The Problem With The Marriage of Science and Government

I've been reading S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery's 2008 updated version of "Unstoppable Global Warming" as part of my general familiarization with the data on all the global warming and climate change nonsense that we keep getting hammered about by the technically uninformed.  If you want one book that lays it out there for you, this is likely the one you're looking for.

Not only does it provide lots of data about the facts about climate change (trust me, they bear little to no relationship with the nonsense in the papers or on the internet from the usual suspects).  The climate has been much warmer in the past with no threat to life and CO2 is decidedly not the climate driver you've all be told it is.

But what I find deeply troubling is the evidence they present in the book of bought and paid for distortion of the science to serve the political class.  There is so much money involved now in climate research that it seems very likely that the data is being distorted and lied about to keep the money flowing.  This is clearly a problem whenever government or frankly any large organization becomes a funding source for what is supposed to be objective science.  The servant always wants to please the master.  Unfortunately that means that you can't trust the bought and paid for science that government is trumpeting as a support for onerous controls and punishing taxes and shutting down whole industries based on incomplete science and often enough on sheer fabrications.

Check out THIS for some of the manipulation of the truth.  ARTICLE

Wild Bill Points Out The Obvious

It may be obvious but it seems remarkable how few people comment on the double standard.  White are called racists for all sorts of reasons that have no justification, but the racist acts of black people are just passed over in silence.  But the black community is the one plagued with violence, drug abuse, gangs, and out of control irresponsibility.  Apparently it isn't acceptable to say "Put your house in order before criticizing your neighbor."

Free Speech Doesn't Mean Suppressed Speech

What part of "freedom" don't you understand?  Freedom of speech is about being free to say unpopular, rude, crude, and otherwise offensive things.  Everything is offensive to someone and if you're a savage offensive might be being told that you're a savage because your prophet was a savage and savagery is something you come by naturally for the past almost one and a half millennia.   If you want to remain free you have to defend freedom, especially against those who use disproportional force against ideas they don't like and the expression of those ideas.  When I was a kid my mom taught me that "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me."  Cartoons won't hurt me either.  You need to learn to assess the truth of what is being said and act accordingly.  Truth is what counts.

This Is Why All Muslims Should Be Exiled From The United States

This "religion" is not to be tolerated.  A Muslim cannot be a faithful American citizen, period.  They should all be packed up and shipped out.  It's obvious.

Liberals Are Just Liars ... It's What They Do. Bill Whittle Offers A Few Examples

You usually can discount things that liberals say because they are just not true often enough to give them any a priori credence.  It's just the truth of the matter that liberals don't bother with the truth.  They just make up narratives to fit their agenda.  Increasingly the media is doing the same thing.  It's harder and harder to discover what is really true as you wade through a sea of lies.

The Smoking Gun? IRS Weaponized Against Individuals, Clearly Political Intimidation Worse Than Watergate

Watch out for the IRS, especially if you're a Conservative.  Of course that doesn't matter right?  Political targeting evident from the IRS records.
