Eco-Nazi Wants to Jail Global Warming Skeptics REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m not qualified to analyze anyone’s computer models. But I do think I understand how various kinds of people behave.

At yet another of our revered institutes of higher learning, yet another sage of a college professor calls for the jailing of anyone who denies “Climate Change” or whatever else they’re calling it this week ( http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/michaelschaus/2014/03/16/professor-wants-climate-change-deniers-thrown-in-jail-n1809711 ). This jidrool, by the way, is a professor of philosophy, not science. I won’t mention his name; let someone else give him his 15 minutes of infamy.

America’s universities have become notorious for their intolerance of free speech, let alone dissent. But what’s really at issue here is this:

Honest men do not demand prison for anyone who disagrees with them. Honest men do not jabber, “The science is settled! The debate is closed!” when they’ve been at pains to prevent any debate from ever taking place, and refuse to discuss the issue in public. Honest men do not natter on about carbon footprints and then ride around in stretch limos and private jets.

Ask any policeman what he thinks when someone sees him coming and immediately turns and runs away.

You can tell a lot about people by the way they behave. And the Global Warming mullahs do not behave like honest men.

Could Democrats really destroy Mount Rushmore? - Quora

Mount Blushmore, for Democrat non-presidents

It occurs to me now that we could actually create a monument to these three villains who never got to be president. We could call it Mount Blushmore. They could add Pocahontas Warren to make a fourth.

Non-Presidents’ Day

Gore, Kerry, and Hillary Clinton–how lucky can you get, to have had none of those in office? We staggered through eight years of Obama. Now all we have to do is somehow survive Biden.

A revival has started. God is giving us a chance for national repentance and reform. Let’s not waste it.

Cause of Death: Politics REPRINT

Thou shalt not covet…right? Like, it’s one of the Ten Commandments, you really shouldn’t break it. But how about teaching and urging people to covet? Is that a sin, too?

In a word, yes.

It has become impossible to distinguish between the rhetoric of the Communist Party of Albania in the 1960s and New Jersey Democrat rhetoric today. Now that they have the skill to target their advertising, political campaign ads for these rats pop up all over the Internet.

I have never before, in all my life, seen such a coordinated campaign involving so many candidates, all with the same message: class warfare.

“Vote for Peter Covet because he believes your tax money should go to fund education, not CEOs’ retirement packages. Vote for Mary Envy because she’d pass a law that the minimum wage has to go up every year, no matter what. Vote for Jack Thief because he won’t let corporate CEOs cut veterans’ benefits.”

My liberal family member digs this message. He thinks anyone who has more money than he does is a criminal who must be punished. To say nothing of the poor schlemiels who think “funding education” means anything but higher salaries and more lavish benefits for teachers and administrators.

Are Democrats trying to chase business out of New Jersey altogether? “You dirty CEOs! You just wait–we’re gonna get you!” What kind of idiots would business leaders have to be, to just stay here and get raped? But all the statistics show that businesses, as well as affluent individuals and families, are stampeding out of this state.

What are we who remain in this state supposed to do for jobs, once our glorious leaders drive out all the businesses? Where is the money gonna come from, for all those teacher pensions?

Why should you, the reader, care what happens in the benighted state of New Jersey?

Well, it might happen in your state, too. And when it does, you’ll know it. I promise you, you’ll hear your wallet howl.

Is there a state that’s short a governor?

I keep asking myself how long this crazy stuff can go on; and I don’t know the answer.

The March of Lunacy

Why do we have a “transgender” movement? Was there some kind of demand for it? Really? Why do you get kicked out of your job for saying only women can give birth to babies?

Why does the government tell you how many points your high school football team’s allowed to score? Why does the governor of New York insist there were no hurricanes until we came along with our SUVs and created Climate Change?

Who thinks it’s a good idea to keep the crazies in the driver’s seat?

Hubris and Stupidity Plus Greed= Disaster

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Today while I was looking back on some of Lee’s posts, deciding which one to pick, a story caught my eye.  I had never seen this post before.  Somehow it had slipped past.  Lee always read me his posts before he entered them, but this one I missed.

It was about the city of Decatur, Illinois where (as Lee states in his post) the city fathers are storing CO2 under the lake.  This is to “take CO2 out of the atmosphere and lock it away where it can’t do any harm.”

This imbecilic project even has a high falutin’ name  The CO2 Sequestration Project.  Give me strength, Lord.

Where to begin?  This is so incredibly stupid.  The atmosphere?  Of the whole planet?  Are they daft?  Do they have dreams of putting CO2 under the earth all over the world?

This is literally too dumb an idea to even express.

I went down the rabbit hole following this story, but there is more to come.  Talk about fantasies!

I’m sure some green changed hands for this one.

More to come.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody

MORE ON DECATUR

This is going on as we speak, they have been doing it since Lee wrote the first article. A lot of people are having second thoughts, but there’s a lot of gas buried under lake Decatur already.

From January 25, 2018

It wouldn’t surprise me to find others writing up this scenario: it just naturally springs to mind.

Of course, this is just a way-out satire that could never, ever happen in real life…

We keep saying that, and keep finding out we’re wrong.

The Ultimate Political Steel Cage Match

Our Murdered Cities and the Freedom-Eaters REPRINT

From May 1, 2012

“Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana. Let me say it again. Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana. That’s the town that ‘knew me when’…”

Most of us have heard that song. It’s from “The Music Man.” It’s a famous song, and it made the city famous. How many American cities are the subjects of a famous song?

But Gary, Indiana, for all practical purposes, is no more.

There are still some 80,000 people living there, according to the 2010 census—a decrease of almost 17% from the 2000 census. In 1960 Gary had a population of over 178,000; so today’s population figure represents a decrease of about 55%.

To get a better feel for what those numbers mean, you have to see the pictures. You can take an online tour of Gary, Indiana, on the “Forbidden Places” website.

Yes, the pictures tell the story. Schools, hospitals, the Methodist Church; post offices, factories, office buildings, and the Jackson Five Theater—all abandoned, all quietly rotting away. Broken windows, floors covered with debris, and peeling ceilings. Tons and tons of equipment, furniture, and accessories: desks, hospital beds, wheelchairs, file cabinets, electrical fixtures. And outside, mile after mile of empty streets—no cars, no pedestrians. When 80,000 people inhabit a city that once, and not so long ago, housed 178,000, it leaves a lot of unused space. One is reminded of Isaiah’s prophetic vision of the ruins of Babylon:

“It shall never be inhabited… But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.” (Isaiah 13:20-21)

So Now I’m ‘Dangerous’? REPRINT

Image result for images of left-wing students

A Newswithviews.com reader has just informed me that my NWV column this week, on “College–the Brain Masher,” has been tagged by Google with an “ALL RED Dangerous Web Page Warning.” ( http://newswithviews.com/Duigon/lee367.htm )  I don’t see that when I go to the NWV page, so I’d be interested to know whether any of you have seen it. But certainly I have no reason not to believe the reader.

So… I said America’s university system needs to be shrunk, not expanded, and that our colleges indoctrinate their students with left-wing piffle and addle their brains–and that’s supposed to be dangerous? Hey, I went to college and it threw me off the track for more than thirty years: and it wasn’t anywhere near as awful, back then.

It seems I have become a menace to society. I guess Joe Collidge is right about me. I suppose I ought to be proud of having earned this distinction; but, in fact, it doesn’t give me all that nice a feeling. All I’m doing is calling it like I see it. That’s dangerous?

Oh, well, at least I’m in good company.

No, Google, it’s not this unimportant blogger who’s dangerous. It’s our college system that is dangerous. But I suppose you’ll want to live in the world these confused young people make, when it’s their turn to take over from the grownups: very probably because you and your cohorts expect to rule that world.

I would rather not see that happen.

Rushdoony on ‘Invisible Rulers’

See the source image

When R.J. Rushdoony wrote this essay, thirty years ago or so, the Western intellectual mind (pardon the oxymoron) had not yet degenerated to “your truth, my truth, no truth.” But as he so often did, he saw exactly where it was heading and could tell you exactly where it came from.

https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/invisible-rulers

There’s a lot of meat to this essay, but stick with it–because it tells us how we got here and points us back to God.

Postmodern poop that rests on such philosophical gems as “I is reality” has no future.
