>> Unlike me, you obviously wouldn't understand Ben Carson's anatomic description of hearing and raising your hand....................... Unlike Carson, I'd wager you can't articulate it at his pace.

The problem with that stuff from Carson is that he is using esoteric terms to IMPRESS people. A fisherman could do the same thing. An electrician could do the same thing. When he does that he is showing weakness. A CONFIDENT man does not try to impress people that way. A confident person tries to impress people by communicating in terms they can understand, but also making them feel that he is much more knowledgeable because of his background and education. There's something a bit SCREWY about Carson and I think it will manifest itself in the next few months.

Ted Cruz Repeatedly Grills Sierra Club President With One Simple Question — Watch the Answer He Gets 8 blaze “Is it the Sierra Club’s position as you just testified, that the Earth is cooking up and heating and warming right now? Is that the Sierra Club’s position?” Cruz asked. “Global temperatures are on the rise sir,” Mair replied. “And I assume that the Sierra Club would issue a public retraction if confronted with the facts?” Cruz asked. “That the data are precisely as I described. That over the last 18 years there has been no significant warming. And indeed that is why global alarmists invented the term ‘the pause’ to explain what they call the pause in global arming because the data demonstrate what you just said that the Earth is cooking and warming is not backed up by the data.” “We are concurring with 97 percent of the scientists that say the exact opposite, sir,” Mair replied. Cruz wasn’t satisfied. “So if the data are contrary to your testimony, would the Sierra Club issue a retraction?” the Texas senator asked. “Sir, we concur with the 97 percent scientific consensus with regards to global warming,” Mair answered. “I’d like to repeat the question and get an answer,” Cruz quipped back. “If the data are contrary to your testimony, would the Sierra Club issue a retraction?” Mair still did not answer the question. “We concur with 97 percent of the scientists that believe the anthropogenic impact of mankind with regards to global warming are true,” the Sierra Club president said. “So does that mean you are not willing to answer the question?” Cruz asked. “We concur with the preponderance of the evidence — you’re asking me if we’ll take 3 percent over the 97 percent? Of course not,” Mair said. Cruz continued to battle with Mair who repeated his answer again. Cruz then offered his thoughts on Muir’s testimony. “You know, Mr. Mair, I find it striking that for a policy organization that purports to focus exclusively on environmental issues, that you are not willing to tell this committee that you would issue a retraction if your testimony is objectively false under scientific data,” Cruz said. “That undermines the credibility of any organization.” —
