The new Inquisition Thomas Sowell zings lawmakers looking to intimidate 'non-consensus' scienti

How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things?

Meanwhile, attempts to shut down people whose free speech interferes with other people’s political agendas go on, with remarkably little notice, much less outrage. The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting the tax-exempt status of conservative groups is just one of these attempts to fight political battles by shutting up the opposition, rather than answering them.

Another insidious attempt to silence voices that dissent from current politically correct crusades is targeting scientists who do not agree with the “global warming” scenario.

Only these jokers are serious about shutting you/us up. Permanently if need be.

All the Global Warmists are fronts for Big Solar and Big Wind, with the One Worlders also having major input.

So let’s have an Inquisition into that.

And, therein lies the problem. Too many folks valuing “free stuff” over actual freedom. Sad dang circumstance.

You can’t “deny” global warming.
And you can’t “disapprove” of gay “marriage”.

Silly concept. After all, they’re trying to help us and help the erf at the same time. Right?

There’s a difference in the definition of “freedom” between the left and the right.

The conservative view of freedom is “freedom to XYZ”.
The leftist view of freedom is “freedom from responsibility”.

We had a light dusting of glow bull discombobulation overnight. Enough to leave traces all over the yard.

Actually, the motivations are almost entirely selfish at their core.

They want to feel good about themselves as “good people” for WANTING to “help us and save the erf”.

(BTW, I’m glad to see someone else picking of on “save the erf” - my little way of deriding the selfish enviros)

LOL! Oh, I’ve been into saving the erf for a long time. Only difference is I want to help save us from another glaciation period. Reminds me, I gotta go crank up the Hemi and leave it running for an hour or so. If it costs me a little more in gas, it’s worth it to help save the erf. Don’t forget, erf daze is coming up next week so prep now to leave your lights on all day. I may lower the tire pressure on the truck to help reduce the mpg for the day. To help deride the warmunists, simply point out the lie about their prius or leaf or even tesla as being ZEErow emissions. Uh, production, transportation, source of power. Hope they “feel” real good about themselves.

Nobody expects the Kyoto Inquisition!

“You do NOT have the right to free scientific inquiry. Only the High Holy popes, cardinals and Monsignors of the Socialist/Gaia court are allowed to determine what is science and what is not.

We are the vicars of ALgore on the Earth”
So it is written, so it shall be done.

Dang it. I never knew that leprechuans were the issue with ingrown toe nails. I was always led to believe it was garden gnomes.
