On Stifling Global Warming Dissent
Jonah Goldberg asks a good question in a recent column: "Isn't it interesting how the same people who think "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" when it comes to the war think that dissent when it comes to global warming is evil and troglodytic?" If the global warming alarmists were truly confident in their position they wouldn't mind dissent. The reason they want to stifle dissent is exactly because they know their position is weak.
Glowarm (I'm tired of typing the whole phrase) is looking more and more like a religion. It has its prophet. You have to take it mostly on faith. Non-believers are labeled heretics and publicly ridiculed. It promises an apocalypse. You have to repent now and change your ways in order to stave off the apocalypse. You're allowed to compensate for your sins (using 'dirty' energy) by performing good works (purchasing carbon offsets).
My aim of course is to firmly establish Glowarm as a religion so that government won't be able to touch it. You know, the 'Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion' thing.

I wonder if People that feel it’s OK to spit on men and women that take and oath to service their country, and do that, also feel it’s OK, for men and women that disagree with their action, to take action that could be harmful to them. Or is it I can do it to you, but you can’t do it to me? .
My request for the “media†just once, use hidden cameras and report it at a later date. My guess is the crowds will slowly disappear—no cameras, mean no-shows. The Media should read. Its own reports about the reason civil-right marches ended, not because they decrease in effectiveness, but because some people did not come to support the cause. The sole reason for their present, were to be on a camera and near other human beings, something that is not possible in the neighborhoods where they live. But I am sure the Media know this, and will not honor my request because they would not have anything to report on the evening new cast.
