Liberals are proven wrong on major issues
or Why liberals are dangerous

Liberals allow free speech as long as it agrees with their ideas.
Some examples of colleges limiting free speech can be found in this article: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2006/11/29/cstillwell.DTL among others. On college campuses, conservative speakers are shouted down or even physically threatened by liberal bully students – and the campus administration does nothing about it. Most conservative speakers don’t attempt to speak at university campuses because they know it is useless.
So, you may ask, what is wrong with being a liberal besides not allowing others to disagree with them?
My answer is: liberals are more often proved wrong on major issues than correct. Here are my favorite examples:
- In the 1970’s, there was a big fear that the earth was undergoing a climate cooling and it will affect the world’s food supply. In fact, the earth had been cooling from 1945 to 1962. Reference: http://www.denisdutton.com/cooling_world.htm.
Global warming and cooling is just the earth going through its natural cycles. In 1924, the New York Times declared we were entering a new “Ice Age”. The liberals profit from these scares by getting the government to spend money on studies to help find solutions – all good hearted, but just wasted money (except for the liberals receiving the money). In the 1980s the environmentalists were paid to find ways to stop the global cooling by ideas like covering the arctic ice cap with black soot so the sun’s rays would not bounce off the ice but be absorbed so as to heat the cap to melt the ice.
Then, in the 1990’s, the man-made “Global Warming” scare started heating up. Al Gore is the champion of man-made Global Warming fears and, he is a big investor in green industries - becoming a millionaire many times over in the last few years.
But, more importantly, the earth’s temperature has dropped over the last 10 years – thus proving the liberals wrong.
- Jimmy Carter, in his 1978 speech, said we will run out of oil in ten years. We haven’t run out after 30 years. Ref: http://www.pcap.ncat.org/docs/presidential_quotes.pdf.
- Hillary Clinton in Nov, 2006, just before the off-year election says "If you don't like the high price of gasoline, then vote for Democrats". Twelve months later, with the Democrats controlling the Senate and House, gasoline prices were their highest ever.
- Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, Apr 20, 2007, said "the war in Iraq is lost". On Nov 20, 2007, the NY Times said that since the "surge" started, the American and Iraqi deaths are way down - indicating there is a major turn in the status of the war - we are winning.
