From there, it puts together a panel of debaters to address this very serious — and ridiculously loaded — question. I suppose you can go read the intellectual back and forth, which from my cursory skimming was, as one might expect, bogged down with question begging and strawman of every kind (though mostly, the kind that wear monocles and spats); but there’s probably an easier way to answer the question.

Transnational progressivism ready to make its final push
Save us, progressive politicians and “scientists” dependent on grants from those who have a vested interest in creating a anthropomorphic global climate change! We mere mortals need you and your ability to affect climate — to control sun flares and natural cycles in the ozone by way of writing stuff that moves money around to those who have greased your palms — now more than ever! Otherwise, like locusts and

“Federal fee hike putting thousands of freight brokers out of business, industry says”
Well boo hoo for them, amiright? I mean, it’s time these redneck-trucking enablers started worrying about a planet in the death throws of global weathering (heating, cooling, staying the same — all are signs of the need for politicians from around the globe to come together and work out a wealth redistribution scheme). And if that means they have to pony up more money to broker freight — in a

“Report: ICE Releasing Criminal Aliens if Activists Hold ‘Vigils,’ Create Petitions”
Ah, the power of the aggrieved Other and the manipulative progressive media to play the racist card — which only seems to work against craven, pandering Republican politicians interested in “rebranding” (and maybe George Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic”) these days. CNS: President Obama has been touting his record setting ICE figures since at least 2010. His administration has deported a record 1.5 million people in his first term alone, which has drawn the

“There is a great sickness in California” [Darleen Click]
Victor Davis Hanson on fire. Unlike 1976-77, there are no longer just 23 million Californians, but 40 million. But unlike the past, Californians in the 1970s gave up on completing the state California Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project that had supplemented the earlier Colorado River, Big Creek, and Hetch Hetchy water storage and transference efforts. At some fateful moment in the 1970s, the other California on the

Saturday quick takes [Darleen Click]
Obama and Pope Francis have entirely different takes on what their conversation was about. I know who I find more credible. Officials of Venezuela’s Socialist totalitarian regime paradise have launched an investigation into rogue crossword puzzles. Since when did crowd-sourcing site, Kickstarter, start censoring projects? When the project is a film about serial murderer Kermit Gosnell The Russians are coming …

CA state senator Leland Yee – suspended and sent home with $90,000 [Darleen Click]
Because we can’t really punish a Democrat now, can we? Oh yeah, the other two Democrat criminals (but I repeat myself) got the same treatment. The California state Senate suspended three Democratic lawmakers on Friday who have been the subject of criminal probes, including Leland Yee, who was arrested this week in an FBI sweep on corruption and gun trafficking charges. The Senate voted 28-1 to suspend the three, all

ObamaCare’s #WarOnDoctors [Darleen Click]
Dear Congressman Brooks, As a practicing family physician, I plead for help against what I can best characterize as Washington’s war against doctors. The medical profession has never before remotely approached today’s stress, work hours, wasted costs, decreased efficiency, and declining ability to focus on patient care. In our community alone, at least 6 doctors have left patient care for administrative positions, to start a concierge practice, or retire altogether.

My pallid pallor does not smell like privilege [Darleen Click]
Ah the irony of the anti-theist Left who insist that only some people, regardless of behavior, carry the mark of Original Sin by being “white” For four days this week (March 26-29), thousands of white people are getting together in downtown Madison, Wis. to talk about how guilty they feel about the color of their skin. The self-flagellation conclave is called the White Privilege Conference. A sea of 2,500 (mostly)

GOP Establishment leaders attack rule of law — against GOP Congressmen
Ass, meet frozen Halibut, and a relatively quiet buggering. And not even the courtesy of a reach around. **** OT Note: I’ll be gone today, first heading down to the design center to finalize selections for the new home interior, then off to Sterling, CO, where Satchel and I will stay in a hotel so that we don’t have to make the two hour trek at 4:30 am tomorrow in
