I posted on this already ... looking over a period of decades tropical cyclones worldwide are NOT up. Posting about the last five such storms is inane.

... The left can't believe it could possibly be racist, and that's why they are so very susceptible to the attractions of racism. And racism does have attractions. Germany was probably the most cultured, advanced nation on earth in 1931. Nevertheless, all it took was some racist mystics talking up some mythical Aryan Super-race descended from India to get Germany to go insane for racist lunacies. Racism is an extremely attractive ideology for the dim and weak and unaccomplished. Dumb white people like thinking that they have some mystical connection to Other Great White People. Thus it is that an idiot Klansman can think he share some special blood-and-land kinship with Leonardo Da Vinci. [ Reminds me of that guy who says he wrestled with God because he has a middle name of someone who did wrestle with an angel thousands of years ago. ] Leonardo Da Vinci doesn't need to dream up mystical connections to other White People. He's got enough of his own laurels to not need to grab up on some other White Dude's accomplishments by claiming a mystical racial river running between them. And racism is easy. It is very easy to believe an ideology which tells you you are superior, and that others are inferior. And not just inferior -- affirmatively evil. [ Which every liberal believes. Liberalism's appeal is it tells liberals how virtuous and smart and elite they are. ] Children believe this, implicitly -- half of child development is trying to teach them to stop believing this. Identity politics should be called what it is, and what it is is Racism. Yes, I know that "racism" doesn't technically apply to gender, as it doesn't with religion. (Pendants say that you can't be racist against Muslims -- technically true but trite.) .................. The KKK claimed it was being oppressed by a troika of Yankees, Jews, and Blacks. What makes their endless grievance-mongering unacceptable, whereas Michael Eric Dyson's constant denigrations of White Devils are... what, charming? Enlightened? We call it Identity Politics when we're being polite about it. What it really is, and what we'd call it if we weren't forced to be polite about it, is Racism. And the left is nothing but a miserable, hateful stew of it. ......... http://ace.mu.nu/archives/357137.php
