Barone: Public cools to global warming alarmism

I agree completely with Mr. Barone.

Now we must discover a way to prevent the EPA, in the name of preventing global warming, from regulating us into a third world country.

That particular discourse about the Crusades is not the usual perspective. It was aimed at dispelling some of the illusions concerning that effort.

The book is an excellent history of “mass delusions” of the Public.

They are targeting our internet, and how to control it.

The huge recycling truck that comes by every week consumes more energy than the recycling it picks up saves. We waste hundreds of billions of dollars on that delusion.

Maybe you should read a little about the crusades before expressing firm opinions about them. It is true that most were in response to the arab (Moslem) conquest of the holy lands from the totally corrupt Byzantium Empire; but there was a lot more than that involved, namely, European mediaeval politics.

From Wikipedia:

The long-standing view of the Children's Crusade, of which there are many variations, is some version of events with similar themes.
A boy began preaching in either France or Germany claiming that he had been visited by Jesus and told to lead a Crusade to peacefully convert Muslims to Christianity. Through a series of supposed portents and miracles he gained a considerable following, including possibly as many as 30,000 children. He led his followers south towards the Mediterranean Sea, in the belief that the sea would part on their arrival, allowing him and his followers to march to Jerusalem, but this did not happen. Two merchants gave "free" passage on boats to as many of the children as were willing. They were then either taken to Tunisia and sold into slavery, or died in a shipwreck on San Pietro Island off Sardinia during a gale. Some may have failed to reach the sea, dying or giving up from starvation and exhaustion.

The Fourth Crusade (1202–1204) resulted in the sack of the Christian (Eastern Orthodox) capital city of Constantinople by the crusaders (with perhaps some justification) and greatly weakened the Christians later prospects of reconquest of the holy land.

Maybe I don't give a tinkers dam about Wikipedia. Since you seem to know so much and have condensed it down to a couple of uninteresting paragraphs, I don't need to read any farther. The dictionary's give a short and concise definition of the Crusades without the propaganda..Boring subject and check out what a large dictionary states about the Crusades..

The politics of hundred's of years ago has been written and rewritten according to who's ox is being gored and who is the victor at any specific time. It changes with the next war fought and by those victors....

I like reading Louis L'amore and Rex Stout, I won't tell you what to read and do me the courtsey of not telling me to read something just because you find it interesting...

You have your opinion and I have mine. I don't find your opinion any more truthful than mine.
