Jock gives us a "special" view of the world. Thanks, Jock. The short bus is waiting for you. Now, this supposed "theocrats" of the last 8 years is an absolute media invention. Look at the various college with "gay studies" departments. Any scholar that even mentions "intelligent design" is fired from academic. It's getting so bad that some professors at major college do not dare admit they go to a church for fear it may damage their tenure. Also, this article does not mention the global warming sceptics. Many objective scientists have found that the global warming can be traced to lack of particulates in the air and that can be traced to lack of volcanic activity. Next, the sun may be going into a major cooling phase. The last sixteen years was a period of high solar activty. Yet to write on those two objective things went against the religion of global warming. The left wing has more sacred cows than the right. They just have friends at Disney who can write an article making themselves seem oppressed when just the opposite has been true.
