There’s a wonderful blog site by Dr. John Ray on global warming here:
http://antigreen.blogspot.com/2008/11/physicist-predicts-man-made-global.html
which has some quotes which fit right into this discussion. Here’s just a couple:
“Motives: Many people would like to be kind to others so Leftists exploit that with their nonsense about equality. Most people want a clean, green environment so Greenies exploit that by inventing all sorts of far-fetched threats to the environment. But for both, the real motive is generally to promote themselves as wiser and better than everyone else, truth regardless.”
“”The desire to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it” — H L Mencken”
“Time was, people warning the world “Repent - the end is nigh!” were snickered at as fruitcakes. Now they own the media and run the schools.”
I particularly like this last one. The site is well worth visiting.
The desire to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it......................
“Liberalism was “chosen” by many, because they believed it would cloak their aversion to commitment and responsibility to others nearby. Hiding behind their newly found “philosophy”, they could now seek personal adventures only, to find life’s rewards.
The took the wrong road.
Also: “How many of us have observed that there are those who attempt to disguise their shortcomings in life by trying to create the opposite impression in others, through rhetoric instead of actual deeds?
Think of this the next time you entertain the claims of those who are always somewhere else.”
Also: “The phrase “do your own thing, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone” did not disappear after the sixties. It took up residence and prospered in the “new culture”.
And the harm and misery that was heaped on others along the way——is beyond measure!”
Also: “How many of us have noticed many of those of the liberal persuasion demonstrate lightning speed when asked to attend a “humanity saving” event, yet display painful slowness when asked to the simplest of chores, such as fetching bread and milk at the local market?
And what might we learn from this?”
Lastly: “We can only speculate as to how many daddies of the fifties generation and beyond, would ever dream that they would become the psychological whipping posts for the nation-destroying fools of today.
And all because they simply did what they thought was right.”
