The Patriot Opinion

A modern day Liberty Tree under which an American Patriot makes a passionate attempt to reignite the smouldering coals of freedom in the hearts of his countrymen. "It does not take a majority to prevail, but an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams

On Hiatus!

If you'll care to read this story, you'll find that doctors are now warning people not to use their cell phones outside in thunderstorms.

Um...okay...

Hang on! Who on earth is standing around out in the middle of a THUNDERSTORM talking on their CELL PHONE?


Whatever!

Anyway, it's been a while since I've posted, and I will be back, but I'll be gone this next week, and then I'll likely be leaving the country around July 15, not to return to the blogosphere until September sometime.

Between those two dates I will probably be far too busy to post.

I will return!

In the mean time, God bless!

"An Inconvenient Truth"?

There’s been plenty of buzz going around recently about AlGore’s new film, “An Inconvenient Truth”, with many of the “critics” raving that it’s the greatest film ever, or something like that.

The reason they say this, of course, is that they like the message: “human activity is destroying the earth and we need government to step in and save the day.”

While it is true that government involvement stifles human productivity, the myth of so-called “global warming” is nothing more than an attempt to scare the population into giving more power to the “elite”.

By the way, I want to make it clear that I have not seen and do not plan to see this latest piece of propaganda. I’m talking about the issue as a whole here, and not AlGore’s movie specifically.

Isn’t it interesting, by the way, that the group whining today about “global warming” today and warning of impending doom is the same bunch screaming about “global cooling” thirty-some years ago?

Ah, yes, we were supposed to be in an “ice age” by the year 2000. Right! The only “ice age” in sight in Y2K was the movie! (Released two years later, in 2002)

What supposedly caused global cooling? Human activity. What supposedly causes global warming? Human activity.

What’s the bottom line? Say anything to scare the living daylights out of people so that they’ll bow to a rule of the “elite”.

Guess what? Some Russian “expert” is now claiming that global cooling will start again sometime around 2012!

Say, has anyone caught on that this might be—oh, I don’t know—a NATURALLY OCCURING CYCLE or something?

By the way, does anyone else notice the irony in complaints of warm weather? I live in Michigan. Our economy is currently the reason that people are moving out, but in a normal year, with a competent state government, (and therefore a decent economy) our largest population losses probably come from people fleeing to warmer weather in the South. (If only for the Winter) We could stand a few more degrees up here!

Could warmer temperatures ever be disastrous? Sure—once we escalate by 100 degrees or so in a couple years. See that happening? No!

By the way, scientists just recently “discovered” that the earth’s arctic regions used to be subtropical! Of course, if you’ve read your Bible recently, you already knew that!

(Note: these “scientists” claim that this was an absurd and nonexistent 55 million years ago—if the earth and sun existed 45 million years ago, their surfaces would be touching. Subtropical? Whatever!)

The point is, we’re fine now aren’t we? Life did not cease to exist because the polar ice caps were missing! (Actually, at that time they had never been there, but you get the point!)

Want to hear something really loony? “Scientists” are also claiming that global warming can actually cause global cooling!

So what it all boils down to is this: the real “Inconvenient Truth” is only inconvenient to people who gain power by scaring their fellow man into subservience.

By the way, in case you want to join me in ridiculing the absurdity of the “global warming” panic, drop by my store and check out my global warming T-shirts.

Whatever you do, don’t let anyone scare you out of your freedom. Believe me, there are a lot of people trying!
