If you are not reading the California Majority Report, you are not fully informed about the insanity of the left. Last week, I commented on Al Gore, and global warming, which generated a respone on the left wing blog, the California Majority Report. You should take a look at the response to my global warming comment on that blog. If you read my comment, you will see that I was making fun of the good former Vice President, and the current debate on global warming. I find it is always easier to make a point with humor than with ranting. Historical accuracy on the details was not my goal.
I will say that I took some literary license to make the points in my article. But my point was simple, science is not a moral imperative, and when politicians try to make science a moral imperative, scientists take their life into their own hands. When Al Gore, the quintessential politician, the scion of a southern (racist) political family, tried to make global warming a "moral" issue, he started down a road that, historically, has been dangerous for knowledge and liberty.
Global warming is a scientific discussion. Those who want to turn it into a political issue are trying to control our lives, take our liberty, and destroy our lifestyle. The fact that they are also trying to make it a moral imperative is evidence of their desire to stifle dissent. That is when they are dangerous.

Ray, I tried to keep reading it. I honestly did. I actually made it my home site. But the damn thing is too boring so I stopped.

Ray…it’s pretty clear there is no room for humor on the other site…or the Daily Koz for that manner…they pass off sanctimony and anger with the flair of a miracle whip sandwich on white bread served on paper plates…so don’t take offense at their shrill response…they simply can’t help themselves

Yes, indeed, a “scientific discussion.” And every scientist worth a grain of salt has said that global warming is real. Unfortunately, our grandkids and their kids won’t have any “liberty” nor “lifestyle” unless we do something about it.
oh, btw, joe, it’s dailykos.com, not Koz.
And we do have a sense of humor on the left. We laugh at your posts all the time, Ray!

Yes, Global Warming is real. However, there is slew of opinions as to whether it’s due to natural weather changes, the sun, fossil fuels, or hot air from politicians.
