Getting people to listen to the voice on the other side is so difficult, but I think it's worth a shot. Coming soon will be some posts that some will find so upsetting and "offensive" that followers and readers might leave in droves. However, I believe that I am speaking with truth as my guide. We shouldn't be afraid of truth, but unfortunately many people fear truth so much that they will cover their ears and spout "na-na-nah, I can't hear you" and continue to recite their litanies of lies and epithets. <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-10458086761245253002016-11-23T13:45:02.139-08:002016-11-23T13:45:02.139-08:00SBB6, the past condemns all those of Christian, Eu...SBB6, the past condemns all those of Christian, European, Caucasian backgrounds.

They are far more apt to include profanity in their political complaining and tend to engage themselves in protests and disruptions far more often than the other side. <br /><br />There is so much propagandist crap out there that the left and academia start believing all of it and continue to repeat it. Even when presented with evidence they would rather argue a point and then shut out the voices of the other side.

I personally know a family of 15 non-citizens that vote illegally, and vote straight democrat.<br /><br />Oh... and the "educated" left is also the group that SCREAMS about climate change "consensus," while at the same time altering graphs and data to "prove" their theory, and shouting down dissenting voices.

And we see all the varying reasons for the disappointment, fear, anger, contempt for others, and so on.<br /><br />You choose to believe what you will to the extent of totalitarian groupthink. Maybe that's where we'll all head one day--I can see that happening. I believe what I believe with a spirit of greater tolerance and adaptability. But if I literally terrify you then I guess that's what's in your head and I'll just have to accept that.<br /><br />Just to toss out something that might seem random to some, but maybe will make some sense to a few:<br /><br /><i> “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them. And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.</i> Mark 13:9-13<br /><br />God gave us a big beautiful world which has managed to survive in spite of any of the abuse that humans can impose.

From: 'The Politically Incorrect Guide T...LEE ~<br />From: 'The Politically Incorrect Guide To Science'<br /><br />"We have all heard the scenario. The world is poised for ecological disaster because man is polluting the atmosphere and heating up the earth. Global warming will melt the polar ice caps and cause the oceans to rise, submerging large parts of Miami, New York City, and other coastal cities. If you live in Manhattan, you'd better move to South Jersey, or better yet, Omaha, Nebraska.<br /><br />"You would think that with such predictions afoot, someone had been studying the data for a long time. At least, you would hope so. But global warming became the pet cause of environmentalists only in the late 1980s. Before then, some believed the earth was cooling, not warming. <b>'The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only in ten years,'</b> Newsweek warned on April 28, 1975. <b>'The resulting famines could be catastrophic.'</b> To stop global cooling, some experts proposed melting the Arctic ice cap! Now we are taught to fear exactly that. What is going on here?<br /><br />"According to the most reliable summaries of the earth's surface temperatures for the whole globe, which go back no further than 1861, there was a warming period in the first half of the twentieth century, lasting from about 1910 to 1940. That was followed by a cooling period from 1941 to 1975. Since 1975, we have experienced a slight warming trend. The three periods combined give us a surface temperature increase of perhaps one degree Fahrenheit for the entire twentieth century."<br />~ Tom Bethell <br />(with degrees in philosophy, physiology, and psychology from Oxford University)<br /><br />'THE POPULATION BOMB' is a best-selling book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968. It warned of the mass starvation of humans in the 1970s and 1980s due to overpopulation...<br /><br />The 2008 must-see documentary 'DEMOGRAPHIC WINTER' proves that our real problem is NOT overpopulation, but a lack of population replacement, which is going to end in disaster for most countries on the globe.<br /><br />It's always one bogus scare tactic after another meant to gain greater governmental control over the people, leading to a one-world global government ruled by oligarchs. The demise of national sovereignty, will be replaced by a state of global corporate fascism.<br /><br />And those who are falling for it, and unwittingly lobbying for it, accuse US of being "ignorant".

Irresponsible capitalism is the root cause of all the pollution in China, but that's because the West has exploited the East: all the polluting factories are now in the East while America goes into mindless consumerism, bigger cars, more plastic, more cheap clothes. The world can withstand only do much of Capitalistic greed. <br /><br />Education that calls Climate Change a fallacy is what is wrong with our world. The percentage of ignorant Americans is staggering, some of whom think polluting the atmosphere of course has no effect on climate. Sadly, the rest of the world will pay the price for America's policies.<br /><br />The world is terrified of Trump and his supporters, and I'm beginning to see why.<br /><br />I'm officially terrified of you, Lee, and I don't say that lightly. I know I have no hope of changing your mind on climate change, because if you dismiss climate change as fallacy, then there's very little hope.<br /><br />The planet is in peril, no denying it now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283371140346602856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-65429968402062165062016-11-22T19:13:11.303-08:002016-11-22T19:13:11.303-08:00As Doc Holliday would say: (Link>) "OOPS!&...As Doc Holliday would say: (Link>) <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fs8r8Zzvsc" rel="nofollow">"OOPS!"</a></b><br /><br />This is a golden example of why one should never, EVER trust the Lamestream Media with something as important as delivering their news.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

I watched quite a number of Trump's speeches and followed his campaign and didn't see any of these negative things when placed in context. <br /><br />I tend to agree with the scientists who say climate is cyclical. Our concerns as a civilized Earth should be clean air and water and acting as good stewards of the Earth. I think this is more like Trump's stance as well. In the past many years the U.S. air has been cleaned up to a great degree--no smog like they've been recently seeing in China. Environmental concerns are very real, but I do believe that there are some "climate change" fallacies and schemes going on. I have in mind the Solyndra example when Obama first was in office. <br /><br />Polite educated Trump supporters are in the millions and I'd much rather be with them than those protesting whether peacefully or with violence. The Trump Movement represents the values that have made America a great nation which is in opposition to the socialistic globalism that has become so pervasive in the world.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-8378519052347272372016-11-21T06:17:20.845-08:002016-11-21T06:17:20.845-08:00Cherdo, the media licked it's wounds for what ...Cherdo, the media licked it's wounds for what seemed like less than a day and then went back to their inane Trump bashing as though he had already served his term and failed.

There is a lot of dishonesty out there and a good many people have not only been duped to believe it, but also programmed to hate Trump, his supporters, and anyone who is a part of his administration. My greatest fear is not Donald Trump as president, but a malleable people who believe whatever comes their way across airwaves and in print. Our nation is being factionalized and divided by all this push back and negative chatter. Maybe we all need to start looking at things from a more positive perspective.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
