Updated: ‘Reincarnation of the Reds’

Pseudoscience

“Be it warming or cooling, the goal is the same: climate kooks want to scale back the market economy that is responsible for the magnificent living standards enjoyed in industrialized countries.
To accomplish this unchanging ambition, these mutant Marxists have had to create a theory that can’t be falsified—the kind of ‘theory’ Karl Popper referred to as irrefutable. As Popper reminded us, ‘A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is,’ of course, ‘non-scientific.’
Thus evidence that contradicts the global warming theory, climate kooks enlist as evidence for the correctness of their theory; every permutation in weather patterns—warm or cold—is said to be a consequence of that warming or proof of it.
Then again, a leap of faith is necessary if one is to sustain a belief that the specimen that designed the microchip and painted the Mona Lisa is no better than a monkey—a creature that has never created anything, lives in trees, throws coconuts, and hoots to communicate.”
More about the environmental animists and their media enablers, in my new WorldNetDaily column, “Reincarnation of the Reds.”

Updated: This via Drudge: “Record snowfall buries Anchorage, Alaska.” To which the environmental animist will reply that “every permutation in weather patterns—warm or cold—is… a consequence of that warming or proof of it.” As I said, theirs is a theory that can’t be disproved, which is why it’s junk science.

Letter of the Week: Lessons From Dad By James Huggins

Christianity, Gender, The West

I remember my first Daisy Red Ryder BB gun. It was a Christmas present from my Dad and it came complete with a set of parental instructions and a great deal of time spent with the “Man.” My Dad worked long hours and I didn’t get to spend as much time with him as some of my other friends did with their Dads. This, of course, made the time spent on beginning marksmanship lessons that much more special and memorable.
As I grew older I began to notice that most of the dos, don’ts, shoulds and shouldn’ts of life were just more advanced lessons of those first simple ones. As you say, those were different times.

'A Christmas Story'

Feminism, Film, The West

Set in the 1940s, the film ‘A Christmas Story’ depicts a series of family vignettes through the eyes of 9-year-old Ralphie, who yearns for that gift of all gifts: the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun. This was boyhood before ‘bang-bang you’re dead’ was banned; family life prior to ‘One Dad Two Dads Brown Dad Blue Dads’ and Christmas without the ACLU.

‘A Christmas Story’ is also film before Dakota Fanning (that prototypical, barf-making, American child actor). All the more reason to savor it.

Merry Christmas to all,
ILANA
