Proof Liberals are a Danger to All of Us

This entire thread is an unsupported sweeping generalization.

"This at its core is what liberalism leads to. Those two naïve (now dead) liberals-in-love had the same beliefs as those who want to defund our military."

Liberals do not want to "defund" the military. This is a total lie. The only thing some have suggested is not spending more than the next 7 largest countries combined.

"The same beliefs as those who want to open our borders."

Liberals and progressives do NOT want "open borders", this is another blatant lie from dishonest conservative partisans. When they've got nothing but Trump to show for their ideology, they have no choice but to lie, lie, lie.

"The same beliefs as the people who want us to destroy our nuclear arsenal and “trust the universe.”

Global nuclear reduction is the only sensible course of action, but the fact is NO ONE is suggesting completely eliminating all nuclear weapons, as nice as that sounds, it's completely unrealistic which is why it's never actually been part of the liberal platform.

"These are the same kind of people who want to take our guns away."

Again, more lies. Isn't lying getting tiresome conservatives? Liberals and progressives support universal background checks, sensible gun laws, bans on bump stocks and limits on large capacity magazines and some military style assault rifles most commonly used in mass murders. NO ONE IS TRYING TO BAN ALL YOUR GUNS! When will you thick skulled conservatives get that through your heads?

"These are the same kind of people who want to import millions of Islamic refugees into our country- without extreme vetting, without knowing if they have violent intent, or if they want Sharia Law, or if they hold hateful views toward Christians, Jews and America."

More complete bullshit. Islamic refugees have been THOROUGHLY vetted, a TWO YEAR vetting process that does check to make sure they're not coming with violent intent, want to impose sharia on others or holding hateful views towards Americans.

Where do you get this kind of wretched bullshit HA? Oh, that's right, you got it from the partisan right wing "townhall" launched in 1995 as one of the first conservative Internet communities, Towanhall.com is part of the Salem Web Network, which focuses on Christian and family-themed content. No wonder it's chock full of bullshit and lies.

It's called "whisful thinking." I certainly wish, like this unfortunate couple, that the world really would be a safe and loving place for everyone. When we worry about things like national security and international terrorism (or, before 2017, the Russians), the Left always tells us that we're irrational and paranoid. Believe me, I would love to be wrong.

But the real world doesn't care about our feelings or our wishes. The terrorists really do want to kill Americans wherever they can. 

I wish liberals believed in science. 

Actually, I don't want to bash liberals. I still consider myself a liberal in many ways, but it's more the John Locke variety of liberal. Maybe the real enemy is progressives. I wish progressives believed in science.

Progressives just love to accuse the Right of being anti-science, but you don't see Republican governments shutting down research laboratories or outlawing inquiry. The worst you see if that they don't want the federal government funding something. There is plenty of private research going on without restriction. But make a liberal mad with science and you might lose your job, a whole industry might get shut down, or you could be accused of hate speech.

To start, they're infesting our colleges. There's an interesting phenomenon in our universities and that is the lack of diversity - of thought , that is. It's resulting in a confirmation bias we can measure. Though papers are supposed to be subjected to peer review, such review is rarely objectively critical, particularly in the social sciences, because the politics of the reviewers match that of the researcher under review.

The Real War on Science

In a classic study of peer review, 75 psychologists were asked to referee a paper about the mental health of left-wing student activists. Some referees saw a version of the paper showing that the student activists’ mental health was above normal; others saw different data, showing it to be below normal. Sure enough, the more liberal referees were more likely to recommend publishing the paper favorable to the left-wing activists. When the conclusion went the other way, they quickly found problems with its methodology.

Liberals and low IQ believe in astrology more

Republicans are more scientifically literate than Democrats or independents are

The progressives who run Google fired a guy for pointing out real biological differences between men and women. Mind you, he wasn't fired because he got the science wrong. But PC politics > scientific truth.

Google Fired James Damore for Telling the Truth

Progressives believe there is something special and deadly about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), but the scientific consensus says otherwise. Humans have been modifying foods and animals for thousands of years. Sometimes it's a benefit, sometimes it's not.

What You Need to Know About GMOs

Nearly 9 out of 10 scientists from the American Association for the Advancement of Science say GMOs are "generally safe" to eat.

The Debate About GMO Safety Is Over, Thanks To A New Trillion-Meal Study

Although there have been more than 2,000 studies documenting that biotechnology does not pose an unusual threat to human health and genetically modified foods are as safe or safer than conventional or organic foods, questions remain in the minds of many consumers. . . .

globally, food-producing animals consume 70% to 90% of genetically engineered crop biomass, mostly corn and soybean. In the United States alone, animal agriculture produces over 9 billion food-producing animals annually, and more than 95% of these animals consume feed containing GE ingredients. The numbers are similar in large GMO producing countries with a large agricultural sector, such as Brazil and Argentina.

Estimates of the numbers of meals consumed by feed animals since the introduction of GM crops 18 years ago would number well into the trillions. By common sense alone, if GE feed were causing unusual problems among livestock, farmers would have noticed. Dead and sick animals would literally litter farms around the world. Yet there are no anecdotal reports of such mass health problems.

Straws. Progressives have stumbled on the cure for global pollution (I exaggerate): Ban the humble plastic straw. Because the world has a plastic garbage problem. Fair enough. We do. But how much does the US even contribute to plastic waste in our oceans?

OK China was probably a given. They're the most populous country in the world, after all. I would expect them to make the most garbage. But keep in mind that the United States is the 3rd most populous country in the world and by FAR the most productive. We put less plastic waste into the ocean than all all those countries? Even from all sources, straws account for about .03% of the plastic littering the ocean.

Activists and news media often claim that Americans use 500 million plastic straws per day, for example, which sounds awful. But the source of this figure turns out to be a survey conducted by a nine-year-old .

But paper is better because it's biodegradable? Well, it would be if it were exposed to the elements, but it never is. Instead, it's buried in a landfill, insulated from light and air so bacteria can't break it down. Liberal science at work.

What else? What other progressive anti-science beliefs are out there?

Plastic bag bans are needed to solve the plastic garbage problem. See above, but also consider that reusing cloth bags can create its own health hazards. Most probably aren't washed much and who knows what's growing in your grocery bags

Organic food, granola, energy bars, and smoothies are healthier than whatever else you're eating and you should probably be shopping at Whole Foods

Home schooling is . . . evil or something. It supposedly creates anti-social misfits who don't learn basic curricula. In fact, home schooled kids grow up to do very well professionally, and as a group, tend to score better on standardized tests than public school students.

Vaccines cause autism. Nope.

Homeopathy and herbs are superior to actual medicine. Nope.

Hormones in milk and beef are dangerous to humans. Nope.

There's no such thing as races and all humans are genetically identical because we haven't evolved since we left Africa.

Men and women are the same.

Gender is fluid.

We will run out of oil by 1980. No 1990. We mean 2000.

Fracking is poisoning tap water.  Nope.

The planet is cooling. No, it's warming. We won't have polar ice caps by 2010. No, 2013. Next year, for sure.

To end gun violence in America, we need to ban the AR-15, a device responsible for a fraction of 1% of firearm homicides while yet being the most popular rifle in the country.

A fetus is a parasite. Also, it can't feel pain.

All things nuclear power. Seriously, you'd rather burn coal?

I wish liberals believed in science. 

If you had just stopped there it would have been the funniest rightwing self-deprecatory joke ever.  Alas, you went on to make if the usual farce.  if you wanna know why China was at the top--it was taking all the contaminated plastic from the US until it decided it was too much and stopped.  That's why, if you haven't noticed and I'm sure you haven't, a lot of recycling compnanies refuse (pause for a quick chortle) to take most of the US plastic now.  

Sure enough, the more liberal referees were more likely to recommend publishing the paper favorable to the left-wing activists. When the conclusion went the other way, they quickly found problems with its methodology.

GO Figure. But of course this wouldn't be the case if the idolical names switched places. 

LOL 

Nearly 9 out of 10 scientists from the American Association for the Advancement of Science say GMOs are "generally safe" to eat.

Have they studied GMA's to see if that is part of the reason for so much obesity these days , I don't remember so many fat people before GMA's. For damn sure !

All things nuclear power. Seriously, you'd rather burn coal?

I say, ask the president.

...............................

Thanks though, interesting take on a biased based subject matter. 

I too am a classical liberal.  

You cannot be a supposed "classical liberal" and support Donald Trump. 

If you love classical liberalism so much then go back to the 1800s when it was a workable policy for a nation of 300 million in the 21st century. I'll e-mail Malthus and tell him that you are coming.

Proof that the Few are trying so hard to Silence the Many

Proof that the Few are trying so hard to Silence the Many 

Nobody is trying to silence anyone because as private citizens we cannot silence others. You don't have the right not to be criticized for your opinions, beliefs or actions. 

So, you broke the rules that you agreed to follow on this site, and got spanked for it.  Did you intend to break those rules when you made an account?  I'd consider agreeing to rules you have no intention of following to be a bit dishonest.

Did you intend to break those rules when you made an account? 

E.A  " Speak Your Mind " Deleting comments and marking them as " No Value " shows what this is about, and those that want to know more all they have to do is do a search of Your Moniker and Mine, have fun!!

As for those interested in Science see this ::

 And think, where would we be now have we silenced all we thought as " No Value "?
