We are correct - again

We often note the intellectual dishonesty of the Left. We accuse them of not being willing to debate ideas on an intellectual level. Once again, the evidence shows - we are right.

There is news about the ongoing attempt to make you believe that you are destroying the planet. And that only massive, expensive government intervention can help. And - this from no less a Liberal icon than the New York Times. Apparently a memo has gone out from some group called EcoAmerica. The gist of the memo: suggestions as to how to make you more likely to accept Environmental Socialism by changing the 'words' used to describe it. To wit:
  • Stop using the term 'global warming'. Apparently it puts people off.

    Now, it seems to me,the fact that the planet is cooling would also be a good reason. But, that was not mentioned in the memo.

  • Use the term “our deteriorating atmosphere.” (Of course, it is actually improving)
  • Also good is the all encompassing "climate change" - which, of course, means nothing. But it sounds so ominous.
  • Don't talk about carbon dioxide. (Hey - it's just another word for 'plant food'.)
  • Say "moving away from the dirty fuels of the past". (Hmm.. Nothing about the ultimate clean fuel - Nuclear.)
  • Don’t confuse people with cap and trade;
  • use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.”
  • “Another key finding: remember to speak in TALKING POINTS aspirational language about shared American ideals, like freedom, prosperity, independence and self-sufficiency while avoiding jargon and details about policy, science, economics or technology,”

    Trouble with those aspirational words: the Left has no idea what they actually mean. I mean - how does a Liberal think freedom, prosperity, and independence mesh with his idea of an ever-expanding Federal Government?

Folks, they are just trying to pull a fast one. They know that you care about POLLUTION. But they also know - that you know - that Carbon Dioxide is NOT pollution. And that global warming in BS....

So, they are simply going to try to trick you by changing the language that they use. Don't let them get away with it.
