  1. You actually used the word you are trying to think of - deniers. Those people aren't scientists, they're an experiment. Double blind study. What you need to ask yourself and your denier friends is how much more obvious does a situation have to be before you admit you're wrong?

    Remember when those old people would sit around and talk about President Truman and Eisenhower? That's the feeling young people have when oldsters talk about Reagan and Clinton.

    When Reagan was President the great threats to civilization included (if memory serves) a depleted ozone layer, electricity generated by nuclear power, Alar in applesauce, deforestation, cattle on public lands, a nuclear holocaust instigated by a mad cowboy in the White house and red dye number two.

    Those might be out of order and I may have missed one or two things. Those were scary times. And on top of that we were dealing with an economy that made the 'Great Recession' look like a cake walk because of a guy named Jimmy Carter.

    Is a denier. The damage done is now the people don't trust the scientists. The scientists sold their virtue for grant money and power.

    As there should be a separation of church and state so should there be a separation of federal grant money and science - the system is now hopelessly corrupt.

    Good point, I believe the climate deniers are grasping at straws but a lot of very powerful people bet their reputations and fortunes on this scam so don't expect them to go down without a fight.

    Great point. It pains the self appointed intellectual megaminds of slashdot to acknowledge the cringe worthy cowardice of this 'pair of intellectuals' who stay safely in the land of Christendom where no harm is likely to befall them on their childish adventure.

    You need to take a deep breath and think about what has happened to you. People need to interact with people, the internet is great but it results in isolation. Granted, I am making this statement using the internet so there is a degree in irony in the medium.

    You might consider how you would react to this human in person as opposed to how you responded here.

    I hope it would have been different. This person might be Chuck Norris you know.

    The only reason Obama was elected (twice) was because he is a pathological lair supported by a sycophantic press. Throw into that several generations worth of NEA 'educated' voters and here we are. It's too late now.

    Good points. I have disagree with many leftist media types but it is the arguments they make I attack. One reason I enjoy tearing leftist arguments apart is it's easy to do using facts, so one is left with only one logical reason why causality has to resort to such childish behavior in order to avoid the conversation.

    Yup. Obama wasn't equipped intellectually to run a McDonalds, let alone the nation. It's going to take a lot of hard work to clean up this mess. On the plus side it was an experiment and we at least have results.
    Stimulus - No matter how much money a leftist wastes Paul Krugman wants more money wasted. Media is okay with it.
    Reconciliation - It's okay to cheat if it means the left gets to finally have a national healthcare tax. Media is okay with it.
    Fast & Furious - The left is willing to take Mexican lives to advance their gun control agenda. Media is okay with it.
    Benghazi - Don't expect a leftist to help if they think it will cost them an election, sell the lie. Media is okay with it.
    NSA - When the left is in power their is no expectation of privacy anytime, anyplace. Media is okay with it.
    IRS voter suppression - The left will use any means available to take out the opposition. Media is okay with it.
    Fucking drones - The left will use drones to kill lots of people. Media is okay with it. Cindy Sheehan kept chained in basement?
    ObamaCare - The website is a big ass neon sign blinking 'Danger, Turn back now!'
    I wonder is Barack Obama even knows how much trouble he really is in?
