According to the Demo-Dopes, we're all racists, but it's okay because we'll all be killed by climate change which is all the military's fault

NOTE:  Chemo Infusion #12 is today, so posting may be short and light for the next couple of days.


This is what I woke up to this morning:

War fuels climate change

American military bases are not victims of climate change. Our military is the largest user of petroleum and the largest producer of greenhouse gases on earth. The U.S. military has emitted 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases in our war on terror.

As we experience the hottest months on record in 140 years, we should consider our disproportionate contribution to the warming of our planet.

It seems insane to destroy the environment that sustains us in an effort to maintain our national lifestyle. I am an Air Force veteran, but we are not “fueling our future.”

We are destroying our future with fuel (and wars for oil).

We fund this life-destroying effort with half of our discretionary tax spending. Climate change is a macro-effect of war and militarism.

We have passed some tipping points, but it is never too late to work for a softer landing. Our heavy carbon footprint affects all life on earth.

Peace is the winning move. Remember the '60s poster: “War is not healthy for children and other living things”?

Peace can save us from the fast burn and the slow boil.

It's time for change in nation built on racism

For those who claim they do not have a racist bone in their body:

America is a racist spine holding together a racist structure, a racist government, a racist landscape, from sea to shining sea.

The foundation of our government was constructed by slaveholders who did not believe black people were human. Our infrastructure, our economy, every seed of America was sown by slaves and the colonization of native peoples. 

Racism is a system of oppression inherently designed to keep people of color from rising. Until we acknowledge the racist power structures our country was built on, we cannot begin to dismantle them. Every white person in this country, no matter their economic background, benefits from America's racist power structure.

When I hear the GOP refuse to acknowledge that our president is a racist, when I hear people tell me they don't have a racist bone in their body, I remember how black people were not allowed to buy houses in the Michigan city my mother grew up in until 1979. I remember how redlining in Chicago has stolen millions from black families. I remember the burning effigies of President Barack Obama, hanging from the noose. I remember Michael Brown and Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin and Phillando Castille. I remember our president basking in a racist chant to send a brown, duly elected congresswoman home, one of the basic definitions of racism. I remember how the racist spine of America enabled our president to be in this position of power, after years of discriminating against black people, after calling them stupid and lazy, after calling for their execution after proven innocence.

And I remember the millions of people who voted for him and chanted with him and agree with him.

This is not an aberration of a racist president. We have always been this way. But we do not have to be. What we do now, in the face of what our country has produced in Donald Trump, is up to us. We can choose to remain this way, or we can begin to dismantle the racist bone we claim we do not have.

You cannot make this sh*t up.  Geez, what’s going to get me first, climate change or being a raging racist?   Can I really go on?  What’s the point?  The only good news is that when climate change wipes us all out in 12 years, the racists will all be dead as well.  Maybe it’s just best that we sit back and enjoy the show until our inevitable end.

I do not know who is in worse shape, Tiernon or Mossoian.  I suspect that Tiernon, like all Lefty Libs, is a hypocrite.  I suspect he gets around now and then by burning some fossil fuels.  I suspect he’s heating his home in the winter and cooling it in the summer in the same manner.  Does he use hot water for bathing?  How does he acquire it?  Does he heat his meals?  He could give all of those things up and make for a "softer landing" for us when climate change comes to collect us all.  

My guess is that he’s more comfortable virtue signaling and hectoring the rest us about climate change than changing anything in the way he does business in his own life.  So he blames it all on the US military for providing for the common defense.  That way he doesn’t have to do one damn thing except tell us how much better he is than the rest of us, because, don't you know, he just cares more. 

Then there’s Mossoian – another hypocritical virtue signaler.  Wow!  Deconstructing this steaming pile of poo would take hours and more electrons than it’s worth.  Let me just point out the obvious:  Who knew the poor white families in Appalachia barely getting by owed their sorry condition to “America’s racist power structure”?   If they only knew, those white families could claim the same victim status as black families unable to rise out of poverty in hellholes – like Chicago - run by black and white Democratic Politicians for decades.

Ahead of the 2020 election, Democrats will be in the business of 24/7 projection.  Democrats are the party of slavery, the party that opposed Reconstruction after the Civil War, the party of segregation and Jim Crow, the party that opposed 1960s Civil Rights legislation, the party that turned once thriving cities and urban areas into unlivable, unmanageable areas of squalor by decades of neglect and today Democrats are the party trying to cover up their legacy of racism by projecting that sin onto anyone and everyone who might have a policy disagreement with them.  After all it's much easier to call your political opponent a racist than it is to argue policy.

America is self-correcting democratic republic that Democrats think is a terrible place.  Reading the local fish wrap this morning, I might agree, except when I compare it to other countries. It’s not perfect.  It’s just better than anywhere else.       

Dare I challenge Mossoian to move to Somalia, Iran, Mexico, Germany, Egypt etc. to check out conditions elsewhere, or would that be racist?

Gotta keep this bit by Andrew Klavan:

If there were a country called Clueless, where the chief religion was Cluelessness, and where the most clueless person was named the High Priest of Cluelessness, and if once a year, on the most holy of Clueless holy days, the Most Clueless High Priest of Cluelessness entered into the Clueless Holy of Holies where a pure spirit of Utter and Endless Cluelessness dwelt in the most perfect state of perfect cluelessness imaginable, then when the High Priest of Cluelessness entered the Clueless Holy of Holies and stood before that perfectly clueless spirit of Utter Cluelessness, he would find himself in the presence of NBC’s Chuck Todd.

I’ll keep it on file and change the name from Chuck Todd to Tim Tiernon or Emily Mossoian when appropriate.  Read the rest of Klavan’s piece here.
