Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Global “warming” data? Yeah, I’ll get back to you on that!

Or, as Patrick Michaels headlines it, “The Dog Ate” it.  Excerpt:

Imagine if there were no reliable records of global surface temperature. Raucous policy debates such as cap-and-trade would have no scientific basis, Al Gore would at this point be little more than a historical footnote, and President Obama would not be spending this U.N. session talking up a (likely unattainable) international climate deal in Copenhagen in December.

Steel yourself for the new reality, because the data needed to verify the gloom-and-doom warming forecasts have disappeared.

Or so it seems. Apparently, they were either lost or purged from some discarded computer. Only a very few people know what really happened, and they aren’t talking much. And what little they are saying makes no sense.

If you have any inkling as to what science is and how it works, prepare yourself for this jaw-dropping statement:

Now begins the fun. Warwick Hughes, an Australian scientist, wondered where that “+/–” came from, so he politely wrote Phil Jones in early 2005, asking for the original data. Jones’s response to a fellow scientist attempting to replicate his work was, “We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?”

Reread that statement, for it is breathtaking in its anti-scientific thrust. In fact, the entire purpose of replication is to “try and find something wrong.” The ultimate objective of science is to do things so well that, indeed, nothing is wrong.

Wow.  “You’ll try to find something wrong with it”?  Seriously?

I mean, data is available that shows that the sun is hot, so even if I were hellbent on finding “something wrong with the data”, I wouldn’t be able to do so.  The heat of the sun stands up to scientific scrutiny.  The junk science fad known as global “warming” survives no such scrutiny, and it seems that this “scientist” knows that.

Quote of the day, “Biggest loser in presidential election history weighs in on racism” edition

Walter Mondale on Obama’s critics:

“I don’t want to pick a person [and] say, ‘He’s a racist,’ but I do think the way they’re piling on Obama — the harshness — you kind of feel it,” he said. “I think I see an edge in them that’s a little bit different and a little harsher than I’ve seen in other times.”

We haven’t seen a Marxist president in “other times”, Walt.  Riddle me this, Mr. One State Wonder: considering that B.O. won the election with roughly 53% of the vote (which necessarily means most white people), and considering that his overall approval rating is now less than that, isn’t it safe to say that his approval/disapproval has jack squat to do with his skin color?

Hey, Walt: The 49 states you didn’t win in 1984 just called.  They said they’d vote the same way today that they did a quarter century ago.  The one state you did win (home state of MN) repudiated you against Norm Coleman in 2002.  In other words, officially no one listens to your sage advice/observations anymore.

Government school in NJ indoctrinates kids to sing pro-Obama song

But hey, where would you get the crazy idea that the left is using the government school system to indoctrinate our kids?  Just because of this?

A video showing elementary school students learning songs praising Barack Obama for his “great accomplishments” and efforts to “make this country’s economy No. 1 again” is generating anger from conservatives today.

In the video at left, students at New Jersey’s B. Bernice Young Elementary School are shown singing about the president, in one case to the tune of “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” according to Fox News. …

Excerpt of the hymnal song:

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay.

I mean, sure, a bunch of kids who know nothing about politics are singing songs that are reminiscent of “Jesus Loves the Little Children” to The One (sidebar: Hey, Andrew, how’s that “Obama as Messiah myth” looking to you now?).  And yeah, there’s that whole “praising the socialist president in a way that was never done to his predecessor” thing.  And sure, the government school system has been more than accomodating when it comes to pushing pro-B.O. propaganda.  But if you can just get past all that, there’s really nothing to see here.

For those of you on the left, the prior paragraph was sarcasm.

Exit question: Could someone please tell me the rule on using the president’s middle name?  I mean, a talk radio host in Cincinnati (Bill Cunningham) was poor-mouthed by, among others, Juan McAmnesty last year during the campaign for saying “Barack Hussein Obama”.  Is it somehow more acceptable when it comes from the mouths of singing children?
