Wow...he kicks butt. I never thought of it in that way.
Brilliant analysis... absolutely brilliant!
Excellent article. I had not thought of it before, but global warming plays right into the world-view of those who believe we are overpopulating. Of course, the ones primarily responsible for overpopulation aren't going to be deterred. In contrast, white people increasingly seem to want to wish themselves out of existence.
Liberals believe that somebody else should pay taxes to support their ideological agendas.
And they also believe that somebody else should die, preferably in some poor, third-world nation, to support the personal lifestyles to which they are accustomed.
Many...but not all. Very large numbers of lefties work very hard at productive and difficult jobs, raise decent families, and participate with intelligence and understanding in communal life.
Meanwhile, many on the Right refuse to recognize that traditional culture sucks, that it's brought us intolerance and war and death for centuries...and dysfuncional individuals and families galore (as well as pederast priests and other sickos).
"Brilliant analysis...absolutely brilliant!" Did you forget to add /s?? I'm sure you are being sarcastic. The article does nothing to enlighten us as to pro/con of GW debate, it merely gives a Catholic writer a chance to vent at abortion supporters. One could use tactics like these to slam most anybody for any position they may have that is opposite of writers.
Great column.
Didn't you read the title? (Or the article for that matter.)
The author was comparing the Hedonistic Left with their new religion; Global Warming & Environmentalism.
The Author hit a grand slam out of the park! He nailed it right on the money.
Either that, or take a reading comprehension course, it would surely help.
He's saying what Dylan said in "You Gotta Serve Somebody".
The left has replaced one religion with another. It's always been this way, like when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai and saw the idol worship etc. etc.
Excellent article and that question alone should be the only response to anything the Lefties say. They have discredited themselves so many times!
and I notice the Token Lefty on this thread has already begun the "Lefties=Good, Righties=Bad" spiel. Do you really think FReepers are interested in hearing that set up again? Its just more of the same passive-aggressive twaddle that Lefties have always used because they can't come up with a better refutation. Sheesh! Come back when you have something NEW to say.
Oh, I don't think so. The author paints with too broad a brush and allows his bias to blind him to faults in his own ideology. Beams and motes, you know.
Specifically, the debate over global warming has a real scientific basis - regardless of the political clap-trap surrounding it - as real as the debate surrounding quantum mechanics (with no Einstein arguing the negative).
Also, I've been a token Lefty on this forum for a long time...which means I serve some useful purpose or am simply a useful idiot, a clown. Take your choice.
You are an honest liberal, and some of us appreciate that. Even if we turn around and seek to whump your butt around as a result of such. :^)
By the way, I got kicked off TPM cafe for suggesting to M J Rosenberg that he was willing to wear a yellow star in his search for peace at any price. :) It was worth it...but I do miss the confrontation. You ought to visit the site. It's quite full of pretentious, self-important masturbators.
Looks like the Hedonistic Left are practicing what Communist dictators have perfected: Telling the masses to do one thing while they do something different.
Unfortunatetly, ever since Rudy became a force in 2008 GOP presidential politics, we've had more than our fair share of such on FR. So although I do appreciate the heads up, I'll pass. No need to go elsewhere for what we already have too much of here.
It does, and the debate goes something like this :
Leftists Who Hate Human Beings : "ONooOooz!!-western civilization SSSUXZand should give us all their money and live in sewage and tinboxes while we travel in private jets and wear little ribbons and they make us do this by being industrious and successful in technology and OOOO NOoooOOz they are destroying our own private Petit Trianons! Kill them all!"
Those who abhor tyranny/socialism/communism/despotism AKA "The Right" : It is a wise thing to conserve our resources (hence CONSERVATIVISM) and nature has BENEFITED from our God-given intelligence and abilities to utilize resources and make a cleaner, brighter, successful future for people who want to leave behind the tin boxes and raw sewage in the streets.
See...I can play the word game too!
Works for me! :-)
