Global Warming Part 1: How Liberals Think

I know what’s going through your mind right now: “What? Liberals think?” As much as this might sound like an oxymoron, how liberals and conservatives come to certain conclusions is instructive. I might as well get this out of the way. I don’t have any special insight as to how liberals really think. I can tell you how I came to my conclusions and I have learned a lot based on responses to my earlier post on the topic of global warming.

For me it started in 2006. Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth came out and well, pretty much anything that Al says has got to be true, especially after all the work that he did programming the internet. I don’t think anything that anyone can say after that can convince me otherwise.

Did you actually believe that?

NH Dems Blame Koch Brothers for Sununu Refusing To Advance Undercover Tax Scheme

September 26, 2018April 22, 2018

by Steve MacDonald

I think it’s kind of cute that the NH Democrats continue to pretend this had anything to do with offering Family Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI) to New Hampshire Families. Or that Governor Sununu would accept “FMLI” in any form the legislature coughed up.

Here governor, sign this thing that happens to have family medical leave insurance in the name or else we’ll call you names and blame the Koch Brothers.

He didn’t so that’s what they did.

Daily Kos: Stop Right-Wing Super-Villains From Buying the LA Times

September 26, 2018March 26, 2013

by Steve MacDonald

The Koch brothers have neither confirmed nor denied their interest in purchasing any or all of the Tribune Company–on Sale now–but the gate-keepers of tolerance at the Daily Kos are not taking any chances. They’ve started a petition to try and head-off any potential sale to those ‘Right-Wing Super villains’ Charles and David Koch. The Kos Kids reasoning? Millions of people … Read more

OK, here is my definition of what an “Elite” is

September 26, 2018January 25, 2012

by Skip

I love these meaningless labels you people employ to scare people. “Elite” why not “effete” why not “European minded”? Does an “elite” have lots of money, or is an “elite” just overeducated? Can you be a capitalist and an “elite” or are they mutually exclusive? Do you have to have travelled abroad to be an “elite” or can you be house bound and be elite as well? Please, go ahead and define an elite for me. Is Warren Buffet an “elite”? The Koch brothers support the NYC Ballet and Opera. That sounds pretty elite to me. Are they the “elite”?

I normally just let these things stay in the comment area, but I’ve decided to break my informal guideline. The above is the comment left on my post here pontificating that the Davos Elitist founder wants to scrap capitalism. He demanded I give him a definition, so I have:

For the most part, we use “Elite” in two different ways. When talking about people that just exude excellence in what they do (e.g., Navy Seals, top rated artists, pundits like Krauthammer and Steyn), they are at the elite levels of what they do.

The Pot Calling The Kettle Black

September 26, 2018October 7, 2010

by Steve MacDonald

This from the "Pot calling the kettle black" files: Ray Buckley is grinding his little Facebook propaganda mill again in an effort to get the liberal-regressive’s to put down the latte’s and lose the sad little faces from the implosion of Obama’s partisan, moonbeam, Che Guevara cotillion and get their little rumps in gear to save his chairmanship.

This weeks episode: Citizens United destroyed campaign finance law because the democrats are (according to Buckley) being outspent 8 to 1. The real problem is that others can now compete with unions and the lefts monster cash apparatus and Ray is just whining about the sudden appearance of real equality.

All one needs to do is sell their soul to a billionaire or industry that will spend millions destroying their opponent. That way the candidate will have only one master instead of those peksy constituents and $100 donors. But my point isn’t to state the obvious it is to slam the progressives unwilling to help.

And Ray would know all about that which is what makes this just so…damn…funny. So I’m clear on the hypocrisy part, (and by the way, when Republicans line up to object to liberal billionaire ATM’s that’s just nonsense) but I do have one question for Ray. What is a "peksy" constituent?
