Sometimes I have to look at people and wonder how they managed to get through life without getting punched in the face.
Dave Lindorff is one such person.
Say what you will about the looming catastrophe facing the world as the pace of global heating and polar melting accelerates. There is a silver lining.
Look at a map of the US.
So the future political map of America is likely to look as different as the much shrunken geographical map, with much of the so-called “red” state region either gone or depopulated.
There is a poetic justice to this of course. It is conservatives who are giving us the candidates who steadfastly refuse to have the nation take steps that could slow the pace of climate change, so it is appropriate that they should bear the brunt of its impact.
It should be considered acceptable, in this stifling new world, to say, “Shut up. We told you this would happen.”
So it is perfectly acceptable to tell someone "Shut up, I told you so" when we warn you about a looming threat?
Alright. What about Al-Qaeda? Bill Clinton had dozens of warnings and suicide attacks happen on his watch. Yet, liberals love to downplay the threat. Even to this day, after 9/11, we have liberals who refuse to believe that there's a threat from militant Islamic's.
Yet, after 3,000 people died, not once did you ever, or will you ever hear me say "Shut up, we told you this was a threat".
What about the national debt? We've warned you for years about the deficit, and even told you to cut back, yet here we are, 9 trillion dollars in debt.
Sure, you can try to blame Bush and Iraq, but that isn't even close to to actual costs of the war. Bush started at $5 trillion in debt and now we are at $9 trillion. You simply are delusional if you think that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan has cost $4 trillion dollars.
After all the warnings, you still see Democrats throwing in earmarks into the budget. These same Democrats are the ones who bitch about the debt.
So, they should "Shut up" as well according to Dave?
I'm talking about looming threats against us, Dave is talking about the deaths of millions of people and is gloating about it.
Would it be "poetic justice" if Bill Clinton was in the World Trade Center when it was attacked? Would it be "poetic justice" if Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha were to repay the national debt?
According to Dave's logic, they would be.
