Barbara Boxer is daft.
Channel surfing is going to drive me insane.
Barbara Boxer is flapping her stupid gums about global warming in committee. I feel stupider just for listening to her talk.
She starts with an assertion that Global Warming is “100% real” and “90% certain that human activity is the cause”. So, she’s already started with a known falsehood. She then makes an analogy that is beyond stupid. She says “If a doctor told you that he was 90% certain that your child had cancer, and we had to operate now to save him”, and proceeds to try and make the comparison between AGW and it’s proposed “solutions”, and saving a child from cancer.
Which is when I felt the intelligence draining from my skull and hit the channel change button.
Because the analogy she SHOULD be looking for, if she wants to be accurate and intellectually honest is this: Your doctor tells you that you have cancer, and he’s 90% certain that your child is the cause, and you have to kill your child now if you are to live.
If she wanted to be intellectually honest, that is. But she doesn’t. Like all liberals, her only goal is complete and utter control of the lives of those she views as her subjects, with no regard for the destruction she will wreak on the civilization in which they live.
