Just in case you thought it was suddenly safe to use your brain for anything more complicated than blocking the wind from blowing through your ears, along comes Bill Nye the Science Guy (with his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering), sage and oracle, calling for prison time for those whose “extreme doubt” of Global Warming/Climate Change is “affecting my quality of life as a public citizen” ( http://www.newsmax.com/US/bill-nye-climate-change-jail/2016/04/14/id/724050/ ).
Nye joins fellow fat-head Robt. Kennedy Jr. in proposing jail time as the appropriate response to skepticism vis-a-vis “Climate Change.” Hey, hey, gotta Save the Planet, no halfway measures will do! And our fascist Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, and a number of Democrat (of course) U.S. Senators. “Yo, watch us win an argument! We’ll just throw the other side in jail!”
Remember when there used to be this thing called “reason,” and these other things called “facts,” which were supposed to be used to persuade people that this or that was right or wrong, true or false? Well, they don’t need that stuff anymore. Taking a leaf from “President” Obama’s book, they have turned to communism to “just use what works”–in this case, brute force ruthlessly applied by persons with no more morals than a bucket of mud.
Don’t forget–most of these are the same chowderheads who are always howling about there already being too many people in jail for actual criminal offenses.
Oh, well–spring the rapists, armed robbers, women-beaters, and the rest of ’em, and you’ll have plenty of prison space for Climate Change Deniers. With room left over for those who refuse to celebrate Gay Marriage.
May God cut off this evil suddenly.
Well, can’t say I’m surprised by this idiocy. (Evil) God will cut them off, suddenly and without further warning. We just have to hold on to our own sanity and wait.
Amen! My thoughts exactly, Erlene.
I’ve often said when Texas breaks away from the US, I’m going to Texas! Looks like that day is coming sooner than I expected.
How wonderful we survived Obama who would declare Climate Change the greatest threat to the United States, and then go down to Florida and claim the ocean is rising, and the jet off to Alaska and claim the glacier is shrinking. Our current President knows this is all a bunch of hogwash.
It’s amazing to me that these people could fail to realize the risks of such government power. Apparently some of these people have advanced degrees, but couldn’t pass an 8th grade history test.
They think they’re gonna be the ones to own that power.
Maybe they’ve never heard of Nuremberg.
We are talking about people who know, like, zero history. It would be a waste of time to warn them to remember what happened to Zinoviev and Kamenev when Uncle Joe didn’t need them anymore.
It brings to mind Jesus’ words about people of taking note of the conditions at the time of the Second Coming, but going about their business as if everything were normal. These people are so blithely unaware of anything beyond their narrow worldview that they can’t imagine any consequences beyond the superficial effect of being PC in all their viewpoints. They don’t seem to understand that the balance of power could shift dramatically and that the very people whose they impowered might turn against them.
