I can't tell if this chick is writing a parody site, if she is just clueless, or truly in the depths of denial. Of course, all the talking points of the dismal left come screaming through. I left a comment on her site, telling her that if she were ever in Louisiana, I would take her shooting, and please, to list me on her blacklist because I would consider it a distinct honor. Her reply is:
PawPaw: I can see that you are a gun nut and that your site is intended to spread lies and hate. You even talk about the recent hurricane without mentioning Bush's direct role in the hurricane through his active promotion of global warming. But there is nothing on your site that is derogatory about me. Without that I'm sorry to say that you just don't make the cut (yet).She's right. I am a gun nut. But lies and hate? Someone tell me where I have spread lies or hate. I link everything. Then we get to Global Warming and Bush's direct role in the same sentence with Hurricane Katrina.
Hey, sweetie. Time to get a clue. Bush has been on vacation since Katrina became a threat. He probably didn't even turn on the news till someone told him there was a problem. And global warming doesn't cause hurricanes. A recent article in the New York Times explains it.
Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming.But, rather than confuse you, I'll just send you to the historical record that shows that earth has been warming since the last ice age. Six thousand years ago, it was 15 degrees cooler on average than it is now. The history of man is basically a warm spell.
But that is not the case, scientists say. Instead, the severity of hurricane seasons changes with cycles of temperatures of several decades in the Atlantic Ocean. The recent onslaught "is very much natural," said William M. Gray, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University who issues forecasts for the hurricane season.
Then, we find this direct quote on the purpose of gummint:
First off, if government isn't going to solve people's problems, why bother having it. Our forefathers created this country so that the government could provide for its citizens including safety, welfare, healthcare, etc., all in a non-discriminatory manner.Oh, My Gawd! Sweetie, you really need to take a civics class. Just Googling Preamble to the Consitution would tell you what the government is supposed to provide: a common defense. Here is the whole preamble, for your general edification.
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.There now, you see what the Government is supposed to provide? The rest of it is up to us, because adults are supposed to be able to take care of themselves. We don't need the government to provide for us.
As a matter of fact, our forefathers created this country to get the king and his bureaucrats off our backs. Read the Declaration of Independence all the way through. The founding fathers talk about why we need to be seperate and independent from Great Britian. You can find it here. Oh, and as for .... what were your words?.... "non-discriminatory manner"... Great Bejus on a Shingle, woman! Are you an idiot, or do you just play one on your blog? The Founding Fathers considered slavery an acceptable institution, and women were not allowed to vote. I think we have come a long way since then, but the purpose of government is still only to provide a common defense.
It is moonbats like you who give liberals a bad name.
The invitation still stands, though. Any time you find yourself in Louisiana, let me know and I'll take you shooting. We'll have a short civics class, too, then I'll take you to a honk-tonk and teach you to two-step. It'll be a blast.
UPDATE: After reading more of this site, I am convinced it is a parody site, designed to highlight the weirdness of the Moonbat Party. Probably written by one of Karl Rove's minions, or perhaps as a group blog to make Karl laugh over breakfast. That Jesse Jackson for President post is a hoot.
An observation about global warming: Remember the Northwest Passage the old explorers tried to find? Well, now it's there.
ReplyDeleteIs it? Well, that is interesting. I have no doubt the Earth is getting warmer, and that our use of petroleum fuels is partly responsible. A simple fact of the human condition is that we change our environment. Humans are consumers of resources.
ReplyDeletePeople pine for the good old days, and frankly, I don't know what the fuss is all about. I remember waking up cold on a winter morning and baking on an August afternoon. Those things are still possible, but heating and air conditioning are good things, to my mind.
This ole Earth is going to keep spinning around, whether we are here on it or not.
Denial?
ReplyDeleteI'll give you denial...
That the war in Iraq isn't illegal.
That Iraq wasn't better off before we got there.
That taxes on the rich aren't too low.
That taxes on the working poor aren't too high.
That poverty couldn't be irradicated by increasing taxes on the wealthy.
That the environment couldn't be cleaned up by reeling in big business.
That Cindy Sheehan isn't the greatest thing since Jane Fonda.
That the ACLU is the only thing protecting our constitution.
That guns aren't evil.
That womyn aren't repressed.
That most minorities in jail shouldn't be there and are only there because they are victims.
That the mainstream media isn't way conservative.
That high oil prices are part of an agreement cut between Bush and the Saudis.
That the CIA isn't in IRAN right now causing trouble so that we have to invade.
That Chenny isn't part of a shadow government pulling strings at every major institution except the Supreme Court which is what Roberts is for.
If you don't believe any of these then you my friend are in denial.
