Georgia (at the moment, on my mind), above:

"[Mc Cain] supports the global warming lie and other liberal pipe dreams..."

Neither you (nor I) have, I believe, the science to make a definitive (or definite) determination about global warming.

But if we take a cue from responsible, UNBIASED scientists, the consensus seems to be against your position.

My question is, why this fierce conservative objection to the apparent fact of global warming--as if it was somehow a sign of individual or group WEAKNESS to want to remedy a common and very threatening problem?

Answer: authoritarian-think, which demands certainty, gets very antsy when confronted with something that causes its subscribers to confront (the possibility of) individual vulnerability.

The defenses against the recognition of this fact are very strong, making those who crave certainty, and constant reassurances of "strength," feel...well....very vulnerable.

Which isn't permitted, so....

Maybe one can consider the possibility of global warming, or similar positions, without having to pull out all the ammo, no?
