Invasive Species Out, Illegal Aliens In!

               There is yet another incredible inconsistency/hypocrisy of thought among liberals that has gone unnoticed in recent years. They champion “diversity” over all other “virtues”. We need all races, creeds, religions, sexual orientations (57 varieties now on Facebook! Claim one now while they’re hot!), fetishes, etc., etc. to be complete they shout. Gay marriage, abortion, legalized pot, it’s all good, bro! Tolerance is everything!

And yet, there are  two things liberals will not tolerate. First, if one disagrees with their positions (see also ‘global warming/climate change’)  that is heresy, not diversity of opinion… and will get one banned from speaking at a college or university…and perhaps threatened with jail time. Theirs is the only orthodoxy they will accept.

                Second, liberals, as the eco-fascists they are, think Invasive Species are going to be the death of us all- if climate change doesn’t get us first- and believe we have to expend whatever effort and resources it takes to prevent them from taking hold in our pristine ecosystem.

                That’s right, Purple Loosestrife, Zebra Mussels, Eurasian Milfoil, Bighead Carp, Round Gobies, etc., etc. will crowd out all our native species and make our lives a living hell if we don’t spend billions of dollars to try to keep them in check…and spare no effort to keep any/all other obnoxious foreign flora and fauna back where they damn well belong.

                Yet, liberals claim that every man, woman and child, of any stripe and character, that comes across our border is a font of enrichment for our nation and is warmly to be welcomed into our culture, workforce and hearts. They will be good for the economy and teach us about other cultures and belief systems. Why, we can learn so very much from them, it is a privilege for us to have them around, whether they came here illegally or not.

                In sum, diversity is not just good but mandatory in all things, except thought- if you think differently than they do. That kind of diversity is dangerous. (The Founders would be so proud). Oh, and  every living thing, plant and animal alike, that hails from parts unknown  is dangerous to our ecosystem and way of life- except for human beings, who are universally a blessing bestowed upon us from any and every country on the planet.

                They do tolerate their own hypocrisy and illogic.

               

              

               

Is the Climate Right for a Change?

               

                Recently, Climate Change scares/threats have been published, aired, trumpeted and touted at an alarming pace. But what is meant by change? (And why is it no longer called Global Warming)?

              Change is the one constant. In fact I’d say it always has been, but that would be redundant. No one can logically claim to use evidence of ‘change’ alone as proof of anything or any theory, crackpot or not.

                Day into night, summer into fall, fall into winter, the cycles of life. Everything changes. People are born and people die, changing all the while as they age; physically, spiritually and intellectually (except, perhaps, for some climate change scientists).

                Some winters- and epochs- are colder and snowier than ‘normal’ ( we shouldn’t generalize and label!) around these parts, some warmer and drier, some colder and drier, some warmer and wetter. It’s the same anywhere else.

                What is the exact correct period of time to ascertain/determine and measure ‘normal’- or change? Is it a day, a week, a month, a year? Silly, of course not! Ten years then, a hundred, a thousand? Million?  Perhaps a billion years is the correct measuring stick. Does it matter? Yes, and I happen to know it’s  2,014 years. But that’s just me and I am not a scientist. But I digress.

                Cosmically speaking, a nanosecond ago (in the 1970’s) we were terribly worried about global cooling. Now it’s the opposite. Yet the 1930’s were ‘historically’ warm, and this summer has been historically cool across the U.S. Last winter was brutally cold. The farmer’s Almanac predicts this winter to be of similar frigidity. The record high temperature for September 8^th in these parts was 104 degrees in 1931. The record cold temperature for the same date? 26  degrees in 1942. That’s 78 degrees of separation on the same date just eleven years apart.

               According to scientists, the supercontinent Pangaea drifted apart  (for some reason; we weren’t here yet) 250 million years ago or thereabouts. That was change. The ‘Big Bang’ was change on a vast and inconceivable scale.  The Mother of All Changes.

 

                The point? The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) now claims that Illinois alone has enough coal to power the United States for 163 years at 2014 consumption levels!  Think about that. Yet we are being told by certain ‘authorities’ and governmental policy wonks that we can’t use it, have to leave most of it in the ground so we don’t risk exacerbating climate change. Folks, we voted to fundamentally change America- twice- in the past six years. And changed it is. We are poorer, less free, farther from our founding principles and less respected around the world. Cheaper energy would change many family’s lives for the better. In fact, economically speaking, cheaper energy changes everything.

                Let’s change our representatives in Washington in the next two plus years. Let’s deny the climate change fascist’s sycophants in government the power to aid and abet them.

                And let’s utilize something from Illinois that will actually benefit this country…for a change.
