More hysterical idiocy, in an article on man made global warming (seattlepi.com)
Starting around 500 years ago, when the prominent thinkers of the day (Copernicus, Galileo) were ridiculed for claiming the Earth was round and the planets rotated around the sun, a pattern has followed: Conservatives have lost most of the major battles where they fought science and/or big progressive social advances. They opposed ending slavery, and lost. They believed women should not vote, and lost. Conservatives ridiculed Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution, and eventually the majority of the people of the planet accepted it. More recently conservatives opposed civil rights, and had to watch as Americans came to embrace a more enlightened view on race relations and fairness.
Let’s break this
- It was Democrats who opposed ending slavery. They were also the ones who were primarily against the Civil Rights Act
- The bit about Conservatives denying women the right to vote is unsupported by fact
- Consensus regarding Darwinism does not make Evolution a fact. Facts do, and the Darwiniacs are still looking for facts to support their theory. Usually it is because their “evidence did not fossilize” or something silly.
- Again, it was a majority of Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act, and, it is Democrats who have the most problems with race, as they attempt to keep minorities, particularly Blacks, bottled up and beholden to the Democrat Party. It is Democrats who treat Blacks, women, gays, etc, as people in need of government protection because they are not good enough to do it on their own. Fairness means giving some groups preference over others.
It’s no wonder so many people are skeptical about global warming, when you get idiotic foolishness that is not only unsupported by fact, but is directly contradicted by fact.
Oh, and let’s look at a breakdown of what the Democrats have done to Blacks.
