True Progressive Hero

The democrats have begun their "California Democratic State Convention 2011".

They're bragging about providing "live, streaming video of the General Session, including a speech by Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Kamala Harris, and a keynote address by a true progressive hero, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont."

Didja catch that?

They just called Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders a "true progressive hero".

Hero?

Bernie Sanders is as anti-Capitalist, anti-Liberty, anti-American as it gets without wearing an "I Heart Che Guevara" t-shirt.

From Wikipedia:

"" Sanders is a self-described democratic socialist, and has praised European social democracy. He is the first person elected to the U.S. Senate to identify as a socialist. Sanders caucuses with the Democratic Party and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments, but because he does not belong to a formal political party, he appears as an independent on the ballot.

His speeches are laced with anti-business, anti-wealth rhetoric, and cries for social justice that are utterly antithetical to Liberty and the American way of life.

If the democrats consider this fellow a hero, they need a moral, ethical, political, and intellectual enema.

America fought for many decades to defeat the evils of socialism around the globe.  Now we must fight these socialist statists and expunge them from our own shores.

Elections Matter

If We're Gone Tomorrow...

Before he died, Charlton Heston called in to the Rush Limbaugh show and read for all of us a bit of Michael Crichton's prologue to Jurassic Park:


"" You think man can destroy the planet? What intoxicating vanity. 


Let me tell you about our planet. Earth is four-and-a-half-billion-years-old. There's been life on it for nearly that long, 3.8 billion years. Bacteria first; later the first multicellular life, then the first complex creatures in the sea, on the land. Then finally the great sweeping ages of animals, the amphibians, the dinosaurs, at last the mammals, each one enduring millions on millions of years, great dynasties of creatures rising, flourishing, dying away -- all this against a background of continuous and violent upheaval. Mountain ranges thrust up, eroded away, cometary impacts, volcano eruptions, oceans rising and falling, whole continents moving, an endless, constant, violent change, colliding, buckling to make mountains over millions of years. 


Earth has survived everything in its time. It will certainly survive us. 


If all the nuclear weapons in the world went off at once and all the plants, all the animals died and the earth was sizzling hot for a hundred thousand years, life would survive, somewhere: under the soil, frozen in Arctic ice. Sooner or later, when the planet was no longer inhospitable, life would spread again. The evolutionary process would begin again. It might take a few billion years for life to regain its present variety. Of course, it would be very different from what it is now, but the earth would survive our folly, only we would not. 


If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears the earth, so what? 


Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out. Do you think this is the first time that's happened? 


Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison, a corrosive gas, like fluorine. When oxygen was first produced as a waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on earth. Those plants were polluting the environment, exhaling a lethal gas. Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless, life on earth took care of itself. 


In the thinking of the human being a hundred years is a long time. A hundred years ago we didn't have cars, airplanes, computers, or vaccines. It was a whole different world, but to the earth, a hundred years is nothing. 


A million years is nothing. 


This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms, and we haven't got the humility to try. We've been residents here for the blink of an eye. 


If we're gone tomorrow, the earth will not miss us. ""
