Ahnold has read the writing on the wall. Obama’s election, and much that has gone on before this, demonstrates that facts are the least important element of political rhetoric. It is intentions and high-flown vague speeches that garner votes now. Facts, like truth these days, has become relative to most of the sheeple.

A lot of this goes back, I think, to the notion that mankind is on an upward trajectory of evolutionary perfection (so long as the conservative neanderthals can be controlled). Instead of the Christian notion of fallen man, too many now believe the right policies, the right techniques, the right attitudes alone will assure we regain the Garden of Eden. Darwin’s progeny have done us no favor by pushing this dangerous philosophy on our children and foreclosing all debate on the matter. We have seen this clearly demonstrated in the Messianic language applied to Obama.

Conservatives (whether religious or not) know that intentions, attitudes and techniques have very limited effectiveness if they fly in the face of human nature which is naturally selfish and competitive. This is why they favor limited government, because government powers would be concentrated in the hands of relatively few people, some of whom may actually be decent rulers, but most will be selfish and competitive as is their wont, to the loss of all.

Until we reignite this debate of mankind and its potentials, we will have to right these factual ruses to concentrate power in those “anointed” to lead us back into the Garden.

I don’t know why these idiots persist in perpetuating the charade of global warming. They just keep the lie going in face of all the facts that refute the idea of man made global warming. We are going to destroy the planet alright but not from greenhouse gases, from all the meddling politicians want to do with climate engineering. Arrrrnold should keep his mind on this state, stop benefits to illegals, cut spending and taxes, repeal the mandatory spending hikes or whatever they are called. Not our boy, he just keeps getting dumber as time goes by.

A good bumper sticker “YOUR VEGETABLES NEED CO2” for all the vegans pushing this crazy crap.

LOL! Our #2 son is a vegan, but hasn't bought the AGW line, because he's a smart young man, and a reasonable person. SirKit has a book for him to read, when he's home from college for Christmas, called "The Chilling Stars", describing the historic warming and cooling of the Earth, that has NOTHING to do with anything humans have done or will do.
