III. New Rule: Bogus Policy = Loser Leaves Town In days past, when a public official or prominent professional advocated policies that turned ruinous, there used to be a day of reckoning. Now, instead, leftists are allowed to make any number of false, mistaken, and even patently dishonest statements without suffering any consequence. This is because ideology has so taken over our universities, government, media and political processes that citizens are utterly distracted. No longer are we trained in logic, scientific thinking or common sense. Many scientists, politicians, and celebrities have joined the effort to force Global Warming measures down the throats of Americans. Should not these persons also bear the risk of trying to influence public policy in America, which, if mistaken, could pointlessly cause mass unemployment and even economic collapse? After all, noted science expert and singer Sheryl Crowe wants Americans to use just one square of toilet paper per trip. Many scientists have colluded in the scam, in a mad dash for fame, power and wealth. Finally, the average American has caught onto the hoax, as about 7 in 10 believe science is being falsified to support the Global Warming racket. But, occasionally a scientist is held accountable for Global Warming dishonesty. For example, the US researcher who wrote a misleading paper suggesting polar bears were dying off because of increased heat, was investigated and terminated. Typical of the superficial Hollywood leftism, high school graduate Leonardo DiCaprio, did voice over work for the 2011 scaremonger Global Warming documentary, The 11th Hour. It’s interesting how many entertainers seem educated when reading a script, but hopeless with complex subjects on their own. In February 2013, a number of Hollywood celebrities, including Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Woody Harrelson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Edward Norton, Adam Levine and Morgan Freeman bought a full page ad in a WA DC newspaper, demanding Obama “phase out” fossil fuels, stating: Your legacy as 44th president of the United States rests firmly on your leadership on climate disruption. Only the president has the power to lead an effort on the scale and with the urgency we need to phase out fossil fuels and lead America, and the world, in a clean energy revolution. But what to do about the massive amount of misinformation put out by either willful or wholly ignorant pseudo-science advocates?
