what the smart and sophisticated guys are saying

Geez what an attitude. If somebody appears smarter and more sophisticated than you are, and if they were indeed that, then they would know that, then you aren’t interested in anything they say. I guess you would rather learn from people who are dumber and who know less. Ah you stump jumping anarchists, I don’t know why we smart sophisticates reach out to you with our wisdom.

It does take time to look up the studies, but a guy who is pounding his computer at night to some other guy who pounds his keyboard in the morning and nobody is listening to either of them probably has a little time on his hands. You know this whole who has time to do whatever is pretty much a dodge. Everybody finds time to do what they want to do, it is only stuff that they don’t want to do that they can’t find time for. It would be more honest to just say you don’t want to do it.

And I don’t blame you, I don’t want to either. Damn columnists don’t make it any easier either by failing to even give you enough information that you can google the study and look it up yourself. Probably the best thing you can do, if you still want to get to that computer before bedtime and pound out your knowledge to some egghead sophisticate, is just to listen to a lot of sources, as you say you do, and I commend you for that.

Some of my liberal friends, when I bring up something about Bill or Sean, wrinkle their noses in disgust and proudly proclaim that they never watch those guys, like somehow it would put a taint on them, like somehow there would be some razzle dazzle and they’d be turned into Foxies. Well geez, if your ideas are that weak, well you might as well become a Foxie.

And the thing is Fox makes it easy to dismiss conservative ideas because they are so stupid and full of half truths that it takes like ten seconds to refute their arguments and to be assured that your liberal ideas are impeachable. In this sense the Foxies do their conservative allies no favors because they make them look stupid. Hey how about that Liz Cheney, what a gal.

You know I am a fan of the Sunday morning talk shows, and I was thinking of some conservative commentators who seemed intelligent and I could only think of a few, but then I started to think of liberal commentators and they seemed stupid too. And I think the thing is they are all so partisan and all they really want to do is argue with each other, and they don’t want to argue like a logical discussion, they just want to argue to win.

This is the problem my friend, we have a hardened left and a hardened right and all they really want to do is fight each other, kind of like the sunnis and the shias.

It does not follow that we would all be dead, actually would never have existed, if there were no carbon in the atmosphere therefore more is better. Again the thing about global warming is not that everyplace just gets a little warmer, it’s that everything moves around so that cities are flooded and breadbaskets get no rain, and we are worse off. Also it’s not like it goes a few degrees and stops, it keeps going. And we are evolved to exist in a certain climate, and when that has varied a bit in the past it has had a powerful effect on our numbers.

Solar and wind are not cheaper right now then fossil fuels. If they were don’t you think we would be using them? For a libertarian you have no faith in free markets. A little government help for alternate fuels would help, but I think this is against everything you believe in.
