media scribe said it was so.
It was all a colossal lie.
Same with AGW (man-caused global warming). The entire premise liberals use to base it on is the mirroring of the graphs over thousands of years that purport to show CO2 levels rising followed by rising global temperatures. (Famously displayed by Al Gore in his “Inconvenient Truth” hoax.)
In actuality, the temperature rises following natural variations, causing ocean temperatures to rise resulting in outgassing of CO2. (It takes hundreds of years for ocean temperatures to rise, causing the lag)
This is also another reason to despise Google, as it has religiously scrubbed and manipulated this analysis so it does not show up easily in their searches. They have done this with nearly all aspects of man-caused global warming, so when people search, all they see is Al Gore’s version.
That's OK as long as they are making the "idiotic choices" for themselves. They're not. They're making them for us.
